GUEST OPINIONS

Commissioners defend TLT plan, laud its transparency The new transient lodging tax (TLT), which went into effect January 2014, marks a new era for Tillamook County. The tax, paid by visitors who stay overnight at various lodging facilities, is collected by the lodging owners and managers each quarter, then sent to the county. Unlike most taxes, the TLT is not paid by Tillamook County residents, but rather by tourists. However, it does benefit the county, as 30 percent of the tax collected will be used to repair county roads. Under state law, 70 percent must be devoted to tourism.

When launching the county-wide tourism effort in early 2014, leaders in Tillamook County looked to tourism experts and organizations for guidance and models. Todd Davidson, CEO of Travel Oregon, offered invaluable advice, as did the Oregon Restaurant and Lodging Association, Total Destination Marketing, HPR Marketing and several others. These advisors shared decades of knowledge and experience with us, and along with a dedicated group of community volunteers, we forged ahead to form our exciting new venture.

Three people were asked to lead the process: Connie Green, president of Tillamook Bay Community College; Patrick Criteser, CEO of Tillamook County Creamery Association; and Doug Olson, Economic Development Council (EDC) Chair and owner of Inn at Pacific City. Two of the three leaders are involved in the tourism industry — as most know Tillamook Cheese Factory is in the top three visitor destinations in Oregon, hosting more than 1 million visitors a year. Later, County Commissioner Mark Labhart joined the leadership team.

THE 11TH ANNUAL Pacific City Birding & Blues Festival, set for May 1-3, features three days of field trips, nature seminars and two blues concerts.

TOURISM REPRESENTATION ON ADVISORY COMMITTEE Before forming our own tourism committee, we looked at other county-wide tourism organizations in Oregon to find out the industry make-up of their boards and councils. For instance, Washington County Visitor Association’s 15-member board of directors includes non-tourism business representatives from the chambers of commerce, a mayors’ representative, citizens at large and other-industry business consultants, as well as six representatives from tourism.

In Clackamas County, the nine-member tourism development council has three lodging representatives, two guide services, and the rest are community members from varying industries; five of the nine are from the tourism industry.

And in Lane County, which has a 29-member board of directors and nine ex-officio members, representatives come from a wide range of backgrounds, including hotels and restaurants, moving and storage company, university, chambers, economic development, marketing agencies, and much more.

In Tillamook County, we formed a Tourism Advisory Committee (TAC), which makes recommendations to the board of the Economic Development Council, which in turn recommends initiatives to the Board of Commissioners. Of the nine TAC members, five are from the tourism industry. The committee also includes a retired banker, community marketing professional, mayors’ representative, and an expert in Oregon’s open meetings laws. And all of the members represent the county geographically — north, central and south. TAC’s role is to make recommendations to the EDC, which governs the tourism organization budget.

OPEN MEETINGS AND TRANSPARENCY We knew there would be keen interest in the tourism program, so we made open meetings and transparency a priority, even where it was not required by law. For instance, TAC meetings are advisory based, but yet we decided to follow open

meetings protocols. That’s why all TAC meetings are open to the public, meeting minutes are recorded and published, and the public is given time to make statements.

In addition, there are six levels of financial transparency.

First, the tourism organization makes recommendations for the budget and tracks expenditures. Second, the EDC must review and agree on the budget before the third step, which is presenting to the Board of Commissioners for review and approval.

As a fourth level of transparency, all expenditures are tracked and approved by the accountant/controller at Tillamook Bay Community College, and monitored according to a submitted budget. The EDC/TLT account is held at Wells Fargo Bank in Tillamook, and statements are verified by the controller, the tourism organization, and by the EDC accountant, which is the fifth level of transparency. Finally, an independent auditor conducts an audit of EDC and TLT accounts, which is the sixth level of transparency.

In addition, the TLT funds are collected by the Tillamook County Community Development office. TLT Funds are not released to the TLT bank account at Wells Fargo Bank until IGA reporting conditions are met.

GRANTS The three-year intergovernmental agreement {IGA) between the county and the EDC was set up to launch the tourism organization. According to the IGA, a minimum and maximum percentage of the 70% TLT marketing and promotions fund must be set aside for community grants.

A first phase of the tourism-facilities grant offers $450,000 in funds. Eligible organizations include any city, county or other local government, including a port, special district, or intergovernmental agency. Each such eligible applicant may also submit an application on behalf of any nongovernmental agency (NGO). This is a new endeavor; no other destination marketing organization in Oregon is offering this type of grant. Subsequent grant amounts will be determined during budgetary meetings for the new fiscal year. A second type of grant that will be offered is for marketing and promotions, and is being modeled on those offered by Travel Oregon, Lincoln City and Washington County tourism organizations. The marketing and promotions grants are currently in development and will be offered later in 2015 after review and approval by the TAC, EDC and Board of Commissioners.

The reason grants are being offered is so that tourism capacity and visitor experience can be enhanced not just in peak summer months, but year-round. Grant criteria and ranking give priority to those organizations with projects that focus on fall, winter and spring tourism development.

THE FUTURE OF OUR TOURISM EFFORT A new tourism director and marketing assistant are on board, and we have a website and online presence that has already surpassed our year-end marketing goals. Many publications have featured articles on the wealth of our nature-based activities. We will be concentrating on building shoulder and off season tourism, and sharing the stories of Tillamook County in ways that will encourage visitors to stay the night and come back again.

The future looks bright for the economic development of tourism in Tillamook County — development that is respectful of our people and place.

TIA critical over management of Transient Lodging Tax funds From the perspective of the Tourism Industries Association, the entire process of managing the Transient Lodging Tax funds has been grossly mismanaged by the Tillamook County Board of Commissioners, and urges tourism industry business owners to beware and be aware.

“The reasonable expectation that tourism industry professionals be included in a meaningful way to oversee TLT funds has simply not occurred,” points out TIA President Marcus Hinz.

“It was explained to Commissioner Labhart last year that forming the Tourism Advisory Committee moving into summer, when tourism business owners had the least opportunity of participating, was a big mistake. Now Labhart and the other County Commissioners have abruptly pushed for the release of two rounds of TLT grant funds over this

coming summer. Bad move, bad form.”

Hinz states.

“Despite two separate votes by the Tourism Advisory Committee to hold off until September, something in the background is pushing this grant process to happen sooner,” explains Tom Flood, TIA board member and coowner of The Schooner Restaurant and Lounge.

According to TIA, options exist for the County to oversee Transient Lodging Tax funds. A Tourism Commission structure could be adopted, similar to what the cities of Rockaway and Garibaldi have created, a separate 501(c)6 could be created to manage the monies, or a county-wide structure could be adopted similar to what Lane County or Washington County have in place.

“There is very little to figure out here when it comes to managing these

Page 4 • Pacific City SUN • April 17, 2015

funds, so why are we attempting to reinvent the wheel?” questions Hinz. “This might be new to Tillamook County but it’s not new to the rest of the world.”

Washington County’s lodging taxes are stewarded by the Washington County Visitor’s Association, and Lane County’s are stewarded by Eugene, Cascades and Coast. Each have strong majority representation from the tourism industry. “While the limited geography of smaller cities sometimes make it difficult to secure tourism industry representation, there is no excuse for the lack of representation in a county-wide collection of TLT funds,” offers Flood.

TIA urges tourism business owners to become vigilant in protecting and advocating for their industry.

NEWS&COMMUNITY Public shares ideas for skateboard park A Nestucca Valley Community Alliance public meeting that addressed the wants and concerns for a planned skateboarding park near Cape Kiwanda yielded several suggestions ranging from the inclusion of bowls to skateable art.

Other design elements requested by participants at the April 4 meeting included a snake run, a wave — or something surf-like, a spine, no rails, a brick bank similar to the one at a Eugene skatepark, pump bumps, a mini mega ramp, walls, rain water collection, rounded features and natural elements like rock coping and trees. Some participants also requested the design pay homage to the dory fishing tradition in some way, as well as a tribute to Cape Kiwanda.

The feedback was elicited via a form in which Dreamland Skateparks, which NVCA has enlisted for design, asked attendees to list their “Top 10” ideas for the skateboarding park. The skatepark will be part of a 2.4-acre community park NVCA is developing thanks to a low-cost lease of a portion of Tillamook Lightwave’s cable landing station loca-

tion just east of Cape Kiwanda.

Other concerns discussed at the meeting included the minimization of noise, the inclusion of garbage and restroom facilities, and making sure the skatepark flows with the rest of the park.

Dreamland officials said the park will be located near the parking lot and will be a multi-use park designed for skateboards, bikes and scooters. The skatepark is expected to be between 6,000 and 8,000 square feet.

“We would like to put the skatepark close to the parking lot for (the sake of) visiblity,” Dreamland Skateparks representative Danyel Scott told attendees of the workshop. “Our goal is to make the whole park flow as one.”

The NVCA will hold one final public input session on May 24, starting at 2 p.m. at the site. Preliminary park plans are expected to be ready sometime between September and October.

For more information about the upcoming skate park workshop, visit www.nestucca.org. To learn more about Dreamland, visit www.dreamlandskateparks.com.

he Pacific City-Woods Citizens Advisory Committee voted on April 11 to recommend against approval of a shaved ice mobile food cart on Cape Kiwanda Drive.

Following a 9-4 vote to recommend against approval, the committee sent a letter to the Tillamook County Department of Community Development noting their opposition.

In the letter of non support, the CAC noted that the Pacific City-Woods Community Plan, which is “part and parcel” of the Tillamook County Comprehensive Plan, lists preserving “a quiet, uncongested environment” as a priority. The CAC said that “The area in which the subject property is located is already highly congested particularly during peak tourist times when the mobile food cart would be in operation. The addition of another ingress and egress from Cape Kiwanda

Drive will contribute further to problems that currently exist.”

The CAC letter of opposition to the food cart also noted that the Community Plan specifies that “The people of Pacific City do not want to see a ‘strip type’ commercial density connecting (the three commercial clusters of Pacific City.”

Further, the letter noted that those in the majority “believe that the granting of this conditional use request would be a step toward that undesirable situation...a ‘hole in the dike’ that would open the door to more commercial uses of residential properties.”

A minority, penned by CAC Chair Sean Carlton, was also forwarded. In the dissenting opinion, Carlton said that he believed the applicants have met the conditional use criteria.

“I worry that we are approaching this situation backwards,” he wrote. “If there is a problem in our community that is not properly addressed by planning (and I believe there is), then I believe the proper

course of action is to change the underlying Land Use regulations to accurately reflect the needs and desires of the community, or at the very least create a plan for effective management of the problem...I believe that one of the purposes of a Land use Ordinance is to lay out regulations, policies, and procedures so that everyone has a clear understanding of what is allowed and isn’t, and so that everyone can be on the same page. Citizens should have a reasonable expectation of being allowed to use their property in accordance with clearly outlined criteria and should not be penalized for poor planning and execution.”

The next meeting of the Pacific CityWoods CAC is Saturday, April 18, 10:30 a.m., at Pacific Coast Bible Church, 35220 Brooten Road, Pacific City. Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority manager Tony Owen will be the guest speaker and plans to give an update of PCJWSA’s sewer upgrade proposal.

ODFW to raffle off chances for big game hunts

Struggling With Cancer?

You Don’t Have To Do It Alone!

Facing Fate with Faith, a Bible devotional written by two sisters who have each endured four cancer battles, shares their incredible journey of how God has strengthened them in their fight against this dreadful disease.

When you feel like there is nowhere to turn and you

Some people spend thousands of dollars at auctions for the chance to hunt a trophy animal anywhere they want in Oregon. But it could cost you less than five bucks.

Raffle tickets for one of 12 Oregon special big game hunts are on sale online, at license agents or by mail/fax (pdf) order through May 4.They can also be purchased at the State OHA Convention on May 16 at the Chinook Winds Casino in Lincoln City between 4:30 p.m.-7 p.m.

(Raffle winners are drawn at 7:45 p.m.)

Winners get to hunt the animal of their choice during a two- or threemonth long season over a large area or even statewide — for less than the cost of a controlled hunt application fee, and with better odds than some controlled trophy hunts.

Several state records have been set on raffle tags. Last year, Ray Wurdinger set the new state archery record when he took a bighorn sheep measuring 185 2/8” in the Lookout Mountain unit on

as gifts. Raffle tags are also an additional hunt opportunity for anyone that wins, meaning winners can still hunt on a tag drawn in the controlled process or a general season tag.

Each ticket must be filled out (online or at a license sales agent during the sale, or by hand) to indicate the tag recipient.

Tickets not completed during the sales process must be received no later than 5 p.m. Thursday, May 14 at ODFW Raffles, PO Box 3307, Salem, OR 97302. Completed tickets can also be hand-delivered to the OHA Convention (Chinook Winds Casino, Lincoln City) between 4:30-7:30 p.m. on May 16.

The Statewide Deer and Elk Combination Tags will be auctioned May 16.

Proceeds from the sale of auction tags and raffle tickets benefit hunting access, habitat improvement and big game research projects in Oregon.

Visit OregonRaffleHunts.com for more information or see pages 15-17 of the 2015 Oregon Big Game Regulations.

Fish & Wildlife’s new approach to fish passage mitigation The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) has announced the details of a new pilot project that will allow ODFW to steer fish passage mitigation resources from individual impact sites, such as culverts, to fish passage mitigation banks — locations where high-priority barriers are removed and benefits to native migratory fish are maximized.

The public will have until April 28 to comment on a Fish Passage Mitigation Banking Pilot Project to be implemented on the North Coast.

The Mitigation Banking Project is part of the three-year agreement between ODFW and the Oregon Depart-

ment of Transportation. ODFW and ODOT developed the fish passage mitigation pilot project as a way to address high-priority passage projects and to make cost effective repairs to the state’s highway infrastructure. The agreement was signed by the two state agencies in December of 2012.

The goal is to develop an effective mitigation process that provides a net benefit to native migratory fish, makes the waiver process more transparent and defensible, and directs ODOT resources to maximize benefits to native migratory fish.

According to Dave Stewart, ODFW’s

ODOT liaison, the concept of mitigation banking will be tested on North Coast rivers and streams, and the results there will be used to determine the statewide potential of a mitigation banking program.

A description of the Fish Passage Mitigation Banking Pilot Project and related documents can be found on the ODFW web site. ODFW will be accepting public comments on this Fish Passage Mitigation Banking Pilot Project until April 28. Comments can be addressed to Dave Stewart, ODFW, 4034 Fairview Industrial Drive SE Salem, OR 97302 or emailed to dave.stewart@state.or.us.

Raffle tickets start at just $4.50 for a deer hunt, $6.50 for elk, or $11.50 for a combination deer/elk, bighorn sheep, pronghorn or Rocky Mountain goat ticket. Save on the per-ticket cost by purchasing multiple ticket packages (for example, 100 deer tickets for $101.50).

ODFW will raffle off the following 12 hunts at the Oregon Hunters Association State Convention on Saturday, May 16 at the Chinook Winds Casino in Lincoln City: Governor’s Statewide Deer/ Elk Combo, Statewide Deer, Southeast Oregon Deer, Central Oregon Deer, Northeast Oregon Deer, Statewide Elk, Northeast Oregon Elk, Central/Southeast Elk, Western Oregon Elk, Rocky Mtn Goat, Pronghorn Antelope and Bighorn Sheep.

Raffle ticket buyers do not need to be present at the OHA Convention to win.

He said that the shortboard presents its own set of challenges and rewards.

“It’s more high performance than the longboard,” he said. “(Surfers can do) faster and quicker maneuvers.”

Mollencop added that he sees the contest as an ideal occasion to bring attention to both his surf shop and to the skatepark.

“It helps us bring awareness to the surf shop and what we like to do here,” he said. “We’ve got some great awards and prize packs that our vendors have given to us to hand out.”

xperienced surfers will showcase their skills with the shortboard on Sunday, April 19 when the Moment of Madness Surf Competition pits an expected 36 surfers against each other and the breakers off Cape Kiwanda.

The action will begin at 8 a.m. when surfers take to the waves for 15-minutes heats. With just one division, the event is targeted at more advanced surfers. Competition in the quarterfinals through the finals will feature 20-minute heats. The top competitor will win a surf board and the top six an award.

Though registration was full at press time, the event is more than just a competition. It also provides an attraction to those visiting Cape Kiwanda. Onlookers can expect to see surfers exhibit a variety of tricks and maneuvers during the allday contest.

Organized by Moment Surf Co. (503-483-1025), the event will double as a fundraiser for the Pacific City Skatepark, which is being developed by the Nestucca Valley Community Alliance. To date, prior Moment Surf Co. surf contests, including the Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic, have generated an estimated $25,000 for the skatepark.

“It’s an opportunity to give those surfers that are pretty proficient a chance to compete,” said Jeff Mollencop, of Moment Surf Co. “It’s just a fun opportunity to get some of the best surfers of this area of the coast together and compete and yet have fun.”

THE NESTUCCA HIGH SCHOOL BAND, directed by Kathleen Serven, won the Northwest League championship during the first-ever NW League Band Festival, held Friday April 10 at Nestucca’s gymnasium. Along with the victory, Nestucca earned an automatic qualification to the state tournament, which will be held May 15 at Oregon State University.

Nestucca wins District Band Tournament

he home team took top honors when Nestucca Jr.-Sr. High School hosted the first-ever NW League Band Festival, Friday, April 10 at the school gym.

The all-day affair saw the school’s band score tops amongst eight other schools during this first league band festival for Nestucca since the OSAA leagues were re-configured in 2006.

In addition to winning the NW League championship, Nestucca’s scores earned them an automatic qualification to the state tournament.

“What this means for us is that we are the first band in Nestucca history to go to state,” exclaimed band director Kathleen Serven.

Nestucca will compete in the state tournament on May 15 at Oregon State University.

Of the nine schools participating, three others — Amity, Dayton and Jew-

ell — received state qualifying scores and can send their recordings to the state pool. Other schools competing in the event included Vernonia, NeahKah-Nie, Sheridan, Taft, and Salem Academy.

The new event owes it impetus to Serven, who offered to host it during last year’s District III OMEA meeting.

Serven said she plans to host the festival again next year.

“It ran very well and is a muchneeded event,” she said.

Serven said she was particularly proud of the band’s improvement.

“Last year our band went to a district festival at St. Helens, and our scores were mediocre as my students had some nerve issues and couldn’t hear each on the stage,” she said. “We analyzed that performance, determined what we needed to do to turn it around, and they were determined to do much better this year. I’m pretty happy with the results of our focus and hard work!”

A USFWS supervisory fish biologist at the Population and Habitat Group Columbia River Fisheries Program office in Vancouver, Washington, Jolley has been the lead Pacific lamprey technical person in the USFWS Vancouver office for six years. He holds a PhD in fisheries from South Dakota State University, a master’s degree in fisheries from Auburn University and a bachelor of science in zoology form North Dakota State University. A native Minnesotan, his first fisheries job was with the Sea Lamprey Control Program in Michigan. Jolley has also worked in fisheries in Washington, North Carolina,

Prior to the start of the presentation, the Council will hold a 5:30 p.m. meeting for announcements and watershed updates. Appetizers will be provided by the Hebo Stewardship Group.

According to USFWS, lampreys belong to a “primitive group of fishes that are eel-like in form but lack the jaws and paired fins of true fishes.” Instead, they have “a round sucker-like mouth, no scales, and breathing holes instead of gills.”

USFWS also notes that Pacific lampreys are parasitic and feed on a variety of fish, including Pacific salmon, flatfish, rockfish and pollock, and are preyed upon by sharts, sea lions and other marine animals. They have been caught in depths ranging from 300 to 2,600 feet and as far off the west coast as 62 miles in the ocean.

Lampreys are widely distributed and have been found in streams from Hokkaido Island, Japan, and around the Pacific Rim including Alaska, Canada, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and California to Punta Canoas, Baja California, Mexico. They are thought to be distributed wherever salmon and steelhead have occurred.

2:45 p.m., at Kiawanda Community Center, will star Susan Haig, who will discuss the probable causes of regional extinction of the California Condor, as well as highlighting current efforts to bring North America’s largest avian scavenger back to the Pacific Northwest.

Working together with Jesse D’Elia, Haig has investigated the paleontological and observational record as well as the cultural relationships between Native American tribes and condors, a project that resulted in the most complete assessment to date of the condor’s occurrence in the Pacific Northwest for their book titled “California Condors in the Pacific Northwest,” which was published in 2013.

“We are absolutely sure they were very integral for the ecosystem in the Northwest up until the early 1920s,” she said.

Noting a current tribal effort to reintroduce the birds at the Oregon-California border, she says now is the time to educate the public about the coming release, as well as the challenges the birds will face.

“I hope (festival attendees will) appreciate how incredibly complex they are and how incredible it would be to have them back in the Northwest,” Haig says.

BIRDING FIELD TRIPS There’ll also be plenty of opportunity to get out in the field and put birds in your sights, starting with the Three Capes Tour on Friday, May 1, which will, for an additional charge ($40),take birders from Pacific City to the Cape Meares National Wildlife Refuge, a 60-mile round trip during which birders can expect to see more than 50 species — including waterfowl, loons, grebes and raptors.

Trips included in the festival pass include excursions to Clay Myers State Natural Area at Whalen Island, Neskowin Marsh, and a variety of trips to the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge, including a Wetlands Restoration Walk and hikes led by professional birders.

In addition, there will be two trips to the Refuge’s recently acquired but not yet opened to the public Two River Peninsula, where almost three miles of trails await. After starting at the Pacific View Trailhead, the field trip will take hikers through a mixed forest of Sitka Spruce, Western Hemlock, Red Alder and Big-Leaf Maples. The area is home to numerous migratory songbirds, including Pacific Wren, Pacific-slope Flycatcher, Blackheaded Grosbeak, Red Crossbill and Orange-crowned Warbler. Resident raptors can also be found on the premises.

Another festival highlight is kayaking tours of the Nestucca River and Estuary. The 4.5-mile tours, for which participants must register directly with Nestucca Adventures (503-965-0060), will embark at 8 a.m. on May 2 and 3. And for elementary-age students, Mark and Kim Cavatorta of the Community Arts Project will engage kids 8-18 with a fun bird-related art project.

The free event is open to the first 12 students to register.

All presentations will be held at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City. Field trips will also meet at the center. For more information or to register, visit www.birdingandblues.org. Advance registration ends April 24. For those registering later, starting Friday, May 1 at 1 p.m., attendees can register at the Center.

Blasting Out the Blues T-Bones, Fabulous Roof Shakers to set the tone during two nights of music at the Birding & Blues Festival

D

ancing, music and revelry will punctuate the fun at the 2015 Pacific City Birding and Blues Festival with two evening blues concerts, May 1 and 2 at Kiawanda Community Center.

Hitting the stage on Friday, May 1 will be the T-Bones, a longstanding group that has toured the Pacific Northwest for many years. The following night, Saturday, May 2, the Fabulous Roof Shakers will be the featured act.

Both concerts start at 8 p.m. Admission is $15. Specially-priced festival passes that include concert admission are also available.

Based out of Southwest Washington, the T-Bones play a mix of blues standards, original and old rock ‘n roll and feature the talents of Jammie Lile (bass and vocals), Lynn King (drums) and Lynn Axtell (guitar, blues harp and vocals). The group, which has been together for 25 years, hail their act as one that puts an emphasis on dancing and having a good time.

Axtell says the group loves to make a connection with the audience.

“We hope audiences take away a good time,” he says. “We’re playing with you, not at you...and hopefully, the audience is as tired as we are at the end of the night.”

A five-piece band featuring rhythm and blues players from Detroit, Los Angeles, Queens-New York, Seattle and San Francisco, the Fabulous Roof Shakers are veterans of many large festivals including The Bite of Seattle, The Pike Place Market Centennial Celebration, North Bend Summer Concert Series, and the Des Moines Blues and Brews

Festival.

Playing danceable music ranging from New Orleans blues to Chicago blues, from R & B to Texas shuffle, the group has played together since 2005 and features bass player/vocalist Bruce Koenigsberg, drummer Conrad Ormsby, vocalist/harmonica player Joe Blue, saxophonist/vocalist Gordon Benson and guitarist Paul Sommer.

Born in Detroit, Koenigsberg is one of Seattle’s premier blues bass players and is a founding member of the group.

Prior to forming FRS, he was co-founder of The JamDogs. Hailing from East Los Angeles, Ormsby began playing drums at age 11 and played at the Monteray Jazz Festival while still a teenager. Since moving to Seattle, he has played with many in the local blues scene including Tim Sherman, Paul Green and Cold Shot, and the Led Jackson Band, amongst others. Front man Joe Blue is a former Capitol Records recording artist and has performed with such blues greats as John Lee Hooker, Marsha Ball, Steve Bassett, Roomful of Blues and Ronnie Earl. The only band member born and raised in the Northwest, Gordon Benson has played in various Northwest bands including Back Room, Mad Hatter and Blue Field. Paul Sommer studied music and recording in San Francisco and managed Gelb Music in Redwood City. He has played with the Blue Mountain, as well as the Gary Smith Blues Band. He also later performed with the Hayden Project, playing regularly at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco.

Binge Drinking: 5+ drinks on one occasion for males; 4+ drinks for females Heavy Drinking: 2+ drinks per day for males; 1+ drink per day for females Underage Drinking: any use of alcohol by youth who are under age 21

Alcohol:

Alcohol is a depressant that effects every part of your body. In Tillamook, alcohol is considered a rite of passage and a way of life.

Unfortunately, this way of thinking leads to alcohol being the number one drug of choice for young adults

aged 18-20, and leads to abuse and overuse by 21-25 year olds throughout the county.

THE RISKS You may hear that alcohol will loosen you up and help you relax.

This is true when used moderately.

What you may not hear is that alcohol can also damage the part of your brain that controls coordination, memory, judgment and decision-making. You may slur your words and lose coordination, and your reactions will become slower. If you drink a lot and drink fast (binge drinking) you really put yourself in danger. With binge drinking, the depressant (or

numbing) effects of alcohol can overwhelm the body’s defenses.

Unable to move and think clearly, you can do risky and reckless things that are unsafe, or even lethal. Each year, approximately 5,000 people under the age of 21 die as a result of underage drinking.

This includes about 1,900 deaths from car accidents, 1,600 homicides, 300 suicides, and hundreds of other deaths due to accidents like falls, burns and drownings.

LONG-TERM EFFECTS As alcohol travels through your bloodstream it has the potential to damage your brain, stomach, liver, kidneys and muscles. As a young adult, your body is in the final stages of development, so damage done now can affect the rest of your life. Over time, heavy drinking may destroy your overall health, as well as effect family members and friends.

THE BOTTOM LINE Yes, it’s legal for people 21 and older to drink alcohol. Be smart, drink responsibly and know your limit. Have a plan before you go out for a drink to keep yourself and others safe.

No, it is not legal for people under 21 to drink alcohol. Keep our community of young adults safe by enforcing the law. By working together, we can make a difference in the lives of young adults throughout Tillamook County.

EVENTS&ACTIVITIES Jortner to fete release of first book of poetry

J

ulius Jortner of Pacific City will celebrate the release of “Just As,” his first book of poetry at the Thomas Goodwin Gallery, 34395 Highway 101 South, Cloverdale, on Sunday, April 26, 3-5 p.m. The event will Photo courtesy of Julius Jortner feature Jortner reading JULIUS JORTNER to select portions from his sign copies of “Just new book starting at As,” his first book of 3:30 p.m., as well as live poetry, on April 26. music. Refreshments will also be served during the book signing event.

According to the author, Jortner’s poems express, intimately and honestly, his perspectives on subjects as varied as aging and death, love and sex, being a widower, moods and dreams, peoplewatching, philosophy of life, the act of writing, and his dog. Of the 118 poems in this book, the majority occupy one page or less, some are as brief as haiku, and some develop over several pages. Jortner notes that the phrasing tends to be unpretentious, usually straightforward without being trivial, making the poems readily accessible while offering some piquant seasonings of ambiguity to allow the reader his or her own explorations.

Though “Just As” will be available for purchase at the book signing, Jortner will also sign copies brought in and purchased elsewhere. The collection of poems is available at the Rowboat Gallery and Haystack Coffee in Pacific City, at Cloud and Leaf Books in Manzanita, and coming soon to other outlets. The book also is available now at Amazon.com, as well as directly from the author at jortnerj@gmail.com.

THE CLASSIC TALE of the “Wizard of Oz” will be reprised by Nestucca students during three performances, April 29, May 1 and 2, on the school’s Nelson-Pimental Performing Arts Stage. General admission is $5.

Off to See the Wizard Nestucca students to present ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ April 29, and May 1-2

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

T

he classic tale of fantasy and the fight between good and evil will be center stage on April 29, May 1 and 2 when the students of Nestucca Valley School District reenact “The Wizard of Oz” during a three-day run of the school’s annual spring musical.

Beloved by generations, “The Wizard of Oz” is L. Frank Baum’s tale of Dorothy Gale, whose dreams of what lies over the rainbow take an unexpected turn when a tornado lifts her home away to Munchkinland.

It’s a story of her battle against the Wicked Witch of the West and her journey to see the Wizard, who she hopes will return her back to her Kansas home. On the way, she befriends the Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion and Tin Woodman, all of which are also seeking something from the Wizard. The Scarecrow thinks he needs a brain, the Lion is searching for courage, and the Tin Man yearns for a heart. But to get to the home of the Wizard in Emerald City, they all must endure battles with the Wicked Witch.

Play director Kelli McMellon, who has directed or assisted on 12 Nestucca musicals, says “The Wizard of Oz” is a show that everyone knows and loves, not to mention one they can all sing along to. She also hailed the Baum’s fantasy world as one that has appeal to many.

“It’s the idea that you can go somewhere else and learn something about yourself,” she said. “It’s the adventures that they have. It’s the Wicked Witch.

There’s just so many things (in the musical) that come together. We’ve all been frightened by the Wicked

Witch.”

Though the majority of the play is true to the time-tested Royal Shakespeare Co. rendition, McMellon is excited about a few twists she is throwing in.

“We’ve got some dancing poppies (and) some dancing snowflakes,” she said. “I think that’s new and different. It’s going to be a lot of fun.”

That sense of fun is also coming from the cast, which includes Morgan Kirkpatrick (Dorothy), Cody Kirkendall (Scarecrow), Riley Peterson (Tin Woodsman), Chelsea Wallace (Lion) and Isaak Welch (Wizard), as well as a group of elementary school students, who will play the part of the munchkins.

“I really like the idea of including the younger students,” says McMellon. “One of the purposes has always been to expose kids to theater to let them play with it and experiment with it — and the younger we can get them doing that the better.”

The 53rd annual Nestucca spring musical will debut on Wednesday, April 29 with an 11 a.m. matinee. Evening performances will be at 7 p.m. on Friday, May 1 and Saturday, May 2. General admission is $5 for all three performances. There is also an optional luncheon ($4) at 10:15 for the Wednesday matinee.

Reserved seating for the Friday and Saturday shows is $10 for adults, $8 for senior citizens and students, and $25 for families of four or more. Families of three or more can also purchase general admission tickets for $15. For luncheon or reserved seating reservations call Nestucca Valley Elementary School at 503-392-3435, extension 305. Nestucca’s production of “The Wizard of Oz” is presented with permission from the TamsWitmark Music Library, Inc.

THE NESTUCCA BOBCATS scored their first win of the season on April 15 when they played the Neah-Kah-Nie Pirates, winning 15-13. Above, the ‘Cats were off and running against Delphian on April 16 (final score not available at press time).

Nestucca records first victory

By GRETCHEN AMMERMAN for the Sun

T

he Nestucca Bobcats nabbed their first victory of the season with a score of 15-13 against Neah-Kah-Nie on Wednesday, April 15, in a double-header that ended up as a triple-header. The end of the second part of the double header on Friday, April 10, was called for darkness at the end of the fifth inning, so the boys picked up the game to make the narrow victory. Although in the end it was a win, the solid lead the team had leading to the split apart game had Coach Jim Kiser a bit frustrated.

“We were up 11-3 when the game was called,” he said. “Once we resumed we lost a lot of ground and only won by two points. We tried our hardest to make it a bad evening, but managed to pull it off anyway.”

The win comes after a slow but steady improve-

ment in the young team’s run scores as they get more experience on the field, closing the gap between them and their opponents. In a double header against Vernonia on Saturday, April 4, the ‘Cats lost 1-6 in the first game and 7-16 in the second. On Tuesday, April 7, they played against Neah-Kah-Nie and lost 3-7, and then lost again to the same team on Friday, April 10, by only 3 runs, finishing 11-14.

“The more baseball they play, the better they’re going to get,” said Kiser. “They just haven’t played very much. I’m pretty happy with how Noah Geil’s been pitching, and I’ve got a couple freshmen pitching that I’m starting to be able to rely on, too.”

The team next travels to Delphian on Friday, April 17, for a double header, then goes to bat against Knappa on Tuesday, April 21, on their home field. They re-meet Knappa for a double-header away game on Friday, April 24.

Bobcats scoring well in track & field

By GRETCHEN AMMERMAN for the Sun Nestucca continues to have a strong presence in track & field, with team members bringing home medals from every meet that they compete in.

At the Tillamook Invitational on Saturday, April 4, on the boy’s team Wyatt McKillip took first in the 110-meter hurdles, Drace Moeller was first in shotput, second in discus, and first in Javelin, Ryan Leslie was second in pole vault, and Brett Elder was second in shotput, first in discus, and second in javelin. On the girl’s team, Kycie Richwine took first in the 100-meter hurdles and second in the 300-meter hurdles.

At the WVL at Willamina on Thursday, April 9, Raymond Jackson–Cruz was second in 800-meter run, Wyatt McKillip was first in 100-meter hurdles and 300-meter hurdles, Drace Moeller was first in shotput and second in javelin, and Brett Elder was

second in shotput, and first in discus and javelin.

At this meet it was the girl’s team that took home the most hardware: Monica Chatelain was second in the 800-meter run, second in the discus and first in the javelin, Courtney Ahn was first in the 1,500-meter run, Rebekah Whittles was second in the 1,500-meter run, Payton Hopkins was first in the 3,000-meter run, and Kycie Richwine was first in the 100-meter hurdles, the 300-meter hurdles and the pole vault.

At the Meet of Champions at Willamette University in Turner on Saturday, April 11, there were fewer wins as the field they competed in included 12 schools, but they still managed to garner some podium time. Drace Moeller was first in shotput and Brett Elder was second in discus. Next up for the team are the Oregon Relays Day 2, on Saturday, April 18, WVL at Taft on Thursday, April 23, Portland Christian Invitational on Saturday, April 25, and the NWL Meet on Thursday, April 30.
