Commissioners support purchase of land for Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Reguge Tillamook County Commissioners voiced their unanimous support for a potential 3.5-acre land aquisition for the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge via a letter of support during its Feb. 1 meeting as requested by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, which manages the Refuge.

USFWS had previously been contacted by a private citizen in Pacific City with an interest in selling the acreage with the idea it would be added to the Refuge.

Currently, the property is undeveloped and has limited legal access for development. In their communication with commissioners, USFWS stated that they “believe that protecting this land through conservation ownership is consistent with the Tillamook County Comprehensive Plan.”

The property, which borders the Refuge, features second-growth native Sitka spruce and stream riparian forested habitats, and, according to USFW, is not

suitable or zoned for agriculture use.

Further, UWFWS says that acquistion of the property will help meet the goals in the refuge’s Comprehensive Conservation Plan, which was published in 2013, by protecting forested wetlands, freshwater emerging wetlands, and upland forest habitat from development, as well as preventing increased distrubance to Canada geese, increased sedimentation, and impacts to water quality associated with residential development.

In their letter of support, commissioners agreed with USFWS that the land is consistent with the Tillamook County Comprehensive Plan and stated that they have no objection to including the property within the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge.

“I think it would be a great addition to the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge,” said Tillamook County Commissioner David Yamamoto.

EDC funds growth of two restaurants in Tillamook County

Public asked to help shape spring sport halibut season

The EDC announced on Jan. 26 that it has assisted in the viability and growth of two highprofile restaurants in Tillamook County, facilitated through its Revolving Loan Fund. The first was a change in ownership of La Tea Da to B&G Enterprises, LLC, which is run by Glenda Tonski and her daughter, Belinda Williams. Williams was a candidate for county commissioner last spring.

“La Tea Da has served a special niche in the county for many years as a special destination restaurant for locals and tourists alike who are looking for something more than just a conventional dining experience,” said Mike Cohen, director of EDC. “If it wasn’t for this dynamic duo, the restaurant would have closed its doors forever.”

La Tea Da is located at 904 Main St. in Tillamook.

The other restaurant is Sassy Express, LLC, which is owned and operated by Pacharin (Toy) Joy. Joy has been a restauranteur for many years and is well-known for her popular Thai dishes. The restaurant has been in operation since October but was in need of capital equipment to function efficiently.

“Toy is an extremely hard worker and dedicated to expanding the breadth of food choices in the county,” said Cohen.

Sassy Express is located at 2207 Main Ave. N, Suite K in Tillamook.

The EDC Revolving Loan Fund has lent $222,500 to county businesses in just the last year.

For more information, contact the EDC offices at (503) 842-8222, ext. 1420.

Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is asking for public input on the upcoming spring halibut season for the central Oregon Coast at a meeting on Monday, Feb. 6, 6-7:30 p.m., at the ODFW Marine Resources Program conference room, 2040 SE Marine Science Dr., Newport.

Meeting participants will provide input on the number and timing of “fixed” and “backup” dates for the Central Oregon Coast Subarea (Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain) spring all-depth halibut season.

People who cannot attend the meeting in person can still participate by either joining the meeting via “GoToMeeting” at https://global.gotomeeting. com/join/674377613, or by completing an online survey that will be posted on the ODFW halibut webpage at www.dfw.state.or.us/MRP/finfish/halibut/index.asp.

Anglers may also give input by contacting the ODFW Marine Resources Program at 541-867-4741 or Lynn Mattes at lynn.mattes@stateor.us.

NEWS&COMMUNITY Commissioners officially create Pacific CityNeskowin Sheriff’s Enhanced Patrol District

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

T

illamook County Commissioners voted 3-0 on Feb. 1 to create a Sheriff’s Enhanced Patrol District within the boundaries of the Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority and the Neskowin Regional Water District. The new district now awaits a decision by voters this May when those in the district will decide whether to fund the proposal, which calls for a permanent tax rate of $0.58 per $1,000 of assessed value and will fund two full-time deputies.

The decision followed public testimony at the same meeting, the second of two public hearings. As it turns out, the only public comment came from Neskowin resident Jean Cameron, who said she questioned the equitablity of the funding. She pointed out that in 2015 Neskowin had only 279 calls to Pacific City’s 1,360, yet because based on 2016-17 assessed values, Neskowin would be contributing $184,290 and Pacific City $225,839, and that would mean the cost per call for Neskowin would be $660 and for Pacific City $166.

“The cost for Neskowin residents vis-a-vis Pacific City is not equitable,” she said. “We are looking at generating 17 percent of the calls between the two areas while we will also be generating 45 percent of the revenue to support the districts.

“In theory this is not taxation without representation because we get to vote on this in May, but I am concerned that it’s likely that the taxpayers of Neskowin will be outvoted by those in Pacific City so that we will have to pay the tax even if the majority of the Neskowin voters vote against it.”

She also urged commissioners to continue the fight to make Transient Lodging Tax available to fund emergency services. Currently, only 30 percent of the TLT proceeds are discretionary funds and that portion has already been devoted to fix the county’s ailing roads.

“This is a band aid approach to providing public safety,” she said. “I think the only way to provide adequate service countywide is to change from a dependence on timber revenue to more realistic revenue from the Transient Lodging Tax. I know that we’ve been told that’s not going to happen, but I think you as county commissioners need to make your voices heard loud and clear. We don’t need to promote tourism so much here. The coast speaks for itself. But we do need to provide public safety (and) emergency services such as fire districts. Those are the things that are going to help the tourists while they’re here after all.”

Responding to her concerns, Commissioner David Yamamoto said that while he understood her points, he felt that because South County does not have incorporated cities — and their accompanying police departments — as areas in the north part of the county do, something needs to be done to fill the gap.

“When you get south of Tillamook, it’s all unincorporated areas,” he said, “As such there is not city government and that means there are no police departments. I do understand your concerns, but I don’t think this is a

Page 4 • Pacific City SUN • February 3, 2017

Pacific City and Neskowin issue. I feel that is is a South County issue when it comes to public safety.”

In underscoring the need for more police presence, he pointed to the challenges of the fire department — and their need for officers on the scene.

“One of the things that I recall our fire chief saying is there are instances where the fire department shows up at a call and because of circumstances they cannot enter the building or the vehicle or whatever their call happens to be until they get a sheriff’s deputy on site,” he added. “They’re waiting 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes (for a deputy to arrive). To me that’s unconscionable.

That’s not what public safety is all about. So there are issues outside of just Neskowin and Pacific City.”

He also said that commissioners haven’t given up on lobbying for a change in how TLT money can be used.

Currently 70 percent must be used for tourism promotion or tourism-related infrastructure.

“We feel that we have the backing of almost all the coastal caucus at this point (to change the 70-30 spending split of the TLT) — and the coastal caucus is remarkably strong for the size of the coastal caucus, but when you’ve got the Portland Metro area and Salem and Corvallis and Eugene, it’s very, very difficult to move something like this out of committee,” he said. “I think we have been a strong supporter of exactly what you’re asking for, but right now we don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel for that.”

Another concern that Cameron raised was that officers in the new district could be pulled from the area to answer emergency calls. But Tillamook County Sheriff Andy Long defended that policy.

“This is (dictated) by (Oregon law).

I don’t keep track of nickels and dimes when it comes to these contracts,” he said. “(For example), when it comes to the Sand Lake deputy, many times they respond in Pacific City and the (Cape) Kiwanda area and that’s not paid by for anybody in the general fund. That’s a contract with the U.S. Forest Service.

Often you see Tillamook city cars down in Hebo backing us up. So that’s how we operate. We’re so far apart that we have to help each other out.”

Long also explained that while it’s true that Neskowin has had fewer calls recently, that’s something that will likely change if and when there’s a better police presence there.

“Neskowin hasn’t had the attention that Pacific City has had recently — and there’s reason for that,” he said.

“I have two marine deputies that work countywide, (and) Pacific City has two very busy boat ramps. The fact that those two deputies go through that town and do their marine work generates calls.”

Both Commissioner Tim Josi and Commissioner Bill Baertlein also voiced their support before voting for the board order establishing the district.

“Sometimes it can be difficult for commissioners to be a city manager, (but) that is what we’re trying to do,” Baertlein said. “I think this is a good solution to (the lack of police presence in Pacific City and Neskowin). I’m going to be fully supportive of this as we move forward.”

Citizens share their input on developing TLT-funded tourism infrastucture

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

C

oncerned South Tillamook County citizens voiced their hopes, dreams and concerns for the future of the area during a Feb. 2 meeting hosted by the Tillamook Futures Council as part of Tillamook County Commissioners plan to develop a Transient Lodging Tax funded master plan for Tillamook County.

The Feb. 2 meeting at Kiawanda Community Center in Pacific City was the final out of four meetings in each area of the county scheduled for this winter. Additional meetings were held in Nehalem, Rockaway Beach and Tillamook. This round of meetings were the second of three planned meetings as the Futures Council works towards presenting the information to county commissioners. The final round will be scheduled in April.

Funding for any projects planned from the eventual master plan will come from the tourist-related facilities portion of the TLT tax, which dictates 70 percent be spent on tourism marketing or tourism promotion.

Fifty-five percent of the 70 percent, which amounted to $1.3 million this past year, is being allocated to touristrelated infrastructure.

Facilitated by Erin Skaar, attendees first took aim at the chief concerns that came out of the first round of

meetings held last November. Those included making sure long-term operations and maintenance for the new facilities are considered; the identification of infrastructure needs for planned facilities; gaining an understanding of what TLT funds can be used for; balancing the needs of both incorporated cities and unincorporated communities, as well as rural areas; and protecting natural resources from the impact of tourism.

In the Feb. 2 discussion, one voiced concern was balancing the needs of residents and tourists. “There’s a big (concern) I hear all the time,� said Sean Carlton, co-owner of Twist Wine Co. “If I had to sum it up in one word it would be livability.�

Carlton, who also chairs the Pacific City-Woods Citizen Advisory Committee, added many of the community’s surveys and plans have one key thing that keeps coming up — and that is slow, managed growth. “So how do we manage growth with tourism dollars?� he asked. “To me, that’s going to be a slippery slope.�

There was also some discussion around the fact that the funds raised through the TLT for tourism-related infrastructure can be carried forward and used as seed money. “The TLT is not the end all and be all for everthing you want to build, but it can be a piece of that,� Skarr said.

Developer and realtor Mary Jones,

who co-owns Pelican Brewery, the Inn at Cape Kiwanda and other hospitality businesses in Pacific City, said she’d like to see a better focus on fairness as to where the money is spent. She asked that if Pacific City is the one raising the bulk of the money, shouldn’t it get the bulk of the proceeds?

Others honed in on the importance of keeping the plan focused on the greater South Tillamook County area and not just on Cape Kiwanda where the biggest crowds are. “I think you need to look at a more regional vision,� said Nestucca Fire Chief Kris Weiland. “Let’s take (the larger) school or fire district (boundaries) and say we have this much real estate we need to look at and then look to North, Central and South County because all these things come together. We need to look at it from the 10,000 foot level and see what we can do.�

The meeting then broke into small groups that each looked at different suggested facility improvements.

The Futures Council plans to take the information and present it to interested citizens when they hold the next round of meetings in April. An exact time and date have yet to be decided.

In the meantime, though, those that wish to make their feelings known can contact Visit Tillamook Coast tourism director Nan Devlin at nan@tillamookcoast.com.

ODFW seeks candidates to fill vacant PFMC seat The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is accepting nominations for a seat on the Pacific Fishery Management Council.

The deadline to request nomination materials is Feb. 13 and the three-year term begins August 2017.

The Council manages about 119 species of groundfish, pelagic species (sardines, anchovies and mackerel) and highly migratory species (tunas, sharks and swordfish) off the coasts for Oregon, Washington and California. It includes 14 voting members representing tribal and state fish and wildlife agencies, and private citizens knowledgeable about sport fishing, commercial fishing and/or marine conservation. Several advisory councils and PFMC staff members also participate in Council meetings.

The ideal candidate would be knowledgeable of fishery resource conservation and management in marine waters off the West Coast. Specific knowledge of and experience in management issues and fisheries is important, as is a strong conservation ethic.

ODFW will send all nominations to the Governor’s office, which will then forward the names of at least three candidates to the National Marine Fisheries Service and U.S. Department of Commerce for consideration. Successful appointees must pass an extensive FBI background check.

Anyone interested in being considered, or wishing to nominate someone, must contact Cyreis Schmitt at 541-867-4741 or cyreis.c.schmitt@state.or.us no later than Feb. 13.

The Pacific Council is responsible for fisheries off the coasts of California, Oregon and Washington.

he Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District Board of Directors took initial steps towards the hiring of a new fire chief during a Jan. 30 workshop held at the district’s headquarters in Hebo.

Though because it was a workshop, no official decisions were made, there appeared to be general consensus as to the direction.

Discussion revolved around two determinations: one, whether to list the posting internally or whether to list it outside the district; and two, whether to use an outside service to do the search or whether to conduct the search with district staff and board members.

There was considerable support for a search that would not only look at internal candidates but also those outside the district. That said, two board members — Ken Crowe and Verne Mobley — said training officer Jim Oeder has their support now as the district’s next chief.

“It is my thought that I’d like to see Jim Oeder be the fire chief,” said Mobley.

“I’m with you 100 percent,” echoed Crowe, who participated in the meeting via phone.

However, other board members including John Emerson suggested a thorough search first, a move that was encouraged by Tillamook County Commissioners Tim Josi and David Yamamoto, at a previous workshop.

“If we willy nilly ignore (the advice of commissioners), what kind of problems are we going to create?” Emerson asked.

“There’s going to be some internal problems if he’s just given it slam dunk,” added board member Judy Pratt.

As for conducting the search, Emerson voiced his support for doing it in house, meaning the work will fall on current Fire Chief Kris Weiland and the board.

There was also significant discussion surrounding the pay range for the hiring.

Crowe spectulated that the district might not find a qualified candidate outside of the district that would be willing to come here for what the district can afford. Weiland is currently earning $66,000 (plus benefits) a year, but he has taken increased vacation time in lieu of monetary raises during his eight-year tenure. That figure is on the low side when compared with similar districts. Emerson said that when looking at Netarts, Depoe Bay and North Lincoln fire districts, the average is $80,000 with a range of $71,000 to $90,000.

While Weiland said the district might be able to afford slightly more, paying the chief more would likely have a domino effect as other personnel would expect a raise as well.

“If you go much outside the dynamic we’ve already put out there, I don’t know where you’re going to pull the money from,” he said. “You’ll have to cut something out of operations and personnel.

I think you have to keep (the offered salary) attractive, but you also have to realize that if we have to move money around we’re going to lose one position.”

With that in mind, Emerson suggested advertising a salary range of $63,000$68,000. The board is expected to make a final determination on this, as well as the other parts of the hiring plan at its next meeting, which will be on Tuesday, Feb. 7, 7 p.m., at the Hebo fire hall and administration center.

It’s Movie Night at South Tillamook Co. Library

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

T

he magic of film is coming to South Tillamook County Library.

Starting in February, Pacific City’s library, located at 6200 Camp St., will host monthly movie nights — one for teens and the other for adults.

The entertainment will start Feb. 7 when the library opens its “Teen Movie Night,” intended for 12-18 year olds, with a showing of “Maximum Ride,” a story that Movie Licensing USA describes as six teenagers enabled with the power of flight through experimentation leading a chase against similarly modifed human/ wolf hybrids after they break out of the laboratory that once housed them. The film is an adaptation of a young adult series of novels by James Patterson.

Subsequent monthly showings, all of which start at 5 p.m. on Tuesdays, will feature “The Queen of Katwe” on March 21 and “The BFG” on April 4.

Dubbed “Coffee, Cookies and a Movie,” the monthly adult film series will start Saturday, Feb. 11 when the library shows “The Ghost and Mrs. Muir,” a 1947 classic that tells the story of a young wife, who, in 1900, discovers that her cottage along the sea is haunted — and then she proceeds to form a relationship with the ghost. Saturday adult movies, as the series name indicates, will also

feature complimentary coffee and cookies. Other monthly showings will include “The Dark Horse” documentary on March 18 and the foreign film “Coming Home” on April 15. All showtimes will be at noon.

The decision to introduce movie nights comes following a library survey in which respondents said they wanted to see more programs at the library.

“One of the things that people requested when the library did a survey a couple of years ago was that (library patrons) wanted to see more programs at the branches,” said South Tillamook County librarian Theresa Roberts. “(Because of that), the library has set aside more money for the branches to have programs so we decided to try some of these different things besides authors and music. We thought we would make the most of it and not just have movies for children but for teens and adults, too.”

“It’s kind of a nice change in entertainment,” added Courtney Remington, assistant librarian for the South Tillamook County Library. “We hope to get more people in.”

For more information on the two movie series, as well as other programs at the South Tillamook County Library, call 503-965-6163, stop by the branch at 6200 Camp St., Pacific City, or visit tillamook.org.

Scholarships offered to local students The Tillamook County Soil and Water Conservation District is offering two $1,000 scholarships for the 2017-18 school year.

Scholarships will be awarded to a graduating high school senior or a resident of Tillamook County to be enrolled at any university, college, junior college or trade school and working toward an associate, bachelor, graduate degree or trade certification.

The economy for Tillamook County comprises mainly of agriculture, forest products, fishing, and recreation. For this reason, TCSWCD is committed to supporting local students who care about our natural resources and wish to promote conservation, impacting future natural resource decisions.

“Our goal is to assist college students majoring in the field of agriculture, natural resource science, or a related discipline,” said Ray Monroe, staff member of TCSWCD. “We encourage students to apply for these scholarships.”

Applicants can compete for the scholarship by filling out and signing a form available at the TCSWCD office at 4000 Blimp Blvd. Suite 200 Tillamook, OR, 503-842-2848, ext.

110. It is normally downloadable at www.tillamookcountyswcd.org, but as of press time, the district website was offline. Because of this, applicants are invited to stop by or call for an applicaton.

Applications must be received by May 1 at 4 p.m.

Applicants sought for TLT promotions grants The Economic Development Council of Tillamook County and Visit Tillamook Coast, the county’s tourism organization, recently announced the availability of $50,000 in tourism marketing and promotions grant funding for the 2016-2017 fiscal year. This is the second $50,000 grant fund made available this fiscal year.

Application forms are available at www.tillamookcoast.com/grants in Word or pdf format. The deadline for submission is March 31.

Non-profit, not-for-profit and for-profits involved in tourism activities are eligible for the grants.

Up to $10,000 can be awarded for a tourism marketing and promotion project or event. Applicants focusing on shoulder season activities (October through May) are given priority in scoring of their grant.

Non-profits and not-for-profits are awarded 50 percent after approv-

al of the project, and receive the remaining 50 percent after satisfactory completion of the project and fulfilling grant requirements. For-profits must first get approval of the project, then are eligible for 50 percent reimbursement after satisfactory completion of the project and fulfilling grant requirements.

In the last two years, Visit Tillamook Coast has awarded $150,000 in marketing and promotions grants; 17 organizations received $100,000 in funding in 2015-2016 fiscal year, and so far this current fiscal year, nine organizations have been awarded a total of $50,000. Projects range from digital marketing campaigns, rack cards, websites and videos to walking maps, event marketing, media campaigns and print advertising.

How NVES’s Garden Grows Oregon Sen. Arnie Roblan visits Nestucca Elementary’s garden program

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

O

regon Sen. Arnie Roblan (D-Coos Bay) and Tillamook County Commissioner David Yamamoto recently got an up close look at the valuable nutritional and gardening lessons students at Nestucca Valley Elementary School are learning via the Nestucca Garden Program that is supported by Food Roots and Food Corps, groups that have provided grants and organizational leadership.

The Jan. 13 tour and presentation the politicans were welcomed to may have been short on the thriving produce that makes this program such a valuable learning tool as we’re in the middle of winter, but they did get a chance, together with first-grade students, to sample some kale from the garden.

The Nestucca Garden Program had its impetus about five years ago. A key component to its success has been a plan voluntarily crafted by Katie Breh Shluka of Coyote Gardens, who designed a master plan partially based on a student survey.

Other key components include a farm-to-school piece that features Wednesday garden lessons on growing plants from seed to harvest and nutrition information on the produce grown in the garden, as well as teaching about the local food system. Another portion of the program is a school-to-market component in which children learn garden skills and gain an knowledge of local agriculture and the food system.

They also get the opportunity to manage a microenterprise. The program has operated at an annual budget under $10,000. A goal is to get enough funding to pay for a community wellness coordinator.

“It really is a community effort because the high school students are linked to it also,” said NVES principal Misty Wharton, who has recently also started serving as interim superintendent of the district. “They go and sell the food at the (local) Saturday market.

They know way more about nutrition than I ever did.”

This month through the end of the school year, fifth graders will begin working with this program, which continues throughout the summer when produce will be sold at the Pacific city Farmers Market. As well, last year

marked the beginning of the Harvest Club, a pilot program where 300 pounds of fresh produce from the garden was delivered to all three South County food pantries.

Goals for this spring and summer include refining the interior of the garden shed, planning and completing bed projects, establishing gathering areas and growing perennial pollinator borders.

“This is a great program you’ve put together,” Yamamoto said. “It’s well

thought out with everything from planting to growing to harvesting to market.”

For his part, Roblan said efforts like this can reap valuable dividends.

“I think that anytime you get a community that will invest in something they can do at a local level to help kids understand their environment better, the chances of having different kinds of learning expand is always greater,” he said. “It’s impressive to see the commitment of the staff and parents and community to make this thing work.”

“YOUR ART’S DESIRE: A CELEBRATION OF CHOCOLATE, WINE AND ART” returns to the Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City on Saturday, Feb. 11 from 6:30-9:30 p.m. Advance tickets are $30 and tickets at the door are $35, which includes complimentary drink tickets, appetizers and desserts. For more information, call 503-550-9655.

for a night of winter entertainment.

A benefit for the Community Arts Project, which brings its Art Literacy program to area elementary schools once a month, the event actually features two components.

The first is an afternoon sale with free admission from noon-4 p.m. and the second is the evening gala event with all the trimmings. The “Chocolate Wine & Art” celebration, for which tickets must be purchased, runs from 6:30-9:30 p.m. and features complimentary wine, beer, sparkling cider, appetizers, and desserts. Also a part of the evening will be an art sale, silent auction, student art, raffle and live music featuring the jazz band Past Forward.

CAP executive director Nicola Harrison says the event is an attractive night out for both the community and for artists for a number of reasons.

“The event provides us an opportunity to get out during the winter months,” she said about the Valentine-themed event. “It also offers an opportunity for artists to be recognized by the community and to share their talents and suc-

cesses.”

As the main fundraiser for CAP, which has served the community since 1988, Harrison says she’s “super excited” to bring back the event — both for the community and for the organization.

“I believe that (bringing it back) shows that we’re dedicated to the people in our community,” she added. “We’re offering them an opportunity they wouldn’t have otherwise with culture, diversity, and, of course, the byproduct — art.”

The art portion of the gala will feature artists’ work around the theme of “Passion,” which is being done on 6- by 6-inch panels — each selling for $75. All proceeds from the panels will support CAP’s Art Literacy program. Artists will also sell studio art with 50 to 100 percent donated to CAP. For a little added flair, Past Forward, a jazz band hailing out of Newport, will set the tone for a little dancing. The group also performed at the 2013 event.

“They’re incredible,” Harrison said about the band. “They definitely set the tone for the evening and have a good positive energy.”

Currently, Art Literacy programs are held at Nestucca Valley Elementary School in Cloverdale and Garibaldi Grade School. Each month an age-appropriate 90-minute art education session is conducted in each classroom focusing on a famous artist or art movement. The lesson includes art history, technique, and aesthetic analysis, as well as an opportunity for each student to create their own artwork in the style of the artist or art movement presented. More than 450 students are taught every month. The program is privately funded and sponsored by Community Arts Project, which also presents the children’s summer art program “Slug Soup.” Funding relies on special events, grants, and the generous donations of local individuals and businesses.

The public is invited and welcome to join in this celebration. Tickets to the evening event are $30 in advance, $35 at the door. Tickets may be purchased at Kiawanda Community Center or secure online purchase at communityartsproject.net.

For information or to purchase tickets, call 503-550-9655.

An Expanding Role NVES principal Misty Wharton appointed to serve as interim superintendent for remainder of school year

I

n the wake of the Jan. 26 resignation by former Nestucca Valley School District superintendent David Phelps, Nestucca Valley Elementary School Principal Misty Wharton has been appointed to serve out the remainder of the school year as the district’s interim superintendent.

Citing personal reasons, Phelps, who also served as juniorsenior high school principal, said he is resigning with a heavy heart and that he has enjoyed serving the students and staff of the district.

He thanked the board for their support during this time and asked the families and staff to support the school board during the transition.

In spite of the added responsibilties, Wharton will continue to serve as elementary school principal. The board also appointed instructor Ken Richwine to serve as full-time junior-senior high school principal. A long-term sub will be selected to fill his half-time teaching position for the remainder of the school year.

“David (Phelps) is an educator that had decades of experience, and I learned some great things from him as you do with every educator you work with,” Wharton said. “Everybody has some things that they are excellent at.”

Wharton has been a longtime fixture in the school district and graduated from the high school in 1996. After earning her bachelor degree, she returned to the district to serve a year as an Americorp volunteer. She then earned a master in arts in teaching followed by a one-year stint teaching alternative education at Wilson River School.

From there she returned to Nestucca, teaching at the high school for nine years before accepting her post as NVES principal four and a half years ago. Last December, after three years of additional coursework at George Fox University, she was awarded a Professional Administrator License.

As she looks towards the challenges ahead, she says she hopes her longtime ties and knowledge of

MISTY WHARTON, Nestucca Valley Elementary School principal, will serve as interim Nestucca Valley School District superintendent for the remainder of the school year following the Jan. 26 resignation of superintendent David Phelps. the community will reap dividends.

“I think one of my greatest advantages is having the familiarity of this community,” she told the Sun. “Having strong community ties, I know the community already (and) that makes me well suited to identify what our students and families need. That’s one of the hardest parts (for a new superintendent) — learning each individual community.”

On Wharton’s immediate agenda will be to begin planning the 2017-18 school year, to help guide plans for a seismic retrofit for the elementary school, and planning for spring sports and the spring musical. She added that she will also shepherd the district’s

three overarching goals: communicating clearly, collaborating with the community and maintaining consistency and accountability for all students and staff.

“I feel fortunate that I know this community, and I have a great support system in this school district,” she said, “Everyone is digging in and doing some heavy lifting right now.”

As for the future, Wharton said she is keeping an open mind as to whether to pursue the job on a permanent basis.

“I’m interested as an educator in always trying to provide the best opportunity for kids,” she said. “If I’m able to pull this dual roll off, I will be interested in continuing.”

STUDENT MUSICIANS from Nestucca Jr.-Sr. High showcased their talents when they participated in the annual District III Honor Band event, which was held Jan. 20-21 at St. Helens High School. A record number of Nestucca parents and family members attended this year’s performance, driving two and a half hours to the event.

During the event, students rehearsed a day and a half, culminating in an afternoon concert on Saturday, Jan. 21. Sixteen high schools in the District III Music Division (Northwest corner of Oregon), 1A through 5A in size, sent their best instrumental musicians to this event. In spite of some selected honor performers being unable to attend due to illness, the bands were still large in size — the middle school band was comprised of 99 students, and the high school band contained 115 members.

AT THE DISTRICT III HONOR BAND EVENT, the middle school honor band was lead by guest conductor Jason Garcia, and the high school band was conducted

by Mr. Stewart Welsh. Pictured above are Nestucca High School

CAST MEMBERS of TAPA’s upcoming performances of “A Sting in the Tale,” directed

by Chris Chiola, include (from l-r) Richard Coon, Anita O’Hagan, John Pickering, Val Braun, and Steve Lewis.

From Playwriting to Murder TAPA’s ‘A Sting in the Tale’ to debut Feb. 17

T

he Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts upcoming play “A Sting in the Tale,” directed by Chris Chiola, will debut on Friday, Feb. 17, starting at 7 p.m. with a gala celebraton.

Written by Brian Clemens and Dennis Spooner, and produced by Diane Cross, “A Sting in the Tale” follows two playwrights, Nigel Forbes and Max Goodman, who were once successful crime writers that are now struggling to write their next hit show. While trying to come up with new plot ideas, Forbes’ wife Ann barges into the room, complaining bitterly about their lack of inspiration and their drain on the bank account. Feeding off the animosity of Ann’s nagging, Forbes and Goodman start writing the perfect murder…of Ann! But when the writing of the new play and reality get confused, their secretary Jill gets accidently murdered. Star struck Detective Berry arrives and gets mixed up in the mess.

New to the stage is Steve Lewis, who is cast as playwright Nigel Forbes. His

onstage writing partner Max Goodman is played by John Pickering who is new to TAPA, but brings much theater experience. Anita O’Hagan plays Nigel’s wife, Ann Forbes. Anita was most recently in last summer’s TAPA hit “Vanya, Sonia, Masha & Spike!”. Playing Jill, the secretary, is TAPA’s Val Braun, while Richard Coon, another TAPA veteran, plays Detective Berry.

The comedic thriller runs through March 5 with Friday and Saturday evening showings beginning at 7 p.m. and matinees on Sunday, Feb. 30 and March 5 starting at 2 p.m.

Tickets are now available for $15 for adults, $10 for children under 12.

Reserved seating is available through Diamond Art Jewelers located at 307 Main Street in Tillamook, or by calling 503-842-7940 for reservations. For more information, email info@tillamooktheater.com or find TAPA on Facebook.

TAPA’s Barn Community Playhouse is located at 1204 Ivy St, on the corner of 12th and Ivy, adjacent to Les Schwab Tires.
