Applaud the worker bees To the Editor: I really like this paper you put out, but sometimes a few things of interest get left in the dust. The Veterans’ Day potluck and gathering at the Sportsman Pub-n-Grub was brought into being by two ladies. One whose idea it was and the other who helped make it happen — Janel Burelbach and Marlene Carter.

It was Janel that so wanted some way to thank our vets, and all vets everywhere, but mostly here, so they talked to Rob Royster, and he, like always, jumped on board by turning over the tavern and providing hot dogs and chili, and the first beverage on the house. All the potluck food (and there is quite a feast provided) comes from a multitude of people that offer to bring whatever they can to make it bountiful. All decorations are provided by Janel Burelbach. The

work parties are assembled by people saying “What needs to be done?” and “What can I do?” or “What can I bring?”

In short, it’s a community’s way to say thank you.

Marlene Carter passed away in June of 2004, so it is also a way to honor her as well. The Veterans’ party has been going on for many years. It’s through the effort of many people who don’t care if their names are mentioned, because it’s done with the spirit that this community is known for.

ORETOWN — Developer John DeJong will highlight a proposed 105acre planned destination resort during presentations to the Neskowin CPAC on Dec. 3 and the Pacific City-Woods CPAC on Dec. 17. The Neskowin meeting starts at 10 a.m. at Neskowin Fire Hall and the Pacific City forum at 10:30 a.m. at Pacific Coast Bible Church. Located near Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge, the Nestucca Sea Ranch development, currently in pre-application stage, calls for a 85- to 90-room hotel, 16 condo units, and 50 residential lots. To meet Tillamook County’s requirement of at least 50 percent open space, the proposal is planning for a three-hole golf course, a community center, swimming pool, tennis courts, and trails. DeJong is developing the property for the Eulav Pearn Life Estate. For more information, call Tillamook County Department of Community Development at 503-842-3408.

Recipes sought for community cookbook CLOVERDALE — Blacktail Café owner Sandra Porter is seeking contributions for a community cookbook, which she hopes to put together as a fundraiser to help pay for the completion of a welcome to Cloverdale sign that will eventually be erected on the south end of town. According to Porter, approximately $3,000 needs to be raised to finish the sign project. A similar sign was erected on the north end of town last June — just prior to Clover’s Day. Recipes can be e-mailed to Porter at swporter@embarqmail. com.

Chasing a dream Beaver landmark to reopen as ‘The Mercantile’ on Dec. 17 when the venue hosts a Christmas concert and musical variety show

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun BEAVER — The spotlight will soon shine on a historical building that started life as a cheese factory, was reinvented as a country store in the 1990s and is now in the throes of getting ready for a new life as an entertainment venue. The Beaver Mercantile, which owner Fred Bassett says will now be known as simply “The Mercantile,” will begin hosting folk music concerts on Dec. 17, operating under the umbrella of Folk Fellowship.

Bassett and fellow folk artist Jim Loughrie are currently hard at work renovating the venue, which served the community for 17 years as an Oregontrail era general store stocked with clothing, food, hardware, sporting goods, books and more. After it closed in 2004, Bassett unsuccessfully tried to sell the building for two years, but now says he’s glad it remained in his hands so he can pursue his vision of creating a destination spot for folk artists from a variety of disciplines.

The inaugural concert will be both a tip of the hat to Bassett’s late wife Kathy, who would have been 60 on Dec. 17, and a celebration of the season. Happy Birthday, Kathy – A Christmas Celebration will feature puppets, original folk tunes and traditional Christmas carols.

The show starts at 7 p.m. A Sunday matinee will follow suit on Dec. 18. The 2 p.m. performance will feature a kids’ puppet show. Admission to both events is by donation.

Though this first event will feature more traditional seating, the duo has plans to furnish the venue with living and dining room furniture in an effort to give the hall a homey feeling.

The coming venue may be small, but Bassett and Loughrie are dreaming big.

Already the duo has lined up a series of spring concerts including an April 2012 show by David Roth, who has played annual concerts in Pacific City for the past nine years.

But a freshly minted concert hall will be just the start if Bassett and Loughrie get their way. On the to do list is attract-

FOLK MUSICIANS Jim Loughrie (at left) and Fred Bassett are the dynamic duo behind an effort to create a folk center at the old Beaver Mercantile that they hope will be a place for folk artists of all types to share their music and art. Now known simply as The Mercantile, the new venue makes its debut on Saturday, Dec. 17 when the duo takes to their new stage (seen above still under construction) for “Happy Birthday, Kathy – A Christmas Celebration.” The 7 p.m. show will feature puppets, original folk tunes and traditional Christmas carols. A Sunday matinee will follow at 2 p.m. on Dec. 18. Admission to both events is by donation. For more information, call 503-398-5720. ing touring musicians, as well as folk art instructors who can lead workshops.

A limited amount of lodging space is planned, as well as a small recording studio. They also hope to facilitate musicians’ rise in the world of folk music by recording all live acts.

“There’s people like David Roth who have 12 CDs out, but there’s also people like us who are just knocking on the door,” said Bassett. “What we want is to have people come here, perform and walk away with not only a few dollars in their pocket, but maybe with a recording they can market.”

The long-range plan is for Folk Fellowship to gain non-profit status and on the strength of grants, purchase the property from Bassett. But they can’t do it without a little help from the community. Folk Fellowship is looking for volunteers to help with filing for nonprofit status, grant writing and more, as well as talented folk artists from all different media. To find out how you can contribute, contact Folk Fellowship at folkfellowship@gmail.com.

The Mercantile is located at 24747 Highway 101 South in Beaver. For more information, call 503-398-5720.

Developer to share resort vision

The bell tolls, but can you hear it?

PACIFIC CITY — The sound of silence is one serenade those fishing off Cape Kiwanda do not want to hear — not when their safety hangs in the balance.

A navigational buoy placed by the U.S. Coast Guard on Aug. 17 has come under fire by some members of the dory fleet. Fishermen are saying that the bell buoy lacks the volume to sufficiently warn those navigating along the Cape. Longtime resident Phil Hurliman is circulating a petition to drum up support for a return to a whistle buoy. He says he has already collected about 200 signatures.

The USCG replaced a whistle buoy that had been installed on May 31, 2010, in large part because of community outcry that the whistle sounded like “a sick cow.” Prior to the 2010 change, a bell buoy had serviced the Cape for 16 years though a whistle buoy was a mainstay for many years prior.

“Lots of dory boat owners have complained about the safety,” said Hurliman. “The bell they put out there you can’t hear until you’re 50 yards from the buoy. It creates a dangerous situation.”

Though he recognizes that some found the whistle buoy’s sound disturbing, he feels boat safety trumps that concern.

However, USCG Commander Daryl Peloquin, waterways management branch chief for 13th Coast Guard District, said that either buoy style serves the need of the dory fleet.

“I believe a bell buoy or a whistle buoy meets the needs of the mariner. We made the (May 2010) change

(to a whistle buoy) mostly for economic reasons, and we made the change back because of the large number of residents who requested the change,” he said.

That said, he pledged to investigate any complaints the Coast Guard receives.

But Dorymen’s Association Co-Chair Paul Hanneman said that, in this case, the complaint is a legitimate one. He said that while the previous bell buoy was loud enough to address safety concerns, this one doesn’t appear to be up to the task.

“When I came by in heavy fog last September, I couldn’t have missed it by more than 50 feet and I never heard it,” he said. “At least with the former bell, we could hear it by the end of the Cape and sometimes as far away as Haystack Rock. In this case, it doesn’t make enough sound to help anyone. It’s worse than not being there at all because it is listed in charts as a device that has sound.”

Peloquin said that the new bell and clapper device is exactly the same specifications as the prior bell buoy.

The Association has not yet made a formal resolution about the new buoy, but Hanneman said informal discussions indicate a majority of the group’s board do not like the new navigational device.

“From my position as one of two co-chairs of the Association, I will be thinking seriously of polling the board to send a formal request back to the Coast Guard in Seattle to replace that little thing.”

Those interested in signing Hurliman’s petition can call 503-930-4987.

Tax season looms, challenges await LINCOLN CITY — As the end of 2011 approaches, businesses and individuals alike are taking care of last minute tasks to prepare for tax season. Businesses in particular need to be aware of the state and federal laws regarding payroll and payroll taxes.

“There may be a bit of confusion this year,” said Stephanie Franklin, office manager at Bryan P. Fitzsimmons, CPA in Lincoln City. “Beginning in 2012, employers are required to include the employer’s cost of medical coverage for each employee on W2 forms.

This fringe benefit isn’t taxable; the IRS just wants to track it.”

All W2 forms issued for 2011 will show how much an employer contributed toward an employee’s medical coverage. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) stresses that this is for informational purposes only and is not considered taxable income and will be included in one of the informational boxes of the Form W2.

Another area of scrutiny continues to be the fine line between who qualifies as an independent contractor and who qualifies as an employee. The IRS will increase scrutiny on businesses this year in regards to this issue.

“While the IRS and ODR (Oregon Department of Revenue) do differ a bit on independent contractors vs. employees, both definitions are substantially

the same,” said Franklin. “There are cases, however, that the varying definitions can get an employer into trouble.”

This fine point is particularly important in Tillamook County due to the seasonal nature of much work in the area and the payroll costs associated with an employee.

“Employers can and have hired people as independent contractors and found out later from the State that they hired an employee instead,” said Franklin.

“Even the person who was hired thought they were a contractor, but the government determined them to be an employee and assessed taxes. It can depend on the employer, whose equipment is being used, amount of control and a host of other factors.”

Employers are advised to consult a tax or payroll professional to design a strategy for hiring and to learn the possible legal and financial penalties.

Also new for 2012, Congress amended the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC). Employers will receive a tax credit of up to $5600 for hiring a veteran who has been looking for work for six months or more.

The amended WOTC has been extended for one year for those who hire qualified veterans.

By SALLY RISSEL for the Sun It is easy to take for granted that Cape Kiwanda has always been in public domain, but its ownership and history could have gone many other directions if it weren’t for the generosity of the McPhillips family.

Barnard McPhillips was a farmer from McMinnville who along with his brother, James, came to Oregon in 1852. They had made a Photo courtesy of the Sally Rissel collection fortune in the California BARNEY McPHILLIPS gifted Cape Kiwanda to the State of Oregon in 1973.

Bernard and his brother eventually settled in Yamhill County to raise cattle until the winter of 1855-56 when a bad storm killed all but one of their herds. They farmed, found wives and raised families.

In 1888, Bernard purchased 302 acres in South Tillamook County. The acreage encompassed the land between Cape Kiwanda and Tierra Del Mar. The land was covered with huckleberries and grass where Bernard grazed his sheep. He built a house, barn and several outbuildings east of what is now McPhillips Drive, on property now owned by Thousand Trails.

At some point, Bernard allowed people from the Valley to camp on his property, and hundreds came. They came in covered wagons to what became known as McPhillips CampThe Oregon Highway Commission once was going ground. Miles Creek furnished fresh water for the camp- to pay McPhillips $488,000 for the Cape (56 acres) and a ers, who pitched their tents along its sandy banks. The 15-acre track to the north.

A group of 32 students from Salem’s Jane Goodall Elementary School and a few parents, too, work to eliminate Scotch Broom and Himalayan Blackberry during a work day at Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge on Nov. 30. The invasive weeds were encroaching on the old Highway 101 road bed at the Refuge’s Little Nestucca Restoration site.

Alex Sifford from the NestuccaNeskowin-Sand Lake Watershed Council was also on hand and teamed with JGEMS teacher Marie Carver to lead the students in removing this invasive species.

CPAC opposes ADUs

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun PACIFIC CITY — With several individual members citing their rights as property owners to maintain current density levels, the Pacific City-Woods CPAC voted on Nov. 21 to recommend to the Tillamook County Planning Commission that they not pursue planned code amendments that would allow for the building of accessory dwelling units in unincorporated Tillamook County.

Furthermore, the motion is forwarding the recommendation that the Pacific City-Woods area not be included should the Planning Commission approve the proposed code. Out of the nine CPAC members in attendance, five voted for the recommendation of non support, two voted against and two abstained.

The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Thursday, Dec. 15, starting at 7 p.m., to discuss the code amendment.

Most of the board was in opposition to the measure, though treasurer Sean Carlton was “OK” with the proposal.

“To me it’s just one tool in an arsenal for making workforce housing a little better,” he said.

But CPAC secretary Bud Miller said that allowing greater density in his neighborhood amounts to robbing current landowners of property rights.

“I don’t see how someone building a duplex next to me is an advantage,” he said.

Speaking on behalf of the Pacific City Heights Neighborhood Association, Larry Rouse said his group objects to the increased density that ADUs would permit.

He added that Pacific City Heights residents paid a premium to live in a community of mostly full-time residents and any new regulation that would allow greater density in the area amounts to a loss of property rights.

Neither chair Dave Yamamoto nor past chair Gloria Scullin were to able to make the meeting, but both sent letters that questioned the wisdom of the ADU ordinance. Yamamoto cited the decrease in lot size necessary to build multi-family dwellings as his number one concern.

Scullin questioned the impact of the ordinance saying she would prefer a more active approach to solving the problem of a lack of workforce housing.

But not everyone felt that allowing ADUs would take away property rights.

Realtor Barbara Taylor pointed to the inclusion of ADUs in Portland’s most recent Street of Dreams as well as their presence in many upscale areas in San Francisco.

“It just doesn’t necessarily diminish property value,” she said.

“The ADU is not the end all and be all of meeting the need of affordable housing. It is a tool and it has been affective in a lot of communities,” said Valerie Soilihi, director of the Tillamook County Department of Community Development. “I see it as a restriction not a right to do something. To me it seems like you’re adding opportunity.”

“The argument that it somehow deprives property rights is a flip-flop,” added Pacific City motel owner Doug Olson. “I’m thinking of someone who owned a large parcel and wanted to build a farmhouse and couldn’t do it after Measure 37. This seems the opposite.”

Olson also reminded those opposing the ordinance that they still have a tool in the toolbox. He said if Pacific City were to incorporate as a city, it would wrestle control of issues just like this away from the county and into the hands of Pacific City’s own city hall.

He added Pacific City would be in the top-half of all cities in Oregon population wise if the new city were to use the same boundaries as the Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority.

PACIFIC CITY — Not every gift is adorned in shiny wrapping paper and intricately tied bows, but such gifts can ring out joy nonetheless. Such is the case with Nestucca Valley Presbyterian Church’s annual musical present that inspires young and old to embrace the Christmas spirit!

On Sunday, Dec. 18, the longtime church will present an afternoon of Christmas classics powered by the musical duo of Margaret Slagle and Shelly Stoll and punctuated by the vocal talents of soloist Jill Becker.

The free concert and sing-a-long starts at 3 p.m. at 35305 Brooten Road in Pacific City.

The program will feature a combination of organ and piano music, as well as four carols designed to elicit a bit of audience participation.

Slagle said that though she and Stoll are daily rewarded with the joy of music as they practice their hearts out in preparation for weekly church performances, it is a joy she longs to share with the residents and visitors of the “Home of the Dory Fleet.”

“I think it’s nice to give everyone a sense of

celebrating Christ in Christmas and getting into the holiday spirit,” said Becker. “It’s a small community and it feels like family when you do things like this. It makes my heart and spirit feel good.”

With traditional music that reaches back through the centuries, the performance will feature organ solos, as well as piano/organ duets and Becker’s triumphant mezzo-soprano voice.

“Everybody can relate to music,” said Becker “No matter who you are, it touches you. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate.”

And while the spotlight may be on the musical trio, that is by no means all this concert has to offer. All three performers voiced excitement of the inclusion of caroling as a way to make this an all-inclusive Christmas celebration.

“It’s one thing to perform for others,” said Becker, “but it’s another to offer it as an opportunity to participate and not just be an audience but to actually participate. I think it’s important to get everybody involved.”

Christmas camp urges a return home

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun WINEMA — High school youths looking for some spiritual stimulus will have a chance to return from winter vacation with a dose of inspiration, fun and solid Biblical teaching thanks to Camp Winema’s annual Christmas Camp, which will commence on Dec. 27.

With the theme of “Home for the Holidays,” the weeklong exploration of Bible truths owes its inspiration to the Bible’s story of the prodigal’s son.

“It’s based on the idea that sometimes we run away from home. We don’t face our problems. We want to do our own thing instead of what God calls us to do,” said camp director John Swanson.

The message here, he says, is that no matter what we’ve done and what path we’ve ventured off to, we can still come back to the fold.

“There’s always a place for us in God’s family,” he said.

To get this important truth across, Swanson said the camp will leverage a combination of in-depth Bible classes, service projects for the camp, evening speakers, and devotions.

And because the camp strives to remind all that Christianity need not be boring, the camp also includes a fun activity. This year’s diversion will be a cake decorating and cupcake making class.

“We try to get everybody really into the Bible,” says Swanson. “We want to make sure we’re really Biblically based. We have lots of devotion in the morning.”

One element of the camp that Swanson believes serves to underscore the growth students experience is the bonfire that wraps up each day’s foray into the Word.

“It’s interesting to see them interact and speak and say how (what they’ve learned) is going to work into their daily lives. They are committed to not only being Christian at church or school but making that heart choice even at home,” he said.

Since taking over the Christmas camp four years ago, Swanson has seen the camp attract twice the

students and counselors at Winema Christmas Camp played a variation of tag called “Christmas counselor rodeo” during the 2010 camp. This year, the Christmas camp “fun activity” will center around cake decorating. Enrollment to the 2011 Winema Christmas Camp is still open to students in grades 9 through 12. Registration is $165 per student. To sign-up, visit www.winema.org. enrollment each year. This year he expects 60 to 75 students. He says that what makes that even more special is the commitment level that most Christmas camp enrollees embrace.

“Kids have to forfeit a week of winter break. That’s a good chunk of each kid’s winter vacation so kids that

are here obviously want to be. It adds to the atmosphere of the camp.”

Enrollment to the 2011 Winema Christmas Camp is still open to students in grades 9 through 12. Registration is $165 per student. To sign-up, visit www. winema.org.

Shine on, Cloverdale!

CLOVERDALE — Sweets and song will sweep revelers into the start of the Christmas season when Blacktail Café hosts the fifth annual Cloverdale Christmas Tree Lighting, Saturday, Dec. 10 in downtown Cloverdale.

Doing the honors of turning the power on for Cloverdale’s holiday symbol will be Shell Game owner and operator Lois Peterson along with her husband Gus. Though the party officially will get going at 6 p.m. when the Petersons flick the switch and Santa comes rolling in on Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District’s shiny red engine, revelers can also stop by early as Blacktail Café owner Sandra Porter is preparing a special menu of hot soups, rolls and more for the occasion.

Setting the tone for the evening will be an ensemble of the Nestucca Elementary School band, who will sing a selection of Christmas classics following the arrival of Santa.

But music won’t be the only treat — youngsters can take their turn snuggling up to Santa and taking home complimentary bags loaded with treats. Refreshments for all will also be provided.

And because it’s just as good to give as receive, the event will double as a food drive for the South Tillamook County Christmas Basket Program. While attendees do not need to bring canned food to revel in the festivities, they will be rewarded with one raffle ticket for each food item donated.

Up for grabs is a basket loaded with contributions from local residents and businesses.

For more information about Cloverdale’s celebration of the Christmas season, call Blacktail Café at 503-392-3901. The lighting ceremony is sponsored by the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce and organized by the Cloverdale Christmas Committee, which is a branch of the Chamber’s Cloverdale Committee.

Band not available In the “Flick of the Switch,” published in the Nov. 18 of the Pacific City Sun, we incorrectly reported that the Nestucca High School band would be playing during the Christmas tree lighting festivities. In fact, the band is unable to play at this year’s ceremony because of a commitment made prior to the scheduling of the event. We apologize for the misinformation.

PUD gift energizes students CLOVERDALE — The Tillamook PUD Light Brigade awarded $500 to Nestucca Valley Elementary School as part of the group’s annual distributions aimed at bringing a little Christmas cheer during the holiday season. South Prairie Elementary and Liberty Elementary also received $500 gifts.

The Light Brigade, formed in 1993, is a volunteer group of employees and their families who seek to bring a little joy to a few families each year during the holidays. Between 15 and 20 families are helped each year with food baskets and gifts. The Light Brigade funding comes from voluntary payroll deductions, and

contributions of food, gifts and other items. No public funds are involved.

In addition, PUD employees donate funds to elementary schools to help economically disadvantaged children. The money is earmarked for coats, shoes, and other needed clothing, backpacks, school supplies and transportation to medical appointments. Wilson School, the first recipient of Light Brigade funds, received $234 in 1991. The amount donated and the number of schools has increased over the years; and in 2006, employees began donating $500 each to three public elementary schools.

‘12 fishing licenses now available SALEM — Hunting and fishing licenses, Sports Pacs and parking permits for 2012 went on sale Dec. 1. They can be purchased on the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife website, at ODFW license agents and at ODFW offices that sell licenses.

A Juvenile Resident Sports Pac lets 12- to 17-year olds fish, hunt, crab and clam all year for only $52. The package includes one of each of the following: combination angling/hunting/shellfish license; combined angling harvest tag; upland game bird and Oregon waterfowl validation; and tags (general or controlled) for deer, elk, bear, cougar and spring turkey.

Adult anglers and hunters reap the benefits of reduced pricing in a Sports Pac for $164.75.

Senior citizens 70 and over who have been Oregon residents for five years get a fishing license for $15 and a hunting license for $13.75. Raffle tickets start at $4.50 and make a great gift for any hunter who wants an additional chance to hunt big game.

Winners can hunt an expanded area and extended season.

For the wildlife viewer or the angler who visits one or all five of the ODFW Wildlife Areas on the Parking Permit Program — Denman, E.E. Wilson, Ladd Marsh, Summer Lake and Sauvie Island, permits can be purchased wherever fishing and hunting licenses are sold. An annual permit is $22. (A free parking permit will be included with an annual hunting license; combination fishing

and hunting license; and Sports Pac. A parking permit will not be included with an annual fishing license.)

If you are giving a license as a gift, it’s important to make sure you have the hunter’s or angler’s full name and date of birth (day, month, year). If the person has previously had a license, make sure you have their ODFW hunter/angler ID number, which is found at the top of their license. If you are purchasing a license for someone who has never had a license, you will have to provide his or her social security number in compliance with Federal and State laws.

ODFW is also encouraging residents to consider making a donation to the Nongame Wildlife Fund, which helps ODFW biologists conserve the state’s fish, wildlife and their habitats. The Nongame Wildlife Fund, established by the Oregon State Legislature, funds the conservation of the 88 percent of Oregon’s wildlife that are not hunted, trapped or fished. Over the years, the Nongame Fund has benefited many species including the peregrine falcon, bald eagle, western snowy plover, western pond turtle, grassland birds, yellowlegged frog, Townsend’s big-eared bat and whiteheaded woodpecker as well as native habitats on both private and public lands.

FISHING & OUTDOORS

Enjoy a Visit with

Grin and fish it

Mrs. Claus

By PAT GEFRE for the Sun

Your Christmas Tree

I’m sitting back smiling a little bit.

The reason for my jubilance is in the reflection of how successful our fishing seasons have been this year and how many of our fish runs have returned to former grandeur. How successful all of our hatchery programs have been and how the fish runs have recovered — thanks to good management practices and caring sportsmen’s organizations.

For starters, the winter steelhead run this year was nearly as good as it gets. We had a great resurgence of wild steelhead and a very good return of hatchery broodstock steelhead this past winter. Lots of folks participated in the broodstock program including local guides, and local fishermen. All had a hand in the collection of native steelhead that were taken to the hatchery and then put into the broodstock program, propagating a hatchery run from wild stocks and providing lots of opportunity for fishermen to take fish home. Native steelhead can’t be harvested, so having the broodstock hatchery program provided not only some quality fishing but also some fish that can be retained and taken home to enjoy.

Then we had the spring chinook run.

This run of fish includes wild salmon and hatchery salmon. Both the wild and hatchery salmon have made a tremendous comeback, from a run that barely existed 10 years ago, to what today is one of the better spring chinook runs on the north coast. The folks at Cedar Creek Hatchery deserve many thanks as the hatchery staff have done a superb job of making the spring chinook run one of the best on the North Coast. The last three years have seen the numbers of returning spring salmon increase exponentially.

This runs seems to be getting stronger every year.

Summer steelhead, another wild and hatchery fishery, again provided many fishermen with the opportunity to continue to fish almost all summer. The hatchery again provided an opportunity to harvest, what in my opinion is, the best eating steelhead of all. Though this fishery is underutilized and underfished, it provides a unique fishery, especially for fly fishermen. Pontoon boaters, canoes, and rafters have the rare chance to be on the river by themselves without the distraction of drift boats and crowded waters.

Fall fishing has seen a much better season than the last four to five years.

Fall chinook are on the rebound with many fishermen harvesting better catches over the last four years. improved fishery. Coho have recovered from dismal numbers to the point where we were given a coho fishery in tidewater.

The recovery is good enough to consider more tidewater and river fisheries for next year. It has been almost 20 years since the coho were this strong, and I think when ODFW reviews the data they might find that the spawn for Coho was much higher than even they predicted.

Fall chinook have made a fair to good recovery with most fishermen experiencing much better catches than over the last four years. The Rhoades Pond fall chinook hatchery program contributed mightily this year as most fishermen tagged several hatchery salmon in their bag limits. Having the ability to catch two salmon a day, one being wild and one being hatchery, made for better fishing days for many. Nestucca Anglers and the many volunteers contributing to this labor of love have put in place a program that should be replicated up and down the coast. It certainly has been successful and should serve as a role model for local fishing groups to start their own initiatives.

Yes, I’m smiling a little bit; Mother Nature has been good to the fish runs as the ocean seems to be very fertile. Combine that with the tender care from ODFW and volunteer and fishing groups and it all adds up to superior fishing opportunities and I think a higher awareness and understanding of what we have to do to keep the level of returning fish runs high.

We have collectively all taken on the challenge and, I believe, successfully added more dimension to the quality of our sport. Yes, I’m smiling...just a little bit.

Irish outplay Nestucca

By DEE MOORE for the Sun CLOVERDALE — Turnovers took their toll on the Nestucca Bobcats’ debut effort of the ’11-’12 season as the ‘Cats faltered 35-44 in a Nov. 30 heated and intense game.

While the ‘Cats hit the court slow, the Irish were on their toes from the tip-off and played strong on both ends of the court. Waldport quickly sank a pair of field goals to start the game and while the ‘Cats made an attempt to recover lost ground, Waldport held tight and dominated the court.

As the quarter neared its end, Nestucca managed to tie the score thanks to senior Mike Tipton, but the Irish dogged their heels with two successive baskets. Nestucca senior Nick Ahn added another hoop as the ‘Cats found themselves down 7-9 at the close of the first.

The second quarter saw the ‘Cats warmed up, more focused and playing a better game, but the Irish maintained their lead despite the ‘Cats concentrated defensive effort. The Irish scored at the start of the quarter but Ahn responded with a three-point play to close the gap.

The Irish answered to maintain a three-point advantage.

But that’s when the ‘Cats rallied. A free throw made

by Tipton followed by a basket made by Tyler Zeller brought Nestucca on par with the Irish 13-13. Another basket by Ahn followed by another free throw made

by Joey Chatelain helped Nestucca to their first lead of 17-13. But the Irish came charging back, knotting up the contest at 17-17 by the break.

In the second half, the Irish scored a basket early in the game pulling ahead by 3, which was quickly followed by shot after shot as the ‘Cats struggled to regain their brief lead. By the last two minutes of the third quarter, Waldport had built a 27-17 advantage. The Irish took a 21-29 lead into the final quarter.

The Bobcats jumped into the fourth with a strong start with Case Roos doing the initial damage. It was 2729 and the ‘Cats seemed to be knocking on the door. But thanks to their strong passing game, the Irish regained control. Though two free throws brought the ‘Cats score up to 28, they were unable to prevent the Irish from taking a 12-point lead. As the clock ran down, Nestucca narrowed the point spread, bringing their score up to 35, but they were unable to catch the Irish’s lead. At the buzzer, Waldport took the game 44-35.

Nestucca coach Jim Kiser was not happy with his team but sees the game as a learning experience.

“Obviously I’m not too happy with the way we played. They played an aggressive fast defense that forced us into a lot of turnovers,” Kiser said.

“We got off to slow starts in both the first and third quarters. I’m thinking a lot of that was nerves.”

The game accentuated the team’s positives, according to Kiser, and will help him focus on the areas they need to strengthen with practice drills and hard work.

“We got a lot of good shots,” he added, “they just didn’t fall for us last night. I think we’re a good shooting team, we just were overthinking a lot of things. Defensively I thought we played okay and I was happy with how the younger kids played.”

The leading scorer was Nick Ahn with 14 points.

Mike Tipton had 6 boards.

Lady ‘Cats control Irish, win opener 27-21

By DEE MOORE for the Sun CLOVERDALE — The Lady ‘Cats dominated the court Wednesday, Nov. 30 in their season opener against the Lady Irish. They came on strong and headed off every attempt the Waldport team made to gain a little bit of head way.

Their teamwork and skill won them a furiously fought and intense game. The final score 27-21 Nestucca.

The ‘Cats started off by nailing a three-pointer within the first minute of play and though the Irish quickly closed the score to 3-2, they were never able to cause the Nestucca to fear the green for even a minute.

Jasmine Boisa dominated the court making numerous shots while playing a strong aggressive lead in defense.

Brittany Hurlimann and Jessica Elder also led the team with attacks against the Irish’s defense.

By the end of the first quarter, the Lady Cats had taken a strong lead with a five to zero score. This quarter brought the year’s first, though not serious, injury when Sophia Solano went down under an Irish foul.

Though the Lady Irish had a strong offensive game, the ‘Cats strong passing game and defensive pressure never let the Irish gain much ground. Their calm approach and well run plays showed throughout the game.

Though there were a number of quick turnovers and at one point the Irish wrestled away control of the court and the board from the ‘Cats, the Nestucca women managed to immediately

turn Waldport on their heels.

The end of the second half brought numerous turnovers, but the Lady Cats remained in control bringing the audience to their feet as they prevented the Irish time and again from making a shot.

Head coach, B.J. Chatelain was beaming with pride as his team exited the court.

“It’s always nice to win the opening game of the season. It was a total team effort,” Chatelain said.

“After a nervous start, things settled down and they started running the plays,” he said. “Brittney Hurlimann had a great game with eight points and nine rebounds.

“Jasmime Boisa did an excellent job on defense and had four steals. Natasha Helsing had two big ‘3’s’ in the second half when Waldport was trying to mount a comeback.

“Everyone contributed to the win, most of the team scored some points and everyone rebounded and they all played pretty good defense.”

But one win does not a season make and Chatelain knows his team has to keep on working hard to make this win one of many.

“Some of things that we need to work on are slowing down and running the plays more smoothly and not forcing shots,” he said.

“Again, this was a great way to start the season and hopefully sets the tone for the rest of the year.”

The Lady ‘Cats will travel to Sheridan on Dec. 2 and Santiam on Dec. 6 before returning home to battle Portland Lutheran on Dec. 8.
