Chamber to host April 5 candidate forum

T

he Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce will host candidates for two Tillamook County Commissioners races as well as those competing for state representative, district 10, during a spring candidate’s forum on Tuesday, April 5. The forum will follow a brief meeting at noon during which the Chamber will conduct business matters.

Competing in the May 2016 election for Tillamook County Commissioner, position no. 1, are incumbent Bill Baertlein and challenger Belinda Williams, both of Tillamook. Candidates vying to replace Mark Labhart, who currently serves in position no. 2, when he retires at the beginning of 2017 are Pacific City real estate broker David Yamamoto, Bay City Mayor Shaena Peterson, Wheeler Mayor Stevie Burden, and Jennifer Purcell, also of Bay City.

In the race for Oregon’s House of Representatives, District 10, Pacific City resident Thomas Donohue is challenging incumbent David Gomberg.

Following an expected 15-minute business meeting, the chamber will allow each candidate to speak to his or her qualifications, followed by a question and answer period.

DAVID YAMAMOTO Currently a realtor for the Windermere West office in Pacific City, Yamamoto has been involved in a number of community and government groups since moving to Tillamook County nearly a decade ago.

Amongst his service has been as a board member on the Pacific City-Woods Community Planning Advisory Committee and the Citizens Advisory Committee. He has also served on the Oregon Territorial Sea Plan Advisory Committee and been an active member of the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber, which awarded him its “Volunteer of the Year” award in 2012. He is also currently a member of both the NW Commission on Transportation and the EDC Small Business Advisory Council.

Yamamoto also points to his 19 years of experience as a long-term care specialist, experience he says the county could leverage when dealing with the area’s aging population.

JENNIFER PURCELL The current vice-chair of the Tillamook County Futures Council and member of the North Coast Regional Solutions Team, Purcell is a past member of the Tillamook County Parks Advisory Committee, and a former Tillamook County employee. A former small business owner, Purcell is a long-time member of the Tillamook Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. She says she’s committed to economic development and ensuring opportunities to grow small businesses and foster the entrepreneurial spirit.

STEVIE STEPHENS BURDEN A Tillamook County native, Burden is currently serving her fifth term as the Mayor of Wheeler. Her more than 30 years of leadership experience includes facilitating community mobilization, policy development, conflict resolution, strategic planning, prevention and treatment, community and state corrections, public health, mental health, and fiscal management. She says her experience includes many years of working with local county commissioners and other cities, as well as state elected officials and congressional delegation. 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.”

SHAENA PETERSON Bay City Mayor Shaena Peterson says as county commissioner it would be her goal to make sure doing what’s best for our environment does not cripple the county’s backbone of logging, farming and fishing.

In her February 2016 release announcing her candidacy she said the county needs more housing. She also promised to “work toward a healthy, happy, well-educated community where you know your voice will be heard.”

COMMISSIONER BILL BAERTLEIN First elected as a Tillamook County Commissioner in 2012, Baertlein currently represents Tillamook County as a board member and past president of the Northwest Seniors and Disability Services, a board member of Northwest Oregon Housing Authority, as well as a member of the Columbia Pacific Coordinated Care Organization, Forest Trust Lands Advisory Committee, Forest Stakeholder Advisory Committee, Tillamook County Pioneer Museum, Community Action Team for Tillamook, Clatsop and Columbia Counties and Tillamook County Family YMCA. He also serves as liaison to more than 25 other Tillamook County departments and organizations.

Baertlein says he has focused his time on improving county roads and infrastructure to meet the needs of the community and tourists visiting our area. He is also chairing the task force that is making 2016 a year of wellness in Tillamook County.

Baertlein is also working on coordinating a housing needs assessment and a strategy for increasing housing in Tillamook County.

BELINDA WILLIAMS Belinda Williams is a local business owner, wife and mother of four. She touts her experience in managing budgets, collaborating with different peoples, managing projects and working to create value. “I actively participate in politics on a national, state and local level,” she said. “I am eager to learn and I love a challenge.

“I have this dream that my children and grandchildren will remain in Tillamook County with me because Tillamook County provides attractive options for them and their families. In order to make this dream a reality, not just for my family, but others as well, we need a vibrant economy with living wage jobs, affordable housing and sound infrastructure. ” THOMAS DONOHUE Donohue is a technical analyst for the Oregon Lottery, having worked there since 1980. He served in the Oregon’s Army National Guard from 1970-78. He is the current volunteer chair of the Tillamook County Republican Central Committee and a precinct committee person. He is also a director of the Pacific City Dorymen’s Association and chaired its Memorial Wall Committee, creating a 30-ton memorial monument at Cape Kiwanda in 2009. Donohue is also a director of the Nestucca Valley Community Alliance, with the goal of creating a community park, skate park, and interpretive center. He previously served as chairman of the Pacific City Planning Advisory Committee.

DAVID GOMBERG A kite maker and retailer by trade, Gomberg was elected in November 2012.

His governmental experience includes serving on the Oregon Coastal Caucus and the Legislative Small Business Task Force.

His 2015-16 legislative committee assignments include the Joint Committee on Ways and Means, the co-chair of the Ways and Means subcommittee on Transportation and Economic Development, the House Committee on Rural Communities, Land Use and Water, and the Governor’s Commission on Senior Services.

NEWS&COMMUNITY Committee questions treatment plant, PCJWSA responds

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

A

group of Pacific City residents operating under the self-appointed name of the Citizens Oversight Committee met on Thursday, March 24 to discuss the upcoming improvement to Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority’s wastewater treatment plant and to urge residents to support their effort to persuade PCJWSA to scale back the project.

Presenting their case at the meeting were Pacific City residents Walter and Robin Kostrikin, Daryle Jimerson, and Woods resident Mike Dill.

Amongst their assertions was that the planned upgrade is ignoring actual population figures as a basis for their upcoming improvement to the sewer treatment plant.

Walter said the population growth estimate was inflated and should have been 1.1 percent, not 2.5 percent. While he acknowledged that it is PCJWSA’s responsibility to accommodate future growth with its treatment plant, he said the inflated growth rate results in building a plant that’s being sized for an additional 543 lots that we really don’t need.

They also shared their desire for developers to pay the system development charges when a lot is platted rather than when it is built upon.

He asserted that paying for system development charges later means that the customers of PCJWSA are subsidizing development and that by having developers pay for system development charges up front it would help pay for the plant.

In a March 31 interview with the Sun, PCJWSA manager Tony Owen defended the project saying that the justification for the size of the plant is based not so much on population growth but on the flow through the plant.

“We’re basing our data not on population, but on actual organic loading into the sewer plant and trying to project, over time, what has gone on and what we anticipate is going to continue to go on.”

PUD Board awards Community Grants Kiawanda Community Center, South Tillamook Co. Library Club amongst recipients The Tillamook PUD Board of Directors awarded funding under its 2016 Community Support Grant Program to 11 non-profit organizations in Tillamook County — including two in South County.

Those receiving awards in South Tillamook county are Kiawanda Community Center, for a heat pump replacement; and South Tillamook County Library Club, for exterior lighting.

Others in the county also getting grants are the Latimer Quilt & Textile Center, for a heat pump replacement; the Hoffman Center for the Arts, for lighting and audio visual improvements; Helping Hands Re-entry Outreach Centers, for electrical improvements; Garibaldi Maritime Museum, for appliances; Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts (TAPA), for lighting equipment; Tillamook County Family YMCA, for flooring enhancements;

Pacific City The

Tillamook Shooters Association/Jr. Livestock Auction Committee, for electrical power; Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad, for signage and lighting; and Manzanita Farmers Market, for power hook-up.

Tillamook PUD developed the Community Grant Program to assist local non-profit organizations in funding projects designed to promote economic growth in Tillamook County. In evaluating and selecting projects for funding, the Board focused on the enhancement of economic development, community livability and financial need.

This is the 15th year the Board has budgeted funds for the community grant program and feedback has been positive. Recipients have reported that in many cases, the PUD grants were instrumental in securing funding from additional sources.

As for SDCs, Owen reiterated what he and PCJWSA Board chair Carolyn McVicker have said at previous meetings — that having developers pay SDCs ratherthan it being paid when it is built upon would mean less money for the Authority as the SDC charges have risen significantly over time and thus more money would be paid at the building date than would be paid when the land is platted.

Owen also said that downsizing the plant would not be a good alternative for the community in the long run.

“The assertion that we can only do half of it...and do another portion of it down the road is going to cost the community a lot more money,” he said. “That’s not me speaking. That comes from DEQ as well as USDA and a lot of other professionals and from my own experience.”

An additional point of contention was the way the development will be paid for. As he has commented at several PCJWSA meetings, Jimerson said that he would like to see the improvement paid for by actual volume of consumption rather than a flat capital improvement charge.

As it turns out, PCJWSA has scheduled an April 5 public meeting to address possible revisions to the fee system used to pay for the upgrade. Held at the Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City, the meeting will start at 5 p.m. with a workshop on future capital improvement charges for wastewater treatment plant improvements. PCJWSA’s regular business meeting will follow.

Owen said that after putting many hours into different scenarios, they have come up with a couple of different CIC plans that could be workable, one of which has a flat CIC charge but deals with commercial and residential properties differently. Because some fine points were still being worked out at press time, the complete details weren’t available, but Owen did say that his office tried to take a look at a model that is a hybrid between a consumption-based fee and one where they look at each customer type — residential, nonprofit, short-term rentals, and commercial accounts — differently.

MORE THAN 100 CHILDREN showed up at the Nestucca Valley Jr.-Sr. High School field Saturday, April 26 to meet the Easter Bunny and hunt for Easter eggs during an event sponsored by the Nestucca Valley Lions Club.

The Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District was also on hand to entertain those waiting for the hunt to begin with a mock burning house that they could douse with a real fire hose. The more than 1,000 “hidden” eggs filled with candy, quarters, and gift certificates were quickly snapped up by eager children. Organiser Teresa Smith said, “The kids really enjoyed it. They really liked seeing the Easter bunny and the fire truck.”

The Pitch for More Cops

The logistics behind an enhanced sheriff's patrol in South County

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

W

ith each summer bringing more and more people to enjoy the beauty of Cape Kiwanda, the beach has been a busier and busier place.

But with more people come more problems. Some believe that one potential way to deal with those increasing conflicts is to bring more patrol deputies to the area. And to facilitate just such a discussion, the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce, together with the Pacific City-Woods Citizens Advisory Committee, is hosting an April 18 town hall investigating what it would take to start an enhanced sheriff’s patrol in Pacific City and Neskowin. Adding the community of Tierra Del Mar is also a possibility.

The meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City.

Tillamook Co. Sheriff Andy Long has already held several discussions on the possibility of adding an enhanced sheriff’s patrol including a recent talk at the Pacific Photo by Tim Hirsch City-Woods CAC meeting and the TILLAMOOK COUNTY SHERIFF Andy Long will help lead a discussion March 1 Chamber meeting. on an enhanced sheriff ’s patrol during a town hall on April 18 co“There’s some support for this,” sponsored by the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce Long said at the March Chamber and the Pacific City-Woods Citizens Advisory Committee. meeting. “I think it could work.” the Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority, there At that same meeting, Long said is a tax assessed value of about $380 million.

DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS like these birds perched on a log in the Columbia River are common on inland and coastal waters in Oregon. They catch fish by diving, and nest in colonies often located in trees or on cliff faces. On predator-free islands, they often nest on the ground. Cormorants are protected by international treaty and federal law.

Scare Tactics

Cormorant harassment aims to protect young fish

H

arassment, or “hazing,” of double-crested cormorants is set to begin soon in several areas along the Oregon Coast — including the Nestucca River Estuary — to improve survival of juvenile salmon.

Double-crested cormorants are fish-eating waterbirds that occur throughout the state. The species is an Oregon native, and is particularly prevalent on the state’s estuaries during April through October. Research indicates cormorants can consume significant numbers of juvenile salmon during this time period.

To reduce the threat to young fish, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is working with several nonprofit and local governmental organizations to haze cormorants on six coastal estuaries over the next two to four months.

Hazing will involve driving the birds from locations where juvenile salmon are seasonally concentrated, toward areas where non-salmon fish species are more abundant. Workers will use boats and, on some estuaries, small pyrotechnics, to accomplish the

task.

Hazing is intended to increase the survival of both wild-spawned and hatchery salmon juveniles as they migrate to the ocean. Some of these spring migrants represent species that are experiencing conditions of conservation risk, including coho salmon, which is federally threatened in Oregon under the Endangered Species Act. Hazing workers are being provided by the Clatsop County Fisheries Project, Port of Nehalem, Port of Bandon, North Coast Salmon and Steelhead Enhancement Fund, and Alsea Sportsmen’s Association. ODFW will provide a portion of the funding and program oversight, and will conduct some hazing operations itself to protect hatchery releases on the lower Columbia River.

Hazing will take place as early as April 1 and continue through May 31 on the Nehalem, Nestucca, and Coquille river estuaries, and on Tillamook and Alsea bays. The program will continue through at least July 31 on the lower Columbia River, where hazing will occur at a variety of locations, including Young’s Bay, Blind Slough, and Tongue Point.

A duo that made their mark on Pacific City

By SALLY RISSEL and DOUG OLSON Pacific City, indeed all of Tillamook County, lost two of its long-time, well known and well respected citizens earlier this year.

Elsie V. Wilson Payne passed away Jan. 27, 2016 in Wheeler, Oregon. She was 99 years old.

Elva E. Wilson Henderson Payne passed away Feb. 2, 2016 in Wheeler, Oregon. She was 101.

Elsie Payne was born Dec. 29, 1916 in Beach, North Dakota. She married Oscar Payne who preceded her in death. Elsie spent her last years in Pacific City living with her older sister, Elva. The two sisters shared Elva’s modest home on Brooten Mountain overlooking Pacific City and the Pacific Ocean.

Elsie and Oscar did not have any children. Elsie and Oscar were in the timber and logging business for many years. Each drove a log truck when it was necessary.

They often spent winters in Mexico. Elsie continued to drive until she was 98 years old.

Elva Payne was born on Dec. 9, 1914 in Beach, North Dakota. She is survived by her daughter Doris Ripley, who lives in Beaverton. Elva is also survived by six grandchildren, six great grandchildren and one great great grandchild. Her son, Robert, preceded her in death.

Both Elva and Elsie had recently relocated to a care facility in Wheeler, Oregon where they lived for a short time. They died just six days apart.

Their family’s history is a story of intrigue, hard work, risk taking, and pioneer spirit in the very best tradition of Oregon’s well known pioneers. It’s also a story of family togetherness, literally.

Elsie’s husband, Oscar Payne, and Elva’s first husband, Harvey Henderson, were cousins with their mothers being sisters.

Elsie’s husband, Oscar Payne, was also a first cousin to Elva’s second husband, Elvin Payne. Oscar’s and Elvin’s fathers were brothers.

All in all, it must have made for some interesting holiday gatherings.

Elva married Harvey W. Henderson in 1937 and relocated to Pacific City in April 1950 where the local story begins. Harvey passed away in 1980.

Elvin and Elva were married in 1984.

Elvin passed away in 2005. Elva was better known to folks in Tillamook County as the lady who made things happen in our part of the world. Until the last couple of years, Elva could be seen driving around the

One of their first homes was the gas station building at the end of the runway of the PC airport.

Later, Elva and Harvey built a house for themselves on the south end of Lower Loop and sold the remaining lots one by one in their section of the hill. They moved into their home on Lower Loop where she continued to live after Harvey’s death and her marriage to Elvin.

Visitors to her home were often asked to sign a guest book so she could recall and enjoy memories of those who stopped by.

NEWS&COMMUNITY SOLVE beach cleanup volunteer turnout exceeds expectations

By GRETCHEN AMMERMAN for the Sun

A

record number of people showed up to clean the coast at the spring SOLVE beach cleanup on Saturday, March 26.

“This is the biggest turnout we’ve ever seen,” said Mariah Surat, events coordinator for the Pelican Pub about the large number of people who showed up at Cape Kiwanda, one of the 45 sites planned. The numbers were buoyed by companies that brought employees to the event, including PGE, who brought about 80 people to the coast for the day.

The high number of volunteers for the Pacific City cleanup motivated a split in sites; PGE arranged for a second bag distribution and drop-off area at Bob Straub State Park, where, according to SOLVE staff organizer Mike Malusevic, about 1,500 pounds of trash was collected.

“There were a lot of nets,” he said.

“Also lots of buoys and buckets.”

PGE employee Liz English praised the organization at SOLVE. “They are so great,” she said. “They even let us set up our own web page to organize our volunteers.”

Statewide, about 4,800 volunteers removed nearly 90,000 pounds of litter and marine debris from the Oregon coast.

“Marine debris is one of the biggest issues facing our oceans and beaches,” said Maureen Fisher, CEO of SOLVE. “From a single bottle cap to discarded fishing gear, every piece of trash picked

SCORES OF VOLUNTEERS showed up at the Pelican Pub Saturday, March 26 for SOLVE’s spring beach cleanup — so many that they split the volunteers up, adding a second drop off area for filled bags at Bob Straub State Park. The numbers were boosted by companies who brought employees to participate, including PGE, who added 80 volunteers to the ranks.

OPRD to reveal draft plan for Sitka Sedge State Natural Area on May 5 The Oregon Parks & Recreation Department has scheduled its third series of public meetings for the Sitka Sedge State Natural Area planning effort. Two meetings, both of which will feature a review of the draft plan for the site, will be held this upcoming May — a May 5 meeting at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City, followed by a May 10 meeting at Wilsonville Library.

Both public meetings will be held from 6-8 p.m. The May 5 meeting at Kiawanda Community Center will be preceded with an advisory committee meeting from 1-4 p.m. Though the public may attend the advisory committee meeting, only comments from the committee will be taken at this earlier meeting.

Stimulus to host April 1 reception for photographer Angi Parks

L

ocal photographer Angi Parks will be feted

by Stimulus Espresso Cafe when the popular java joint and eatery hosts an artist reception on Friday, April 1, 4-6 p.m. During the reception, Parks, whose goal is to “show the works of God” as captured through her eyes, will talk about her photos and artwork with guests.

Her artwork, which will be on display throughout the month of April, will be available for purchase.

“My parents bought me my first camera when I was a young girl and I instantly fell in love with it,” says Parks about her photography. “The ability to take photographs of everyday moments and small happenings in my life is still one of my greatest joys. To me, photographs are priceless, because they freeze moments in time that you can cherish forever.”

Parks specializes in senior portraits and nature prints and describes her photography as honest and sincere.

“I use natural light to create oneof-a-kind images that bring out the raw, natural beauty in my photos,” she says.

Now, after hiking 4,000 miles up the eastern and western parts of the United States, he is focusing his energy on sharing the songs and stories he’s picked up along the way.

ANDREAS KLEIN, a German pianist who graduated from Juilliard School of Music will play a Neskowin Chamber Music series concert Sunday, April 10 at 3 p.m. at Camp Wi-Ne-Ma, 5195 Winema Rd., Cloverdale. Tickets at the door are $25. He will also play an Outreach Concert at Nestucca Valley Elementary School on April 11 at 9 a.m., to which the public is invited. For more information, call 503-965-6400.

A Pianist with Power German pianist Andreas Klein to play April 10 Neskowin Chamber Music concert

T

he dynamic sounds of German pianist Andreas Klein will entertain music lovers when the sixth concert of the 2015-2016 season of Neskowin Chamber Music series hits the stage April 10 at 3 p.m. at the Chapel at Camp Wi-Ne-Ma. Hailed as a compelling performer who has a command of a wide range of tonal colors and imaginative interpretations, Klein’s career as an orchestra soloist and recitalist has taken him to some of the world’s most prestigious venues: from London’s Wigmore Hall and Berlin’s Philharmonic Hall to Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center in the U.S. He is also a popular chamber musician, playing with the Salzburg Chamber Soloists in a number of U.S. and foreign cities. Another tour with the Festival Strings of Luzerne took him to ten cities in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. He tours throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Mexico, and even in such remote places as Damascus and Yerevan, Armenia.

Music reviews from all over the world herald Klein’s ability as a pianist. “Pianist who makes silences sound like music” (the New York Times),

“Sensitive interpretation” (Times of London), and “Elaborate display of technical prowess” (Washington Post).

He has been a frequent guest on WGBH in Boston, APR in St. Paul, WFMT in Chicago, and KUHF in Houston. His recital at the Los Angeles County Museum was broadcast live. “Intermezzo with Andreas Klein” was televised by PBS. Klein is a graduate of the Juilliard School in New York. He received a PhD in Musical Studies from Rice University. Copies of his doctoral dissertation on the Chopin Etudes are housed in the libraries of the Chopin Society in Vienna and Leipzig and can be downloaded from the Rice University Library.

Klein will hold an Outreach Program at Nestucca Valley Elementary School in Cloverdale on April 11 at 9 a.m. The public is invited to attend.

Season tickets for Neskowin Chamber Music are $110; individual tickets are $25. For more information, call 503-965-6400 or visit neskowinchambermusic.org. Camp Wi-Ne-Ma is located three miles north of Neskowin, just off Highway 101.

Museum hosts talk on ‘Solitude in a Social World’ In today’s busy world, many people struggle to find solitude and to be comfortable with it when they do. Why is solitude peaceful for some, and punishment for others? How does solitude help—and hinder—our creative and intellectual endeavors? Is our understanding of what it means to be alone evolving? How does our experience of solitude, or lack thereof, affect our relationships and communities? How does place affect our experience of being alone, and how is our identity shaped by solitary reflection?

These are some of the questions to be discussed at “Going Solo: The Value of Solitude in a Social World,” a conversation with Jennifer Allen at 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 2 at the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum. Sponsored by the TCPM Daisy Fund,

and Oregon Humanities, the program is part of the Tillamook County “Year of Wellness” program and is free to all ages.

Allen was director of programs at Oregon Humanities from 2004 through 2014. Her graduate research focused in part on the cultural impacts of technology, which sparked an ongoing interest in the challenges of solitude in our busy and connected lives.

Through the Conversation Project, Oregon Humanities offers free programs that engage community members in thoughtful, challenging conversations about ideas critical to our daily lives and our state’s future.

DAN WARD stands next to a huge spruce tree that was cut down on the Ward property in Neskowin. Circa 1960.

Logging the Lumber

By SALLY RISSEL for the Sun I am always grateful and excited when someone shares some new historical photos and information with me. Mike Ward grew up in Neskowin and attended the one-room school house (now the Schlicting Art Gallery). Ward brought me some pictures of early Neskowin, including this one of a giant spruce cut down by the

Ward Brothers Logging Company in 1960. The spruce stood 140 feet tall and was 11 feet in diameter at the base. The limbs were as big as an average tree. The logs supplied 30,000 feet of lumber. Charles Anderson hauled this one and two others away that were seven and eight feet in diameter.

These large logs often needed to be hauled on a truck one at a time. Most saw mills today are not equipped to process this size log.

TWO YOUTHS show off their winter steelhead catch. The steelhead have been showing up everywhere from the lower river to high in the top end of the Nestucca.

WELCOMING

It’s About Time

Rains relent, fishing opportunities pour in

By PAT GEFRE for the Sun

F

inally the rains, at least for now, have subsided long enough for the Nestucca River to drop below seven feet, and we are getting some quality fishing time. Currently running 6.13 feet, the big Nestucca is what most folks consider the perfect height. With the outlook for the next few days to be sunny and warm and with no rain, we are looking at an extended fishing opportunity at least for the next week.

How’s fishing been? It has been terrific. There are very good numbers of winter steelhead in the system. Fish are still coming in off the ocean providing good fishing in the lower river while at the same time, with all the high waters of the past few weeks, steelhead are everywhere from mid river to high up in the top end of the Nestucca. Higher up you will see mostly wild native fish as it is traditionally the spawning grounds for native steelhead. Better opportunities exist for fin-clipped hatchery steelhead that may be retained in the lower river from 6th bridge on Blaine road to the mouth of Three Rivers. ODFW releases fin-clipped winter steelhead at four locations: the mouth of Three Rivers, Farmer Creek, 1st Bridge in Beaver and Bays Creek between 5 ½ slide on Borba Road and 6th Bridge. These locations all receive equal releases of hatchery steelhead. Steelhead don’t tend to stray very far from the release points and usually return and stay in the vicinity close to where they were originally introduced into the river system. If you want to catch retainable fin-clipped hatchery steelhead, start at 6th bridge and fish down to Cloverdale.

One of the new ways to fish for steelhead is bead fishing. It starts by pegging or pinning a bead about two

to three inches above a bare hook and either float fishing under a bobber or drift fishing the bead with a small free weight. There are many types of beads available. We have discovered that the Blood Dot beads by Troutbeads (made in the USA), VIP beads by VIP outdoors, and Soft Beads by B and R Tackle are some of the top choices for bead fishermen. They come in a variety of colors and sizes with the most popular being 10, 12, and 14 mm. The smaller 10 mm beads are most effective in lower clear water while the bigger 12 and 14 mm beads work better in higher off color water.

Springer season is just around the corner. North coast streams open for spring chinook on April 1. Don’t expect very good numbers until May. Yes, there are a handful of early salmon around in April, but, in my opinion, not enough to spend much time at. If you’re that fisherman that just has to catch the first springer then by all means get to fishing. If you’re the fisherman that takes the more sensible approach, wait until May when the numbers warrant you spending the time fishing for them.

All the local lakes have been stocked with catchable trout and Hebo Lake and Town lake have been getting lots of attention as of late. Both lakes offer a great opportunity to get the youngsters out and fishing. Take your kids or grandkids out for a couple of hours of trout fishing. It won’t take very long to put a few trout in the bucket as the lakes currently have plenty of fish swimming around.

Worms or single eggs under a bobber is an easy way for a little one to catch fish.

With a bobber, they not only stay free of bottom snag ups, they can also see visually when a trout is biting. The only thing you have to teach them is to set the hook while the bobber is under the water, not when it pops back up!

AROUNDTHECOUNTY Year of Wellness to present ‘Challenge Awards’ on April 1 Tillamook County’s Year of Wellness will announce the winners of its first challenge on Saturday, April 2, at the Tillamook County Main Library, Hatfield Room, from 10-11 a.m.

The first challenge session ended on Saturday, March 26 and participants have until March 31 to log in their final numbers. Currently at the top of the team competition is the Rinehart Clinic, followed by the OSU Extension Service Tillamook County and Near Space Corporation. Session number two will begin on April 1 and the April 2 winner event will also double as a chance to sign up for the second challenge session.

“We’ll be hooping it up with more hula-hoop opportunities, information about upcoming April events and much more,” said Michelle Jenck, Year of Wellness coordinator.

The YOW Wellness Challenge is a broad array of events, activities, presentations and much more to provide information and education about nutrition, physical activity and tobacco cessation. Team and individual competitions are available — and participants don’t have to “compete,” but research shows that simply tracking a few areas can have proven positive impacts on health and well-being.

The YOW aligns with employer Wellness Programs to achieve collective improvements of basic health metrics through a “Team Challenge.” One of the key elements is the quick, easy tracking of six areas of focus known to provide health benefits. The challenge is simple to follow and track —just brief check-ins by each participant to log progress in eating healthier, moving more, tracking sleep, water consumption and tobacco use.

“The benefits of participating far outweigh the commitment, and it’s really easy,” Jenck added. “We are recruiting all employers, groups and organizations to make the commitment to participate in the YOW on-line team challenge. This is just round number one, there are many more people that can gain positive impacts from making small changes that can have a lasting, lifetime impact.”

The team challenge isn’t for everyone, and individuals are encouraged to use the online tools and resources (also available in print booklet form at all local library branches) that provide valuable information about nutrition, physical activity, sleep, water consumption and much more.

YOW says its mission is to make Tillamook County a happy, healthy place. For weekly healthy recipes, tips, resources, wellness challenge, and more, go to tillamookcountyhealthmatters.org or visit your local library branch.

Bobcats drop league opener Vernonia tops Nestucca, 6-4, during March 29 contest

By SHIANA WEAVER for the Sun

D

espite battling hard, the Nestucca Bobcats dropped their first league game of the season, a Tuesday, March 29 match against the Vernonia Loggers, by a score of 4-6.

The setback, however, hasn’t dampened the spirits of head coach Ken Richwine, who seems confident things will turn around for the team.

“We are definitely improving and finally coming together as a team. We had more hits than Vernonia did, but a few more errors also.”

Noah Geil pitched a pretty good game and held his composure pretty well when being heckled.

“It’s tough to do” says Richwine. “That is one thing I really like about these boys. They keep on fighting;

it’s what is going to win us games.”

Oli Samek had a two RBI double in the bottom of the seventh inning, Cole Strober went 2-for-2 at the plate, with an additional two walks, giving him a perfect on-base percentage to go with his two RBIs, Samek had two RBIs as well and Noah Chatelain had a 67 percent on-base percentage.

Overall, the team is now 0-4, a losing streak that dates back to their first preseason game, a match they dropped to Warrenton, 1-14, on March 16.

“We definitely made some mistakes, but that’s to be expected when we really haven’t had a chance to get on the field at all, except for this actual game,” Richwine said.

The loss did have its highpoints as the boys made

good catches in the outfield, and did so without even having a fence to help them gauge the distance of the ball.

In other action, the Bobcats dropped a match against Sheridan, 8-12 and a game against Willamina, 0-4.

The Willamina game did once again show some promise, however. “(That) was the cleanest of our pre-season games,” Richwine said. “We just left too many kids on base. We showed some bright spots, some promise. I know these boys can do great things.

They just have to keep working at it and we will do just that.”

The Bobcats return to action on Friday, April 1 at Vernonia for a double header league game, and then return home for a April 5 game against Country Christian.

Lady Bobcats off to a slow start

By SHIANA WEAVER for the Sun The Lady Bobcats opened their league season on Tuesday, March 29, with a 26-4 loss at home against Vernonia.

“We were up against tough competition with an older more experienced team,” head coach Lynn Foster said. “Our girls played with heart.”

Though dramatically behind, the girls continued to work on fundamentals in the field and putting the bat on the ball through out the game.

The loss to Vernonia was not the first for the Lady Bobcats. However they have not had an easy run. Since starting the team back up, they have had to battle bad weather, forcing practice to be indoors, a challenge for the team since indoor practice does not allow for much field time and game cancellations. This lack of real time practice proved negative for the girls in their first game of the preseason on March 16 where they lost 10-1 to Warrenton.

“We’ve got a young team and some inexperienced players,” Foster said.

Still, she hailed the positive attitude team members have been displaying.

“Even with the score not in our favor, our

team finds the positive in what they learned and what their teammates accomplished and we move on from there,” she said.

The girls followed Warrenton with a 4-14 loss to Sheridan on March 17 in a rescheduled match up that had been canceled due to bad weather, and then a devastating loss to Willamina on March 18 when they were beaten by a score of 3-47.

Though the Lady Bobcats have started the season with a losing streak, they do have captains Becca Menefee and Morgan Kirkpatrick leading the team, each coming to the plate with experience and determination. And according to Coach Foster, the girls are getting more comfortable at the plate and having opportunities to put the bat on the ball, increasing their confidence, making them stronger, more softball savvy and comfortable with each other as a team.

“We’ve got first-time players getting base hits and making plays,” Foster said. “That is a success. Our entire team is made up of key players. Each one of our girls brings something unique and beneficial to the team. I am proud to coach this group of girls and we are all excited for where this team is heading.”

The lady Bobcats will play next at Vernonia Friday, April 1 in a double header.

Running Strong at the Regis Relays

By SHIANA WEAVER for the Sun

P

rior to spring break Nestucca’s track and field team competed at Regis Coed Relays, in what head coach John Elder calls “a fun format of relays composed of two boys and two girls.”

The meet was a good start to the season with wins in several of the running relays.

According to Elder, the

Page 18 • Pacific City SUN • April 1, 2016

hurdle relay team looked strong as Wyatt McKillip, Cody Kirkendall, Jessica Bailey and Jaykala Jackson put in a winning performance.

They also had strong looking relay legs from Brad Shaw in the 400- and 800-meter runs, Tea Chatelain in the 400 and 800, Joe Wilkinson with his mile run in 5:29, and Jesse Gard’s 400 and 800. The Bobcats also did well at field events. Alyssa Morgan captured first in the pole

vault and second in shot with a personal record of 29 feet, 8 inches, Brett Elder threw state-leading throws in the discus and shot put, and Ryan Leslie came out with a 10 foot, 6 inch pole vault.

“It was fun to get some competition in and see what we need to work on for later in the season,” says Elder. “It’s a fun format with the coed relays.”

The team’s next meet is Saturday, April 2 at Tillamook.
