How should Tillamook County 11 a.m.-4 p.m. respond to differing viewpoints of its citizens? and What is your vision for TilProceeds from this thrift shop lamook County in 20-30 years? support the Winkelman Yamamoto was first up to bat.

TILLAMOOK COUNTY COMMISSIONER Tim Josi (at left) and his challenger, Pacific City resident David Yamamoto, shared their thoughts on the challenges the county faces and the best way to address them during a political forum held on April 1 at Pelican Pub & Brewery. The Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce hosted the event. his 2013 appointment to represent the 15 Western States before the National Association of Counties on their executive board before congress. “This is a big deal for Oregon, this is a big deal for Tillamook to have me in this position,� he said. Josi pointed to the continual threat of shutting forest production down in the name of protected species such as the marbled murrelet and coho salmon. “We’re getting hit from all sides,� he said. “I feel like it’s my turn up to bat. I can really do some good things for us. To give that up now, I think, is really wrong.

I’ve spent years building myself up to the point where I can do some wonderful things for this county with the position I’m in.�

Issues brought up in the question and answer period that followed included Oregon’s recently adopted Territorial Sea Plan. Both Josi and Yamamoto were intimately involved with the four-year process to create a set of guidelines for ocean energy development — Josi as chair of the Territorial Sea Plan Advisory Committee and as a commission member on the Land Conservation Development Council, which ultimately approved the plan. Josi was the lone LCDC commissioner voting against the plan, which included a two-mile area south of the mouth of Nestucca Bay as one of the least restrictively zoned ocean energy development sites. Yamamoto was a TSPAC Citizen at Large.

Josi told the Chamber crowd of about 45 that he understood the community’s concern over developing it, but that he doesn’t think it will ever happen.

He cited its remote location and the fact that grant dollars have dried up. “The reason why this submerged (power generation) site won’t happen

is because there’s a better one in Camp Rilea,� he said.

Yamamoto, who is a co-petitioner on an appeal of the LCDC adoption, said he got involved with the issue because he didn’t feel fishing industry’s concerns and Oregon coastal resident’s worries over a negatively impacted viewshed were being heard.

Tillamook County Public Works director Liane Welch asked how the candidates would balance the needs of South County with those in Central and North County, a question that was met with similar sentiments from the candidates. “I just hate it when we divide the county up and say there’s winners and losers,� said Josi. “We have worked hard to make sure everyone’s represented.�

He also pointed to evidence of solid South County representation, citing projects such as Noble Wayside, an upcoming community park and bus transit center in Cloverdale; and Tillamook Light Wave’s Cable Landing Station, which has agreed to a low-cost, long-term lease with the Nestucca Valley Community Alliance — a group that is working on building a two-plus acre community park on the property, which is located just east of Cape Kiwanda.

Yamamoto agreed with the whole county as one theme, saying “It’s not us versus them.�

Still, he says there is room for improvement. As an example, he said the county’s Rails to Trails Program, which proposes a system of trails from Tillamook to Banks, Ore. is a great one, but would be even better if there was a southbound stretch that would connect with Pacific City. “We’re all one county, and we all need to pull together,� he said.

Loose Coming Events!

By VERNE MOBLEY Lions Club President

My wife Pat and I were reminded of some of the reasons we moved here eight years ago from Sherman County when we read an article in the Oregonian about the new state park on the John Day River near where we lived for 50-plus years.

Great place to rockhound, camp, fish and hike on this 8,000-acre park. But — watch out for the rattlesnakes, ticks and the occasional cougar. Gosh!

It’s nice down here!!

People here who are thinking of joining our Lions Club should join us for some of our next fun things, such as: 1. The Easter Egg Hunt at Nestucca Valley Jr.Sr. High School on April 19, at 10 a.m.

Great day watching the kids!

2. Reach the Beach bicycle event for the Oregon Lung Association. About eight Lions, eight Chamber of Commerce members, and eight NVHS wrestlers will help park about 3,000 bicycles. The tired riders are happy to see us, park their bikes, and go have a Pelican beer. This event is May 17.

3. Tillamook Rodeo – last weekend in June.

Lion Jim Dieringer and his crew will whip out those famous elephant ears.

Did you know that Lion John Griggs had quadruple bypass heart surgery last week and already came home this week? He seems to be getting better every day. What a tough guy. We all know that he has a great nurse looking after him.

Carol, of course!! Treat her nice, John!!

Be sure and talk to any Lion about membership.

It’s great to be a Lion!

Some renovation work possible in floodplain

By SCOTT GILBERT for the Sun

P

acific City property owners may be allowed to do limited home renovations in areas affected by a building-permit moratorium, and Tillamook County has hired a firm to perform a floodway analysis that will be a key step in the long process to end the moratorium.

Tillamook county commissioners hired West Consultants, which specializes in advanced water resources investigations, on April 2. In a study expected to take one to three months, the Portland office of West Consultants will analyze the lower reaches of the Nestucca River, the Nehalem River and the North Fork of the Nehalem to determine the correct base flood elevation (BFE) — the level that floodwaters have a 1 percent chance of reaching in any given year.

The West study will conclude with the creation of new flood maps, which will be submitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency. After that, the FEMA process for final map approval has been projected to take 300 days, though it could be somewhat shorter or longer.

The building-permit moratorium in the affected areas, which is unofficial now and is set to be formalized around the end of this month, is expected to last until the maps are approved. But Tillamook County Community Development director Bryan Pohl, whose department issues building permits, said not all home-renovation projects are off the table.

A March 14 notice declared the county’s “intent to declare a moratorium on building permit issuance” in the affected areas, but Pohl later told the Sun, “I think we need to refine the wording” and described home renovations that could be permitted on a “case-bycase” basis.

Alterations and improvements that are deemed “non-substantial” and that would not affect flood flows would be considered for building-permit approval, Pohl said. To be considered non-substantial, a project’s cost must not exceed 50 percent of the value of the building.

Pohl described varying levels of scrutiny that could apply to requests for renovation permits. As an example, he said, a $200 project on a $200,000 home might be approved by his office in an uncomplicated manner, while a $150,000 project on a $310,000 home would get a “closer look.” The more work that is planned, and the more that a project’s cost approaches the 50 percent level, the more likely it would be for Pohl to “take it up the chain” for consultation with National Flood Insurance Program coordinator Christine Shirley or with FEMA. In Pacific City, the building-permit moratorium affects the floodplain of the Nestucca River, an area of varying widths extending from both banks of the river. At the downstream end, the affected area begins where the river widens to meet Nestucca Bay, and it continues upstream to just past the point where Sanders Creek flows into the river.

The moratorium has its immediate roots in a 2012 audit by FEMA, but the underlying reason for the moratorium is “30 or more years of permitting

structures” in river floodways without proper analysis, according to the county’s March 14 moratorium notice. Pohl, who was named the director of community development last month, said it appears that the decades of improper permitting stemmed from a lack of knowledge in the Community Development department in the past, so that structures in areas prone to yearly flooding were permitted as if they were in areas with only a 1 percent chance of flooding in any year.

FEMA found that the improperly permitted development could have altered the base flood elevation, meaning that the BFE is now unknown. As the administrator of the National Flood Insurance Program, FEMA subsequently dropped Tillamook County from the Community Rating System, causing property owners to lose the benefit of a 20 percent discount in flood-insurance premiums.

While FEMA has not ordered the county to impose the building-permit moratorium, the potential consequences of continuing to allow construction in the affected areas are so severe that county officials see no other option. With the BFE still unknown, making a mistake in the affected areas could cause the county to be placed on probation by FEMA, which would cause a drastic increase in flood-insurance rates countywide.

Christopher Goodell, a senior hydraulic engineer who manages West Consultants’ Portland office, will head the floodway analysis, which has a cost cap of $55,458. He said the work will start with a visit to Pohl’s department, followed by travel to the sites in question to get some bankside views of the rivers and to take photos and make notes.

West will gauge the rivers’ hydraulic characteristics and get measures of the rivers with cross-sections, but since there are previous surveys available, boating or wading in the rivers is unlikely to be needed. West will look at subsequent changes in the areas, such as development and roads, and will blend the underwater portions of the previous surveys with topographical data for the surrounding land area that is provided by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries.

DOGAMI topographical data is obtained by the department’s use of LiDAR, or light detection and ranging, in which a laser is aimed down from an aircraft and the light that bounces back is analyzed.

“It’s a quick way to get very accurate topo data,” Goodell said.

The survey and topographical data will be used in a computer model to determine the BFE, said Goodell, who emphasized the technological nature of much of the work. Pacific City residents “probably won’t even notice we’re there,” he said. “We do most of our work in our office behind a computer.”

The Pacific City-Woods Citizens Advisory Committee will address the issue during an April 19 public meeting at Pacific Coast Bible Church, 33570 Brooten Road, adjacent to the Pacific City Post Office, starting at 10:30 a.m. Those in attendance will include Pohl, flood-insurance coordinator Shirley, and County Commissioners Bill Baertlein and Tim Josi. Goodell said he will try to have someone from West Consultants in attendance.

ou’d be hard-pressed to come up with a duo that epitomizes the hard-working mantra of area dairy farmers and their commitment to their community more than Dennis and JoAnn Love of Den-Jo Farms.

The couple has been tabbed as this year’s grand marshals for the annual running of the Clover’s Day Parade, which will again march through town on July 5. This year’s theme is “MooTown USA.” The couple’s dairy pedigree goes way back to their early days at Nestucca High School, where Dennis graduated in 1968 and JoAnn in 1969. Married in 1970, the couple have three children and eight grandchildren.

Dennis grew up on his dad’s farm, Sea Breeze Dairy. It was there that he got the dairy bug.

“I got into the show mode when I was in 4-H and just wanted to keep doing it,” he says.

And that show mode has continued through the years. Since his first show at the county fair in 1959, he has amassed a run of 52 straight years of showing cows at the Tillamook County Fair, as well as at national shows and state fairs. And during that run, he has collected innumerable ribbons, first-place awards and even grand champions.

They both also were attracted to the allure of being in business for themselves.

“I always wanted to be my own boss,” says Dennis.

“I think a lot of (the reward) is what you can accomplish yourself,” adds JoAnn. Though he took time to get a degree from Clatsop Community College in Astoria, it wasn’t long before Dennis was back home. He turned to his dad’s farm after graduation and started dairying on his own — with JoAnn’s help — in 1976, when they purchased property from his father, John.

Since that time, their dairy has grown from 20 milk cows to nearly 200 head of milk-producers.

Though they now have two full-time hired men to do the bulk of the chores, they continue to contribute to the farm daily.

Page 8 • Pacific City SUN • April 4, 2014

“We’re both out there,” says Dennis. “We feed the calves, feed the cows in the morning.”

Though they initially shipped milk to Darigold, they have been Tillamook Creamery members since 1981.

For her part, JoAnn has dabbled in many enterprises in addition to supporting her husband on their 123-acre farm, 88 of which they own and 35 additional that they rent. The energetic South County native has dabbled in jobs ranging from working as a waitress, cook, janitor, grocery store worker, and school bus driver. She also devoted her efforts to the local Brownie club while children Tawnya, Tracie and Travis were growing up. She has also has an uninterrupted run doing ice cream serving duties for Clover’s Day — a streak that started with the celebration’s first event.

And their lifelong dedication to farming hasn’t been done in a vacuum as their dedication to community service attests to. Amongst Dennis’s contributions to the greater good: 16 years on the Hebo Grade School’s Board of Directors, 4-H leader for 16 years and board member for six years, and 10 years on the Oregon State Holstein Board. He also has had a lengthy career when it comes to auctioning, having performed behind the microphone in National Rifle Association, Oregon Hunters Association, Tillamook County Fairgrounds, and dairy sales auctions. Dennis has also served as delegate to the National Holstein Convention on four different occasions. Both Dennis and JoAnn have also served on the board at Nestucca Valley Cemetary in Hebo for the past five years.

Dennis also loves to get out and hunt, an activity he has used as a respite from a life filled with cows now and again. He has participated in out-of-state trips in Nevada and Idaho since the mid 70s.

Thanks to paying their dues from countless long hours at the farm and their competent staff, the couple now enjoys traveling. They have vacationed in Hawaii seven times and have more trips to locations untold on the horizon.

“We’ve got the right kind of help that we can do whatever we want to do,” says Dennis. “There’s other places we want to see before we’re done (and) we will.”

HEBO RESIDENT Gary Horton urges Tillamook County commissioners not to impose a moratorium on medical-marijuana dispensaries, as moratorium supporter Shirley Kalkhoven, the mayor of Nehalem, looks on. The two were among four county residents who addressed the commissioners at an April 2 public hearing on the issue. An April 16 public hearing, starting at 6:45 p.m. at the Nestucca Fire’s administrative center in Hebo, will precede the commissioners’ final decision.

Ban could be short-lived Officials discuss marijuana dispensaries; next hearing set for April 16 in Hebo

By SCOTT GILBERT for the Sun

T

illamook County appears to be heading for a temporary ban on medical-marijuana dispensaries in unincorporated areas, but the two county commissioners present for an April 2 public hearing said the moratorium may not last for the full year that a proposed ordinance would allow.

The public hearing — the first of at least two concerning the proposed moratorium — featured citizens who spoke both for and against the temporary ban, and concluded with Commissioners Bill Baertlein and Tim Josi sharing stories of loved ones who were helped by medicinal marijuana. Baertlein and Josi both stated they do not oppose dispensaries if the issue is handled correctly, and said a moratorium that would focus on landuse standards could end before a year has passed.

Hebo residents Gary and Linda Horton spoke against the moratorium, with Gary Horton pointing out that the 2013 state law allowing dispensaries already bars the facilities from residential areas or locations within 1,000 feet of a school.

“You’re basically denying cancer patients and everybody else medicine they need,” he said. “That’s wrong. I’m sorry, that’s just wrong.”

Linda Horton said she has been a medical-marijuana patient for 10 years.

“What you’re trying to do is going to cause me harm,” she asserted. “What am I supposed to do about my medicine? Where do I go?”

When County Counsel Bill Sargent clarified that there are no dispensaries in Tillamook County now, she had a response for that, too.

“But there could be,” she said.

“They could be a little closer.”

“I also get my medicine,” said Jerry Pesterfield of Cloverdale. “And I don’t understand your logic in trying to push the subject down the road when you could legalize the dispensaries. And there shouldn’t even be any discussion about this. People need their medicine.”

Nehalem Mayor Shirley Kalkhoven spoke in favor of the moratorium. She

said the idea of a marijuana dispensary setting up shop prompted her city to recently enact its first business-license ordinance, requiring that any business in the city comply with federal law — which doesn’t recognize the legality of marijuana.

“The idea of giving us some breathing space to think about this and look at what is happening in other states and communities, I think is a very good idea,” she said in support of the moratorium. “Because this is game-changing for communities.”

Josi shared a story of his wife’s uncle, a cancer sufferer who used marijuana to gain an appetite for food.

“So I’m not opposed to marijuana being used appropriately for that purpose,” he said. “I’d use it myself if I thought it helped, if I had a condition I thought it would help.”

He also emphasized that a moratorium “opens up the door for us to look at allowing for an ordinance that makes sense within the community,” and added that such a ban “might take a year, but we might be able to get it done much sooner than that.”

Baertlein said he thinks dispensaries are “a good thing,” and described how “my aunt, bless her soul, ended up having to buy dime baggies for her dying daughter in Portland. And she was the vice president of a major bank and there she was at Lloyd Center buying dime baggies from a drug dealer for her daughter, and it helped her daughter.”

“I just want us to be able to have the time to do this thing right,” Baertlein said. “We regulate where the liquor stores go. We regulate pretty much where drugstores go. We just want to do it right.”

“If it takes a month, well then the moratorium will only be a month,” he said. “But give us the time to sort through it and do it correctly as we move forward.”

The second public hearing on the proposed moratorium is set for April 16, starting at 6:45 p.m. at the Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District’s administrative building and fire hall in Hebo.

A decision could follow that hearing, or could be continued to a later date.

PCJWSA adopts new water leak policy The Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority’s Board of Directors unanimously adopted a new water leak policy during its April 1 meeting that will enable those with qualifying leaks to get credits, an amendment to its earlier policy that held homeowners 100 percent responsible for any additional charges that water leaks result in.

According to the new policy, “a maximum of two leak credit adjustments will be allowed in a five-year policy, per customer, per property. To be eligible for financial relief, the leak must be repaired within 60 days of discovery.”

In addition, credits will only be allowed for excusable defects such as cold weather, corrosion or catastrophic damage to the structure. No allowance will be made for leaky faucets, toilets, and irrigation — water issues that are more observable than something that happens underneath a house. Homeowners will have 120 days following a leak to apply for a credit. Successful applicants will receive a 100 percent credit for bills up to $100, 50 percent credit for bills between $100 and $300 and a 25 percent credit for bills more than $300.

A Plan of Preservation

State Parks hopes to purchase 357-acre Beltz Farm

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

S

outh Tillamook County may soon have a new park if all goes according to plan. Oregon Parks and Recreation Department is working on a proposal to purchase 357-acre Beltz Farm, located on the south side of Sand Lake.

To make it possible, OPRD is working with Ecotrust Forests Management LLC, who recently entered into a purchase and sale agreement with the landowner. According to Jim Morgan, stewardship manager of OPRD, Ecotrust plans to take title on or before May 1.

In a support document for an upcoming April 9 Oregon Parks and Recreation Commission meeting that will be presented by Morgan and Kammie Bunes, Bunes and Morgan say the purchase “is contingent upon satisfactory indication that OPRD intends to acquire the property from Ecotrust. OPRD is negotiating an option agreement with Ecotrust to purchase the property on or before Aug. 30, contingent on completion of an environmental inspection, appraisal, appraisal review and Commission approval in June.”

Morgan, who is in charge of the division that manages both natural resources and acquires property, told the Sun that the purchase is going through Ecotrust first because they are “in a better position to acquire it quickly.”

According to Bunes and Morgan, Beltz Farm “consists of approximately 87 acres of marine and freshwater marsh and 157 acres of dunes and uplands,” as

well as 113 acres of mostly pasture and forest land.

Morgan said that the in-the-works purchase would complete a goal of OPRD that is 15 years in the making. In that time, the agency has tried to purchase the land several times.

“We’re very pleased that it has (become) available,” he told the Sun. “It’s been a target not only for State Parks but many conservation groups. Locals (have indicated they) would like to see it become a state park or at least protected and not developed.”

Morgan also sees it as a good fit, as State Parks already manages nearby Clay Myers State Natural Area. OPRD also owns land on the north side of Sand Lake.

Though he said State Parks hasn’t identified exactly what improvements would be on the new state park, he said the primary purpose is to protect the natural resources found there.

Amongst the features worth preserving, he said, is a freshwater estuary that transitions to a salt water marsh and a dune system with primarily native vegetation. The different level of dunes are well represented on the property as it features dunes with typical beach grass as well as a higher area colonized

by Sitka Spruce and Hemlock. And in between the dunes is a wetland area that Morgan says “forms great habitat for amphibians and wetland plants.

“It’s a pretty rich area in terms of plants and wildlife,” he said. “It has good wildlife viewing. I saw a heard of elk when I was out there a couple weeks ago.”

TPUD Board awards community grants

T

he Tillamook PUD Board of Directors has awarded funding under its 2014 Community Support Grant Program to eight non-profit organizations in Tillamook County — including South Tillamook County’s Nestucca Valley Community Alliance, which received a $5,500 grant.

The TPUD grant to NVCA will help make it possible for the organization to build a community park on the grounds of Tillamook Light Wave’s Pacific City Cable Landing Station. Prior to developing the more than two-acre park, the group must erect a fence to provide security for TLW’s tenant, the University of Washington, which is using the facility for its part in the National Science Foundation’s Ocean Observatory Initiative. The TPUD funds will be used to pave a concrete approach as well as for some of the fence installation labor. NVCA is leasing the property under a low-cost, long-term agreement with TLW. Initially the estimated cost of the project was $27,500, but NVCA president Gloria Scullin is investigating a competing bid to see if that dollar amount can be lowered. The additional funds are coming from a matching donation of $10,500, contributions from funds received from the Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic and from community contributions through the NVCA’s “One Foot At A Time,” fund raising drive.

Community members can sponsor one foot of fence for $25 and will be commemorated with their names on a plaque that will be installed on the premises. Donations will be accepted until April 30. For more information,

visit www.nestucca.org.

Scullin hopes to begin installing the 746-foot chain link fence installed during the month of May. “We are really grateful for the grant,” said Scullin. “We really appreciate their support.”

Others receiving awards were the Marie Mills Center, to assist in the purchase of a bus; Tillamook Senior Citizen’s Club, for building insulation; Friends of North County Recreation District, for Phase 1 of its Auditorium Project; Tillamook Farmers Market, for a sound system; Tillamook Animal Shelter, for a water heater; Tillamook County Master Gardeners, for electrical work at their Demonstration Garden; and Latimer Quilt & Textile Center for window replacements.

Tillamook PUD developed the Community Grant Program to assist local non-profit organizations in funding projects designed to promote economic growth in Tillamook County. In evaluating and selecting projects for funding, the Board focused on the enhancement of economic development, in addition to community livability, financial need and projects that would be completed by the end of the year.

Historically, and by statute, PUDs are formed not only to provide power, but also to promote economic development within their service areas. This is the 13th year the Board has budgeted funds for the community grant program and feedback has been positive. Recipients have reported that in many cases, the PUD grants were instrumental in securing funding from additional sources.

Located at Cape Kiwanda in Pacific City

olk artist David Roth will bring his energetic routine to the Grateful Bread Restaurant & Bakery on Tuesday, April 8 for his 11th annual Pacific City spring performance.

Concert time is 7:30 p.m. and admission is by $15 suggested donation, though no one will be turned away. Fred Bassett and Sonya Kazen will be special musical guests during the show.

Roth has seen his music fly in the space shuttle, and ring out in Carnegie Hall. Still, “The Home of the Dory Fleet” holds a special place in his heart.

More than a concert, each David Roth performance is a new experience. He’s been known to make up a song on the spot based on current events. A spirit of fun is the one constant.

“It’s a little bit like James Taylor meets Jerry Seinfeld with a little bit of Will Rogers thrown in,” he says about his live shows.

With 12 CDs and two songbooks to his credit, the singer, songwriter, recording artist, keynote speaker, workshop leader and instructor has taken his music to a wide variety of venues in the U.S. and abroad for more than 27 years.

A recipient of top honors at premier songwriter competitions in Kerrville, Tex. and Falcon Ridge, N.Y., Roth’s songs (“Rising in Love”, “Earth”, “Manuel Garcia”, “May the Light of Love”, “Nine Gold Medals”, “Spacesuits”, “Rocket Science”, and many more) have found their way to Carnegie Hall, the United Nations, several Chicken Soup for the Soul books, the Kennedy Center, Peter, Paul, & Mary concerts, NASA’s Goddard Space Center (“Rocket Science” went up on the Space Shuttle Atlantis’s May 2009 mission to repair the Hubble Telescope), the classic folk song book “Rise Up Singing”, and numerous CDs on the Wind River and Stockfisch (Germany) labels. Featured on many of Christine Lavin’s Rounder compilations, the former artist-in-residence at New York’s Omega Institute has also been a songwriting judge at Kerrville, Napa Valley (Calif.), Tumbleweed (Wash.), Eventide Arts (Mass.), the Avalon Festival (W. Va.), and the South Florida Folk

Festival. Roth has also taught singing, songwriting, and performance at the Augusta Heritage workshops (W. Va.), Puget Sound Guitar Workshop (Wash.), Common Ground on the Hill (Md.), Rowe Conference Center (Mass.), Swannanoa Gatherings (N.C.), Summersongs (N.Y .and Calif.), Pendle Hill (Pa.), Lamb’s Retreat (Mich.), the Woods Music and Dance Camp (Ontario), Wisconsin Stringalongs, the National Wellness Institute (Wis.), Unity Village (Mont.), and for many other groups and associations around the country.

Bassett, who fondly remembers being invited to perform with Roth a number of years ago, has since become fast friends with Roth, a relationship that the two have cultivated during songwriting workshops across the country.

A Tuneful Trio

Amelia Piano Trio returns to Neskowin Chamber Music Series for April 13 concert

A

favorite of the Neskowin Chamber Music audience — the Amelia Piano Trio returns on April 13 at 3 p.m. for a concert to help celebrate the organization’s 20th season.

The trio, formed in 1999, began to attract national attention after participating in Isaac Stern’s Chamber Music Workshop at Carnegie Hall in 2000.

As a result, Stern became a mentor to the group and presented their debut in Carnegie Hall. From Seattle to New York, they have appeared in many venues around the country. The group was asked by National Public Radio to be Young Ensemble-in-Residence and gave live performances and interviews for a week.

The group has performed in many major halls, including the 92nd Street Y, Carnegie Hall, Ravinia in Chicago, Seattle’s Meany Hall, and the Library of Congress, as well as the Caramoor Music Festival in New York, the La Jolla

Chamber Music Society, NPR’s St. Paul Sunday Radio, Calgary Pro Musica, Merkin Hall, and Barge Music.

Joining the roster of Concert Artists Guild in 2001, the trio went on to win the ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming. They also recorded CD’s with Cedille Records and Naxos.

Based in Corvallis, the Amelia Piano Trio performs both classical pieces and new music in what one critic called “charismatic and extroverted performances.” Members are Anthea Kreston, violin; Jason Duckles, cello; and Andrew Armstrong, piano.

Armstrong joined the group in 2010.

All concerts in the series are held at Camp Winema, three miles north of Neskowin, just west of Highway 101.

Individual tickets are available at the door for $25; call ahead to get on a list.

Season tickets for all the concerts cost $110. For more information, visit www. neskowinchambermusic.org or call 503-965-6499.

AN EASTER EGG HUNT for pre-schoolers through fourth graders will commence at 10 a.m. sharp on April 19 at Nestucca Valley Jr./Sr. High School’s football field.

The Hunt is On Children invited to annual Easter Egg Hunt at Nestucca Jr.-Sr. High School on Saturday, April 19

By VICKY HIRSCH of the Sun

T

he Nestucca Valley Lions Club and the Nesko Women’s Club are joining forces for the second year to provide an Easter Egg hunt for the children of residents and visitors on Saturday, April 19. The hunt will take place on the football field at Nestucca Jr./Sr. High School, 34660 Parkway Dr, in Cloverdale. The hunt takes place at 10 a.m. sharp — don’t be late — the hunt is fast-paced and the eggs go quickly.

The Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District, together with its Volunteer Association, are inviting kids to take their turn with a fire hose in hand as they put out a mock fire at the school beginning at 9 a.m. Lion Verne Mobley said that the fire truck provides an additional picture taking opportunity for parents

and grandparents.

Event organizer Teresa Smith said the eggs will be filled with a variety of items — candy, toys, coupons to local merchants, and select eggs will contain gift coupons for a surprise gift.

Smith said they had 125 children at last year’s event and expect between 125 to 150 this year. She also said they gave away 1,200 eggs at the 2013 Easter egg hunt, and will give away somewhere between 1200 and 1400 eggs this year.

To make the egg gathering more fair amongst the children, they will be divided up into two age groups — five and under and six- to 10-year-olds — to hunt for eggs separately.

The Nestucca Valley Lions Club is accepting donations for the event.

Funds can be sent to Nestucca Valley Lions Club, P.O. Box 177, Cloverdale, OR 97112.

County Commissioner Tim Josi EXPERIENCED: Tillamook County is one of fifteen Oregon counties that deeded their forest lands to the state to be managed on our behalf through a formal trust relationship. Over the years, I have chaired the Council of Forest Trust Land Counties. I work collaboratively with the State to manage our forest so that they provide family wage jobs; revenues for our schools and governmental services; recreational opportunities and habitat for fish and wildlife. I’m also on a national committee that is working to improve forest health and provide family wage jobs from our federal forests. My work is not finished.

PERSONAL: My background is an integral part of who I am as a public servant.

I was raised on a local dairy farm where I learned the value of hard work. I graduated from Oregon State University and shortly thereafter started my own small business as a landscape contractor.

I ran my business for nearly 25 years and managed employees. I utilized my training at OSU to design, bid and contract projects that ranged from private homes to public schools. My six brothers and sisters have always been self-employed. I have two grown children. A little over three years ago, I lost my wife to a sudden illness.

COMMITTED: I love my job. I’m passionate about protecting our rural charm and quality of life. I still have much to do and need your vote on May 20. Please call me with your ideas and concerns. 503-342-3403.

They, along with settlers from the Grand Ronde Settlement, built the trail from Tillamook Bay to Grand Ronde, which led to increased settlement in Hebo.

I

n the spring of 1854, a group of Tillamook men agreed to look for a land route to the Willamette Valley. Supplies reaching Tillamook by sea were unreliable, especially in the winter. Sometimes pioneers lived on potatoes and salmon until a ship could cross the bar at Tillamook with new supplies.

These hardy men walked south from Tillamook on an old Indian trail of 20 miles to the area were Hebo is located today.

They climbed the mountain to the summit at 3,160 feet. This gave them a better understanding of the surrounding country.

A great fire, called the Nestucca Burn, had swept through the area in 1845 from the Willamette Valley to the ocean. It left thousands of dead trees, so the view was quite clear in all directions. From the summit you could see to Tillamook Valley to the northwest and the Grand Ronde settlement to the southeast.

They could see a route for a new trail that would follow a continuous ridge northeasterly to Grand Ronde.

The men then marked logs and snags for the course 30 miles for the trail to Grand Ronde. They made an agreement with the Grand Ronde settlers to help cut the trail from the Willamette Valley end. The Tillamook men started from Tillamook Bay, each group racing to see who would reach the Nestucca River at the village of Hebo first.

The Grand Ronde party reached the Nestucca River first, but they kept working. When the two parties met, there was much excitement. They were now assured a safer, easier route

into the Willamette Valley. As news spread that there was a new trail, men flocked to the area to take up homesteads around Hebo.

The area around Hebo Lake was one of the earliest homestead claims by Bill Kuykendall in 1890. He built a cabin and raised sheep. In 1917, his original homestead claim reverted back to the government under the Homestead Reclamation Act. It has been under the Hebo Ranger District since that time.

This new trail was used by the Tillamook settlers until 1859, when a shorter route was found up the Trask River over the mountains to Yamhill. The Hebo-Grand Ronde trail continued to be used by the Indians from the Grand Ronde reservation in their travel to the Nestucca River to fish.

In 1882, a wagon road was completed from Grand Ronde, down the Little Nestucca River to the Nestucca Valley. Many people now used this improved route.

This old Pioneer-Indian trail was relocated by former Forest Service employee Leonard Whitmore. In 1984, the U.S. Forest service reconstructed part of the trail. You can now hike eight miles of the original trail from Hebo Lake, over the summit of Mt. Hebo ending at South Lake.

A hiker can experience open mountain meadows and heavy forest. It has spectacular views of the cascades in the east and Pacific Ocean to the west. You will be walking on a trail used by the first settlers in Tillamook County The trail is open to hiking and equestrian use only. A Federal annual recreation pass and/or $5 single day pass is required when using the Hebo Lake Trailhead.

FISHING&OUTDOORS

Winter Steelhead season continues to thrive

By PAT GEFRE for the Sun

M

arch was good to us. For the most part we were able to fish a good deal of the month, water levels were acceptable and winter steelhead seemed to be plentiful. April has arrived and there is no reason to expect anything less than we had for March.

Many folks give up on the Nestucca in April — some think winter fishing is over and others start spending their time in the valley fishing for spring chinook in the Columbia and Willamette Rivers.

Many fishermen don’t realize it, but April can be a very good month here on the Nestucca River. Not only are there fair numbers of winter steelhead still arriving, but with many fishermen concentrating on other fisheries, there isn’t as much competition for fishing grounds as there was in February and March.

April 1 marked the opening of springer season on the North Coast, and we are sure to start to see early spring salmon along with a handful of early summer steelhead. It is very early for springers on the North Coast streams; usually we have to wait for May to see some fishable numbers but not always. This may be one of those exception years. The arrival of springers in the North Coast rivers is largely a function of favorable river temperatures. Commercial fishermen are telling me that springers are already showing up in the ocean in pretty good numbers off the mouth of the Nestucca River.

Normally, salmon will stay in the ocean until river temperatures warm up a bit. Usually it takes river temps somewhere close to 50 degrees to get springers moving into the river. Normal river temps for this time of year are 44 to 46 degrees while the ocean will be around 48 degrees. Salmon will prefer the warmer ocean until the Nestucca River warms up to at least ocean temperature. This year, we have had very little snow in the mountains and with lower amounts of snow melt and some predicted warmer

spring temperatures this could all add up to an early spring chinook fishery. Currently, the Willamette and Columbia Rivers have been high and off color, and not much is happening with the spring salmon fishery in the valley — this should be an added opportunity to fish the Nestucca for winter steelhead until things improve inland.

This is just a great time of year to be on the coast.

The weather is getting better, water conditions are better for river fishing, all the local lakes are fully stocked with rainbow trout, and clamming tides are getting better as spring and summer approach. Crabbing is starting to improve in the local bays as well as fishing for perch off the local beaches. It won’t be long before the ocean will settle down from its angry winter waters, and there will be lots of dory fishermen out fishing for bottom fish.

Hebo, Town, and South Lakes have all been stocked and are offering fun opportunities for all ages to catch an easy limit of trout. Hebo Lake is especially kid friendly with a walking trail completely around the lake and five recently built fishing docks.

Kids love to catch the plentiful salamanders that are abundant all around the lake when they get bored with fishing. I like to watch the osprey once they have discovered the lake has been stocked with trout. They are very majestic, flying high around the lake making a sound I can imitate with a whistle, until they spot and target a fish. At high altitude they fold their wings and dive straight down, “splash” under the water, surfacing with a trout in their talons and off they go to feed babies in a nest somewhere. Ospreys nest in the same nests from year to year. Each successive year they expand and enlarge their nest. I have observed osprey nests near my former home on the Clackamas River and over several years watched one that started out about four feet in diameter grow to nearly 12 feet within a few years. I have also noted that once osprey nests reach a larger size they will contain more than one pair of adults who will often share the raising of more than one family in a single nest.

OBITUARIES

CAROLE MOOMAW SCHONS

Carole Moomaw Schons Carole Moomaw Schons passed away March 24 surrounded by her family. She was 95.

She was born in Hubbard, Ore. on Nov. 5, 1918. Schons was raised on the family farm, which influenced her love of the outdoors — a love that lasted for her entire life. Raising her three boys was her life’s work and she loved them with total devotion.

Often described by family as everyone’s favorite, she had grace, humor and an unassuming demeanor. She loved riding tractors, her four-wheeler and horses, knitting and polishing agates, but her true love was her family.

For the past 12 years she has divided her time living with her sons and their families in Pacific City, Ore. and Bend, Ore. She has left behind sons, Greg, Doug, and Jeff, daughters-in-law, Vickee and Mary; grandchildren Michele, Angela, Julie and Peter as well as many great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband Pete Schons and siblings Jack Moomaw, Iris Hixson and Max Moomaw.

Carole was deeply loved and will be forever missed. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Pelican Pub & Brewery in Pacific City April 5 at 11 a.m. All who knew her are invited to attend.

It’s One Step at a Time

Young Bobcats in learning mode as they fall to 1-4 on the season

By DEE MOORE for the Sun

aseball requires a Zen mentality. It’s 80 percent mental and 20 percent physical according to Nestucca head coach Jim Kiser. Teaching the art of thinking baseball is much harder than teaching the art of playing baseball.

And that’s one reason why Nestucca has so far only won one out of five games; a 4-1 victory against Willamina.

Their most recent setback was on April 1 when the Vernonia Loggers bested the ‘Cats, 8-1.

But, you have to start somewhere, their coach maintains.

“Jacob Menefee pitched a heck of a game for us, really locked them up.

We played pretty good defense behind him,” Kiser said. The senior pitched all seven innings of the game.

What is failing is the team’s offense.

“Well, we are still really young.

We’ve got three to four kids that played at the varsity level,” Kiser said.

The 13 member team is made up of underclassmen who are new to the game.

“It will take a little while,” he said.

“We took a lot of pitches we could of hit and took a lot of strikes; its all youth,” Kiser said of the Vernonia game.

Meaning they are swinging at most anything that gets near the plate, they over throw or under throw the ball; still

THE NESTUCCA BOBCATS fell to 1-4 after dropping an April 1 contest to the Vernonia Loggers, 8-1. Above, Bobcats’ second and third basemen try to catch a Vernonia player before he makes it back to second base. often forgetting to step into the swing or the ball rather than shirk from it.

“You’ve got to play it loose,” the coach said.

The 2014 Nestucca Bobcat team is made up of mostly sophomores and freshmen, inexperienced players facing opposing teams with more experienced juniors and seniors who have often played the game through the majority of their high school careers.

Still, they are starting to come together as a team, to work in concert, and to show some hustle on the field.

Two seniors, shortstop Max Kirkendall and Menefee, are providing the leadership and experience that the group needs to become a team.

“Max and Jacob have been strong for us,” Kiser said. “They’ve played a heck of a lot of baseball. It’s a great group of kids; they are always supportive of each other.”

It just takes time to transform youthful exuberance into experience.

Nestucca will travel to Vernonia for a double header on Friday, April 4. The first game will start at 3 p.m.

THOUGH THE LADY BOBCATS have lost all four games they have played thus far, they are improving their game and are gaining much needed experience. The team scored the most runs they’ve yet to earn in a single game against the Vernonia Lady Loggers on Tuesday, April 1, but lost 16-4. Coach Jeff Schiewe says the only thing holding the team back is their youth and inexperience. “We are young and we are improving,” he said. “It was our best game. The girls are gaining confidence. Kycie Richwine and Emily Menefee have been pitching well and Sunny McCall has been hitting with great power.” The team travels to Vernonia for a double header on Friday, April 4. The first game starts at 3 p.m.
