THE SOUNDS OF THE SEASON rang out on Dec. 8 when the Singing Librarians, (l-r, Susan Parker, Lon Meisenhelder, Sara Charlton, Kelsey Sutton, Theresa Roberts, and Bill Landau) shared book-friendly versions of holiday classics. The performance followed the South Tillamook County Library Club’s election of 2013 officers.

A Novel Look at Christmas

illamook County librarians and volunteers showed that their talents extend beyond the printed page during the annual “Singing Librarians” performance, which followed the annual meeting of the South Tillamook County Library Club on Dec. 8. In what head Tillamook County librarian Sara Charlton says doubles as entertainment and a chance to share the many features of the library system, patrons heard parodies of popular Christmas songs. From Jingle Books to Oceanbooks Wonderland, listeners enjoyed a new take on festive favorites and learned a thing or two about the offerings of the library to boot. Prior to the performance, the South Tillamook County Library Club voted in its officers and directors for 2013.

Next year’s officers will be Julius Jortner (president), Jeanette Miller (vice-president), Melanie Merryman (treasurer), Shirley Brown (secretary), and Joani Moore (Past-President). New to the board of directors will be Nanci Sheeran and Ann Potempa. Verla Holton, Joani Moore, Nancy Whitehead, and Dorothy Godett, will continue to serve as directors on the board. The STCLC owns and maintains the building and grounds of the public library in Pacific City. In addition, the club promotes various activities at the library, intended to be of interest and benefit to the South County community. The club is a nonprofit corporation and membership is open to anyone. An envelope form for seeking membership and/or making a donation can be picked up at the library.

RETIRED KOIN-TV news anchor Mike Donahue shared highlights of his career during the night’s keynote address.

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

acific City may be no Hollywood, but we have our share of stars nonetheless. The key players that make this coastal destination shine came out on Tuesday, Dec. 4 for “Starry, Starry Night,” the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce’s 10th annual awards and recognition dinner at Pelican Pub & Brewery. Perhaps it was featured speaker and former KOIN-TV anchor Mike Donahue with the biggest spotlight, but the cast of characters that make this area attractive to locals and tourists alike also grabbed their 10 minutes of fame. The parade of stars credited with their exemplary work in 2012 and beyond included Citizen of the Year Kim Carr and Volunteer of the Year David Yamamoto. The Business of the Year actually went to a collection of enterprises. Sean and Chenin Carlton were honored for their work at Twist Wine, RAG (Reversal Apparel and Gifts), Basket Case Wines and their newest venture, Ribcage Smokery, a Texas-style barbecue, which opened last summer. President of Kiwanda Hospitality and Chamber Past-President Jeremy Strober said that Carr, a lifelong resident of South Tillamook County, is a valued ambassador for the area. “She is known as a very good person,” he said. “She’s good to people. She has mentored and nurtured so many South County residents (and) their children, taught them the skills they need and taught them how to succeed in the workforce.” Carr, who spent several years working at Cloverdale Pharmacy, joined the Inn at Cape Kiwanda’s opening crew in June 1997. She was later appointed general manager of the inn and is now overseeing operations at both the Inn at Cape Kiwanda and the Cottages at Cape Kiwanda. She received the Oregon Coast Visitors Association’s Quality Customer Service Award for the Oregon Coast’s “best service story” in 2007. “She continues to make visitors fall in love with South County every day by providing the highest level of hospitality possible,” said Strober. “She would welcome anyone into the inn or the cottages as she was welcoming them into her own home — whether you’re a paying guest

or not.” “It’s a huge honor,” Carr told the Sun. “I feel very privileged.” Yamamoto’s contributions, too, have been far-reaching. He serves as a member of several groups including the Northwest Area Commission on Transportation, the Tillamook Futures Council, and the Territorial Sea Plan Advisory Committee. He is also past-chair of the Pacific City-Woods Community Planning Advisory Committee and is an active Chamber member. He’s also involved with the Oregon Healthy Kids Program, which strives to make sure all children have health insurance. “I appreciate being recognized,” Yamamoto told the Sun. “Pacific City is an area that is so easy to get involved with. Because you get so much support from the community, it makes it worthwhile and very easy to do.” The Carltons first came on the scene in 2006 when they moved to the area to sell their line of tasty but unpretentious wines under the label of Basket Case Wines. The duo followed suit in 2008 with the opening of the Twist Wine Tasting Room as well as the introduction of two more wine lines — Shy Chenin and Reversal. In 2011, they also opened RAG, where they sell a wide range of apparel and merchandise. Their 2012 opening of Ribcage is their most recent contribution to Pacific City’s business community. Recognition awards were also handed out to Doug and Patty Olson for being the area’s most “Dynamic Duo,” and Oregon Senator Betsy Johnson (D-Scappoose) for being “Gone, But Not Forgotten.” Because of the state’s redistricting plan, Johnson’s former role of representing South Tillamook County will be passed over to Senator-elect Arnie Roblan (D-Coos Bay). Also honored with an untitled recognition award was Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District Chief Kris Weiland. It all amounted to an effort to remember a year where the Chamber overcame one of its biggest challenges yet — running the organization without a president for the bulk of the year. Vice President Jose Solano served as acting president until Merrianne Hoffman was appointed in October. Vicki Goodman came aboard at the same time as volunteer executive director. “Without a president, our board

They also played a role in supporting the American Lung Association of Oregon’s Reach the Beach bicycle ride. All important activities in the effort to promote our area to be sure, but Strober said that perhaps the highlight of the

year’s accomplishments was contracting for a billboard on Highway 101 near Grand Ronde. It’s a project that Strober said the Chamber couldn’t have done without tremendous support from the community as it involved raising $40,000 to cover the cost of a three-year contract. “Our community pulled together to make that happen led by the efforts of Dave Baxter (of Pacific City Homes) and Howard Goodman (of Wing Ridge Construction).

TILLAMOOK COUNTY COMMISSIONERS will host representatives from the Oregon Department of Aviation on Dec. 19. The ODA is reviewing Pacific City Airport amongst 15 other non federally funded airports to determine if any need to be closed due to budget restraints. “We have no charter to close any. We have had a lot of questions about why does the state own 28 airports and what is (our) role. (We will look at) what is the value to the Oregon aviation system, what is the role to the local community, (and) what is the economic impact of keeping that airport.” He added that whether the airport is sustainable and whether there are safety concerns are also pieces to the decision to keeping an airport under state control. He added that even if the state decides to no longer run an airport they would look at options for selling ownership to a responsible party — public or private. “Our charter isn’t to close airports,” he said. “Our charter is to promote and take care of airports. Our only concern is that we take care of them in a responsible and economically viable way.” For more information on the state’s airport system, visit www.oregon.gov/ aviation. For a detailed list of other agenda items for the Dec. 19 commissioner’s meeting, visit www.tillamook.or.us or call 503-842-3403. The full agenda is scheduled to be posted on Dec. 17.

fficials from the Oregon Department of Aviation will visit Pacific City on Dec. 19 to talk with commissioners about the review process of the state’s 16 federally unfunded airports, a list that includes the Pacific City Airport. The meeting of minds will begin with a 3 p.m. tour of the airport hosted by Tillamook County Commissioners followed by a presentation by ODA at the commissioner’s meeting, which will be held at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Drive, starting at 5 p.m. “We don’t want to shut this airport down,” said Commissioner Charles Hurliman. “We need to do everything possible to keep it open.” ODA director of aviation Mitch Swecker, who said he will bring with him at least one staff and board member, said the tour will help the officials have a “frame of reference” for their discussion with commissioners and the public. He said amongst the issues they will take note of is the length of runway and the clearances present between the runway and surrounding buildings and roads. At the 5 p.m meeting, Swecker and his associates will give an overview of the department’s role in the running of its 28 airports — 12 of which receive funds from the federal government. “This is part of a bigger process in looking at all the airports that the state owns.” As reported in the Nov. 2 issue of the Sun, while the ODA is evaluating all 16 state airports that are not receiving federal funding with the possibility of closing one or more locations, no decisions have been made.

In other CPAC news, the group recently announced the results of a community survey that asked the public if they favored an ocean energy development site that the Territorial Sea Plan Advisory Committee has proposed between Pacific City and Neskowin. Of the 71 responses, more than 87 percent opposed the proposed site. The CPAC has forwarded the results to TSPAC as well as the Department of Land Conservation and Development, who will make a final determination in early 2013.

ment with Vicki Goodman who agreed to volunteer her services as executive director through 2013. “With the events we put on, the fundraisers, the money we gave to the community — this leads me to believe that with the momentum we’ve built, 2013 has the potential to be the best ever.” While final figures weren’t available at press time, according to board member Doug Olson, the event is expected to raise in the neighborhood of $9,000 for Chamber activities.

TSPAC ranks sites for ocean energy development By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

he Territorial Sea Plan Advisory Committee, which had been charged by the Department of Land Conservation and Development to come up with “a handful of sites” that would be preferential areas for ocean energy development, stopped short of doing just that at its last — and, reportedly, final — meeting, held Dec. 6 at Salishan Resort. Instead of voting on sites — which in the process of the meeting it determined would be “four or five,” the group, at the behest of Lincoln County Commissioner Terry Thompson, called it quits after ranking the eight sites under consideration. In total, there are nine sites when you add the Reedsport site that already has a FERC permit. “It’s going to be sensitive for a lot of people in this room,” said Thompson. “You’ve got your ranking. I don’t know where they’re going to fall (if it goes to a vote), but I promise you there’s going to be people upset. “You’ve got enough for (the further consideration of ) OPAC as well as LCDC. (If you go to a vote), I think you’re just going to muddy up the water even more and create some hard feelings. You have a confidential vote right now. I’d like to walk out of here with people being my friends.” In order of preferred sites for what is now being called a “Renewable Energy Facilty Suitability Study Area” (formerly development area) were

Camp Rilea, Lakeside Revised, Nearshore Reedsport, Langlois, Pacific City/ Nestucca, North Newport, Gold BeachAlternate and Netarts. The ranking, at least initially, makes the Coos Bay area the real loser said some fishing advocates. That area had submitted several alternate sites — in the hope of avoiding designating Langlois as a site, but, as it turned out, those alternates were merely added to the list. Ditto, for the Netarts site. But in this case it was Coos County that had multiple sites ranked in the top half. TSPAC attempted to address this by developing a “sidebar” that would restrict development in a certain area. That issue ended up largely left up to OPAC and DLCD to resolve. TSPAC did vote on two different proposals that could address it, however — both of which received support. The most support came from a proposal that would limit ocean energy development surrounding each deep water port — north, central and south — to onethird of the total development. The other proposal, which received less “yeas,” but still a significant portion of membership, was to limit development to no more than two suitability study areas per deepwater port area. For Pacific City, though, that could be bad news for those that oppose an ocean development here. At-large member and Pacific City resident David Yamamoto told the Sun the decision to withhold a vote was disappointing and potentially bad news for

Pacific City when you consider that it could easily have moved down that list with an up or down vote. “Depending on how OPAC and LCDC look at distribution, to me, it’s very possible that one or two or three of those Coos County sites could come off,” he said. And that could move the Pacific City-Neskowin site up the list. “If we had been required to take each individual site and vote up or down, I absolutely think (the result) could have changed,” he said. After Thompson’s plea, virtually every member of TSPAC gave a vocal acknowledgement save one. Co-chair of Fishermen Advisory Committee for Tillamook John Holloway said that, in the site ranking process, he was forced to rank an area higher than he wanted to — that, as an example, he was only allowed to rank one site number seven. In a real vote, he said, I can apply the same ranking to multiple sites if he should so choose. The process will now move to OPAC, which will next address the issue in early January. At press time, the agency was considering a twoday meeting in Coos Bay but, at least in part because of the Oregon Ducks Fiesta bowl date on Jan. 3, had not decided whether that would be Jan. 3 and 4 or Jan. 4 and 5. Final decisions, which are in the hands of DLCD, are expected to be made on Jan. 24. For more information on the Territorial Sea Plan, visit www.oregonocean. info.

Want to learn to speak whale? The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department’s semi-annual Whale Watch Week, Dec. 26-30, can help you do just that — or at least demonstrate how to train your eye on the migrating cetaceans. Cape Kiwanda will be one of 24 sites between Ilwaco, Wash. and Crescent City, Calif. to have volunteers from the Whale Watching Spoken Here program. In total 450 volunteers will be manning the sites from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Because of its high elevation, the perch above Cape Kiwanda provides some of the better viewing of migrating gray whales — provided that the weather cooperates. Last spring, 437 visitors caught sight of 22 whales from the site and the 2011 winter whale watch week saw seven visitors see 52 whales. In total, the 2011 winter whale watch attracted 7,044 visitors catching glimpses of 590 breeching and spouting whales.

Destination D.C.! Two Nestucca students win all-expense-paid trip to work with UN

he world of education is about to be broadened in a big way for two Nestucca High School sophomores. Both Courtney Ahn and Chelsea Wallace were selected by the Sheridan Oddfellows, Lodge #37, to join 12 other Oregon students for an east coast swing where they’ll get to tour Philadelphia, New York, the United Nations Building, Niagra Falls, Gettysburg, and Washington D.C. The pair will also get to deliver speeches, see a Broadway play, and visit Battery Park and the Statue of Liberty. Joining Oregon’s representatives will be students from 37 other states and various countries such as Norway, Finland, Iceland, Sweden, Canada,

Sweden, Netherlands, and Switzerland. Though the Sheridan Oddfellows were originally going to sponsor one Nestucca student, they decided to up the offer to two after reading the essays and interviewing the students. According to Nestucca High English and music teacher Kathleen Serven, the judges were so impressed with Nestucca’s other essay-writers — Andrea Polivka, Kycie Richwine, and Marie Krueger — they are getting another chance to get to go, as their essays have been forwarded to the state for one more chance to be selected to go on the 2013 trip to the East Coast.

Japan Comes to Neskowin Valley School

eskowin Valley School students learned about contemporary Japan through hands-on activities during “Japan on the Road,” a November program featuring members of the Japan-America Society of Oregon. Society members brought many items representing Japanese culture to the school, and students found out more about Japan as they wrote Japanese characters, picked up popcorn with chopsticks and imitated language and manners from present-day Japan. During the program, secondthrough seventh-grade students learned about Japan’s geographic location and resources, as well as the history of its anCourtesy photo cient culture.

Superintendent hopes to bring back five-day week

n her Dec. 10 report to the Nestucca Valley School District Board of Directors, superintendent Kathryn Hedrick announced that, during the 2013-14 budget process, she will be working towards a recommendation to the board that the district return to a five-day school week. She said her desire to bring back a five-day week for the students of Nestucca is based on the results of last year’s visioning process, during which both patrons and staff identified returning to five days as a high priority. During the budgeting process for the 2012-13 school year, the board ultimately decided to hold off on immediately adding it back due to budget constraints. Hedrick says she first plans to convene a task force comprised of teachers, classified staff, board members, parents and administrators to help determine the best way to schedule time for maximum learning. She hopes to hold a task force in late January so as to occur before the budgeting process, which is expected to begin between February and March 2013. The budget will be adopted in May 2013. Though exact financial costs for 2013-14 have yet to be determined, she said she expected it to ding the district in the neighborhood of $105,000. And though

money was the issue that kept the district from adopting a five-day week last year, Hedrick said there is reason for optimism for the coming year. She said that in 2012-13, the district spend a large chunk of change for technology upgrades, an investment she expects not to have to make again for another 10 years. The upgrades included installing a new phone system and internet capabilities — the latter mostly necessitated because of the demands of online state testing. There are potential hurdles, however. Because of declining revenue, the district will likely be facing a larger PERS liability in 2013-14. In addition, the district is about to go into labor negotiations with the teachers’ union, which also could financially impact the district. Still, Hedrick said there are several reasons why it’s in the students’ best interest to adopt a five-day school week. “We’ve been noticing a reduction in our test scores,” she told the Sun. “I think our kids need another opportunity for reinforcement and learning. The (longer) days (of a four-day school week) are too long for the little kids.” For more information about the Nestucca Valley School District, visit www.nestucca.k12.or.us or call 503-392-4892.

THE PACIFIC CITY AIRPORT was officially dedicated in 1950 as an Oregon State airport, but was not paved until 1955. According to the airport’s plane register, more than 5,000 aircraft fly into town each year. Above, a “Jenny” is surrounded by onlookers in the early days of Pacific City’s airport.

Recently, a Swiss-made Pilatus landed at the airport and drew lots of attention. The 1,875-foot airport is rated as a commercial field. The U.S. Coast Guard uses it for rescue work.

he Pacific City State Airport began as a grass strip in its present location. Early aircraft were Jennies, Taylorcraft, Stinsons, Ryans, Fairchilds and Stearmans. Barnstormers gave local residents and summer visitors a chance for their first airplane ride. Men such as Dutch Shermer and Harvey Henderson were responsible for encouraging private pilots to fly into Pacific City. The airport was officially dedicated in 1950 as an Oregon State airport but was still a volunteer mowed grass strip. Thirty planes and 300 people attended the dedication ceremonies under the charge of the Pacific CityWoods Chamber of Commerce. The first fish fry tradition began with a BBQ of local salmon. In 1951, the airport was turned over wholly to the State Board of Aeronautics.

Bobcats start slow

Mon-Fri Lunch Special (11:30am-3:30pm)

Nestucca opens season with 1-5 record By DEE MOORE for the Sun

t’s been a difficult ride for the Nestucca Bobcats basketball team this year. Six games into the season, the team has struggled to a 1-5 record. After a four-day hiatus, Nestucca traveled to Riverdale on the Dec. 11, but the rest was not enough to put the ‘Cats back on track. They lost to the Mavericks 36-56. Still, Coach Jim Kiser was happy with the effort Nestucca put into the game. It was particularly difficult because one of the team’s leading scorers, Brett Elder, was out with an infection in his elbow. Joey Chatelain scored 11 points and Max Kirkendall contributed 10 to the overall effort. “We struggled coming out of the half,” Kiser said. “I need to find a way to wake them up before the second half starts.” The Faith Bible Falcons walked away from the Bobcats’ gym on Dec. 7 with a win, beating Nestucca 42-51. Though this was a fun game, according to Kiser, the team couldn’t pull off a win. “We played well for stretches,” said Kiser. “We lapsed in the third quarter.” Austin Woods led Nestucca with 15 points. They took on the Toledo Bulldogs on Dec. 5, but home court advantage was not enough to give the ‘Cats the game. They lost by 30 points, 35-65. “They overran us,” Kiser said. “They were big, athletic and we didn’t answer the bell. “I was proud of the way the boys answered after

Nestucca wrestling coach Cameron Mitchem has a winning philosophy that has continued to lead the team to district and on to state. The team finished 8th last year at state. “My goal is for kids to get a little better every day,” Mitchem said. “We preach that it is all practice until districts and state.” This is Michem’s sixth year coaching wrestling and his fifth year as head coach for Nestucca. The former college wrestler also coaches the middle school football team. “I want kids to compete. I try not to let the kids get hung up on wins and losses throughout the season, but rather focus on improvement. I have had several kids qualify for the state meet with a losing record for the season. They have continued to improve and won when it mattered,” he said. According to the coach, Nate Parks placed 6th at

160 lbs, Lucas Leslie placed second at 152 and Sam Kenagy placed second at 285. “Kenagy lost a close 2-1 match in the finals to a kid from Culver,” Mitchem said. “We entered nine wrestlers in the event. We finished 9th out of 22 teams. The teams were from all divisions including some 5A and 6A teams,” Mitchem said. “For five of the kids, it was their first big varsity tournament. Anthony Sutherlin, Jose Arreola, Tim Streeter, Cody Fouche, and Norberto Soto all won at least one match during the weekend,” the coach said. The team went to the Knappa Invitational on Nov. 28th. No scores were kept at this match. “We tried to match kids up based on ability. It is pretty informal meet and a good first experience for most of my young kids,” Mitchem said. “My goal is to keep improving each week. The kids are working hard every day and we try to put them into situations now that will prepare them for the district and state meet.”
