hirty-six surfers showcased their skill with the shortboard on Sunday, April 19 when Moment Surf Co. hosted the Moment of Madness surf competition at Cape Kiwanda.

Taking top honors at the second annual event (rescheduled to April in place of the originally scheduled fall 2014 date, which was cancelled due to adverse conditions) was Gleneden Beach resident Jeremy Rasmussen, of Xcel Wetsuits.

“He caught some of the best waves of the entire contest during the final,” said event organizer and Moment owner Jeff Mollencop. “The conditions were really challenging, but he really stepped up and really caught some great waves.”

Rounding out the top eight performances in order of finish were Kirk Tice (Ossies Surf Shop), Jonathon Grubbs (Lib Tech Surfboards), Laird Tuel (Seaside Surf Shop), Morgan Soller (Seaside Surf Shop), Gret Urata, Mattie Starr (Moment Surf Co.), and Kaylor Hollen.

Mollencop told the Sun that though the conditions were “clean and decent” in the morning, the winds picked up around noon, making for windy conditions during the quarter-final, semifinal, and final rounds.

“All the competitors stepped up to meet the challenges of the conditions and rode well,” he added. “Kirk (Tice) surfed extremely well (as did third-

THE MOMENT OF MADNESS surfing competition plans to donate about $500 to the upcoming Pacific City Skatepark. place finisher) Jonathan Grubbs.”

With the afternoon windy conditions, Mollencop said the key was to recognize an opportunity for catching a scoring wave.

“The conditions made picking the right wave very challenging,” he said.

“They had to be really knowledgeable in those conditions to perform at a high level.”

The event also doubled as a fundraiser for a planned skatepark in Pacific City near Cape Kiwanda. Though final figures weren’t known at press time, Mollencop said he expects to donate

about $500. He credited the events many sponsors, which included several vendors that supply gear to Moment Surf Co., for the successful event.

The next Pacific City surfing competition, also organized and sponsored

by Moment Surf Co., will be the Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic, scheduled for Sept. 19-20 at the Cape. For more information on Moment Surf Co. and the upcoming longboard contest, visit www.momentsurfco.com or www. capekiwandalongboardclassic.com.

TALKBACK An experienced educator John Tenny is a committed citizen, an experienced educator and educational administrator, creative thinker, consensus builder, and he has been an educational grant evaluator, which means he knows how to write a successful grant application. In times of shrinking budgets more and more funding for educational programs is coming from public and private grants so his experience in that area would be invaluable to our schools.

John is also a sport fisherman, devoted husband and grandpa whose grandkids attended Nestucca Valley Elementary School and Nestucca Valley Junior/Senior High School, he has lived in Pacific City for 20 years, and he cooks a mean loaf of noknead bread! Having recently sold an educational software business (eCove Software) John is interested in turning his attention to the local area.

Why is John a write-in candidate? Why isn’t he on the ballot? The answer is simple...the deadline for filing as a candidate came and went and no one filed for this position. Meanwhile John was adjusting to life after running his company. The bottom line is when approached about serving on the school board he saw it as an opportunity to serve the community and put his years of professional experience to work in a different way.

John says, “I don’t really have an agenda, but consider some topics of importance - bullying prevention, teacher quality and support, and community involvement.”

Our challenge is to provide a superior education for our students in reading, math and technology on limited and shrinking budgets. I believe that John will be an effective steward of public funds and his commitment to education has been lifelong.

Someone with this depth of experience who can think outside the box

is a rare bird...and is someone we need on our School Board.

So when you get your ballot for the May 19 election, please consider writing in John Tenny’s name for Nestucca Valley School Board Position # 2.

John Tenny lauded for his commitment to education Education is the key that opens the future for our young people. It is my strong opinion that the people we elect to local school boards can help, or in some cases hinder the turning of that key. I am asking you join me in voting for Dr. John Tenny in the race for Position #2 Nestucca Valley School Board.

Pick up your pen and write in his name for the position. I have known John for 30 years, he is committed to helping improve lives through education.

Thank you.

I have known John and his wife Sue for 35-plus years and know they ensured a good education for their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. John’s dedication to education and being the owner of a small business has given him the background to meet the challenges School Board members face to provide quality education to all students.

NVCA to review park ideas Nestucca Valley Community Alliance will review diagrams for a planned 2.4-acre community park at its next board meeting, May 9, 10 a.m.-noon, at Pacific Seawatch Clubhouse, Pacific City. Also on the agenda will be a discussion of an NVCA-sponsored summer science camp. The public is welcome.

The community park, which will be located just east of Cape Kiwanda on land being leased — for $10 a year — from Tillamook Light Wave, is expected to include a skate park, picnic benches, playground, outdoor amphitheater, in-

terpretative center, and trailhead access.

NVCA has employed Harper Houf Peterson Righeillis, Inc. to draft the overall plan for the park and Lincoln City-based Dreamland Skateparks is designing a multi-use skateboard facility.

During previous public input meetings, some residents have voiced concern over parking and safety concerns, but others have hailed the park as a facility that will benefit the community.

For more information about NVCA, its park plans and educational efforts, visit www.nestucca.org.

Connecting with the area’s businesses

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun If you’re looking to get taste of what the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce — and its members businesses — has to offer, the group’s May Membership meeting might be the perfect entree to satisfy your appetite.

With a theme of “Nacho Average Chamber,” the May 5 membership meeting, held at Pelican Pub & Brewery, will be celebrating Cinco de Mayo with decorated tables hosted by member businesses where attendees can learn more about the companies that make Pacific City and the Nestucca Valley work. A Mexican lunch provided by Pelican Pub for $7 will also be available at the noon meeting.

During the event, attendees will have the opportunity to visit each

table with a “passport” they can have stamped by each vendor. At the end of the event, the passports will be turned in and entered into a drawing for door prizes provided by each participating business.

The vendor with the best decorated table will also be honored.

“The goal is to have businesses interact with each other so we all know what they’re offering,” said event coordinator Kim Carr. “(It’s a chance) to learn more about your local businesses and your local chamber members.”

At press time, there was still a limited number of tables available. Interested member businesses can contact Kim Carr at 503-965-7001 or kim@ innatcpaekiwanda.com to reserve their table. While there is no cost, businesses are being asked to proved “giveaway” items such as logo items and gift certificates for the drawing.

FIRST RESPONDER Dan Sheridan, seen here practicing support for firefighters during a practice burn, encourages civic-minded community members to join the ranks of the volunteer crew at Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District.

Putting in the Effort

The Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District is looking for a few good men and women to bolster its volunteer ranks. Men and women who aren’t afraid of a twohour-a-week training commitment and a willingness to answer the call when an emergency arises. Men like Dan Sheridan.

A registered nurse since 1982, Sheridan answered the call of duty a little more than a year ago after hearing Chief Kris Weiland discuss the need for more volunteers at a Neskowin Community Association meeting, a call for action that it didn’t take long for the former Armed Services medic and nursing instructor at John Hopkins University to respond to.

He says that while he is still in the learning mode, it’s been an opportunity to share his decades of experience in a hospital setting with the emergency services needs here in South Tillamook County.

“I always worked in a well-equipped hospital — even in the military,” he says.

“Here, you’re responding to emergency calls where you have to make do with resources that are being carried in the vehicle. It’s a much different mindset and a great challenge.”

Amongst the things he enjoys about the experience is the people he works with and the teamwork they display.

“We have folks from all kinds of different backgrounds but they all have the training to be able to work together as a team,” he says.

Besides the reward of sharing his own expertise and the challenge of learning how to do it in the field, he says the reward is in helping others and contributing to the community.

And while the once-a-week training as well as the medical calls demand a time commitment, he says that to him it’s an investment that pays dividends.

“You have to have a consistent commitment of time in order to get the training you need to be a part of a well-functioning team of first responders and firefighters, but that commitment is (just a couple of hours) a week,” he says. “It’s not a job. You can still have your pretty much normal life, but you’re committing to (two hours) a week to keep not only yourself safe but also those in emergency situations.”

Further, he notes that the district also helps travelers that visit the area.

“There’s people driving through the county and using the beautiful parks we have here and in that process people develop unexpected medical and emergency needs,” he says.

Though Sheridan is not a firefighter in the sense that he doesn’t enter burning buildings — in part because of a promise to his wife — that doesn’t mean he’s not an important part of fire response efforts. To support firefighters, he’s instead contributing by doing such things as rolling and unrolling hoses, changing oxygen tanks and doing medical assessments of firefighters to make sure they’re not becoming exhausted.

“There’s still a lot of things I need to know as a first responder without the need for entering a burning building,” he says. “We have a need for both (more) firefighters and first responders.”

In fact, at Nestucca Fire, medical calls far outweigh the number of fires. With that in mind, Sheridan says he encourages those with a medical background to consider becoming part-time volunteers with the district. Still, he acknowledges that no experience is necessary, merely the willingness to devote a little time for the betterment of the community.

“You don’t have to have a professional medical background to be a first responder. You don’t have to be somebody who already knows about fire prevention and fighting fires in order to become a firefighter because we will teach you. We will teach you at a consistent pace around the other things in your life.

“It’s a good feeling to know that by volunteering you have helped someone in a time of need,” he says. “Whether that’s a child that’s having a seizure, an 80-year-old that maybe fell down and broke a hip, someone involved in a motor vehicle crash on Highway 101, or someone hurt when their dune buggy rolled over at Sand Lake, (responding) gives you a sense of worth. I enjoy it.”

Community turns out for Nesko Women’s Club 90th anniversary celebration

D

escendants of charter members joined current members at the Nesko Women’s Club 90th anniversary party at the Kiawanda Community Center on Saturday April 18, making a connection through the entire 90 years of the club’s history.

The very well attended celebration was funded through grants and community support, including a grant for $900 from the Tillamook County Cultural Coalition and another for $500 from the Neskowin Community Association.

A large number of community donations made for a busy raffle — items like restaurant gift certificates were raffled about every 10 minutes during the three-hour event. The grants and donations were an indication that this isn’t just a social club, but one that works year round to raise funds that go back into the community in many forms, including college scholarships. Attending the party was college scholarship recipient Jessica Ponce, who will be studying elementary education.

Handed out at the door along with the raffle tickets was the booklet produced by the club outlining its history. It was a big hit at the event, as evidenced by the heads bowed over the booklet at almost every table.

“It was really fun for us to put together,” said club historian Kay Kiser.

“And now we get to enjoy seeing some of the people we have pictures of as kids in the booklet as grownups.”

Displayed at the front of the room was an enlarged photo from 1948 of the entire club membership and the member’s children, which was another hit as the women found their mothers or themselves in the photo.

“We remember how much it meant to these women to come to the club and bring their best food,” said Kay Haltner, daughter of founding member Anna Whiteman. “I remember it in particular because I always wanted to eat.”

Although celebrating a women’s club, the party was attended by several men, including Bill Rock, son of charter member Evelyn Rock.

“When the club was formed they didn’t necessarily intend to exclude men,” said current member Jeanette Miller. “But the men could see the value of their wives having something to do.

Today, even though they aren’t formal members, the gentlemen help us tremendously in many ways. But we try not to use them too much because we want them to save their energy for the Book and Bake Sale.”

The Fourth of July Book and Bake sale, the club’s biggest fundraiser, is held annually on the lawn in front of the Neskowin Trading Co. The Nesko Women’s Club meets at the historic Hudson House on the third Friday of the month at 11:45 a.m., September-May, except December. Any woman over the age of 16 that lives in or has a connection with South Tillamook County may join. For more information, contact, Judie Rubert 541-760-2389.

NEWS&COMMUNITY USFWS plans guided paddles on Nestucca River system Interested in getting on the water this summer? The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service is launching an inaugural series of four guided paddle trips at Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge, near Pacific City.

Organizers say that from the Little Nestucca River to the bay, expansive mudflats surrounding the refuge’s Two Rivers Peninsula offer plenty to see from a kayak or canoe.

Held from June to September, the four free guided canoe and kayak trips each last approximately two hours and will take visitors through the heart of Nestucca Bay, all the while learning about its wildlife and natural history. Specifically, the trip will take paddlers through refuge wetlands into Nestucca Bay, passing alongside the spruce- and alder-covered Two Rivers Peninsula.

As the Little Nestucca winds toward the bay, Cape Kiwanda and Haystack Rock materialize in the distance.

Dates scheduled at press time were Saturday, June 6, 5-7 p.m.; Friday, June 26, 9-11 a.m.; Thursday, July 23, 6:30-8:30 p.m.; and Wednesday, Sept. 23, 9:30-11:30 a.m.

Participants must provide their own canoe or kayak for each trip. During the summer, this area often has unpredictable winds and waves. For this reason UWFWS does not recommend this paddle trip for beginners; experience is strongly recommended. For safety, paddlers are encouraged to dress appropriately for paddling in all weather conditions.

Wearing a personal flotation device (PFD) is mandatory.

For more information or to register for a trip contact Peter Pearsall: peter_pearsall@fws.gov, 541-2700610. USFWS can provide binoculars, field guides, and PFDs to use during the trip if needed. Trips are limited in size, and scheduled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Participants must call or email ahead to make a reservation. When making the reservation, paddlers should include the amount of boats in their party. Once registered, USFWS will send out additional details via email. All trips will launch within 15 minutes of the time listed. For more information and updates, as well as space availability, visit www.fws.gov/ oregoncoast.

Hailed as Oregon’s start to the cycling season, Reach the Beach returns to Pacific City on May 16

Scores of Cyclists are headed for

Cape Kiwanda T

he community of Pacific City will welcome an expected 3,000 bicyclists when the American Lung Association in Oregon’s Reach the Beach bicycle event finishes at Cape Kiwanda on Saturday, May 16. Participants will pedal their way from four different start locations: Portland (104 miles), Newberg (80 miles), Amity (55 miles)

or Grand Ronde (26 miles), all finishing on the beach in Pacific City.

Organizers say the event, which this year is being presented by AAA, will again feature the elements that make this ride stand out as one of the most popular, best-supported bike events in the Northwest: ample fully-stocked rest stops, medical and mechanical support along the way, beautiful routes, and a festive beach party and feast at the finish line in Pacific City. Children are allowed to ride, either on their own bikes or being pulled by a trailer.

“AAA has always been committed to supporting the communities where our 760,000 members and employees live and work,” said Tim Morgan, President & CEO at AAA Oregon/Idaho. “Our entire team is excited to join the American Lung Association’s 25th anniversary Reach the Beach ride as the presenting sponsor this year. AAA Oregon/ Idaho is proud to provide roadside assistance to bicycles, so whether you like to get around on two wheels or four, AAA will be there to provide the services and peace of mind you need to keep life going.”

CAPE KIWANDA will be the finish-line destination for the expected 3,000 bike riders participating in the 25th annual Reach the Beach fundraiser for the American Lung Association of Oregon, Saturday, May 16. Riders will choose from four possible routes — distances range from a 26-mile trip from Grand Ronde to a 104-mile tour from Portland. Registration is $50, plus $100 in donations. Visit www.reachthebeach.org.

will take place on Saturday, May 2 at Widmer Brothers Brewing at 929 N. Russell Street in Portland from noon-4 p.m. Free beer samples will be available for the riders and Steve Schulz, Ride Director for Cycle Oregon, will be presenting at 1 p.m.

Riders who are unable to attend Packet Pickup can receive their bibs at their starting location the day of the ride.

“It’s one of the popular (bicycle rides) in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest,” said Brian Mayo, director of development for the ALAO. “People appreciate the point-topoint route. They’re able to see a lot of Oregon during the ride and its finish at the beach makes it one of those iconic rides.”

Mayo credits the welcoming of the community of Pacific City for its long-standing success.

“It’s been a great place to come to every year,” he said.

At ride’s end, cyclists will be treated to a finish line party with a dinner provided by Pelican Pub & Brewery included in registration.

Friends and family — or even just those coming down to cheer the riders on — can also join in the pub’s meal for $15.

“Pelican Pub has always been great in helping us out with food and making riders and volunteers feel welcome,” he said.

Organizers are still seeking community members interested in helping out. Those that volunteer will be rewarded with a complimentary event shirt and meal ticket.

“We’ve got a variety of ways people can help — everything from helping at the bike corral to cheering at the finishing line to helping

Page 12 • Pacific City SUN • May 1, 2015

with bag check and prize distribution,” Mayo said. “We’re going to be very busy at the finish line this year with so many people registering. We want to make sure that they all have an amazing time.”

The corral in particular is in need of volunteers. Jointly run by the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Nestucca Valley Lions club, who will receive a $1,500 donation from ALAO for their efforts, the bike corral is a service to riders looking for a place to securely park their bikes while they enjoy finish line activities.

Beyond its fundraising goal of $475,000, Reach the Beach also serves as a way to raise awareness of the American Lung Association in Oregon’s mission of saving lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease. Counting registration fees and corporate sponsorship, ALAO hopes to bring in a total of $640,000 this year.

For more information or to register or volunteer, visit: www. reachthebeach.org. During the event, participants and/or community members can call 800-853-8412 for ride support assistance.

The American Lung Association in Oregon is a non-profit, voluntary public health organization, working to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease in Oregon. Its programs focus on the areas of air quality, tobacco prevention and cessation and lung health.

Nestucca Band members to serenade public during May 8 ‘Community Prom’

M

usical remembrances of the ‘20s through the ‘60s will reverberate throughout the Kiawanda Community Center on Friday, May 8 when the Nestucca High Dance Band provides the musical backdrop for the Nestucca Community Prom, starting at 7 p.m.

Appropriately enough, the twohour event’s last song will be a performance of “Save the Last Dance for Me.” “The students love this event because they love connecting with members of the community,” said band director Kathleen Serven. “For the community, it’s one of the rare times when they can enjoy a live band they can dance to.

While in the early years of the more than two decades that Nestucca has put on the prom it was a senior citizen event, in recent years organizers have opened the formal dancing event to all — hence the addition of

CCB #171850

musical selections from later decades.

Though billed as a formal event, dressing to the nines isn’t required — but it is encouraged.

“It’s a chance (for families and couples) to dress up and go out for a nice evening with their loved one,” Serven said. “I love this event because this is our one outlet for our band to play classic jazz music.”

Much of the evenings play list will hail from the jazz genre, but Serven said there will also be plenty of waltzes thrown in the mix.

“That’s a favorite of the community,” Serven said. “We’ll also play some of those classic old-time pieces that you can’t get in print anymore.”

Though there is no admission charge, event organizers are encouraging donations, which will help fund the band program at Nestucca Jr.-Sr. High School.

A Cinco de Mayo celebration

By VERNE MOBLEY Get ready to take a trip south of the border! The Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce is hosting their annual May Membership Meeting on Tuesday, May 5 at the Pelican Pub, starting at noon.

With the theme of “Nacho Average Chamber,” the Cinco de Mayo celebration will feature booths hosted by several Chamber businesses, each of which will be offering give-a-way items that will be awarded via a drawing. As of press time, a limited number of booth spaces were available. Chamber members can contact Kim Carr at 503-965-7001 or kim@ innatcapekiwanda.com to reserve space.

The Cloverdale Committee of the Chamber of Commerce recently held a meeting to discuss planning for Clover’s Day on July 3rd. Seventeen people attended and brought along their enthusiasm.

All who were there hope to make this the best Clover’s Day ever.

In Cloverdale, we look forward to the new restaurant in town ran by the Ponce’ family from right here in Hebo. They are scheduled to open May 1st—Right away! They plan on serving tacos and other Mexican items. I don’t know the name of their business, but come on over and meet this great family and have a taco!!

Other exciting stuff is on the corner of Bridge Street where the beautiful mural done by Marilyn Burkhart is. Marilyn now owns the art gallery and former owner Tom Goodwin is using it until June or so when Tom will move his own gallery across Hwy. 101.

Right next door at the pharmacy building, formerly owned by John Griggs, dairy farmers Dave and Debbie Hale and their daughter Kelly Armstrong have purchased the building and are working on massive construction and remodeling projects of the building.

There is now a new front on the place. Looks great, neighbors!!

The Dory cafe is now open more hours to serve more people. They now do breakfast and lunch and plans are in place for dinner. Congratulations Harland for taking over for that great lady Elly Culp — your mother. Stop by and say howdy and have a bite.

Please call any Chamber member to join the Chamber. I’m at 503-392-4436. You can also visit www.pcnvchamber.org for more information.

Continuing the Tradition Folk artist David Roth to play annual South Tillamook County concert Monday, May 4 at Thomas Goodwin Gallery

By GRETCHEN AMMERMAN for the Sun

F

olk Musician David Roth says he’s been described as “James Taylor meets Jon Stewart.” Like Taylor’s well-known song “You’ve got a Friend,” it’s friendship that keeps this nationally popular musician coming back to South Tillamook County during his annual Pacific Northwest tour, this year to the Thomas Goodwin Gallery in Cloverdale on Monday, May 4.

Roth first performed in Pacific City 12 years ago at the request of his friend Pat Rickert. Rickert has since moved to California, but not before introducing him to local musician Fred Bassett, who now organizes Roth’s annual performances as well as joining him on the stage.

“I had written a song that he inspired, and I asked Pat to pass it on to him,” Fred said. “The next thing I knew, he was asking me to join him on stage at his next show here, even though he had never heard me perform.”

But Roth trusted his friend’s recommendation.

“That’s the beauty of folk music,” he said. “I trusted something and Fred turned out to be a beautiful man and musician, and we became friends. Now Fred continues where Pat left off and I’m very appreciative.”

Roth’s songwriting has been heard or read in such places as Carnegie Hall, the United Nations, several Chicken Soup for the Soul books, the Kennedy Center, Peter, Paul, & Mary concerts, and NASA’s Goddard Space Center (His song “Rocket Science” went up on the Space Shuttle Atlantis’s May 2009 mission to repair the Hubble Telescope); he even sang the national anthem on two occasions for the NBA’s Michael Jordan-era Bulls.

“When he comes to the Pacific Northwest, he plays Portland, Seattle and large places like that where he can draw a crowd on the weekends,” Barrett said. “And then shares himself with us on a weekday; that’s the kind guy he is.”

Although in an intimate setting, this concert will also be broadcast live to the world.

“We’re making this a Concert Window event,” Roth said. “It’s a broadcasting service that makes the show available to people in different parts of the world so they can enjoy concerts they would not have been able to make it to. I’ve done about four or five of these over the years, but I like to limit the number of times I do it so that people will still come out to see my music, which is important.”

The thing that people watching the broadcast won’t be able to do, though, is pick up an actual hold it in your hand copy of “So Far, So Good,” Roth’s brand new, hot off the press album.

“It’s a worldwide record release party, right here in Cloverdale, Oregon,” Bassett said.

On his 13th CD, Roth described the songs as “A roller coaster ride of song and story.” Recorded in his home studio, it includes, through the beauty of technology, musicians ranging from Washington state, Colorado and Massachusetts.

FOLK ARTIST David Roth will play a May 4 concert at Thomas Goodwin Gallery. Suggested donation for the 7:30 p.m. performance is $10, but no one will be turned away.

“It’s still fairly representative of what people might hear when they come to one of my concerts,” Roth said.

“The only thing I can’t duplicate in person is me singing harmony with myself.”

Roth’s musical influence comes from a strong folk tradition, with influences including: Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Gordon Lightfoot, Simon and Garfunkel, and Joni Mitchell.

“This is my 27th year of making a living as a full time musician,” he said. “But it’s people like Fred in towns like Cloverdale that keep the train rolling, willing to do a show on a Monday night. Otherwise I might not be able to come to a smaller town because on weekends I count on larger crowds to pay for my airplane tickets and rental cars.”

Bassett will be opening the show accompanied by his wife Sonya Kazen.

“Sonya made her living as a vocalist for many years in the Portland area as a solo artist and with bands,” he said. “We opened for David last year together at the Grateful Bread. I began singing and writing back in the 60s but I’ve really been getting more into it later in life.”

The couple, who met only a few years ago, were married this January.

“Sonya’s taught me a lot,” Bassett said. “Together I think we make some pretty good music.”

The Thomas Goodwin Gallery is located at 34395 Highway 101. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. The suggested donation for the performance is $10 but no one will be turned away. Keeping with tradition, refreshments are by potluck: “Anybody that wants to do a plate of cookies or a fruit salad, bring it on down.”

FISHING&OUTDOORS

Springing for Chinook

By PAT GEFRE for the Sun

I

t’s looking more and more like we are going to have an exceptionally dry year. This doesn’t bode well for most of the fisheries in the state of Oregon. Most immediately, spring chinook could be affected in a not so positive way. We currently have enough water in the Nestucca to get springers started and the weekend of April 22-24 saw a few salmon being caught in the lower river. With no snow pack in the coastal mountains, it would seem like we are going to have to depend on rainfall to keep the river levels sufficiently high enough to move salmon into the North Coast rivers and enough water to get them into their spawning grounds.

Springers, unlike fall salmon, sit in the river all spring and summer and it isn’t until late September that the spring salmon start to spawn. Keeping current flows at an optimum and river temperatures cool enough through the summer months has always been a challenge for the Nestucca system.

Meadow Lake Dam on the upper Nestucca is the water source for the city of McMinnville. Ever increasing needs of the McMinnville water district takes its toll on the Nestucca River flow. In years past, the Nestucca used to flow at about 3.7 to 3.8 feet in the summer. The last few years that has been reduced to an average of about 3.3 feet. It may not seem like much, but 4 to 5 inches of reduced flows has a huge impact. Water temperatures climb higher creating more stress for fish. Steelhead smoltz are usually the first to be negatively impacted by temperature. Unfortunately, they are also the most affected by lower water levels as well. Lower water levels take away hiding places for smaller fish making them more susceptible to predation, especially from birds. Fish, ducks, cormorants, osprey and other birds of prey find pickings much easier in low water. With small fish already stressed from temperature, they cannot expend large amounts of energy avoiding predators. In short, it is getting more and more difficult for native fish to keep a viable population coming back to the rivers. An especially dry spring and summer could have a dramatic effect on future fisheries.

Spring chinook fishing is starting to heat up with more fishermen giving the sport a try. Numbers of salmon are still low, but enough are showing up to get

fishermen out and about. Between April 23-24, we knew of about 12 salmon caught between the Big Nestucca and Three Rivers. The average size has been 15 to 18 pounds with one fish weighing in at 24 pounds. Bobber and drift fishing with eggs and or shrimp has produced the best results to date. Not a surprise, as these two baits always seem to account for the larger majority of salmon caught. Over the next two weeks, I would expect the numbers of salmon to increase exponentially and by mid-May the salmon fishery should be in full swing.

Often neglected, summer steelhead will be returning at the same time as the spring chinook. Most fishermen would rather spend their time plying the waters for salmon rather than summer steelhead. Still, summer steelhead can generate some interest and are fun to catch and even better to eat. The trick to catching summer is to refine what you’re doing. Because salmon fishermen are often using very heavy lines to catch bigger fish and bigger hooks and even larger baits for the same reason, they seldom attract or hook summers.

To get the attention of summer steelhead, one must down size everything.

Lighter line is a must — steelhead, unlike salmon, are very keen of sight.

They won’t bite anything presented on heavy line. Hook sizes must be smaller and bait must be smaller. Most importantly, a summer steelhead requires a bait presentation to look natural. If your sinker is too heavy, it will look herky jerky traveling downstream and it will not look like a naturally flowing offering and your bait will be ignored.

I’ve actually seen steelhead move to the side, out of the path of perfectly drifted bait, let a bait pass and then move right back to the spot they were sitting before you floated a bait to them.

The kids fishing event at Hebo Lake, held April 16, was a huge success.

Hats off to ODFW and the U.S. Forest Service for providing a first-class event for the kids. I’m told that there may have been as many as 200 youngsters in attendance throughout the day. A great time was had by most and lots of limits of rainbow trout were taken home. Stocking oversized trout was a nice touch. We had one youngster in the shop after fishing at Hebo, and he caught one nearly 24 inches, while his younger brother caught a 16-inch keeper. Those were two very happy future fishermen.

NESTUCCA looks to improve on their recent struggles in games vs. Gaston on May 1 and Portland Lutheran/ Portland Waldorf on May 5 and 8.

Bobcats struggle, but defense improves

By GRETCHEN AMMERMAN for the Sun

A

fter getting some wins under their belts, the Nestucca Bobcats faced the higher-ranked teams and suffered some shutouts. Playing Delphian on their home field Thursday, April 16, they won 12-11, then travelled for a double header against the same team, losing 2-12 in the first game and coming back with a 7-6 win in the second.

“We won some games and started pulling it together,” head coach Jim Kiser said. “But we’re now getting to the tougher part of our schedule.”

Against Knappa in a home game on April 21, they lost 1-7, then played a double header Friday, April 24 and got shut out both games; losing 0-11 in the first and 0-10 in the second.

“We’re still struggling to hit the ball, but, defensively, I think we’re getting a lot better,” said Kiser.

“But when you’re so young and you’re struggling in the beginning of games, it’s hard to come back from that, and we didn’t.”

Tuesday, April 28, the ‘Cats met Gaston on the home field and lost again, 0-11.

“Gaston has five or six guys that have played for them for two or three years, and they hit the ball pretty well,” said Kiser. “It’s hard to do well when you’re as young as we are and playing against juniors and seniors. Five out of 11 on our team are freshmen, and we have a sophomore, Emily Menefee who’s played mostly softball, not baseball as much. She really loves the sport though, and I’m glad to be able to have her out there.”

Kiser still uses a lot of players on the mound, rotating about five guys, although he does have one steady thrower at home.

“Wyatt Link has gotten into the rotation where we use him in our home games,” he said. “But we’ll have some more guys switching through in the next few weeks.”

The upcoming schedule has the team travelling to Gaston on Friday, May 1, for a double header, then to Portland on Tuesday, May 5, against Portland Lutheran/Portland Waldorf. Back on the home field they will meet the Portland team again for a double header on Friday, May 8. The final contests will be against Faith Bible — at Ron Tonkin Field on May 12, and then at home for a double header on Thursday, May 14.

Nestucca runners gear up for district, state meets

By GRETCHEN AMMERMAN for the Sun As the 2015 track season comes to a close, it’s clear Nestucca will be sending athletes back to the state championship meet, and adding some new names as well.

“Most of the team this year are kids that did well last year,” said head coach John Elder. “But we have several athletes that are standing out this year besides our returning state champions. Wyatt McKillip in the boy’s hurdles has really come along this year.

Last year he didn’t make it to ‘States’ but he’s really working hard this year. In the girls hurdles, freshman Jakela Jackson is ranked in the state, so that was a nice surprise. Tea Chatelain also been a really nice surprise; she’s running really strong this year in the 400s. She gets a faster time every time she runs. She’s now in the top 5 in the state rankings.”

Although the whole season has been going well, coach Elder was particularly proud of the team’s performance at the Portland Christian meet held Saturday, April 25.

“There were 23 boys teams there and we were second,” he said. “My son Brett won athlete of the meet and he won the discus with a school record and a meet record with 160 feet, 11 inches in shot put and he won the javelin, so it was a really good day.”

Current top-10 standings for the Northwest District are as follows: Raymond Jackson-Cruz is in sixth for the 800 meters, in third for the 1500 meters, and in fourth for the 3,000 meters; Jordan Whittles is in 10th for the 800 meters, in seventh for the 1,500 meters, in sixth for the 3,000 meters, and in second for pole vault; Wyatt McKillip is currently in second place in the 100-meter hurdles and first in the 300-meter hurdles; Sean McColly is third in

the 110-meter hurdles and second in the 300-meter hurdles; Cody Kirkendall is fourth in the 100-meter hurdles and fourth in the 300-meter hurdles; Drace Moeller is first in shot put, and second in discus and javelin; Brett Elder is second in shot put, first in discus, and third in javelin; Ryan Leslie is first in pole vault, fourth in javelin, and is in a three-way tie for seventh in high jump; Thor Farstad is fifth in shot put and sixth in discus; Brad Witt is 10th in discus; Luis Romero is fourth in pole vault; and the relay teams are in fourth for the 4x100 relay, and fifth for the 4x400.

Standings for the women are: Tea Chatelain is fourth in the 100 meters, second in the 200 meters, first in the 400 meters, eighth in long jump and second in the triple jump; Kate Reader is ninth in the 100 meters, fourth in the 300-meter hurdles and ninth in shot put; Kycie Richwine is fourth in the 200 meters, first in the 110 meters and 300 hurdles and second in pole vault; Jaykala Jackson is second in the 100 meters and 300-meter hurdles; Monica Chatelain is first in 800 meters, third in 1,500 meters, first in discus and second in javelin; Courtney Ahn is second in the 800 meters, first in the 1,500 meters and first in the 1,500 meters; Payton Hopkins is fourth in 800 meters and the 1,500 meters; Rebekah Whittles is fifth in the 800 meters, and second in the 1,500 and 3,000 meters; Mia Dorsey is second in shot put and fifth in javelin; Thelma Chaverrin is seventh in shot put, third in discus, and ninth in javelin; Willow Wood is tied for second in high jump, seventh in long jump, and third in triple jump; Perla Gracia is fourth in pole vault and sixth in triple jump.
