E-Waste event nets Nestucca Senior SAFE more than $650 An e-waste collection fundraising event, held Jan. 9 at the county’s three transfer stations, collected a total of 16,794 pounds of used electronic devices, an effort that will translate into $1,007.64 in contributions to Tillamook County’s three high schools for either senior SAFE committees or athletic teams.

Sponsored by the Tillamook County Solid Waste Department, the effort saw the biggest contribution at the Pacific City Transfer Station, which is now being operated by the Solid Waste Department. It was there that 10,863 pounds of electronic devices including computers, monitors and TVs, phones, printers, scanners, keyboards and more were collected, a feat that will earn Nestucca’s Senior SAFE program $651.78.

Meanwhile, Tillamook High School collected 2,658 pounds at the Tillamook Transfer Station, an effort that will net its SAFE committee $159.48 while Neah-Kah-Nie High School amassed 3,273 pounds at the Manzanita Transfer Sta-

tion, good enough to put $196.38 into the coffers of its track team.

The event was run by school advocates, the operators of the Tillamook County’s three transfer stations, and county staff.

“We were very happy to be able to offer this service to our community, as well as support students at all three high schools,” said David McCall, manager of the Tillamook County Solid Waste Program. “The timing for these events was good, and the weather cooperated as well. The success of this event in South County was especially great, and confirmed our decision to include the Pacific City Transfer Station in the Oregon E-Cycle program starting this year. Now residents can drop off their e-waste for no charge at all three Tillamook County transfer stations during their normal hours of operation.”

For more information, visit www.co.tillamook.or.us/gov/ SolidWaste or call 503-815-3975.

ODFW Commission sets recreational groundfish regulations The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Commission set harvest specifications and season structure for recreational groundfish during its Jan. 15 meeting in Salem. Oregon’s rules are based on the federal rules adopted by the Pacific Fishery Management Council and 2016 harvest limits are the same as last year.

This year’s recreational ground fish regulations will be a seven-fish daily bag limit for all marine fish, which includes rockfish, greenling, and cabezon, no more than one of which may be a cabezon or canary rockfish, and no more than three of which may be a blue or deacon rockfish.

The Commission also set by rule the

average market price per pound of each species of fish commercially-harvested in Oregon. These values are adopted every January and are used to set damages in criminal cases associated with the unlawful taking of food fish.

Appointed as the chair of the statewide Access and Habitat Board was James Morrell, of Sisters, Ore. That board distributes grants that improve hunting access and wildlife habitat on private lands.

The Commission was also briefed on a proposal to streamline the big game tag setting process. The Commission was generally supportive of the proposal but did want to see information about the following year’s season structure and

changes in advance of the meeting.

The proposed new process would set tag numbers the September before the calendar year, basing tags on multiple year population trends instead of spring counts. Wildlife managers could still make emergency changes to tag numbers in spring if there were major population changes in wildlife herds. Under the new process, the Commission would consider big game regulations and tag numbers just once a year in September, after an informational briefing in August.

The new process will allow ODFW to print the season’s final tag numbers in the regulations each year. Currently, the previous year’s tag numbers are shown in the regulations.

NEWS&COMMUNITY

Loose

Dedicated to Service

By VERNE MOBLEY Lion Membership Chairman

The Nestucca Valley Lions Club is dedicated to our motto – “We Serve.” On Monday, Jan. 18, we installed the flags on the bridge in Pacific City and the downtown of beautiful Cloverdale. Hey! Don’t they look great?!! Lion President Kris Weiland makes sure they go up on the bridge and Dorothy Gann and Corrine Paratore whip us around in Cloverdale, and we jump when they say “jump!!” Thanks, ladies!!

Our main recipients of the funds we raise go to our NVHS seniors. Also, much of our money goes to get glasses, check-ups, and help with hearing problems for our local people who need help.

The whole Nestucca Valley Christmas Basket Program is now in the books.

The only way to describe it was “so successful.” Thanks go to our Lions, Nesko women, and our fire department. Such dedication!! Thanks always go to our community people and others who donated money and merchandise.

Wow! Good folks! We had just enough of both to make it work.

More good news! We have two new people ready to become Nestucca Valley Lions. Linda Link will join us. What a positive, dedicated, and fun lady.

Sheriff Andy Long discusses need for a bigger police presence in the Pacific City area

But is the community willing to pay for it?

That may be another matter.

regon Parks & Recreation Department unveiled its preliminary proposed park plan for the Sitka Sedge State Natural Area during a public meeting held Jan. 14 at Kiawanda Community Center in Pacific City. Key components of the current park plan include 4.5 miles of hiking trails and a 25-car parking lot.

Recently named for the plant that shares the same name, which is a feature on the site, Sitka Sedge is a parcel known locally as the Beltz property and is a part of the Sand Lake Estuary. The Beltz name will be retained via geographical features on the site as Beltz Dike and Beltz Creek will retain their names.

Meeting presenter Ben Hedstrom, OPRD landscape design and planning coordinator, told the small crowd that the process began with taking a look at what areas were most suitable for development and what portions deserved protection. Following a grading system that illustrated just that, OPRD came up with its recommendations for the new state natural area.

TRAIL PLANS The preliminary plan calls for 4.5 miles of trails that will include a .5 mile hike (1 mile round trip) to the end of the dune.

“We’re proposing graveling the top of (the dike) trail, 60 inches wide (with a) hard, compacted gravel surface,” Hedstrom said. “This will be accessible to most people — wheelchairs, people with a cart.”

As well, there will be two loop trails.

Starting at the end of the dike trail, a north loop will take explorers on a 2.25-mile hike (counting the dike trail) through a mid-seral forest, kinnikinnick, and a saltwater estuary with occasional views to Whalen Island and the ocean.

A south trail loop will highlight a dense pine forest.

According to OPRD’s trail assessments, most trails are in good shape, but some need resurfacing and there are five to six areas that need slight rerouting to reduce either existing erosion or a severe grade.

There will also be two or three signed places where people will be able to cut across the dunes to access the beach.

“Realistically our main concern is getting signs so people can get back over and find the spot where they can get to

the trail because you can get lost in that dune pretty easily,” Hedstrom said.

There are three viewing areas planned along the trails — the closest one (to the parking lot) will be in the middle of the dike trail, about one-quarter mile out. That spot, said Hedstrom, will likely feature a bench on either side of the trail and will make an ideal spot for those not able to walk far to stop and enjoy the view. Shaded by trees, the spot will provide views to the estuary on both sides of the dike.

“We were there a couple of weeks ago and a bald eagle flew out of a tree,” Hedstrom recounted. “(It’s a) pretty spectacular place to watch the birds.”

Another viewing spot is proposed for the end of the dike where OPRD would like to install some kind of viewing platform where visitors can set up a scope for bird watching. “(It will be) something more substantial so you can spend a little more time at the end of the dike,” Hedstrom added. “It provides views where birds spend a lot of time roosting. It would be a spectacular place to watch birds throughout the day.”

The third and final viewing area would be at a knoll located in the middle of the property that will offer a dedicated wildlife viewing area and panoramic views of the estuary.

“We’re building a short little trail out to this knoll from the interior south loop trail,” Hedstrom said. “We think this is a great spot to provide a bench, small platform (and) maybe eat lunch and take it all in.”

PARKING APLENTY Planned parking for Sitka Sedge will be off Sandlake Road on the northern portion of the property. Twenty-five parking spaces are planned with two ADA spots and two bus/rv spaces. In addition, the parking area is slated to include restrooms, a picnic area, a kiosk, bicycle racks and trailhead access.

Hedstrom said the parking lot size was arrived at after looking at the visitation numbers at comparable properties in the area including Clay Myers State Natural Area and Cape Lookout State Park. Another consideration, he said, was the numbering of trail miles. For comparison, Clay Myers has 15 spots and 2.5 miles of trails.

SURVEY RESULTS Hedstrom also devoted a portion of the meeting to review survey results from the public. When asked about what people though of when someone

OREGON PARKS & RECREATION DEPARTMENT is proposing 4.5 miles of trails for the Sitka Sedge State Natural Area, which is slated to open in 2017. The trail system would include a .5-mile hike along Beltz Dike as well as three different viewpoints.

The dike trail would feature a compacted gravel surface and be accessible to most people including those in wheelchairs. mentions the property, survey answers revolved around the common themes of “natural, beautiful and pristine.” Ditto for its benefits. Additional perceived benefits brought forth from the survey included its wildlife and access, as well as its potential for environmental education and the flat surface of its trails, something expected to benefit senior citizens.

“This has a very nice flat walking surface out to one of the most beautiful places on the coast,” Hedstrom said.

“We see that as a benefit.”

As for what people would like to see changed or added, though respondents were keen on the addition of parking, signage and more trails, they wanted

very little else changed.

Hedstrom also discussed “park values” that OPRD has drafted that included statements on natural resources, history, community and recreation.

FISH PASSAGE Perhaps the most controversial decision revolving around the new area will be that of fish passage, an issue that Trevor Taylor, OPRD stewardship division manager, addressed at the last part of the meeting.

The challenge, said Taylor, is to improve passage and thus access to species like coho salmon — and possibly chum salmon and steelhead — to the Sand Lake Estuary.

He presented three possible scenar-

PLANNED PARKING for Sitka Sedge will be off Sandlake Road on the northern portion of the property. Twenty-five parking spaces are planned with two ADA spots and two bus/rv spaces. In addition, the parking area is slated to include restrooms, a picnic area, a kiosk, bicycle racks and trailhead access. ios: one would be the status quo, which be keeping the existing tide gate over Sand Lake Road. Taylor said the problem with the current system is that it doesn’t meet federal or state standards. Because the tide gate flap is missing a section, there is a gap on the bottom that allows water to flow onto the site.

The first alternative would be to simply remove the gate, which would allow water to flow naturally through the four- by four-foot culvert. The second option would be to create a 18-foot opening in its place with a pedestrian bridge spanning the gap in the dike.

If the current system were to be

retained, that would keep in place the estuary’s diverse nature as it features both freshwater and salter marshes. If the tide gate were to be removed, that would push the freshwater marsh back to just the fringes of the estuary. Similarly, if the opening were to be enlarged, you would further impact the freshwater species as well as have more open water during high tide and a bigger mud flat during low tide.

“Basically you’re getting a lot more of the saltwater influence, a lot more of the natural estuary influence,” Taylor said. “The biggest issue is that the velocities are (currently) too fast for fish to

move through, especially small fish.”

The change caused by the alternatives would likely also push its namesake — Sitka Sedge — into the fringes.

In any case, he said changes to the dike should not effect those who live and vacation in Tierra Del Mar. He said that because the low point of Tierra Del Mar is 14 feet and the high part of the dike is only 11.6 feet, the dike doesn’t offer flood protection to the residential community.

PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD Those interested on making comments and suggestions to OPRD staff as they work towards the park’s draft master plan can make their voice heard by visiting www.beltzplan.com, where the public will be able to make comments on the map. The master plan will help guide development for passive recreational use as well as the park’s longterm resource management. Trail name suggestions are also being taken.

Following completion of the draft master plan, OPRD will take its document to the OPRD commission for approval, followed by discussions with Tillamook County to ensure all items in the master plan fit within the Tillamook County Comprehensive Plan.

Expected to officially open in early 2017, some trail improvement projects will likely start this upcoming spring, but design development and permitting isn’t expected to be completed until late 2016. OPRD’s next public meeting, which will feature a discussion around the draft master plan, is expected to occur this upcoming spring, but an exact time, date and place had not been set at press time.

TAPA to audition for ‘The Great Gatsby’ Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts will hold open auditions Jan. 30-31 for “The Great Gatsby,” written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, adapted for the stage by Simon Levy, and directed by Steele Fleisher.

Fitzgerald’s classic story is a trip back to prohibition America, the roaring 1920s and the shallowness of the nouveau-rich. The stage version faithfully follows the well-known novel about the young and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and his quixotic passion and obsession for the beautiful, rich former debutante, Daisy Buchanan.

Her cousin, Nick, is drawn into the captivating world of the wealthy, bears witness to their deceits, and pens us a tale of impossible love, dreams, and tragedy.

TAPA is looking for up to nine men and four women, age mid-20s to mid-40s. No previous experience is necessary. Auditions will be held at the Tillamook United Methodist Church, located at 3808 12th St in Tillamook, on Saturday, Jan. 30 and Sunday, Jan. 31, starting at 2 p.m. Performances will run May 6-21. Auditions packets are available at www.tillamooktheater.com, at the Tillamook County Library, or by e-mailing TAPA at info@tillamooktheater.com. TAPA is a non-profit community theater dedicated to providing high quality performing arts experiences through entertainment, education, and community participation.

GUITARIST DUSTIN BUSCH will bring his improvisational musical talents — with a bent for the blues and old time music — to Stimulus Espresso Cafe, Saturday, Jan. 23, 4-6 p.m. Call 503-965-4661 for more information.

Midwest Melodies Guitarist Dustin Busch to bring his improvisational music to Stimulus Cafe

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

G

uitarist Dustin Busch will bring his 20 years of musical experience to Stimulus Espresso Cafe, 33105 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City, for an afternoon of blues and old time music Saturday, Jan. 23, 4-6 p.m.

Hailing from the Midwest, Busch has been playing blues for more than 20 years, journeying through the upper Mississippi River Valley and sharing his own flavor of music.

“Every show is different,” he says about his performances, which he says

feature improvisation and his own musical interpretations. “When I play, I try to mix genres. I use American songs and blues songs and folk songs, but I’ll make it improvisational and stretch it out to make it breathe a little. Music is meant to breathe.”

He adds that he likes intimate settings like the one found at Stimulus.

Amongst his career highlights have been playing in the Iowa Opera House Project, the National Folk Alliance Conference, and in South by Southwest, a large musical conference. He’s also played in regional and professional theater in the upper Midwest.

Take a Look into Space Exploration NASA Solar System Ambassador Greg Cermak will present a program on space explorations in the Hatfield Room of the Tillamook County Library, Saturday, Feb. 6, at 2 p.m.

Cermak will discuss some of the events that happened in NASA exploration of the solar system the summer of 2015, including the 10-year journey of New Horizons probe to the dwarf planet Pluto and the Dawn mission to dwarf planet Ceres in the asteroid belt. These missions capped a fivedecade-long era of solar system reconnaissance that began with Venus and

Mars in the early 1960s and continued through first looks of Mercury, Jupiter, and Saturn in the 1970s and Uranus and Neptune in the 1980s.

The July 14 flyby of Pluto occurred 50 years to the day after humans first explored Mars with NASA’s Mariner 4 on July 14, 1965. At this “Science on Tap” event, Cermak will take participants on a tour of five decades of NASA outer solar system exploration and the spacecraft that made it all possible.

High water river conditions inhibit fishing opportunities

By PAT GEFRE for the Sun

E

l Niño, that’s the word for wet and nasty weather, at least it is around here. I can’t remember if this is round two, three, or four, but, suffice to say, it’s another dose of continued rains, long periods of high and unfishable waters in all the north coast rivers. It makes it tough for all those that make there living from the water — the guides haven’t worked very much in the last four weeks.

The Nestucca River is floatable when the river levels 6.5 feet and lower. So far, most of December and January have seen the Nestucca cycling from eight feet to 10 feet, well out of fishable range. Even for bank fishermen this is too high, as when the river is over eight feet it is usually too muddy and too fast to fish.

Lots of fishermen and boaters have been calling because whenever we have high water, inevitably we also have some problems with the river — trees that have fallen in, gravel bars that have moved and fishing drifts that now have changed or moved entirely.

Sometime good fishing spots fill in with gravel and are no longer there and sometimes gravel gets blown out and new spots are created.

There’s good news and bad news. The bad news was that a huge tree had fallen completely across the river just above Camp 101 and blocked the river completely for several days. The good news is with the last high water the humongous tree swung all the way to the bank on the Camp 101 side. In the old days (from times long ago and even a couple of years ago), this would have never become a problem. One of the guides or other fishermen would take stock of the situation, determine that it would

impede fishing and head out with a chain saw and fix the problem. This has been the process for many years, maybe a hundred years, old time guides that are now in their 80s and 90s have expressed that these kinds of problems most likely would have been solved in a few short hours. Not so any more, our overbloated government has inserted itself into the process. Now it’s illegal to remove hazards without permission from, you guessed it, our overreaching government. Now the process is to locate and inform the Tillamook County marine deputy. He then has to go look at the problem, diagnose the cure, and then notify the Oregon State Marine Board. The Oregon State Marine Board then gives or doesn’t give permission to remove the problem. Sometimes this can take days. I liked it better when we just took care of the problems. It didn’t cost the tax payers anything, and we didn’t have so many government employees of the state all trying to justify their employment with the state. So when a peril to boaters exists in the river, why does it take a decision from the government to make it safe again?

Fishing on Three Rivers is starting to wane. Steelhead can be caught there in most any water conditions because, for the most part, those fish stop there and they’re easy to catch. However, this Three Rivers run is an early run usually starting at Thanksgiving and running through December. By January, this run has peaked and the numbers of steelhead are getting smaller. Three Rivers will pick up again in February when the Nestucca fish start showing up. Some of the Nestucca broodstock steelhead are released at the mouth of Three Rivers and some will end up at the hatchery. Because the majority of the February, March and April fish are released at four different locations on the Nestucca River, the bulk of the later run will stay in the Nestucca.

Anglers invited to share choice for spring halibut dates ODFW wants halibut anglers to weigh-in on open dates for the 2016 spring all-depth sport halibut fishery in the Central Coast subarea. And like last year, there are three ways to give feedback — attend a public meeting, participate via webinar, or take an online survey.

The Central Oregon Coast Subarea extends from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mt., and includes most Oregon ports except those in the Astoria area, Gold Beach, and Brookings. The seasons for the Columbia River and Southern Oregon Subareas have already been established for this year.

“The sport halibut fishery is popular, so we want to ensure we hear from as many anglers as possible,” said Lynn Mattes, halibut project leader for ODFW. Participants in the process will help choose the number of spring all-depth “fixed” and “back-up”

dates, and the weeks in which those open dates occur.

The public meeting will begin at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 2 at the ODFW Newport office, 2040 SE Marine Science Drive. Participants can join the meeting online at https://global.gotomeeting. com/join/620143213, or dial in at 1-408-650-3123 Access code: 620-143-213.

Finally, anglers can offer input through an online survey, which will be available at www.dfw. state.or.us/MRP/finfish/halibut/index.asp from Feb. 2-7.

For questions, or to provide additional comments without attending the meeting, anglers can contact Lynn Mattes at 541-867-0300, ext. 237 or at lynn.mattes@state.or.us or Maggie Sommer at 541-867-0300 ext. 227 or at maggie.sommer@state. or.us.

GUESTCOLUMN

Getting Our Brain in Shape

By NEAL LEMERY There’s a lot to learn about our brains, and recently, I heard Dr. Neil Nedley engage several hundred of my friends and neighbors in rich conversations about the human brain.

We can improve our brain’s health, and get it in shape. It’s time for a brain fitness challenge which is as important as working our muscles and getting our bodies in shape.

Yes, we can change our brains, our behavior and our attitudes, and we can change the functioning of our brains.

We can move through depression, anxiety, fear, and other unhealthy “stinking thinking” by improving our nutrition, exercise, social life, and our attitudes! By learning of new developments in brain research, we can improve our thinking and our lives.

Here are some of the things I learned. All this is a great start to a rich community wide education and conversation about mental health and our well being.

Oregon has the second highest suicide rate in the country. Tillamook County has the third highest rate in Oregon. Mental health is an issue we need to address as a community.

The brain has 100 billion nerve cells. There are 100 trillion nerve synapses, and there may be the possibility of ten times that amount. Each one of these cells has 20,000 possible connections. There are thousands of categories of cells.

As complex as the brain is, we now know the brain can repair itself and, with the right tools, even re-wire itself. Our research on the brain is just beginning.

There is a lot we can do to optimize our brains.

Consider the acronym “NEW START.: We need: Nutrition — especially from vegetables. Nutrients in food provide the building blocks of our nerve cells and what makes them function; Exercise — at least 20 minutes a day, ideally using our hands, moving in three dimensions, to stimulate the brain; Water — more than you might think but yes, you can get too much; Sunlight, natural or from a light box; Temperance — Avoid harm. Live in moderation. Practice self-control. Longterm benefits come from delayed gratification; Air — fresh air is vital. Get outside and move; Rest — early to bed, early to rise really does make a person healthy and wise; and Trust — have a trusting relationship with others, with spirit.

DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY

We are experiencing an epidemic. What we have developed to improve happiness actually often impairs brain function. Electronic screens with flickering light reduce frontal lobe activity and induce a hypnotic state in the brain. Increased sexual stimulation actually reduces pleasure and interest. Poor nutrition, lack of exercise and lack of exposure to light and fresh air also reduce the ability of the brain to respond and function.

Twenty-six percent of Americans have a major emotional disorder. Over 50 percent have a minor emotional disorder. This phenomenon is found across all social, economic, and education groups. One quarter of physicians are depressed.

We must look for long-term gain. Once brain health

is optimized, a family is able to leave poverty, reduce violence, addiction, unemployment, and hunger.

The frontal lobe is the least studied aspect of the brain and yet makes up 33 percent of the human brain.

If it is compromised, it affects moral principles, social interaction, judgement and foresight. The frontal lobe takes 30 years to fully develop and is home to such things as abstract reasoning, mathematical understanding, and empathy. When enhanced, the frontal lobe increases a person’s creativity, originality, curiosity and adaptability.

The frontal lobe is the seat of critical thinking. Current research shows that 45 percent of college students lack critical thinking skills. Lifestyle and behavior choices play a large role in the development of the frontal lobe. Drugs that can impair this development include illicit and prescription drugs, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine and marijuana. Alcohol can impair brain function for as long as 30 days after consumption. Repeated use of marijuana lowers IQ permanently, also lowering emotional intelligence (EQ) and motivation.

Intelligence is the capacity to learn, retain, and apply knowledge. Advancing in a job is NOT related to IQ but rather to Emotional Intelligence (EQ). Creativity, logic, and persuasion are tied to EQ. Improved EQ increases longevity, enhances the immune system and improves social relationships. Emotional Intelligence can be taught and increased over one’s lifetime.

“KNOW THYSELF” Enhancing Emotional Intelligence (EQ) occurs in several stages. The first of these involves self-awareness and understanding your own primary and secondary emotions. Why are you feeling that emotion? What thoughts and experiences are tied to that emotion?

Feelings can lie. How we think influences our reactions to problems and situations. Use the THINK technique to identify if these thoughts are helpful or harmful. Are they True, Helpful, Inspiring, Necessary or Kind? This is at the root of “Stinking Thinking.” The second stage of Emotional Intelligence involves the ability to manage our emotions and the thoughts that lead to them.

The third aspect of enhanced Emotional Intelligence is the ability to accurately recognize emotions in others. This is coupled with the ability to practice empathy, or the ability to understand and feel the emotions of another person even though you are not experiencing their situation firsthand.

The final two aspects of Emotional Intelligence have a lot to do with social relationships and “getting ahead” in life. How well we manage relationships with others and how effectively we can motivate others are features of a well-developed EQ. There are many ways we sabotage the development of our EQ. Negative self-talk yields to adverse emotions.

Magnifying minor issues or minimizing major issues are signs of impaired EQ as are defensiveness and denial.

The alternative to this is an attitude open to repair and redemption.

Practicing self-control, expressing gratitude, finding hope, seeking “bright lines” of morality, setting worthy goals, and giving of self willingly are part of living the “psychological good life” and are the foundation for personal transformation.

We’re Ready for the New Year

By VERNE MOBLEY Chamber President

Happy New Year friends!

We are ripping into 2016 with lots of enthusiasm and dedication to what we do, and that is to help our businesses and community move forward positively.

We help the high school with funding and planning for the bus trip to Salem for our NVHS seniors. This will happen Feb. 23. Dorothy Gann is chairing all this for the Chamber. She has lined up our State Representative David Gomberg and Senator Arnie Roblan to inform us what goes on at the capitol when they are in session. Our “Grand Marshall” Rob Royster has agreed to make sandwiches for us at noon at the capitol. Thank you Rob and our Sportsman’s Pub-n-Grub!!

Some of our projects are well into the planning stage. Merrianne Hoffman is again chairing the Birdingand Blues Festival coming up. She has some really “great stuff” lined up for us already. This could just be the best “B&B Party” ever!

The Dory Days celebration is in the good hand of Chair Melita Spath. She “took the bull by the horns” last year and really helped make this a great party!

She is doing the necessary groundwork and is lining up great volunteers to make it go.

There will be a meeting on Feb. 23 at the Kiawanda Community Center to discuss the possibility of incorporating Pacific City. Doug Olson has helped line up a very interesting program, with folks from our North County cities – Manzanita, Bay City, etc. which are now incorporated, talking about the pros and cons of incorporation. More on this later, and in the papers, and, of course, in your mailbox.

See any Chamber member about joining us or call me at 971-257-0200.

Wheeler Mayor Stevie Stephens Burden to challenge Yamamoto, Purcell for county commissioner position Tillamook County native and current Wheeler Mayor Stevie Stephens Burden has thrown her hat into the race to fill the shoes of longtime Commissioner Mark Labhart beginning in January 2017.

Currently serving her fifth term as the mayor of Wheeler, Burden’s experience includes more than 30 years of leadership in facilitating community mobilization, policy development, conflict resolution, strategic planning, prevention and treatment, community and state corrections, public health, mental health, and fiscal management. She is a nationally-recognized, award-winning substance abuse prevention and treatment specialist with a focus on Native American populations.

“I was born and raised in Tillamook County by hard-working people to have a strong sense of public service, and I have dedicated my career and volunteer time to what I believe is essential, especially in rural areas, and that is, giving back to my community and recognizing that everyone deserves to be represented and have a voice,” said Burden. “I have been working with our local County Commissioners and other cities, as well as our state elected officials and congressional delegation for many years. I have built the relationships and have the understanding of what this position entails and what it takes to get the job done.

“I think we have important issues to address, but we also have a lot of big opportunities that will need stewardship, like expanding our economic development base and supporting our current businesses, and mindful use of our natural resources. The county needs someone who understands policy development and decision making, budgeting, administration and management, and

has the ability to move projects forward in an impactful way. As the mayor (of Wheeler), I have had the opportunity to work on a variety of important issues such as the development and implementation of our regional water distribution system, revising our city charter and comprehensive plan for land use, and developing our city’s vision. Working through difficult conversations or complex problems to find a solution that the community supports is something that I have been able to do well and my record shows that.”

Burden added that during her five terms as mayor and throughout her professional career, she has understood objective listening and how to make decisions that are based on the greater good and consensus building.

“What it really comes down to for me is that I love Tillamook County and want to see us prosper. It is all about making sure everyone’s voice is heard throughout our strong, unique communities and helping to continue the movement of our county in a positive direction,” she said.

Burden resides in Wheeler with her husband of 30 years, Alan Burden, on the property her parents bought when she was seven. They have two grown children and five grandchildren, that she considers to be her best “work.”

“Like those that came before me, what I really want is to do my part to help ensure that Tillamook County can provide a happy, healthy, prosperous environment for my children, grandchildren and for the generations of our children to come.”

DINING GUIDE

Nestucca outlasts Neah-Kah-Nie, 47-45

By SHIANA WEAVER for the Sun

I

n a close match against Neah-KahNie, the Nestucca Bobcats walked away with the win in a Jan. 19 game head coach Jim Kiser says “was a wild one.”

According to Kiser, the boys didn’t play well in the first half — they turned the ball over plenty, had some defensive lapses, and we’re just pretty lethargic.

But it was a different story after the break as the Bobcats entered the second half with a lot more energy and played much better. Still, it was a battle to the very end.

Raymond Jackson-Cruz got hot shooting the ball in the third quarter to really get the team back in the game.

“At one point I think he made eight consecutive points for us,” Kiser said.

Nestucca had a six-point lead late in the game, but Neah-Kah-Nie battled back, tying the game with just 12 seconds left with a three-pointer. The Bobcats had a chance to win the game on a couple of free throws, but they wouldn’t go down, and Neak-Kah-Nie corralled the rebound. But as the Pirates brought

the ball up court, Brett Elder intercepted a pass, raced down court and laid in the winning shot with just two seconds on the clock to give the Bobcats the win.

“We were pretty lucky to come away with a victory, but Raymond JacksonCruz and John Nix really stepped up big time for us last night,” Kiser said.

The close win against the Pirates came after a tight contest with the Knappa Loggers on Jan. 16, where after a shaky first-quarter, the Bobcats still managed to finish on top, 47-43.

“Knappa is never an easy place to play, but we did a good job of ignoring the negatives that occurred and just playing out the game,” Kiser said. “We rebounded well and that kept them from getting a lot of easy scoring opportunities.”

Prior to the Knappa and Neah-KahNie games, the Bobcats suffered a devastating loss to Vernonia on Jan. 14. One of the better teams in the state, Vernonia won that contest, 47-19.

“It was a struggle offensively all night for us as we didn’t shoot it well at all, but defensively I thought we played really well,” Kiser said. “I don’t think anyone else has held them under 50 yet

this year.”

The ‘Cats had come out and played a good first quarter, being smart and taking care of the ball and led 3-2. But Vernonia really jumped on the Bobcats in the second, and Nestucca just didn’t respond.

In prior action, the Bobcats beat Delphian, 60-28, on Jan. 12, but lost to Life Christian, 58-62, on Jan. 8.

According to Kiser, Delphian is struggling right now and the Bobcats jumped on them early, leading 22-4 after the first quarter and never really looking back.

It was another story against Life Christian, a game in which the boys struggled through a poor start that saw them down 19-12 after the first quarter.

“We didn’t play very well defensively in that quarter,” Kiser said. “After that, we came out and played really good basketball. We were up by two late in the game but just couldn’t get the stop that we needed to win it. They have a couple of really good players that made clutch plays for them.”

The Bobcats’ next action will be Friday, Jan. 22 when they travel to Faith Bible.

Lady Bobcats fight hard but fall to Pirates

By SHIANA WEAVER for the Sun

T

he Lady Bobcats fought hard Jan. 19 against Neah-Kah-Nie but nonetheless fell to the Pirates, losing 32-24 and dropping to 1-6 in league play.

In the game against the Pirates, Nestucca battled back after being behind most of the game and were only down one point in the final minutes.

Unfortunately, Jakayla Jackson fouled out, and a couple other calls went NeahKah-Nie’s way, stalling their comeback.

“Our effort and intensity was good,” Foster said. “It was nice to have Jillian (Wilkinson) be more aggressive on offense. Tea Chatelain also did a great job defensively. She had the toughest assignment all night and was able to keep their best player in check for most of the game.”

In prior action, the girls lost to Knappa, 33-19. Head coach Tim Foster described the result of the Jan. 16 game as a self-inflicted loss. They also fell to Vernonia, a top-five team, on Jan. 14, 50-33.

Not scoring in the second quarter

put the girls in quite a hole, but the crowd watched as the girls charged back in the second half. Jackson led the team with 17 points.

“As a team we were more aggressive, shooting 11 free throws in the fourth quarter alone,” Foster said. “This game — specifically the second half — was a good example of what we can do when we play up to our potential.”

The loss to Vernonia came after a pair of wins with the Lady Bobcats getting the better of Toledo on Jan. 12, 37-33,f and besting Life Christian on Jan. 8, 43-36.

The game against Toledo was a stretch; the girls did not play very well in the first half.

“We turned the ball over too much and let their pressure get to us. But, we played aggressive defensively and made things difficult for them as well,” says Foster.

In the second half, the Lady Bobcats got a few fast break baskets and settled down enough to take a 25-23 lead into the fourth quarter. Toledo came back and took a four point lead in the middle of the quarter, but Chatelain

and Wilkinson put the team back on top with timely offensive rebounds and made free throws. Wilkinson also hit a big three-point shot.

“Tea, although she is one of the smallest girls on the team, not only led us in scoring with a season high 13 points, she also led us in rebounding and was the toughest player on the court much of the night,” Foster said.

“She did a great job.”

The win moved the Lady Bobcats to 4-8 for the season, matching their win total from all of last season.

The January win at Life Christian was a really fun and exciting game to be a part of, according to Foster.

The Lady Bobcats went into the fourth quarter tied, but then it was Jaykayla Jackson time. The sophomore scored 15 of her 22 in the final eight minutes.

“It was a great individual performance, but it was also a great team performance as we went 13-17 from the free throw line and had 19 steals as a team,” Foster said.

The girls will play next Friday, Jan. 22 at Faith Bible.
