Honorary Rosarians are people who do not live in Portland and who have worked to promote their hometowns and the state of Oregon. Tillamook County boasts sev-

eral dozen honorary Rosarians. e latest honoree was Linda Kay Marshall in 2010. Marshall was inducted in a knighting ceremony in Portland for her work as the coordinator of the June Dairy Parade and Festival.

Borba is a retired dairy farmer, woodsman, and sawmill worker — often working several of these jobs at the same time. His sunny personality means he “never knew a stranger. Everyone that knows him can always count on a good story or a joke or two,” said his daughter, Debbie Newstrom.

“I just sat in my chair with tears coming down my cheeks,” said Newstrom when she heard the news that her father had been chosen as the parade’s grand marshall. “It was such an honor that they would even choose him.”

Borba has been retired from the dairy industry since 1978, but his passion for farming and the people of Tillamook County has never

ceased. Borba was on the board of directors for the Beaver Creamery, in the time before the Tillamook Cheese factories consolidated into one site and many small creameries dotted the landscape. ere is no better life than living on a dairy farm, Borba said. And living on a farm in Tillamook County means the outdoors—hunting, fishing, gardening and hiking—are right at your fingertips.

Borba and his deceased wife, Helen, were married in 1949. ey have four children: Lauren, Diane, Debora and Delores.

Borba’s entire life has been

about commitment to Tillamook County. His parents, John and Rose Borba, came to south Tillamook County in 1902, where they homesteaded a farm that is still in the Borba family.

Borba’s first memory of farm life was bringing in firewood and kindling. He “always had chores and the older you got, the more responsibilities you had.” At first, the family’s farm had no electricity, but that changed in 1940, when Borba was 12.

In 1945, Borba earned his State Farmer Degree through the Oregon FFA

Association. The following year, he attended the National Future Farmers of America Convention in Kansas City, Mo. Borba married his wife, Helen in 1949. The couple purchased a farm on Blaine Road, milked 38 cows and their very first paycheck was $72. Together, they worked with area youth through the Boy Scouts, attended Grange meetings and worked for the betterment of their community.

Borba was named Tillamook County’s Pioneer of the Year in 2003.

His service to the Grange has spanned 68 years.

He is a past Beaver volunteer firefighter, has worked with the Soil and Water Conservation District more than 30 years, has been on the Tillamook Educational Service District and the Tillamook County Planning Commission, is a lifetime member of the International Order of Odd Fellows, was the president of the Tillamook County Pioneer Association 12 years and works in many other volunteer capacities.

When asked what his greatest life achievement is, Borba is quick to respond, “Raising a faithful family.

The kids are there whenever you need them.”

He is also grateful for “having a wonderful wife who helped raise a faithful family. To see them grow, have children of their own and come back to the family farm to visit,” is his greatest pleasure.

As far as the June Dairy Parade, Borba said he is looking forward to seeing old friends and neighbors and “especially has a soft spot for the organizations that help the young people of the community. He likes to see all the kids so happy to enjoy the parade.”

June Dairy Festival & Rodeo 2012

Hanson is Honorary Grand Marshall ife often comes full circle, as it has for Ray Hanson. Hanson was chosen as one of this year’s Honorary Grand Marshalls for the June Dairy Parade.

It’s a fitting choice, given Hanson has been to every June Dairy Parade, since 1982, he said, with the exception of 1986.

“I have a strong emotional attachment to the Dairy Parade because helping to put it on was how I started my festival career 32 years ago. I still get excited being in the parade,” he said.

Hanson now lives in West Linn, but “I'm very proud of my time in Tillamook,” he said. Those fond memories of Tillamook include meeting his wife, Lee Ann Gadilauskas.

Hanson is the Prime Minister of the Portland Royal Rosarians, the goodwill ambassadors for the City of Roses. When Hanson became the group’s prime minister nearly two years ago, it meant he holds the Rosarians' top position. His friends in the group call him Big Cheese because he has lived in Tillamook County.

Part of his job as prime minister calls for Hanson to travel to 10 town festivals and 13 local parades, including Tillamook County's June Dairy Parade.

In 1965, Hanson's family moved to Beaver, where his parents owned a small grocery store, he said. Although Hanson moved to California in 1967, he moved back to Tillamook in 1973 and started Garland

“It is a great feeling to be honored by the community and committee I was a part of for many years. I credit Tillamook County and the people of Tillamook County for everything I've become.”

- Ray Hanson Distributors, a soft-drink distributing business. During Halloween, he said, he would hand out bottles and, later, cans, of soda to children who trick-or-treated at his house at the corner of Third Street and Park Avenue, across from Wilson Elementary School.

“We used to have a lot of fun doing things like that,” Hanson said.

“It was all about giving back to the community and having fun.”

Hanson's interest in festivals began in Tillamook. He joined the Tillamook Festival Committee in 1981, serving as chairperson for the festival in 1982 and 1983.

In 1984, Hanson was knighted as an honorary Rosarian—an award given to those who work closely with the Rosarians, but are not residents of the Portland area.

Hanson became involved in the Tillamook festival committee because he enjoyed giving back to people and helping to create excitement

in town, he said.

In 1985, Hanson was named president of the Tillamook County Chamber of Commerce. That same year, he was a member of the first graduating class of Tillamook Bay Community College, with a certificate in small-business management.

Hanson's mother still lives in Beaver, he added, and he visits the area, although “not as often as I'd like.”

Hanson moved to Portland in 1987 and was asked to join the Royal Rosarians as a full-fledged member.

It's a couple's organization, meaning his wife has full rights, although she's not a member, Hanson said.

Because he's prime minister, Gadilauskas has the title of first lady.

“It is a great feeling to be honored by the community and committee I was a part of for many years. I credit Tillamook County and the people of Tillamook County for everything I've become,” Hanson said.

Bands provide musical melody T

he Tillamook County June Dairy Parade will be rolling down the streets of downtown Tillamook on Saturday, June 23.

But no parade is complete without the sound of music. This year’s lineup includes some old favorites.

The Power Pep Band of Portland “embodies the best of the great collegiate athletic band traditions.”

They say their performances are “unique, rock and roll experiences”

that are sure to please people of every age. Their musical line-up includes everything from crowd favorites, classic rock and patriotic to fight songs and even movie and television theme songs.

Also participating is the Ft. Vancouver Pipe Band from the city of Vancouver, Wash. e Pipe Band has made multiple appearances in the June Dairy Parade and is always a lively addition to the parade with their bagpipes.

We can’t forget our local favorites, the Dairyland Band. The Dairyland Band is made up of community members of all ages and occupations and is directed by John Coughlin. They regularly march in the June Dairy Parade and are always a welcome sound.

There are many other musical parade entries this year, including the always entertaining Al Kader Shriners and their Calliope and the “World Famous Oriental Band.”

Kaste served a year as the Tillamook Dairy Princess before winning the state crown this February.

Kaste and the Oregon Dairy Princess-Ambassador Court will ride on the Tillamook County Creamery Association float during this year’s parade.

Kaste said she can’t wait to see many familiar faces— and the radiant smiles from the children in the crowd.

dairy farms and the dairy industry since it’s a huge part of Tillamook’s economy and the way of life in our county,” she said.

Kaste is the daughter of Tillamook Dairy farmers Neal and Nancy Kaste, and spent her childhood milking cows, baling grass and working alongside her parents and older brothers. ese days, her job calls for more glamorous clothing than barn attire. e message she delivers to thousands of schoolchildren throughout Oregon is about dairy farming, farm families and the health benefits of consuming dairy products.

So far, she said, “My year has been fantastic! e majority of what I have been doing is classroom presentations and Farm to Market (educational gatherings). e

children that I get to talk to are always amazed when I tell them about cows. ey love it!”

Kaste grew up with the June Dairy Parade and was dazzled by the royalty she saw.

“I have always wanted to become a dairy princess. I used to see the princesses at the June Dairy Parade and the county fair when I was young and I loved the crown and the sash. As I grew older, I realized how valuable my experience was growing up on a farm and I wanted to inform people about dairy farming and our products.”

Kaste will spend most of her time as the dairy princess-ambassador speaking with school children about the health benefit of eating dairy products.

Kaste’s interests beyond

Calif. My family farmed there until 1995 when we move to Tillamook and have been here ever since.”

Martin said she loves working at her family farm. “I started off the farm with just feeding the baby calves, but as I grew older so did the range of my talents. Today there isn’t much that I can’t do on a dairy. I know the protocol for our calves from front to back.

I can work any machinery on the farm from the smallest tractor to our biggest load truck.”

Martin said she is really looking forward to the coming parade. “I look forward to everything! I love the parade and I am very excited to promote the dairy industry! I know this will sound cheesy but it is like a dream come true! I am really excited for the community to come out and celebrate June Dairy month. It is like a huge party to celebrate all the hardwork-

ing cows and farmers.”

For me, the parade also symbolizes the community getting together to celebrate not only the farmers, cows, and delicious dairy products, but also all the local businesses.

It is just a great day for everyone to get together go to the farmers market and enjoy an awesome parade.”

Martin said the best part of being a dairy princess-ambassador is educating the public

about her family’s livelihood.

“People want to know what the farmers are doing, how our animals are treated, and how we live our day to day lives. e more you can educate people about agriculture the better.

Letting people know how us farmers live our lives and how we love and care for our cattle and crops, how we are top notch when it comes to being environmentally safe, and how each time they open a gallon of milk they are the first person to have ever touched it! By educating people it helps them realize the hard work, dedication, and love put into all of those amazing products that we all consume.”

Martin will resume her studies at Linn Benton Community College again this fall. She said she enjoys classes there, but” the level of education I am learning here on the farm with it being hands on is un matched by any of the college classes I have taken.”

“I wanted to become Jersey princess because I wanted to help educate the public on Jerseys cows and the work that goes into the farms, but also, I have always wanted to be Jersey princess since I was little. Both of my sisters have been Jersey princesses and now it is my chance.”
