Reveling in the Refuge

Wildife Refuge hosts paddling trip, meadow hike

F

rom paddling the water to exploring the meadow, Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge is the place to engage in outdoor recreation, educate yourself about the refuge and learn about the many wonders just waiting to be discovered. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service-managed refuge is continuing their summer-long series of free family-friendly summer programs, now through September. Guided trips include history talks, plant walks, and other interesting wonders of the refuge.

Next up is a trip on the water on Thursday, Aug. 23. From 4-6:30 p.m. paddlers are invited to a guided evening paddle along the Little Nestucca River. The trip starts at the Tillamook County boat launch on Meda Loop and will paddle west along the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge — turning around at the Cannery Hill Point on the Bay. Refuge volunteer Lee Sliman will join the Tillamook Estuaries Partnership for this guided paddle and will talk about the natural history and mission of the Refuge. The paddle is billed as a great opportunity to get a sea level view of eagles, ducks, herons, kingfishers and other wildlife that are often present on this water trail. Paddlers will meet at the Meda Loop County Boat Ramp at 4 p.m.

Participants must supply their own boats, paddles and personal flotation devices.

If adventures on dry ground are more to your liking, consider exploring the grounds of the refuge on Monday, Aug. 27 when Sliman will lead a one-hour walk titled “The Making of a Meadow,” starting at 5:30 p.m. Though the grasslands may look withered now, they are on the brink of restoration as plant experts

have begun work to restore the area to native grassland and prairie habitat. During the walk, Sliman will showcase the first steps of this restoration and explain what visitors can expect to see in the future. The program will start at the second, or upper, parking lot.

September events include a “Color Walk” on Sept. 1 targeted at both kids and adults during which participants will make a color chart from crayons followed by a nature walk along the Pacific View Trail; Nature Journaling on Sunday, Sept. 9, starting at 5:30 p.m.; and “Art in the Refuge,” a Sept. 30 event that welcomes artists of all skill levels from 10:30 a.m.-6:30 p.m. All September events will meet at the lower parking lot.

Nestucca Bay NWR is located on the west side of Highway 101 approximately six miles south of Pacific City. To visit the refuge turn west off Highway 101 onto Christensen Road and proceed a half-mile to the first parking lot. The refuge has a volunteer living onsite to answer questions for visitors and to maintain the grounds.

For an up-to-date event schedule, visit the refuge’s website events page at http://www.fws.gov/oregoncoast/calendar/index.cfm, as changes can occur. For more information about each event, please contact Lee Sliman at 503-812-6392.

The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife, plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. For more information on their work and the people who make it happen, visit www.fws.gov.

Cloverdale’s Barbara Brown to share secrets of monkey puzzle trees during Aug. 20 program at Tillamook County Library

Tillamook only: 24-Hour Telephone Access to Medical Provider for Established Patients • Mental Health and Addiction Screening and Referral • Health Promotion & Maintenance Classes

arbara Brown, owner of Monkey Business 101 in Cloverdale, will share her knowledge and passion for monkey puzzle trees at the Tillamook County Library, main branch, on Monday, Aug. 20 at 6:30 p.m.

The national tree of Chile, monkey puzzle trees are rare evergreens with reptilian symmetrical branches. The leaves are stiff with sharp needles that cover the limbs like armor. Legend has it that even a monkey could get lost climbing one of these bizarre, unique and now endangered trees. Brown’s interest in monkey puzzle trees formed after reading about the Chilean forest fires of 2001 and 2002.

Monkey puzzle trees appear throughout Tilla-

South County Clinic

B

mook County. Many of the older monkey puzzle trees in the Portland area likely date from the 1905 Lewis & Clark Centennial Exposition. So long as they aren’t cut down, monkey puzzle trees can live more than 1,000 years.

Monkey Business 101 is a licensed nursery specializing in the growing of monkey-puzzle trees. Brown ships trees throughout the continental United States.

The program will be held in the Hatfield Room at the Tillamook County Library, 1716 Third Street, Tillamook. Tillamook County Library programs are free and open to the public. For additional information, contact the Tillamook County Library at 503-842-4792.

THE SECOND ANNUAL ROUTE 101 CRUISE-IN, which attracted 58 cars from as far away as Lacey, Wash., raised $580 during its July 28 show. The funds will be split between the Cedar Creek Child Care Center and the Tillamook Animal Shelter.

2nd annual Route 101 Cruise-In raises $580 for two charities

F

rom classic Model A’s to a late model Caddy, from restored 1950s classics to cars from the movie set of American Graffiti, the second annual Route 101 CruiseIn, held July 28 in Hebo, wowed all-comers with shiny examples of the love enthusiasts have for their prized possessions. And it was a love they were only too willing to share.

Not only did it entertain the hundreds that came by to peruse the show-stoppers, but it also put $290 each into the coffers of two local charities — Cedar Creek Child Care Center and the Tillamook Animal Shelter. One hundred percent of the $10 registration fee went to the two charities.

“Overall it was just a huge success both for me and for the vendors that were there,” said organizer Paul Carbaugh.

“I’ve heard nothing but good things — everybody was happy.”

Several car owners took home trophies for their entries.

Winners in the 15 categories were: Richard Brooks, of Cornelius, Ore., for his 1940 Ford Convertible with 1960s camp trailer (best of show); Tom Milne for the flat tire he experienced driving his 1966 Ford Ranchero to the show (hard luck award); Greg Michael of Lacey, Wash. for his 1931 Ford Mod-

el A Coupe (long distance award); Bert Woodward, of Otis, for his 1967 VW Bug (best import); Bob Wilkinson, of Beaver, for his 2010 VW Trike (best motorcycle); John Morgan, of Beaver for his 1929 Ford Model A (1929 and older); Julie Horine of Beaver, for her 1938 Ford Convertible (1930-39); Bob Cunningham, of Tillamook, for his 1946 Ford 2-door Sedan (1940-49); Dennis and Bernie Ver-Steeg, of Waldport, for their 1951 Chevrolet Bel Air (1950-59); Pat Aultom, of Oregon City, for his 1965 Chevrolet Impala (1960-69); Greg McVittie, of Cloverdale, for his 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle SS (1970-79); Doug LaSalle, of Waldport, for his 1980 Mercedes 450 SL (1980-89); Greg Ernst, of Lincoln City, for his 1990 Nissan 300 ZX TT (1990-99); Paul and Lynette Hesketh, of Hebo, for their 2009 Cadillac CTS-V (2000 and newer); and Fred Schnell, of Rockaway Beach, for his 1934 Dodge Pickup (best truck).

“We had everything form hot rods and stock restored cars to imports, pick-up truck and all the domestic brands.

We had a little of everything,” said Carbaugh.

The next Route 101 Cruise-In is tentatively scheduled for July 27, 2013. For more information, visit www.route101cruisein.com.

Firefighter search down to final 3 Photo by Tim Hirsch

AREA ARTISTS will show their works during Nestucca Valley Artisan’s annual show at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Drive, Pacific City. The event, which will be held Aug. 25-26 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. will feature 16 regional artists.

Nestucca Fire Chief Kris Weiland has whittled a field of candidates for the district’s new paid firefighter and first responder position to three finalists — including one internal candidate, and firefighters from Mist-Birkenfeld Rural Fire Protection District and Cornelius Fire Department.

Weiland reported at the district’s Aug. 8 board meeting that candidates had undergone a series of written and physical agility tests, from which the final three were interviewed on Monday, Aug. 6. Though he said he expected to have a finalist selected by Aug. 10, the decision came after the Sun went to press.

Board president Ken Crowe came away impressed with all three finalists.

“I wish we had the funds to hire all three of them,” he said.

(They are) some really qualified young men.”

The hiring of a new paid firefighter was made possible when the board of directors voted to reorganize the district.

At the July 11 board meeting, the board voted to cut the administrative assistant position in favor of adding a paid firefighter. Former administrative assistant Deanna Brunson’s last day was Aug. 1.

Tentative hours for the position will be 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Thursday through Monday, which would give the district additional coverage during peak call time.

The compensation package for the new position will be $40,875 — including salary, insurance and vacation time.

DLCD, State Parks begin effort to quantify views along coastline for Territorial Sea Plan

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

I

n an effort to instruct the development of the Oregon Territorial Sea Plan, which will ultimately play a big role in determining where ocean energy projects will be allowed along the Oregon Coast, the Oregon’s Department of Land Conservation and Development and Oregon State Parks have begun a program that seeks to determine the importance and quality of viewpoints along the coastline.

Though the assessment is not yet complete, DLCD did conduct a series of surveys on Monday, July 30 — including several non-state park sites in South Tillamook County. At press time, Oregon State Parks, which is moving up the coastline from south to north, had yet to do additional planned surveys within state parks in the area. According to a draft document released to the Sun by DLCD, the goal is to complete the assessments this summer in an effort to provide data for the planning process this fall.

Sites are accessed — and given point values — in seven categories which look at issues such as landforms, color vegetation, scarcity of the view, non-ocean

water features, human impacts and the view’s context. Once completed, data will be forwarded to local government agencies who will decide on further action.

According to DLCD’s draft document — which looked at sites from Delaura Beach in Clatsop County to Cascade Head — possible further actions include a public hearing or commission meeting to review and comment on the results.

In the scenic review Cape Kiwanda scored a 15 — significantly lower than many of the other iconic sites. A viewpoint of Cannon Beach’s Haystack Rock, meanwhile, scored 25.

Factors leading to Pacific City’s relatively low score included negative points for regulatory signs, and beach traffic and relatively low scores for vegetation and the lack of non-ocean water features.

Tierra Del Mar scored a 9 because of its lack of vegetation, additional water features, and relatively common ocean view. Thanks to abundant vegetation and lake views, Winema Wayfinding Site scored 17, and Proposal Rock, which capitalized on its abundant vegetation, as well as the stream and cove, earned a 19. It was kept from going even higher because it earned negative points for the rip rap and fencing that was part of the view.

In Search of Energy Sites With fears mounting that the drive to protect the entire Oregon coastline would preclude any ocean energy developments from coming to fruition, under the director of office of Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber, a new tact towards finding areas for development has surfaced.

With input from the Oregon Wave Energy Trust, the state has now identified 13 sites along the coast — one or more in each county — that are favorable to wave energy projects. Two of these are here in Tillamook County, one in Garibaldi and a four-mile stretch that abuts Pacific City to Neskowin.

To help whittle down the list to five or six sites that everyone at the Territorial Sea Planning Advisory Committee could agree on, the group created a the Energy Overlay Subcommittee, which first met on Aug. 2.

“With the new mandate from above, we’re trying to look at areas where we can co-habitate and have a lesser impact on Goal 19 resources (issues such as fish-

ing grounds, and ecological resources),” said TSPAC committee member David Yamamoto.

OWET’s document, which Yamamoto said led to the change, says that areas with fishing and ecological resources should not be on the “keep out” list as they say adverse impacts can be “negotiated and mitigated.” OWET did agree that it is appropriate for projects to avoid or set back from the following: marine reserves, dredge disposal sites, oceanographic research cables, telecommunications cables and U.S. Coast Guard navigational channels.

“We’re all going to have to sit down and talk about what kinds of issues come up at each of the individual 13 sites,” said Yamamoto. “I’m a believer in ocean energy. It can be a great boon to the economy, but it needs to be done right. Now is the time for people to get involved.”

Getting a Little Help

Chamber supports repeal of ‘death tax’ The Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce’s board of directors has agreed to pen a letter of support for Measure no. 84, which would phase-out Oregon’s death tax if passed when it goes to voters on Nov. 6. Board member Doug Olson shared the decision with general membership on Tuesday, Aug. 7 and there were no objections raised.

If passed the death tax phase-out initiative would reduce the existing tax by 25 percent in 2013, 50 percent in 2014, 75 percent in 2015. On Jan. 1, 2016, the tax would be zero. The measure would also forbid any new tax on any property transfer among living family members. For more information, visit endoregondeathtax.com.

NVCA to tab new officers at Aug. 11 annual meeting The Nestucca Valley Community Alliance will hold their annual meeting Saturday, Aug. 11 at 10 a.m. at Kiawanda Community Center during which they will elect new board members for 2012-13. Four board positions are up for election. Other agenda items include a review of 2012 accomplishments, their pending non-profit status, and discussion on the pending lease and revocable license for a portion of Tillamook Lightwave’s Cable Landing Station property, which NVCA is planning to develop into a community park. They will also discuss upcoming goals. For more information, visit www.nestucca.org.

State identifies Nestucca Elementary as ‘focus’ school, promises additional resources to aid in improving test scores

T

he Oregon Department of Educations has singled out Nestucca Valley Elementary School as one of 95 schools scheduled to receive help in an effort to boost low student achievement.

Nestucca is one of 60 “focus” schools — schools that tests have revealed to be in the bottom 15 percent of high poverty schools statewide. In addition, ODE identified 35 “priority” schools — institutions that either tested at the bottom 5 percent of high poverty schools or are currently receiving Elementary and Secondary Education (formerly known as No Child Left Behind) School Improvement Grants.

Nestucca School District Superintendent Kathryn Hedrick said that it was a combination of Nestucca not making benchmarks and the fact that they didn’t make enough improvement towards hitting the target that pushed the school into the “focus” category. Hedrick, together with elementary school principal Nick Gelbard and two teachers will attend a “Unwrapping School Improvement” workshop on Monday, Aug. 13 to learn more about the program. Hedrick will also report on the workshop during the school board’s next meeting on Aug. 13 at 6 p.m. at Nestucca Jr.-Sr. High School.

in each of these areas.

“This new system is designed to better assess how our schools are doing and then provide them with the help they need to turn things around,” said Chief Education Officer Rudy Crew.

“We clearly have a ways to go to reach our state’s 40-40-20 Goal, but this new accountability system and the supports we are providing to our schools, puts us firmly on the right track.”

The schools on the Priority and Focus list will conduct a deeper diagnosis to determine the areas in which the school and district are struggling. Based on the results of this review, the school and district leadership, in collaboration with teachers, parents, and the community, will develop a Comprehensive Achievement Plan that specifically addresses how the school and district will tackle problems, turn around achievement, and make progress toward specific goals.

The final category of schools identified this summer are 27 Model schools.

These high poverty schools have been identified as examples of successful student outcomes and will serve as models and mentors to other schools around the state. These schools will help share best practices and guide other schools on the journey toward better student outcomes and our state’s 40-40-20 Goal.

Ready for a Move Nestucca Fire’s Hebo station is expected to be ready by Aug. 14

T

he Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District is just weeks away from laying claim to their new digs!

According to project manager Doug Olson, the district’s $2.5 million new fire station and administrative center is expected to get an occupancy permit by Tuesday, Aug. 14. The new station will mark the end of a more than two-year process of replacing the Cloverdale fire station — which burned in a May 28, 2010 fire.

The new 9,500-plus square foot building will feature an administrative center, a fire bay that will support its ladder truck plus two additional fire trucks, and housing for resident firefighters.

At press time, the remaining to do list included finishing the installation of the ceiling insulation and phone lines, as

cation Officer Rudy Crew announced the 95 schools that would be put in the program on Aug. 3. The schools will receive additional supports and interventions from the state to help increase student achievement and close persistent achievement gaps. Identification of these schools is one component of Oregon’s new accountability system approved last month by the U.S. Department of Education. Oregon’s new home-grown system relieves the state from many of the mandates of the No Child Left Behind law, formally known as the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. “Our education system is tasked with preparing all kids to compete in an increasingly complex and competitive world,” said acting deputy superintendent Rob Saxton. “This list of schools is designed to help ensure our schools have the tools, resources, and supports they need to meet that challenge.”

As part of the federal ESEA waiver application, Oregon developed a new accountability system which uses multiple measures to rate schools. For high schools these measures include academic achievement, academic growth, subgroup growth, graduation rates, and subgroup graduation. For elementary and middle schools the first three measures are used. Schools receive an overall rating based on how well they are doing

well as fixing an issue with the emergency generator. Contractors are also busy checking off items on their “punch list” such as touching up any imperfections in the paint job.

Fire Chief Kris Weiland told the Sun that, assuming the district does get its occupancy permit by Aug. 13 or 14 as expected, that they will have fire apparatus moved from its current storage location at Tillamook PUD’s South County shop to the new station by week’s end. He says full move-in will likely not be done until after Labor Day. Weiland also said he hoped to have an official ribbon-cutting ceremony after the district is settled in — mostly likely sometime in October.

The majority of the funds came from a hard-fought for insurance settle-

ment that netted the district $1.8 million.

That, together with a land swap of the district’s Cloverdale property with Tillamook County’s Hebo property next to Cedar Creek Child Care Center and the district’s building fund, has provided the district — and taxpayers — with a bargain. Out of pocket costs are expected to be approximately $172,000, which will be funded through a low-interest loan from TLC Federal Credit Union. At the district’s Aug. 8 board of directors meeting, board members approved borrowing $200,000 from TLC with the promise of repaying any excess over what is owed to contractors to complete the project. Olson recommended the additional funds in case any unexpected expenses come up during final bookkeeping.

YOUNG ELISE ADAMS of Portland is the first to cross the finish line at the Cedar Creek Beach Challenge. Adams took first place overall in the kids fun run event and first in the girls division. She came from Portland for the run with her mother, Cora Adams, who ran the 5K. They were two of the 131 participants in this year’s run which garnered approximately $3,000 for the Cedar Creek Child Care Center.

A Race Well Run Beach run raises $3,000 for Cedar Creek Child Care Center

By DEE MOORE of the Sun

I

t was a beautiful Sunday morning at Cape Kiwanda beach in Pacific City.

The mists had just revealed the tree line, the tide was out, the sand was firm and hard packed, and the runners were ready to run. The Second Annual Cedar Creek Challenge was ready to start.

The run, which featured 10K and 5K runs, a 5K walk and a half-mile kids’ run, is part of a fundraising effort

by Cedar Creek Child Care Center and will go into a savings account for rainy days.

The event was such a hit with locals last year that the center decided to do it again.

There were 131 runners in this year’s event, 51 more than last year.

According to Cedar Care director Diane Wilkinson, preliminary numbers indicate the center expects to have raised approximately $3,000.

Participants hailed from all over the state, the country and beyond; Arizona, Washington, Utah as well as Toronto, Ontario; Fenelon Falls, Ontario; and Northern Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Coming in first in the 10K with a time of 41:44 was Sam Dickie, 16, of Fenelon Falls, Ontario, Canada. Anna Wenzel, 19, of Tillamook was the fastest female runner in the 10K as she clocked 48:06.

Top performers in the 5K were Alan

Beck, 66, of Warrenton, in 23:06 and Leila Burkert, 31, of Springdale, Ariz.

She crossed the line in 25:53.

With a time of 3:19, Elise Adams, of Portland, ran the kids’ race the fastest while Joe Wilkinson was the first male to finish in 3:23.

But everyone was a winner in this race. Globe trotting 8-year-old Oliver Sutherland of Vancouver, B.C. was ecstatic to win his medal for finishing 12th in the children’s race.

The family delayed their return home just so they could participate in the run, said Oliver’s father, James Sutherland. They were planning to head back home as soon as the festivities were over.

“I am 8 soon to be 9,” Oliver said beaming and displaying his medal.

All participants were given medals on silky blue ribbons upon completion of their event.

Seven year-old Sophia Lambert of Pacific City is an old hand at running races.

She ran in the Cedar Creek run last year, though she wasn’t too happy about being up so early for the event.

This year, she did very well, placing second in the girls division of the kids run. She too pranced around in the sand showing off her medal.

Not to be out done by his students who went to state this year, track coach and Nestucca Valley High School athletic director, John Elder of Cloverdale, placed second in the 5K men’s division.

uring the month of August, Rowboat Gallery is featuring new work from Shannon Weber, whose sculptural creations utilizing found objects have been represented at the gallery for the last several years, as well as recent paintings and artist’s books from Andie Thrams, who is exhibiting at Rowboat for the first time.

Andie Thrams’ work builds upon and extends the tradition of carefully observing and documenting wild plants within their natural environment by making the commitment to create “field notes” while remaining with her subjects in their own wilderness context — a context that continues to inform the artist’s imagery as she works. Thrams uses materials such as watercolor, inks and pencil on paper that can be easily carried, and although she also works with oils and acrylics on canvas in her studio, her fieldwork will usually be completed on location, maintaining an immediate sense of being present within the wild places where she practices her art.

TILLAMOOK ESTUARIES PARTNERSHIP will celebrate the South Tillamook County Water Trail System designation as a “National Recreational Trail” with a ceremony, cake, music and paddle on Thursday, Aug. 17.

Spotlight shines on the Nestucca

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

T

he Tillamook County Water Trail System— which includes Pacific City’s Nestucca River Estuary — is in the national spotlight!

As previously reported in the Sun, the trail was honored with the distinction of “National Recreation Trail” in a program jointly administered by the National Park Service and the U.S. Forest Service that recognizes “existing trails and trail systems that link communities to recreational opportunities and on public lands across the nation.”

“It’s an honor and an award that (shows) this is a premiere place to visit for non-motorized use,” said Julie Chick, water trail coordinator for Tillamook Estuaries Partnership.

The Tillamook County Water Trail was one of 54 singled out in 2012. It was the only water trail and the only trail in Oregon to receive the designation this year.

To celebrate the designation, TEP, which applied for the honor, is hosting a celebration on Aug. 17 at the Pacific City Boat Launch located north of Bob Straub State Park.

The celebration will include a paddle, dedication ceremony and cake.

Local folk-rock favorites Richwood will also perform during the event. The ceremony starts at 11 a.m.

Paddlers of all shapes and sizes of non-motorized watercraft are invited to participate in a flotilla that will depart at noon. Pre-registration is strongly encouraged and paddlers will be asked to stage their craft at 10:30 a.m. so as not to disturb the ceremony. As many as 100 boats are expected for the paddle.

“The goal is go out on an incoming tide and return on outgoing tide,” said Marc Hinz of Kayak Tillamook, which is helping to coordinate the event. “Some people might be (in the water) for an hour, some for a couple of hours.”

TEP is in the process of producing a series of guidebooks to the five estuaries of Tillamook County. The organization has already produced guides to Tillamook and Netarts Bay and a third book that will detail non-motorized water recreation on the Nestucca River, Nestucca Bay, Sandlake and Neskowin watersheds is due out later this year.

Chick said that she hopes to have the Nestucca guidebook available for public review sometime between September and October.

For more information on the celebration, visit www.tbnep.org.

FISHING & OUTDOORS

Summer slowdown

Sunrise Deli

Fishing on Nestucca cools down, but crabbing remains a bright spot

By PAT GEFRE for the Sun

W

ow, I can’t believe another two weeks have passed since my last column. The Nestucca River has slowed to a crawl as far as fishing is concerned. There are still summer steelhead being caught in good numbers, but most fishermen have given up or moved on to some other endeavor. The few diehards that are still foraging the river have it, on most days, all to themselves.

I get calls almost daily about searun cutthroat trout. Everyone seems to believe this is the time of year they should be in the Nestucca River. Because there are fair numbers of resident cutthroats, I can see why there is some confusion. The trout that are present right now, however; are not sea runs — they are in fact a resident population that pretty much lives in the river all year. Sea runs will start to show in tidewater sometime in late August and hit a pretty good stride in September.

The time to fish the Nestucca River for sea runs or blue backs or harvest trout, as some folks call them, will be later in September and into October. Once the rains come, the sea runs will pour into all the little feeder creeks up and down the Nestucca to spawn.

I can remember back a few years ago, on a rainy day, when I was invited up to a property on Farmer Creek where we watched the sea runs jump from the creek up into a culvert so as to continue up the creek to spawning grounds. They were like little soldiers one after another hopping up into the culvert. There is a small 3-4 week window where fishing for sea runs in the Nestucca can be pretty darned good.

Lately, ocean fishing has been a see-saw affair. The coho season, which was pretty much a bust, has closed and will open again under new rules in September. Halibut fishing has entered into what I call the twilight zone as most of the fishery is closed except for what they call an every other weekend all-depth fishery. You may fish for halibut every other Friday and Saturday beginning Aug. 3 and 4. Bottom fishing for ling cod and sea bass seems to be operating under its own set rules.

I don’t know why, but one day fisher-

OPEN 6AM-5PM DAILY • HOT FOOD UNTIL 2PM

men have a good day with bass fishing and a crummy day fishing for lings then the next day lings are hot and you can’t find many bass. It has been a rare day when both fisheries are hot.

Tuna fishing has been filling in the gaps for many dory fishermen.

Tuna fishing, though not super great, has been fair to good. This past week, fishermen have had a few good ocean days when the ocean wasn’t too riley and, as an added bonus, the tuna were not too far off. Some have reported tuna as close as eight miles, while others found their fish from 11-18 miles off shore. That’s a much more comfortable trip than having to go from 50-80 miles offshore as was the case early on. Still it hasn’t been consistent. Some days the tuna are north and other days they have been south.

Crabbing remains one of the brightest fisheries. Many fishermen that have pots on the ocean have reported having to dump out excess crabs from their pots, with more crabs than limits that could be filled. Hey, if you need an extra body with a license, I’ll go! Actually, I get my share of mercy crabs. And let me say this, “I LOVE CRAB!” Tidewater in Pacific City has opened for fall chinook fishing, I have not yet been alerted to any being caught. There should be some falls nosing into the mouth of Nestucca Bay soon enough. There are some good minus tides towards mid month, Aug. 15-18. I’ll bet someone catches the first of the fall chinook taking a look around during that period. During the early part of the season, these salmon will come in and nose around and then go right back out to the ocean. They will do that for a couple of weeks until some start to venture further into tide water where they will start to hang out more and the fishery around Pacific City will start to pick up. There are new rules this year for fall chinook.

This year you may retain two fish a day just like last year with a limit of four in any seven-day period. What’s different is the last couple of years you could retain two fish only one of which could be wild. Your second fish had to be a hatchery fin-clipped salmon. This year you may retain two fish and both can be wild.

THINGS SURE HAVE CHANGED! Above, is Pacific City in 1949 before any road was built to Cape Kiwanda.

There are just a couple of cabins on the west side of the pedestrian bridge. One was owned by Harriet F. Thompson who was born in 1883. Her father was from Pennsylvania and her mother from Austria. She is listed in the 1930 census as 47 years old and living in Woods. She received a land grant from Calvin Coolidge for a large section of property along the beach. She built her own house, mostly of driftwood and washed up timber found on the beach.

She sold and gave away many of the lots now part of Kiwanda Shores…sometimes just for helping her get a ride into Tillamook. She had the nick name “Sand Flea.” The airport was just a grass cow pasture and the homes along the river could see the ocean as the dunes had not been built up as they are today. Below, an aerial picture captured by photographer Don Best in 2007, taken at about the same angle and height as the one in 1949. There are lots of interesting things to compare.

Delectable Deli

Sunrise Deli, located inside of Nestucca Valley Sporting Goods, promises fresh eats perfect for the fisherman on the run

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

O

n the run and hungry? Well if north is your direction, there’s a new place to grab your grub! After a two-year long renovation process, Hebo’s Nestucca Valley Sporting Goods opened their new eat on the run spot, Sunrise Deli, on Saturday, Aug. 4. With an eye on serving the fishermen on their way to a day on the river, the eatery is equally well positioned for any travelers making a trip on Highway 101 between Cloverdale and Tillamook. The deli is also putting the final touches on a small dining area both inside and outside.

With their focus on cooking everything from scratch, the deli is already getting rave reviews, says owner Pat Gefre.

Here everything is fresh, whether that means the convenience of sausage and egg burritos; sausage, bacon or ham egg muffins; or biscuits and sausage gravy; it’s all aimed at setting the bar just a little bit higher when it comes to what you’d expect from a deli.

“We’re making everything by hand,” said Gefre.

“Nothing comes out of the freezer and goes into the fryer.”

And Gefre is particularly proud of his lunch menu where diners can sample clam chowder crafted from “Grandma Gefre’s” own unique recipe. Other noontime treats include french onion soup, one-third pound ham-

burgers, deli sandwiches made to order, and barbecue pork ribs that Sunrise Deli spends three days roasting to perfection. And this reporter can vouch for his claim of “they’re so tender it just falls off the bone.”

“We rub each rib with our own special rub for 24 hours, then put them on the smoker until it just starts to sweat,” he said. “Then we take them off the smoker and cool them overnight so the smoke flavor and rub gets absorbed. The next morning we cut them up and finish them in the oven.”

The deli sandwiches, too, have their own twist.

Offered on hoagie buns or pub rolls, those ready for a really big sandwich can opt for “Montana” bread that is not only big, but because it’s made at altitude, doesn’t pick up bacteria. Side dishes include calico beans, potato salad and french fries — all prepared from scratch.

“Nothing comes out of a can,” he says. “We’re making everything. Everything we do is handmade.”

The deli will also have daily specials that will include items such as fish and chips, spaghetti and pot roast. Self-service fountain drinks and lattes and espressos are also available.

Sunrise Deli is open 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Hot food is served until 2 p.m. The deli is located inside Nestucca Valley Sporting Goods, where fishing and camping enthusiasts can pick up tackle, fishing poles and reels, tents, sleeping bags, clothing, ODFW licenses and much more. Find the deli at 31020 Highway 101 South in Hebo. Call 503-392-4269 for more information.
