Onward to Miss Oregon
Contestants take
the stage at Miss
Clatsop County
Scholarship
Program
By Katherine Lacaze
EO Media Group
Five contestants will ad-
vance to the state stage after
winning titles at the Miss Clat-
sop County Scholarship Pro-
gram Saturday in Seaside.
Ryen Buys of Seaside
won the Miss Clatsop County
crown and Tess Rund of Asto-
ria is Miss North Coast.
Pageant weekend started
Friday, Feb. , with a bene¿t
dinner, which was a chance for
the 20 contestants to relax and
“have some fun” with fami-
ly and friends before starting
competition in full force, pro-
gram Director Sandy Newman
said. The dinner, attended by
about 200 people, also raised
money for scholarships. The
contestants gave two-minute
speeches on their platforms.
Interviews in front of judg-
ing panels were held Saturday
afternoon, ahead of the main
event that evening. During
the pageant, the contestants
competed in various catego-
ries, such as formal wear and
talent.
About 00 people attended
the event, which normally sells
out at 500.
This year, “I have add-
ed 250 (seats) because of the
number of contestants and the
caliber of the contestants,”
Newman said.
The pageant is the prelim-
inary competition of the Miss
Oregon Scholarship Program
and is part of the Miss America
Organization.

“It’s a pretty big deal,”
Bisping said. “We have a
high-quality curriculum and
we include our families in
every aspect of the center.”
Oregon’s Quality Rating
and Improvement System,
which programs choose to
participate in, is a partnership
with the state and Western
Oregon University. The rat-
ing system works to improve
the quality and consistency
of childcare and early learn-
ing programs — which play
a critical role in brain devel-
opment.
For a three-star rating,
a program must support all
children’s learning and de-
velopment through its cur-
riculum, follow a written
philosophy that de¿nes its
values and goals, perform an-
nual screenings on children,
and maintain an accessible
and appropriate indoor envi-
ronment. Star ratings are also
based on meeting standards
in health and safety, family
partnerships, personnel qual-
i¿cations, and administration
and business practices.
The Cannon Beach Pre-
school & Children’s Center,
a nonpro¿t founded in ,
aims to provide high-quality
childcare, early childhood
education and school prepa-
ration for children from six
weeks old to age 6. The pre-
school and children’s center
currently has six teachers
and 30 students from Cannon
Beach, Seaside, Garibaldi,
Manzanita and Gearhart, she
said. The center has separate
rooms for infants six weeks
to 2 years, toddlers ages 2 to
3 and preschoolers ages 3 to
6.
The curriculum, centered
on play and honing creativ-
ity, helps children build ¿ne
and gross motor skills and
supports cognitive and so-
cial-emotional development,
Bisping said. “We have am-
ple room for our children to
play and learn.”
The upcoming Savor
Cannon Beach Wine Walk
is a major fundraiser for the
children’s center.
“We’re an affordable op-
tion. We’re focused on our
students’ needs as opposed to
dollar signs,” Bisping said.
“We are not focused on how
many kids we can pack into
a classroom. We focus on the
children.”

Ryen Buys walks out into the spotlight after being crowned
Miss Clatsop County 2016 at the Seaside Civic and Conven-
tion Center.
For 3-year-old Taryn Mill-
er, of Scappoose, who won
Miss Columbia-Paci¿c’s Out-
standing Teen, the opportunity
to compete in Clatsop County
was a pleasure, as Columbia
County does not have its own
pageant.
“I’m super happy I can
compete here,” she said.
Miller said she enjoys the
whole pageant experience,
from gaining con¿dence to be
interviewed by several adults
to making friendships with the
other girls that endure beyond
the end of the night.
Most importantly, the pag-
eant is an opportunity for her
to promote her platform, “Lu-
pus — Raising Awareness.”
Miller’s mother has the auto-
immune disease.
“I just want everyone to
know what lupus is,” she said.
“It’s not curable, so by spread-
ing awareness and other people
helping out, I’m hoping we
will ¿nd a cure later on.”
The winners are …
lumbia-Paci¿c’s Outstanding
Teen titles, but not the Miss
Clatsop County’s Outstanding
Teen title, which was reserved
for Clatsop girls and won by
Caitlin +illman, 3, of Gear-
hart.
Nikkole Sasso, , of As-
toria, won Miss North Coast’s
Outstanding Teen.
Sasso started in the non-
competitive Princess program
when she was 5 years old. This
was her second year competing
in the program at the teen level.
She enjoyed the interview pro-
cess and “learning more about
myself and ¿guring out that
what I’m saying, people want
to hear,” she said.
Sasso not only promotes her
platform, the “Astoria Wishing
Tree Program,” but also volun-
teers with it, as well.
“It de¿nitely helps get
across the point if you’re very
active with (your platform),”
she said.

senior at Seaside High School,
did a cheer routine for her talent;
her platform is “Shriners Hos-
pital for Children: The Impor-
tance of Diagnosing Scoliosis.”
The Miss North Coast title
was won by Rund, 2, of As-
toria, who attends the Univer-
sity of Oregon. Her platform is
“The Ideal Body is Your Own.”
Of the 20 contestants com-
peting for the Miss or Out-
standing Teen titles at the pag-
eant, nine started in the Princess
program. Miss Clatsop County
Scholarship program is about
mentorship, said Newman,
who started volunteering with
the program in 2000. Just as
the contestants are required to
have a personal platform, she
said her own “personal plat-
form is mentoring to young
women and the future leaders
of tomorrow through the Miss
American Organization.”
The teenagers and young
women who competed in Clat-
sop County this year are “just
a great group of girls,” ac-
cording to Newman. From the
start, they have been prompt,
engaged and dedicated. Yet
Newman has seen growth and
development in con¿dence and
skills, as well, she said.
“For those lucky few who
actually win a title and do a
year of this, the growth is in-
credible,” she added.
With the ¿eld of county rep-
resentatives narrowed from 20
to ¿ve girls, Newman and oth-
ers now will help the contes-
tants prepare to take the stage
at the Miss Oregon Scholarship
pageant this summer at the
Seaside Civic and Convention
Center.
