Nestucca Youth Football representatives Patrick Connelly and Don Harrison accepted $3,600 from the Siletz Tribal Contribution Fund on Aug. 5. The funds will go towards purchasing new helmets for third- through sixth-grade student athletes.

LINCOLN CITY — The Nestucca football program has yet to take its first snap of the season, but that didn’t keep Nestucca Youth Football from scoring a winning drive on Aug. 5!

The program, which gives thirdthrough sixth-grade students a chance to get an early start at the sport, was one of 25 organizations that got a shot in the arm thanks to the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund as it netted $3,600 during the quarterly donations. In total, the tribe distributed $92,226.40 to non-profit organizations, bringing their overall Charitable Contribution Fund total to more than $6.8 million since its inception in 2001.

Overall, the Tribe has distributed more than $8.9 million through the charitable fund and other Tribal resources. In addition, Chinook Winds has donated more than $2.2 million in cash and fund-raising items since it opened in 1995. The casino also provides in-kind donations of convention space for various fund-raisers as well as technical support, advertising and manpower for many events.

Selection committee chair Mike Holden said that Nestucca’s program fit perfectly into what he personally looks for when deciding amongst the 80-100 applications the committee sifts through each quarter. He said that he was impressed with the way the program has achieved a high level of success and is one that is long lasting and sustainable.

Mickey Hays, who helped start the youth program about 15 years ago, says that the contribution will mean

Page 2 • Pacific City Sun • August 26, 2011

increased safety for the kids. They are purchasing state-of-the-art air helmets designed to better protect athletes.

“Without the grant, there is no way we could replace the helmets,” he said.

“We appreciate everything that Chinook Winds has done for us.”

Hays said the youth program is a vital one for the continued success of Nestucca’s high school program.

“We’re working closely with the high school this year,” he said. “We’re starting to run a version of the high school offense — that way, these kids are already set up and don’t have to learn everything all over again (when they get to the high school level). It really assists in making our high school team better.”

Youngsters interested in getting involved in this year’s youth program can contact Hays at 503-930-7656. Though the program costs students $85 to enter, there are fundraising opportunities to lessen the blow — including an upcoming car wash on Sept. 3 and 4 during which students can sell $5 tickets to those seeking a shinier automobile.

The fundraiser will be held at Nestucca Rural Fire’s Pacific City station.

The next deadline to submit applications to the fund is Sept. 1. Eligibility for money from the charitable fund is limited to two categories. Entities and activities must be either located in the Siletz Tribe’s 11-county service area of Lincoln, Tillamook, Linn, Lane, Benton, Polk, Yamhill, Marion, Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas counties, or be Native American entities and activities located anywhere in the United States.

Applications and requirements can be obtained at www.ctsi.nsn.us/ charitable-contribution-fund; from Kelley Ellis at 800-922-1399, ext. 1227, or 541-444-8227; or by mail at Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund, P.O. Box 549, Siletz, OR 97380-0549. Applications can also be submitted via e-mail at stccf@live.com.

Mental abuse is also domestic violence I led a fairly sheltered life until I was 16 and witnessed the abuse of a close friend by her husband. I learned that the mental abuse was just as damaging as the physical, and that the damage can take many years to heal. If someone is hurting you, it’s not your fault. It’s never okay. All of us need to take a stand against domestic violence.

Now STOCKING OCEAN TACKLE!

There is great news on several fronts for fall chinook fishermen! To start with we can celebrate for Rhoades Pond because they just received word that their application for an R& E grant equaling $75,000 was approved Aug. 6.

In order to renew their license and continue to operate Rhoades Pond, many improvements needed to be made to the existing facility. Nestucca Anglers has been working, for the past year, on a community partnership and with ODFW to accomplish their goal of continued operation. Community support was forth coming to the tune of about $15,000 coming from many different segments of the fishing and business community. That support helped convince the R & E board that we as a community really are standing behind the effort to improve the health of the Nestucca River system and salmon fishing as an economic importance to all who live here.

Ron Rehn from ODFW made a very good and flawless presentation supporting the work at Rhoades Pond to the R & E board and Terry Learned, of Pacific City, flew back from Alaska to testify as to the importance of Rhoades Pond to the health of the salmon runs and its importance to the fishing community. Terry has been an R & E board member for many years and just recently stepped down from his position on the board.

Thank you Ron Rehn, Terry Learned, Nestucca Anglers, the Dorymen’s association, and the supporting cast from our community that made the project possible. Work should begin soon on the intake and outflow portions of the pond and next year the plastic liner will be replaced with a permanent concrete liner. These improvements will bring Rhoades Pond into compliance with new standards and allow for continued operation.

In other salmon news, the Columbia River is expecting a huge run of fall chinook. ODFW predicts this run somewhere in the neighborhood of 760,600 fish, in

Page 4 • Pacific City Sun • August 26, 2011

addition estimated coho stocks of 362,500 ads up to a great fall season. What this tells me is that the ocean is being kind to our salmon runs recently and should start translating to better runs on the Nestucca River. That would be welcomed as the last few years have been fairly meager here. ODFW is expecting some improvement on the Nestucca as the bag limits and fishing areas have gone back to what was considered normal, before last year’s special concerns regulations. According to the 2011 regulations for fall chinook, the Nestucca River will open Sept. 16 from the Cloverdale Bridge, to 1st Bridge. It will be closed above 1st bridge. Bag limits will be 2 adult Chinook salmon per day, only one of which can be a wild Chinook .

Special ocean regs for coho will start Sept. 1st . We will get an extended season.

There is the possibility that part of the missed quota from the first ocean Coho season may get rolled into the new season.

I just spoke with ODFW this afternoon and the new coho season will be 10 days starting Sept. 1 and running through Sept.

10.

It’s time once again for the annual “Big Chinook “contest at Nestucca Valley Sporting Goods in Hebo. Rules for the contest may be viewed either at the store or at the website www.Nestuccariveroutfitters.com. You must be registered in the contest before you catch your big fish.

First-place prize will be a $300 shopping spree at the sporting goods store in Hebo, second-place prize will be a $150 shopping spree and third place will be a $75 shopping spree. Don’t wait — I can’t tell you how many times what would have been “the big fish” was caught by a fisherman not in the contest. The last couple of years the big fish haven’t been very big.

Salmon less than 38 pounds have won the contest each of the last two years. We know there were many 40-plus pound fish caught even some 50 pounders every year. Come on folks let’s get in the contest and show what a really big fish looks like!

I’m hoping to see a 50 pounder win it this year and who couldn’t use $300 worth of new gear!

Recreation plans gain support from TLW

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun PACIFIC CITY — Tillamook Lightwave Board of Directors told the Nestucca Valley Community Alliance on Aug. 25 that their group had come to the consensus that they would be willing to enter into long-term lease agreements with NVCA for recreational and community uses of key areas of its five-plus acre parcel and a revocable license for another portion.

TLW is an intergovernmental agency that is working to provide affordable broadband telecommunication services through public/private partnerships to Tillamook County. Their acreage at 33396 Cape Kiwanda Drive features a cable landing station that is being leased to the University of Washington for their role in the National Science Foundation-funded Ocean Observatories Initiative (see related story, page 3). NVCA is a community group interested in developing public uses at this site and others throughout Tillamook County.

Because TLW does not need much of the surrounding vacant land for the cable landing station, they have been speaking with NVCA for several months about leasing unneeded portions for the good of the community.

In response to this, NVCA drafted a conceptual site plan in a first step effort to negotiate areas that could be dedicated to community use. Amongst the conceptual plans is an interpretive, cultural and education center, a multi-use recreation area with covered playground, an outdoor amphitheater, a picnic pavillion with exercise circuit, a sports field, an interpretive center for a planned BLM trailhead, and parking. They also hope to erect a structure to house water rescue equipment for the Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District.

TLW Chair Paul Levesque said that they would be willing to do long-term leases for all but the area currently designated for shared parking, a second access to the proposed BLM trailhead and future NVCA development. For that area, TLW is proposing a revocable license so that they can reclaim that property with appropriate notice should they need to expand in that direction.

As for the other areas, though they are willing to negotiate long-term, low-cost leases, they will likely need to reserve more of the open area, which will limit the scope of some of the hoped for community uses.

Levesque said this is necessary because TLW envisions building a second building that could house an additional cable landing tenant at some point in the future. Just how much more property they will reserve for themselves, though, remains an unknown quantity.

Levesque said it would depend on the orientation of the building and the required setbacks. He pledged to work in concert with both the NVCA and a licensed surveyor to reach a mutually beneficial agreement.

“These are details I think we can work out as we drill down into the final design issues,” said Levesque.

“Once we (determine) what Tillamook Lightwave requires, we will be as efficient as possible in consolidating our uses on that property so that the easterly line is as tight (less intrusive into the area NVCA hopes to develop) as we can get it. I like to think we’ve made some good progress.”

“I really appreciate you allowing us any use of that property,” said NVCA board member Rob Royster, echoing other board members’ thanks for TLW’s willingness to offer up portions of the parcel to public use. “It’s a neat piece of property and it’s the last piece of property that’s down near the Cape that could be used to some community use. It’s kind of a win-win from my point of view.”

Chamber seeks vols for 2012 board

Paddle into the past

PACIFIC CITY — The Pacific CityNestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce is seeking nominations for its 2012 Board of Directors, including officer positions of president, vice president and secretary.

Volunteers have between now and the Chamber’s Nov. 1 general membership meeting to sign-up. The new directors will be announced at the group’s banquet in the first week of December. The exact date is to be determined. Interested individuals can contact current President Jeremy Strober at 503-965-0088.

Duties of president include acting as executive officer of the organization, as well as presiding at all membership and board of director meetings. The vice president assumes presidential duties when that person isn’t present and also may serve as a chairperson of one of the standing committees.

“While we are looking for interested people to fill these upcoming vacancies next year, we want them to join the board now so they have some knowledge of the chamber’s workings going into next year,” said Strober. “(As) a working board, you’re expected to help move forward the initiatives of the chamber, but we also understand that most of the volunteers on the board are working professionals that have to balance volunteer time with their job.”

The Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce has served the community for more than 50 years including its years before its merger with the Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce in 2003. For more information on the Chamber, its annual events and a list of members, visit www.pacificcity.com.

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun PACIFIC CITY — Time machines may be the work of science fiction, but don’t tell that to kayakers itching to paddle their way to the Nestucca River’s rich cultural heritage.

With Bobby Mercier of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde leading the way on Wednesday, Aug. 31, paddlers will have the chance to paddle along with the traditional canoe of the Tribes and learn about the importance of the Nestucca during days gone by during the third of a summer-long series of “On-the-Water Speaker Series” paddling trips organized by the Tillamook Estuaries Partnership. Light refreshments will be served during the trip, which departs at noon from Tillamook County’s Pacific City boat launch just north of Bob Straub State Park. Complimentary parking passes will be provided by Tillamook County Parks.

The series is part of TEP’s effort to research for a planned water trail map to the Nestucca and Sandlake estuaries.

TEP received notice they will receive a $34,000 grant from the Oregon State Parks Recreational Trails Program on Aug. 15. The monies will cover the bulk of the water trails map budget of $45,100. TEP will pick up much of the remainder, but they’ve also received commitments from TLC Credit Union and the Bureau of Land Management, whose $1,300 donation will go towards aquatic invasive education.

The trip is one of four remaining in the series. Though each speaker scheduled by TEP will provide valuable knowledge, the free paddles are officially not guided trips. Paddlers will need to supply their own kayaks (or other non-motorized boat), gear, invasive species permit, water and snacks. The trips are designed for experienced kayakers.

The adventures into the waters of the Nestucca will continue on Friday, Sept. 2 when a trip from Hebo to Cloverdale will make waves starting at 10 a.m. After meeting at 10 a.m. at the Three Rivers boat launch, water warriors will be treated to a tour featuring a talk by Alex Phillips, bicycle and water recreation coordinator for the Oregon Parks & Recreation Department.

Philips will discuss the Oregon Scenic Waterways found locally on the Nestucca River between McGuire Dam

Flex your muscles TILLAMOOK — The OSU Extension Service in Tillamook will offer the “Strong Women Program,” a strength training program for middle-aged and older women, Sept. 16 to Nov. 30, 2011.

The program runs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, with a 45-minute session at 7:45 a.m. and repeated at noon.

The 1:30 p.m. class is held on Mondays and Fridays. Classes are held at the OSU Extension Service meeting room in Tillamook, 2204 Fourth Street. Registration is required one week prior to the program. There is a $25 registration fee.

All new participants must attend the mandatory orientation on Wednesday, Sept. 14 at 11 a.m.

Women over age 70 or those with other chronic health conditions must obtain a release from their medical provider before beginning. Registration packets are available at the OSU Extension Service, 2204 Fourth Street in Tillamook or by calling 503-842-3433.

KAYAKERS will have four opportunites to hit the water between Aug. 31 and Sept. 17 as part of Tillamook Estuary Partnership’s “On the Water” Speaker Series.

She will also delve into an update on the other water trails throughout the state. Philips says that because non-motorized boat usage is on the rise, now is a great time to educate those floating the waters of our state on proper etiquette.

But the experience, she says, will be as much for her as it is for the paddlers. She’ll use the opportunity to hear from TEP what they’re doing and from attendees what they want in water trails.

“The maps used (and created)

by TEP are looked at (throughout the state) as a really great template for how to do them,” she said. “I want to learn from the actual users of the water trail.

It will be neat to get feedback from them.”

Yet another perspective will be at hand during a Sept. 11 trip from Cloverdale to Pacific City. Paddlers will meet at 10 a.m. at the Cloverdale boat launch when they’ll embark on a paddle where they’ll learn from the Oregon Ocean Paddling Society, as well the Nestucca-Neskowin-Sandlake Watershed Council.

OOPS program coordinator Joanne Barta will share information about OOPS while council coordinator Alex Sifford will highlight activities of the Watershed Council.

A mainstay of Oregon’s paddling scene for more than 30 years, OOPS

was founded with the idea that paddling with a few friends is better than going it alone. It quickly morphed into much more. Today OOPS runs paddling trips every weekend, offers no- to low-cost classes, an extensive book and DVD library, gear rentals and more.

“Our mission is about having fun paddling our rivers, lakes and oceans,” said Barta. “Safety is really important to us — we provide trips and paddles for all levels of paddlers.”

For his part, Sifford will point out the various cultural uses of this stretch of the Nestucca, as well as highlighting wildlife and birds seen along the way.

He’ll also share about the work that’s been done along the river to improve the habitat, as well as the role that the Watershed Council plays.

“It’s a chance to see riparian plantings done by fellow agencies,” he said.

“I’m also hoping to generate interest with new audiences for the council.”

“It’ll be just a fun day of paddling and learning about that area and the work people are doing to be good stewards of our waterways,” Barta said.

The final stop on the “On the Water” series will be Saturday, Sept. 17 for the Sand Lake Estuary Paddle. The trip commences at 2:30 p.m. at the Whalen Island Boat Launch. Watch for the Sept.

Workers recently completed a restoration at Farmer Creek that officials from the U.S. Forest Service and Nestucca-NeskowinSandlake Watershed Council hope will improve salmon habitat at this spawning waterway that is a tribuatary to the Nestucca River.

Restoring a key habitat

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun HEBO — Workers recently strategically installed 64 logs in seven sites along nearly one mile of Farmer Creek, a tributary to the Nestucca River that officials say offers important salmon habitat.

Work for the $12,000 project, a joint venture of the Nestucca-NeskowinSandlake Watershed Council and the U.S. Forest Service, was done during a three-day stretch, Aug. 15-17. Funds predominantly came from a grant awarded to the Watershed Council from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board, as well as monies and in-kind work from the Tillamook Estuaries Partnership, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program.

Council Coordinator Alex Sifford said that while there is a healthy salmon run at the creek, there’s a lack of rearing habitat because of the lack of woody debris. “(Placing the trees) improves habitat for salmon and other fish by helping retaining sediment during high flows like floods,” he said. “During a high

flow event, they help to provide retention by holding the gravels back.

And in low times of year, they’ll also provide shade and cover for the fish.”

U.S. Forest Service fish biologist Jason Wilcox added that the placed logs are expected to improve summer rearing habitat and provide a deeper pool cover.

“That will be beneficial in both the winter and the summer,” he said.

“We really have the need to be able to retain and provide for a better spawning grounds for the adults come October or November when we start to have the adult salmon return.”

Sifford added that one of the elements of the project that he is encouraged by is the inclusion of both public and private parties. The work was done on both U.S. Forest Service Property, as well as on land owned by Stimpson Lumber.

Though the work required some

More than 20 children gathered at South Tillamook County Library in Pacific City on Aug. 16 for an end of the Summer Reading Program party. The children listened to stories, enjoyed ice cream and took turns swinging at a piñata crafted by teen volunteer Maggie Mick (at left). Those who read at least 10 hours over the summer also received a book, a certificate and a t-shirt for their efforts. A total of 69 students registered for the Summer Reading Program with 47 completing it as of Aug. 20. The Teen Program had 25 sign-ups and 20 completions. Librarian Theresa Roberts (at right) said a steady group of 15-20 children attended the weekly programs that included visitors from Micronesia who performed a Guam hand and song hula dance and a stick dance from Yap, local artist Gary Burman sharing his Irish bagpipe and flutes and Sam Becerra from Eugene bringing his handmade ancient flute replicas.

The 2011 Blowsion Surf Slam will be a showcase for top Freeriders on Tierra del Mar’s surf, Sept. 9-11 PACIFIC CITY — The world’s greatest Watercraft Freeriders and Racers are descending once again to the ocean beaches of Pacific City, Sept. 9-11, for this year’s top US personal water craft surf event, which combines the second round of the IFWA Freeride World Championship Tour with the IJSBA Freeride World Cup and Motosurf Western Championship.

The Surfslam is held at the Tierra Del Mar Beach access located just north of Pacific City and is free to the public.

The Blowsion Surf Slam brings more than 40 Pro riders from around the world competing for a cash purse and points towards the IFWA World title and competing for the 3rd Annual IJSBA Freeride World Cup. Joining them, say organizers, “will be some of the best PWC racers in the world who will display high speed turns through a grueling buoy course all while being challenged by the Pacific Coast’s always unpredictable waves.”

Returning this year to compete will be UK Pro Ski Champion Jordan Fielder as well as Pro Freeriders Ross Champion, Marc Sickerling and current IFWA World Champion Pierre Maixent from France.

Pro and Amatuer Freeride competitors will compete in a head-to-head double elimination format. A panel of professional judges will score them 50 percent for their wave surfing and 50 percent for their aerial maneuvers. The

2011 IFWA World Tour has three international rounds — France (http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/vmxgames), the US (BlowsionSurfslam.com), and Brazil (jetwaves.com.br).

The IJSBA, in its support for the IFWA, will award the winner of this round with the IJSBA Freeride World Cup. The Oregon Pacific Coast surf is known for boosting freeriders more than 20 feet in the air where they perform surf combinations featuring multiple rotation backflips, Madonna rolls, Superman backflips, inverted barrel rolls, floaters, look backs, aerial re-entries and no handed landings.

Spectators will also bear witness, say organizers, to “intense personal watercraft racing” with the IJSBA MotoSurf Invitational. The top 20 Pro, Pro Am and Amateur wave racers in the country will battle it out in this challenging Oregon shoreline break. Racers will compete in a multi-moto format of several laps through a buoy course requiring a balance of maintaining high speeds while making split second strategic maneuvers around buoys and other racers while

Firing up the grill!

By DEE MOORE for the Sun HEBO — Is there a better way to say “see ya” to summer than with a community-wide party? Hebo Christian Church and the many residents that take part in their annual Labor Day barbecue sure can’t think of one!

The church will once again roll out the grills and inflate a bounce house for an annual event that regularly draws more than 300 people every Labor Day. This year’s goodbye to summer vacation and hello to the back-to-school grind will unwind from noon to 3 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 5 at the church’s grounds located at 31350 Highway 101 S., Hebo.

With face painting, spin art, a bouncy house, music and various games for children and teens as well as free food on the menu, the event is a mecca for end-ofsummer fun.

This year’s grub will include hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad, baked beans, chips, cold drinks, snow cones and watermelon.

Additionally the church hands out school supplies and new backpacks to area kids in need. Though Hebo Christian now partners with the Tools For Schools program, Pastor Lonny Moeller’s wife Crystal, who works in the church office, says the church has been giving out supplies since long before the program began.

“The community itself is getting really involved,” she said.

Each year local businesses donate everything from food to tents to the event as well as supplies for the youngsters.

“We had 350-400 served and we provided supplies for about 130 kids last year,” she said.

Organizers expect the event and the need to have increased by 10 percent this

year thanks to the recession.

“We are honored and humbled to be able to provide for our community,” Mueller said.

Donors this year include Hebo Market, Hebo Bar and Grill and Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District. Mueller said last-minute donations are expected and will be happily received.

Currently they are short on backpacks and anyone capable of donating is encouraged to drop by the church either before or during the picnic with as many as they can afford to give.

No one is turned away. While the Tools For Schools program, which is a county-wide effort overseen by the Tillamook Commission on Families and Children, requires parents to fill out and turn in an application in advance for supplies, if parents show up with the applications in hand they will receive supplies.

They must reside in the area.

They are asked to fill these out because the applications are used to determine the need in the county and how much funding is needed for the program next year.

“It helps with the funding,” Mueller said. The applications are available at: Tillamook County Commission on Children & Families, 801 Ivy Ave., Suite B, Tillamook; Department of Human Services, 4670 Third St., Tillamook; NCRD – 36155 Ninth St., Nehalem; Commission on Children & Families - 2410 Fifth St., Tillamook ; TLC Credit Union,1510 Third St, Tillamook ; CARE, Inc., 2310 First St., Suite 2, Tillamook; Salvation Army, 2105 Fourth St., Tillamook; Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 2411 Fifth Street, Tillamook; NVSD #101, 36925 Hwy 101S, Cloverdale; Hebo Christian Center – 31350 Hwy 101 S, Hebo; and Rinehart Clinic, 230 Rowe St., Wheeler.

A ‘Noble’ cause

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun CLOVERDALE — Your chance for everything from a night on the town to a whole week of relaxation and fun awaits!

Cloverdale Pharmacy, 34385 Highway 101 S., will be the site of a Sept.

6 fundraising raffle drawing for four Portland Trailblazer tickets, box seats to a Broadway stage production of Shrek and a one-week vacation in Shorepine Village. Tickets are $20 each or three for $50 and are available at Cloverdale Pharmacy, Pelican Pub & Brewery, Sportsman’s Pub-n-Grub, and the Market Pub in Neskowin.

The row seven Blazer game tickets, donated by Oregon Coast Bank, will sit you plenty close to the action, while the Shrek performance promises a night on the town in Portland. And the Shorepine vacation, a package worth more than $1,300, is all inclusive. Donated by Nestucca Ridge Development, available weeks ore Oct. 20-27 and Nov. 4-11.

It’s all in an effort to raise funds for the development of Noble Wayside, a future downtown Cloverdale park that will feature restrooms, a handicap accessible fishing dock, off-street parking, picnic benches and a walking trail.

The site has been on the county’s radar since 2007, when Tillamook County first entered into a series of purchase agreements with property owner Glenn Brassfield. Two of his three properties were purchased by the county in April 2007 and a third in April 2009. All told, the county paid Brassfield $167,800

which included monies set aside for site clean-up required by DEQ. Including the property they already owned, the county now owns a 194-foot riverfront stretch along Highway 101 on the north end of downtown Cloverdale.

The dream of a rest stop for Cloverdale has been floated around by the better part of a decade by concerned citizens and business owners like Cloverdale Pharmacy owner John Griggs, who has donated in excess of $5,000 towards the project, as well as teaming with Frank Brawner to sell four picnic benches crafted by area high school students at $1,500 each for a net profit of approximately $4,500. While many other community and business leaders have chipped in with in-kind donations — including Waylon Porter and Dick Warren Trucking— they are still far short of the estimated $75,000-$80,000 it will take to complete the project.

That financial figure picture may change, however, if the Tillamook County Transportation Department gets their way. The agency is investigating a Federal Flex Fund grant that they could become eligible for if bus stop is added to the rest stop. Transportation general manager Matt Mumford said the grant only requires a 10 percent match and that in-kind donations will likely qualify providing work is completed after the grant is procured. The grant is designed to fund transit improvements including bike and pedestrian needs.

“The wayside is perfect,” said Mumford. “They’re (grant officials) going to love this. It should be a shoe-in.”

Going the distance

By DEE MOORE for the Sun CLOVERDALE — Cross country running takes a special kind of athlete.

These runners go the distance, no pun intended, especially in Oregon.

The runners are judged individually and as a team.

Last season the Nestucca Valley High School boys team made it to state, according to John Elder, Nestucca Valley Senior School athletic director .

“I know the boys team went to state last year as a team for the first time in a decade,” Elder said.

“They hope to return, with loads of experienced runners like Cody Aalsma, Cody Roos, Nick Ahn, and Isaac Higdon,” he said.

Unfortunately, a key team member won’t be returning this year.

“Case Roos, number two runner from last year, is injured and will not run this season,” Elder said.

But this isn’t quelling the optimism that the coaches feel. They are preparing for a winning season with the state championship as their goal.

Coaching girls cross country is Misty Wharton, Elder said.

“For the girls, Emma Higdon is a returner from last year, they are hoping to get more girls to have a full team,” Elder said.

At this time none of the lineups are set in stone and the coaches are still smoothing out the rough edges and looking for people to fill in the empty slots. It will take time and practice to build a winning team.

“I doubt if anyone has a completed roster, still a lot of kids coming and going,” Elder said.

Experienced core to lead net attack

By DEE MOORE for the Sun CLOVERDALE — Nestucca Senior High School Lady Cats are ready to show that they are winners. Coming back this year from last year’s division win, the team and its coach hope to do that and more this season — winning the state playoffs is their goal!

John Elder, the school’s athletic director and volleyball coach, is confident this year’s team has what it takes to win.

Having coached winning teams in the past, he knows what it takes.

“We won our Division in the Northwest League, 2A, Division 1, last year to qualify for the state playoffs and that will be our goal again this year,” he said.

Last year’s team went to playoffs but succumbed to eventual state champions Weston McEwen. Only time and determination will tell if Weston McEwen will hang on to that title with the Lady Cats close on their tail and hungry for a win.

The team is starting strong with many experienced players returning to represent a solid unit ready for the challenges of a new season. But there are challenges and a lot of work ahead

as there is every year and Elder knows this and is ready to prepare his team for victory.

While he has experienced players returning, he also has new team members who are green and lacking experience who will be filling the open positions.

Elder will be spending a bit of time on developmental coaching using drills to strengthen each players skills, old and new alike, as well as developing and refining the teams strategy over the course of pre-season practices.

“It will probably take some time to work into a cohesive team with so many

new starters, but we are working hard in practice so far,” he said confidently.

Returning starters from last year’s state playoff team include Jasmine Boisa Libero and 2nd Team All-League Middle Hitter Brittany Hurliman. They will be leading other experienced players as this year’s team includes many familiar faces as well.

Elder said that amongst the players with varsity experience will be a pair of setters, junior Jodi Green and sophomore Mariah Devos. Others with varsity experience include Jessica Elder, Rebecca Windle, Natasha Helsing and Lacy Boisa.
