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.
