War on the Weeds

Watershed Council hosts April 28 clean-up that aims to trim away invasive weeds on Cape Kiwanda Drive

t’s time to curtail the invasion! Volunteers are being sought for a NestuccaNeskowin-Sand Lake Watershed Council sponsored clean-up on Saturday, April 28 with the goal of finishing off non-native, invasive scotch broom, which has historically choked out rhododendrons and salal along Cape Kiwanda Drive, north of Cape Kiwanda.

The effort, which will run from 9 a.m.-noon, is supported with a $750 grant from the Hebo Stewardship Group, as well as contributions from local businesses. Volunteers are to meet at the Cape Kiwanda parking lot and are encouraged to dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes.

Gloves are also in order, but helpers can opt to bring their own or take advantage of ones available courtesy of the watershed council. Refreshments will be provided by Grateful Bread Restaurant & Photo by Tim Hirsch Bakery and Stimulus Cafe and a free hot dog lunch at VOLUNTEERS will once again be charged with eradicating the invasive scotch noon served by Pelican Pub broom that lines Cape Kiwanda Drive north of the Cape during a Nestucca& Brewery.

IN the NEWS Nestucca Fire adopts budget The Nestucca Rural Fire Board of Directors approved a $715,000 budget for the 2012-13 calendar year during a board meeting on April 11 at the Hebo fire station.

Though the budget represents an increase over the previous two years budget cycles of $15,000, it is significantly below Tillamook County’s projected tax revenue collection of $808,000. According to the district, the 2011-12 calendar was instructive in this conservative action — the district has collected approximately $725,000 in tax revenues to date, a far cry from the $780,000 estimate from Tillamook County.

Most of the increase is going to fund a resident volunteer firefighter tuition program, which is offering residents $500 per quarter for tuition funding. Though staff was awarded a 3 percent salary increase, those monies are being offset by the district’s change in health insurance providers midway through the 2011-12 budget cycle — a move that has meant 44 percent lower premiums.

Dine ‘SMART’ at Pelican Pub & Brewery The Pelican Pub & Brewery, Pacific Citiy’s oceanfront, awardwinning pub, will donate 10 percent of all food, beverage and merchandise sales to Start Making A Reader Today on Wednesday, May 19, as part of SMART’s Restaurant Week.

T

he cupboards are a little fuller at needy families’ homes in South Tillamook County thanks to a March food drive put on by the Nestucca Valley Lions Club. A total of 425 pounds of food was collected, as well as $315 in cash donations — a contribution that was good enough to purchase 1,575 pounds of food through the Oregon Food Bank.

The drive marks the second year that the 29-year-old organization has sponsored a spring food drive. Donations were split between Pass It On Ministries in Beaver and the Good Neighbor Program in Pacific City.

The food drive is just one of the outreaches of the Lions Club, which donated $11,000 worth of community

services in 2011 including eyeglasses and hearing aids, medical needs, the Nestucca backpack program, and training for seeing eye dogs. For more informaton, call president Ruby Fry-Matson at 503965-6672.

Pass It On Ministries is run by Beaver Community Church where Pastor Josh Gard said that the donation is key to their continued ability to serve about 100 families a month.

“The Lion’s contribution was greatly appreciated,” he said. “Not only did it provide food, it provided some variety for those served by our pantry.

The need in our county is great and we are pleased to be a part of meeting that need.”

Joann Waters of South Tillamook County Good Neighbors Program, which has been serving the needs of the

residents from Hemlock to Neskowin for more than 30 years, said the timing couldn’t have been better.

“After spring break, the cupboards are getting bare,” said Waters of those financially struggling to put food on the table. She added that the need is so great that what came in has already been mostly distributed.

She said she was thankful for the way the Lions Club stepped up.

“They do so many things in the community as do so many organizations,” she said. “South (Tillamook) County is full of so many wonderful people doing many wonderful things.”

Candor from the Candidates Political hopefuls share their visions, answer to constituents during a forum at Nestucca Jr.-Sr. High School

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

E

ight county commissioner candidates, as well as Sheriff Andy Long and State Representative hopeful Jerome Grant (R-Depoe Bay) shared their visions of a prosperous Tillamook County and fielded questions from concerned voters during a forum held Monday, April 16 at Nestucca Valley Jr.-Sr. High School. The forum was sponsored by the Pacific CityNestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce and hosted by Nestucca students.

Sheriff Andy Long was appointed

by Tillamook County Commissioners last November when former Sheriff of the Year Todd Anderson retired.

He said the biggest problem facing Tillamook County is meth and heroin use.

“We’ve had four overdoses in the last two months and one death,” said Long. “We’re concentrating on it. I’ve focused our detectives on it. These guys are putting some terrible long hours in and we’re working as hard as we can.”

Lisa Phipps, current director of the Tillamook Estuaries Partnership and candidate for Tillamook County Commissioner, Position 1, said her years of experience in local politics has given her understanding of law, experience at planning local land issues and skills for planning for the future. She added that if elected, her top priority would be to develop a strategic plan and business plan “to help the county diversify its portfolio so it could better weather economic downturns.”

Also competing for the position 1 commissioner spot that will be vacated

by Charles Hurliman’s upcoming retirement is Valerie Folkema.

One of the accomplishments she cited as being proud of was the “courage of the South Tillamook County community and Hebo in particular.

(They were) able to work with me, the U.S. Forest Service and other partners to get online an updated and current wastewater facility.”

Pet care specialist Jill Williams, who is also running for position 1, said she believes it’s important for leaders to encourage community dialogue and learn not “only what upsets people but what makes people happy.”

“We all love Tillamook County, and

Sun

we all want to see it prosper, but we also want to protect the qualilty of life here,” she said.

Also hoping to lead Tillamook County in the position 1 commissioner spot is Pacific City resident Tom Donohue. He said he counted as his top priorities fixing Tillamook County roads — the worst in the state — and providing adequate funding to the sheriff’s department and emergency preparedness. He also said he’d like to see a change in attitude in business development. Donohue said that with 80 percent of jobs in the U.S. coming

“

We all love Tillamook County and we all want to see it prosper, but we also want to protect the quality of life here.

”

–Jill Williams

from small businesses he would like to see the county adopt an attitude of “Mr. Businessman, how can we help you succeed?”

Also asking voters for their support for the position 1 commissioner spot is realtor John Coopersmith. He cited family wage jobs and economic development as amongst Tillamook County’s critical issues. Looking to the county’s four bedrock industries — dairy, timber, fisheries and tourism — he said that we need to work harder to highlight what we do well.

“We’ve got some really premium products,” he said.

Accounting veteran Bill Baertilein was the final position 1 candidate as Tillamook City Councilor Steven Forster couldn’t make it because of a council meeting.

“My background in auditing and fiscal management has prepared me well for this position,” said Baertilein.

He said one of the most critical issues for him was to develop a long range strategic plan that would address our deteriorating roads and aging county courthouse.

Tillamook County Commissioner Mark Labhart is running for reelection for position 2.

During his nearly eight years as commissioner, Labhart has been a visible presence in South Tillamook County. Currently he is chair of the Neskowin Coastal Hazards Committee and is working with Jeff Schons and Mary Jones, owners of Pelican Pub & Brewery, to find an expansion site within Tillamook County.

“I’m down in South County a lot,” he said. “I attend almost every meeting of the (Pacific City-Nestucca Valley) Chamber. I report every month at Chamber meetings.”

He also touted his role in helping Cedar Creek Childcare Center build a new facility in Hebo and the Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District with obtaining the neighboring county land where they are currently rebuilding a fire hall and administrative building.

Pacific City resident David Downs is Labhart’s challenger.

“We need a lot of work on the roads,” said Downs. “We need jobs.

We need to start with a more businessfriendly government. The government doesn’t create jobs — if it does it comes out of your pocket. We need businesses to come in here and create jobs.”

A number of issues resonated during a question and answer period following each candidate’s opening remarks.

Hebo resident Ed Armstrong asked many candidates what they thought the most critical environmental issue in Tillamook County is.

Phipps said the biggest environmental issue the county is facing is managing development and growth while still conserving our natural resources.

“Our economy is the environment whether you walk the beach, recreate on water or kayak on the rivers,” added Folkema. “I would be hard pressed that we could do anything to take away from that and still be viable.”

The library levy, which is also on the ballot, was another hot topic. While candidates said they supported the library, some stopped short of endorsing the current proposal.

“I love the library and never want to see it closed,” said Williams, but I don’t know if I support the levy as it stands today.”

Joshua Sisco of Bros. and Hoes Landscaping & Maintenance buries the last of the landscaping irrigation hoses at the South Tillamook County Library Thrift Shop in Pacific City. New shrubs, flowers and ground cover were recently added to the beds, replacing the original flora which died during the winter of 2009.

Spruced Up

By DEE MOORE for the Sun

A

fter two long years the library thrift shop grounds have finally received the attention they so rightly deserve. The finishing touches have been added to a $2,000 landscaping project — making the store not only a focal point for those looking for a bargain — but also a thing of beauty.

Joshua Sisco from Bros. and Hoes Landscaping added the last of the irrigation on April 17 to the beautifully minimalist landscaping that now surrounds the store.

The store’s new look is a gift back to the community, according to STCLC director Barbara Triplet, who is also the chair of the landscaping subcommittee.

She is a retired plant biologist who moved to the community about three years ago.

She said the transformation was possible thanks to the hard work of numerous volunteers and well spent funding donated by generous community members.

While great bargains are always on hand at the shop, the object of the store is to provide the funding the library needs to operate.

Two years ago, during the winter of 2009, the South Tillamook County Library Thrift Shop in Pacific City took a hit to its self esteem. The store lost the landscaping it had to cold weather and disease.

The store which supports the South Tillamook County Library by raising funds to provide for repairs, upkeep and cleaning to the building has since had to wait like a lonely orphan until there were

funds available for a facelift.

The steps toward a new look began not long after the original landscaping died. With the help of students, the dead plants were removed in preparation for new flora.

“From 2009 to 2011, the Nestucca Connections group from Nestucca High School helped with the early phases of the project,” Triplett said.

This was not only helpful to the thrift store, it gave the youth real world experience.

The new landscaping features Point Reyes Creeper, dwarf spruce, barberry, rosemary, golden oregano and a potted strawberry tree. These plants are low maintenance and are offset by grey rock ground cover.

Because there were more pressing issues facing the board, such as repairs to the library building, re-landscaping the thrift store lawn was put on hold until such a time as all the other needs were met. When the repairs were caught up with and it was discovered that there was leftover funding, the board knew just what to do with it.

“The plants selected for this project are well-adapted to the coastal environment,” Triplett said.

The utilities, maintenance and upkeep of the store are also funded by the store’s proceeds. “All of these expenses, for both the Thrift Shop and the Library Building, are covered from income generated by the Library Thrift Shop, Library Club membership dues, donations, and fund raising events such as our annual Book, Bake, and Plant Sale,” Triplet said.

The event features 150 unique soup bowls created especially for this event by local area potters along with an extensive variety of soups, bread and desserts donated by local area individuals and restaurants.

The first 150 people to purchase $40 dinner tickets will receive a bowl of their choice to use and keep as a memento of this community collaboration. Tickets can also be purchased for the dinner without a bowl for $15.

As in past years, the evening is billed as a casual and fun event. Musical entertainment by Craig Stokke and Cat Freshwater will highlight the day. After selecting a one-of-a-kind bowl, participants can tempt their taste buds by choosing from more than 20 types of soups and an array of desserts. Proceeds from the Soup Bowl support the many community programs and services offered by the TCWRC including: education, outreach, direct and emergency services, and shelter.

This year, community members will also have the option to purchase a 2012 Soup Bowl cookbook. The cookbook features a collection of soup, bread and dessert recipes from local individuals and area restaurants. Cookbooks will be available during the Soup Bowl event and at the TCWRC office.

Nestucca Jr.-Sr. High School Principal Randy Wharton directs attention to the excavated area where the modular building which will house the Nestucca Valley branch of Tillamook Bay Community College will soon sit. The excavation is very nearly complete. All that remains is for the construction workers to dig trenches for water and sewer lines and pour cement for the foundation. According to school district Superintendent Kathryn Hedrick, the movers expect to start bringing in the building components around April 27, weather permitting. The building will be the home to technology classes as well as AP already taught at the high school. It is also possible that evening community resources will be taught there as well. The district hopes to begin using the building this coming school year.

ODFW to host family fishing event at Hebo Lake

The Committee to Elect Lisa Phipps

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will host a Family Fishing Event Saturday, April 21 at Hebo Lake from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

ODFW staff and volunteers will be on hand to assist youngsters who want to learn how to fish. The department will loan equipment including rods and reels to youngsters who do not have their own, and will also provide bait.

Angling education program instructors and volunteers will be present to answer questions and offer assistance to less experienced fishermen.

“This is an excellent opportunity for anyone to discover fishing, or get reacquainted if they have been away from the sport for a while,” said Ron

Rehn, Salmon Trout Enhancement Program biologist for ODFW’s North Coast Watershed.

Under Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations, anglers ages 13 and under can fish for free while those 14-17 will need to have a juvenile angling license, which can be purchased in advance at ODFW field stations and license outlets — but not on site the day of the event. Hebo Lake is a 2-acre lake located 3 ½ miles east of the Hebo Ranger Station on the Hebo Mountain Road. From Hebo, take Hwy. 22 ¼ miles east, then turn left onto Forest Road 14. The U.S. Forest Service, which manages the lake and campground, will waive the $5 day use fee during this event. Overnight camping fees will continue to apply.

A Soaring Affair Avian lovers flock to 9th annual Birding & Blues Festival

M

ore than a hundred birders had their binoculars at the ready, their ears open and their dancing shoes in turbo drive during three days of field trips, seminars and entertainment as avian enthusiasts celebrated their feathered friends during the ninth annual Pacific City Birding & Blues Festival, April 13-15.

A total of 115 registrants went on 17 field trips — and laid claim to spotting 105 varieties of birds — with most attending more than one trip. A total of 243 spots were filled on trips that ranged from the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge to kayak trips to the scenic beauty of Whalen Island.

Weekend entertainment was also popular as a Saturday night concert featuring the sounds of the Sandy Saunders Band and the Strange Tones attracted approximately 150 blues lovers.

“The success and reach of the event continues to grow each year,” said festival chair Jeremy Strober. “We were excited to see our motels full, our restaurants busy, and people in the galleries and shops.”

He said that the event attracted participants from as far away as Virginia.

“It has become a festival that attracts people from all over as well as many from right here in Lincoln and Tillamook Counties,” he said.

Strober credits the inclusive-minded approach to both the trips and seminars as the festival’s secret to its popularity.

“Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, you’re made to feel a part of the interactive, low-key nature of the presentations and trips,” he said. “The festival gives back a lot to the community, but it couldn’t go on without support. A big thank goes to all the sponsors and volunteers that make the festival happen.”

The Pacific City Birding and Blues Festival will make its 10th go-round

April 12-14, 2013. Strober said that plans are already underway to make it one to remember.

“We hope to apply and receive some grant money to help increase the quality of our offerings and to amp it up a little bit,” he said.

FISHERMAN Mike Stortz recently caught this summer stealhead on the Nestucca.

Waiting on the Springers

By PAT GEFRE for the Sun I just received the new ground fish regulations for the ocean. Could they make things any tougher to understand? I hope some of you fish with attorneys. They read as follows.

Beginning April 1: Inside of the 30 fathom line: Groundfish can be retained from April 1st through September 30th.

Pacific Halibut can be retained with groundfish from May 1st through October 31st on days during which the ALL DEPTH Pacific Halibut fishery is closed.

Beginning April 1st between the 30 fathom and 40 fathom lines: Near shore will still be open to 40 fathoms beginning May 1st. Groundfish may be retained in the near shore halibut fishery, but may not be on board your boat beyond 30 fathoms.

Cabezon opens April 1st. No more than 1 of the 7 marine fish (rockfish greenling, etc.)

Bag limit may be a Cabezon.

The 30 and 40-fathom lines are defined by a series of way points connected by straight lines. See the 2012 Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations for additional information (size limits, seasons, possession limits, closed areas, fish ID, etc.)

Regulations, waypoints, and inseason regulation changes are online at WWW.dfw.state.or.us/MRP/fishing_sport.asp You really have to sit and think about these regulations, there is quite a

bit to try and wrap your head around.

In addition, I am hearing rumors of new hook regulations in regards to barbless hooks being required for bottom fish when salmon fishing season opens.This I’m told is due to some Federal regulations. I will try to be better informed on that one later as we near salmon season.

Meanwhile, back on the Nestucca River, things have really slowed down.

Winter steelheads are still around though few in numbers. There have been a few reported summer steelhead starting to show. Spring chinook are just a ghost story currently, with only two confirmed fish caught so far. Not many are fishing here for springers, all the attention has focused on the Willamette and Columbia Rivers where springer season is in full swing. Our (north coast) runs of springers don’t really get fishable numbers until the middle to the end of May with June being our best month. Still, there are always a few early spring salmon around and with almost zero fishing pressure it can be an enjoyable day on the river with almost no one else around. There’s just something about the feeling that you’re the only boat on the river that I always enjoy. The Nestucca is one of those rivers that from river level you really get the feeling you are in a wilderness setting.

The majority of farms and homes are not visible from the river and all you see from a boat is the wild river setting.

That combined with the possibility of an early springer have me wanting to go fishing on the Nestucca and soon!

A Tender Tale

Nestucca High students to perform Cinderella, April 25, 27 & 28

By DEE MOORE for the Sun

T

he magic of Rogers and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella” is coming to Nestucca Valley High School this next week. The Spring Musical is gearing up to raise its curtains to the community on April 25.

Few can deny the enchantment of watching Cinderella go from rags to riches when she discovers that true love can be all that she hoped and her happily-ever-after has finally come.

Amid the squeals and giggles will be music and emotion, young love and opportunities — all things that high school students dream of and long for — and with that will be a bit of rousing entertainment for audience members.

This year Jessica Elder will take the lead as Cinderella, originally played by Julie Andrews, Leslie Ann Warren in 1965 and later in 1997 by Brandi.

Written in 1957 by the dynamic musical duo, it was written for television and is the only musical ever written specifically for TV. The original broadcast was seen by over a million people.

Prince Christopher will be played

by Brian Anderson; Mackenzie Cook will portray the Fairy Godmother; and Valora Brunner will be the Evil Step Mother.

Filling the roles of Cinderella’s cruel step-sisters are Andrea Polivka as Joy and Jenny Sewell as Grace. The part of Lionel the herald will be filled by Brandon McKillip while Taylor Sewell will be taking the part of the King and Aubryn Ouska of the Queen.

Student support staff includes: Stage Manager, Patrick Hedrick; Lights, Photo by Dee Moore Dakota Kirkpatrick; and Sound, Nathan THE 50th anniversary of Nestucca High School musicals will premiere Hirsch.

SLATER SMITH will be featured at Folk Fellowship’s The Mercantile, 24747 Highway 101 South, Beaver, on Saturday, April 28. Showtime is at 7 p.m. and admission is by donation.

A Youthful Flavor

Slater Smith brings his youthful musical energy to The Mercantile on April 28

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

F

or up and coming folk artist Slater Smith, it all started when he picked up a beatup and stiff Yamaha guitar when as a youth, his family moved to Sisters. Now boasting a sound and style that’s been influenced by the likes of the 1990s music of Match Box 20 and Counting Crows and enriched from hiking trips to the mountains of Nepal, Smith will bring his raw yet theatrical sound to Folk Fellowship’s hall at Beaver’s The Mercantile on April 28.

Showtime is at 7 p.m. and admission is by donation.

It may have been a modest beginning, says Folk Fellowship founder Fred Bassett, but is one that is destined for the big things.

“He’s really got a nice style and some great original songs,” sad Bassett.

“He’s a delightful young man and has got a great future ahead of him, but we get him first.”

Born 1989 in Portland and raised in the Cascades near the Three Sisters Mountains, Smith’s eclectic lyrics on his February 2012 release “The Weather Machine” reflect a wide range of experiences, from the mountains of Nepal where he spent a summer hiking and doing charity work, to the high deserts of Morocco where he studied abroad. Slater cites The White Stripes as his greatest early influence.

“As a kid it all sounded raw and strange,” he says, “new and old at the same time.”

He began to follow alternative rock

bands such as Modest Mouse and The Strokes with their “off-the-cuff lyrics” that “were more about attitude than the words themselves.”

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

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

Smith says the music of “The Weather Machine” remains exposed and honest, while still very much part of an act.

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

The April 28 house concert will also feature performances by Bassett and Jim Loughrie. The Mercantile’s rustic hall is located at 24747 Highway 101 South in Beaver. Call 503-398-5720 or visit www.folkfellowship.com for more information.

Raffle drawing to mark NVS spring play

O

n Friday, April 27, Neskowin Valley School will draw four winning tickets for four fabulous vacations on opening night of the school’s spring play, “Shook-Up Shakespeare.” The drawing will happen at 6:30 p.m., with the play following at 7. Raffle ticket holders need not be present to win, but all are welcome to join the fun.

NVS students will also present the play at the Lincoln City Cultural Center at 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 28. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for children under 12.

The play, a series of four Shakespeare plays condensed to approximately 10 minutes each, is from a series called Playing with Plays, edited by Brendan P. Kelso.

Three tragedies, “Romeo and Juliet,” “Macbeth” and “Hamlet,” will be relieved by one comedy, A “Midsummer Night’s Dream.”

NVS drama teacher Jane Elliott chose the dramas for the variety of parts the 3rd-8th graders will play—most students will play at least 5 characters. The madcap pace will be punctuated by famous lines from each play and plenty of costume changes.

“These students did a dramatic version of “Orpheus” and “Eurydice” with about a week of practice, so I have full confidence that they will do a great job with more time on these plays,” said Elliott. Students are painting scenery and building props for the play and help choose and create their costumes.

The last chances at Vacation Raffle tickets will end at 4:30 p.m. on the 27th. This year’s vacations include a week for two in Maui, a $2400 travel voucher for the vacation of your choice, a week at an exceptional Oregon Coast house on Cascade Head and four days at Great Wolf Lodge, a water funpark in Washington State. Tickets are $25 each or five for $100. Fewer than 2500 total tickets will be sold and that number is divided four ways for each of the vacations. To order tickets, please contact a NVS parent, board or staff member or call the school at 503-392-3124.

The Inspirational Sounds will bring their Black gospel style sound to Nestucca Valley Presbyterian Church on Saturday, May 5 during a Pacific City Arts Association event of music and praise. Tickets for the 6 p.m. concert are available at Pacific City Inn, 35280 Brooten Road (503-965-6464) or the Rowboat Gallery, 34950 Brooten Road (503-965-4590).

PCAA brings rousing sounds of traditional Black gospel-style singers to Pacific City on May 5

ounds of praise will ring out at Nestucca Valley Presbyterian Church on Saturday, May 5 when the Inspirational Sounds return to Pacific City for a night of singing, clapping and celebrating. Showtime for the Pacific City Arts Association event is 6 p.m. and doors open at 5:30 p.m.

A non-denominational community gospel choir hailing from Eugene, the group performed to an enthusiastic Pacific City audience in 2009.

Christopher Stubbs directs the 18-member choir and also plays keyboards. Kathy Vrzak serves as the assistant director. Membership includes singers from Eugene, Springfield, Cottage Grove, and Corvallis. The group is a unique gospel choir because it includes a large percentage of non-African Americans but still retains a traditional Black gospel choir sound. The choir encourages audiences to become involved, joining them in clapping, shouting, singing, and celebrating.

“We try to include the audience in the performance — getting them to clap and stand,” says 23-year veteran Carol Texley. “It’s joyful. You can’t just sit there — the music pulls you in one way or another. We like to have people stand and clap and sway.”

John Gainer, a former University of Oregon music professor, founded the choir in 1983. Inspirational Sounds performs traditional African-American, call-and-response style music as well more contemporary gospel songs at venues ranging from Eugene’s Saturday Market to the Oregon State Legislature to New York’s Lincoln Center.

The group is well known throughout the state of Oregon for its energetic renditions of gospel music and is often featured at Martin Luther King Day celebrations in Portland and Eugene.

“I call Inspirational Sounds a choir of joy,” said Texley. “It’s a joyful praising of God through music.”

Stimulus Café owners to take over operation of Five River Coffee Roastery & Café in Tillamook

T

he Pacific City company known for brewing international award-winning beer is about to learn the coffee roasting business as it takes over operations at Five Rivers Coffee Roastery & Café in Tillamook.

Pelican Brewing Co., operator of Pelican Pub & Brewery and Stimulus Espresso Café in Pacific City, announced on April 12 that it will begin operating Five Rivers Coffee Roastery & Café June 1.

The café is located opposite the Tillamook Cheese factory on U.S. Highway 101 North.

“We have a unique and valuable opportunity to learn the coffee roasting business from experts in the industry, Keith and Barbara Powell, who have built the Five Rivers brand into a very successful, high quality business,” said Mary Jones, who co-owns with Jeff Schons, Ken Henson and Darron Welch, the Pelican Pub & Brewery and Stimulus Espresso Café, both in Pacific City. “We also want to expand the café and create a special place in Tillamook for locals and tourist alike; a comfortable place to gather with friends and family.

Stimulus Cafe in Pacific City has been a great success story for all of us personally, and we will take what we’ve learned so far to Tillamook and add coffee roast-

The Tillamook Five Rivers Café will operate from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. seven days a week including drivethrough service. After a planned “facelift,” including new paint and furnishings, the café will emanate the vibe of an artisan roastery, providing quality, freshroasted coffee, said Jones. “It will be a relaxing and comfortable place.”

Initially the café will feature a small menu featuring “excellent coffee and espresso drinks, great pastries and possibly light lunch items,” said Jones, adding that the menu will grow over the first year. “We will start simply, learn what our customers want, then grow and improve slowly over time.”

Stimulus Espresso Café Manager Dan Ressegger is learning to roast coffee from existing Five Rivers owners Keith and Barbara Powell, who have won many awards for their special blends of coffee over the years. Ressengger will manage both Stimulus Espresso Café and Five Rivers Café and will also serve as the lead coffee roaster.

Meanwhile, fans of Five Rivers’ award-winning coffee blends will continue to be able to purchase their favorites online and in the café, said Jones.

They also plan to sell Pelican bottled beer to go.

efore the white settlers in Tillamook County, the Tillamook, Nehalem and Nestucca Indians roamed the hills and valleys and traveled up and down the rivers and coast in large canoes.

The Tillamook Indian’s main village was on the east side of Tillamook Bay at the mouth of the Kilchis River, on Tillamook Point. Chief Kilchis and Illga’ were the leaders of the Tillamook tribe.

Illga was an expert trapper and very skillful with a canoe. He made many trips out over the Tillamook Bar and up the coast into the Columbia with his canoe to trade with the Hudson Bay Company trading post at Astoria. He married a Clatsop maiden and took her to his home in Tillamook County. She had been raised in a convent near Yamhill after her parents were killed. She created quite a sensation when she arrived in Tillamook, because she wore clothes of a white woman and not a grass skirt, such as the Tillamook Indians wore. She was very accomplished, for she could sew, make tents, and make bread and cook potatoes.

Illga and his wife had four children, three daughters and a son. The son died when only a young man. Father Adrian Joseph Coquet, a Catholic priest from Grande Ronde, came into the county and started baptizing the natives, giving them English names. He changed Illga to Adam, his wife to Maggie and daughter’s names to Emma, Jane and Elisabeth (Lizzie).

The family became known as the Adam’s family and lived along Tillamook Bay. They witnessed several Tillamook historical events such as the arrival of white settler Joe Champion, and the building and launching of the Morning Star. Illga Adams died in 1890 and was instrumental in negotiations between the United States government and the Tillamook on land issues and is remembered for his peaceful nonviolent negations of the ungratified Tansy Point Treaty in 1851.

After Illga’s death, Maggie and her daughter moved to Hobsonville in what is present day Garibaldi, only a few miles from Kilchis point. This area was known as “Squawtown” by the white settlers. The family lived in a multigenerational household supported by the sisters’ incomes earned by working as hotel housekeepers, laundresses, and selling baskets to tourists. They often

Maggie and her three girls were experts in the art of basket weaving.

They made them for various purposes, including the heavy clam baskets made of spruce roots, cooking baskets, woven so tightly that they held water and ornamental type baskets, which they sold to the white settlers. They also made mats of reeds and course grasses found in swampy places along the bay. Maggie was a member of the Clatsop tribe and died in 1912 at the age of 113 or 115. Illga and his wife Maggie had both survived the cholera epidemic of 1830.

Lizzie was the youngest of the Adam’s daughters. She was about 10 years younger than her older sisters Emma and Jane who were born around 185056. Even though many of their relatives moved to the Grand Ronde Reservation, the family continued to live off the land by fishing and hunting. They grew up in a quickly changing cultural environment as more white settlers came into the area.

The girls attended the local schools and learned some English. The cultural practice of using a cradle board to flatten the forehead used during Maggie’s generation was discontinued for her daughters.

Lizzie was a caregiver to her nieces and helped raise and provide for them.

Lizzie learned basket making from her mother, who wove many baskets for her grandchildren. Lizzie was the most talented basket maker and made more

than either of her sisters. Lizzie was known for her skill and taught her nieces traditional methods of making baskets.

Most of the surviving Tillamook basket style is defined by Lizzie’s personal work. She often used a larger stitch gauge because of her failing vision and used raffia which was easier to obtain in her old age than traditional grasses.

In 1936, Margureite Stasek convinced Lizzie’s niece Mable Burns and grandniece Rena Goff Boyer to donate many of their family’s possessions including baskets to the Tillamook Pioneer Museum.

Lizzie died in 1933 at the age of 61 or 73 (birth records not available). The Tillamook Burn was raging during the time of her death and the newspapers were distracted by the tragedy of the fire and did not publish an obituary on Lizzie’s death until her sister Jane died in 1942.

The Tillamook Pioneer Museum has many artifacts from the Adam’s family.

They have canoe diggers and bailers and a Hudson Bay chest purchased by Illga when trading with the company in Astoria. A large exhibit of Native American baskets are on display until July 24 and include many made by Maggie, Lizzie and her nieces.

When Nestucca senior Hine Roberts talks about her sport she speaks this way, too. The only difference is that Roberts is speaking about a horse.

When she speaks of bonding with a horse, the equestrian team president’s eyes glow. She speaks of knowing her animal’s every move before the animal does. She slips into the zone.

THE NESTUCCA BOBCATS in action vs. the Portland Christian Royals. The ‘Cats won one of three.

Bobcats look to regain momentum

By DEE MOORE for the Sun

T

he Nestucca Bobcat’s have hit a wall. They’ve lost four games in a row and now they are struggling to get their mojo back.

The team was on fire earlier in the season with five wins in a row culminating in a 16-5 win against Waldport. Since then they have only won one game, a victory against Portland Christian, but they gave up the other two games of the series to the Royals.

Currently the team’s overall record is 6-6, while their league record is 4-3. They are third in the league.

Portland Christian sits in first and Knappa at second. The team has so far scored 86 runs, allowed 65, is ranked 32 and has an RPI of 428.65. There are 13 games left in the regular season, still enough time to pull ahead.

On April 20 the Cats face Gaston in a double header that may prove to be a difficult game if it is anything like their last matchup. The team took on the Greyhounds on April 17 with disastrous results.

Nestucca lost 14-6 in 8 innings.

That loss included a series of unfortunate accidents and missteps according to head coach, Ken Richwine.

“We again struggled in the second inning giving up three runs when we should have gotten out of the inning with no runs scored,” Richwine said. “We battled back in the bottom half of the second inning to tie it up.”

After which it just got crazy.

“We had a batter hit by a pitch and two walks with two outs and three on base when Max Kirkendall hit a three-run triple down the left field line,” he said.

“We tied it up in the bottom of the seventh to go into extra innings.

“Taylor Hulburt pitched up to that point throwing a great game. In the bottom of the seventh he had a close play at first and collided with Gaston’s first baseman and ended up hurting his knee and had to come out of the game,” Richwine said. The coach hopes he will be healthy and back in play for a April 20 game.

Cody Chance took over for Hulburt after he left the field and things were going well. The team had two strikes then once again fickle fate stepped in and things fell apart.

“We had two walks, then an error then Gaston had a nice hit and it got a little strange from there. We gave Gaston nine runs before we got out of the inning.

We got one run back but not enough obviously,” Richwine said.

The Cats played at Toledo last Friday losing 8-2 and once again the second inning was the team’s Achillie’s heel.

“We gave up 6 runs in the second inning. Other than that we played well defensively. We struggled at the plate most of the day, but we were putting it in play — just not solid hits,” the coach said.

Standout players in that game were Max Kirkendall with a base hit and a walk in the seventh, giving the team the opportunity for their first run of the game and Austin Bentley who pitched the first four innings.

Lady ‘Cats building for the future

By DEE MOORE for the Sun

T

he Nestucca Lady Bobcats softball team is reaping the reward for all their efforts this season.

Though they recently lost two games, they are a solid second in the league — not far behind Knappa with 6-1. They are also second overall with 6-3. The team has scored 98 runs, allowed 69 runs, is ranked 20 and has an RPI of 476.82.

Girls head coach Jeff Schiewe has nothing but praise for his team and their efforts.

“Although it was one-sided in Gaston’s favor, our team is showing a lot of improvement,” Schiewe said.

Gaston won the game 0-10 in 5 innings.

“Jasmine Boisa pitched a good game, she attacked the outside edge of the plate well, and the umpire’s strike zone was a little inside.”

Sunny McCall also played a really good game behind the plate as catcher for the ‘Cats.

“She is stopping some tough-to-catch balls and making strike throws on runners attempting to steal,” he said.

McCall also recorded Nestucca’s only hit.

Other exceptional plays were made by Emma Hig-

don and Emily Menefee. Higdon caught two deep fly balls in center field and Menefee threw a girl out at the plate from left field, the coach said.

“We are starting to get more efficient against teams and if we cut down on mistakes, then these scores may turn around. Players are starting to back each other up, and that is cutting down on extra bases by the other team,” Schiewe said.

The team played Toledo last April 13 losing 11-1 in 4 ½ innings.

“It was a good experience. It was the first 60-plus mph pitcher that the Bobcats have seen. Toledo opened with three runs in the bottom of the first,” Schiewe said.

“McCall stole second on a passed ball, advanced to third on a hit by Jessica Ackerman. McCall then stole home on the passed ball. It was one of those plays where the one who executes best wins,” he said.

The other hit on the night came from Mariah DeVos. “We hope to finish strong in league. With only one senior, we are young and not only are we looking for a successful outcome this year, but we are building for the future, too,” Schiewe said.

Portland Christian did not show for the home game scheduled on April 18, forfeiting.

Leaping over the competition

By DEE MOORE for the Sun

T

he Nestucca track team is on fire this season. A David among Goliaths, the home town team is blowing the socks off some very fierce competitors.

“We had a track meet last Thursday at Seaside,” said John Elder, head coach and Nestucca athletic director. “We had never been there for a meet before. Our opponents were Seaside and Yamhill-Carlton, both 4A schools. We competed very well, with a total of 39 PRs for Boys and Girls.”

“Nick Ahn had a great day, getting four lifetime bests in High Jump (6-4), Pole Vault (11-0), Javelin (144-5, 30 foot PR), and Triple Jump.

Elder praised both Cody Aalsma and Zach Langely. Aalsma achieved seasonal bests in the 1500M and the 800M as well as a PR for his split in the 4 X 400 Relay. Langely had three PRs in the throwing events.

Stellar achievements aren’t limited to the men’s team. The women are bringing it, too.

“Freshman Courtney Ahn exploded in her events, with a 10 second PR on second place finish for 800 meters, and running the 3000 for the first time (also second place) in 12:35.0; the second best time ever for a Nestucca Freshman,” he said.

Kycie Richwine saw her first action of the season in the 100 and 200 meter dashes, Elder said.

She placed 3rd in each event. Brittany Hurliman won the high jump at 5-0.

“Overall we were pleased with the number of PRs, despite the very windy conditions. Our kids competed very well against two traditionally powerful track programs. We now head into a three-week period right before District with league meets each week, starting this week with Neah-Kah-Nie, and finishing at home on May 3,” Elder said.
