On Our Cover:
The Tale of a Turtle
n early morning walk on the beach may be a part of Pacific City resident Tim Ebarb’s daily routine, but an encounter with a sea turtle? That’s never been on the agenda — at least not until the morning of Dec. 10. On his normal early morning stroll in the sand — this time during a stormy morning at Bob Straub State Park — Ebarb found an olive ridley sea turtle at about 7 a.m. on the same day as his son’s birthday. “I popped over a sand hill looking for floats when I saw the turtle,” Ebarb told the Sun. “She wasn’t moving so I tapped it with my foot. When I did that, she lifted her head.” He said that because the surf was rolling her all around, he took her out of the water and to higher ground “where she would be safer from birds and other wildlife that were eager to eat her.” Ebarb then sat with the turtle for more than two hours — protecting it all the while — during his wait for staff from the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife to arrive. ODFW subsequently turned the turtle over to the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport. For its part, the Aquarium has named the endangered turtle “Lightening,” a name chosen because of the coastal lightning and thunderstorm that coincided with her stranding. Olive ridley turtles from the Pacific coast of Mexico, where Lightning likely originated, are classified as endangered. It is believed that because of bad
storms, Lightening was pushed into the frigid temperatures of the Pacific Ocean, causing her to experience hypothermia. She also suffered damage to her eyes from a bird and an air bubble in her shell, which made it impossible for her to stay afloat. “If I hadn’t found her, she would have been on her way out,” Ebarb said. “I came around at the right time. A lot of people would have just walked away or maybe even tried to take her, but my first instinct was to get her help. I love wildlife. I’m glad I saved a life — that’s cool!” First housed in very shallow water, sleeping in as little as two inches overnight to ensure she could breathe if she fell into a deep sleep without the risk of drowning, she was moved to a 23-inch deep pool on Dec. 16. The move to deeper water signals the rehabilitators’ confidence in her strength, but also confirmed that she has an air bubble trapped in her shell — a common ailment for stranded sea turtles. The graduation marks a step forward in the turtle’s rehabilitation journey, and opens the dry triage tank for another patient, if needed. Lightning also recently passed another recovery milestone when she opened one of her eyes. Initially both eyes were swollen shut, and it appears at least one of her eyes is extremely damaged. “When turtles strand, opportunistic seabirds, hungry for an easy meal, sometimes peck at their soft tissue, which may have happened to Light-
ning’s right eye,” said Jim Burke, the Aquarium’s director of animal husbandry. The Aquarium’s staff hopes when Lightning’s left eye opens that it will be in better condition. “The benchmarks our veterinarians set for us are to confirm that she can eat, pass waste, and get her body temperature to 75 degrees. If she is successful with all three, then she is cleared from triage and ready to be moved to a longer-term rehabilitation facility that can offer her specialized care for her eyes,” said Evonne Mochon-Collura, assistant curator of fishes & invertebrates at the Aquarium. “We appreciate the assistance of Mr. Ebarb and the public for notifying us of any stranded turtle,” said Laura Todd, Newport Field Office supervisor for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. “Without the help of the public and the Oregon Coast Aquarium, Lightning and other sea turtles stranded on our beaches would perish.” The Oregon Coast Aquarium and Seattle Aquarium are the only rehabilitation facilities in the Pacific Northwest authorized to provide the specialized care sea turtles require. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service urges anyone who finds a sea turtle on the beach to contact the Oregon StatePolice Wildlife Hotline at 800-452-7888 to ensure appropriate transport and care of the animal. Pacific City Sun freelance reporter Shiana Weaver contributed to this report.

Solid Waste Dept. seeks public input for its management of Pacific City Transfer Station There’ll be a new boss of recycling in Pacific City at the start of 2016. The Tillamook County Solid Waste Department is taking over management of the Pacific City Transfer Station starting Jan. 1. Though they will be closed Jan. 1-2 for the holiday and to transition to new management, they will reopen Jan. 8. At least at the onset, hours and services will not change and it will remain open on Fridays and Saturdays, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. However, that doesn’t mean there won’t be a course correction in the future. The Solid Waste Department currently is asking area residents to complete an online survey in which they are seeking opinions on everything from where they take recycling to what days are most convenient for them to take items in for recycling. The survey can be completed electronically by visiting https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ GGW6XVT. Tillamook County Solid Waste will be conducting the survey through Jan. 31. First announced last October, the transition to new management follows a long run by Nestucca Valley
Sanitary Sanitary Service. NVSS has operated the facility for 30-plus years. As reported in the Oct. 16 edition of the Sun, Nestucca Valley Sanitary Service is thankful for the opportunity to run the transfer station for the last three decades. Meanwhile, NVSS will continue to offer their garbage collection service. “It has been our pleasure to provide the opportunity to recycle for south county residents and businesses for over 30 years,” Sandy Carbaugh, vice president of NVSS said in October. “In the interest of reevaluating and developing a countywide recycling/material management program, Nestucca Valley Sanitary Service will continue to be a team member of the ‘visioning process’ for the future, which will be led by the Tillamook County Solid Waste Department with the goal being to provide continuity in material handling throughout Tillamook County.” For more information on the transfer station, visit http://www. co.tillamook.or.us/gov/SolidWaste/ TransferStations.htm.

NEW YEAR’S EVE PARTY
Commercial dungeness crab season opens Jan. 4 Fresh Oregon Dungeness crab is back on the menu after fishery managers determined the fishery is ready to open Jan. 4 along the entire Oregon Coast. Fishery managers exercised an abundance of caution in opening the crab season this year due to unusual levels of domoic acid found in crabs along Oregon’s southern coast. The month-long delay in opening the season allowed for additional testing for domoic acid in order to provide confidence that crab harvested from Oregon waters are safe to consume and of excellent quality. “Along with the state agencies, the Oregon commercial dungeness crab industry has taken a very proactive and precautionary approach to the opening of this crab season in the interest of public safety,” says Caren Braby, ODFW marine resources program manager. Testing of crab in recent weeks show the elevated levels of domoic acid in the southern half of the state have decreased and are all below U.S. Food and Drug Administration alert
levels for three sample periods in a row. Based on these results and consultations with the Oregon Department of Agriculture, the Oregon commercial crab industry and Washington and California Departments of Fish and Wildlife, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is opening the ocean commercial Dungeness crab season along the entire Oregon coast just after the New Year, Jan 4. Commercial crab boat lights will start dotting the horizon Jan. 1 as boats are allowed to set gear three days prior to the fishery opening. The recreational harvest of Dungeness crab in Oregon’s bays and ocean is currently open coastwide. As the season gets underway, state agencies will continue to monitor marine biotoxins in shellfish to ensure that the concentrations remain below the alert level to ensure consumer safety. For more information about Oregon’s shellfish marine biotoxin monitoring, call ODA’s shellfish safety information hotline at 800-448-2474.

ourism is on the rise, the bank account is full, but who will manage it all? And how? That’ll be the topic of a Tillamook County Commissioner meeting on Monday, Jan. 4. The 1 p.m. workshop, which will be held at the Tillamook County Courthouse, will address the county’s Transient Lodging Tax, which has assessed a 10 percent tax to tourists visiting Tillamook County since January 2014. The effort is bringing in about $2 million per year, but it’s also harvesting its fair share of strife. Those differences of opinions were voiced to the public on Nov. 4 when Commissioner Bill Baertlein suggested taking a new course, which would bring the program under the management of the county rather than through the Economic Development Council. EDC currently has an intergovernmental agreement with the county for the operation of Visit Tillamook Coast, the county-wide tourism effort managed by Nan Devlin. At the November meeting, Baertlein said he’d like to see the county take over management of the grant program for tourism-related facilities and have the marketing and promotions portion be managed by a new not-for-profit under a three- to five-year agreement that would include measurable benchmarks. Since then, a proposal developed by Tourism Advisory Committee co-chair Justin Aufdermauer has been fine-tuned. It’s this plan that Baertlein intends to use as a framework for the Jan. 4 discussion. Aufdermauer presented his ideas to both the TAC and the EDC in December and both groups gave his ideas their support — with some reservations. Simply put, his proposal would split the tourism funds down the middle, handing control of tourism-related facility grants to the county while keeping half of the proceeds with the EDC, who would manage the marketing and promotions portion. Because of the requirement of allocating 70 percent to tourism (while 30 percent remains discretionary), that split equates to 35 percent for marketing and promotions, plus 35 percent for facilities. The remaining 30 percent (less administrative costs) would continue to go to Tillamook County roads, as commissioners committed to when the tax passed by a 2-1 margin in 2013. As part of his proposal, there would be two TACs — one that would be appointed by the EDC for marketing and promotions and the other by the county for infrastructure improvements. They would meet twice a year to “ensure cross communication to help both parties prioritize effectively.”
Aufermauer told the EDC that by having two committees, each would be able to leverage their own strengths. “You could probably target some of (each member’s) skills better,” he said. At their Dec. 15 meeting, EDC voted unanimously to support a motion by board member Connie Green. In that motion, the group said it believes it has done what the county has asked by implementing the Visit Tillamook Coast program and that it is working, but that it is willing to accept Aufdermauer’s proposal. In addition, the motion said the group would appoint the current TAC members for its own advisory committee for the marketing effort so long as those members are willing to serve in that capacity. As for Baertlein, he says he is generally supportive of Aufdermauer’s proposal. “I like what Justin’s done,” he said in a Dec. 22 interview with the Sun. “He’s put together a nice plan. Forming a marketing committee under EDC is probably a good deal for now. It’s a stepping stone.” He also supported the idea of the EDC bringing back the current TAC board for this marketing effort. Still, Baertlein would like to make some tweaks — including allocating a higher percentage of the funds to infrastructure improvements. He said he’d like to see 65 percent of the 70 percent reserved for tourism purposes to go towards infrastructure and the remaining 35 percent to marketing. That would equate to 24.5 percent out of the total going to marketing and 45.5 percent to tourist-related infrastructure improvements. As part of that, he recommended increasing the marketing side’s portion by 1 percent each year, as less would be needed for infrastructure as improvements to support the crowds are built or improved upon. “That percentage will be negotiated,” he said. “(I expect) it will be between 35 and 50 percent (for advertising) when we get done.” For the infrastructure program, Baertlein would like to see a strategic plan developed that would be derived from public meetings in each of the county’s areas — north, south and central. As part of that process, he hopes to identify two or three major needs in each area. A tourism-related infrastructure grant process would also be a part of that program moving forward, but it would be smaller than it has been. “(It’s about) how do we solve some of the issues that tourists bring that would still fall under the umbrella of tourismrelated facilities,” he said.

Wellness, It's Worth It Tillamook County's Year of Wellness to springboard its health conscious efforts with Jan. 2 kick-off events Nearly everyone wants good health, but doing something that will make it better, that’s another matter. Tillamook County is hoping to do something to change that attitude and has announced Tillamook’s 2016 Year of Wellness (YOW ). What this means for Tillamook County residents is a wealth of opportunities to get educated about health matters and to get motivated to make healthy choices. The YOW Challenge is a series of four online competitions with two competition categories —individual and group. Each competition will be 12 weeks long and points will be awarded for doing well in each of six categories – nutrition, tobacco use, sleep, water intake, physical activity,
and weekly challenges. Once a week participants can log in to www.tillamookcountyhealthmatters.org and estimate their daily participation in these categories. It is not necessary to be part of the competition in order to partake in the challenges. Three Year of Wellness kick-off events will take place on Saturday, Jan. 2, 1-3 p.m. The locations are Tillamook County Library, 1716 Third St., Tillamook; North County Library Branch, 571 Laneda, Manzanita; and South Tillamook County Library, 6200 Camp St., Pacific City. For more information, visit www. tillamookcountyhealthmatters.org or e-mail Connor Dixon at cdixon@ co.tillamook.or.us.

RESIDENTS eager for the start of the Christmas season gather around Pacific City’s Christmas tree on Saturday, Dec. 12 as Santa signals for the ceremonial first lighting of the tree.
A Season of Giving Crowd gathers for Pacific City’s Christmas tree lighting ceremony By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun Santa Claus came to town on Saturday, Dec. 12 when the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce hosted its annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony at the Shops of the Village in downtown Pacific City. Festivities started at 5:30 p.m. with children signing up for a gift drawing and indulging in refreshments prior to the Jolly Old Elf’s arriving along the center’s walkway 15 minutes later. After the ceremonial lighting of the tree, which Santa gave the signal for, the party moved inside the mall’s Kingfisher Room for more treats, a chance for the little ones to have their picture taken with Santa, and gift bags courtesy of the Chamber. The event wrapped up with a drawing for Christmas gifts for the youth in attendance.

THE SIXTH ANNUAL Oregon King Tides photo contest is a chance for shutterbugs to contribute photos of the Oregon Coast during the next extreme high tide. Above is a shot taken during a King Tide at Youngs Bay last year. For more information, visit www.oregonkingtides.com.
Capturing the Rising Sea Photographers sought to help record Dec. 23-25 King Tides The CoastWatch program, in partnership with Oregon Coastal Management Program and the Surfrider Foundation, invites the public to grab cameras and record the season’s final King Tide events, Dec. 23-25. For the sixth year, this annual project is sponsored by the CoastWatch Program of the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition, the Surfrider Foundation, and the Oregon Coastal Management Program. This is the Oregon branch of an international volunteer effort to record the year’s highest tides. The idea began in Australia, where such events are known as “King Tides,” hence the name. According to CoastWatch, documenting the highest reach of the tides tells us something about areas of the natural and built environments, which are subject to erosion and flooding now. Anyone capable of taking a photograph and able to get to the coast during the series of high tides is encouraged to help by taking shots anywhere on the coast at the highest point of the tide on those days. Photos can focus on any feature, but CoastWatch says that those that show the location of the tide in relation to the built environment (roads, seawalls, buildings) are especially useful in demonstrating impending threats. Subjects can be the outer coast, or estuaries and lower river valleys affected by tides. Organizers say the ideal photo would be taken from a location where the photographer can return later at an ordinary high tide to take a comparison shot. Photographers are also encouraged to focus on iconic or easily recognizable locations and areas where the high water is impacting infrastructure in order to effectively highlight the effects of rising sea levels. Participants will post photographs online through the King Tide Photo
Initiative website, www.oregonkingtides. net/ where project information and the online submission form can be accessed. Submissions should include the location, date, description, and direction of the photo. CoastWatch is making a special effort to organize photographers to document the reach of the King Tides in the vicinity of the new marine reserves (Cape Falcon, Cascade Head, Otter Rock, Cape Perpetua and Redfish Rocks). For more information about the technical aspects of the project, those interested can contact Andy Lanier, coastal resources specialist for the Oregon Coastal Management Program at 541934-0072, andy.lanier@state.or.us. At the conclusion of the project, three wrap-up celebrations will be held along the coast including a 5:30 p.m. event on Jan. 8 at Cannon Beach Community Hall featuring guest speaker John Bauer from the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries. Bauer has been compiling a photographic record of how King Tides affect estuaries and wetlands, using aerial photography — starting back while he was working for the Wetlands Conservancy. Local sponsor is the Haystack Rock Awareness Program. The other celebrations take place Jan. 15 in Lincoln County, and Jan. 22 in Coos County. Events will start at 5:30 p.m. and exact locations will be announced later. At these events, the best of the King Tide photos will be shown, photographers will be on hand to comment, and there will be a special speaker. The events will be free and open to all. Appetizers are provided with beverages and meals available for purchase at the venues. For information, contact Fawn Custer, CoastWatch volunteer coordinator, at 541-270-0027 or fawn@oregonshores.org.

PCJWSA moving forward with plans for revamped sewer treatment plant Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority is moving ahead a planned improvement to the Wastewater Treatment Plan. Authority manager Tony Owen told the Sun that the current task is to secure interim funding that will be used for the design phase of the project, which could take up to one year. Interim funding is required for the project as USDA Rural Development, which has promised a $10.6 million funding package of low interest loans and grants, will buy bonds from the interim funding only after the project is complete. Nearly $2 million of the Rural Development financing package is via grants. Owen said that reasonable progress is a requirement as a mutual agreement and order between DEQ and PCJWSA stipulates making timely progress. “We have a preliminary engineering report that outlines the best course of action for this community... it’s the least costly option (in the) long term for the community,” Owen said. Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority’s next public meeting will be Tuesday, Jan. 5, starting at 5 p.m. in the PCJWSA conference room located at 34005 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City.

The Heroes of 2015 By VERNE MOBLEY
We are ready to have a great 2016. We are the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce, aka PCNVC of C. We live in a world of initials — I guess it makes life simpler and better?!?! :) Our annual Christmas-themed auction and awards banquet was held Tuesday, Dec. 8, and was a great time for all. It sure was nervous time for event chair Kim Carr, and probably most all of us as the electricity was off most of Dec 7. But it was “lights on” for our party. The event was a sellout and most chairs were occupied. Thanks all of you who came out in spite of threatening weather! Chamber honors were bestowed on the Business of the Year — The Oar House Bar & Grill and its owner — the talented Jessica Kliever, who was applauded for the way she supports the community through the donation of both time and money. Dory Days, Birding & Blues, and the Nestucca Valley Christmas Basket Program are amongst the programs and events she has contributed to. She also serves on the advisory committee for the Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority. Our Volunteer of the Year is longtime volunteer Jacie Voegeli. She’s been deserving of this award for a long time and was truly surprised and honored by this. In particular, she was recognized for her work with the Nestucca Valley Backpack Program. Our Citizens of the Year are Nancy and John Emerson. Just this month, Nancy retired as Cloverdale postmaster where she worked for many years. She was a “behind the scenes volunteer for so many projects here. John is Dr. John — he is a semi-retired veterinarian. He is well known and is highly respected by all — the farmer, as well as by the folks who are pet owners. John has served on both the school board and fire board, and Nancy’s volunteer efforts have included the Giving Trees program, the Cloverdale Health Clinic, the Teen Drug Resistance program, United Way, and the Cedar Creek Child Care Center. Anyway, it was a great night at the Pelican. Our entertainment got high grades from some and failing grades from some. Okay, well — can’t please them all. Our December board meeting is Dec. 30, 1 p.m. at the Inn. Retired Nestucca teacher Sue Lenzi will be there to discuss a New Year’s Day beach run/walk. Please join in the fun and become a member of the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce this year. My number is 971-257-0200. Paid Advertisement

Lions
on the
Loose
Another Year of Service By VERNE MOBLEY Lion Membership Chairman
We Lions are still having those busy and fun times as we get ready for Christmas. On Dec. 18, the Christmas baskets went out of the Hebo Fire Hall to about 90 families in South County. The food donations were “over the top” this season. Thank you neighbors for your generosity!! All this past week there were 25 to 30 volunteers working at the Fire Hall. They seemed to stay busy most of the day labeling, sorting, filling bags, and making everything just right in each and every basket! Wow! We can’t say thinks enough. The whole project is sponsored by the Nesko Women’s Club, the Nestucca Valley Lions Club, and our great fire department. Many of the volunteers came from these three groups. Our Lions celebrated the season with a potluck dinner meeting on Dec. 15. The meeting was followed by our white elephant gift exchange. What fun!! Some of our members said they “laughed ‘til their bellies hurt!!” I was one! Lion President Kris did such an excellent job as our Master of Ceremonies for the night. Some lady Lion decorated the hall beautifully. Thanks, Lion Sandy Hanneman and your crew!! So many Lions deserve so much thanks!! We wonder what 2016 will bring. We know what the Nestucca Valley Lions will be doing. We will continue to SERVE with great fundraising projects, with signing up new members, and having a good time doing it!!! Talk to any Lion about membership. My number is 971-257-0200. Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!!! Paid Advertisement

A Harmonious Start for the New Year Pacifica Quartet to bring their Grammy Award-winning talents to Chapel at Camp Wi-Ne-Ma on Jan. 10
R
ecognized for its virtuosity, exuberant performance style, and often-daring repertory choices, Pacifica Quartet will bring two decades of experience to the Neskowin Chamber Music Series when they play a 3 p.m. concert on Jan. 10 at the Chapel at Camp Wi-Ne-Ma. The group tours extensively throughout the United States, Europe, Asia, and Australia, performing regularly in the world’s major concert halls. Named the quartet-in-residence at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music in March 2012, the Pacifica was also the quartet-in-residence at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (20092012) — a position that has otherwise been held only by the Guarneri String Quartet — and received the 2009 Grammy Award for Best Chamber Music Performance. Formed in 1994, the Pacifica Quartet quickly won chamber music’s top competitions, including the 1998 Photo courtesy of Anthony Parmelee Naumburg Chamber Music Award.

FISHING&OUTDOORS When Rain Dampens Your Fishing Chances, Prepare for a Better Day By PAT GEFRE for the Sun
N
ot much has changed as far as water and fishing conditions over the last few weeks. It would seem that we are thoroughly in the grippes of El Nino. Starved for rain all spring and summer, now that the rains have started, we have an over abundance of rain and water that doesn’t seem to have any end in immediate sight. So, for the time being, because of all the rivers being high, off color, and in general out of shape, fishing doesn’t seem a likely option for folks wanting to get outdoors and for a few days of fishing. When you just can’t get outdoors, an alternative would be spending some time taking inventory of your fishing tackle, gear, and equipment. When the weather does change and fishing again becomes an option, it would be nice to know that you will be set and ready to go. Usually I start with my gear — leaks in rain coats and in waders can be annoying and have the capability of cutting the day short due to being wet and cold. There are a number of products designed just for this type of repair. Goop Products make a selection of repair products from Shoe Goo to Marine Goop and all work well in their specified applications. For neoprene or breathables, which are fabric with polyester outer shell, a little more sophisticated product is recommended. I like a few products in this category. Caddis, maker of several types of products, recommends their Neoprene Repair Adhesive. It is 100 percent waterproof, makes a permanent flexible bond with no mixing, no heating. Plus, it cures fast and dries clear. Aquaseal and cotol 240 work on neoprene, nylon and heavyweight fabrics — it’s a great product that includes a cure accelerator and takes about two hours to cure. It’s a superior product but not very good for immediate riverside repairs. Last — but not least — Loon Outdoors makes a product called UV wader repair. Fixes your wader in seconds. UV cure instantly patches pin hole leaks in waders. It also works on breathable and neoprene and is also great for wet suits and hiking boots. Next up would be rod and reels. Most reel repair should be preventable with a couple of tips you should observe when using your reel. Number one, fresh water wash your reel every time you use it. Nothing difficult, just wash it down with the garden hose when you get home. Number two, remember to back off the drag whenever you put the rod away. One of the most often needed repairs is with the drag washers. Most drag washers are fiber and work by com-
pression or squashing the drag washers together. If left compressed for a length of time, drag washers will permanently hold the compressed shape — making them ineffective. The last thing I can recommend is have your reels professionally cleaned occasionally. Disassembled, washed and re-lubricated. Yes, occasional oiling helps, but is not always the solution. Some parts of the reel need oil while other parts require grease — knowing the difference will extend the life of a reel and make it work appropriately.  When it comes to rods, it’s pretty simple. Keep them clean and stored where they’re not likely to get bumped around. Today’s rods are entirely different than you father’s rods. His were likely made of fiberglass, very tough and durable but not very sensitive when it came to feeling what was going on at the business end. Today’s rods are built mostly of different versions of carbon fiber. Boron and graphite in various forms make up most of the rods available in today’s marketplace. They are tough when used properly, offer incredibly more sensitivity, but they also have an Achilles heel. Graphite when nicked or dented creates a weak spot that could break under normal use. That’s why it is important to store them where they will be safe from getting damaged. Today’s rods also feature ceramic guides. Ceramic guides are great at reducing friction and line wear and allow for longer casting. However, ceramic guides can be susceptible to cracking and chipping. Always run your finger around the inside of the top and bottom of your guides checking for chips or cracks. If you find anything that isn’t smooth, replace it. One of the most common causes of frayed line is the guides on the rod. The best way to prevent line fray and losing fish to broken lines is to keep your guides clean and checked for damaged guides. Here’s a helpful hint. In the winter, when the temps are near or below freezing, water will freeze in the tip and guides of your rod making it impossible to cast. Instead of spending your time trying to knock the ice out of rods tips (often breaking them), try spraying the tip and the first couple of guides with WD-40. This will prevent ice build up for quite a few casts. You will need to respray occasionally as needed. I mentioned tackle earlier. The best thing that you can do for spinners, hooks and any tackle made of metal that might rust is to open your tackle box, let all tackle air dry before closing it up, and store it in a dry warm place. Failure to keep things dry will result in rusted tackle and a lot of money spent to replace it.

Bobcats go 4-2 in early action By SHIANA WEAVER for the Sun
T
he Nestucca Bobcats started Christmas break off right as they outlasted Sheridan 58-46 during a Dec. 21 contest. “It was nice to get a win before Christmas,” head coach Jim Kiser said after Monday night’s game. “We led the whole game and pretty well had control all night. Sheridan is a good team, and we came out and shot the ball well and played pretty well defensively,” Kiser said. The ‘Cats shot free throws better in the game against Sheridan than they have all season. In addition, Lucas McKillip and Raymond Jackson-Cruz reportedly did a really good job defending Sheridan’s best player. Nestucca’s scoring was spread out but led by Brett Elder’s 19 points. John Nix added 11 and Cole Strober chipped in 9. Though the ‘Cats have endured a rough start as bad weather has debilitated many practices and games, the Bobcats have recorded a 4-2 start to the season. In earlier action, the ‘Cats handily beat Willamina, 49-24, in a Dec. 11 contest. “We came out and played really well, shot really well,” said Kiser. “We had really even scoring.” On the strength of a 16-2 secondquarter run, the Bobcats built a lead that would only grow. Leading the Nestucca offensive effort were Elder and Lucas McKillip, each netting 10 points. Fortune turned in the next game, when the Bobcats, fell to Faith Bible, 43-39, on Dec. 15. “We struggled in just about every facet of the game,” said Kiser. “We were pretty bad defensively and didn’t get many guys in the scoring column. We made a serious run at them late in the fourth (quarter) but couldn’t catch up. ” Elder led the Nestucca effort with 23 and Alden Betz added 8. The team really struggled coming out of the locker room after halftime. The third quarter hasn’t been the teams strongest this year. Coach Kiser is hoping to find a way to get his team energized in the locker room. Nestucca returned to the win-

BRETT ELDER has been leading the Nestucca Bobcats in scoring so far this season, scoring 10 points against Willamina on Dec. 11, 23 points on Dec. 15 against Faith Bible, and 19 points in a match up with Sheridan on Dec. 21. ning column on Dec. 17 in a game vs. Santiam that Kiser said was quite the fight. Still, the Bobcats prevailed, 38-35. “They were really big and athletic,” said Kiser. “We got the jump on them early in the game and were able to hold on.” Santiam’s tight defense caused the Bobcats problems late in the game, forcing them to turn the ball over. Fortunately, some clutch free throws sealed the win. Nestucca suffered their second loss of the season on Dec. 19 when they went head-to-head with City Christian, losing 53-40. “They were a really good team that was long and athletic and shot
the ball really well,” said Kiser. The Bobcats had too many turnovers but were within two, 25-23, at halftime. Despite the losses to City Christian and Faith Baptist, coach Kiser remains optimistic. “These boys are really fun to coach and be around every day,” he said. “I am really looking forward to the rest of the season. I think there’s a lot of potential for good things.” The team will play next in a threeday tournament with their first game being against Columbia Christian at Riverdale in Southwest Portland. The team is scheduled for games starting Monday, Dec. 28 at 4:30 through Wednesday, Dec. 30.

SPORTS Lady ‘Cats on losing streak, but eager for a comeback By SHIANA WEAVER for the Sun
F
or the Lady ‘Cats, it hasn’t been easy. Plagued in early season with injured players, and canceled practices and games, Nestucca is down, but will not submit without a fight. Amongst their recent battles was a Dec. 19 contest in which they fought hard against City Christian. With two starters, Jillian Wilkinson and Morgan Kirkpatrick, out due to injury and illness, the team came into the game at a disadvantage. Still, that did not stop them from hitting it hard and battling for the win. The team had to call on three freshmen, two of whom were playing in their first varsity game, to help give them a boost. Danny Johnson hit a big three in the first quarter, Ashley Houck came up with several big rebounds and four points in the third quarter, and Yatzari Ozuna gave good minutes in the fourth quarter. “All three had played four quarters in the JV game, but still stepped up when they were called and did a good job,” said head coach Tim Foster. Early on, the girls struggled against City’s press — and that limited their scoring opportunities. However, at the same time, they got hot from outside, hitting five three’s in the first half and three in the second quarter. Tea Chatelain and Jaykayla Jackson led the team in scoring and were relentless in the defensive pressure Nestucca used in the second half as the Bobcats tried to mount a comeback. Still, in the end ,the team was unable to recover from the second quarter scoring burst and lost 22-31. “Their outside shooting really made the difference,” says Foster. “Although we cut the lead to seven a few times in the fourth quarter, we weren’t able to recover. This was a really hard fought game, and I was proud of the way the girls played. We were without two starters due to injury and illness, so we were at a disadvantage from the start and the girls had to play a lot of minutes with little rest.” Though the Lady Bobcats brought their two starters back onto the court for a Dec. 21 game against Sheridan, it wasn’t enough to get back into the win column as they fell, 32-43. “We got Jillian Wilkinson and Morgan Kirkpatrick back for this game, although neither was 100 percent, but were missing Alyssa Morgan, our starting point guard.” Foster explained. The girls were tired and it showed in the types of turnovers they committed early on. They didn’t execute very well offensively until the second half but by that time they had fallen behind by 18. They did, however; start to find their shooting stroke from the outside. Thelma Chavarin caught fire in the second half, hitting four threes, and Jillian Wilkinson connected for two more. They had a few opportunities to cut the lead to five or six, but Sheridan responded when they had to and kept the Lady Bobcats at bay. “It was another step in the right direction, especially on the offensive end,” says Foster. “Hopefully everyone can get healthy and rested and we can make a good run at the Riverdale Tournament next week.” In earlier action, the team, just coming off a bad

THE NESTUCCA LADY BOBCATS fought a hard battle on both ends of the court against Santiam on Dec. 17, before eventually falling 26-42. weather break in which multiple games and practices had to canceled, faced Willamina on Dec. 11. They lost that match, 12-42. “This was a tough game to play after nine days of weird weather,” Foster said. “We turned the ball over several times in the first moments of the game and found ourselves down 7-0 after 45 seconds. After that, we weren’t really able to recover and get much going.” The ‘Cats also lost to Faith Bible, 26-40, on Dec. 15. “We had chances to keep this game closer, but we had a few defensive breakdowns that gave them eight or 10 easy points, and we turned the ball over too much,” Foster said. “Still, we had plenty of opportunities to score, but couldn’t connect.” Jaykayla Jackson’s three-point shooting was once again key, and she led the ‘Cats scoring effort with 11 points. Following Jackson was Chatelain who finished with six points, had a handful of steals and kept good pressure on Faith Bible point guards. Though the team struggled through part of the week to gain their footing back on the court after their delayed start to the season, they found the energy they had in their first game when they faced up against Santiam on Dec. 17. Foster described that contest as their best game so far. “We came out with good energy and were able to knock down a couple outside shots to give us a lead after the first quarter,” Foster said. “Junior Morgan Kirkpatrick really stood out early — scoring all four of her points in the first quarter. Morgan really played a great game. Her intensity and toughness set the tone for us, and we were able to sustain that throughout the game.” Another key was Nestucca’s play on both ends of the floor, which gave them momentum. Despite that, the ‘Cats lost 26-42. The team will battle against Columbia Christian at 3 p.m. Monday, Dec. 28 when competition in a threeday tournament in Southwest Portland begins. The tournament will run through Dec. 30.
