OREGON STATE PARKS & RECREATION DEPT. has enacted rules on the beach near Sand Lake Estuary that are designed to protect the Snowy Plover, which is nesting in the area for the first time since 1984.

Protecting the Plover State Parks enacts restrictions on the beach near Sand Lake Estuary to protect nesting Snowy Plovers

O

regon State Parks & Recreation Department recently announced that because the western snowy plover is trying to nest near the mouth of the Sand Lake Estuary, OPRD will be working with partners on a long-term management strategy. This is the first time since 1984 that the rare shorebird has attempted to nest in this area.

In an April 8 release, the agency noted that because plover nests are carefully camouflaged, they need the public’s help in protecting them, help that will come in the form of restrictions on the beach near the estuary.

To give the nests breathing room, a small area close to the south side of the estuary mouth will be marked off. In other areas, bikes need to stick to the hard sand, and kites (which mimic threatening birds) need to stay grounded.

Additional restrictions include the temporary suspension of driving on the beach north of the primary beach access trail, and the prohibition of dogs, whether leashed or unleashed, on this northern portion of beach.

Restrictions are expected to run until at least mid-July. OPRD associate director Chris Havel told the Sun that if birds have not laid eggs in that time, the regulations may be relaxed. However, if the birds are nesting eggs, the beach limitations will likely run through mid-September.

According to Havel, the snowy plover nesting season begins when the male birds scrape out hollows that later become nests. They do four to six “scrapes” to see which attracts a female plover.

Because of this, he says it is the bird that determines how large on off-limit section is. Still, he believes the boundary as is will likely remain.

Map courtesy of ORPRD

DURING SNOWY PLOVER NESTING SEASON, the beach just south of Sand Lake Estuary will be closed to dogs, kites and vehicles. Pedestrians will be asked to stay on wet sand.

“I think we’ve already drawn a boundary where it needs to be,” Havel said. “The plovers are focused on the northern end (of the beach that stretches from Tierra Del Mar to the Sand Lake Estuary). It would be hard to imagine them continuing to march south.”

political forum for Tillamook County Commissioner hopefuls saw six candidates share their goals, aspirations and priorities to members of the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday, April 5.

Though the forum, which was hosted by the Chamber, also invited candidates for the Oregon House of Representative, District 10 seat, challenger Thomas Donohue was unable to attend. Incumbent David Gomberg did speak as did David Downs on behalf of Donohue. The result of the Oregon House May Primary race is already decided as only one democrat, Gomberg, and one republican, Donohue, filed. The two will face off in November.

Things are much different in the two commissioner races where four candidates, Jennifer Purcell, Stevie Stephens Burden, Shaena Peterson and David Yamamoto, of Pacific City, are vying for the chance to replace retiring longtime Commissioner Mark Labhart. Opposing incumbent Bill Baertlein is Belinda Williams.

Baertlein said his experience as a certified public accountant — he opened his own practice in Tillamook in 1980 — has served him well as commissioner.

“In my time as a CPA, I also became a municipal auditor,” he said. “I’ve audited every city in Tillamook County and most of the school districts...I’ve got a broad knowledge of what (makes) county governments work, and I’ve used that in my last four years as county commissioner.”

He added that one of the biggest issues for him is Tillamook County’s lack of housing and noted that’s why he is chairing a housing task force that he also helped to start.

Williams touted her experience in managing budgets, collaboration and project management.

“I’m not afraid to fight for what I believe is right and what is right for the citizens and visitors of Tillamook County,” she said. “I will lead a collaborative effort to develop a comprehensive, county-wide vision for the future of Tillamook County — drawing north, central and south county together to meet the needs of all segments of our growing population with a focus on encouraging a vibrant economy with living wage jobs, affordable housing and a sound infrastructure while preserving our heritage and legacy and managing our resources with the responsibility they are due.”

In her comments, Purcell cited her experience as the current vice-chair of the Tillamook County Futures Council, a former member of the Tillamook County Parks Advisory Committee and a longtime member of the Tillamook Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors as foundation for her preparation for the job of county commissioner.

“Our quality of life depends on a healthy economy and healthy communities,” she said. “Healthy economies depend on having quality infrastructure and a trained workforce. They also rely on small business....I will work to

TILLAMOOK COUNTY COMMISSIONER CANDIDATES shared how they would help run the county should they be elected to serve. Above, candidates Jennifer Purcell and David Yamamoto flank Commissioner Bill Baertlein. Both Purcell and Yamamoto are running for the seat being vacated by Commissioner Mark Labhart. Pictured below are candidates Shaena Peterson, Belinda Williams, and Stevie Stephens Burden. Peterson and Burden are also running for Labhart’s seat while Williams is running against Baertlein.

strengthen community partners in the areas of economic development and education. Tillamook County is a diverse community of communities yet we share a resilient spirit and a collaborative work ethic. I look forward to working together to find solutions to tough issues.”

In explaining what her candidacy is all about, Burden pointed to a personal code of ethics she wrote in 2013 that challenged herself — and others — to examine personal ethics and how we live our lives, as well as how community members can be better versions of themselves and create communities that are better themselves in the process.

“I’ve been five times the Mayor of Wheeler,” she added. “I have all the list of accomplishments (needed for the position). I think there’s a lot of things we need to talk about, and I’m already involved in making hard choices in Tillamook County.”

Yamamoto referred to his 23 years experience in the forest products industry and 20 years in the long-term care industry as valuable experience.

He also noted that he’s been involved in more than 20 government and civic organizations.

“I have experience in land use planning, in ocean policy, visioning, transportation, health care, senior issues, economic development and emergency preparedness, as well as other issues,” he said. “It gives me a broad-based focus for Tillamook County. I do feel that people are Tillamook County’s greatest asset. I think we all want the same thing. We all

Page 6 • Pacific City SUN • April 15, 2016

want to work hard and become productive citizens. We all want to make sure our children are well educated.

We want to make sure that our kids have a better opportunity at life than we did. We want to know that our elderly are taken care of.”

“There are a lot of issues in Tillamook County,” he added. “Fiscal responsibility is going to be at the top of my plate. I think when you look at the budget, coming up this year and in the future with Tillamook County, things are going to get very difficult.”

He also said that workforce housing is an important issue, adding that its a problem not only with entry-level jobs but for management people when they come to Tillamook County.

Peterson touted the difference she says she’s made as Mayor of Bay City, including transforming an area that had streets in terrible repair to one with some of the better roads in the county, an accomplishment she said was done by adding a street maintenance fee. She, too, acknowledged the fiscal challenge the county is facing and pledged to streamline its efficiency.

“For 20 years, I’ve been looking for innovative ways for saving my city money,” she said. “We’ve got 130 employees. I’ll talk to every one of them.

There’s going to be ideas about efficiency, about ways to improve. There’s not a doubt in my mind that we can improve by 5 percent. Whether it’s about turning off the lights or making one trip instead of two there will be ideas that will make this county more efficient.”

Nestucca students to perform ‘Annie’ The story of how Annie and Oliver Warbucks found each other will be replayed April 27, 29 and 30 when Nestucca Jr.-Sr. High School students perform “Annie,” their 55th annual spring musical at the school.

The show, based on the comic strip “Little Orphan Annie” is a feel-good play set during the great depression that tells the story of orphan “Annie” finding a better life and in turn making billionaire Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks realize that life is about more than material wealth.

“We’ve done Annie before,” said director Kelli McMellon, who has worked on shows at NVHS since 2001, and at Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts for the same period as well. “It has the right requirements for casting, and it’s a fun musical with a positive message. I have a personal connection to the show because my uncle, Reed Shelton, was the first Daddy Warbucks in a production at NVHS in the 70s.”

The cast includes Jaykayla Jackson as Annie, Ian Anderson as Oliver Warbucks, Morgan Kirkpatrick as Miss Hannigan, and Cameron Weger as Grace Farrell. Students will be in charge of almost all aspects of the show including performing, set design and construction, stage managing, lighting and sound.

“Rehearsals are going very well so we’re excited to open,” McMellon said. “It’s a great show for the whole family.”

An all-volunteer orchestra from all over the state of Oregon will provide the musical accompaniment. A matinee performance will be on Wednesday, April 27, 11 a.m., and 7 p.m. evening shows will hit the stage on Friday, April 29 and Saturday, April 30.

Reservations are available at 503-392-3194, ext. 230 and general admission tickets are available at the door. Ticket prices are $10 reserved, $8 general admission for adults, and $5 for students. Children under 5 years old are free.

PCJWSA considering options to fund wastewater treatment plant improvement The Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority held a public workshop on April 5 to discuss a more equitable way to pay for the upcoming improvement to its wastewater treatment plant. Instead of a flat capital improvement charge for all customers, which has been called unfair by some given the higher use by commercial properties and vacation rental owners, they presented options based on water consumption and by customer type (residential, commercial and short-term rental).

The PCJWSA board said that after examining customer use habits, they had concerns that a consumption model could end up costing many users more because of their higher summer use. Still, some, including Pacific City resident Daryle Jimerson, supported this

idea.

On the other hand, billing by customer type would lower the burden on residential owners to a $20 increase instead of a $30 increase. Under this alternative, commercial accounts would pay an additional $125 a month and shortterm rentals an additional $60. However, there were some members of the public that worried that such a plan would put an unfair burden on small businesses.

With that in mind, some suggested a hybrid of the consumption model and the billing by customer type plan.

The PCJWSA board is expected to make a final determination at its May 3 meeting, which will be held at 5 p.m. at the Authority’s conference room. For more information on the upgrade, visit www.pcjwsa.com or call 503-965-6636.

Nestucca Fire honors volunteers The Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District honored key contributions over the last year during its annual banquet on March 5 at Tillamook Elks Lodge.

For 2015, firefighter Roy Hansen was lauded as “Volunteer of the Year,� firefighter Laurie Caspell as “EMS Provider of the Year,� firefighter Kylie Rogers as “Rookie of the Year,� firefighter Tucker Slavens as “Firefighter of the Year,� and Captain Bill Slavens as “Officer of the Year.�

Nestucca Fire also awarded the Nesko Women’s Club and Nestucca Valley Lions Club for “Outstanding Community Service of the Year.�

The organization also recognized its community service partners,, which included North Lincoln Fire & Rescue, Classic Air Medical Lifeguard 9, Tillamook County Sheriff’s Chaplains, and Tillamook Regional Medical Center and Ambulance.

A retirement plaque was given to Captain Jim Straessle for his 21 years of service.

Chief Kris Weiland told the Sun that the event is a chance for the district to recognize its volunteers for the hours of time and work they donate to the community. He said that to maintain training requirements, volunteers attended more than 100 hours of training last year – not including the many hours spent responding to the 848 calls Nestucca Fire responded to in 2015.

Other undocumented volunteer time is logged when volunteers visit schools to promote fire prevention, install smoke detectors in homes, and participate in community events such as Clover’s Day, Dory Days, Neskowin Walkabout, an Easter egg hunt, and Christmas tree lighting ceremonies in both Pacific City and Cloverdale. Volunteers also assist with the South Tillamook County Christmas Basket Program.

Transfer Station debuts expanded hours

Monday-Friday 7:30am-6pm • Saturday 8am-5pm • Sunday 9am-4pm

2 N. Main, Tillamook, OR 503.842-4434 www.rbslumber.com CCB#171850

Starting April 15, the Pacific City Transfer Station, which is operated by the Tillamook County Solid Waster Department, will be expanding its hours.

Summer hours will be Friday and Saturday, 9 a.m.-4- p.m., and Sundays and Mondays 1-4 p.m.

The changes are, at least in part, in response to a survey last year that revealed that users’ most wanted day is Saturday, followed by Friday, Sunday and Monday, in order of preference.

Many of those participating in the survey that requested it to be open on Mondays were business owners.

Other changes since the survey include the acceptance of the following materials: electronic waste, additional plastics, asphalt shingles, used cooking oil and, once the station receives a densifier, styrofoam. The station will continue to charge garbage on a weight basis with a minimum charge of $8.

Bobcat runners score well at home meet SHIANA WEAVER for the Sun

T

he Bobcats track team is off to a good start and recorded first- and second-place efforts in several of the events at an April 7 meet at Nestucca.

The boys’ 4x100-meter relay team of Jesse Gard, Ryan Leslie, Cody Kirkendall, and Wyatt McKillip recorded a season’s best with a 48.0 run, good enough to net them first place.

The girls’ team was shorthanded because of injury and illness, but managed to win the relay. The 4x100 relay team of Willow Wood, Alyssa Morgan, Tea Chatelain and Jaykayla Jackson ran a season best of 54.4.

The boys also were tops in the 1,500 meter behind Raymond Cruz’s winning time of 4:44.5, who was followed closely by freshman Joe Wilkinson with a PR 4:51.2.

Wyatt McKillip came in second for the 110-meter high hurdles at 16.8, receiving another season’s best for the day. Cody Kirkendall took second with 46.6 for the 300-meter hurdles. For the girls, Jaykayla Jackson won the high hurdles going away at 17.2, with Jessica Bailey in fourth with a PR of 22.9.

For the coed 4x800 relay, Brad Shaw led off with what head coach John Elder calls “an outstanding 2:09 leg,� followed by Rachel Whittles, Payton Hopkins and Raymond Cruz to take the win.

The team then battled against Vernonia through three legs for the

4x400 relay. Brad Shaw blew the race wide open with a 54.5 anchor leg for Nestucca as Wyatt McKillip, Cody Kirkendall, and Raymond Cruz kept the ‘Cats in the lead for the win.

The team continued their winning streak in field events with Brett Elder winning all three throws, including a season best 170-7 in javelin, 50-4.5 in shot, and 155-2 in discus. Thelam Chavari won the javelin with a throw of 86-7, a PR, and was second in the discus at 80-3.

Freshman Josh Seals got a PR in both shot and high jump. Willow Wood won both the high jump (4-4) and triple jump (29-4) with Isabel Bruce coming up with three PRs for the meet (long jump, triple jump, and javelin). Oli Samek had a two-foot PR in shot put for the boys and Alyssa Morgan won the pole vault at 8-0, and the shot at 30-1, both marks PR’s. Tess Buford had two PRs, one in the shot (23-1) and the other in the discus (60-0).

According to Elder, the pole vault saw some good jumping as Ryan Leslie won with a season best — 11-6. Luis Romero had a PR at 9-6 and Brad Zeller also PR’ed at 9-6.

Romero also won the triple jump with a PR of 36-1, defeating teammate Ryan Leslie who was 355. Alyssa Morgan also won the pole vault at 8-0. Payton Hopkins won the 1,500 at 5:42.3, with teammate Rachel Whittles in second at 5:50.2, a PR. Becca Ziegler also PR’ed at 6:54.2.

Lesson Learned the Hard Way?

In search of a bigger police presence

Photo by Tim Hirsch

A PAIR OF OREGON CITY JET SKIERS were able to avert the loss of their truck and jet ski on Saturday, April 9 thanks to the helping hands of doryman Don Grotjohn and tow truck driver Sherwin Jones of Shur-Win Enterprises. The couple had reloaded their jet ski aboard the trailer when the tow rig apparently dug itself into the soft sand and the incoming tide began encircling the vehicle.

During the extrication, Grotjohn used his SUV to help anchor Jones’s truck while he winched the sinking pickup and trailer. The vehicle driver declined to share his identity and story with the Sun.

TILLAMOOK COUNTY SHERIFF ANDY LONG will help lead a discussion on an enhanced sheriff ’s patrol during a town hall on Monday, April 18 co-sponsored by the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Pacific CityWoods Citizens Advisory Committee. The meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City.

At the March 1 Chamber meeting, Long said that each deputy would cost approximately $79,000.

Additionally, a vehicle and equipment would cost about $14,000. In Pacific City, if you assume the boundaries of the Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority, there is a tax assessed value of about $380 million. That number, Long said, would translate into costing taxpayers here about $0.28 per thousand of tax assessed value to fund each officer. In Neskowin, it would be slightly more owing to their lower total assessed value.

An Evening with Just Good Folk

T

he Thomas Goodwin Gallery, 34390 Hwy. 101 S in Cloverdale, will host a concert by folk singer and songwriter David Roth on Sunday, April 24 at 5 p.m. Local folk artists Fred Bassett and Sonya Kazen will open the show.

With 13 CDs to his credit, Roth has played in venues throughout the United States and abroad for almost 30 years. His songwriting has been read or heard at such diverse places as the Kennedy Center, the United Nations, several “Chicken Soup for the Soul” books, Carnegie Hall, and Peter, Paul, & Mary concerts. One of his songs has even been played in space. In May 2009, his song “Rocket Science” went up on the Space Shuttle Atlantis’ mission to repair the Hubble Telescope.

When he comes to the Pacific Northwest, he usually plays large venues in Portland and Seattle on the weekends, but also likes to play small gigs like the one in Cloverdale.

This marks the 13th year he has played in the Pacific City-Cloverdale area, with his first stint coming when he first played in Pacific City at the invitation of his friend Pat Rickert, playing a small intimate concert Courtesy photo in her living room.

Thomas Goodwin Gallery to host Istanbul carpet show Mehmet Sahin will be showcasing more than 200 of his magic carpets from Istanbul, Turkey when he hosts a show at Cloverdale’s Thomas Goodwin Gallery and Studio, April 29-May 1.

Hand-woven with pure, hand-spun wool, cotton, or silk, each piece hails from its original region. Gallery owner Thomas Goodwin hails the event as an “unusual opportunity to see this fine art form and share the vast knowledge that Mehmet will offer.”

Goodwin adds that each is a unique collectible and emphasizes that none are made by machine or of synthetic materials, and none produced via child labor.

Mehmet is from the Anatolia region of Turkey where sheep are raised naturally on organic farms.

Goodwin says it’s an area where the sheep’s wool has supported a “beautiful, comfortable lifestyle for thousands of years.”

The Istanbul carpets, which range from 2- by 3-feet to 10 by 14-feet in size, will be available for sale during the show, as will refreshments and Turkish coffee.

The Thomas Goodwin Gallery and Studio is located on Highway 101 in downtown Cloverdale. For more information, visit thomasgoodwin.com or call 503-329-8345.

ODFW to host April 16 family fishing event at Hebo Lake The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife invites new anglers to take part in its Family Fishing Event Saturday, April 16 at Hebo Lake from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event is free, and ODFW staff and volunteers will be on hand to assist youngsters who want to learn how to fish.

The lake will be stocked with over 3,000 rainbow trout just prior to the event.

ODFW will provide equipment including rods, reels and bait for use during the event if needed. Angling Education Instructors and volunteers will be present to answer questions and offer assistance to less experienced anglers.

“This is an excellent opportunity for anyone to discover fishing, or get reac-

quainted if they have been away from the sport for a while,” said Ron Rehn, STEP biologist for ODFW’s North Coast Watershed.

Under Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations, anglers ages 11 and under can fish for free while those 12-17 will need to have a juvenile angling license. All fishing regulations continue to apply during this event.

Hebo Lake is a 2-acre lake located 3 ½ miles east of the Hebo Ranger Station on the Hebo Mountain Road. From Hebo, take Hwy. 22 ¼ mile east, then turn left onto Forest Road 14. The U.S. Forest Service, which manages the lake and campground, will waive the $5 day use fee during this event. Overnight camping fees will continue to apply.

rue, “Birding by Day, Blues by Night� isn’t the motto of Pacific City’s Birding & Blues Festival, but maybe it should be. After a day of birding field trips and presentations, festival attendees, and local townspeople, too, have the opportunity to kick up their heels at two family-friendly blues concerts Friday, April 29 and Saturday, April 30 at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., in Pacific City.

The RockHounds start off the weekend on Friday, April 29 with a mix of blues standards and danceable classic rock songs. For almost 20 years the RockHounds have been one of the Northwest’s most popular classic rock and blues bands.

With band members from all over the United States, the RockHounds are a true American Band. Band members are Stan “Rusty� Cook (Oregon), Greg “Angel Lips� Sommers (Minnesoa), Kevin “Yah Brah� Kaneta (Hawaii), Craig “CrashBoom-Bang� Cunningham (New York), and James “El Supremo� Scheidt (SA).

Franco Paletta & The Stingers will provide the entertainment on Saturday, April 30. Lead singer Franco Paletta broke into the Portland blues scene in the mid 80s. His unique vocals and dynamic harp style quickly made him a favorite blues personality in Portland.

Paletta’s unique vocal style let’s you know you are listening to a true bluesman. “I don’t try to sound like anyone,� he says. “When people listen to me sing, they get pure Franco. I’ve been given a gift, and when I sing the blues, it’s my way of passing that on to someone else.�

His harmonica influences include

Paul Butterfield, Little Water Jacobs, Sonny Boy Williamson, James Cotton, Kim Wilson, Big Walter Horton, William Clark, and Rod Piazz. “There are just so many great players; I try to take a little from each of them,� he says.

Paletta has shared the stage with Portland Blues luminaries such as Paul DeLay, Curtis Salgado, and Lloyd Jones.

In 2007, he won the Cascade Blues Association’s “Journey to Memphis� competition and represented the CBA at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee.

Franco has regularly played at festivals around the Northwest, including the Waterfront Blues Festival in Portland, Oregon; Winthrop Blues Festival in Winthrop, Washington; the Tri-Cities Blues Festival in Walla-Walla, Washington; and the Biscuits and Blues Festival in San Francisco, California.

Loose

A Celebratory Spring

By VERNE MOBLEY Lion Membership Chairman

Our Nestucca Valley Lions Club is having a great spring with informative meetings, fun parties and looking forward to the Oregon Lions annual convention.

We hope to initiate Harland Rayne, the owner-manager of the Dory Cafe at our next meeting. Welcome Harland to the biggest service organization in the world. Yeah! The Lions!!

Many Lions from here celebrated a going away party for longtime Lion Gus Peterson on April 4 at Tom Goodwin’s new, beautiful, very fancy Tom Goodwin Gallery & Studio. Gus was a little emotional about leaving for Wisconsin, but looks forward to living near his daughters, Ruby and Roberta, and truly outstanding grandkids. Gus and his late wife Lois moved here in about 1973 from Wisconsin with good friends Dr. Jim and Mary Lasley. About 50 friends attended the potluck dinner and music party. Again, best wishes from us all, Gus!!

On May 13th and 14th, many Oregon Lions will be at the 7 Feathers Casino near Canyonville. Several of us local Lions plan to be there. We hope to hit big jackpots down there!

No, doubt we will!!!?? It’s great to be a Lion!

See or call any Lion about membership. My number is 971-257-0200.

FISHING&OUTDOORS

SPRING CHINOOK SALMON like this trophy caught last year are expected to return to the Nestucca River soon.

Spring Into Pole Position Fishing options abound in Nestucca River, Hebo Lake

By PAT GEFRE for the Sun First springer caught! Yes, although it was a wild spring salmon and had to be released, nonetheless it was the first one of the year for the Nestucca. There have been some scattered reports from the Trask River this week that a handful of springers have been caught there as well. The Nestucca springer was caught just below Farmer Creek on bobber and beads and a small bit of roe eggs. But don’t get too excited, at least not just yet — it is entirely possible we won’t see another spring salmon for a couple of weeks. You just never know.

Conditions in the river will affect the terms and conditions of further salmon surrendering to hook and line. For one, currently the ocean is warmer than the river and two, it is full of feed, so for spring salmon to give up a warmer ocean with a good food source, the river has to be more accommodating and come up in temperature 4 to 5 degrees. When the temperature conditions improve in the Nestucca River, salmon will start to migrate in better numbers and the fishery will finally take off. As a rule, May is a much better fishery than April, and June is the top month for north coast springers. I would give it two to three weeks before getting serious and spending much time trying to catch a springer, unless of course, you are one of those that just has to catch an early salmon.

Meanwhile, there are still fair numbers of winter steelhead still around.

Late comers are still showing up in small numbers and are mixed with downriver fish that have already spawned. Fishing for them hasn’t been too bad, mostly because the number of boaters has been significantly reduced. With the lower river levels, most of the effort has been concentrated in the lower river. First bridge to Cloverdale has been getting all the attention. Only those with pontoons or rafts can avail the upper river. Blaine

to First Bridge has been getting some attention from those fishermen, and I’m told there are still fair numbers of winter steelhead being caught in the upper river. With the lack of many boaters, the numbers seem to be just right for the remaining fishermen to get a few biters in all sections of the river.

Small piece of advice for jig fishermen — jigs under a bobber are deadly for catching winter steelhead, but now that the water is lower and much clearer, some adjustment in your thinking is needed. When the water is higher and off color, bright colored jigs in pink, red, orange, and peach are the go-to colors.

Now that the water is lower and clear, more muted colors such as black, dark brown, dark green are catching more fish. Size matters — in high water fish ¼ ounce jigs with more presence, in lower water fish 1/8 ounce or even 1/16 ounce and reduce the presence to get more bites.

Other good news: Some of the guides have reported catching a few summer steelhead. It’s early for those, too, but it’s nice to see some showing up in the catch.

This Saturday, April 16, 9 a.m.-4 p.m., the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife host their annual family fishing event at Hebo Lake. Instruction, fishing equipment, and bait are all provided at no cost. The lake has been fully stocked with catchable rainbow trout. Under Oregon Sports Fishing Regulations, anglers ages 11 and under can fish for free (no license required) while those from ages 12-17 will need to have a juvenile angling license. All fishing regulations continue to apply during the event. There is an eight-inch minimum length and a five-fish bag limit in place year round at Hebo Lake. Note: Those under 11 years of age can fish for trout without a license.

However, if they are fishing for salmon or steelhead, they need a free fishing license and a juvenile reporting tag at a cost of $5 for the year.

THE 12TH ANNUAL PACIFIC CITY

BIRDING & BLUES FESTIVAL APRIL 29MAY 1, 2016

Pioneer Trail Tour

Leaders: Ken Chamberlain & Michelle Dragoo This trip will take birders over old pioneer roads in the Coast Range combining birding and biology along historic roadways. Old settlements disappear quickly in this environment, indiscernible without a guide. Ruffed Grouses, Red-Breasted Sapsuckers, Wilson’s Warblers, Cassin’s Vireos and American Dippers frequent the area. $25 additional fee. Limited to 20 people. Box lunch available for $10 extra.

Birding by Ear

Leader: Ram Papish Most beginning birders identify birds by what they look like. After spending time in our lush, dense Northwest habitats, they realize that our fine-feathered friends are often easier to hear than see. This field trip will concentrate on listening for birds and identifying them by their songs and call notes. (But don’t worry; we’ll do some looking, too.)

A BENEFIT CONCERT AT BURKHARDT GALLERY featuring Fred Bassett and Sonya Kazen helped to raise $849 for the Tillamook Animal Shelter on April 2. Also contributing to the donation were 20 percent of that day’s art sales, customer donations throughout the day, and proceeds from the sale of artwork by Michael Soeby.

Benefit raises nearly $850 for animal shelter

T

hanks to the hosting and organizing efforts of Marilyn Burkhardt and Wendy Thompson of the Burkhardt Gallery in Cloverdale, the Tillamook Animal Shelter is just a little bit closer to meeting the needs of its new location just off Highway 101.

In total, $849 was raised by a combination of a percentage of April 2 art sales and a benefit concert held that same day, which featured the musical talents of Fred Bassett and Sonya Kazen. Marilyn Burkhardt told

the Sun that many guests throughout the day contributed. Sales of pottery donated by Lincoln City artist Michael Soeby were also a part of the total.

According to shelter volunteer Rebecca Hopkins, who shared her thanks during intermission, the monies will be used to help fund the installation of kennel walls at the shelter.

“I really appreciate Marilyn and Wendy putting this on and Fred and Sonya doing such a great job — I’ve

really enjoyed your music tonight,” she said. “This is so, so important and we really need all the help we can get.

There’s a lot of work to do on the new property, and I really appreciate your support.”

Burkhardt said she organized the event because she is a self-identified animal lover and likes the idea of supporting a no-kill shelter.

“This was a really big success all the way around,” Burkhardt said. “We were really happy with it.”
