We Agree!

It’s Time to Save Our Roads!

County Democratic Central Committee Chair Lenora Lawrence and Republican Central Committee Chair James Welsh sign a Joint Resolution in support of the Tillamook County Road Bond on the November ballot.

Joint Resolution Democratic Central Committee of Tillamook County, OR Republican Central Committee of Tillamook County, OR WHEREAS; Tillamook County, Oregon currently has the worst road system in the State of Oregon as determined by both subjective and objective engineering measures, and; WHEREAS; Public funding for construction, maintenance and repair of county roads and related systems including culverts, signage and drainage has been significantly reduced over past years as a result of decreased forest harvests and budget shortfalls at both state and federal levels, and; WHEREAS; Tillamook County’s budget cannot provide additional funding in support of roads without seriously compromising other mandated and necessary programs including law enforcement, functions of the county clerk, appraiser, health services and more, and; WHEREAS; Real Property Taxes cannot be used for the maintenance and repair of county road systems except by special election per Oregon Law, and; WHEREAS; The county’s road system is continuing to deteriorate and cause further safety concerns, economic damage to county citizens and business interests, and loss of value and investment of Tillamook County’s largest public asset, and; WHEREAS; A private group, Tillamook County Citizens for Sustainable Roads (TCCSR), was formed to analyze the county’s road system problems, review potential funding solutions and recommend a possible solution to the County Commission, and; WHEREAS; That group, TCCSR, has found that the only viable, legal and realistic method of funding capital improvements to Tillamook County roads would be a General Obligation bond in an amount sufficient to begin the repair and restoration of county roads, and; WHEREAS; TCCSR has asked the Tillamook County Commission to place a $15 million bond measure before the voters of Tillamook County at the November 8, 2011 election, and: WHEREAS; The Tillamook County Commission has agreed to place and pay the election costs for a bond measure question before registered voters at the November 8, 2011 election which has been assigned the ballot title of Measure 29-124, and; WHEREAS; The successful passage of the bond measure will begin restoration and repair of Tillamook County’s road system which will benefit all citizens of Tillamook County, and; WHEREAS; Improvements to Tillamook County’s Road System will benefit public safety, commercial activity, point to point movement of people and goods and will help protect and preserve Tillamook County’s largest and most valuable asset.

NOW, THERFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: The Central Committees of both the Democratic Party and Republican Party of Tillamook County find that successful passage of Ballot Measure # 29-124 on the November 2011 ballot is a necessary, reasonable and cost effective approach to begin solving Tillamook County’s road system’s problems.

The Committees further RESOLVE that successful passage of ballot measure # 29-124 will serve the public interest, general welfare and safety of the citizens of Tillamook County and others who may use the road system of Tillamook County.

The Committees further RESOLVE and find that Measure # 29-124 is bipartisan by its very nature and urge support of the measure.

PACIFIC CITY — Are you ready for a terror-ible time? Then check into the haunted happenings at the Kiawanda Community Center for a spell on Oct. 31!

The center is once again bringing back its annual Halloween party, a time-honored tradition of fun and games in a safe environment for the youth of the area.

This time, however, the spooky fun will be contagious as the center expands the fun to the great outdoors. From 6-8 p.m., the ghouls and goblins can choose between the comfy, but zany fun of the carnival inside and the center’s new “Trick-or-Trunk” event that will feature cars and their drivers dressed to the hilt.

“Trick or Trunk” was conceived by organizer Ida Monroe as an environment that offers parents, grandparents and student drivers, too, the chance to showcase their own penchant for chilling charades this Halloween.

“It’s a safe environment for children to come and trick-or-treat,” she said. “We’ve designed this as a nice party both inside and out.”

A trophy and prizes will be awarded for the best themed driver costume/best designed car. Entries will be judged at approximately 7:15 p.m. Runner-up prizes will also be up for grabs. To augment the safe environment, the “Trick or Trunk” event Photo by Tim Hirsch will host decorated entries courtesy of the THE CAKE WALK is a longtime tradition of the Kiawanda ComNestucca Rural Fire Protection District and munity Center’s annual Halloween party.

This covered bridge was an important passageway for both Cloverdale and Woods residents as it crossed the Nestucca River and led to downtown Cloverdale. It was located in the same location as the current Cloverdale Bridge. Early bridges were covered to allow for greater longevity of their wooden structure. Covered bridges lasted about 10 times longer than those exposed to the elements.

Under cover!

By SALLY RISSEL for the Sun The heyday of covered bridges in Oregon occurred between 1905 and 1925, when there were an estimated 450 covered bridges in the state. It dwindled in 1977 to 56, and the number is 50 today. Oregon has the largest collection of covered bridges in the west and one of the largest in the nation.

My cousin just did a sports car tour of some of the bridges.

“Why were there covered bridges in the first place?” he asked of me.

I had to think for a minute, but research verified the answer. No, it isn’t the romantic explanation that it was a place to meet your sweetheart for a priPhoto courtesy of Tillamook County Pioneer Museum vate kiss or a place to get out of the weather with The 60-foot long East Creek Bridge in Blaine was built in 1928. your open-topped car.

Reaping recreation!

HUNDREDS of commuity members and school supporters got in on the fun during Neskowin Valley School’s annual Harvest Festival on Oct. 8. One of two parent-run fundraisers, the event is crucial to the financial picture of the experiential school that serves children from kindergarten through the eighth grade. “A thank you goes out to not just everyone who came (to the event), but also to all the individuals and businesses that contributed foods, goods and services,” said Julie Fiedler, NVS head of school. The school also got a shot in the arm in its effort to secure funds to install new playground equipment — approximately $1,000 was donated to a special fund, which will be matched by a private donor in memory of longtime NVS teacher Lainie Koch.

Above, Rhys Thomas of Jugglemania gets kids in on the act in one of two performances at this year’s festival. At left, children prepare to do battle in the 2011 NVS Harvest Festival jousting ring. At right, Gordon Whitehead mans his cider press. Whitehead’s fresh-squeezed apple juice was a popular choice for the thirsty throughout the fair weather day.

A high-wire act

Extension Service makes child care help available TILLAMOOK — Are you looking for child care in Tillamook County? If so, the Child Care Resource & Referral (CCR&R) program, which is part of Oregon State University (OSU) Extension Service in Tillamook County, would like to help you in your search.

The CCR&R program, Family Care Connection for Clatsop, Lincoln and Tillamook Counties, is headquartered in Newport where Family Care Connection has been a part of Lincoln County Extension Service since 1998. According to Nina Roll, Family Care Connection Director, “Our CCR&R County Coordinator for Tillamook and Clatsop counties is Tara Mestrich. Tara works out of our satellite office at OSU Extension Service in Astoria.”

Tillamook families can reach Tara at the toll fee line 877-333-4960. “If you don’t reach Tara directly we recommend you leave a detailed message and your call will be returned as soon as possible,” added Roll.

Family Care Connection works with parents seeking child care, as well as parents with questions about what is important in child care, or perhaps with questions about their child’s development. According to Mestrich, “We serve all populations and economic levels, and we offer a personalized referral service including information on selecting quality child care, referrals to local child care providers and school age programs, and potential resources to help with the cost of care.”

Family Care Connection works with local child care providers in Tillamook County, connecting them with parents who need child care, and offering information, resources and technical assistance. A variety of trainings for child care providers are offered on a regular schedule at the Tillamook OSU Extension Service office. For more information on these trainings, contact Mestrich at the toll free line 877-333-4960.

Family Care Connection also works with state agencies and local communities to address the growing demand for quality childcare in the three county area. While child care is a fundamental service for parents so that they can go to work, research shows that early child care environments have a significant impact on the healthy development of children, their readiness to learn, and their success in school and later in life.

By VICKY HIRSCH for the Sun CLOVERDALE — If watching professional fast-paced basketball tricks and amusing antics at the expense of local celebrities sounds like a great way to spend a fall evening, you are in luck. The Harlem Ambassadors will once again be bringing their high octane basketball exhibition to Nestucca Jr./Sr. High School on Tuesday, Nov. 8 at 7 p.m.

Billed as an event that is truly fun for the whole family, the show will consist of the Ambassadors showing off their skills and getting the crowd laughing with their hilarious hijinks. The fun will go down during an exhibition game between the Ambassadors and our local team, the South County Slammers, comprised of local citizens and celebrities.

Some of the local celebrities giving their to time to this fundraiser for the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce are Undersheriff Andy Long, general manager of the Port of Tillamook Michelle Bradley, Tillamook County Commissioner Chuck Hurliman and Tillamook County Economic Development Director Dan Biggs.

The Harlem Ambassadors Professional Show Basketball team was conceived in October 1997 by Dale Moss, who had an extensive career in professional sports management and marketing and a desire to create the Harlem Ambassadors concept. His search for the right person to direct the team’s basketball operations led him to S. “Lade Majic” Prophete. Since then, the team has grown to two touring units performing hundreds of events and “Stay in School, Stay off Drugs” youth programs here in the United States and in foreign countries and overseas territories.

Various local businesses have made generous donations to help make this event a reality, said Chamber President Jeremy Strober.

“A huge thanks go to Cloverdale Pharmacy and Good Neighbor Pharmacies for being the event sponsors,” he said.

Additional main sponsors include “ticket sponsor” Pacific City Homes and “lodging sponsor” the Inn at Cape Kiwanda. Many other businesses have chipped in their support. There are still sponsorship opportunities available. Call Jeremy Strober at 503-965-0088.

“The fact that we can bring this kind of family-friendly event is a real treat,” said Strober. “The event in 2008 was just a lot of fun. It was great to see so many people from the community come out to

Dancing and prancing BEAVER — The colorful pageantry of dancing Andalusian horses will be in the spotlight when a Charro horsemanship exhibition takes center stage on Saturday, Oct. 22 at Emerald Valley Ranch, 2340 Bunn Creek Road in Beaver.

The 1 p.m. show will the latest event in a series of events organized by promoter José Solano in his effort to highlight National Hispanic Heritage Month.

The month long tribute has included a concert of dances and songs of Southern Spain, library presentations on Central America, a class on cooking authentic paella, and a dance featuring Puerto Rican, Cuban and Afro-Caribbean music.

This time around, the happenings will turn towards horses dressed in colorful costumes with broad sombreros similar to mariachi musicians. Horses involved in the exhibition will include Andalusian, Friesian and Azteca horses dancing and performing to the accompaniment of mariachi music.

Featured in the exhibition are Charro horsemen Ismael Alvarez, Benjamín García, Miguel Santana, Luís Bazán and Samuel García.

The performance will take place in a covered horse arena in which Darlene Rees also offers horse riding lessons through the week and trains kids for 4-H Tillamook County Fair horseman-

ship competitions.

Solano says that the event, for the first time in the U.S., will also a present an equestrian art form that has become very popular in Southern Spain.

Flamenco dancer Rafaela de Cádiz will dance with an Andalusian horse ridden

by Miguel Santana to the accompaniment of flamenco guitarist José Solano.

The Andalusian horse is a very ancient breed developed in Southern Spain and highly prized throughout Europe. It is the foundation stock of the famous Lipizzaner horses of the Austrian school. The Royal School of Equestrian Art in Jerez, Spain is where the best Andalusian horses are bred and trained. Charro is a term referring to a traditional horseman — mostly cowboys — from Mexico, originating in the central-western regions primarily in the state of Jalisco and including Zacatecas, Durango, Guanajuato, Morelos, and Puebla.

Advance tickets are available for $5, $3 for children — there is no charge for youths five and under. Tickets at the door will be $6 for adults, $4 for children. Free parking is available. For special children’s group discounts and for advance sale reservations, call 503965-2244 or 503-812-6726.

Say ‘bye’ to your old meds TILLAMOOK — Got old meds?

Then it’s time to protect you and your family by safely disposing of them.

Tillamook County Solid Waste, Tillamook Estuaries Partnership, Tillamook Family Counseling Center, and the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Department have teamed together to offer a way to safeguard your family as the four organizations are sponsoring a medical collection event on Oct. 29 at Tillamook County Fairgrounds.

The event is a free opportunity to clean out your medicine cabinets and safely dispose of any unused or expired prescription or over-the-counter medications. The Tillamook County Sheriff’s booth at the fair will collect the unused medication from 9 a.m. to noon.

Improper storage and disposal of medications can lead to public and environmental health and safety issues. Flushing medications down the sink and toilet can result in the contamination of our source water, impacting drinking water and fish populations.

Kayakers gave the Lumpy Waters Syposium, which offered expert instruction in a variety of conditions and across all skill levels, rave reveiws. The third annual event was held Oct. 14-16 in Pacific City, as well as in some neighboring communities.

Working the waves

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun PACIFIC CITY — Nearly 100 kayakers of all skill levels put their skills to the test and learned some new ones, too, during Alder Creek Kayak and Canoe’s third annual Lumpy Water Symposium, held Oct 1416 in Pacific City and beyond.

By all account the mood was positive, the weather good to great and the experience one that catapulted each paddler into a new level of kayaking. All told, paddlers participated in more than 30 classes ranging from rolling lessons in Cape Kiwanda RV Marketplace’s indoor pool to stroke and boat control techniques in the protected waters of Nestucca Bay, from long and short boat surfing in the surf off Cape Kiwanda to all-day excursions to Three Arch Rocks and Cape Lookout..

“It was really well run and the instructors were excellent,” said Pacific City resident Roy Hansen.

He said that amongst his favorite classes was “Fun and Feedback,” in which instructors teach the different skills necessary to go in and out through the surf.

“You get exposed to all skill levels and a chance to observe and talk to paddlers with world-class experience.”

Hansen’s impression was echoed by fellow resident and participant Nanci Sheeran, a former school principal who moved here this summer.

“I really built some confidence up in my abilities,” she said. “They were very encouraging and very open. It was a fun weekend for kayakers to get together, learn and share their expertise and stories.”

Though she has paddled recreationally for more than 20 years, Sheeran said the symposium was the first time she’d tackled rough water.

“They had a really good venue of activities that help you feel a lot more confident being in the waves. Being safe was the first priority but also having fun and getting in and out of the

waves. I really built some confidence up in my abilities.”

Those visiting from outside the area came away equally impressed.

“I love coming to Pacific City and Alder Creek does an amazing job,” said longtime kayaker John Schlesinger, of Coos Bay, who has participated at all three symposiums.

“The experience is always great,” he said. “The focus is on gaining experience, learning and sharing your experience with other paddlers. We don’t just learn from instructors — we learn from each other. Everyone has something to share.”

At Lumpy Waters, even when things don’t go right, the experience is right on.

During a Friday longboat surfing session in Netarts several paddlers found themselves capsized and drawn out toward the mouth of Netarts Bay. But Schlesinger, who was a part of the group, had nothing but good to say about the way Lumpy Waters instructors handled the emergency.

“It worked out good,” he said. “The incident was handled very well on the water.” “(Pacific City) is just a great place to paddle,” added Hansen. “There’s probably not many palaces around with this variety of conditions to paddle in. I feel really fort to live here and have this all available.”

FISHING & OUTDOORS

Holiday Kickoff!

Begin the Holiday Season with a Winetasting and Ornament Signing

Sat, Nov. 5

CHINOOK like this beauty are now being caught in tidewater in the Nestucca River.

Ornament Signing

Know before you go

with Margaret Furlong, artist and designer of porcelain angel ornaments and jewelry

By PAT GEFRE for the Sun All attention currently is focused back in tidewater as far as fishing for and catching fall chinook salmon. A week and a half ago, however, we had a blast of rain that raised the Nestucca River nearly 10 inches. What followed for the next three days was a parade of coho and chinooks that had been holding in tidewater, shooting up the Nestucca River.

Short lived but nonetheless exciting — for those that were able to put in a drift boat and fish the lower river, fishing was excellent. Both chinooks and coho were being caught in abundance.

Coho were rolling everywhere, though illegal to retain in the river, they provided some spirited fishing for the river rowers and some bank anglers at the mouth of Three Rivers.

There were some issues to be sure — many fishermen do not know the difference between a chinook and a coho and, as a result, some fishermen were issued citations for retaining illegal coho.

I can’t stress enough that fishermen have to school themselves in identifying species. There is just no excuse for being out fishing and not knowing the rules or not being able to correctly identify fish species. I get cell phone calls all the time from fishermen on the river wanting to know what the limits are or if they can keep the fish that they are holding in the net. In my way of thinking, the time to acquaint yourself with the rules is before you go fishing, not after you have one in the net.

The coho season fishermen were given this year is the first in nearly 20 years and is experimental — if we blow it by ignorance and misidentifying species, we may not get another chance.

It is up to each individual fisherman to be responsible for their actions. Just because a salmon is large does not make it a chinook, which was exactly the excuse one fisherman used when asked to explain why he was in possession of a coho caught in the river. The number one way to tell a coho from a chinook is the gum line directly under the teeth. A coho’s gum line will be white under the teeth, while in a chinook, the gum line under the teeth is solid black. There are a number of other ways to tell — most experienced fishermen can tell at a glance whether it’s a coho or chinook. Some of the other less obvious ways to distinguish a coho are located on the tail. On a coho, the shape of the tail has a little bit of a V-shape, while a chinook’s tail is straight up and down. The fin rays of the

tail on a coho are raised or ribbed while the chinook rays are flat and not raised.

Lastly, coho normally only have spots on the top tail lobe, where a chinook most often has spots on both the top and bottom lobes.

Tidewater fishing went dead for a couple of days during the rains. Now that the rains are gone and the river levels have receded, salmon are again stacking up in tidewater. The Beachy Bridge, the point at Bob Straub Park and the Guardrail Hole are the most often used bank fishing locations.

Pitching spinners has been very effective all season, as has bobber fishing with sand shrimp or eggs. Just to be different let’s focus on spinners. Spinner fishermen know no bounds, with the types, shapes, and colors of spinners they use. They can vary almost as much as the fishermen using them. All seem to work! Some fishermen swear by the blue-tip Colorado spinner in size six and seven that have been used by local fishermen in Nestucca tidewater for as long as some can remember. This is an unweighted spinner and requires an in line weight suitable for casting. And why not? For many years these spinners have been a steady producer in tidewater, and are called the Emery Harry, named after the local fisherman who pioneered this particular color pattern. Here at the shop, we make the Emery Harry’s pattern and a whole host of other colors in the same style blade. Fishermen tell us all the time that different colors are good to have as some days salmon want blue tips and other days they are biting on green or chartruse.

Still. there are many other forms of spinners that are just as effective. Vibraxweighted spinners in size five or six, or the large rooster tails in ½ and ¾ ounce (in any shade of green is my preference) or Winchester Bay (Perry’s) spinners, also a local product, in ¾ or 1 ounce all have their place in the arsenal. This year something new being produced by some of the local tackle makers is a spinner with a small Hoochie behind the blade.

This new type of spinner has been all the rage recently and has ardent fishermen swearing by them. Myself, I like almost any spinner, anything with any form of the color green. Others believe that putting a black spot on the center of the blade is the secret to their success.

Still differing opinions credit various scent products as their secret weapon.

It becomes obvious to me that spinners in general work quite well —otherwise there just wouldn’t be so many folks using so many different varieties successfully.

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun PACIFIC CITY — Looking for a chance to let your hair down? Strut your stuff at Pacific City’s take on the craziness that is Mardi Gras at “The Home of the Dory Fleet’s” adios to the summer season when Sportsman’s Pub-n-Grub once again hosts the Hooker’s Ball, Saturday, Oct. 29.

The event, which welcomes partiers from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m., is now in its 25th year. It has become an attraction to much more than Pacific City-area revelers as valley partiers from as far away as Eugene and Portland and beyond make a point of reserving the Saturday closest to Halloween for the celebration.

“It’s the last hurrah of the summer season,” said Sportsman’s owner Rob Royster. “It’s a dress-up party where people like to let it all hang out before the rainy season hits.”

Though the official hours are 9 p.m. to 2 a.m., Royster says the pub will be decorated and ready for a bit of costume fun as early

GRATEFUL BREAD, 34805 BROOTEN ROAD, Pacific City. 503-965-7337. Enjjoy a breakfast and lunch menu that includes vegetarian specialities, bakery breads, pastries, homemade soups, fresh seafood, wine, beer and espresso in the Grateful Bread’s bright and cheery atmosphere. The restaurant also offers catering services, as well as a growing wholesale baked goods department. Stop in for a fresh meal Thursday through Monday, beginning at 8 a.m. or drive through their espresso window as early as 6:30 a.m.

as 6 p.m. Food will be available throughout the night and the pub will be serving a spaghetti special.

“From young to old, people always have a good time,” said Royster.

But the event is more than an excuse to party down this Halloween. Royster has also turned the event into an important fundraiser.

This year, Sportsman’s Pub-n-Grub will split a portion of the proceeds between the Nestucca Valley School District and the school’s senior “SAFE” class party. Admission is $15 for individuals and $25 for couples.

As a homage to the individuals most willing to let it all hang out, the Sportsman’s hands out prizes for the best dressed couple, best dressed man and best dressed woman. Judging will occur throughout the night with awards scheduled to be handed out at midnight.

“People come from near and

far to participate in it,” said Dick Carter, who served as contest judge in the early years. “It’s a lot of fun and there are always good prizes. It’s all in the model of fun. I wouldn’t miss it.”

Throughout the event, the reveling will roll on with the assistance of DJ Jamie Dixon, who promises to spin selections that will appeal to all different musical tastes. A light show will also liven up the celebration inside.

“It’s a cocktail party and great fun for everybody,” said Dixon about the upcoming celebration.

“I’m (there to) make sure everybody has a good time.”

To make the event just as safe for the ride home, Royster is picking up the tab for the cab ride home or to area hotels. The cab service will be provided by Pacific City Cab. A $5 tip is suggested.

It was the place people called for weather, fishing and news of locals as it had the only pay phone at the time. Things haven’t changed much — today the Sportsman’s is still a favorite meeting spot for locals and visitors alike. Although now food is a great attraction with locally caught fish from Sea Q Fish featuring dory fresh lingcod and sea bass prepared at the Sportsman’s is being hailed as the best fish and chips anywhere.

THE NESTUCCA BOBCATS bounced back from a disappointing home loss to the Knappa Loggers with a decisive 3-0 (25-15, 25-22, 2624) victory against Delphian on Oct. 20. The ‘Cats previously saw their two-game win streak snapped when they faced the Knappa Loggers at home on Oct. 18, losing 3-2 (25-18, 20-25, 25-19, 18-25, 15-19). Head Coach John Elder said it was a case of evenly matched teams battling it out — Nestuccca previously had beaten the Loggers on the road. There were bright spots in the Knappa loss, however.

Brittany Hurliman had a dominant game with 22 kills and 11 blocks and Mariah DeVos had a 32-for-32 serving game with two aces. Jessica Elder also had a good night, with 13 hits and four kills. Elder said a couple of controversial plays in the deciding fifth game gave the momentum to the Loggers.

In previous action, Nestucca prevailed at both Gaston (3-2) and Riverdale 3-0. The ‘Cats conclude their regular season play Monday, Oct. 24 at home vs. the Neah-Kah-Nie Pirates.

It’ll be a Slam Dunk!
