NEWS&COMMUNITY Spreading Christmas cheer to the needy The Nesko Women’s Club and Nestucca Valley Lions Club are on the hunt for a few helping hands as the two organizations once again ramp up efforts for the South Tillamook County Christmas Basket program, an attempt to spread a little holiday cheer to families that are struggling financially. Volunteers are invited to help out during the program’s basket assembly week, Dec. 16-19, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at the
Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District administrative center and fire hall in Hebo. Fire Chief Kris Weiland, who is coordinating the Lions part of the effort, says delivering and loading help is also needed on distribution day, Friday, Dec. 20. For more information, contact event publicity chair Marlys McNeill at 503-951-2478 or Fire Chief Kris Weiland at 503-392-3313.

Commercial Dungeness season opens Dec. 16 Fresh Dungeness crab is back on the menu for holiday feasts after fishery managers determined the fishery was ready to open Dec. 16 on the Oregon Coast. The commercial Dungeness crab season on the Oregon coast is scheduled to open Dec. 1 each year, but was delayed this year because crab on some parts of the coast did not measure up during pre-season testing. The testing measures the percentage of meat in the crab, by weight, and is used to ensure a high-quality product for consumers. Delaying the season allowed the crab to fill with meat. Coast-wide crab quality testing showed all areas now meet minimum test criteria. Fishery managers from Oregon, Washington and California met today and mutually decided to open commercial crabbing from the Oregon-California border to Klipsan Beach, Wash., on Dec. 16. Commercial crabbers are allowed to set their gear three days before the season opens, so ocean watchers will see the lights of crab boats off most of the coast as early as Dec. 13. Recreational harvest of Dungeness crab in the ocean off Oregon opened as scheduled on Dec. 1. The recreational harvest of Dungeness crab in Oregon’s bays and estuaries is open year round.

House fire leaves family in need of financial help A Dec. 5 home fire in Hebo has left a family in need. Blasé and Wendy Ihnat’s two-story house was consumed by fire in what Nestucca Fire Chief Kris Weiland describes as an accidental fire. The district fought the blaze from noon to 5 p.m. Two engines and 10 fire district personnel worked the scene. Because the house was fully involved when the district arrived, it is believed to be a total loss. To help the Ihnat family of four get back on their feet, the Pacific City branch of Oregon Coast Bank has opened up an account that community members can contribute to. Donations can be dropped by the branch or mailed to Oregon Coast Bank, P.O. Box 398, Pacific City, OR 97135. At press time an exact cause of the fire had not been determined.

Funding the Arts Community Arts Project awarded $2,000 for its Art Literacy program
T
he Tillamook County Cultural Coalition announced on Dec. 10 that the Community Arts Project was one of five organizations that will split a total of $7,375 in grant awards, funds designed to assist cultural projects in Tillamook County. CAP was awarded $2,000 to assist in its Art Literacy Program at Nestucca Valley Elementary School and Garibaldi Grade School. CAP’s Art Literacy Program provides a once a month art lesson to both schools free of charge. Each lesson features educational elements that include art history, techniques and famous artists. The students then get to put that new knowledge to the test as they try their hand at making art in the style of the artist that the program is featuring that month. This year’s program includes Suminagashi printmaking (a Japanese technique); handmade sketchbooks and greeting cards using Photo courtesy of Kim Cavatorta the Suminagashi prints; French NESTUCCA STUDENT Perry Reeder paints an art project inspired by the work of Anna painter Joan Miró and paintMarie Robertson Moses, better known as “Grandma Moses” during a monthly Art Literacy ing with color, line, and shape; Program class at Nestucca Valley Elementary School.

Groundfish regulations set for recreational, commercial fisheries The Fish and Wildlife Commission, during a Dec. 6 meeting in Portland, set harvest specifications and season structure for recreational groundfish and commercial nearshore species. Seasons will be very similar to last year. The recreational cabezon season is scheduled to be open July 1 - Dec. 31 or until quota is met.
Also approved was funding for two Access and Habitat projects, which improve wildlife habitat or hunting access on private land. The commission also heard a briefing on the Cougar Management Plan and a summary of actions implemented since it was first adopted in 2005. In addition, they adopted additional rule
language related to passage of HB 2252, which will enable non-resident members of the Uniformed Services to purchase licenses, tags, and permits at resident rates beginning in the 2014 season. The Commission is the policy-making body for fish and wildlife issues in the state and usually meets every month. The next meeting is Jan. 10 in Salem.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is reminding sport and commercial anglers that harvest restrictions at two marine reserve sites, Cape Perpetua and Cascade Head, will take effect Jan. 1, 2014. The new rules prohibit harvest activities, such as fishing and crabbing, within the boundaries of the marine reserves, and are similar to harvest restrictions already in effect at the Otter Rock and Redfish Rocks marine reserve sites. To help commercial fishermen plot the boundaries of all the marine reserve sites, ODFW and the Oregon State Police will be distributing electronic thumb drives during this season’s crab hold inspections. The thumb drives include the boundary coordinates for each site, as well as directions for installing the boundary coordinates on to a plotter. Anglers can view and print a summary of the harvest rules, with maps and boundaries, for the marine reserve sites on the Oregon marine reserve website at www.oregonocean.info/marinereserves/rules. Similar information is also available in the recently released 2014 Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations. For more information about Oregon’s marine reserves and the related harvest restrictions, call ODFW’s Newport Office at 541-8674741.

WINTER MADE AN EARLY APPEARANCE at the “Home of the Dory Fleet,” starting with snow showers on Friday, Dec. 6 and was accompanied by temperatures as low as 20 degrees. Temperatures hovered between the mid-20s to high-30s before finally reaching 40 degrees on Dec. 11. The uncommonly cold weather caused the Nestucca Valley School District to close on Dec. 6 and start the day two hours late on Dec. 10. Superintendent Kathryn Hedrick reported that the school district had minor freezing of pipes and a vent at the high school froze, resulting in cold air being pulled into the system, which froze the coils/heat exchange in the gym. Homes were affected, too. Pacific City Water Joint Sanitary Authority Manager Tony Owen said they turned off water at 20-30 homes where pipes were freezing, which included some broken pipes and leaks.

began playing open mics and launched his singing and song-writing projects. While his original works sported a rock and blues influence, his more recents songs have a bluesy-jazz style. Walter Fields also began to play guitar at a young age – 12 years old. Influenced by bands like Moody Blues, The Beatles, Chicago, and Santana, he played bass guitar in his first band during high school. His recent musical revival began around two years ago, which he credits to the open mics of the Portland area and the graciousness of open mic hosts such as MacDonald.

Something to Spout Off About

WANT to learn to speak whale? The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department’s semi-annual Whale Watch Week, Dec. 26-31, 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, 693 visitors caught sight of 40 whales from the site and the 2012 winter whale watch week saw 187 visitors see 26 whales. Coast wide, the 2012 winter whale watch attracted 6,992 visitors catching glimpses of 1,037 breeching and spouting whales. For more information on the 2013 winter whale watching week, visit www.whalespoken.org.

For the Love of Country Nestucca students capture 10 Voice of Democracy awards By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun
T
en Nestucca High students were awarded Voice of Democracy certificates of merit on Thursday, Dec. 5 during an assembly at the school by representatives from the Bay City chapter of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The Voice of Democracy competition is a national program that VFW has held since 1947. As the organization’s primary scholarship program, VFW will award a total of $2.3 million in scholarships and incentives in the coming year. More than 50,000 students are expected to compete. Top prize is $30,000 for the national award winner. This year’s theme, for which students wrote papers and recorded their prose for judging, is “Why I am Optimistic About Our Nation’s Future.” Students were judged for their originality, their delivery and the essay’s content. In the district competition, Nestucca students beat out all other Tillamook County

At Nestucca, first place went to Marissa Dempsey, who was tops in the district and will compete Jan. 24-25 at the Portland Shilo Inn for state honors. Aidan Case and Ty Elliot, took second and third, respectively. VFW will pay for a hotel accommodations for Dempsey and her parents for her effort. “She’s done quite well for herself,” said Anita Hanakahi, president of the VFW Ladies Auxiliary, Post 2848. Other winners included Jillian Wilkinson, Kat Sutton, Chyanne Reid, Shanna Cox, Jenni Green, Kole Brunkow, and Eric Reddekopp. All students were students of Nestucca High English teacher Kathleen Serven, who is teaching sophomores and seniors this year. Though she made it an assignment to write the topical essay, she gave students the option to enter the contest. “It’s neat for the kids to have the opportunity,” she said. “It instills patriotism.”

A Season of Celebration
Local churches plan to commemorate Christmas with variety of worship services and events 101, WiNeMa Christian Church, 5195 WiNeMa Road, will host a Christmas Eve service on Dec. 24 at 7 p.m. featuring carols, a candle lighting and communion service. The celebrations will continue north of Pacific City, too. Cloverdale Baptist Church, 34464 Bridge St., will hold its annual Family Christmas on Dec. 22, starting at 11 a.m. The service will feature traditional Christmas songs and a non-traditional flavor of worship. “Since worship is what a person brings to God, we are inviting anyone who comes to bring personal worship in the form of solos, group singing, instrumentals, poetry, stories, or for those who want to participate but don’t sing, there will be a selection of Scripture from the Bible to be read,” said Pastor Randy Winesburgh. Want to show your Christmas fashion sense? Hebo Christian Center is inviting the public to show their stuff at an “Ugly Christmas Sweater Party” from 6-9 p.m. on Dec. 22. And in Beaver, Beaver Community Church, 24675 Highway 101, welcomes all to a Christmas Eve candlelight service, 7-8 p.m. on Dec. 24. Information on Christmas services at the remaining South Tillamook County churches was not available at press time. For contact information for additional churches serving the area’s Bible-believing public, see the Sun’s church directory on page 19.

The holiday season may be a time to gather with family and friends around your Christmas tree for gifts and good cheer, but there’s more to the celebration. Local community churches are gearing up to celebrate the reason for the season and want you to be a part of the celebration of the birth of the Christ child. In Pacific City, the town’s two churches both are offering services that are open to the public. At Nestucca Valley Presbyterian Church, 35305 Brooten Road, two “special” services will be offered. They will host a candlelight service on Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, at 5 p.m. and a carol singing service on Sunday, Dec. 29 at 10 a.m. Just down the street, Pacific Coast Bible Church, 35220 Brooten Road, promises an early chance to celebrate the birth of Jesus. They will hold a Christmas candlelight service on Dec. 20, at 6:30 p.m. And the opportunities to reconnect with the reason for the season don’t diminish once you venture outside “The Home of the Dory Fleet.” Just south of the Pacific City/ Highway 101 junction rests Oretown’s Healing Waters Bible Church, 41505 Oretown Road East, which will host “Merry Christ-Mess!...Beyond Time,” on Dec. 14, starting at 7 p.m. The Christmas play will share the message that “only God can turn a mess into a message.” Healing Waters will also host a candlelight service on Dec. 22 at 6 p.m. Further south, just off Highway

A Testament to the Tributaries By SALLY RISSEL for the Sun
T
here are dozens of creeks that flow into the rivers of Tillamook County. Many are named for homesteaders that first settled nearby. As you cross over bridges on the Big and Little Nestucca, signs often indicate the name of the creek. I researched some of the creeks that I often see in South Tillamook County in the Oregon Geographic Names book by McArthur and here is some of that information. Bible Creek flows into the Big Nestucca and was named by A.S. Bible. He was born in Tennessee in 1834 and came and established a store in Sheridan and Willamina in 1879. He retired to his ranch in 1898, which was near the Tillamook and Yamhill county line. Farmer Creek flows into the Nestucca River between Hebo and Beaver. It is named for A.D. Farmer, who owned a nearby 160-acres farm. Foland Creek flows into the Nestucca River near Beaver. It was named by Merriman Foland, who settled nearby in 1880s. George Creek was named for George Bodyfelt, who homesteaded the surrounding land. It is north of Hebo. Kingston Creek is a tributary of Neskowin Creek. Paul Kingston was an early settler and lived near the site of Old Neskowin Forest Camp. Moon Creek flows into the Big Nestucca and was named for John Moon. Prospect Creek flows into Neskowin Creek. Early settler Ralph Sutton said it was named for a cowboy who claimed to have discovered gold nearby. A company was organized, stock sold, furnace built and then bankruptcy filed. Rover Creek empties into the Pacific Ocean one mile south of Cape Lookout on Camp Meriwether, which is owned by the Boy Scouts. It was named for a
group of Rover Scouts who had camped on its banks. Saling Creek was named by William Saling, who homesteaded there in 1892. It flows into the Nestucca River a mile below Beaver. Neskowin Creek flows into the Pacific Ocean in front of Proposal Rock. It was first called Slab Creek. The origin of the name Slab Creek comes from a huge deposit of slab wood that was deposited on the beach near the creek mouth when a sailing vessel ran aground in 1886. Sloan Creek is a tributary of Neskowin Creek and was named by John Sloan, who patented the land in 1901. Smith Creek flows into the Nestucca River north of Cloverdale near Gist Road. It was named for Lester P. Smith, who settled there in 1890. On earlier maps it was called Sander Creek. Stillwell Creek flows into the Little Nestucca one mile below Dolph. It was named for Fred Stillwell, who was an early USFS ranger. Testament Creek flows into the Nestucca River and was thought to just have the name because of its association with Bible Creek. Tony Creek is a tributary of the Nestucca River named for early resident Antone “Tony” Dolesauer. West Creek near Beaver is named for local settler Walter West. Some other local creeks that may have just gotten their name from the appearance of the creek are Clear Creek off Jenck Road and Sand Creek, which runs through Woods. Others that I am still researching are Horn Creek, Bun Creek, Porter, Hamilton, Hartney, Farland and Pole Creek. Are there any other creeks I have missed in South Tillamook County? If you can share any information about these creek names, I would appreciate it. I always welcome corrections and additions for my history columns. Send corrections to heronlanding123@gmail.com.
