School releases budget A draft budget of $6.016 million for general fund operations for the 2012-13 school year was released at the Nestucca Valley School District’s Board of Directors meeting on May 14.

The proposed budget comes on the heels of a visioning process in which, with the help of community input, the district identified areas in which they would like to add resources. Amongst the recommendations that came out of the process was the addition of a fulltime kindergarten through 12th grade counselor, which has been added to the budget. Other requested upgrades included restoring the five-day school week and adding a physical education teacher, but Superintendent Kathryn Hedrick said that while she hopes these can be added in the near future, budget constraints will preclude that from happening in the coming school year. In a May 7 meeting of the budget committee, members came to a consensus that because of issues some children are having, the addition of a counselor trumped that of returning to a five-day week.

Voters OK 5-year bond for Tillamook County Libraries

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

T

illamook County voters approved a five-year operating levy for Tillamook County libraries on May 15 that will tax property owners $.65 per $1,000 of accessed value. Based on information from the county assessor, the bond is expected to raise $2.5 million in 2012-13, $2.6 million in 2013-14, $2.7 million in 2014-15, $2.8 million in 2015-16, and $2.925 million in 2016-17. According to unofficial final results, the bond passed with a 4,068-3,598 vote.

If the measure would have failed, all six branches, including Pacific City’s South Tillamook County Library, would have halted business on July 1.

“I had faith that the residents of Tillamook County would support the community library,” said Theresa Roberts, head librarian at South Tillamook County Library. “I know that they value it and that’s important to me. It’s not about the books in the library, it’s about the people and the community. That’s what libraries are for.”

She pointed to the upcoming summer reading program, which kicks off June 19, as just one of the library’s efforts that reaches out into the community.

“When people look back, they’re going to see what we valued in a society,” she said. “It tells a lot about a society in what we valued. Education is what libraries do. We educate and (help people) learn about culture. It’s nice that (the voters of) Tillamook County see that too.

It means a lot.”

County Commissioner Mark Labhart was also encouraged by the continuation of the library system.

“I very much appreciate the Tillamook County voter support for the passage of the county-wide library operating levy for the next five years,” he said. “We will work hard with our staff and volunteers in the next five years to ensure that operation of the branches in

THERESA ROBERTS, head librarian at South Tillamook County Library, is thrilled that the libraries in Tillamook County will stay open another five years, thanks to voters passing a five-year operating levy during the May 15 elections. The bond, which will tax property owners $.65 per $1,000 of accessed value, passed with a 4,068-3,598 vote.

Manzanita, Rockaway Beach, Garibaldi, Bay City, Pacific City, the main branch and the bookmobile are done in a most professional manner. We will be most cognizant of the tax payers contribution and work hard to ensure an efficient and effective operation of this county-wide system.”

UPGRADES The May 15 vote came on the same day that the library debuted new library cards and a new card catalog system.

The library is now on the new Oceanbooks Network, which leverages the Til-

lamook County Library system, as well as the Newport Library and Driftwood Library. The catalog can be assessed at www.tillabook.org. To use the new system, patrons must get a new library card — available in three different designs — two of which are based on murals in the Main Library (one for adults, one for youth). A third limited edition card features the artwork of Cloverdale resident Rachel Whittles, the winner of the library’s March library card art contest.

There are only 1,000 of these limited edition cards available.

County delays determination on ADU proposal

A

fter considering for nearly four hours an ordinance designed to allow accessory dwelling units in unincorporated areas in Tillamook County on May 10, Tillamook County planning commissioners directed staff to research a variety of options including a compromise suggested by Workforce Task Force member Howard Goodman.

With a nod to the opposition that has been mostly focused in the Pacific City Heights neighborhood, in a letter to commissioners Goodman said that “if we allow an ADU in the PCW-R1 zone conditionally with 8,500 square feet, it would effectively eliminate ADU’s from 90-plus percent of all lots in Pacific City

Heights, but potentially allow them in the other R-1 areas of Pacific City.”

Commissioners also passed a motion to hold a joint workshop with the Workforce Task Force on June 14, starting at 7 p.m.

The proposal would allow the construction of accessory units that could either be a separate structure or an addon either to the main structure or above a garage.

Other ADU issues addressed at the May 10 meeting included a discussion on whether it would be better to simplify the language on ADU size restrictions.

They also wondered whether to allow an ADU without a conditional use permit

in neighborhoods where a duplex is now allowed outright.

“In zones where duplexes and multiple family housing don’t have to go through the conditional use process, do we want to impose on (ADU) applicants and put a greater work load on staff when there aren’t any impacts in the zone as compared (to duplexes)? asked Commissioner Don LaFrance.

He added a caveat to that, however, saying that while ADUs constructed as either an addition or within a current structure could be allowed outright, those ADUs made by building a separate structure should be a conditional use in all zones.

IN THE MAY 15 ELECTION, Tillamook County Commissioner, position no. 2, Mark Labhart was elected to a third term while former Rockaway Beach mayor Lisa Phipps was the top vote getter in a seven-way race for position no. 1. Phipps will face Bill Baertlein in a November run-off.

Labhart Reelected

V

oters have tabbed two-term Tillamook County Commissioner (position 2) Mark Labhart for another tour of duty. In the May 15 election, According to unofficial final results, Labhart bested challenger David Downs, of Pacific City, 4,772 to 2,059.

“I am most humbled and honored to be elected to a third term,” said Labhart. “I consider it a distinct honor and privilege to be a Tillamook County Commissioner and will do my best to effectively represent this great county in the next four years.”

Voter sentiment wasn’t nearly so clear-cut in the commissioner race for position one, a position that will be vacated with the impending retirement of Charles Hurliman. Though former Rockaway Beach mayor Lisa Phipps was comfortably out in front with 2,075 votes, the race for second was much tighter. Bill Baertlein won the race for second with 1,260 votes, but just 94 tallies separated him from third-place finisher Valerie Folkema.

Tillamook City Councilor Steven Forster was also in the mix as he garnered 1,100 votes. Behind Forster were Jill Williams (958), Thomas Donohue (523) and John Coopersmith (412). Voters will decide between Phipps and Baertlein in a November run-off election.

With the largest commissioner field in memory, Phipps said the she came away impressed with the campaign run by all the candidates.

“It was a remarkable race. Given (the number) of candidates, it could have gone sideways. It was a very civil race and it was very respectful of the citizens of Tillamook County.”

For his part, Baertlein was encour-

aged by voter’s support in what he described as a strong field of candidates.

“I was just awestruck with the vote,” he said. “There was some very good candidates out there. I learned a lot from the others, and I think they learned a lot from me.”

“I’m honored at the opportunity to run in the general election,” said Phipps.

“We’re ready to hit the ground running and get out and talk to folks and be in the communities.”

Both candidates pointed to the need to develop a long-range comprehensive plan as one of the most important issues moving forward. Baertlein said this should encompass a plan for replacing the courthouse, as well as improving the roads and county parks.

“I plan on running a campaign so voters can see how I stand on the issues versus how Lisa stands so that voters can have a choice,” he said.

A self-described fiscal conservative who also puts emphasize on the need to improve the community, Baertlein said he would like to see more volunteers active in the community to enhance the area.

“Having a business plan, which the county has never done, will help us to start to be proactive instead of reactive so we can actually get out in front of situations,” added Phipps.

She also pointed to economic development as a critical issue for the county and pointed to need for diversification, saying that would help the county to be sustainable from year to year.

“I look forward to having an issuesoriented campaign and the opportunity to face an opponent who is going to be focused on the issues as well,” she said.

“Rene was instrumental in transitioning the center from its old location on Cedar Creek Road to the new building in downtown Hebo and has been invaluable to the Center,” said founding member of Cedar Creek and board member Nancy Emerson.

“Although the children and staff at Cedar Creek will miss Rene, we are excited that she will be able to spend more time with her boys and enjoy some well earned rest and relaxation. We wish her the best of luck.”

The center is also adding longtime Pacific City resident Gloria Gass to its board of directors.

WORKERS drive sheet pilings, which will serve as part of a support structure for a wet well for Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary’s upcoming $870,000 sewer pump station on Pacific Avenue. Excavation is scheduled to begin the week of May 21-25 and will include de-watering efforts, and the installation of auger cast pilings. PCJWSA manager Tony Owen said that the timeline for installing new sewer lines in conjunction with the station has been moved up in hopes the disruption in traffic will be done in time for the Dory Days festival, which is scheduled for July 20-22.

Almost There

Nestucca Fire’s upcoming station nears completion

By DEE MOORE for the Sun

T

his is the tale of the little station that could and did.

Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District will be holding its board meeting next month in the almost completed new Fire Station 87 in Hebo.

The new station replaces the one that burned down in Cloverdale on Memorial Day weekend, May 28, 2010.

A fire that began in the Sure-Win Enterprises building spread to the Napa Auto Parts Store and to the Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District headquarters, Station No. 81, caused an estimated $2.5 million in damage.

After much thought the district decided that it could better meet the needs of the district and it’s communities by building a fire station in Hebo.

There’s a floor, walls and now a nearly completed roof. Colors have been picked out, treatments are being nailed into place and the fire board will celebrate the

end of a long hard road.

According to project manager Doug Olson, by the time the next board meeting rolls around there will be door frames and windows and the roof will be completed — Mother Nature willing.

All that remains are minor functional and decorative details, Olson reported, such as counter height, equipment placement, junction boxes and door frame finishes. The district has selected exterior siding which will be a Sienna blend color, Olson said.

The board also unanimously voted in favor of allowing Fire Chief Kris Weiland to make any on-site necessary or emergency decisions regarding minor changes to the building plan or expenditures that total $3,000 or less.

Larger changes will require a vote of the board — the decision was hailed as an important necessary step to make sure that the construction was completed on time.

THE BLESSING OF THE FLEET promises musical inspiration and words of wisdom from local clergy when it returns to Cape Kiwanda on Saturday, June 2. Attendees are invited to peruse the boats that will line the beach starting at 11:30 a.m., just prior to the noon ceremony.

he community of Pacific City will lift their voices in song and bow their heads in reverence to the dory fleet and its many fishermen, June 2 at a noon ceremony at Cape Kiwanda.

Each year the event, which is sponsored by the Pacific City Dorymen’s Association, brings together church leaders, musical entertainment, dorymen, the community, and of course, a bevy a boats for a time of remembrance of fishermen who have passed on and for a blessing of the season at hand.

Retired catholic priest and doryman Jim Dieringer will be joined

by Pastor Dan Mason of Pacific Coast Bible Church and Pastor Randy Wisenburgh of Cloverdale Baptist Church for short inspirational messages as well as a time of prayer.

“When we launch out into the ocean, it’s an awesome thing,” said Dieringer. “It behooves us to get any help we can get. The first people Jesus called to be disciples were fishermen. Fishermen are important. They ought to have a special prayer.”

Bookending the words of inspiration will be a slate of patriotic songs. And the show will not be without its dose of star power.

Music coordinator and former Lawrence Welk trumpet player Johnny Zell, who is proud of the Welk show’s 65 years on the air and recent Paley Film Institute longtime award, will once again be belting out stirring melodies

OCEAN CONDITIONS PERMITTING, dory boat operators will take flowers out to Haystack Rock following the close of the Blessing of the Fleet ceremony on June 2.

— but he’ll have some help on the way.

Joining Zell for a duo of Amazing Grace will be bagpipe player George Grandison.

“The blessing to me is very important, not only to remember those that have lost their lives at sea, but to ask for the protection of the fishermen during this coming season,” said Grandison.

Also lending their vocal ability will be the musical talents of the Pacific City Choirleers featuring Margaret Slagle, Grace Mick, Laura Zell and Jim Oleson.

And then of course there’s you.

“It’s bringing the whole town out with songs that they don’t normally get to hear and sing along with,” Zell said.

“The combination of Zell’s trumpet and (Grandison’s) bagpipes is better each year,” added Dorymen’s Association co-chair Paul Hanneman.

If the ocean conditions allow, the Blessing will conclude with boat operators heading out over the waves and out to Haystack rock for the spreading of flowers.

Hanneman hails the event as unique amongst blessings because of the proximity of boats to the celebration.

“Throughout the world, blessing of the fleet celebrations are in harbors

Page 8 • Pacific City SUN • May 18, 2012

where boats are in the distance,” he said.

“Here the boats and the people are all together. The combination of the music program along with the inspirational message is something no one else has.

It’s a really good time.”

“We’re getting more and more boats every year,” added Dieringer. “More and more people are seeing that and it means something and that’s important.

We pray for a good harvest so that we can pray that we appreciate the harvest.

I think people understand that and they like to have a little spiritual pat on the back.”

The event is also attracting regional media attention. Oregon Public Broadcasting’s Oregon Field Guide will be filming the blessing.

Fleet blessings herald back to Portugal at a time when most seafarers didn’t return. Fortunately, losses at Cape Kiwanda have been few and far between.

Still, organizers say it’s a good time to remember those fishermen lost father time. While most coastal towns honoring victims of the sea remember them during Memorial Day, Pacific City is different. Boats here can’t just stroll out of a port protected by harbor — hence the later date.

Tamale Time!

Hudson House Bed & Breakfast to host fundraising dinner on May 31

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

R

eady for a taste from South of the Border? There’s no need to head south for an authentic Mexican meal — not when Hudson House Bed & Breakfast owner Irma Scroggins is in the kitchen.

The Hudson House will once again play host to a Mexican dinner fundraiser for Clover’s Day on May 31. On the menu for those hankering for their fix of Mexican culinary treats is tamales with all the fixings.

Though it’s a two-day effort preparing the feast for the fundraiser, Scroggins, who is donating time and food for the dinner, says it’s all worth it when it comes to supporting Clover’s Day. She says the goal is to raise between $750 and $1,000 for Cloverdale’s early welcoming of Independence Day on June 30. “(The funds raised) will be very help-

ful for the event,” said Scroggins.

Scroggins will serve up the complete meal from 4-7 p.m., which will include a full platter including drinks and a dessert.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for children 12 and under. They can be purchased at the Pacific City branch of Oregon Coast Bank, the Inn at Pacific City, the Hudson House Bed & Breakfast, Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce Visitor’s Center, and the Cloverdale Pharmacy. Diners are encouraged to either buy tickets in advance or make reservations by calling the Hudson House at 503-392-3533. Those without advance plans will be accommodated subject to food availability.

The Hudson House Bed & Breakfast is located at 37700 Highway 101, just north of the Pacific City exit.

The 2012 rendition of Clover’s Day will include the crowd-pleasing parade, a fun run/walk, and the music of Countryfied. For more information, visit www. pacificcity.com.

VINTAGE POSTCARDS with one cent stamps were made to entice tourists to visit South Tillamook County and enjoy the Big Nestucca River. Above is the Big Nestucca River as seen from Woods. Below is a scene in Cloverdale.

A Vital Waterway

The Big Nestucca River once hosted a cannery and supply ships

By SALLY RISSEL for the Sun

T

he Big Nestucca River is 53 miles long and begins in the Coast Range near the edge of Yamhill County. The river’s headlands begin in the dense forest, before quietly meandering through green pastures and the small towns of Blaine, Beaver, Hebo, Cloverdale, Woods and Pacific City on its way to the Pacific Ocean. The river is known for its fall Chinook salmon and winter run of steelhead and cutthroat trout.

The river was an important means of transportation and source of fish for the Nestucca Indians and early settlers. Gravel pits along the way supplied rock for the first roads. There are dozens of bridges that cross the Big Nestucca and many small creeks that empty into the river. I love reading the names of the creeks and recognizing the names of some early settlers but wonder about others such as: Moon, Testament, Bible, Wolfe, Limestone, Power, Niagara, Slick Rock, Horn, and Sailing Creek.

The mouth of the river is 2.5 miles south of Pacific City. Fish were so abundant that a cannery was built on the east side of the river near the mouth where settlers could sell their fish. During this period of the cannery, seine fishing was allowed, making it easier to catch large quantities of salmon. The fish were cleaned and processed at the cannery and then transported by seagoing vessels to larger ports. The cannery did 12,000

cases a year during a good season but closed in 1918 when the salmon runs became less and seine fishing was forbidden.

The Little Nestucca flows into the Big Nestucca near the Nestucca Bay. The mouth of the Nestucca Bay is a favorite spot for crab fishing and often has large seals sunning themselves along the shore.

The Big Nestucca was once much deeper and could accommodate ships all the way to Cloverdale on a high tide.

These ships brought in supplies and often transported passengers to Tillamook and Astoria. The entrance to the bay has always been a challenge for boats to cross the bar and several Cape Kiwanda beach entrances into the ocean. The combination of high rainfall, high tides and melting snow have caused extensive flooding some years, with Pacific City receiving the most damage.

The Big Nestucca is one of the special features that make South Tillamook County so popular today. There are campgrounds along the river and easy river access for drift boats and kayaks at public boat landings.

Fishermen can fish from the banks but need to be careful of not trespassing on private lands. The Tillamook Estuaries Partnership is in the process of charting and producing a map of the Big and Little Nestucca for paddling routes where you can explore the river safely and without infringing on private property and the rights of other users.

ARTS&CULTURE

A Look into our Landscape History educator Reiko Hillyer to share insights on how we can improve our communities during May 20 talk

H

ow do we mark our territory? How do the environments we create reflect our values and aspirations? Whom do we include and whom do we exclude in the process?

Learn about these and other issue surrounding community planning on Sunday, May 20, during “Marking Our Territory: How to Read Local Landscapes,” the final talk in a series of six “Coastal Think Tanks,” brought to the area by the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce. The talk begins at 2 p.m. at the Inn at Cape Kiwanda’s conference room.

Touching on gentrification, the decline of public space, historic preservation, residential segregation, and suburban sprawl, Lewis & Clark College visiting assistant professor of history Reiko Hillyer will lead a conversation about how to read the history of our communities through the landscapes we build and consider how we can be more aware of — and more engaged in — the creation of our surroundings.

A recent winner of the Teacher of the Year award, Hillyer teaches 20th century U.S. history, African-American history, the Civil War, women’s history, and the history of the American landscape. Her current book project, “Designing Dixie: Landscape, Tourism, and Memory in the New South, 1870-1941,” explores the era following the Civil War and examines the role that northern tourism to the South played in fostering reconciliation between North and South. Formerly a high school history teacher and guide for Big Onion Walking Tours in New York City, Hillyer is a lifelong New Yorker who is still adjusting to the calm of Portland. She received her BA from Yale University and her doctorate from Columbia University.

Admission to the talk is $5 but is limited to 25 attendees. Tickets to the event are available at the Inn at Pacific City, 35215 Brooten Road. Walk-ins will be accepted as

GUITARIST Slater Smith will play his brand of alternative folk music Friday, May 25 at Stimulus Espresso Cafe. Slater will also play gigs at Twist Wine Co. on May 26 at 6 p.m. and at the Oar House Bar & Grill on Sunday, May 27 at 8 p.m.

Original folk brewing at Stimulus Cafe I

f a night of original folk alternative music sounds appealing, Stimulus Espresso Cafe has a treat that’s destined to put a little energy in your Friday night.

Stimulus After Hours will host the talents of up-and-coming artist Slater Smith on May 25, 6-9 p.m. during a family-friendly event that will highlight Smith’s growing love for performing as well as his penchant for penning striking verses.

At 16, he wrote his first song in the dark on a soccer bus traveling over the Santiam Pass through the snow. His exposure to the Sister’s Folk Festival sparked an interest in indie-folk music and he began listening to the lyrics of Damien Rice, Josh Ritter, The Tallest Man on Earth, and Iron and Wine — great artists with an alternative rock edge influenced by Bob Dylan, and whose impact on his own style continues to this day.

His February 2012 release of “The Weather Machine” reflects a wide range of experiences that include hiking the mountains of Nepal.

“I like to think of ‘The Weather Machine’s’ music as post Dylan, two times removed,” he says. “Now I want to see folk and alternative rock pushed in a direction that says ‘I’m here and I mean it,’ but that doesn’t mean I have to take it all too seriously, or write nothing but sad songs.”

That attitude is never more evident than in Smith’s personal affirmation of when he’s in the zone. He says he believes he’s writing a good song “if I find myself laughing.”

“The creative process is like solving a puzzle,” he says. “For me it’s not about being the perfect songwriter or even writing something that lasts forever. It’s about putting it out there and seeing if it lives in “their” world, letting it go.”

Located across from the beach at Cape Kiwanda, Stimulus Espresso Cafe offers coffee drinks, teas and treats, as well as wine and award-winning beer from Pelican Pub & Brewery. For more information, visit www.stimulusespressocafe.com or call 503-965-4661.

Nestucca nails district playoffs

By DEE MOORE for the Sun

I

t was a warm sunny day, the stands were crowded with spectators, and watchers lined the track and field as Nestucca made history last Saturday at the district meet at Portland Christian High School.

The Bobcats will be sending two freshmen athletes to the state meet at Western Oregon University on May 19.

“I don’t believe we’ve ever had two freshmen district champs in the same season before, so Drace Moeller and Courtney Ahn are making NHS history,” said track head coach John Elder.

‘Cat finish season in sixth place

By DEE MOORE for the Sun

F

or the Nestucca Bobcats, a baseball season that began with much promise despite the adversity caused by the elements ended on a downbeat, but it was not a complete loss. The Nestucca Bobcats baseball team ended the season sixth in the league and eighth overall.

“This was a tough season,” said Bobcats baseball head coach Ken Richwine. “We didn’t reach the goal we had as a team, but we had to weather some pretty tough times.”

“There were many games we didn’t have the players we were planning on playing, due to injuries. However, there were other players who were there every practice and every game. I appreciate their dedication; they are the reason I coach,” he said.

The season did end with a small victory though.

“We did not make playoffs. We did beat Vernonia two out of three games, so it was nice to finish the season with a win, at least as far as series go,” the coach said.

The team won the first game of the night on May 14 against Vernonia 7–6 in six, but lost the second game 4-11 in six. Richwine has nothing but praise for his team.

“Jacob Menefee pitched the entire (first) game and did pretty well. Joey Chatelain went 4 for 4 at the plate. His bat has really picked up towards the

end of this season. He will be a great asset next year as well,” Richwine said.

“The second game was the seniors last game, so I started all of them. Brian Andersen started the game pitching.

Max Kirkendall was the reliever and Jade Downs finished the game. With all of the games we had been playing, their arms were tired. Max Kirkendall and Zach Welch had a decent day at the plate, both batting .500,” the coach said.

The team had faced a long hard battle up to this point. A double-header at home against Knappa on May 9 had left them bruised and weary. They lost the first game 0-11 in five innings. The second game they lost 6-15 in 7 innings.

“On-base percentage is important.

I really don’t care how a batter gets on base. Yes, doubles and triples are good, but as long as a player gets on base, we can keep moving them around. This didn’t happen during the first game of the Knappa double header,” Richwine said.

“We really only had one bad inning defensively, the 6th inning, and hit the ball better, just couldn’t quite pull it off,” he said of the second Knappa game.

“I can’t wait to see what he does next year” has been Richwine’s frequent refrain this season for many of his upand-coming stars.

Though the team has struggled through this season against weather and adversity —including team injuries — there is a light at the end of the road and that light is next season.

‘Cats make districts, go 1-1 in playoff competition

By DEE MOORE for the Sun The Bobcats softball team made it to district playoffs at Forest Grove where they met Vernonia in the first round of games in at Pacific University in Forest Grove Thursday.

Scoring information for this game was not available at press time, though the Oregon School Activities Association Score Center indicated that the ‘Cats won and went on to play against Knappa — a game they lost by a score of 0-10 in five innings.

Though the team lost both games in a double-header against Vernonia this past Monday, they were ranked 33rd in the district with an RPI of 415.53 and fourth in the league with 7-8 and 7-11 overall record.

“The players worked hard,” said head coach Jeff Schiewe.

“The girls are pretty focused and want this in a bad way. You play until someone beats you,” Schiewe said in an interview prior to the playoffs.

Thank you for your support and dedication to Tillamook County.

It has been my privilege.

Sincerely,
