NEWS&COMMUNITY

By GRETCHEN AMMERMANfor the Sun

A community group that started small has made a rather large contribution, donating more than

1,000 handmade quilts to an organization that creates a place of respite for families of children battling illness.

“We started with just two people 15 years ago,” said Tuesday Stitchers co-founder Karin Twedt. “At first it was just me and Jeannie Marshall. Now we usually have between 20-35 people at a time.”

Created without a particular goal, the ladies simply wanted to “be able to sew without interrup-tion and get lunch made for us.” Soon more joined the group, and when Jeannie let on that she had been a quilting teacher in the past, they decided to include quilting instruction to the informal gather-ings. The name “Tuesday Stitch-ers” was adopted after 2005, when member Shelley Crowe proposed donating finished quilts to fami-lies staying at the Caring Cabin.

“We called ourselves a ‘stitch and bitch,’” Twedt said. “But once we started making the quilts, we had to sew labels on them, and we couldn’t exactly put that on the labels.”

The relationship with the Children’s Cancer Association, which the Caring Cabin is a part of, started 10 years ago when the quilters organized a show at the Community Center with hundreds of quilts on display to celebrate the opening of the Cabin.

“Since then, I’ve had the deep privi-lege of getting to know Karen Twedt and the amazing women who make up the Tuesday Stitchers,” said CCA co-founder and Caring Cabin site manager Cliff Ellis. “Thanks to their kindness and talents, we’re able to hand select a quilt that reflects the interests, favorite colors, and personality of every child that visits the Cabin. The Tuesday Stitchers are passion-ate ambassadors for CCA and an incred-

ible testament to the generosity of the Pacific City community.”

When Crowe first proposed the project, she was met with a bit of concern at home.

“I thought it would be nice to make quilts for the kids that had to stay there,” Crowe said. “My husband said, ‘That would take making 50 quilts a year,’ which he thought would be too much. Well, we’re now starting our second thousand batch of quilts. Some of our members

have made 40-50 all on their own. One woman lost her son and decided to make and donate a quilt for every year that he’d lived, but once she did it, she just kept on going. This is such a caring group and a great example of how one person can have an idea then have many people come forward to make it happen.”

The quilts have come to be an inte-gral part of the experience for those at the Cabin.

“Families come to the Caring Cabin to connect with nature, to heal, and to create lasting memories outside of the hospital environment,” said Megan Byrtek, CCA President and CEO. “The exquisite, personalized quilts that the Tuesday Stitchers create warmly welcome

each family as soon as they walk in the door. We are incredibly grateful to the Tuesday Stitchers for their friendship, tal-ent, and generosity.”

The quilts donated to Caring Cabin aren’t the only pieces of goodwill pro-duced by the Tuesday Stitchers.

“We also have had 500-600 quilts donated to community members that are in need for a variety of reasons,” Twedt said. “They say ‘It takes a village,’ and it really does. We do so much more

than make quilts: rides to town, to doctor’s appointments, temporary shelter, we even have one person whose well goes out every once in a while so we help her. We’re just a loosely organized group of people who get together to support each other in many ways. We’ve been there for each other through cancer, losses of husbands, lots of things. It’s a wonderful support system.”

One of the ways the group raises funds is through periodic sales of donated fabric. “We had one member pass away and her husband donated boxes of wonderful fabric to us.” Twedt said. “Sometimes people just need to clean out fabric or other quilting and sewing supplies they’ve had in storage and we are happy to get it. Our members love the sales because they are a great way to find new things.”

Though there are currently about 60 members on the mailing list, the group always welcomes more members and are happy to have people just drop in on their weekly get-togethers. “Our membership keeps growing,” Twedt said. “We now have the granddaughter of one of our members that has joined and many members that are not full time residents of Tillamook County.” And in case you are wondering, yes, they have one member that is a man.

The Tuesday Stitchers meet every Tues-day at the Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City, from 10 am to 3 pm. For more information, call 503-965-7900.

THE TUESDAY STITCHERS RECENTLY DONATED THEIR 1,000TH QUILT to the Caring Cabin, a respite for children with cancer and their families run by Children’s Cancer Association. Above, from l-r, Sharon Nutting and Karen Tyler show two more of the quilts destined for the Caring Cabin as they pose in front of a cabinet filled with more of the recently hand-sewn quilts.

Oregon State Parks & Recreation Department recently announced that because the western snowy

plover is trying to nest near the mouth of the Sand Lake Estuary, OPRD will be working with partners on a long-term management strategy. This is the first time since 1984 that the rare shorebird has attempted to nest in this area.

In an April 8 release, the agency not-ed that because plover nests are carefully camouflaged, they need the public’s help in protecting them, help that will come in the form of restrictions on the beach near the estuary.

To give the nests breathing room, a small area close to the south side of the estuary mouth will be marked off. In oth-er areas, bikes need to stick to the hard sand, and kites (which mimic threatening birds) need to stay grounded.

Additional restrictions include the temporary suspension of driving on the beach north of the primary beach access trail, and the prohibition of dogs, wheth-er leashed or unleashed, on this northern portion of beach.

Restrictions are expected to run until at least mid-July. OPRD associate director Chris Havel told the Sun that if birds have not laid eggs in that time, the regulations may be relaxed. However, if the birds are nesting eggs, the beach limitations will likely run through mid-September.

According to Havel, the snowy plover nesting season begins when the male birds scrape out hollows that later be-come nests. They do four to six “scrapes” to see which attracts a female plover. Because of this, he says it is the bird that determines how large on off-limit section is. Still, he believes the boundary as is will likely remain.

“I think we’ve already drawn a boundary where it needs to be,” Havel said. “The plovers are focused on the northern end (of the beach that stretches from Tierra Del Mar to the Sand Lake Es-tuary). It would be hard to imagine them continuing to march south.”

For more information, or to vol-unteer for OPRD’s Plover Patrol, visit https://oprdstewardship.wordpress.com/category/wildlife/western-snowy-plover/. Those with questions can email OPRD at [email protected].

Protecting the PloverState Parks enacts restrictions on the beach near

Sand Lake Estuary to protect nesting Snowy Plovers

OREGON STATE PARKS & RECREATION DEPT. has enacted rules on the beach near Sand Lake Estuary that are designed to protect the Snowy Plover, which is nesting in the area for the first time since 1984.

DURING SNOWY PLOVER NESTING SEASON, the beach just south of Sand Lake Estuary will be closed to dogs, kites and vehicles. Pedestrians will be asked to stay on wet sand.

A political forum for Tillamook County Commissioner hopefuls saw six candidates share their

goals, aspirations and priorities to members of the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce on Tues-day, April 5.

Though the forum, which was hosted by the Chamber, also invited candidates for the Oregon House of Representative, District 10 seat, chal-lenger Thomas Donohue was unable to attend. Incumbent David Gomberg did speak as did David Downs on behalf of Donohue. The result of the Oregon House May Primary race is already decided as only one demo-crat, Gomberg, and one republican, Donohue, filed. The two will face off in November.

Things are much different in the two commissioner races where four candidates, Jennifer Purcell, Stevie Stephens Burden, Shaena Peterson and David Yamamoto, of Pacific City, are vying for the chance to replace retiring longtime Commissioner Mark Labhart. Opposing incumbent Bill Baertlein is Belinda Williams.

Baertlein said his experience as a certified public accountant — he opened his own practice in Tillamook in 1980 — has served him well as com-missioner.

“In my time as a CPA, I also became a municipal auditor,” he said. “I’ve audited every city in Tilla-mook County and most of the school districts...I’ve got a broad knowledge of what (makes) county governments work, and I’ve used that in my last four years as county commissioner.”

He added that one of the biggest issues for him is Tillamook County’s lack of housing and noted that’s why he is chairing a housing task force that he also helped to start.

Williams touted her experience in managing budgets, collaboration and project management.

“I’m not afraid to fight for what I believe is right and what is right for the citizens and visitors of Tillamook County,” she said. “I will lead a collab-orative effort to develop a comprehen-sive, county-wide vision for the future of Tillamook County — drawing north, central and south county together to meet the needs of all segments of our growing population with a focus on encouraging a vibrant economy with living wage jobs, affordable hous-ing and a sound infrastructure while preserving our heritage and legacy and managing our resources with the responsibility they are due.”

In her comments, Purcell cited her experience as the current vice-chair of the Tillamook County Futures Coun-cil, a former member of the Tillamook County Parks Advisory Committee and a longtime member of the Tillamook Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors as foundation for her prepa-ration for the job of county commis-sioner.

“Our quality of life depends on a healthy economy and healthy commu-nities,” she said. “Healthy economies depend on having quality infrastruc-ture and a trained workforce. They also rely on small business....I will work to

strengthen community partners in the areas of economic development and education. Tillamook County is a diverse community of communities yet we share a resilient spirit and a col-laborative work ethic. I look forward to working together to find solutions to tough issues.”

In explaining what her candidacy is all about, Burden pointed to a per-sonal code of ethics she wrote in 2013 that challenged herself — and others — to examine personal ethics and how we live our lives, as well as how com-munity members can be better ver-sions of themselves and create com-munities that are better themselves in the process.

“I’ve been five times the Mayor of Wheeler,” she added. “I have all the list of accomplishments (needed for the position). I think there’s a lot of things we need to talk about, and I’m already involved in making hard choices in Til-lamook County.”

Yamamoto referred to his 23 years experience in the forest products industry and 20 years in the long-term care industry as valuable experience. He also noted that he’s been involved in more than 20 government and civic organizations.

“I have experience in land use planning, in ocean policy, visioning, transportation, health care, senior issues, economic development and emergency preparedness, as well as other issues,” he said. “It gives me a broad-based focus for Tillamook County. I do feel that people are Til-lamook County’s greatest asset. I think we all want the same thing. We all

want to work hard and become pro-ductive citizens. We all want to make sure our children are well educated. We want to make sure that our kids have a better opportunity at life than we did. We want to know that our elderly are taken care of.”

“There are a lot of issues in Til-lamook County,” he added. “Fiscal re-sponsibility is going to be at the top of my plate. I think when you look at the budget, coming up this year and in the future with Tillamook County, things are going to get very difficult.”

He also said that workforce hous-ing is an important issue, adding that its a problem not only with entry-level jobs but for management people when they come to Tillamook County.

Peterson touted the difference she says she’s made as Mayor of Bay City, including transforming an area that had streets in terrible repair to one with some of the better roads in the county, an accomplishment she said was done by adding a street mainte-nance fee. She, too, acknowledged the fiscal challenge the county is facing and pledged to streamline its effi-ciency.

“For 20 years, I’ve been looking for innovative ways for saving my city money,” she said. “We’ve got 130 em-ployees. I’ll talk to every one of them. There’s going to be ideas about effi-ciency, about ways to improve. There’s not a doubt in my mind that we can improve by 5 percent. Whether it’s about turning off the lights or making one trip instead of two there will be ideas that will make this county more efficient.”

PCJWSA considering options to fundwastewater treatment plant improvement

The story of how Annie and Oliver Warbucks found each other will be replayed April 27, 29 and 30 when Nestucca Jr.-Sr. High School students perform “Annie,” their 55th annual spring musical at the school.

The show, based on the comic strip “Little Orphan Annie” is a feel-good play set during the great depression that tells the story of orphan “Annie” finding a better life and in turn making billionaire Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks realize that life is about more than material wealth.

“We’ve done Annie before,” said director Kelli McMellon, who has worked on shows at NVHS since 2001, and at Tillamook Associa-tion for the Performing Arts for the same period as well. “It has the right requirements for casting, and it’s a fun musical with a positive mes-sage. I have a personal connection to the show because my uncle, Reed Shelton, was the first Daddy War-bucks in a production at NVHS in the 70s.”

The cast includes Jaykayla Jack-son as Annie, Ian Anderson as Oli-ver Warbucks, Morgan Kirkpatrick as Miss Hannigan, and Cameron Weger as Grace Farrell. Students will be in charge of almost all aspects of the show including performing, set design and construction, stage managing, lighting and sound.

“Rehearsals are going very well so we’re excited to open,” McMellon said. “It’s a great show for the whole family.”

An all-volunteer orchestra from all over the state of Oregon will provide the musical accompani-ment. A matinee performance will be on Wednesday, April 27, 11 a.m., and 7 p.m. evening shows will hit the stage on Friday, April 29 and Saturday, April 30.

Reservations are available at 503-392-3194, ext. 230 and general admission tickets are available at the door. Ticket prices are $10 reserved, $8 general admission for adults, and $5 for students. Chil-dren under 5 years old are free.

Nestucca students to perform ‘Annie’

A Cub Scout inter-est meeting will be held Tuesday, April 19, 7 p.m., at Nestucca Valley Elementary School. Both parents and boys are invited to attend. Boy Scout Troop 170 will be blasting water rockets as well. For more information, call Randy Winesburgh at 503-801-2757.

Parents hope to inject new life to Cub Scout pack

The Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority held a public workshop on April 5 to discuss a more equitable way to pay for the upcoming improvement to its wastewater treatment plant. Instead of a flat capital improvement charge for all customers, which has been called unfair by some given the higher use by commercial properties and vacation rental owners, they presented options based on water consumption and by customer type (residential, commercial and short-term rental).

The PCJWSA board said that after examining customer use habits, they had concerns that a consumption model could end up costing many users more because of their higher summer use. Still, some, including Pacific City resident Daryle Jimerson, supported this

idea.On the other hand, billing by cus-

tomer type would lower the burden on residential owners to a $20 increase in-stead of a $30 increase. Under this alter-native, commercial accounts would pay an additional $125 a month and short-term rentals an additional $60. However, there were some members of the public that worried that such a plan would put an unfair burden on small businesses. With that in mind, some suggested a hybrid of the consumption model and the billing by customer type plan.

The PCJWSA board is expected to make a final determination at its May 3 meeting, which will be held at 5 p.m. at the Authority’s conference room. For more information on the upgrade, visit www.pcjwsa.com or call 503-965-6636.

Nestucca Fire honors volunteersThe Nestucca Rural Fire Protection

District honored key contributions over the last year during its annual banquet on March 5 at Tillamook Elks Lodge.

For 2015, firefighter Roy Hansen was lauded as “Volunteer of the Year,” firefighter Laurie Caspell as “EMS Provider of the Year,” firefighter Kylie Rogers as “Rookie of the Year,” fire-fighter Tucker Slavens as “Firefighter of the Year,” and Captain Bill Slavens as “Officer of the Year.”

Nestucca Fire also awarded the Nesko Women’s Club and Nestucca Valley Lions Club for “Outstand-ing Community Service of the Year.” The organization also recognized its community service partners,, which included North Lincoln Fire & Rescue, Classic Air Medical Lifeguard 9, Tilla-mook County Sheriff’s Chaplains, and Tillamook Regional Medical Center and Ambulance.

A retirement plaque was given to Captain Jim Straessle for his 21 years of service.

Chief Kris Weiland told the Sun that the event is a chance for the dis-trict to recognize its volunteers for the hours of time and work they donate to the community. He said that to main-tain training requirements, volunteers attended more than 100 hours of train-ing last year – not including the many hours spent responding to the 848 calls Nestucca Fire responded to in 2015. Other undocumented volunteer time is logged when volunteers visit schools to promote fire prevention, install smoke detectors in homes, and participate in community events such as Clover’s Day, Dory Days, Neskowin Walkabout, an Easter egg hunt, and Christmas tree lighting ceremonies in both Pacific City and Cloverdale. Volunteers also assist with the South Tillamook County Christmas Basket Program.

Transfer Station debuts expanded hoursStarting April 15, the Pacific City

Transfer Station, which is operated by the Tillamook County Solid Waster De-partment, will be expanding its hours. Summer hours will be Friday and Saturday, 9 a.m.-4- p.m., and Sundays and Mondays 1-4 p.m.

The changes are, at least in part, in response to a survey last year that revealed that users’ most wanted day is Saturday, followed by Friday, Sunday and Monday, in order of preference.

Many of those participating in the survey that requested it to be open on Mondays were business owners.

Other changes since the survey include the acceptance of the fol-lowing materials: electronic waste, additional plastics, asphalt shingles, used cooking oil and, once the station receives a densifier, styrofoam. The station will continue to charge garbage on a weight basis with a minimum charge of $8.

SHIANA WEAVERfor the Sun

The Bobcats track team is off to a good start and recorded first- and second-place ef-

forts in several of the events at an April 7 meet at Nestucca.

The boys’ 4x100-meter relay team of Jesse Gard, Ryan Leslie, Cody Kirkendall, and Wyatt McKillip recorded a season’s best with a 48.0 run, good enough to net them first place.

The girls’ team was shorthanded because of injury and illness, but managed to win the relay. The 4x100 relay team of Willow Wood, Alyssa Morgan, Tea Chatelain and Jaykayla Jackson ran a season best of 54.4.

The boys also were tops in the 1,500 meter behind Raymond Cruz’s winning time of 4:44.5, who was followed closely by freshman Joe Wilkinson with a PR 4:51.2.

Wyatt McKillip came in second for the 110-meter high hurdles at 16.8, receiving another season’s best for the day. Cody Kirkendall took second with 46.6 for the 300-me-ter hurdles. For the girls, Jaykayla Jackson won the high hurdles going away at 17.2, with Jessica Bailey in fourth with a PR of 22.9.

For the coed 4x800 relay, Brad Shaw led off with what head coach John Elder calls “an outstanding 2:09 leg,” followed by Rachel Whittles, Payton Hopkins and Raymond Cruz to take the win.

The team then battled against Vernonia through three legs for the

4x400 relay. Brad Shaw blew the race wide open with a 54.5 anchor leg for Nestucca as Wyatt McKillip, Cody Kirkendall, and Raymond Cruz kept the ‘Cats in the lead for the win.

The team continued their win-ning streak in field events with Brett Elder winning all three throws, including a season best 170-7 in javelin, 50-4.5 in shot, and 155-2 in discus. Thelam Chavari won the jav-elin with a throw of 86-7, a PR, and was second in the discus at 80-3.

Freshman Josh Seals got a PR in both shot and high jump. Willow Wood won both the high jump (4-4) and triple jump (29-4) with Isabel Bruce coming up with three PRs for the meet (long jump, triple jump, and javelin).

Oli Samek had a two-foot PR in shot put for the boys and Alyssa Morgan won the pole vault at 8-0, and the shot at 30-1, both marks PR’s. Tess Buford had two PRs, one in the shot (23-1) and the other in the discus (60-0).

According to Elder, the pole vault saw some good jumping as Ryan Leslie won with a season best — 11-6. Luis Romero had a PR at 9-6 and Brad Zeller also PR’ed at 9-6.

Romero also won the triple jump with a PR of 36-1, defeating teammate Ryan Leslie who was 35-5. Alyssa Morgan also won the pole vault at 8-0. Payton Hopkins won the 1,500 at 5:42.3, with teammate Rachel Whittles in second at 5:50.2, a PR. Becca Ziegler also PR’ed at 6:54.2.

Lesson Learned the Hard Way? In search of a bigger police presence

A PAIR OF OREGON CITY JET SKIERS were able to avert the loss of their truck and jet ski on Saturday, April 9 thanks to the helping hands of doryman Don Grotjohn and tow truck driver Sher-win Jones of Shur-Win Enterprises. The couple had reloaded their jet ski aboard the trailer when the tow rig apparently dug itself into the soft sand and the in-coming tide began encircling the vehicle. During the extrication, Grotjohn used his SUV to help anchor Jones’s truck while he winched the sinking pickup and trailer. The vehicle driver declined to share his identity and story with the Sun.

TILLAMOOK COUNTY SHERIFF ANDY LONG will help lead a discussion on an enhanced sheriff ’s patrol during a town hall on Monday, April 18 co-sponsored by the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Pacific City-Woods Citizens Advisory Committee. The meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. at Kiawanda Commu-nity Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City.At the March 1 Chamber meeting, Long said that each deputy would cost approximately $79,000. Additionally, a vehicle and equipment would cost about $14,000. In Pacific City, if you as-sume the boundaries of the Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority, there is a tax assessed value of about $380 million. That number, Long said, would translate into costing taxpayers here about $0.28 per thousand of tax assessed value to fund each officer. In Neskowin, it would be slightly more owing to their lower total assessed value.

By VICKY HIRSCHof the Sun

The Thomas Goodwin Gallery, 34390 Hwy. 101 S in Cloverdale, will host a concert by folk singer and songwriter

David Roth on Sunday, April 24 at 5 p.m. Lo-cal folk artists Fred Bassett and Sonya Kazen will open the show.

With 13 CDs to his credit, Roth has played in venues throughout the United States and abroad for almost 30 years. His songwriting has been read or heard at such diverse places as the Kennedy Center, the United Nations, several “Chicken Soup for the Soul” books, Carnegie Hall, and Peter, Paul, & Mary concerts. One of his songs has even been played in space. In May 2009, his song “Rocket Science” went up on the Space Shuttle Atlantis’ mission to repair the Hubble Telescope.

When he comes to the Pacific North-west, he usually plays large venues in Portland and Seattle on the weekends, but also likes to play small gigs like the one in Cloverdale.

This marks the 13th year he has played in the Pacific City-Cloverdale area, with his first stint coming when he first played in Pacific City at the invitation of his friend Pat Rickert, playing a small intimate concert in her living room. He eventually met local musician Fred Bassett, who, along with wife Sonya Kazen, will be opening for him at the concert at Thomas Goodwin Gallery.

Roth says he enjoys returning for the concert every year, both because of his love for the area, and because he gets to play with Bassett, who has become a close friend.

In addition to his songwriting, singing, and record-ing activities, Roth has served as a keynote speaker, and workshop leader and instructor at events such as the Augusta Heritage workshops (West Virginia), Puget Sound Guitar Workshop (Washington), Swannanoa Gatherings (North Carolina), the Woods Music and Dance Camp (Ontario) and many more. He has also served as a songwriting judge at Eventide Arts (Massa-

chusetts), the Avalon Festival (West Virginia), and the South Florida Folk Festival, to name just a few.

Bassett began singing and songwriting in the 60s, but got more into it “later in life” he says. Kazen made her living as a vocalist both as a solo artist and with bands in the Portland area for many years.

Admission to the show is a suggested $10 dona-tion, but no one will be turned away. For more infor-mation about the show, call 971-257-0060 or to learn more about Roth, visit www.davidrothmusic.com.

Mehmet Sahin will be showcasing more than 200 of his magic carpets from Istanbul, Turkey when he hosts a show at Cloverdale’s Thomas Goodwin Gallery and Studio, April 29-May 1.

Hand-woven with pure, hand-spun wool, cotton, or silk, each piece hails from its original region. Gallery owner Thomas Goodwin hails the event as an “unusual opportunity to see this fine art form and share the vast knowledge that Mehmet will offer.”

Goodwin adds that each is a unique collectible and emphasizes that none are made by machine or of synthetic materials, and none produced via child labor.

Mehmet is from the Anatolia region of Turkey where sheep are raised naturally on organic farms. Goodwin says it’s an area where the sheep’s wool has supported a “beautiful, comfortable lifestyle for thou-sands of years.”

The Istanbul carpets, which range from 2- by 3-feet to 10 by 14-feet in size, will be available for sale during the show, as will refreshments and Turkish cof-fee.

The Thomas Goodwin Gallery and Studio is located on Highway 101 in downtown Cloverdale. For more information, visit thomasgoodwin.com or call 503-329-8345.

Thomas Goodwin Gallery to host Istanbul carpet show

FOLK ARTIST DAVID ROTH will play his 13th annual Oregon Coast concert on Saturday, April 24, 5 p.m. at the Thomas Good-win Gallery in downtown Cloverdale. Admission is $10 and the show will be opened by local musicians Fred Bassett and Sonya Kazen.

Sappington to play April 22concert at Stimulus Cafe

Musician Eric Sappington will return to Stimulus Espresso Cafe to play a two-hour set of original music on Friday, April 22, starting at 4 p.m.

The students at Neskowin Val-ley School will tackle the scaly topic of conflict in “The Reluctant

Dragon,” this year’s choice for the annual theatre production put on by the school. Limited seats are still available for the Friday, April 15 per-formance, which will include a sit-down dinner at 5:30 p.m.

“We will be serving English-style food,” said play di-rector Chad Muller. “There will be bangers and mash, probably a selec-tion of beer from the Pelican Pub, and definitely our gigan-tic organic salad.”

On Saturday, April 16, the 2 p.m. performance will be accompanied by an “Afternoon Tea,” which will include scones.

“The Reluctant Dragon” was writ-ten in 1898 by Kenneth Grahame, the well-known author of “The Wind in the Willows,” and was later adapted for the theatre by Kathryn Schultz Miller.

“It’s a really famous play,” Chad said. “It’s about a child who wishes for a conflict with a dragon, but this particular dragon is gentle and just wants to drink tea and make friends. It’s a celebration of life’s experiences; the kids have a great time and there are lots of life lessons.”

This is Chad’s second year direct-ing the play; last year he directed the school’s performance of “Alice in Nes-kowin.”

“Although I’m technically the direc-tor,” he said,“from the very beginning I’ve encouraged the kids to take an active role, so they are part of every part of the production.” And when Chad says every

part, he means it; the kids have even made script revisions. “We let the kids help with the script to make it more per-sonal,” he said. “If they make a sugges-tion that works, we definitely keep it in. They did it with ‘Alice in Neskowin’ too and they really enjoy it.”

Lead players in-clude Sophia Lambert as Widget.

“I played the caterpillar and Humpty Dumpty in ‘Alice in Neskowin,’” she said. “I was also in ‘The Secret Garden,’ so I don’t get that nervous any more.” Another seasoned actress is Lily Muller as Angus and the master guru.

“This is definitely not my first play,” Lily said. “I was in the ‘Secret Garden’, and

last year I played Alice in ‘Alice in Nes-kowin.’”

Appearing for the first time on the NVS stage will be Neri Tate as the Black Sheep and St. Georgina.

“Usually it’s St. George,” Chad said. “But we have a female in the role so it’s St. Georgina.”

Other lead actors are Løve Scanlan, as the reluctant dragon, Kai Wright as Hairytoes, Jameson Anderson as Scum-worth, and Ellisen Drayton, Maris Man-ning, and Gus Venti as the storytellers. Teacher Mike McGlinn appears as King Fancy Pants.

“Other cast members include all preschool through 2nd grade students,” said Head of School Kelley Ellis. “We also have handmade costumes and sets made by parents. Pretty much everyone gets involved for our annual production.”

Tickets for Friday’s performance are $20 for adults, $12 for kids. Tickets for Saturday’s performance are $7 for all ages. For tickets call 503-392-3124 or email [email protected].

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife invites new anglers to take part in its Family Fishing Event Saturday, April 16 at Hebo Lake from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event is free, and ODFW staff and volunteers will be on hand to assist youngsters who want to learn how to fish.

The lake will be stocked with over 3,000 rainbow trout just prior to the event.

ODFW will provide equipment in-cluding rods, reels and bait for use dur-ing the event if needed. Angling Educa-tion Instructors and volunteers will be present to answer questions and offer assistance to less experienced anglers.

“This is an excellent opportunity for anyone to discover fishing, or get reac-

quainted if they have been away from the sport for a while,” said Ron Rehn, STEP biologist for ODFW’s North Coast Watershed.

Under Oregon Sport Fishing Regu-lations, anglers ages 11 and under can fish for free while those 12-17 will need to have a juvenile angling license. All fishing regulations continue to apply during this event.

Hebo Lake is a 2-acre lake located 3 ½ miles east of the Hebo Ranger Sta-tion on the Hebo Mountain Road. From Hebo, take Hwy. 22 ¼ mile east, then turn left onto Forest Road 14. The U.S. Forest Service, which manages the lake and campground, will waive the $5 day use fee during this event. Overnight camping fees will continue to apply.

Avian adventures will be on the agenda when the 12th annual Pacific City Birding & Blues Fes-

tival returns April 29 through May 1 for three days of birding field trips, nature seminars, and live bird exhibitions, along with two night of blues music.

Birding & Blues Committee Chair Merrianne Hoffman shared what she thinks makes the festival unique.

“I think it’s the combination of the presentations that are inside and the field trips that are outdoors that kind of opens it up to birders and other people who are just interested in nature. It gives them an opportunity to learn in an environment that’s com-fortable,” she said. “Whether you’re into hiking or just want to be exposed to the presentations, there’s such a variety of information that is going to be available.”

The festival, which is presented by the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, starts with a free community Pub Talk entitled “Pelican Travels, Tribulations and So-cial Networking” at Pelican Pub & Brewery, 33180 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City. Wildlife biologist Deborah Jaques will share information on the Brown Pelicans commonly seen in this area, including what she has learned from social media about people’s relationships to pelicans.

Dr. John Marzluff, professor of Wildlife Science at University of Washingon, will deliver the keynote presentation on “Welcome to Subirdia: Sharing Our Neighborhoods with Wrens, Robins, Woodpeckers, and Other Wildlife.” He will draw from his most recent book “Welcome to Subirdia” (2014 Yale) to explain how suburbs and city parks can be rich in bird diversity and how people can plan their property and towns with that in mind. He says that suburbs may play a key role in preventing loss of species in the face of the dramatic disruption of climate change and other hu-man impacts. Marzluff currently teaches Orinthology, Governance and Conservation of Rare Species, Field Research in Yellowstone, and Natural and Cultural His-tory of Costa Rica.

Other festival presenters will include field biolo-gist and “professional bird enthusiast” Ram Papish on “Where Have All the Birds Gone?” Papish will look at population changes of Oregon Coast birds based on data from the annual Christmas Bird Count. In addition, Joshua K. Saranpaa, director of the Wildlife

Center of the North Coast will present a Rehabilitated Seabirds Program on Friday and Saturday. Attendees will get to meet and learn about some of the live seabirds that receive care at the sanctuary. There is no charge for the Friday program.

In another presentation, Coast-Watch volunteer coordinator Fawn Custer will deliver a talk on “Coast-Watch – The Things We Learn from a Walk on the Beach.” The presentation will begin indoors and end up on the beach. And in a Saturday talk, Wayne Hoffman of Mid Coast Watershed Council will share “The Unbelievable True Story of Perregrine Falcons,” the story of two Peregrine Falcons who began nesting at Yaquina Head in Newport, Oregon in 2011.

For those looking for tips on how to create a successful bird feeding environment in their yard, USFWS Oregon Coastal Refuge Complex visitor services manager Dawn Harris

will present “Bring the Birds to Your Backyard.”“As always, there’s going to be a beginning birding

session followed by a field trip. That’s a great way to get started if you’re new to it (birding),” Hoffman said. “I think the idea of being on a trip that’s led by an expert birder or naturalist is a very comfortable thing,”

Field trip locations vary from a five-hour 60-mile Three Capes Tour from Pacific City to Cape Meares Na-tional Wildlife Refuge and back again to areas such as Neskowin Marsh, Two Rivers Peninsula — a sneak peek at the newest addition to Nestucca Bay Refuge, and the shoreline and cliffs of Cape Kiwanda and Haystack Rock. Morning and sunset guided Kayak Nature Tours of the Nestucca River and estuary offer a different view from the water. New this year is the Pioneer Tour Trail, an opportunity to explore historic pioneer roads through parts of the Siuslaw National Forest. Some of the field trips will have an extra fee. To register for the kayak tours, call Nestucca Adventures at 503-965-0060 or e-mail [email protected].

Hoffman says the festival offers an atmosphere that’s friendly to newcomers and loved by returnees.

“It’s the quality of the trip leaders and presenters and also the small venue that we have,” she says. “It’s more intimate, yet you still have exposure to the best birders that are out there.”

Registration at www.BirdingandBlues.org is open through April 25 and space is limited. Packet pick-up and day of event registration is available starting at 3 p.m. on Friday, April 29 and 7 a.m. on April 30 and May 1.

True, “Birding by Day, Blues by Night” isn’t the motto of Pacific City’s Birding & Blues Festival,

but maybe it should be. After a day of birding field trips and presentations, festival attendees, and local townspeo-ple, too, have the opportunity to kick up their heels at two family-friendly blues concerts Friday, April 29 and Saturday, April 30 at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., in Pacific City.

The RockHounds start off the weekend on Friday, April 29 with a mix of blues standards and danceable classic rock songs. For almost 20 years the RockHounds have been one of the Northwest’s most popular classic rock and blues bands.

With band members from all over the United States, the RockHounds are a true American Band. Band members are Stan “Rusty” Cook (Oregon), Greg “Angel Lips” Sommers (Minnesoa), Kevin “Yah Brah” Kaneta (Hawaii), Craig “Crash-Boom-Bang” Cunningham (New York), and James “El Supremo” Scheidt (SA).

Franco Paletta & The Stingers will provide the entertainment on Saturday, April 30. Lead singer Franco Paletta broke into the Portland blues scene in the mid 80s. His unique vocals and dynamic harp style quickly made him a favorite blues personality in Portland.

Paletta’s unique vocal style let’s you know you are listening to a true blues-man.

“I don’t try to sound like anyone,” he says. “When people listen to me sing, they get pure Franco. I’ve been given a gift, and when I sing the blues, it’s my way of passing that on to someone else.”

His harmonica influences include

Paul Butterfield, Little Water Jacobs, Sonny Boy Williamson, James Cotton, Kim Wilson, Big Walter Horton, William Clark, and Rod Piazz.

“There are just so many great play-ers; I try to take a little from each of them,” he says.

Paletta has shared the stage with Portland Blues luminaries such as Paul DeLay, Curtis Salgado, and Lloyd Jones. In 2007, he won the Cascade Blues Association’s “Journey to Memphis” competition and represented the CBA at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee.

Franco has regularly played at fes-tivals around the Northwest, including the Waterfront Blues Festival in Portland, Oregon; Winthrop Blues Festival in Win-throp, Washington; the Tri-Cities Blues Festival in Walla-Walla, Washington; and the Biscuits and Blues Festival in San Francisco, California.

Both concerts start at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15, and $10 for ages 6 and under. A deluxe festival pass that includes admis-sion to the concerts is also available.

The Rinehart Clinic will be the first to host the Year of Well-ness Team Champion “travel-ing” trophy as the winner of the first Year of Wellness Challenge. The group was awarded the trophy on Saturday, April 2 and included Merry Dildine, Kris Ipock, Marge Josza, Alice Jef-fers, and Alice’s granddaughter, Maya.

But YOW officials say that they weren’t the only winners. All participants are entered into a variety of prize raffles, includ-ing a FitBit donated by Fred Meyer, a massage, Tillamook Coliseum movie tickets, Skout bars and much more.

The first session generated a lot of awareness about healthy behaviors. According to YOW, many people have noted posi-tive changes in their eating hab-its, amount of physical activity, sleep, water consumption and how they feel in general. YOW officials are also hearing from a lot of people who lost weight as a result of their participation. The individual with the most points was Alice Jeffers.

“The Year of Wellness has been life-changing for me,” commented Jeffers, who lost 35 pounds and won a FitBit to help keep her going on this journey toward better health.

Participants that achieved top 10 status were also entered into another raffle, and the winner of that prize (a YMCA or NCRD gift certificate) was Jim Jett. You do not have to be in the “top 10” to win prizes. Ses-sion #1 participant names drawn randomly were Lynn Stein, Emily Critelli, Evelyn VonFeldt and Amie Brown.

The team challenge winners, in order of total score were: 1) Rinehart Clinic; 2) OSU Extension Service; 3) Tillamook County Family YMCA; 4) Near Space Cor-poration; 5) Tillamook School District 9; 6) Tillamook County Library; 7) Tillamook County Health Dept.; 8) Tillamook County Transportation District; 9) Head-light-Herald; 10) Tillamook Regional Medical Center. And by highest average points: 1) TCCA; 2) Tillamook

Country Smoker; 3) Tillamook County Transportation District; 4) Rinehart Clinic; 5) OSU Extension Service; 6) Jenck Farms; 7) Tillamook County Library; 8) Til-lamook County Health Dept.; 9) Tillamook Estuaries Partnership; 10) Tillamook County Family YMCA.

More than 60 teams participated in Session #1, and nearly 400 individuals. Registration is now open at www.tillamookcountyhealthmatters.org for Session #2, which allows individuals and groups to participate in events and challenges, enter raffles and more. YOW now is allowing intra-organizational teams to partici-pate.

For April, the Monthly Mover program focus is on walking – which YOW bills as the best exercise for everybody. Participants can take a walk and then enter to win a $25 Visa gift card at North County Recreation District (NCRD), OSU Extension, or Stimulus Café. Check out NCRD’s “Walking the Walk” program on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:30-3:15 p.m. or join the OSU Extension “Walk with Ease” program on Mon-days, Wednesdays or Thursdays from 1:30-2:30 p.m.

Our Nestucca Valley Lions Club is having a great spring with informative meetings, fun parties and looking forward to the Oregon Lions annual convention.

We hope to initiate Harland Rayne, the owner-manager of the Dory Cafe at our next meeting. Welcome Harland to the biggest service organization in the world. Yeah! The Lions!!

Many Lions from here celebrated a going away party for longtime Lion Gus Peterson on April 4 at Tom Goodwin’s new, beautiful, very fancy Tom Goodwin Gallery & Studio. Gus was a little emotional about leaving for Wisconsin, but looks forward to living near his daughters, Ruby and Roberta, and truly outstanding grandkids. Gus and his late wife Lois moved here in about 1973 from Wisconsin with good friends Dr. Jim and Mary Lasley. About 50 friends attended the potluck dinner and music party. Again, best wishes from us all, Gus!!

On May 13th and 14th, many Oregon Lions will be at the 7 Feathers Casino near Canyonville. Several of us local Lions plan to be there. We hope to hit big jackpots down there! No, doubt we will!!!?? It’s great to be a Lion! See or call any Lion about membership. My number is 971-257-0200.

By PAT GEFREfor the Sun

First springer caught! Yes, although it was a wild spring salmon and had to be released, nonetheless it was the first one of the year for the Nestucca. There have been some scattered reports from the Trask River this week that a handful of springers have been caught there as well. The Nestucca springer was caught just below Farmer Creek on bobber and beads and a small bit of roe eggs. But don’t get too excited, at least not just yet — it is entirely possible we won’t see another spring salmon for a couple of weeks. You just never know.

Conditions in the river will affect the terms and conditions of further salmon surrendering to hook and line. For one, currently the ocean is warmer than the river and two, it is full of feed, so for spring salmon to give up a warmer ocean with a good food source, the river has to be more accommodating and come up in temperature 4 to 5 degrees. When the temperature conditions improve in the Nestucca River, salmon will start to mi-grate in better numbers and the fishery will finally take off. As a rule, May is a much better fishery than April, and June is the top month for north coast spring-ers. I would give it two to three weeks be-fore getting serious and spending much time trying to catch a springer, unless of course, you are one of those that just has to catch an early salmon.

Meanwhile, there are still fair num-bers of winter steelhead still around. Late comers are still showing up in small numbers and are mixed with downriver fish that have already spawned. Fishing for them hasn’t been too bad, mostly because the number of boaters has been significantly reduced. With the lower river levels, most of the effort has been concentrated in the lower river. First bridge to Cloverdale has been getting all the attention. Only those with pontoons or rafts can avail the upper river. Blaine

to First Bridge has been getting some attention from those fishermen, and I’m told there are still fair numbers of winter steelhead being caught in the upper river. With the lack of many boaters, the numbers seem to be just right for the remaining fishermen to get a few biters in all sections of the river.

Small piece of advice for jig fisher-men — jigs under a bobber are deadly for catching winter steelhead, but now that the water is lower and much clearer, some adjustment in your thinking is needed. When the water is higher and off color, bright colored jigs in pink, red, orange, and peach are the go-to colors. Now that the water is lower and clear, more muted colors such as black, dark brown, dark green are catching more fish. Size matters — in high water fish ¼ ounce jigs with more presence, in lower water fish 1/8 ounce or even 1/16 ounce and reduce the presence to get more bites.

Other good news: Some of the guides have reported catching a few summer steelhead. It’s early for those, too, but it’s nice to see some showing up in the catch.

This Saturday, April 16, 9 a.m.-4 p.m., the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife host their annual family fishing event at Hebo Lake. Instruction, fishing equipment, and bait are all provided at no cost. The lake has been fully stocked with catchable rainbow trout. Under Or-egon Sports Fishing Regulations, anglers ages 11 and under can fish for free (no license required) while those from ages 12-17 will need to have a juvenile angling license. All fishing regulations con-tinue to apply during the event. There is an eight-inch minimum length and a five-fish bag limit in place year round at Hebo Lake. Note: Those under 11 years of age can fish for trout without a license. However, if they are fishing for salmon or steelhead, they need a free fishing license and a juvenile reporting tag at a cost of $5 for the year.

Spring Into Pole PositionFishing options abound in Nestucca River, Hebo Lake

SPRING CHINOOK SALMON like this trophy caught last year are expected to re-turn to the Nestucca River soon.

Pioneer Trail Tour Leaders: Ken Chamberlain & Michelle Dragoo This trip will take birders over old pio-neer roads in the Coast Range combin-ing birding and biology along historic roadways. Old settlements disappear quickly in this environment, indiscernible

without a guide. Ruffed Grouses, Red-Breasted Sapsuckers, Wil-son’s Warblers, Cassin’s Vireos and American Dippers frequent the area. $25 additional fee. Limited to 20 people. Box lunch available for $10 extra.

Birding by Ear Leader: Ram Papish Most beginning birders identify birds by what they look like. After spending time in our lush, dense Northwest habitats, they realize that our fine-feathered friends are often easier to hear than see. This field trip will concentrate on listening for birds and identifying them by their songs and call notes. (But don’t worry; we’ll do some looking, too.)

Thanks to the hosting and orga-nizing efforts of Marilyn Bur-khardt and Wendy Thompson

of the Burkhardt Gallery in Cloverdale, the Tillamook Animal Shelter is just a little bit closer to meeting the needs of its new location just off Highway 101.

In total, $849 was raised by a combination of a percentage of April 2 art sales and a benefit concert held that same day, which featured the musical talents of Fred Bassett and Sonya Kazen. Marilyn Burkhardt told

the Sun that many guests throughout the day contributed. Sales of pottery donated by Lincoln City artist Michael Soeby were also a part of the total.

According to shelter volunteer Rebecca Hopkins, who shared her thanks during intermission, the monies will be used to help fund the installation of kennel walls at the shelter.

“I really appreciate Marilyn and Wendy putting this on and Fred and Sonya doing such a great job — I’ve

really enjoyed your music tonight,” she said. “This is so, so important and we really need all the help we can get. There’s a lot of work to do on the new property, and I really appreciate your support.”

Burkhardt said she organized the event because she is a self-identified animal lover and likes the idea of sup-porting a no-kill shelter.

“This was a really big success all the way around,” Burkhardt said. “We were really happy with it.”

Creative vibe, community spirit mark gallery opening

A BENEFIT CONCERT AT BURKHARDT GALLERY featuring Fred Bassett and Sonya Kazen helped to raise $849 for the Tillamook Animal Shelter on April 2. Also contributing to the donation were 20 percent of that day’s art sales, custom-er donations throughout the day, and proceeds from the sale of artwork by Michael Soeby.

THE MUSIC OF FIASCO helped to herald the grand opening of the Thomas Goodwin Gallery & Studio on Saturday, April 2 as an estimated 90 art lovers visited the new space at 34390 Highway 101 in downtown Cloverdale. “I was delighted at the number of people that showed up that seemed to be interested in what was happening in Cloverdale,” Thomas Goodwin told the Sun. “It was a beautiful day. People really enjoyed the space.” He said he also appreciated the fact that people visited both his gallery and the Marilyn Burkhardt Gallery across the street. “It made me happy to see Cloverdale so alive,” he said. Refreshments were served courtesy of Anne Speier. The Thomas Goodwin Gallery is open 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Friday through Sunday or by appointment. Call 503-329-8345 for more information.
