TILLAMOOK COUNTY LIBRARIES will kick off a “Universe of Stories” summer reading program on June 10. Registration is open June 10-Aug. 3.
ooking for a place to buy fresh meats and produce, locally made arts and crafts, and listen to some live music at the same time? Then the Pacific City Farmers Market has got you covered Sundays, starting on June 16 and running through Sept. 29. The markets will take place 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on the grounds of the South Tillamook County Library, 6200 Camp St. in Pacific City. According to Farmers Market manager Dylan Vaughn, there will be a vendor offering chicken and lamb, as well as vendors with pasture raised pork, whole pastureraised chickens, and grass-fed beef. Fresh locally grown produce will be available such as tomatoes, beans, squash, asparagus, lettuce, celery, cucumbers, plants starts and berries and fruit when available. Local artisans will be offering a wide variety of handmade goods such as cutting boards, blankets, scarves, ceramic ornaments and pots, handbags and wallets, tie dye shirts, jewelry, driftwood succulents, soaps and oils, and hand-woven rugs. Nicola Harrison from Community Arts Project will be on hand to do arts projects with kids throughout the summer. She will have an art booth where children can interact and people can learn more about CAP. Vaughn said that Food Roots will also help local people get access to fresh produce by doing an EBT match. If a customer has $5 on EBT, they will receive a $10 token to use at the Farmers Market. Live music is always a fun addition to the PC Farmers Market, and this year they have a full slate scheduled. Opening up the market season on June 16 is ZUHG, fol-
The Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce is continuing to seek donations to help fund its fireworks display planned for July 4. As of June 5, the Chamber had raised just above $6,500 towards its original goal of $9,000. Though the amount raised is enough to trigger a $6,500 match promised by Pelican Brewing, fundraiser organizer Jessica Kleiver says more is needed to the balance of the cost to put on the actual display as well as the additional costs for disposal of remnants from the show, porta potties and security. The 4th of July Fireworks, which the group says will be twice as big as in previous years thanks to the promised matching contribution of the Pelican, will be set off at Bob Straub Park on dusk on the actual holiday instead of the evening of Clover’s Day as it has been in past years. To contribute to the fundraising effort, visit gofundme.com/helpsupportpacificcity2019fireworks. Checks can also be mailed to PCNV Chamber, PO Box 1078, Pacific City, OR 97135.

news&community HRSA $200,000 grant to help Tillamook Co. address addictions Northwest Medical Foundation of Tillamook, known locally as Adventist Health Tillamook, was recently awarded a $200,000 rural communities opioid response program-planning (RCORP-P) grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Over a one-year period, grant funding will support a local consortium in creating a sustainable and comprehensive community plan to address gaps and opportunities in Tillamook County’s access to services for addictions treatment and recovery. The planning process will also include strategies to strengthen the care provider workforce. Initial project consortium members include Adventist Health Tillamook, the Rinehart Clinic, Tillamook County Community Health Centers, Tillamook Family Counseling Center, and Tillamook Office of the Sheriff. Additional community partners will be invited to participate in the county-wide planning process as it gets underway. The Mission Integration Committee of the Adventist Health Tillamook’s governing board has been working with local partners on a plan to address a pressing community health need for access to treatment and recovery for addictions. This grant will enhance the scope and capacity of that initial plan, as well as facilitate future implementation projects identified in the new comprehensive strategic plan. “Adventist Health Tillamook is honored to be one of two RCORP-P grant recipients in the state of Oregon in this funding cycle,” shared Eric Swanson, executive director of strategy and business development. “This significant funding gives the Mission Integration Committee capacity to move forward in a new way, together with community partners, to inspire wholeness and hope by expanding treatment and recovery options for individuals experiencing substance use disorder and opioid use disorder.”

CAROLYN MCVICKER AND THOMAS DONOHUE narrowly won their races for seats on the Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority Board of Directors in the May 21 election. McVicker won Position No. 5 by four votes and Donohue took Position No. 3 by 16 votes.
Donohue, McVicker win close PCJWSA board of directors election Write-in candidate Thomas Donohue and incumbent Carolyn McVicker narrowly won their races to serve on the Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Board of Directors in the May 21 election. In final unofficial results, the margin was just 16 votes in the race for Position No. 3. Donohue received 169 of the 179 writein votes cast while Woods resident Mike Dill, the only candidate on the ballot, received 153. In the race for Position No. 5, McVicker finished just ahead of challenger Phillip Hurlimann, 186-182. Despite the slim margin, the vote does not qualify for an automatic recount as Oregon law stipulates that the margin of difference from the winning to second-place finisher can be no more than 0.2 percent of votes cast for both candidates. In this case, that would mean a difference of less than one vote. Tillamook County Clerk Tassi O’Neil said that she did double-check the count. “I want to thank the voters for coming out and

voting (and) I want to thank those that voted for me for another term,” McVicker told the Sun. “PCJWSA has had many recent successful accomplishments, but there’s more to do such as (developing) a water master plan and a sewer master plan that will provide information and direction in terms of (the Authority’s) next projects — whether they be new projects or major repair projects. I will do my utmost to continue to do my very best to serve the community going forward.” For his part, Donohue said that he was fascinated by how close both votes were. “As close as this thing was, it appears to me there’s a few bridges that need to be mended,” he said, adding he sees better communication as key to “smooth some ruffled feathers.” “I’m a pretty open fellow,” he added about the coming term. “I’m pretty open to people that want to talk to me on both sides of the political spectrum.”

PCJWSA Announcement: 6/7/2019
After twenty-nine years of dedicated service, Pacific City Joint Water – Sanitary Authority (PCJWSA) wishes to announce the retirement of Tony Owen, PCJWSA Authority Manager, a position he held since 1998 when PCJWSA was first formed. Under his leadership, PCJWSA has made significant improvements in drinking water quality and sewer discharge quality and advancements in infrastructure upgrades. Mr. Owen’s retirement will be effective at the end of 2019.
With his long-range thinking and commitment to the community, Mr. Owen has shepherded three major projects that will serve the community for decades to come: • Pacific City’s historic surface water source has been reclaimed, securing a safe and renewable source of drinking water.
• The 40-year old deteriorating wastewater treatment plant has been replaced with a state-of-the-art facility that will meet or exceed state and federal enviromental protection goals well into the future.
• And Mr. Owen has led PCJWSA’s effort to secure a long-term lease on 77 acres of land owned by BLM – providing recreational green space for the community and forestalling residential or commercial development should the parcel have been sold to a private party.
Few people appreciate the true nature of managing a facility as complicated as ours and the service Mr. Owen and the staff provide the community. Mr. Owen led not only the long-range planning, through development and implementation of master plans, but has also protected the community through his prompt response to emergencies as they have occurred. When the Airport Lift Station was flooded and required emergency replacement our Authority Manager had some challenging choices to make, staff time to redirect, and a never-ending string of meetings with engineers and with State and Federal authorities. This unexpected $1 million project was carried out without any disruption of service; in fact many in the community probably didn’t even realize what had happened. This was but one example of Mr. Owen’s unique ability to go from rain gear and flood management mode to negotiating building specifications with the FAA, the ODA, Oregon DEQ, and Tillamook County…all the while having the engineers on speed dial reviewing the technical specifications of the new pump and electrical systems.
Mr. Owen has managed the day-to-day operation of PCJWSA with a team of men and women who share his commitment to high quality service to the community. As a mark of his leadership there are several employees who have been with PCJWSA for 15-20 years. We are proud of their work and confident that our staff, who have joined the team in recent years, have a solid foundation to build on. They face constantly changing priorities while carrying out the routine functions of their jobs. We are fortunate that Mr. Owen has established this organizational climate through his management style over the years. As Mr. Owen embarks on retirement, PCJWSA salutes him for a stellar career in water and wastewater services and sincerely thanks him for his contribution to our organization and community. He has left an indelible mark on PCJWSA and his legacy will live on. Thank you, Tony Owen!
The Board of Directors and Mr. Owen will work together as PCJWSA moves into this transition period and recruits the next Authority Manager for PCJWSA. -PCJWSA Board of Directors
Pelican Brewing Company landed two gold medals from the International Beer Awards at the June 1 competition. The two medalists include Pelican’s highly-decorated flagship brew Kiwanda Cream Ale and a new draft-only creation, Coast Range Rye. Long the darling of Pelican’s yearround offerings, Kiwanda Cream Ale has now earned nearly 60 medals. Kiwanda Cream celebrates Cape Kiwanda, the starting point of the stunning Three Capes Scenic Route and the birthplace of Pelican Brewing Company. Inspired by one of America’s traditional 19th century beer styles, Kiwanda has a golden color, floral aroma, refreshing body and a clean, snappy finish. Brewers say that whether enjoyed with your toes in the sand at their oceanfront brewpub or in your own backyard, Kiwanda Cream Ale is proof that light colored beer can be both refreshing and inspiring. Coast Range Rye is a new draft-only creation brewed at the Pelican’s Cannon Beach brewpub — born at the beach, but made with the coastal mountains in mind. Much like the Coast Range, this beer is rustic, earthy, and soul satisfying, say brewers. With a floral hop nose and flavors of pumpernickel and graham cracker, followed by a pleasant bitterness, this beer is hailed as a journey for beer lover’s taste buds. A journey to misty mountain tops of the beautiful Coast Range, as well as unique and balanced flavors. Coast Range Rye will be available at all Pelican brewpubs and other select watering holes. Sanctioned by the North American Brewers Association, the International Beer Awards takes place in Idaho Falls, Idaho in conjunction with the Mountain Brewers Beer Fest. It is known as a unique industry competition that judges the best beers in the country by style guidelines. The event is conducted as a single blind
sampling followed by rank ordering of the entries within a style category. “Blind tasting competitions such as IBA are one of the ways that we get real, unbiased feedback on our beers and the North American Brewers Association does a fantastic job gathering a very talented crew of judges. Congratulations to the Pelican brewery team for their consistent creativity that produced these outstanding wins at IBA — coming home with two gold medals is a great honor,” said Jim Prinzing, CEO, Pelican Brewing Company. Pelican’s founding brewmaster, Darron Welch, continues to be one of the most decorated brewers in the Pacific Northwest, earning more than 450 medals including several gold honors last year alone at the World Beer Cup, Australian International Beer Awards and North American Beer Awards. Like all Pelican beers, Kiwanda Cream and Coast Range Rye are born at the beach by award-winning craft beer makers known for brewing styles of beer that they themselves love to drink. For a list of all of Pelican’s award-winning beers, visit pelicanbrewing.com. Pelican Brewing Company was born at the beach in 1996. And now 24 years later, Pelican Brewing Company is known as an iconic beach brand and one of the most decorated craft breweries in Oregon. Pelican has been honored with more than 450 awards including the prestigious 2015, 2016, 2017 Australian International Beer Awards Champion Medium International Brewery; 2014 World Beer Cup Champion Small Brewery; 2013 Great American Beer Festival Large Brewpub of the Year. Pelican operates brewing and brewpub facilities in Pacific City, Cannon Beach, and its “state-of-the-craft” brewery in Tillamook where it brews 40,000 barrels of award-winning beer annually and distributes to six states.

Bridge project to remove aquatic life barriers on Jewel Creek By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun
Date
T
he effort to improve fish and aquatic life barriers to Jewel Creek is now in its third and final phase. A project of the Nestucca, Neskowin and Sand Lakes Watersheds Council, the $500,000 effort began in early May and is replacing three aging culverts along Sand Lake Road with a 38-foot bridge. The project, which is expected to be completed by mid-August, is being funded by the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service and Tillamook County. As reported in the Nov. 10, 2017 issue of the Sun, the Council had also previously replaced two culverts upstream on Jewel Creek. Once completed, the project on Sand Lake Road will improve fish passage by providing an approximately 25-foot channel, which Watersheds Council coordinator Garshaw Amidi-Abraham says will be a significant improvement over the limited flow that the three, side-by-side, 42- by 60-inch corrugated metal elliptical culverts are providing. He added that those culverts have been 2/3rds or more filled with sediment. “They’re filled up with sediment, rock and they often get blocked with debris,” he said. “And it’s a flood hazard really for the road and adjacent property owners. You can imagine that having those three (culverts) side-by-side is problematic because it can get blocked up pretty easily.” The flood hazard is expected to be fully mitigated by the construction of the new bridge. The bottom of the bridge is being constructed 1 foot, 7 inches above the high-water mark for a 100-year flood event. With that in mind, Amidi-Abraham said the new bridge should be a benefit to motorists. “(It will be beneficial) not just to recreational motorists but for the Tillamook County economy as there’s a lot of trucks that go back and forth on that road.” The improvement for aquatic life is also expected to be significant. “The idea is that you’re taking out barriers that

A BRIDGE PROJECT at Jewel Creek aims to minimize barriers to fish passage by removing the three existing culverts and replacing them with a new bridge. block fish passage,” Amidi-Abraham said. “It’s important because a lot of salmonids and anadromous fish we have in our basin require certain habitat types to spawn, and a lot of these habitats are basically blocked off from decades — and a century or two —of road building and building of dams and other structures. Now, we’re going back and trying to make our infrastructures a little bit more fish friendly.” As of press time, excavation of the current roadway had been completed and work had been done creating a two-way bypass for motorists. As well, concrete bridge abutments, which will take a month to set, had been cast. Currently, end panels for the bridge are being constructed. Dewatering of the creek is scheduled for July 8. “We’re dewatering, and we’re reconstructing the whole streambed to make if fish friendly,” Amidi-Abraham explained. “The streambed is going to mimic what that stream exhibits naturally. The reason that’s important is because you need erosion and grade control structure to make sure that the correct natural gradient is maintained. You need the right kind of erosion and grade control structures. And you need the correct spawning gravels. You need the right sized gravels; you need the right shape.”

SLUG SOUP, a summer art camp put on by Community Arts Project, returns for its 24th year June 24-28. Held at Nestucca Valley Jr.-Sr. High School in Cloverdale, the camp offers art classes for students entering kindergarten through the sixth grade.
An Artistic Endeavor CAP’s ‘Slug Soup’ summer art camp promises to fuel creative minds, June 24-28
I
t may be a wrap on the 2018-19 school season, but that doesn’t mean it’s time for youngsters to stop broadening their horizons. Returning for its 24th incarnation on June 24-28 is the Community Arts Project’s “Slug Soup” summer art camp, a week-long foray that gives the chance for students of all abilities the opportunity to rub elbows with talented local artists and educators, have fun and learn something in the process. Held at Nestucca Jr.-Sr. High School in Cloverdale, the camp, which organizers bill as “Art for Young People with Unique Tastes,” is open to students entering kindergarten through the sixth grade and features a schedule of two classes each day with nine artists leading the instruction in 13 different morning and afternoon sessions. Registration, available at communityartsproject. net, is $40 per class for students living in the Nestucca Valley School District and $65 for those from outside the district. Materials are included with admission. Classes will include hands-on art experiences that range from watercolor to interactive ocean art installations, from Japanese plant sculpting and fantasy gardens to mosaics, wooden sculptures and acrylic 3-D paintings. Other classes will run the gamut from a class focusing on bugs and buggy artwork made of recyclables to one focusing on music and musical instrument making to making sellable doodling artwork. Attendees will also try their hand at making piñata sculptures, and, for that personal flair, self-portrait painting. “It’s a unique experience because class sizes are small and there’s lots of good one-on-one attention and problem-solving help,” says Nicola Harrison, executive director of CAP, who adds that the camp is unique because of the opportunity kids have to learn from working artists. She also hails the importance of learning art not just for its creative outlet but for the life lessons it teaches.
Page 8 • Pacific City SUN • June 7, 2019
“It helps kids navigate this really complex social life we’re living in,” she says. “It helps them find ways to express themselves, and, in doing so, they find a better sense of self.” At the end of the week, family and community members are invited to join Slug Soup participants for a celebration of the week’s creativity. The well attended party is on Friday, June 28, 2:30-3:30
SLUG SOUP art camp is billed as “Art for Young People with Unique Tastes.” p.m., when artwork exhibits, performances, and Grateful Bread cookies will be part of the celebration. “It’s a hands-on, fun setting,” Harrison says about the camp. “(Participants) have the freedom to be problem solvers and take risks. It’s fascinating that it’s become a family tradition for a lot of people. They plan their beginning summer vacation around Slug Soup.” Community Arts Project is a nonprofit, 501C3 organization and welcomes tax-deductible donations to help with scholarships and expenses associated with running this and other artbased programs and events in Tillamook County.

Interpretive hike to focus on Silverspot Butterfly The public is invited to an interpretive hike at the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge on Saturday, June 22, 9-11:30 a.m., to learn about the Refuge’s ongoing coastal prairie restoration and the reason for the restoration work — Oregon Silverspot Buttlerflies. Jointly led by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the Nestucca, Neskowin and Sand Lake Watersheds Council, the hike will feature a discussion on the restoration, which involves converting pastures currently consisting of non-native species into a native coastal grassland that will be more conducive to the Silverspot Butterfly. The Nestucca Bay NWR is one of the last remaining sites in the world for the
ESA-threatened Oregon Silverspot Butterfly. In response, the USFWS is working to improve their available habitat and increase early blue violet populations, which the Oregon Silverspot Butterfly relies upon for laying its eggs and as a food source during larval development. In 2017, the Oregon Zoo in Portland and the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle introduced captive raised butterflies to assist in repopulating the prairie. Those interested in participating in the educational hike should meet at Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge, Christiansen Road, Cloverdale, OR 97112 at 9 a.m. For more information, contact Caleb Mentzer at 541-513-2604 or assistant@nestuccawaters.org.

Cape Kiwanda RV Resort fetes 50 years of serving lodging guests in Pacific City By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun
O
ne of the longeststanding meccas for Pacific City family fun is celebrating half a century serving the community as Cape Kiwanda RV Resort marks 50 years of offering up a familyfriendly setting to those visiting the wonders of this little slice of the Oregon Coast. The resort began 50 years ago this month when Don and Marjorie Johnston purchased eight acres of sand dunes across from Cape Kiwanda and elected to open what was then known as Cape Kiwanda Campground and RV Park. The park was expanded in 1993 when family sons Marty and Ron Johnston purchased the neighboring parcel, which once Photo by Tim Hirsch housed Pacific City Boatworks.

‘Fiber Fridays’ program seeks to unite creative souls By VICKY HIRSCH of the Sun South Tillamook County Library will begin offering Fiber Fridays from 2-4 p.m. this summer for those who enjoy sewing, knitting, crocheting, or other fiber arts and for those who are interested in learning those skills. Envisioned by branch lead Courtney Remington and assistant Sally Moon as a social time for people to bring their crafts and work on them in the company of others, Fiber Fridays are opened to all skill levels including newbies. Remington said that both she and Moon would be able to teach sewing basics and crocheting to any that are interested in learning. Those that have a skill they would like to teach are encouraged to share with others.
“We’re hoping that if we get a good group we can all learn from each other,” Remington said. “We’re hoping we’ll get a couple of people to come in to get more ideas about what people will want in the future.” There will be a couple of sewing machines available and Remington is looking into the possibility of getting some crochet needles as well. “Mostly I think of knitting circles, crocheting, but I also like mending, fixing your clothes,” Moon said. “Mending used to be such a part of our culture. It’s definitely like a step back in time, fiber arts.” Paper crafts such as card making is welcome as well, Remington stated. The STCL is located at 6200 Camp St. in Pacific City.

Local scientist says asbestos-cement pipes represent little risk Pacific City resident and accomplished scientist Gene Johnson addressed concerns by some over the perceived dangers of the use of asbestos-cement pipe in the water delivery system of the Pacific City Joint WaterSanitary Authority during the agency’s Board of Directors meeting on June 4. As previously reported in the Sun, several residents have voiced their worries about the potential health hazards that could be caused by the use of this type of pipe, which Authority manager Tony Owen has said accounts for about 10 percent of its pipe used for water delivery to its customers in Pacific City. Johnson, who has been the chief scientific advisor to the Michael J. Fox Foundation, is an emeritus professor of neurology developmental biology at Washington University School of Medicine, has served as co-director of the Alzheimer Disease Research Center and is a fellow of the American Association of the Advancement of Science, presented findings he discovered while reviewing published literature on asbestos in drinking water. In his presentation, Johnson focused on whether published literature has presented reliable reasons to be concerned over the threat of cancer from asbestos in PCJWSA’s drinking water. In summary, he said that due to the non-detectable amounts of asbestos in the Authority’s drinking water together with the indecisive finding from relevant studies, he sees a low risk of cancer from consuming PCJWA’s drinking water. Non-detectable amounts of asbestos in drinking water is defined as less than 100,000 fibers of asbestos per liter of water. “My conclusion is that there’s no compelling or even particularly credible data that exposure to asbestos in drinking water cause any gastrointestinal cancer,” he said. “On the flip side, we cannot exclude the possibility that very high levels of asbestos could not cause a modest increase in the level of cancer of some form or another.” That, though, is not the current situation in the Authority’s water system. Rather, Johnson explained literature that suggested there could be some link between increased rates of cancer and asbestos in drinking water as evidenced by studies where the higher concentra-

tion of asbestos came from the water source rather than from the pipes. He referenced a study in San Francisco where he said the water supply had 10 to 100 million fibers of asbestos per liter, in which an increase in stomach cancer in men was noted but not in women. He also noted another one in Everett, Washington, which had water with source-derived asbestos contamination for many decades and an asbestos level of 200 million asbestos fibers per liter. In this case, he said, they did a case control study and they basically found nothing that they felt was a reliable signal of an increased cancer risk there. And, he said, the risk appears to be even lower in the case of asbestos-cement pipe derived concerns over asbestos in the water, which is the issue at hand for Pacific City residents. For this situation, he said he could only find three studies. “All three of those studies basically found nothing,” Johnson said. “Now, these studies are complicated and make us less secure by the fact that there was uncertainty as to how long people had been exposed to the asbestos, but many of these involved a respectable number of subjects in the control group and the exposed group in the order of tens of thousands. He said the bottom line is that, with all the studies, there is a lack of definitive evidence of either an increase in cancer rate or a complete voiding of any risk. “We cannot exclude that there may be an increase in cancer that would affect 1 in 100,000 people (in extreme cases), but I think what we can say with confidence is that among all the things in our environment which we are exposed (to), whether they are natural or man-made, the risk of asbestos in our drinking water — particularly at the levels that would come out of asbestos-cement pipes is so far down the list of our environmental threats that it’s well off the chart. “That said, I think we should monitor more frequently, but I have no concern. I’ll drink this water. My grandchildren will drink this water. I have no concern that the level of asbestos that could leech into the water from asbestos pipes, particularly if it’s detected and rectified within a reasonable amount of time, represents any reasonable risk to the public health of Pacific City.”

acific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority manager Tony Owen told the Sun that he informed the PCJWSA Board of Directors on Tuesday, June 4, during an executive session, that he will retire from his 29 years of service to the Authority by the end of 2019. He shared his decision with staff the following morning. “This is a very difficult decision for me to make, but I feel like it is the best overall decision for myself and my family,” Owen said. Owen’s service to the community of Pacific City began in May 1990 when he worked as the chief operator for the Pacific City Sanitary District. In 1998, when the sanitary and water districts combined into one Authority, he became its first — and so far only — manager. “I’ve been here for 29 years and I’m the Photo by Tim Hirsch only manager there’s PCJWSA MANAGER TONY OWEN has announced he been since inception in will retire by the end of 2019. 1998 when we combined evidenced by the zero applications it the water and sanitary has received for an assistant manager districts,” he said. “I think it’s time for position that was posted more than me to step aside and (have) somebody six months ago.

Tillamook County Libraries to kick off a “Universe of Stories’ summer reading program on June 10 By TIM HIRSCH for the Sun
F
ancy a good book? Want to earn valuable prizes while you’re at it? Then the South Tillamook County Library has something just for you! In conjunction with the Tillamook County Library system as a whole, the Pacific City branch is inviting readers of all ages to participate in its summer reading program, which kicks off on June 10 and runs all summer long. Registration will be open until Aug. 3 at tillabook.beanstack.org. With a theme of a “Universe of Stories,” just about any book goes for those looking to immerse themselves in a good read this summer. Three individual age-based programs — kids, teens and adults promise a wealth of prizes and events. A free book will also be given to both kids and teens when they receive their welcome packet. For the kids’ program, which is open to kids 0-12, participants are asked to either read for four hours or have 16 books read to them for the first prize — a second free book. For a second four hours of reading or 16 books read to them, they’ll get to choose from a treasure chest of items as well as another book, and for their final prize, earned by another four hours of reading or 18 books read to them, a t-shirt, a bracelet that serves as invitation to the end-ofprogram party and another book. In the teen program, readers will be asked to complete a BINGO card that they complete by reading a book for each letter. Once complete, they’ll earn a reflective drawstring bag filled with goodies and be entered into a grand
prize for one of three $100 Amazon gift cards. Part of the purpose of the program is to encourage kids to keep up on their reading skills during the lazy days of summer — and to do so in a fun way, says Courtney Remington, branch lead at South Tillamook County Library. Adults participating in the program will read five books to earn prizes ranging from tote bags to $5 off coupons for the Pacific City Farmers’ Market. They also will get their chance at a grand prize drawing for a season pass to the Tillamook County Fair. Special programs for the reading program will kick off on June 18 for teens with “Live Action Star Wars Clue” at 5 p.m. and on June 19 for kids with a showing of “Mary Poppins Returns” at 3 p.m. Additional kids’ programs will be Ultimate Lego Challenge (June 26), Dragon Theater Puppets (July 3), Drum Circle (July 10), Bug Chicks (July 17), Balloon Cup Shooters (July 24), Mr. Fantastic (July 31), Red Yarn, (Aug. 13, 3:30 p.m.), LEGOs (Aug. 21) and Game Day (Aug. 28). All programs are at 3 p.m. with the exception of Red Yarn. Follow-up teen events will be Tie Dye Tote Bags (June 25), LED ornaments (July 2), Drum Circle (July 10), Constellation Soup Can Lantern (July 16), Robotic Kit (July 30), Spaced Themed Scavenger Hunt & Alien Perler Bead Craft (Aug. 13) and Board Games (Aug. 20). All programs are at 5 p.m. For more information about the summer reading program, visit tillabook.org, call the library at 503-9656163 or visit the branch at 6200 Camp St., Pacific City.
