Performance Provides Provisions Oct. 5 event raises $7,500 for the Nestucca Backpack Program By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

ith the Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts providing the Broadway musical memories and volunteers and contributors congratulating one another on a job well done, on Oct. 5 the Nestucca Backpack Program looked at the challenges ahead as it strives to continue their efforts to make sure needy students are fed during the weekends. The fundraising event raised approximately $7,500 for the program, which distributes backpacks filled with food for the weekend to needy students. Reporting on the successes of last year, director Jo Rack said that the program distributed an average of 85 food-laden backpacks during the 2012-13 school year. The numbers look similar this year with 100 students signed up and, thus far, an average of 85 backpacks once again being handed out. She stressed the importance of the program, noting that 70 percent of the students in the Nestucca Valley School District qualify for either free or reduced lunches, and hailed the contributions of the community — both through financial contributions and volunteer work — as reasons why they’re able to help feed the children of the community. The importance in keeping kids well fed was underscored by comments from Nestucca Valley School principals during intermission. “This program fills a great need for our kids, who are considered economically disadvantaged,” said Misty Wharton, principal of Nestucca Elementary. “This program also makes those students aware that there is a community that cares about them. That’s an important aspect of the program as well.” Wharton also hailed the program’s volunteers. “The program runs very well in my building,” she said. “The volunteers are punctual and flexible. (When) backpacks don’t get returned (in time to be filled on the normal schedule), we let

PERFORMERS from the Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts provided a musical backdrop to a fundraiser that raised $7,500 for the Nestucca Backpack Program at a sold-out performance at the Kiawanda Community Center, Oct. 5. TAPA performed their show “Broadway Baby! - 100 Years of Musical Theater.” During intermission the principals from the Nestucca Valley School District spoke about how much the program means to their students. them know and they will come and fill them. That’s how high of a priority the volunteers put for (our) students.” Nestucca Jr.-Sr. High School principal Randy Wharton also was enthusiastic in his praise of the program and what it has meant to his students. He said that while, through the school’s lunch program, he can make sure students are fed Monday through Friday, the same can’t be said of the weekend. And that’s where he says the Nestucca Backpack Program comes in. “(Try and) imagine trying to educate a student or trying to correct their (behavior) when the only thing on their mind is ‘I hope I get to eat tonight,’” he said. “We have a very high incidence of single-parent families in our district and so there’s only one income, and chances are that income is not enough to support that family. So they get to make decisions about paying for electricity or buying food for the week.” He noted that in the junior-senior high, 66 percent qualify for free or reduced lunch, but that figure doesn’t paint the whole picture.

“There are families in my building that (because of) pride or other issues, just don’t bother to ask to be in the free and reduced programs. It’s much higher I’m sure in both buildings.” To Wharton, it all adds up to a program that’s doing more than just feeding those in need and helping out their families in the process. The program also makes sure students come to class nourished and ready to learn. “This backpack program is wonderful,” he said. “ I can’t imagine a more important program for these kids, because they know they’re going to go home and have something to eat on Saturday and Sunday.” Though Rack said the program has secured the majority of the $33,600 budget it has set for 2013-14 through grants and fundraisers like the TAPA event and the selling of bean soup mix over the summer, there remains a $2,500 gap they need to cover. The program is offering the public a chance to do their part by sponsoring a child for a week, a month or for the whole year. For more information, call 602-509-4071.

Quite a Harvest

orning showers may have reined in the early crowds, but by afternoon the 31st annual Neskowin Valley Harvest Festival, held on Oct. 12 on school grounds, was going full-steam ahead. Though at press time, the school did not have figures on the money raised during the festival, which is one of the school’s largest fundraisers, NVS development director Heidi Luquette told the Sun that she’s confident the school is “good shape,” and

that both the bakery cafe and Slab Creek Grill sold well, as did the beer garden. “In general, we felt really good about the festival, especially the new elements. We have not had a beer garden (provided this year by Pelican Pub & Brewery) for a long time,” she said. “The pony rides were also very popular.” For more information on Neskowin Valley School, visit www. neskowinvalleyschool.com.

estucca High School Principal Randy Wharton taught a different lesson during the institution’s high school open house on Sept. 25. With a roomful of parents in attendance, Wharton shared the coming changes in student testing — testing that students must pass to qualify for a diploma. “The new standards are (designed) for students to succeed in college and in the workforce,” he said. “(They’re) to ensure that every child regardless of race or ethnicity meets statewide standards. They are designed by educators with a clear road map on what to teach and when to teach it.” For the last four to five years, the school has used the Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills, a test that assesses students’ mastery of Oregon content standards. Starting with the 2014-15 school year, that will change to the Common Core Smarter Balance testing program, a system that 45 states have bought into. Students that pass OAKS tests by year’s end will have their results “banked” and will not need to pass a Smarter Balance test, though sophomores who take OAKS this year will be asked to take the test as a junior as a matter of state policy, regardless as to whether they have “banked” the OAKS standard.

Wharton said that one big change as things now stand is that the Smarter Balance testing only gives students one shot, whereas the school’s policy has been to give students earlier exposure to the OAKS test — in an effort to either allow the student an earlier chance at passage or to gauge the areas of needed improvement. He said subject-specific changes include a greater focus on nonfiction, rather than novels. And in math, there will be a shift away from “touching on everything a little bit,” instead focusing on fewer concepts but in much more depth. The new standards also include a greater focus on not just showing your work, but explaining your thinking, he said. “The most important thing you can do is to stay involved with their education,” Wharton said. “Show them it is important to have an education. Read with your children, help them with their homework, communicate with teachers.” Wharton also touched on the state requirement to complete proficiency assessments on students at least once a year. Proficiency assessments are based on specific standards — which Nestucca teachers will determine — and will mostly be reported in a meet/does not meet format. It won’t replace the familiar grading system, but rather complement it — at least for a time. “Our culture is so set up for A-B-CD-F. We’ll have that for awhile,” he said.

RESIDENT VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS at Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District got a fresh look to their domiciles on Friday, Oct. 11 when Steve Rice of Rice Furniture and Appliance (McMinnville, Ore.) delivered enough quality furniture to fill three resident rooms. The new furniture, which included a twin bed set, solid wood desk and chair, wardrobe, bookcase and desk lamp, was made possible through the philanthropic efforts of Theresa and Gary Smith, of Pacific City. Rice also chipped in with reduced prices on the furniture as did Courtland Manufacturing, which provided much of the furniture. “It’s a huge thing for us because there’s no way we could have afforded furniture like this,” said Nestucca Fire Chief Kris Weiland.

It’s a Taxing Decision Ballots to be sent out Oct. 18 for county-wide transient lodging tax By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

allots go out to Tillamook County residents on Oct. 18 for a proposal that would ask visitors of the county’s lodging establishments to pay a 10 percent transient lodging tax. Ordinance 74 is the TLT proposal, which commissioners voted to put on the ballot on July 17. Funds raised from the proposed tax would be split — 30 percent would benefit county roads and 70 percent would go to tourism promotion and infrastructure. Though it asks all lodging operators in the county to tax visitors 10 percent, those lodging in cities that already have a room tax will be given an up to 9 percent credit for any city tax they are paying. The ordinance is part of a promise they made to voters when they put a $15 million road bond on last May’s ballot. The measure passed 3,712 to 3,526. Proponents say that the measure would raise about $1.4 million in the first year, a figure that would likely increase over time. They point to the tax revenue that would be dedicated to road maintenance and to tourism promotion and the potential for economic development. To get a share of the tourism money, projects will have to be submitted to a committee that will likely be headed by the Tillamook Economic Development Department. Projects will then go through a public meeting process with County Commissioners having the final say. “(If ) this passes it will benefit the entire county, including South (Til-

lamook) County,” Dan Biggs, director of the Tillamook Economic Development Department, told the Sun. “It will provide money to spend on improving the roads and money for infrastructure and a marketing campaign. It will be a benefit to the entire county including South County. It’s going to be a big driver of jobs.” Biggs also said it could help alleviate other “systemic” problems such as spousal abuse, alcohol abuse, and drug abuse. “These things go up when people don’t have jobs,” he said. “This (tax) is going to generate an increase in tourism and that will result in job growth.” He also hailed it as part of the solution for families struggling to make ends meet. “If parents are working, they can afford to feed their families,” he said. Doug Olson, owner of the Inn at Pacific City, also supports the measure. “I think it’s good thing,” he said. But the measure does have its detractors. Speaking at a Sept. 3 Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce forum on the proposal, Chamber President Merrianne Hoffman said she would like to see a portion of the monies dedicated to a county-wide promotion and another piece of the pie dedicated to unincorporated communities — areas where the bulk of the money will be collected. At that same meeting, Kiwanda Hospitality President Jeremy Strober, speaking from his personal perspective, pointed to the estimated 90 percent estimated to be collected from unin-

corporated areas out of an expected $1.4 million to be amassed each year. He lamented the fact that “no protection exists (in Ordinance 75) that even a portion (of funds) are returned to the community that raised them.” Despite that, both Olson and Biggs said they are confident the TLT is a workable way for tourists to pay their fair share. “If it passes — or when it passes — I think South County will get its fair share and then some,” sand Olson. “I think we have a variety of projects that are every bit as viable as anything in Tillamook or up north. I am pretty confident that (a proposed expansion of ) Kiawanda Community Center is high on the list. I think that even with some of the uncertainties, the mechanism is pretty sound. I think there’s enough checks and balances. I would rather argue about who gets a million dollars than argue about something else. It’s a win-win.” And Biggs said in the event that South County doesn’t feel it’s getting a fair shake, there is a mechanism to change that. “If South County wants to redirect the money to South County, they could incorporate and become a city,” he said. “Any city is going to get a 9 percent credit against (the tax). If you want to incorporate, you can take advantage of that.” Mail-in ballots must be postmarked by Oct. 31. Ballot drop boxes open on Nov. 1 and must be returned by Nov. 5. The election results will be certified by Nov. 25.

DLCD files amended Territorial Sea Plan T he Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development filed an amendment to the state’s Territorial Sea Plan with the Secretary of State on Oct. 7. The amendment adopts rules that were adopted by the DLCD commission on Jan. 24 and will govern the development of wind and wave energy projects in Oregon’s territorial sea, which extends three miles west of the coastline. As part of the new plan, four areas in Oregon’s territorial sea were identified as Renewable Energy Suitability Facility Suitability Study Areas, including an

approximately two square mile swath south of the mouth of the Nestucca River. REFSSAs are the lease restrictions of six designations — other than actually being labeled a Renewable Energy Permit Area. The Nestucca site had strong local opposition from groups like the Pacific City Dorymen’s Association, which is trying to protect its fishing grounds. The other three REFSSAs are an 11 square mile site at Camp Rilea, which is under the control of the military, a 5.2 square mile site at Reedsport, and a 4 square mile Reedsport Lakeside REFSSA. The official filing of the rules came

Page 6 • Pacific City SUN • October 18, 2013

just four days after the Ocean Policy Advisory Committee, at its Oct. 3 meeting, drafted a letter to LCDC requesting the rules not be adopted. OPAC’s report at the Jan. 24 DLCD meeting had recommended that the Nestucca site be removed from consideration. However, DLCD’s own staff report put it back on the preferred list and the commission voted 6-1 to adopt the four REFSSAs.

MANY VOLUNTEERS AT THE SOLVE Beach and River Cleanup came out from Portland. Chrystle Nordin, who was in town from Alaska visiting friends, came out with Ryane Griffis, Lisa Kline and Brian Frainey.

Clean and Tidy By DEE MOORE for the Sun

he annual SOLVE Beach and River Cleanup at Cape Kiwanda brought volunteers from various Portland Metro school districts and businesses to help collect debris and make the coast a better place to live and visit. Ben Olarte of Portland came with a group of volunteer’s from his daughter’s school, LaSalle Catholic College Preparatory, to help clean the beach. While the event was part of the school’s outreach program, for many the opportunity to make a difference was a personal choice. Other volunteers found out about the event online and decided to drive over from the Rose City as well. Chrystle Nordin, who was in town from Alaska visiting friends, came out with Ryane Griffis, Lisa Kline and Brian Frainey. This year’s cleanup drew a smaller crowd, according to Zach Smith, Cape Kiwanda team leader and Pelican Pub & Brewery assistant manager. An estimated 50 people showed up by mid-day. “They were jazzed to (be) out on the beach cleaning up,” Smith said. Devils Lake Park Ranger Scott Duncan, who covers Zone 5 which includes Cape Kiwanda, believes the low turnout was because the event had to be rescheduled due to a major storm front which hit the coast on the original date. “Rescheduling was a factor, (but) more people turned out around Pacific City,” Duncan said. Unfortunately, this meant less trash was picked up. “There was probably around 200 pounds (from all the cleanup sites),” he said. In previous years, “close to 1,000 pounds of trash was collected.”

YOUNGSTERS looking for a safe place for treats on Halloween, Oct. 31, need look no further than Kiawanda Community Center’s annual Halloween party. The free 6-8 p.m. event takes place at 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City.

Safe, but Spooky Kiawanda Community Center welcomes trick-or-treaters for a night of dress-up and games on Halloween By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

ooking to scare up a Halloween full of treats, games and fun? The Kiawanda Community Center hopes their annual haunted night will creep into your plans this Oct. 31. The annual tradition will continue this year, from 6-8 p.m. in the center’s great room. Though sponsored by the center, everyone in the community chips in whether that means donating candy, baking cakes or, as in the case of the students of Nestucca High School, manning the many scheduled games.

Amongst the amusements on tap will be Halloween-themed putt-putt golf, bean bag toss, fishing pond, and, of course, everyone’s favorite the cake walk. This year 24 cakes will be up for grabs, each lovingly crafted by Ida Monroe, of Nestucca Valley School District. “It’s just a fun event for the kids,” said Shelley Dickson, administrator of Kiawanda Community Center. “We’re hoping for a good turnout and that everyone will have a lot of fun.” For more information, call the Kiawanda Community Center at 503965-7900.

I think it’s important for everyone to see it and be a part of it.” For more information, contact Cedar Creek Child Care Center at 503-392-4449 or Nestucca Fire at 503392-3313.

In the People’s Choice voting, Aydelott took home top honors for Pelican Pub and Brewery’s Wild Mushroom Pie, followed by a second-place showing by Chef Jason Jobe of Vivian’s Restaurant in Lincoln City for their Wild Savory Mushroom Flan, and a third-place effort by Chef Randy DePorter of Lincoln City’s BeachTown Deli for their Wild Mushroom Risotto Cakes. An abundant variety of wild mushrooms were available for purchase at the Wild Mushroom CookOff provided by Peak Forest Fruits of Banks, Ore., and the Cook-Off featured learning opportunities for everyone from first-timers to experts, including an information booth and lecture on wild mushrooms provided by the Lincoln County Mycological Society. The Mycological Society also led forays into the local woods following this year’s cook-off to provide a hands-on opportunity to learn more about wild mushrooms and identification.

ZEMLINSKY QUARTET will return to the Neskowin Chamber Music series on Sunday, Nov. 3 at 3 p.m. for a concert held at the Chapel at Camp Wi-Ne-Ma, three miles north of Neskwon, just west of Highway 101.

Czech Out the Classics Award-winning string quartet hosted by Neskowin Chamber Music Series on Nov. 3

he Czech Repubic’s Zemlinsky Quartet will bring their awardwinning string sounds to the Neskowin Chamber Music’s second concert of the season when the group, which performs all over the U.S. and Canada, returns to the Chapel at Camp Wi-Ne-Ma on Sunday, Nov. 3. The quartet last appeared in Neskowin in the 2010-2011 season and are back by popular demand. Founded in 1994, the quartet has become a leading example of the Czech string quartet tradition. In every decade, the Czech nation celebrates a year ending in “four” as The Year of Czech Music. Most of the leading Czech composers were born or died in such a year. To follow that tradition, the Zemlinskys will devote their season to performing works by the famous composers of their native land—Dvorak, Suk, Smetana, and Janacek. In 2006-11, the Zemlinsky Quartet acted as assistant quartet-in-residence at Musikakademie Basel (Switzerland). During its tours, the quartet is often invited to give numerous master classes to students of any age, and it also performs in school concerts. Recently, František Soucek and Petr Holman have also been appointed as professors of the Prague Conservatory. Zemlinsky Quartet is named after the Austrian composer, conductor and teacher Alexander Zemlinsky (18711942), whose enormous contribution to Czech, German and Jewish culture during his 16-year stay in Prague was

underestimated for decades. His four string quartets (the second one being dedicated to his student and brotherin-law Arnold Schönberg) belong to the basic repertoire of the ensemble. Since 2005, the quartet has maintained a special relationship with the Alexander Zemlinsky Foundation, Vienna. The quartet has received numerous awards, including the Alexander Zemlinsky Advancement Award, New Talent Bratislava, Martini Foundation String Quartet Competition, the Prize of the Czech Chamber Music Society, and the Grand First Prize of the Bordeaux Competition. Members of the quartet are: Frantisek Soucek, first violin; Petr Strizek, second violin; Petr Holman, viola; and Vladimir Fortin, violoncello. The quartet will also perform a 9 a.m. outreach on Nov. 4 for the students of Oceanlake Elementary School. Performers for the rest of Neskowin Chamber Music’s 20th season include pianist Andrius Zlabys, Jan. 26, 2014; Kaplan/Weiss Duo, Feb. 9, 2014; Borealis String Quartet, March 16, 2014; Amelia Piano Trio, April 13, 2014; and Ariel String Quartet, May 4, 2014. The performances are at 3 p.m. at Camps Winema, three miles north of Neskowin just west of Highway 101. Season tickets cost $110. Individual tickets for $25 are available at the door; call ahead to get on a waiting list. For more information, visit www.neskowinchambermusic.org or call 503-9656499.

FISHING&OUTDOORS

Too Much Sun?

Dry weather challenges fishing enthusiasts, but experienced anglers thrive By PAT GEFRE for the Sun

oy how things change! The last couple of weeks salmon fishing in the Nestucca River was some of the best anyone has seen in quite some time. Two weeks without rain and it all goes away. Well, it hasn’t completely disappeared, but you do have to be a better fisherman under these conditions. Two weeks ago, the Nestucca rose to more than 6.5 feet, and, within hours, it seemed like the ocean just unloaded, and there were thousands of salmon. Hundreds were being caught and just about anybody could wander down to the river, cast in whatever, and catch a fish. During the week of Oct. 13-19, the water had dropped to 4.5 feet and gotten very clear. Now you have to be a much better fisherman and mostly those with lots of experience are the ones catching salmon. What we need now is more rain — and lots of it. The long-range forecast doesn’t look very promising — for at least the next 10 days, it looks to be quite dry. So what now? Well some salmon will be entering the Nestucca River regardless of the water levels. It’s time for some to get up river and spawn and those fish will be on the move. Mother Nature, however, has seen fit to diversify the timing of the fall salmon runs. What that means is that not all of the fall fish have the same time clock. Some spawn early and some in the middle and some spawn nearer the end of November. Diversifying the run ensures that no one weather event can destroy it. For example, let’s say we should get some torrential downpours over the next couple of weeks, and the river rises to flood stage. All the salmon that have already spawned could possibly face a total wipe out of the spawning grounds. Never fear, for when the water comes back down, we still have the late spawners that could save the whole run. Anyway, in a nut shell, diversity of

spawning times is a good deal for the salmon. It just also happens to be a good deal for fishermen as well, because it stretches out the run and gives fishermen many more weeks to fish. So what’s next? With the water levels in the river at a low level and no predicted rain for awhile, what should happen is fall Chinook should start to accumulate again in tidewater. That means the tidewater fishery in Pacific City could start all over again and last until the next series of rains and high water. Sea run cutthroat trout don’t often get much attention — also called Blue Backs or in the old days my grandpa called them Harvest Trout. Whatever you call them, they are fun to catch and can range in size from 12 to 20 inches — some weighing up to 4 ½ pounds. They can be caught in the fall as they follow migrating salmon hoping to cash in on loose salmon eggs. They can be caught in tidewater on fly gear or in the river on the same fly gear or baits like worms or single eggs. Sea runs are very aggressive biters and are huge fun to catch as they can fight just as hard as a jack salmon. There are lots of sea runs in the Nestucca. I have had reports of sea runs as large as 20 inches as far up as 6th Bridge. The limit is two fish per day and these are in addition to any salmon or steelhead. Steelhead? Yes, there are still some summer steelhead way up the Nestucca. Start at the deadline at Elk Creek and work your way downstream — there are a handful of dedicated steelhead fishermen who are reporting that there are still good numbers of summer up high. Remember, however, that above moon creek it’s artificial only. Flies, lures, corkies, etc. No Bait! Crabbing is still off but with no rains forecast, it should start to improve in the bays. Crabs should be firming up very well. The saying is any month with an “R” in it is supposed to be good crabbing, although I have not always found that to be true. It could be subject to location.

THE HUNT for proof of Bigfoot’s existence was the topic of conversation on Oct. 11-12 when Bryan Sykes, Professor of Human Genetics at Oxford University met with local author Peter Byrne, who is slated to be signing his newest book, “The Monster Trilogy Guidebook”, during a reception Oct. 20, 3-6 p.m., at the Thomas Goodwin Gallery in Cloverdale.

A Hairy Proposition Scientist’s search for the existence of Bigfoot hits Pacific City

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

ometimes the smallest pieces of evidence can yield the biggest breaks in a case. It’s a truth that’s equally true for forensic experts hot on a criminal’s trail and those seeking to once and for all confirm the existence — or lack thereof — of Bigfoot. Put scientist Bryan Sykes, who was visiting Pacific City from Oct. 11-12 in search of tales and evidence of the unconfirmed creature, in the latter category. Sykes, Professor of Human Genetics at Oxford University, was in town to gain insight from author Peter Byrne, who participated in some of the great hunts for Bigfoot, the Yeti and the Loch Ness Monster in the 1960s. He also met with three others, who have claimed to catch a glimpse of the sought-after beast. The visit is also timely — Byrne will be signing his latest guide, “The Monster Trilogy Guidebook,” during a reception on Sunday, Oct. 20, 3-6 p.m., at Thomas Goodwin Gallery in Cloverdale. “I’m interested in the whole history of (the search for Bigfoot). I wanted to meet Peter very much because he is the last surviving member of the Yeti exhibitions of the 50s and 60s,” he told the Sun. “In my view, that was the last time there was proper work (done in the search for the Yeti and Bigfoot.)” Sykes says that thanks to advances in forensic science, it is now possible to pin

down any species by analyzing a single strand of hair. And with about 50 such strands found near Bigfoot sightings in his possession, he may just have the key to unravel the mystery. But you won’t read about it here. He is mum about any results he’s found thus far as he’s sworn to secrecy because of a UK television program that will air later this month. He also plans to share his results with “proper” scientific journals. Regardless of when or how the results come out, the potential for a major revelation is there. “There are quite a few hair samples that have lots of providence that have been tested,” he says. “With a single hair, I can make an unambiguous (determination) — even if we’ve never found a Bigfoot.” He said that if the sample is from an actual Bigfoot, he would expect to find genetic evidence placing the specimen as somewhere between a human and a primate. “I do believe from the accounts that I’ve heard that there is — or was — something out there,” he said. “In the Himalayas and in other parts of the world, I’ve found things astonishing and surprising. You might even say sensational.” Still, even when the results are revealed, that may not be the end of Sykes’ journey to prove Bigfoot’s existence — a journey that started in May 2012. “I guess it won’t be finished until I find that golden hair,” he said.

Why Choose Tillamook County Health Centers?

A look at favorite books that paint a picture of Tillamook County history By SALLY RISSEL for the Sun

recently came across a gem of a book titled “Tidewater Valley-a Story of Swiss in Oregon,” by Jo Lundy. I thought I had every book written about Tillamook County, so this was a real find. “Tidewater Valley” was published in 1947 as part of a series for young adults about immigrant communities in various parts of the United States. In its pages are tales about the Swiss settling in Tillamook at the turn of the century. The author grew up in Tillamook, and it is an accurate picture of Tillamook and the surrounding area and what it felt like to be the newcomers. The fictional couple lives on the Trask River in a homestead and their young niece and nephew come to live with them from Basel, Switzerland. They are dairy farmers in the early years, just before cheese is discovered as a way to create a salable product. Until that time, farmers only had milk and butter to sell — both were very perishable and difficult to transport. I found it a charming read and a great book to read out loud to classrooms and children. These are some other favorite books in my collection that I think are valuable for anyone wanting to know more about Tillamook history. “Till Broad Daylight,” by Warren Baugh, is a firsthand account of the first pioneers coming to Tillamook in 1851.

he Nestucca Bobcats roared onto the field last week ready to take on longtime rivals the Portland Christian Royals, but instead ended up with their second loss of the season, 28-12. The Royals quickly racked up touchdowns early in the game, but Nestucca fought hard and kept coming back regardless of the Royals lead. Nestucca put together a 17-play drive, during which head coach Jeff Schiewe says they battled for every yard. With time running out on the clock, running back Keenan Wenrick crossed the goal line. “The (point-after) kick was no good, but (we were) battling to get back in what appeared to be a blowout,” Schiewe said. The ‘Cats closed the half trailing Portland Christian, 6-28, but started the second half with a successful drive that quarterback Drace Moeller put the finishing touches on when he rolled out for the touchdown. “On the last play Moeller rolled left on a keeper and ran to the pylon through the PC cornerback,” said Schiewe. “He really attacked the defender and just decided that he was going to score it. Ryan Leslie did a nice job of breaking off his pattern and coming in to block for Drace.

“Actually, the offense was doing its job and held the ball for 30 straight plays, but (needed) to strike quicker (to prevent falling) short of a victory.” The ‘Cats held their ground through the last two minutes of the third quarter then began the fight again going for another drive. But the sustained drive was halted when Nestucca went out on downs during a fake punt play. The Royals responded taking the ball all the way to the second yard line but the ‘Cats maintained their defense keeping Portland Christian from taking it to the endzone. Again the ‘Cats made another long trip down the field only to surrender the ball to the Royals and once again the visitors responded taking the ball all the way to the 1-yard line where Nestucca once again held them. “We controlled the second half pretty well, but when you dig such a deep hole to start the game, it’s hard to recover against such a good team. A lot of teams would have given up. (Being) four touchdowns down to the number one ranked team in the state is a bad position, and at every level of football, you see athletes quit when given a similar set of circumstances, but not these Bobcats. They showed a lot of character in the final 2-1/2 quarters,” said Schiewe. The Bobcats go to Gaston to take on the Greyhounds at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 18.

SPORTS Lady Bobcats drop match to Delphian By DEE MOORE for the Sun

he Nestucca Lady Bobcats volleyball team is heading into the home stretch with only one game left to play this season. The team currently has a 4-13 overall record and 1-9 league record. The ‘Cats travelled to Sheridan to face the Delphian Lady Dragons Oct. 17 where they were defeated 0-3. The girls have steadily improved, according to head coach John Elder. They started the season fairly young with only two returning seniors. The rest of the team is mainly made up of juniors. “We have been playing better than

we were the first part of the season. We recently lost one of our setters, (junior) Emily Menefee, due to an injury and we are still trying to overcome that,” Elder said. The team has had a struggle recently — losing more games than they have been winning — but Elder says that the group has powered on giving each game their best effort. “We won at Riverdale (3-1) … and played a tight match with Gaston (1-3) … with very close sets. We are hoping to close the season playing our best,” he said. Nestucca takes on the Neah-KahNie Lady Pirates at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 21, in the Nestucca High School gym.
