NVCA considers adding skate park

The Nestucca Valley Community Association is considering whether they want a skate park to be part of the attractions of a planned recreational area just east of Cape Kiwanda on Tillamook Lightwave’s cable landing station property. If the initial lease proposal holds, NVCA will lease a portion of the property for $10 a year. At their May 23 meeting, the NVCA board heard from Danielle Scott of Dreamland Skate Parks, who said that parks range from 1,200 square feet on up. Lincoln City has what Scott describes as a “world
class” park, but is a 27,200 square feet structure — and growing. A park that Dreamland built in Bay City is a more modest 6,200 square feet. Scott estimated cost to build a park at $22 to $32 per square foot. Because Dreamland has experience not just with skate parks, but with designing a community park that includes them as a component, NVCA plans to consult with Dreamland in the near future to see how a skate park would fit in their plans should they decide to go in that direction. At press time, a meeting date had not been set.
Registration open for Slug Soup art camp Community Arts Project is now accepting registrations for Slug Soup, its popular summer art day camp for young people.

Nestucca satifies civil rights complaint By DEE MOORE for the Sun
N
estucca Valley School District has satisfied a Title IX civil rights violation brought against the district last year that stated that the school did not provide equal opportunities for girls to participate in sports or provide equal opportunities in the sports available at the high school. Nestucca Valley School District was one of 60 school districts in the state and one of nearly 100 high schools that were named in a 594-page document filed April 27, 2011, with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights claiming that the schools did not provide equal opportunities for young women. The agency’s Seattle office handled the investigation of the allegations as well as the resolutions. “Based on the information contained in this report and previous reports (from the school district) Office of Civil Rights (OCR) has determined that the district provided information reflecting that it implemented the provisions of the agreement. Therefore OCR is concluding monitoring the agreement and is closing the case,” Gary Jackson, director of the Seattle office writes in a letter sent to district superintendent Kathryn Hedrick. While the plaintiff is not named anywhere on the document and the Civil Rights Office does not disclose this information, the Oregonian reported that the National Women’s
Law Center filed similar complaints at 12 school districts across the United States last November as part of its public awareness campaign to address sex discrimination in high school athletics. None of those complaints targeted Oregon. “Nestucca High School does not provide opportunities for girls to play sports in numbers substantially proportionate to their enrollment. The 2006 participation gap (the difference between the percentage of girls enrolled and the percentage of athletes who are girls) … is 1.0%,” the report states. The complaint went on to claim that the district does not provide enough sports activities for the young women at the school and that there would be an increase in participation if a larger variety of sports were offered. “There are sports sanctioned … by the Oregon State Activities Association that are not offered to girls (e.g., such as gymnastics, bowling, golf, water polo, crew, and lacrosse) and there is no reason to believe that … girls in the District are any less interested in these sports than other girls in the state competitive regions,” the complaint elaborated. “The District’s 2006 Civil Rights Data Collection (CDRC) data also shows continuing or increasing substantial female participation gaps at its Nestucca High School since the 2004 CRDC, which is the opposite of a history and continuing practice of program expansion,” the complaint claimed.

Whether or not a school is providing gender equal opportunity is determined by guidelines established in United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, Office for Civil Rights, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972; a Policy Interpretation; Title IX and Intercollegiate Athletics, 44 Fed. Reg. 71,413 (December 11, 1979). Title IX requires schools to provide nondiscriminatory sports participation opportunities in one of three ways. According to the policy the school can demonstrate compliance if the percentages of male and female athletes are about the same as the percentages of male and female students enrolled in the school; or the school has a history and continuing practice of expanding opportunities for the gender that has been excluded from sports—usually women; or the school is fully and effectively meeting the interests and abilities of the underrepresented gender—usually women—to participate in sports. Programs such as cheerleading and dance are considered activities not sports and are excluded from the evaluation. The minute the Nestucca Valley School District was notified of the allegation, the high school and staff took the pro-active approach. The Title IX complaint was taken seriously, high school principal Randy Wharton said. The agency allowed the NHS to do a self evaluation and provide a report to its representative. The school was also expected to provide a plan

that would provide a resolution to the inequality issues and then implement the plan. The changes that the school implemented included building a new field and score board on the high school campus for the softball team, providing equal access to the field house for the women’s teams, providing equal equipment and equipment storage for the women’s teams. “We purchased an electric score board for the softball team,” he said. “It was amiable,” Wharton said of the process. We constructed the softball field. The girls now have the same opportunity as the boys to use the field house.” According to Wharton, most of the issues were solved by creating a scheduling system so that school facilities could be used by the different genders equally. Now the teams take turns and have a rotating schedule. “We came up with a way to share things,” he said. The district was given time to work out the details and come up with the money required to make the changes necessary. The letter from the Seattle office closes the door on the problem. Now that they are in compliance with Title IX, the district plans on staying that way. “We need to be faithful to the principle of gender equality and to make sure our athletic programs serve girls and boys to the fullest degree possible. We never intend to be out of compliance,” said Hedrick.

Tillamook County Library to debut summer reading program
C
hildren of all ages are encouraged to escape into dreamland this summer as Pacific City’s South Tillamook County Library gets set to launch its annual summer reading program targeted at preschool through 12-year-olds. Registration is now open for “Dream Big – Read!” which kicks off on June 19 with Dragon Theater Puppets, who will present their “Rocket Hamster’s Dreamy Space Adventure”, from 2-4 p.m. at the library. All children that register will receive a free book. Additional prizes will be handed out after youths complete four hours and eight hours of reading. And once they complete their reading log, a free Summer Reading Program t-shirt is theirs for the asking. South Tillamook County Librarian Theresa Roberts says that Dragon Theater Puppets, which hails from Portland, excels at education through entertainment. They perform regularly at schools, libraries and other functions throughout Oregon. The moral of this summer’s presentation is “If you work hard, you can achieve your dreams.” For more information, visit www.dragontheater.com. With Tuesday events running through Aug. 14, it’s a summer of fun, adventure and more. The summer’s line-up, all of which start at 4 p.m. at South Tillamook County Library, 6200 Camp Street, Pacific City, includes: June 26: “Dreams & Wishes.” Librarian Theresa Roberts reads dreamy and wishful stories. Afterwards, children will create catchers and hang the wishes on a wishing tree. July 3: “Silly Summer Singalong.” Tillamook County Library branch manager Bill Landau will be performing as “Mr. Bill” as he plays his guitar and sings for children. Kids get to be part of the action with songs, stories, puppets and more. July 10: “Night Owls.” Special guest U.S. Forestry Biologist Michele Dragu from the Hebo Ranger Station will lead an owl educational program. There will be opportunities for owl face paintings and creating an owl mask. July 17: “Night Adventures.” Explore the night sky in the library’s own little mini-planetarium in the children’s library. Children will lay back and look up at constellations, galaxies and planets galore! Later, participants will make foam flyers to take home and have pictures taken in a space rocket. July 24: “Night, Night.” Children will relax with sleepy stories and yoga with local yoga teacher, Laura Seide. Participants will also create pastel moonscapes. July 31: “Bats and Other Nocturnal Creatures.” Roberts will teach children what other people and creatures do while sleeping! Kids will have the opportunity to help make a bat cave in the library and see if they can identify nocturnal animals by their sounds. Aug. 7: “Night Gnomes & Fairies.” After learning what gnomes are up to at night, children head to the outdoors to build gnome and fairy houses. Aug. 14: End of Summer Party. Featuring Richard Ritchey, the “Reptile Man,” on hand to entertain children with his collection of reptiles from small to

Neskowin Farmer’s Market features local produce, handmade crafts every Saturday, 9 a.m.- 1 p.m. By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun
T
here’s nothing like eating fresh and local produce. And there’s no better place to stock up on the tastes of South Tillamook County than the Neskowin Farmer’s Market. The brainchild of Neskowin resident Nancy Hadley, the market opened Saturday, May 26 to great fanfare. Held every Saturday, 9 a.m.-1 p.m. on the lawn in front of Neskowin Marketplace, the farmer’s market features a wide-range of tasty treats including dory-caught fish, fresh tea, baked goods, and produce — most of which hails from within 10 miles of Neskowin. “The community response has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic,” said Hadley. “People look forward to farm-fresh produce and the freshly caught fish is a huge draw.” Current featured vendors include Blacktail Cafe, Corvus Landing, Groundscore Farms and Rockfish Bakery. The market also offers a selection of handcrafted items including Jan Boutin’s series of historical books on Neskowin. “My vendors are spectacular,” said Hadley. ”It’s great that everybody supports this so well,” said Blacktail Cafe owner-operator Sandra Porter, who
Cloverdale
offers farm-fresh eggs. “We’re pleased with how many people come out for this,” added Carolina Lyddy of Corvus Landing. “This is a really supportive community.” And there’s more to come. Amongst the fare on the way are jewelry, jams and jellies, wood-turned handmade items including bowls and platters, metal garden sculptures and granola bread and bars. And though the market is off limits to canine creatures because of health concerns, that doesn’t mean you can’t take a homemade doggie biscuit back to Rover. But there’s more to the event than fresh food and unique decor. Hadley said part of the draw is the market offers the chance for community members to gather together and reconnect. “It’s a great community event,” said Boutin. “It’s nice for people to come out and see each other after the long winter.” And the market’s attraction as a place to gather will only grow in the coming weeks. Plans are also in motion to bring music to the market to add to the ambiance. For more information on the Neskowin Farmer’s Market, contact Nancy Hadley at 503-392-3582 or neskowinfarmersmarket@gmail.com. Vendors interested in participating are encouraged to inquire about the application process.

Cycling Success! Reach the Beach expeeds expectations By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun
A
pproximately 2,700 riders strong, the 2012 Reach the Beach bicycle ride, the largest fundraiser of the year for the American Lung Association of Oregon, was a fundraising success — amassing an estimated $535,000 for the research and prevention of lung disease. Though the 2,700 riders fell short of the 3,000 that have participated in recent years it surpassed the expectation of organizer Ayleen Crotty, who had earlier estimated that 2,500 would participate because of an increase in the fundraising requirement for participating riders. She credited the spectacular weather — by her account neither too warm or too cold — as reasons for the larger numbers. She said a large number of cyclists registered on the day of the event. The top fundraising team was a group of riders from Portland General Electric, who earned $12,000 for ALAO for their efforts. Crotty speculated that the showing was boosted by PGE employees’ friendly competition between teams raising funds for the Heart Walk and Reach the Beach. “They raised more than ever before,” she said. The one blight on this year’s event was that one rider — who had not regis-
tered but joined in anyway — was hit by a vehicle at the intersection of Highway 18 and Highway 22, near Grand Ronde. The rider, Steven Dayley, of Camas, Wash., later died. Crotty said the incident underscored what she organizers already knew — that the intersection near Grand Ronde is a tricky one. She said that while she couldn’t speak to whether things would have been different had he registered, she did acknowledge the education effort that registered riders get on the dangers of that intersection. Crotty also added that the organization team are planning changes to that portion of the ride for next year’s event. “We’ve always had concerns with that spot on the course,” she said. “It’s a hard part of the course and there are not many options of getting around. We’ve always had signage (alerting of the dangers) for motorists and participants.” Despite the incident, Crotty said that overall — based on number of incidents — this year’s event was one of the safer events in memory. “It was a great ride and it was great to be in Pacific City and have the support of the community,” she said. Things went smoother than ever this year.” For more information on the work of the American Lung Association of Oregon, visit www.lungoregon.org.

YAPPY DAYS, held June 16, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. in front of the Inn at Cape Kiwanda, will feature a sidewalk fair with vendors that will include a micro-chipping booth and pet wash.
Dedicated to Dogs
Check out both stores one half block from the blinking light in between Brooten Rd and the Airstrip at 6425 Pacific Avenue
there are fees at some of the vendor’s booths. The micro-chipping service is $30. Organizer Kim Carr said the event is the Inn’s way of encouraging people to bring their pets to Pacific City for a day of fun on the beach, as well as an opportunity to shine some light — and some much needed funds — on the work of the animal shelter. There are several pet-friendly lodging opportunities in Pacific City, amongst them the Inn at Cape Kiwanda, an ocean view hotel located across from the beach, the Cottages at Cape Kiwanda, which offers oceanfront 2- and 3-bedroom suites, and Shorepine Vacation Rentals. Visit www.yourlittlebeachtown.com for more information on these lodging destinations. To make a donation for the event, contact Kim Carr, manager of the Inn at Cape Kiwanda, at 503-965-7001.

Can I Have Your Autograph? Remembering books that have served as fond farewells
By SALLY RISSEL for the Sun Autograph books have been around since the Victorian era and used to be part of the tradition of getting friends and classmates to sign a little farewell to you. The books often had leather- or marbled-paper bindings with ribbons tying them together. The individual small pages were ready for each person to sign in their best handwriting. The little poems and witty sayings that people wrote are old-fashioned by today’s standards, but charming, sweet, funny and innocent. The autograph book I have in my collection of historical photos and local memorabilia belonged to Effie Irene Carver, who was a 1930 graduate of Nestucca Union High School. She was in the second graduating class of the newly built high school on the hill in Cloverdale. She attended grade school in the little one-room schoolhouse in Oretown and had a younger sister Helen and brother Jack. Some classic fond farewells include this popular rendition of the “Roses are Red” theme: “Roses are red/ Violets are blue/ You are my best friend/ and I do mean you.” Other common ones were: “When you are married/ and your husband gets cross/Take up a poker/ and show him who’s boss.” And “When you get old/And think you’re sweet/Take off your shoes/And smell your feet.”

KAYAKING IN THE LAKE is amongst the popular recreational activities offered at Winema Christian Camp’s summer youth camps.
Worship and Recreation Registration open for youth adventures at Winema Christian Camp By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun
S
ummer at the Oregon Coast can be many things, but for those youth itching to get out in the great outdoors and nurture their spiritual walk while they’re at it — Winema Christian Camp offers a respite from the mundane. Each year the camp hosts several youth camps, with age groups ranging from third-graders to high-schoolers. There’s lots to do at this oceanside camping haven — recreational opportunities include kayaking, swimming, miniature golf, waterslides and more — but it’s the attention the kids get from concerned counselors that makes a difference in their lives says camp director LeRoy Shepherd. It’s an effort to reach out to the younger generation, get them away from their video games for a week and open up their hearts to the call of God he says. “The camp is an opportunity to see just how much God cares for them as they build relationships and experiences,” said Shepherd. “It’s a chance to hear God’s call upon their lives.” With 2012 marking the 17th summer Shepherd has been at the camp, he says one of the most special
things is to see how campers who started as participants in the first-chance (third grade) camp have grown over the years. Camps begin June 17 and the last camp wraps up on Aug. 18. New this year is a program that Shepherd hopes will make the camp more accessible to those families that struggle to come up with enough funds for their child to participate. Adopt-A-Camper is a donation program where individuals and businesses can sponsor the cost of attending the camp for those in financial need. Sponsors are still needed. Call the camp office at 503-392-3362 for information on how you can help. And if you want to send your youth for a week of enrichment and spiritual growth but don’t think you can afford it, the camp wants to hear from you too. “I’d like to find a way to get more kids here — especially those from South Tillamook County,” Shephed said. The camp, which is located at 5195 Camp Winema Drive, is open to all regardless of whether they have a religious affiliation. Camp cost is $215 per child for all but the first-chance camp ($165) that’s aimed at third-grade students. To register, visit www.winema.org.

Learning about who He is Pacific Coast Bible Church hosts VBS, June 18-22 By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun
I
f you’re looking for an enriching week for your young one that’s sprinkled with a healthy dose of wisdom from the Word, Pacific Coast Bible Church has a week for your youth. The church is hosting their annual Vacation Bible School, June 18-22, 9-11:45 a.m. at the church, which is located at 35220 Brooten Road in downtown Pacific City. This year’s theme of “Who is Jesus?” will give children from pre-school to sixthgrade a glimpse into the many aspects of the Good Shepherd. “Every day we have a Bible truth and a Bible verse that we focus on,” said VBS director Mary Ann Somdahl. “We’re giving children a feeling for
not only who he is but how he helps us.” Somdahl says the VBS program, which is free to both residents and visitors, includes several components designed to introduce them to the faith and have fun while doing it. Each day includes a Bible lesson, a Bible truth session to explain God’s word, Bible training on how to use God’s word in life, an opportunity to learn a Bible verse, Bible crafts that she says demonstrate God’s word, and a snack time to “fill up” on God’s word. “We teach children to depend on Him and learn from Him how to live,” Somdahl said. Registration forms are available at a kiosk located in front of the church. Though early registration is encouraged, parents can also sign up their kids on the first day, June 18. For more information, call 503-965-7222.

n the fishing world, there’s lots going on! To start, spring chinook salmon have finally made their appearance. Fishing for them has been fair throughout the Nestucca system. Some have been fishing the jaws of Nestucca Bay, trolling spinners and herring. Some have been finding success trolling herring behind a 5 ½-inch kone Zone flasher. Further up the bay, many are throwing spinners or bobber fishing with eggs or sand shrimp. In the Nestucca River itself, from Farmer Creek down to Cloverdale, salmon fishing has been the most consistent. Eggs and shrimp under a bobber are the preferred methods. Sometimes mixing in tuna bellies or sardine chunks will get a strike when everyone else is using eggs or shrimp. Just offering something different for a change of pace will get a Photo courtesy of Pat Gefre bite.

A SPORTING EDUCATION
Horse Play Monica Therrien competes at state in Nestucca Equestrian Team’s first year By DEE MOORE for the Sun
N
estucca equestrian team member junior Monica Therrien recently went to Oregon High School Equestrian Teams (OHSET) state meet where she competed with students from 136 schools in eight different districts statewide. This is the first year that Nestucca has had a team and to have a state competitor in the team’s first year is a major accomplishment. Therrien competed in three events — Hunt Seat Equitation, Showmanship and Reining. She took seventh in the Hunt Seat Equitation event, 18th in Showmanship and 26th in Reining. When she wasn’t strutting her stuff she was showing why she was named the district’s Sportsman of the Year award winner. The Nestucca team is part of the Northwest District which includes 16 other teams. She is a big supporter of the Southridge and Hillsboro teams in particular. “I guess I am just a good team supporter,” she says a little self consciously.“This is my first year at OHSET. It was crazy, people and horses everywhere. I was running from one arena to another arena trying to get to see everything.” When she wasn’t racing back and forth to see her district teammates compete, Therrien was competing herself. Or bathing her horse Rockie, a registered paint she has had since he was six. His real name is Diamonds For Cash but he’s known as Rockie and “it fits him.” “It was crazy dusty,” Therrien said of the Deschutes County Fair and Expo Center. The dust was what led to the numerous baths Rockie had to endure. Presentation and the care students give their

Her partner in the event is “Rockie”, a registered paint. four legged team members are considered important aspects of the sport. Therrien, who will be a senior next year, will be spending the summer participating in 4-H events, gaming events for local riders called Play Days, going to the rodeo and breaking a Mustang she adopted
through the Teens and Oregon Mustangs program - all in preparation for next year’s equestrian season which starts in February. She plans on studying animal science at Tillamook Bay Community College when she graduates from Nestucca High School.

he Nestucca track team recently proved that Bobcat power is a force to be reckoned with. “We feel pretty good about the state meet performances. We brought home seven medals, and had a state champion,” said track coach John Elder, who is also the high school’s athletic director. That state champ is senior Nick Ahn who placed first in the high jump with a 6-feet, 2-inch jump. “We had four first time to state seniors, and are glad they got the opportunity to experience the state meet,” the coach said. Those graduating seniors include Ahn, Jessica Elder, Cody Aalsma and Randy Winesburg. Two Nestucca freshmen — Courtney Ahn and Drace Moeller — made NHS history this year as this was the first time two freshmen from the school qualified for state. Though the Bobcat track team will be losing some valuable talent, there are prospects coming up through the ranks who will soon step into these departing seniors shoes and lead the black and orange to another year of exciting
competition. “We are certainly excited to see what some of our younger athletes are capable of next year,” Elder said. “The great thing about track is you have different strength areas every year as athlete’s talents change. We should have a really good large group of young throwers next year, so that is something we are looking forward to a lot,” he said. “Our intent is as always to challenge for a district team title and improve on our second place finishes of this year.” The wealth of talent can be seen in this past week’s decathlon. In its 29th year, the event is a Nestucca-only event and showcases the school’s talent. Though Ahn won for the second year in a row, freshman Moeller gave him a run for his money. The underclassmen swept the event for the Lady ‘Cats. Freshman Rebecca Whittles took first while classmate Erin Winesburgh took second and sophomore Trishia Hopkins took third place. In the state meet, the Nestucca boy’s track team placed 11th out of 27 teams with 24 points. The girl’s team placed 23 out of 31 teams.
