TALKBACK PCJWSA defends its treatment plant upgrade Dear Pacific City Joint WaterSanitary Authority Customers, We have heard from many of you in recent months regarding the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) upgrade. We appreciate your support, encouragement, and feedback.

We realize that no one wants to see their water and sewer bill increase. However, we hope we can agree on the importance of clean water from the tap, and assurance that everything is properly processed once it goes down the drain – especially to maintain a healthy Nestucca River for generations to come.

PCJWSA is working diligently on the essential upgrade of the WWTP. This upgrade – which will improve the treatment process, make necessary structural replacements, and reduce operational man-hours – has been funded by a $1.95 million grant and $8.71 million in a low interest loan (2.24%) from the USDA Rural Development Program. Yes, this all amounts to a lot of money, but it simply must be done if we are to ensure the ongoing viability of our treatment system.

There are some who have objected to the upgrade, and PCJWSA has done everything in its power to consider their concerns and answer their questions. The WWTP upgrade represents a significant investment in our community’s future and we recognize that the associated cost is understandably not without its detractors. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but we ask that the resulting discussions be based on fact, and – particularly in a small, close-knit community such as ours – conducted with a respectful tone at all times.

Meanwhile, we have been working closely with Rural Development Program and DEQ engineers throughout the process. The project team of engineers at Parametrix, PCJWSA staff and the Board are all appreciative of their expertise and input – we are fortunate to have USDA and DEQ involved. The preliminary engineering report can be viewed online at www.pcjwsa.com, and site maps outlining proposed changes are available at our office (34005 Cape Kiwanda Drive).

Voters in the PCJWSA service area elected us to the Board to make decisions on your behalf regarding the management and future of the water and sewer infrastructure. We fully appreciate that some of our decisions may not be popular. However, we also believe we have done our due diligence in making the decisions associated with the WWTP upgrade. We will continue to do that to the best of our collective ability, assisted by qualified professionals in a variety of fields. We will do our best to meet our customers’ expectations in the most pragmatic, cost-effective way possible.

As always, PCJWSA customers are welcome to contact us by calling 503-965-6636; or by emailing Authority Manager Tony Owen at towen@ pcjwsa.com or Executive Assistant Michelle Hughes at mhughes@ pcjwsa.com.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we implement

these necessary system improvements. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with any additional questions.

Sincerely, The PCJWSA Board of Directors: Carolyn McVicker, Chair; Anne Price, Vice Chair; Sean Lambert, Secretary; Sean Carlton, Director; Kayla Long, Director

Inside the

Solving the litter problem

Citizen group targets upgrade to sewer plant PCJWSA is in the beginning stages of a massive wastewater plant upgrade, which will cost the Pacific City ratepayers a great deal of money over many years. The Department of Agriculture has approved a 10.6 million loan (and a $1.9 million grant) for this upgrade, and ratepayers must repay the loan. It is therefore in our interest to ask if so large an upgrade is necessary, since we will pay for it.

Will it solve the identified problems?

PCJWSA has not responded to our request that they consider paying for a peer review, by a qualified engineering firm, of the Parametrix preliminary engineering report. It is “best practices” to contract for a peer review for any large-scale project that will place great demands on a local community -- as this proposed upgrade will. This upgrade has many moving parts and requires sensitive equipment and great operator expertise. It is a prime example of a project in need of peer review. Since there are many questions about the assumptions underlying the report’s conclusions, a peer review is all the more urgently needed.

Concerned residents have formed a Citizen’s Oversight Committee in order to work with PCJWSA on some of these issues, including modifying the proposed upgrade to fit our communities needs better.

The Committee has offered several times to collaborate with PCJWSA to better use its data to size the upgrade, including volunteering time to accurately measure the system’s flow.

PCJWSA management and the Board have not responded to any offers of collaboration.

PCJWSA is a public agency; its staff is paid with public monies, its Board members are elected officials.

Among the most disturbing things to local residents, the ratepayers, is that PCJWSA is not transparent to public needs. The agency makes it difficult to get basic public information such as Board minutes, the final engineering report, the facilities plan or the methodology for calculating Systems Development Charges – all of which are public documents that should be readily available to all who ask. In addition, neither Board nor staff have indicated any interest in collaboration with the Committee or any concerned residents to build a better upgrade than the one currently proposed. We sincerely hope this can change in an effort to protect the Nestucca River and keep Pacific City a livable and affordable community.

Chamber

Spotlight

Excitement builds over upcoming Visitor Center

By VERNE MOBLEY Chamber President

Our Chamber held a great meeting on Feb. 23 with a big crowd to discuss possible incorporation of Pacific City. Our Doug Olson put together a very informative evening with many folks in favor and some not. It was agreed to have another meeting this fall for more discussions. It was agreed by the majority of attendees to have a meeting this April to talk about finding ways to have 2 or 3 new deputies for our South County areas. April 18th at Kiawanda Community Center is the date.

County to fund $1.3 million in TLT projects

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun A variety of tourism-related projects will get funded over the next two years thanks to a proposal by Commissioner Bill Baertlein that the Tillamook County Board of Commissioners passed 3-0 on Wednesday, March 16 during a special meeting held to consider recommendations for the second round of grant applications funded by the countywide Transient Lodging Tax. Though the available money had been only $350,000, as it turns out, $1.324 million worth of projects will be funded. The reason for the increase is twofold. First, because of an increase in funds collected over the 2015-16 budgeted amount, there was $644,894 of available funds for the grant program as of Feb. 29.

Secondly, Baertlein proposed dedicating not only the funds available this year but those anticipated in the 2016-17 fiscal year, which begins July 1, noting that many of the projects will not need funds right away.

The proposal will fund 13 of the 17 proposed projects, following the Tourism Advisory Committee’s priority rankings, including a 2,000 square foot addition for Pacific City’s Kiawanda Community Center, which the TAC had earlier ranked the highest out of all the applicants. Other South Tillamook County projects that will be funded will be the Nestucca Valley Community Alliance’s 60-space parking lot that will eventually serve a community park near Cape Kiwanda, the Kiwanda Beach Access Improvement that will widen the vehicle ramp to the beach and add a pedestrian walkway, and the Cloverdale Wayside that will feature both a north and southbound bus stop/shelter, as well as parking for nine vehicles, a restroom and related landscaping on the south side of Highway 101 in downtown Cloverdale.

Other Tillamook County projects that will receive funding in the next two years include an event center tent for the Port of Garibaldi, a kitchen upgrade for the City of Rockaway Beach’s civic center, an educational pavilion for the Tillamook Forest Center, Carnahan Boat Dock for the City of Tillamook, an ADA bathroom for TAPA, a bike and skate park for the City of Tillamook, salary for a project manager for the Salmonberry Trail, a new caboose roof for the Rockaway Beach Chamber of Commerce, and Salmonberry Trail Planning for the Tillamook Forest Heritage Trust. Four applicants will not receive funding: Tillamook Urban Renewal Agency’s application for Tillamook City Hall artwork, the City of Manzanita’s application for 1.6 miles of the Oregon Coast Trail, a parking lot for the North County

Recreation District, and a triple zip line for Twin Rocks Friends Camp.

In the TAC’s rankings, the $339,148 Kiawanda Community Center expansion scored the highest with an average of 65.89 out of a possible 70. Rounding out the top five were the Port of Garibaldi’s event center tent (62.33), the NVCA’s 60-space parking lot for their upcoming community park (57.33), the City of Rockaway’s kitchen upgrade (54.89), and Tillamook Forest Center’s educational pavilion (53.89). The Economic Development Council supported the rankings of the TAC, moving the recommendations forward to commissioners in their March 15 meeting.

“What I’m proposing is we take a chunk out of (the funding for these projects) this year — about $500,000... and take the rest out of the 16-17 budget,” Baertlein explained about his idea. “A lot of those funds are probably not going to be needed until later next year anyway. The plus side is we get all (but four of) these funded. It’s a chance to get it rolling. The downside is there wouldn’t be anything left — probably — for grants for next year.”

That said, he noted that his proposal holds back enough funds to both help with fairgrounds projects and for doing outreach for developing strategic plans throughout the county.

Though his project listed proposed amounts for each year and quantities to be distributed to the 13 applicants in each of those two years, Baertlein said that would be flexible depending on the needs of the individual projects. As his financial outline now stands, $533,523 would be distributed this year and $603,656 next year. He is proposing a budget of $250,000 for the fairgrounds and $50,000 for community outreach and strategic plan in the 2016-17 budget.

“I also support this effort and compliment you Bill,” said Commissioner Mark Labhart in echoing Commissioner Tim Josi’s support. “I think this is innovative thinking.”

Labhart did, however, say he felt bad that the applications from Tillamook Urban Renewal Agency, the City of Manzanita, the North Coast Recreation District and Twin Rocks Friends Camp did not get funded. “(It’s) just like any grant program,” he said. “There are winners and losers in every grant program that I’ve ever been involved in.”

Still, he said he was encouraged by those that will get TLT monies.

“We’re going to be spending $1.3 million of TLT money on some really good projects,” he said.

AARP to offer Smart Driver program at Nestucca High School AARP will offer it’s new “Smart Driver” program on Thursday, April 14 at Nestucca High School, 34660 Parkway Dr., Cloverdale. The class will be taught by Craig Leslie.

The class runs from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. with a 45-minute lunch break. To register, call TBCC at 503-842-8222 or 888-306-8222. Pre-registration is required and seating is limited.

The course includes current rules of the road, defensive driving techniques, and how motorists can operate their vehicle more safely in what AARP describes as today’s increasingly challenging driving environment. Drivers will learn adjustments to accommodate for common age related changes in vision, hearing and reaction time. Information on aggressive drivers, air bags, seat restraints and new technologies will also be provided.

The cost to cover materials is $15 for AARP members and $20 for non-members, payable at the start of class.

The course is designed for seniors 50 and older but anyone can attend.

For most, Oregon State Law provides for a discount on your auto insurance premium for completing this course. Attendance at the entire class is required to receive your certificate of completion.

If you have already taken this or a similar course, most insurance companies require that a refresher course be taken every three years to continue to receive the discount, or every two years if you are 70 or over.

CRASHING WAVES over Cape Kiwanda exhibited the strength of a heavy wind storm Sunday, March 13. A High Wind Warning, High Surf Advisory, and Marine Storm Warning were in effect until the evening and there were power outages in north Tillamook County. That storm followed a similar one only a few days earlier on Wednesday, March 9, which also boasted a Coastal Flood Watch courtesy of accompanying heavy rains. North County lost power in that storm, as well.

TCCC seeks board member applicants The Tillamook County Cultural Coalition, a local arm of the Oregon Cultural Trust, is now taking applications for members of its Board of Directors.

Citizen group to meet March 24 to discuss planned improvements to PCJWSA’s wastewater treatment plan A self-appointed Citizens’ Oversight Committee formed in response to concerns group members have with Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority’s planned wastewater treatment plant will hold a public meeting Thursday, March 24, 6:30-8:30 p.m. at Pacific Coast Bible Church, 35220 Brooten Rd., Pacific City.

According to Oversight Committee member Robin Kostrikin, the meetng “will address the most up-to-date concerns about the PCJWSA facility upgrade, the Parmetrix preliminary engineering report and other issues that relate to the daily operations of PCJWSA.”

CORRECTIONS&CLARIFICATIONS In “Dory Days Festival designated as an Oregon Heritage Commission tradition,” published in the March 4 issue of the Pacific City Sun, we incorrectly quoted Dave Larkins as saying that the application process to have Dory Days designated as an Oregon Heri-

Also, the presentation time for the Oregon Heritage award has been changed to Friday, July 15 at 5 p.m. at the Artisan Fair at the the fourway stop in Pacific City.

Solving the Litter Problem Volunteers to roll up their sleeves for SOLVE Spring Oregon Beach Cleanup on March 26

V

olunteers of all ages will join together on Saturday, March 26, for the 31st annual SOLVE Spring Oregon Beach Cleanup. Included in the 45 beach cleanup sites are four locations in South Tillamook County – in Pacific City (meet next to the Pelican Pub & Brewery), at Sand Lake (meets at the Sand Lake OHV Riding Area), and in the Neskowin area (one spot meeting at the Neskowin Trading Company and the other at the Wi-Ne-Ma Wayside.)

Presented by AAA, the effort to rid the entire Oregon Coast of litter and marine debris runs from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. from Astoria to Brookings. Volunteers can register at solveoregon.org or by calling 503-844-9571.

Last year, more than 5,100 Spring Oregon Beach Cleanup volunteers removed nearly 68,000 pounds of debris from the coast, pushing the cumulative total to 3.3 million pounds since the cleanup began in 1984. Started by local citizens Judie Hansen and Eleanor Dye, this coastwide volunteer cleanup model was the first in the nation, inspiring similar cleanups across the world. Locally, the cleanup has grown into what SOLVE describes as an iconic Oregon

tradition, uniting multiple generations of volunteers and keeping our beaches healthy for humans and wildlife alike.

“Oregon’s public beaches are unique to our state, providing the basis for many of the beloved cultural and recreational activities that contribute to our identity as Oregonians,” said Tim Morgan, president and CEO of AAA Oregon. “The coast is shared by all of us, and the Spring Oregon Beach Cleanup gives citizens the opportunity to join together to keep it clean and healthy.”

From the thousand-pound fishing net to the tiniest piece of plastic in the sand, litter and marine debris on Oregon’s coast is an issue that SOLVE says affects all of us, threatening the health of our environment, and impacting the economy. Every year, fish, shorebirds and other wildlife ingest and become entangled in discarded debris, and it’s preventable.

“The chance to walk in a quiet place and make it cleaner, safer, and more pristine is priceless,” said John Andersen, SOLVE beach captain in Netarts, “We have a duty to be stewards for all creatures that exist now or will exist in the future, and these annual

cleanups are a big part of the solution.”

Volunteers at this year’s event are encouraged to bring old colanders or kitty litter scoops to sift the tide lines for tiny plastic pieces, harmful to local wildlife. Bags and gloves are provided, but bringing reusable gloves and buckets is encouraged to reduce the amount of plastic waste.

Safety is the top priority, and volunteers are urged to keep an eye out for sneaker waves, stay off logs near the water, steer clear of sea lions, look out for signs and ropes limiting beach access around snowy plover nesting areas, and refrain from touching hazardous items like oil drums.

SOLVE is a statewide nonprofit organization that brings people together to improve our environment and build a legacy of stewardship. Over four decades, the organization has grown from a small, grassroots group to a national model for volunteer environmental action. Today, SOLVE mobilizes and trains tens of thousands of volunteers across Oregon to cleanup beaches and rivers, and restore watersheds. For more information, visit solvoregon.org.

A Game That’s Well Played Local Relay for Life team nests more than $1,000 during bunco fundraiser

By GRETCHEN AMMERMAN for the Sun

T

he Pelican Pub was a welcome refuge on a stormy night for participants in the March 11 bunco party put on by the Relay for Life fundraising team “Loony Tunes.” What is bunco? “It’s jut a simple dice game,” said team member Stephanie Welch, right before reading what sounded like a pretty complicated list of rules. “It makes sense once you start to play,” she added.

Simple or not, the players certainly seemed to be having a good time, and because the end of each round results in partner changes, there were lots of opportunities for new friends to be made among the mostly feigned rivalry.

Prize categories included Most Losses, won by Kathy Starostka, Most Wins, won by Alex Welch, Most Bunkos, won

by Cathy Whitaker, and Holder of the Dice, won by Jack O’Donnell, awarded to the last person to be holding a fuzzy die that was tossed to a person who rolled “bunco,” and seemed to be a favorite part of the game.

This was the third bunco party put on by the team and is one of the their most successful fundraising efforts. Last year they also put on the dog friendly “Beach Bark” run, and managed the movement of a purple potty that could only be relocated by a donation to RFL. “We will likely put on the race again this year,” Welch said. “We will also be

hosting garage sale tables at the Kiawanda Community Center, and putting on another bunco night. Our goal is to raise $3,000, which is what we were able to raise last year. Between raffle tickets and entry fees, we raised $1,010 at last week’s game, so we are well on our

way!”

The next bunco party will be thrown at the Pelican Pub on April 22.

Advanced tickets are recommended as seats are limited. Call Karen at 503-9657779, ext. 300 or Stephanie at 503-5399982.

GALLERY KICKOFF SAT APR 2 (3-7p) with FIASCO (free improv) refreshments

or up and coming wood sculpture artist Jay Ylvisaker, working with wood has always had appeal.

Though he followed his education at Pacific Northwest College of Art with a career in carpentry, he never stopped being an artist. And now at 54 he’s working hard to discover his voice as an artist, a voice that he is expressing through the creation of artistic altars, five of which are now on display at Rowboat Gallery.

Ylvisaker says he doesn’t see the altars as necessarily religious. Rather, he says this art form grew out of his love of architecture.

“Humans have had all these great times when they could pool their resources to glorify whatever form of religion they chose,” he says. “They had the ability to kind of pool a lot of energy toward making something beautiful and lasting. I really like those structures a lot because there’s energy put into them.”

He also points to the world around him as inspiration for his alter-themed sculptures.

“I get a lot of my inspiration from the natural world,” he says while noting that great architecture from the past has done the same. “A lot of the beautiful things from the Byzantine times and from cathedrals are really stylized natural forms. We get everything from

Page 12 • Pacific City SUN • March 18, 2016

nature and we turn it into beautiful forms. Altars bring up all kinds of images for me. It usually brings up a sense of safety, transcendence, being one with yourself, (and) kind of stepping outside the throng of humanity in a way — but being fully in it at the same time. ” Ylvisaker says his work is created in one of two ways. Either he pre-visualizes the project, draws it out, and drafts it, or he merely takes a look at a piece of wood and follows his inspiration. Of the two, he says the latter is his preferred method.

“It’s a little more challenging, but it’s really the way I want to explore more,” he says.

One of the key elements of much of his work is the departure from the normal.

“It takes you into a fantasy place in a way,” Ylvisaker says.

Though his full-time effort as an artist is but two years old, Ylvisaker has already won the attention of many interested art lovers. He also has gotten rave reviews on the perspective his pieces offer.

“A lot of people say: ‘I feel like I’m tiny, and I want to go in there and walk around.’ It just kind of brings you in.”

Located at 34590 Brooten Rd. in downtown Pacific City, Rowboat Gallery features artwork from both local and regional artists. Call 503-965-4590 or visit www.rowboatgallery.com for more information.

THOMAS GOODWIN GALLERY will host its official grand opening on Saturday, April 2 from 3-7 p.m. with live music by Fiasco and refreshments. The gallery is located at 34390 Highway 101 S, in Cloverdale. Call 503-329-8345 for more information.

A Gala at the Gallery Thomas Goodwin Gallery to fete its official opening with music, refreshments on Saturday, April 2

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

I

nnovative art and music will set the tone for an April 2 gala celebration feting the official opening of the Thomas Goodwin Gallery & Studio’s new space at 34390 Highway 101 South, Cloverdale.

Running from 3-7 p.m., the festivities will include the music of Fiasco, a Portland band known for their experimental sounds.

“If you come and pay attention, I think you will find your mind opening in some ways that it might not have before,” says gallery owner Thomas Goodwin.

Fiasco features the improvisational sounds of band members Jerry Soga (traditional instruments, some homemade), Tim Alexander (electronic instruments), Alejandro Ceballos Gatelum (keyboards and percussion), and Kyle Stant (electric bass). “(It’s) a collage of sound,” says Soga. “(Guests can) expect the unexpected. Our instrumentation is all over the place. (We play) traditional instruments to homemade stuff to electronics. Every time we play, it’s new. We don’t play set (practiced) pieces. It’s kind of a blend (with) free improvisation.”

Complimentary refreshments will also be served.

Goodwin’s Gallery originally opened in June 2013 across the street.

Since that time he sold the building — now been occupied by Burkhardt Gallery — and renovated the larger, riverfront space. The new space is the culmination of several months of work and marks yet another step forward for Cloverdale, which in the past year has seen a number of businesses bring life into the small town.

“The building has really nice space, lots of light and a view of the river,”

Goodwin says about his gallery’s new location. “You get the ambiance of the river flowing by and the cattle in the pasture on the other side. It’s a nice place to have art and a wonderful place to paint.”

Though Goodwin calls painting a challenging process, he says he does have an affinity for painting large.

“My body likes to do big paintings,” he says. “It just feels good to have that energy flowing from my brain to the canvas.”

Goodwin has “always” painted. His experience with the medium began when he took classes at the University of Oregon, Portland State University, and the Portland Art Museum School and his first show was in 1966. Although a real estate career ensued, Goodwin never stopped painting as his diverse collection attests to.

The art on display and for sale at the gallery represents his last two decades of work — paintings that he says capture both movement and feelings using “fairly” bright colors and shapes.

“Hopefully people will find the paintings interesting, intriguing and will enjoy looking at them and take them home,” he says.

In the end, though, it’s not just about the art to Goodwin, who said he hopes to hold community events at the gallery.

“I want it to be a community meeting place centered around art,” he says.

“I want to have a provocative, interesting and relaxing place to hang out. I’ve just loved this ambiance of the river running through the valley, and the people are really nice,” he says. “They give you lots of privacy yet they’re interested in what’s going on.”

The last time we talked it was winter! Now it’s like spring. We don’t care if it rains ‘cause it’s so beautiful when the sun comes out!!

Our Chamber-Lions sponsored trip for Nestucca Valley High School seniors to visit the legislature in Salem on Feb. 23rd again was successful. Lion Dorothy Gann, chairman for the event, “pulled all the right strings.” Perhaps the highlight of the trip was during our lunch hour when House Representative David Gomberg from Lincoln City came and visited with us nearly the whole time. Our students made it informative by asking so many good questions of Mr. Gomberg. He was very happy with our students, the Lions, and the high school staff.

John Elder, “teacher supreme,” told Dorothy that this is a great thing for our young adults and the school really appreciates ALL of the efforts of our Lions Club. Kinda’ makes it all worthwhile, Huh Lions?

Remember, our Easter egg hunt at the high school field March 26. Chairman Teresa Smith has us all lined up and ready for a great day rain or shine!

Lions Lea Traxler and Sandy Hanneman, our school calendar experts, are ready for us to make the calls for August deliveries. Why not all order two calendars this year!!? They make good presents! The more we sell, the more NVHS scholarships Lion Lori Whiteman and her other judges can have to give out.

She will pick up the applications May 16.

It is great to be a Lion. Call any Lion about membership. My number is 971-257-0200.

Rain, high water dampens Nestucca's steelhead season

By PAT GEFRE for the Sun

W

ithout a doubt this is the worst winter steelhead season for fishermen I have seen in many years. It’s not that there are low numbers of steelhead. In fact, I think as far as the numbers of fish in the system, this would be a very good year under different circumstances. The problem has been the incessant rains that just won’t quit long enough to let the fishery develop.

Under normal water conditions the Nestucca River would typically hover between 5.5 to 6.5 feet — that is the optimum river height that most feel comfortable fishing. There would be some days, after a storm, where the river would run up to 7, sometimes 8 feet, and then retreat. In the past, most of the guides would begin to fish the river at 6.8 feet. So far this season if you’re going to fish at all you start at 7.5 feet as the river has come under 7 feet only one time for just a couple of days.

The average height for the Nestucca has been 7 to 7.5 feet. When the rains hit hard the Nestucca will jump up to 9-10 feet. When it drops back down, 7 to 7.5 feet is the new norm. Give the river two to three days at 7.5 feet and it will clear up enough to be fishable. The trick is in learning where the fish are now holding.

With the river levels registering at higher levels than in years past, steelhead are holding in completely different places and the old familiar haunts aren’t so productive as they once were.

Only days on the river, some creative thinking, and putting in your time will start to give fishermen an idea of where the new holding spots are. Most steelhead are looking for a comfort zone, a place where they can hold, intercept food and not expend too much of their energy. At 7.3 to 7.5 feet, the river flow has changed dramatically, is moving

much more water and has definitely picked up in speed. Places where you used to be able to anchor up and fish are now too swift to anchor in. Chances are it wouldn’t make a difference as where steelhead used to hang out has changed.

The higher water has reduced the number of fishable days and the number of fishermen willing to chance the high water levels to less than 50 percent of last year. Everyone is complaining about trips cancelled, money lost, and soon the winter steelhead season will come to a close and looks to be a disappointing season in general. There will be steelhead available through April in the Nestucca River and all the North Coast streams for that matter. However, the majority of fishermen will soon move to the valley to fish the Willamette and Columbia Rivers for spring chinook salmon.

Looking forward, we have spring chinook coming soon to a North Coast river near you!

The season on the North Coast begins April 15. Not many salmon are available at the start of the season and it usually is about the 15th of May before enough springers are in the system to make spending time worth the effort.

Still, there are those that want to be the first to catch an early spring salmon so they will start to fish April 15. The concern, again, will be “what will the water conditions be like for spring fishing.”

Last spring was an extremely low water year and it was tough to get a boat down the Nestucca due to low water. Even though river levels are high now the weather has been so warm that there is little snow in our coastal mountains and unless the rains continue through spring there may not be much spring and summer rivers again. Keep your fingers crossed, with any luck at all maybe a good springer season will help make up for the lost winter steelhead season.

Arbor Day will be celebrated on the first week of April, an occasion that will herald the participation of more than 370 Tillamook County fourth-grade students who will do their part by planting a tree. The kids will become members of Fourth Grade Foresters. The project’s goal is to help revitalize what organizers term a remarkable idea — the observation of Arbor Day in America’s schools. Fourth graders at East Elementary, fourth and fifth graders from Garibaldi Elementary, third- and fourth-grade students from Neskowin Valley School, fourth and fifth graders at Nestucca Valley Elementary School, and Tillamook Adventist School in Tillamook County will receive trees to take home and plant.

“We are helping these students become stewards of their community by showing them that they can make a difference by simply planting and caring for a tree,” said Ray Monroe of the Tillamook County Soil and Water Conservation District.

like the Tillamook County Soil and Water Conservation District covered the cost of each of the individually packaged evergreen trees, so that there is no cost to the students, the teachers, or the school,” said Debra Ersch, cofounder of the Fourth Grade Foresters Project. “It’s a wonderful way to show support for the community, education and the environment.”

Fourth Grade Foresters USA was created to provide a simple and inexpensive way for any individual, business or organization to send the fourth-grade students at an elementary school home with a tree of their own to plant and care for. Each fourth grader receives an individually packaged 12- to 18-inch evergreen tree seedling packaged by workers with disabilities.

Organizers say tree planting is now even more important than ever as trees take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and clean the air we breathe. They hail planting trees as a simple, inexpensive and easy way to improve the community.
