Staggenborg is Citizen of the Year
As we head into the new mil­
lennium, the Vernonia Jam­
boree Citizen of the Year for
2000 is none other than the
person who has given lots of
time during the past four years
to head up the many responsi­
bilities of the Jamboree com-'
mittee — Treasa Staggenborg.
As president of the committee
she has had to oversee the nu­
merous committees and activi­
ties which make this annual
event a successful community
celebration.
Treasa and her husband,
Craig, moved to Vernonia ten
years ago to take over as dis­
tributors of The Oregonian. In
that capacity, they rise every
day at 3:00 a.m. to pick up the
papers in Clatskanie. They di­
vide the papers, and each
spends about four hours, deliv­
ering the morning paper to sub­
scribers before breakfast.
The Staggenborgs also
bought, remodeled and gave a
new life to an old, barely stand­
ing hotel, a relic from the ‘20s
when Vernonia was a boom
town. They gutted the interior
and built modern motel rooms
with outside entrances, elimi­
nating the old central hall of the
hotel. In March of ‘96, after
three years of hard work, the
grand opening of the Vernonia
Inn Bed & Breakfast revealed
15 rooms, some with hot tubs,
a suite with a hot tub and pri­
vate balcony, and an inviting
lobby. The inn’s exterior, with
its balccnies and soft yellow
and white color scheme, has
provided the community with a
classic beauty in place of a
derelict.
In her “spare time,” Treasa
is also involved in other com­
munity and school activities.
She and Craig have two chil­
dren in local schools.
