Carbaugh highlights summer construction plans By DEE MOORE for the Sun

acific City can expect to have part of Brooten Road rebuilt and repaved this summer, Tillamook County Roads Advisory Committee member Paul Carbaugh told community members Saturday, Feb. 8 at the monthly Pacific City-Woods Community Action Committee meeting. A 2.2-mile section of the road, from Highway 101 to Fisher Bridge, will be restored to pristine condition. According to Carbaugh the project “was top priority” following the passage of the $15 million Tillamook County General Obligation road bond. The road is in poor shape with sections of the road’s foundation needing a complete rebuild, Carbaugh indicated. According to Tillamook County Public Works director Liane Welch, this rebuild is referred to in civil engineering circles as a “full depth reclamation,” which involves grinding up the pavement and pouring concrete into the foundation which will then be topped with a one inch pre-level and a twoinch overlay. Construction dates have not been finalized for the project, which has yet to go to bid, Welch said. “The bid will come out this March and we will begin prep work in the middle of March,” Welch said. “The summer paving season begins July 1.” At least one lane of the road will remain open during construction with

Those wishing to circumvent the short delay can choose to get to the community by either Resort Drive or by way of Terra del Mar. “We would not be able to do this without the bond,” she said.

Nestucca Fire discusses new take on volunteer compensation By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

estucca Fire Rural Protection District’s army of volunteers donate countless hours and resources, pay for their own gas and sacrifice lots of time with their families. And for that, the district wants to give the crew a small financial token in return. Nestucca Fire’s Board of Directors discussed some of the issues behind such a policy during its monthly meeting on Feb. 12. No decision was made at the meeting, but the Board will take up the issue again during their March board meeting. Since November, staff, the Board of Directors and members of the Volunteer Association have discussed what the framework of compensation should be. An earlier proposal included a “points” proposal, which would have rewarded volunteers for responding to calls and filing the appropriate reports. But a $300,000 fine that Marion County Fire District 1 was levied — that district had a similar “points” policy — has caused the board to rethink. The problem, Nestucca Fire Training Officer Jim Oeder told the Sun, is that rules forbid paying volunteers more than 20 percent of the hourly rate of the lowest paid full-time firefighter. In the case of a points system, because Nestucca Fire Photo by Tim Hirsch had proposed a fixed amount of points for all calls, it is possible a volunteer could NESTUCCA FIRE CHIEF Kris Weiland says the district is looking earn enough points to earn more than 20 at a new system of compensating volunteers for their efforts and percent of a firefighter salary for any given sacrifices.

Proper The new proposal, which the board plans to review paperwork from calls is crucial in Nestucca’s attempt at their March 12 meeting, is for the district to add to achieve a more favorable insurance rating. That said, Weiland made the point that such motivation isn’t $6,000 to the $12,000 previously set aside and then give volunteers set monthly contributions.

The Weather vs. The Arts ‘Heart’s Desire’ rescheduled to March 15 thanks to snow storm By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

ne of Pacific City’s biggest snowstorms in memory, which hampered motorists from Feb. 6-9, caused more than a few travel headaches — but it also meant postponed performances for several events and a new venue for one, too. Included in the postponements was one of the area’s most well-attended traditions, “Your Heart’s Desire: A Celebration of Chocolate, Wine and Art,” a Valentine-themed fundraiser for the Community Arts Project. Originally scheduled for Feb. 8, the event will now take place on March 15. The event location, Kiawanda Community Center, and schedule of events will remain the same. Event organizer Kim Cavatorta said Heart’s Desire was rescheduled out of concern for the many revelers that travel to the event. “We didn’t want anyone traveling to the event with the possibility of getting hurt,” Cavatorta told the Sun. “I feel like it was the right decision. There was no way we could do it with all the beautiful snow.” Though she regrets having to cancel the original date, she said she is thankful it didn’t have to be postponed too far in the future. Watch for the March 7 issue of the Sun for full coverage of the rescheduled event. “We are feeling very hopeful that everyone that was planning to come to the event will still come,” she added. “We’re still very committed (to the event) and have some fun things planned. There’s going to be some beautiful artwork.” A second art event that was rescheduled because

of road conditions was an “after hours” performance at Stimulus Cafe by musician Eric Sappington. Originally scheduled for Feb. 7, the folk artist will now perform at Stimulus on March 7, 6-8 p.m. “It was bad timing,” said Pelican Pub & Brewery and Stimulus general manager Ken Henson about the cold snap. “The roads made it treacherous not only for Eric (Sappington) to try and play, but for any of our guests to get out and about. We rescheduled Eric in an effort to make sure people have something to do in Pacific City — hopefully it won’t be snowing this time around.” With the storm winding down and snow melting on Sunday, Feb. 9, the show went on for the Neskowin Chamber Music Series’ planned concert featuring pianist Yael Weiss and violinist Mark Kaplan. However, a change of venue to Nestucca Valley Presbyterian Church was necessary as the company scheduled to transport the piano that was to be rented from Portland was unable to make the trek from the Valley. Despite the weather, event director Frances Madachy told the Sun the concert attracted a full house, albeit a smaller one as NVPC doesn’t hold quite as many as Wi-Ne-Ma Chapel. She believes this is the first time that the music series had to move to a different venue. “I don’t know how the performers got here,” Madachy added. “They got here at 1:30 a.m. Sunday morning and said that it was the worst drive they’d done in their lives — and they grew up in northern New York state. It’s usually pretty bad out there.” She applauded NVPC for making the accommodations saying the church has “always been good to us during emergencies.”

Salmon Group to meet Feb. 27 to discuss fisheries The Ocean Salmon Industry Group will hold a meeting on Thursday, Feb. 27 to review 2013 ocean fisheries. Held at the Hallmark Resort (Salon RoomDownstairs), 744 SW Elizabeth Street, Newport, from 9:30 to 3:30 p.m., the meeting will bring together ocean commercial troll and ocean recreational fishermen, Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife staff, Oregon State Police staff, Oregon representatives to the Pacific Fishery Management Council and other interested parties. In addition to the 2013 review of ocean fisheries, the group will address 2013 salmon spawner escapements and 2014 Coho & Chinook abundance forecasts, as well as discuss sideboards, guidelines, and issues affecting the upcoming 2014 salmon season structure. Organizers are billing the meeting as a good opportunity for the ocean commercial troll and ocean recreational fishermen to provide their input to the Oregon representatives on the PFMC to help develop Oregon preferred options for the upcoming 2014 season. Also on the agenda will be a presentation by Darus Peake, Oregon Salmon Commission representative

on the Oregon Hatchery Research Center Board, who will report on the activities of the OHRC. Relating to the Center and its activities, a team of scientists last year presented evidence of a correlation between the migration patterns of ocean salmon and the Earth’s magnetic field, suggesting it may help explain how the fish navigate across thousands of miles of water to find their river of origin. A study, funded by Oregon Sea Grant and the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife, will be published this month in the forthcoming issue of “Current Biology.” This meeting is co-sponsored annually by the ODFW and Oregon Coastal Zone Management Association and has been held since the mid 1980s. A lunch is scheduled at noon on the lower lobby off the Salon Room. Those planning on the $15 lunch should contact OCZMA executive assistant Georgia York at 541-265-8918 by Feb. 24. She can also be contacted via email at georgia@oczma.org. For more information, call Eric Shindler, of ODFW, at 541-867-0300, extension 252, or York at 541-2658918.

Nestucca considering bringing back alternative school program By DEE MOORE for the Sun

hanks to a more secure budget, the Nestucca Valley School Board is considering bringing back the alternative high school program to help at-risk students graduate, according to high school principal and district facilitator, Randy Wharton. Though discussed at two meetings and favored by many, it has yet to be approved. The plan is still in the planning stages, Wharton said. The alternative school program focuses on helping students who have poor attendance records or who do not have enough class credits to graduate. The original program was cut several years back due to budgetary woes. “The budget now is pretty stable and we are beginning to add back programs that were cut a few years ago,” Wharton said. One such luxury was having a student counselor available all day to meet with students at the junior and senior high school whenever there was a need. The position was cut because of the budget short fall. With the economy stabilizing and the district’s budget increasing that position was filled last year. Wharton hopes that the alternative school program can follow suit. Through the lean years, the district has sent at-risk students to Tillamook to participate in that school district’s Tillamook Options Program School (TOPS). At $7,000 a seat per student, the NVSD has only been able to afford five seats a year. According to Wharton, not only will the district save money if the NVHS alternative school program is allowed to start up again, the program can reach

more students and hopefully have greater success. So far, none of the NVHS students who have attended TOPS have graduated from the program. Still, that is not necessarily a failure of TOPS, says Wharton. “I don’t know that that is unique to TOPS. Public education in its form today does not reach all students; it does not work for all of them,” he said. But it would definitely help having students with teachers who know them and have firsthand knowledge of the youths’ learning needs. The first step in helping these students graduate is determining the problem and then addressing it. The goal is always to keep them in the classroom with their peers. “We try everything — such as the online Odyssey education software program, and we have a student assistance program,” he said. This program is made up of teaching professionals who focus on students who are slipping through the cracks or who — for one reason or another — do not do well in a normal classroom setting. If none of these measures work then at-risk NVHS students go to TOPS. If approved, Wharton hopes that the program will be able to use current teachers, as hiring a highly qualified teacher who would teach all the necessary subject matter and run the program would be expensive. Though the budget is stable, the district isn’t flush with cash and cost saving measures will continue to remain in place and all expenses will need to be justified. Wharton hopes that, if implemented, at some point the program will be expanded to also serve junior high students. Meanwhile, the school board will continue to discuss the matter and consider all options as they weigh student needs, program costs and budget constraints.

A Super Saturday for 4-Hers 4-H members, their parents and leaders are encouraged to attend 4-H Super Saturday to learn new skills. School-age youth who would like to join 4-H are also welcome to attend.

Participants will choose one class during each time period, meaning attendees can pick up to three different classes. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. and is first-come, first-serve basis. Some classes have limited enrollment. There is no registration fee and supplies will be provided. The first session will begin at 9 a.m. and the final session will conclude at noon.

FISHING&OUTDOORS

Wet and chilly conditions put damper on steelhead fishing By PAT GEFRE for the Sun

et! Wet! Wet! We went from no water for several weeks, to snow, and now the rains just won’t stop! Listening to the pundits on the local weather channels over the last two days, I hear them keep saying the rain is over, and, for the last two days, we were supposed to be in a drying trend. The next morning they come on and say “wet, wet, wet” as if yesterday’s report doesn’t exist. I think it is a way of mind control, conditioning if you will, to forget anything anyone said yesterday. It would be very convenient for government if no one could remember what politicians said yesterday and they could use weather persons to start the conditioning process. Wait! That already happens. Yes, I know this is supposed to be an outdoor report. Fishing for winter steelhead has been a test of patience for many. Most of the season, from mid-December to date, has been very disappointing. No water marked the middle of December. With water conditions super low and super clear one had to approach steelhead as if they were summer fishing. Light lines, small baits, staying back from the edge of the water, and presentation was everything. Some were frustrated at the techniques of others. For example, when a fisherman was staying out of the water and standing back from the edge so as not to spook steelhead, proper fishing etiquette would dictate that you walk behind the other fisherman not disturbing his fishing space. Not many seem to respect that — in fact, many would just wade down the stream in front of the fisherman, oftentimes disturbing the fishing hole or wading right where the fish should be laying, thus ruining any chance of taking fish unaware of your presence. Not only was the water low and clear but very cold as well. Colder waters make steelhead lethargic and most of the time non-biters. Then the snow comes! Road conditions were bad for several days and folks couldn’t get here to fish. Many phone calls about road and fishing conditions told of lots of desire to be here, but the reality was conditions were just too bad for travel. Not to mention most of the boat launches were either blanketed in snow or covered by ice. It’s not a pretty picture seeing your boat, trailer and towing rig disappear under the water on the boat launch. Don’t laugh — it has happened —and to some folks who knew better! Currently, the rains have been substantial, bringing with them snow melt and high waters that just won’t go away.

Every day we get a new heavy rainstorm that keeps pushing the rivers of the Northwest Coast above fishing levels. The waters are muddy and not safe for drifting in a boat. The only thing left to do is be a plunker. Lots of old timers remember the days of old when plunking shacks used to be all up and down the lower Nestucca River. I’m not sure why they don’t exist any more, but they don’t. These used to be places where many folks came together and sat around a wood stove to keep warm in a small old shack on the waters edge. Maybe playing cards or just hashing over current events while they had their rods secured in rod holders with bells on the ends to alert anyone if a steelhead was taking the bait. Out of the weather and staying warm, fishermen could fish the Nestucca in almost any conditions. Maybe because of floods or maybe because of current building codes or environmental regulation, I don’t know the reason, but these old fishing shacks just aren’t around any more. Looking ahead, we still have an opportunity for winter steelhead fishing. Eventually, river levels will become fishable, and we still have well into April for winter fishing. With the best months for winter steelheading being February and March, there will still be lots of good fishing ahead. The really big Nestucca steelhead usually began showing up in March. This is when the chances of catching steelhead more than 15 pounds and up to 20-plus pounds will be at its best. The Nestucca has a reputation for putting out some monster steelhead in March and it attracts the attention of anglers from many places in the USA. We just received from ODFW the 2014 fish stocking schedule for Hebo Lake and South Lake on Mount Hebo and Town Lake in Pacific City. All three lakes will receive their first stocking of the year the week of March 17. For South Lake, it will be weather permitting as in past years there has been too much snow to get to the lake, only time will tell. Hebo Lake is set to receive 4,000 rainbow trout, Town Lake 5,000 trout and South Lake 3,000 trout. They will be stocked again the week of April 14, with Hebo Lake getting another 3,000 fish, Town Lake an additional 2,000 fish and another 2,750 fish for South Lake. This is a great time to get kids involved in fishing. The access is easy — especially at Hebo Lake with all the new fishing docks, and fishing is usually pretty good with folks getting limits in just a couple hours. That’s important when trying to keep youngsters’ attention focused on fishing.

DANA HULBURT’S March exhibit at Stimulus Espresso Cafe will be feted during a March 1 artist reception from 6-8 p.m.

From the Beach to the Easel Stimulus to host artist Dana Hulburt on March 1

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

or Pacific City painter Dana Hulburt, there’s not much that can match the beauty of the shells of the sea — and so it’s fitting that seashells found right here on our unspoiled beaches serve as inspiration for her latest work. Hulburt’s month-long exhibit at Stimulus Espresso Cafe will be feted on March 1 when the cafe hosts the painter during an artist reception from 6-8 p.m. The art show, which will run through the month of March, will feature a variety of shell-inspired acrylic paintings, art she says is also inspired by her recent reading of Georgia O’Keefe’s biography. “I enjoy looking at the colors of the shells you find on the beach,” she says. “I like the worn look of them and the colors you find on them. I try to bring forth the nature I see in the shells through my

paintings.” Hulburt’s work has been featured at several local venues including Grateful Bread, the 2012 Nestucca Valley Artisans Show, Stimulus, Oregon Coast Bank-Pacific City branch, and Thomas Goodwin Gallery, as well as at Orchards Bistro in McMinnville and at the Wallowa Festival of Arts in Joseph, Ore. The artist also specializes in Telamadera Fusion, a technique involving wood burning a design, painting the spaces of the artwork and then ironing fabric on top. A Nestucca Valley Elementary School kindergarten teacher for more 20 years, Hulburt minored in art while working on her education degree at Western Oregon University, but only recently got serious about her painting. She picked up the medium about 2 1/2 years ago. “I just like being in nature and sharing what I observe through paint and color,” she says.

ERIC SAPPINGTON will play an “After Hours” concert March 7 from 6-8 p.m at Stimulus Espresso Cafe, 33105 Cape Kiwanda Drive in Pacific City. He and his wife Molly have performed as the duo Mercury Coast for 20 years. Though he still pulls material from the three CDs the couple released between 1999 and 2008, recently Sappington has been performing as a solo act. Drawing inspiration from all over the map — including the likes of Elvis and the sounds of the 60s — he says his sound boils down to what he describes as “ambient folk music.” For more information, call Stimulus Cafe at 503-965-4661 or visit www.stimuluscafe.com.

hat’s life without a little mountain to climb? For runners — and walkers, too — looking for a challenge to start their spring training off on the right foot, the first-ever Three Capes Relay might just be the event to test their fitness. Held on March 1, the new event, which will start next to Cape Meares Lake and finishes across the street from Cape Kiwanda at Pacific City’s Webb Park, is a five-leg marathon relay with each portion offering different levels of difficulty and their own unique scenery — a format that race director Patrick Zweifel hails as perfect for assembling a team of varied skill levels and fitness. Traveling along the famed Three Capes Scenic Loop, the race starts with a 4.47-mile leg that gets underway at the intersection of Bayocean Road NW and Bayshore Drive. Its a leg that promises a 600-foot, 6 percent grade climb and is rated as “very difficult.” This initial section boasts views of Cape Meares National Wildlife Refuge and Three Arch Rock National Wildlife Refuge. It will also take runners past Cape Meares State Park and finish in Oceanside where the slightly easier second leg takes runners on the next stretch. This shortest of the five legs takes runners along 4.11 miles of rolling hills punctuated by two category 5 climbs. The third leg, which is rated the hardest with an “extremely difficult” designation, is the second longest at 6.35 miles. Though flat for the first 3.5 miles, this section, which features views of Netarts Bay, owes its challenging rating to an 800-foot climb in the second half. The easiest stretch of the course takes over at the summit of Cape Lookout Road, where leg four participants can take advantage of a 600foot drop in elevation. Finishing at Sand

Lake Store, this section takes runners through the dunes of Sand Lake. For the race’s last hurrah, competitors will face a relatively easy 7.02 miles — the stretch is rated as “moderately difficult” — as the final leg heads to scenic Cape Kiwanda and the finish line, the end of the line for the 26.2-mile endeavor. In total, Zweifel hails the course as one of the most beautiful around— and challenging, too. “It’s a very scenic part of the Oregon Coast,” he says. “The Three Capes Scenic Loop is a unique part of the coast. It’s really special.” Funds raised from the relay will benefit the Tillamook High School Cross Country team’s upcoming spring break trip to the Grand Canyon. Zweifel, who is the team’s current coach, says he hopes to raise $1,500 through the event. He told the Sun that he envisions continuing to donate money from race proceeds for as long as he serves as the THS Cross Country coach. At press time, 25 teams had signed up for the event. Zweifel said that he said he would need a commitment from 30 teams to reach his $1,500 goal. As cross country coach, he also sees the event as one that will teach the critical lesson of working together as a team. And he’s also optimistic about the race growing in the coming years. “I think it has the right ingredients with the challenging course and the scenic aspects,” he said. “The uniqueness of the course and the team aspect is something I think runners will really like.” Registration for the inaugural Three Capes Relay is open through Feb. 28, but event t-shirts are only guaranteed through Feb. 23. Cost is $65 for solo participants, $85 for two-person teams, and $150 for five-person teams. For more information or to register, visit threecapesrelay.oregoncoastalflowers.com.

With the reality of poverty in the community, school officials see the Garden Program as an effective way to address several pressing needs.

‘Cats finish the year 4-18, look towards next season By DEE MOORE for the Sun

he Nestucca Bobcats ended the season on a down note after being bested on Saturday, Feb. 15 by the Portland Christian Royals, 51-37. The boys finished the season 4-18. The team struggled through the game which had previously been rescheduled due to snow. “We didn’t have much gas left in the tank,” said coach Jim Kiser. Nestuca had played four games in five days with almost no down time. “The press bothered us. They made a lot of shots early on. We turned the ball over too much,” added Kiser. The game was contentious during the first quarter when both Kiser and his assistant went toe-to-toe with the refs over bad calls. By the end of the first half, the team was down 14. And things didn’t get better after the halftime break. By the end of the third, the Royals built a 21-point lead, taking a seemingly comfortable 45-24 lead into the final quarter. But as it turns out, the ‘Cats still had some punch. In the final quarter they

made a run at the deficit — of which a lackluster 5-for-12 free throw percentage played a part. Kiser said that part of the problem was the team was already mentally done with the season and ready, for the most part, to move on. “Senior night was the night before, usually that’s the last game of the season,” he said. Still, Kiser sees the season as a productive one. “They are a great group of kids, and I was impressed with their growth,” he said. Kiser is already looking forward to next year, and, while he is sad to see such stellar players like Max Kirkendall and Austin McKillip graduate, he has a team to build on. He is planning to regroup around sophomore Brett Elder and put his guards through their paces during this summer’s practice. Meanwhile, he has JV players moving up and ready to take their turns on the varsity court. “I’d like to use my bench more and rest the starters,” he said as he makes plans for next season.

“Service Even After The Sale”

hile transitions can often be difficult, they are frequently opportunities for growth — and that was the case with this year’s Lady Bobcats basketball team. Though the team finished the season with a 1-22 record, it was the beginning of a new era in Lady ‘Cats history. “This season was all about setting a foundation for the kind of program we will have in the future, and I think the girls did a great job taking the first steps toward that,” said coach Tim Foster. It was a hard first season under Foster, who is working to build the program and improve play — that much was clear Saturday, Feb. 15, when Nestucca lost to the Portland Christian Lady Royals 81-27. Though they have come a long way this season, they still have a way to go. It had been a hard week for the Nestucca girl’s team. They had played four games in five days and they took to the court tired and played out. “We knew it would be a tough game because we had lost 5-53 the first time we played,” said Foster. “We had too many turnovers and didn’t shoot well, but I didn’t think we played all that bad. “Portland Christian shot the ball extremely well,” he said of the top seeded

team. “It’s not easy playing hard and giving max effort when you are overmatched most nights, but the girls did that and I am really proud of them for it.” According to the coach, by mid-season the team had begun to gel and find their way offensively. “Making shots was our greatest weakness this year. If we can get girls in the gym over the summer, we can improve our shooting, but it is going to take more individual effort to get there,” Foster said. He hopes that the team will be willing to commit to that effort though next season may seem a long way off. Foster will be losing three seniors this year, but he has high hopes for the team as several girls step forward to take lead roles on the team. “I am excited for next year. Monica Chatelain was one of the captains this year, and she embodies a lot of the things we want to do as a team. She plays hard no matter the circumstance, is a tough defender, and isn’t afraid to be physical on the court. “Junior Kyce Richwine led us in scoring and steals and made huge strides in her ability to manage a team from the point guard position. We will return starters Sunny McCall and Perla Gracia,” Foster said.

Pelican earns top honors at Lincoln City Jambalaya Cook-Off By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

he chefs at Pacific City’s Pelican Pub & Brewery are showing they’re perhaps the one worthy competitor to the winning ways of the award-hogging brewing staff at the oceanfront pub, notching their third win in the last year in competitions run by Lincoln City Culinary Arts Center. The center holds four cook-offs each year. This time around it was sous chef Jacob Moore, assisted by line cook Tim Gibson, taking the honors for his work in the kitchen as he partnered with Gibson in representing the Pelican well. The Pelican took top honors at the sixth annual Lincoln City Jambalaya CookOff, held Feb. 1 at Lincoln City’s Culinary Arts Center. The duo captured first place overall in a contest judged by Dorinda Goddard of Depoe Bay’s Dockside Charters, Rob Pounding, chef and owner of Lincoln City’s Blackfish Cafe and Louisiana native Scott Salmon, who now resides in Depoe Bay. And the more than 500 visitors of the contest concurred, voting the Pelican’s entry, “Northwest-Style Jambalaya,” as the People’s Choice. The award-winning entry was made with crab stock, Doryman’s Ale, dungeness crab, prawns and housesmoked Tasso ham. In their winning effort, the Pelican’s cuisine team bested five other well-regarded restaurants including Lincoln City’s Chinook Winds Casino Resort, Deli 101, Rockfish Bakery Cafe, Vivian’s Restaurant, and Gumbo Goddess Catering, of La Center, Wash. “We are thrilled with the performance of our chef team,” Pelican co-owner Mary Jones said. The pub’s win was the first time that a restaurant has captured both the judge’s award and the People’s Choice award since that format was instituted three years ago. “It was a good win for the whole Pub, cooking

something I have a passion for,” said Moore, who added that the chef staff is gearing up to make a run at a fourth award as they plan on competing in Lincoln City’s May 3 Fish Taco Cook-Off under the leadership of sous chef Adan Magana-Ares. Culinary Center executive chef Sharon Wiest said the Pelican’s entry was spicy, but not too hot to enjoy. “It had a great flavor and was delicious,” she told the Sun. “It had a lot of heat going on but it wasn’t too spicy.” Wiest said the annual competition offers a unique chance to taste a food that people of the Northwest aren’t exposed to. Yet the Oregon Coast is an appropriate venue. “We can use all our local ingredients,” she said. “We’ve got a lot of great shellfish to put into it.” Pelican Pub & Brewery general manager Ken Henson said the win validates the eatery’s effort to provide top-quality beer cuisine. “We’re really focused not only on the experience (of eating at the pub’s oceanfront brewery), but the quality of food,” he said. “We’re really pleased with the performance of the chef team and look forward to continuing to enter these competitions and putting our best foot forward. We’re really proud of our chef team and the work they’ve done.” Henson said that though the Pelican’s Northwest Style Jambalaya is not on it’s current menu, he hopes to have the recipe included in an upcoming Pelican Pub cookbook. With a target release date of May 11, the “beer cuisine” cookbook is expected to feature 100 pages loaded with about 70 Pelican recipes. When released, it will be available at Pelican Pub & Brewery, Stimulus Espresso Cafe and, if all goes according to plan, Amazon.com.
