Getting the drop on the Cape! By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun PACIFIC CITY — Here’s one group that may keep falling down, but don’t worry, they get back up — way up — again! The 9th annual Pacific City Beach Boogie, a collection of 60-some skydivers, will once again descend on the beach south of Cape Kiwanda Sept. 16-18. The event is a chance for a group of longtime jumpers — many of which have a long history with each other — to reconnect. “It’s a reunion more than anything,” said organizer and part-time Pacific City resident Rick Liston, who’s been jumping out of sky-high planes for the last 20 years. “It’s an experience like nothing else,” said Liston. “It’s a chance to get together and reminisce about old times.” The lure of Pacific City to skydivers is like no other spot in the region. Because of the proximity of the airport to the beach, the logistics for a “boogie” is picture perfect. Each year, “Skydive! Toledo,” located halfway between Portland and Tacoma, Wash., brings virtually all of their instructors as well as a couple of planes to help provide logistical support for the three-days of beach landings. A helicopter will also be on duty. “Our focus is on providing a fun opportunity for our regular customers to come out and skydive,” said Mike Gauger, owner of Skydive! Toledo. “It’s a treat to land on the beach.” “The view is incredible,” added Liston, “plus of all the airports on the (Oregon) coast, Pacific City is the only one with an airport in town. You have everything within walking distance.” But this event, he says, isn’t just for those who live in the drop zone. Just watching the event is a favorite pastime of many. Liston said it’s not unusual to see people packing a picnic lunch and heading towards the beach just west of Pacific Avenue where the drop zone will be. “It’s a great spectator sport,” he said. And even if you have zero experience jumping out of an airplane, the Pacific City Beach Boogie doesn’t have

Taking a dive! A group of approximately 60 skydivers will descend on Pacific City’s beach near Pacific Avenue Sept. 16-18 for the Pacific City Beach Boogie, an annual reunion of experienced jumpers put on by part-time Pacific residents Rick and Sonni Liston with the help of Skydive! Toledo. While solo jumping is reserved for this experienced crew, event promoters are inviting the public to take advantage of scenic helo rides and tandem jumps. to be a passive experience for you. Scenic helicopter rides will be offered for $60 and up and tandem jumps for $250. “For someone who just wants to experience a skydive, there’s no better place in the world to do it than Pacific City,” said Liston.

Those interested in either the rides or the jump can report to the manifesto center, which will be located under a canopy just west of the airport. For more information on the Pacific City Beach Boogie, visit www.skydivetoledo.com or follow them on their Facebook page.

Blazing a trail to recreation PCJWA to host a Sept. 20 meeting on BLM proposal By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun PACIFIC CITY — Representatives from the Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority will lead a community discussion on Sept. 20 to discuss a draft management plan that they have submitted to the Bureau of Land Management as part of their proposal for a Recreational & Public Purposes lease for a 77-acre BLM tract in Pacific City. The meeting will start at 6 p.m. at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Drive. Located east of Cape Kiwanda Drive behind Tillamook County’s Webb Park and Tillamook Light Wave’s cable landing station, the property features treed land that PCJWSA sees as a potential site for expansion, as well as for public use. In the current draft plan, PCJWSA is proposing to split the acreage roughly in half — reserving approximately 35 acres for their own future uses, which could someday include a relocation of the Authority’s water reservoir. The remainder
of the property would be developed for recreational use. Authority Manager Tony Owen said that the draft currently calls for an approximate one-mile trail through the property. It would be accessed via TLW’s property, who is giving the Nestucca Valley Community Alliance permission to use part of their land for community uses. As it now stands, part of the cable landing station property would be set aside for parking and public access for the proposed trailhead. PCJWSA board member Carolyn McVicker, who will facilitate the discussion, said that the proposed trail will take hikers from an elevation of about 25 feet to 110 feet above sea level where they imagine lookouts that would feature ocean views to the west and valley views to the east. “There could also be some spurs that potentially hook up with (adjacent) Forest Service land that’s north of it,” she said. “There’s public land there that could be connected with over the years.” Both Owen and McVicker said that they hope to get public input on their proposal at the meeting so they can respond to any community concerns or ideas. Representatives from BLM will also be present. For more information, call Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority at 503-965-6636.

A master of the classics
PACIFIC CITY — From his lush tone and deep articulate interpretations of the classic guitar to his mesmerizing stage presence, Portland guitarist David Franzen has wowed audiences throughout the world. And he’ll bring his award-winning talents to Pacific City on Saturday, Sept. 17 during a 7:30 p.m. performance at Nestucca Valley Presbyterian Church. A presentation of the Pacific City Arts Association, Franzen’s concert will include works by Bach, Barrios, Ravel, Brahms, Piazzolla, Abeniz, and others. He will be assisted by Portland guitarist Kristen Waligora. “It is always a special treat to be able to listen to and watch him play,” said Jill Becker, community liason for the concert and former PCAA board member. “One can sit mesmerized for hours — a truly transcending experience and one not to be missed.” Tours have taken Franzen throughout Italy, Germany, and the United States. And in January 2011, he joined master guitarist Angel Romero to perform the Madrigal double guitar concerto with the Columbia Symphony. He has been honored with numerous awards — in l992, he was the winner of the Northwest Guitar Festival Competition, and in 1993 was a semifinalist in the Guitar Foundation of America International Solo Guitar Competition in Merida, Mexico. “I love the intimacy of the classical guitar,” says Franzen. “It has a very special voice than can express things that few other instruments can.” An accomplished soloist, Waligora is a two-time first prize winner and fourtime finalist in the OMEA Oregon State Solo Competition as well as a finalist in the Northwest Solo Guitar Competition, where she competed with guitarists from across the Northwest and Canada. Also active as a chamber musician, Waligora has premiered many new works with a variety of groups including a performance in the world premiere of the opera Buck Jones on May 1, 2006, with a guitar part written especially for her. She also performed as a soloist with tenor Oliver Mercer on the opening night of the 2002 Bel Canto Northwest Festival and was a featured soloist with the Willamette Men’s Master Chorus under maestro Dr. Paul Klemme. In May 1999, she performed as head soloist with the PSU Guitar Orchestra in the world premiere of Bryan Johanson’s Concerto Grosso and performed the first guitar part in the world premiere of his Little Suite for Guitar Orchestra and Toccata for Guitar Orchestra. Highly sought after as a performer, Soundboard magazine described Franzen as “a powerful player with confidence on stage. Having noticed his forthright and excellent musicianship, it was surprising to find him somewhat shy and retiring in person after the recital.” Franzen was guest soloist with the Siberian Chamber Orchestra led by Alexei Ludmilin conducting the Vivaldi Concerto for Guitar and strings. In September 2001, he joined the Oregon Symphony Orchestra in a concert where original Latin songs were performed in a collaborative concert given by “Pepe and the Bottle Blondes” and the Oregon Symphony.

Tickets for the 7:30 p.m. performance are available at Rowboat Gallery and the Pacific City Inn. In 1991, Franzen collaborated with legendary guitar pedagogue Aaron Shearer of the North Carolina School of the Arts in the music interpretation section of the method book series, “Learning the Classical Guitar.” As an active chamber musician, Franzen is also a member of The Oregon Guitar Quartet. David Franzen has taught at Oregon State University, Pacific University, and Marylhurst University and is currently a member of the music faculty at Portland State University where he teaches private lessons and ensemble classes. Tickets to Franzen’s Sept. 17 concert at Nestucca Valley Presbyterian Church, 35305 Brooten Road, are $15 and may be reserved or purchased in advance at the Pacific City Inn, 35280 Brooten Road (503-965-6464), or from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. at the Rowboat Gallery, 34950 Brooten Road (503-965-4590).

Domestic violence hurts communities In Tillamook County, the strength of our communities depends on our ability to work together and support each other. At times, one’s very survival may depend on the help of a neighbor. However, violence in any form undermines those human relationships. That’s why domestic violence not only hurts families, it also weakens the entire community. Any one of us would not hesitate to rescue a neighbor from floodwaters. In the same way, we owe it to our community and our neighbors to help bring an end to domestic violence. – Shirley Kalkhoven

Laboring for the community
Rockin’ for peace
By DEE MOORE for the Sun HEBO — What would a Tillamook County Labor Day be without the annual picnic at Hebo Christian Church? Volunteers grilled up dogs and burgers, served homemade potato salad and baked beans and offered ice cold watermelon and drinks to famished masses of people on Sept. 5. The balls were bouncing all over in the inflatable bouncy house, which managed to stay packed full of smaller kids. Meanwhile, the larger kids and teens waited impatiently for a chance to run against the tether in the bungee bounce, joust with friends and prevail against the obstacle course. Backpacks full of school supplies were also handed out to children in need. Some 300 people dropped by the church for a bite to eat and more than 130 kids received supplies. The event was made possible by numerous donors including Hebo Bar and Grill, Hebo Market, the Nestucca Valley Fire Protection District, the Nestucca Firefighter’s Association, Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce, Baumgartner Auto Repair, T & L Septic, Nestucca Valley Recycling-Garbage Services, Healing Waters Church of God, Sysco and PepsiCo.

Many of the students from the Nestucca Valley School District turned out for the Hebo Christian Church’s annual Labor Day barbecue for one last hurrah before school started the next day. If the burgers and dogs didn’t bring them running, then the watermelon did. Below, at left, two boys play at jousting like medieval knights of old. In addition to the jousting arena the church had an inflatable bouncy house, an obstacle course and a bungee run for the children and sold drinks and eats for all. The church also operates a pick up site for the Tools For School program and handed out backpacks full of school supplies during the event. Below, at right, Patty Stellflug, of Hebo, paints a child’s faces at the event.

It’s a ‘long’ story! Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic will return Sept. 24-25 for 13th annual battle with the waves By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun PACIFIC CITY — Wetsuits, wax and waves are the ingredients for a weekend of non-stop action and family fun when top surfers from up and down the coast take turns battling the surf at the Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic, which returns to the “Home of the Dory Fleet,” Sept. 24-25. For the 13th annual event, the competition has been moved from its traditional early August date to a September showcase. “The hope is that as we push the date more towards fall, the waves will be a little bit bigger and the weather nicer,” said organizer Jeff Mollencop, owner of Moment Surf Company. “It also helps the local community. After Labor Day, (families) are back to school. It’s a way to draw more business into the local community after the season starts slowing down.” The three days of contest-related activities starts on Friday, Sept. 23 when a registration party will take over the south part of Tillamook County’s Cape Kiwanda parking lot. From 5-10 p.m., registrants can partake in a Hawaiian-style pig roast, beer garden and live music. The public is invited, too. Dinner will be provided at no cost to contestants and for $10 to family, friends and anyone interested in a good time and great grub. Children can dine for $5. Competition begins Saturday, Sept. 24 starting at 8 a.m. Contestants will take turns catching waves in 20-minute heats and will be judged on size and quality of wave selection, length of ride, and maneuvers completed while riding the wave. Competition will run until 5 p.m. Sunday’s heats will run 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., followed by an awards ceremony. To make it friendly to surfers and spectators alike, the Classic will feature another round of eats and entertainment on Saturday, starting by 1 p.m. with live music and a beer garden hosted by Pelican Pub & Brewery. Also on Saturday will be a vendor section featuring a variety of surfing products.

SURFERS will take to the waters off Pacific City Sept. 24-25 for the 13th annual Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic. Competition runs 8 a.m.-5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 24 and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 25, followed by an awards presentation. The event also features a pig roast, beer garden and live music. Proceeds from the contest will be donated to the Nestucca Surf Team, which, when fully formed, will reach out to to area youngsters to teach them the sport. For more information, visit www.capekiwandalongboardclassic.com. Those looking to try their luck can purchase tickets for one of two raffles at the contest’s booth. Tickets for a raffle featuring a Rob Russo donated surfboard, wetsuit, boots and surf lessons will be $5, while entries to the second raffle, $1 each, offer purchasers a chance at surfing-related product donated by various manufacturers. Raffle tickets are also available in advance of the event at Moment Surf Co., 33260 Cape Kiwanda Drive, Pacific City. Proceeds from the raffle, as well as event registration fees, will go towards forming the Nestucca Surf Team. Pelican Pub & Brewery has also pledged to donate a portion of their profits from the beer garden to the team. The club, which is still in the beginning stages of formation, has a goal of teaching the sport to the upcoming generation. Cape Kiwanda is amongst the few select spots to learn the sport. The surfing scene in Pacific City has a long history, but has grown in recent years thanks

to advancements in cold water gear designed for the water conditions off of the Oregon Coast. “It’s really exploded in the last five to eight years,” said Mollencop. “People come here because it’s so accessible.” He added that because of the size of the surfing area, there are generally waves for all skill levels — from beginner to advanced surfers. Community support has been key to making this year’s event one to remember. Though Mollencop said he is particularly thankful for title sponsor Oregon Coast Bank’s help, the support by no means has stopped there. “The amount of support we’ve gotten is really mind-blowing,” he said. “It’s humbling on how much the community enjoys this event. It’s a tradition in Pacific City and people want to be a part of it.” For more information on the contest or to register, visit www.capekiwandalongboardclassic.com.

PACIFIC CITY — There are few spots more scenic then the beach that stretches from Cape Kiwanda to Nestucca Spit, but there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy this revered stretch of paradise. And if your idea of fun is to cover some distance with a group of like-minded friends, there aren’t many things that can compete with lacing up the running shoes and going for a beach run. On Sunday, Sept. 18, runners and walkers of all ages will have the chance to enjoy the last slice of summer and a bit of exercise, too, as the Cedar Creek Beach Challenge returns for an encore. The second annual event will feature a 5K run/walk, a 10K race and a half-mile kids run. Race time is 9 a.m. and starts on the beach near Pelican Pub & Brewery, 33180 Cape Kiwanda Drive. “You couldn’t ask for a more beautiful and scenic race to run,” said organizer Jennie Seals. “It’s something out of the ordinary. It’s not your typical go pound the pavement run.” Last year, participants found the run to be a great motivator and fun race to boot. For the inaugural event in 2010, Pacific City resident Sean Lambert used the event as incentive to get back into running. A year later, Lambert has run 10 road races and is currently training for the Portland Marathon. “I hadn’t been exercising in forever,” he recalls. “I used the run as a starting point for getting back into running.” He added that the thing he enjoyed most at last year’s event was the scenic beauty of the beach. As a fundraiser for Cedar Creek Childcare Center, the run will do more than fuel the competitive spirit of
those going for a jaunt on the beach. Seals, who serves as board chair at the non-profit center, said events like this are critical pieces in making childcare affordable to the families that need it. “It’s a wonderful cause to support,” said Seals. “It’s a wonderful facility with wonderful teachers.” She said that with today’s hard financial times, many families are being forced to cut back on childcare. “With fundraising, hopefully we can offer more scholarships to get kids enrolled that need to be there. This run tries to support keeping (Cedar Creek) going so that the young people in the county can get a good start in life.” The center offers programs for six-week-old infants to 12-year-old children. Parents can enroll infants for $571.20 per month and three-year-olds and up for $523.95. They also offer hourly drop-in rates. “We feel we’re bridging the gap between family and schools and giving kids social skills and educational growth,” said director Rene Straessle. “We try to do everything we can to nurture the child and give them a valuable experience in life.” Cedar Creek’s Hebo facility features almost 7,000 square feet of learning space where they split kids up by age groups so each child gets age-appropriate help. Walkers and runners can pre-register for $25 for the 5K walk/run and 10K run through Sept. 11. Early registration for the kids’ run is $10. Visit www.pelicanbrewery.com to download the registration form. After Sept. 11, registration fees will be $30 for the 5K and 10K and $15 for the kids’ run. Organizers are accepting entries on race day. For those not ready to lace up their running shoes, organizer are offering a sponsorship program in which businesses can sponsor a child’s participation in the kids’ run for $50. The sponsorship includes a child’s entry, as well as a photo of the sponsored child and a signed thank you from the child, which they can post in their business. Their name will be featured on the entrant’s bib number. Another opportunity to get help Cedar Creek is by purchasing Dutch Mill bulbs, which can be ordered through Sept. 20. Call the center at 503-392-4449 for more information.

By PAT GEFRE for the Sun We just had the first chinook officially weighed for the “Big Fish Contest.” Not a giant, but it was the first salmon weighed. I’m thinking we will see a winning fish of 40 pounds or more this year. According to most projections for the runs this fall, there should be lots of four-year class fish. That means we could have many top 40 and even some 50-pounders turning up this year. So far, the salmon I have seen are very fat and broad shouldered, and it looks like the chinook salmon are eating very well in the ocean. The secondary ocean season for coho salmon, which was supposed to last through Sept. 10, didn’t. It closed Sept. 8. Wouldn’t you know, just when everyone was having some real fun, in come the fun police and whammo it’s over. Quota met, done deal! It wasn’t going to last much longer anyway, especially with the rough ocean the last couple of days, but it would have been nice to get out once more as I had planned. Seems as though there were many more coho to be caught than was expected. I can attest to that as I was invited to go fishing Tuesday, Sept. 6. It didn’t take long to fill limits. We actually lost more than we caught. For the life of me I don’t understand the barbless hook rule during the special season when you can keep wild and hatchery salmon. You’re not turning any back as it’s legal to keep all. Had it not been for the barbless hooks, we might have also put a nice chinook in the boat. Instead, it made a couple of quick head shakes and was off and running. At the beginning of the secondary season there was quite a bit of skepticism as to whether or not there would be many coho out there for harvest. Those thoughts were quickly put to rest with excellent catch rates for most everyone. Crabbing on the ocean has been spectacular as of late. The day I was invited to salmon fish, we placed three pots south of the rock. Three and a half hours later we picked up the pots. Fiftytwo legal-size crabs, and only four of us, so we had to return to the sea four crabs. I was just calculating in my head, 2.5 to 3 pounds on average per crab times 48 crabs equals roughly about 132 pounds of crabs. At retail store prices of $5.99 to 6.99 a pound, that’s roughly $790 to $922 worth of crabs depending on where you shop. What a fantastic place to live and to be able to harvest such spectacu-

lar treats! Those that complain about the price of licenses and tags are not weighing the value of their catch. The two spring chinook that I caught earlier this year, both more than 20 pounds, would have commanded about $400 had I purchased them. Well worth the price of the license — say nothing of the fun I had spending the days on the river. Even though there are times we all have issues with decisions about various fisheries, overall this is a pretty great state to live in if you’re an outdoorsman. The Nestucca River is still kicking out good numbers of summer steelhead. It takes a pontoon boat or a canoe to get down the river, but the rewards are there not only in summer steelhead but also in cutthroat trout. There have been lots of trout to catch in the river. One fisherman had an interesting take last week when he made a drift trip, fishing for summers. He returned to the shop later in the day and his only comment was “this was almost too easy.” He has fished three times in the last two weeks and managed to limit every time. There are not very many folks fishing for summers, too bad because there are summer steelhead throughout the entire river. Very early mornings and late evenings are the best times. Once the sun is fully on the river, fishing gets difficult. The shorter days have lowered the river temperatures — another contributing factor to more summer steelhead.

Dusty McGrorty, former tailback for the St. Louis Rams and Warrenton native, dropped by the Nestucca Valley Jr./Sr. High School for Nestucca Draft Night to talk to students, parents and faculty. The program was initiated to help the district raise funds for the equipment. McGrorty spoke about following his dreams about following dreams all the way to the pros and encouraged students to never give up on their dreams either.
Former NFL back punctuates Nestucca’s ‘Draft Night’ By DEE MOORE for the Sun CLOVERDALE — For parents and kids, the Nestucca Football draft was a once-in-a-lifetime event to meet a former pro football star, but for Dusty McGrorty, who was once a tailback for the St. Louis Rams, it was all about the kids and keeping the dream alive. McGrorty is an alumni of Warrenton High School. He knows what it means to be a small town kid with big time dreams. The event was held to raise funds for the pee wee football program, which needs new equipment. The helmets the kids wear are 30 years old and show their age. New pads and uniforms are needed as well. The funds will also replace some of the JV and varsity equipment, too. The former NFL player spoke directly to the youth encouraging them to never give up on their dreams, and speaking to the parent’s and coaches, he asked them to remember that their words can foster or crush a child’s dream. He recounted his own experiences from high school when his coach would tell him he was too small to play pro ball. McGrorty went on to attend Southern Oregon University where he was recently made a member of the school’s Hall of Fame. “As of induction, McGrorty owns 12 SOU records, including career rushing attempts (983), season rushing attempts (291), game rushing attempts (46), career rushing yards (5,414), career rushing touchdowns (75), career touchdowns (79), season touchdowns (25), career points (474), season points
(150) and game points (30). McGrorty also ranks second on the season rushing list (1,702), second for rushing yards in a game (303), third for game rushing average (11.9), fourth for career total offense (5,414) and fifth for career rushing average (5.5),” according to the SOU Raiders website. He also earned NAIA All-American honors in both 2002 and 2003, was named NAIA Player of the Week twice and earned NAIA Independent Player of the Week honors six times during his career. “McGrorty helped lead the Raiders to the NAIA Quarterfinals in both 2001 and 2002 and following his career, signed a free agent contract with the St. Louis Rams. In the Fall of 2004, McGrorty appeared in a game against the Miami Dolphins, marking the first time in school history that a former Raider had appeared in a regular season,” the website states. Dreams do come true and McGrorty is proof. And by sharing his story to the Nestucca youth, he hopes to keep the dreams of small kids alive too. As reported in the Aug. 26 issue of the Sun, the Nestucca football program received a $3,600 grant from the Siletz Tribe Charitable Contribution Fund with the program expected to raise $1,400 to match. A silent auction was part of the nights menu with items donated by local businesses and companies, given in an effort to get those matching funds. The event came up short — only $1,000 was raised — but items that were not auctioned off that night will be up for bid and can be viewed at football games for the rest of the season or until they are gone, said Connelly.
