The meeting will take place at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., starting at 6:30 p.m. Hatton, a U.S. Marine since 1992, together with his assistant at the Tillamook County Veterans Service Diane Niflis, is responsible for easing the way to bring veterans home as they assist the 2,500 local veterans present in the county in obtaining state and federal veteran benefits. The most common
benefits that veterans obtain are health care, service connected disability compensation, pension, education, and VA home loan certificates of eligibility. At the end of life, Hatton and Niflis assist family members to obtain federal burial benefits if the veteran meets the basic benefit requirement.

Community shares its love
Dark thriller ‘Edge of Darkness’ opens Jan. 12
Tuesday Stitchers add to Love Bag program with gift of 30 quilts By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun
E
veryone can you use a little love in their life — especially when times are tough. And that’s where the Love Bags program steps in. Now in its third year, the program, which is connected with the South County Good Neighbors Program, distributes the bags to needy seniors and disabled in the community. This year the bags included a special treat courtesy of the Tuesday Stitchers, who donated 30 quilts to the program on Dec. 12. The bags were delivered the weekend before Christmas. “It was amazing — they were beautiful,” said Joanne Waters, who runs the Love Bags program. “That was just an overwhelming contribution this year. It was one of our big items.” With donations coming in all year and hailing from all over — including Oregon, Washington, Colorado and Utah, Waters says the Love Bags are an extension of the love that people have for the community. “The things that come in, come from the heart,” she said. “They’re just gifts of love — of sharing and caring.” And Karin Twedt of the Tuesday Stitchers shared a similar sentiment. “The inspiration (for our gift of quilts) is just that this town all works together,” she said. “(Joanne) had put the word out that they needed some quilts or afghans, and we had heard about it and offered our quilts to them.”

THE TUESDAY STITCHERS recently donated 30 quilts to the Love Bags program, which distributes bags to seniors and disabled people in the community. Waters said the Love Bags program not only sends their care in the form a huge variety of items, but also makes an effort to reach out. “It’s more of a casual one-on-one (time than just a) delivery,” she added. “People stay and visit with the recipients when they can. It’s nice to visit with them and spend some time.” The Tuesday Stitchers consists of a group of 60, of which 25-35 meet every Tuesday at the Kiawanda Community Center to craft quilts. Each quilt takes about 200 to 300 hours to make. While they do make some for their own personal use, their focus is on helping others. Originally started to give quilts to the Alexander Ellis Caring Cabin more than 17 years ago, the group has now
donated more than 1,200 quilts to the cabin, which serves children suffering from terminal illnesses or going through chemo therapy. They continue to make approximately 100 quilts a year for the cabin. They also assemble “healing quilts” for those in the community going through a serious or life-threatening illness. To date, they have contributed more than 300 quilts through this branch of their mission. To find out more about the Love Bags program, which accepts donations all year, contact Joanne Waters at 503-9656320. For more information about the Tuesday Stitchers, who are also accepting contributions to help offset the cost of quilt making, call Karin Twedt at 503-8010410.
“The Edge of Darkness” sounds like a pretty ominous title for a play, until you find out it’s a psychological thriller written by the talented Brian Clemens. Directed by Steele Fleisher, the Tillamook Association of Performing Arts production opens Jan. 12th and runs through Jan. 27. This dark and sinister thriller is set in the early days of the 1900s, with a daughter who has amnesia and a fear of knives and silver bells…but why? Who is the mysterious handyman, what secrets are the parents hiding, and why does the young woman sleepwalk...while talking fluent Russian? From an expert at the art of thriller writing with more than 50 years of screenwriting experience, TAPA bills the production as an excellent entertainment for the dark winter nights of January. Friday and Saturday shows start at 7 p.m., Sunday shows start at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 per person and available at Diamond Art Jewelers, 503-842-7940. For more information, email info@tillamooktheater. com or find them on Facebook. Celebrating more than 35 years in Tillamook, TAPA is a nonprofit community theater dedicated to providing high quality performing arts experiences through entertainment, education, and community participation. TAPA’s Barn Community Playhouse is located at 1204 Ivy St, on the corner of 12th and Ivy, adjacent to Les Schwab Tires.

Work progressing on wastewater treatment plant
Lunker to play Jan. 6 fundraiser for NVCA park at Sportsman’s
By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun
C
onstruction is in full swing on Pacific City Joint WaterSanitary Authority’s $10.7 million improvement to its wastewater treatment plant. Construction for the project, which is funded by the sale of revenue bonds financed by an increase in user rates in combination with a $2 million grant from USDA Rural Development, began in November. As of press time, excavation was underway for the construction of new treatment basins where a new Sequencer Batch Reactor will be installed, the plant’s main power has been rerouted so that it wouldn’t go underneath the basin under construction, and pipes, which were originally at a future construction site, have been bypassed. PCJWSA manager Tony Owen said that the majority of the work has been focused at the treatment basin site where contractors are currently digging down to the subgrade level to prepare for the digging of trenches for piping and for foundation work. The bypassing was necessary as they were — and still are via the bypass — servicing both the Authority’s airport pump station as well as a lift station that takes in all the sewage north of the treatment plant. “So far, things are going really well,” Owen said. “I’m very pleased with the contractor, McLure & Sons. They’re very professional, and they
The progressive rock, funk and fusion band Lunker will play a benefit concert at Sportsman’s Pub-n-Grub on Saturday, Jan. 6, starting at 9:30 p.m., with proceeds going to help raise money for the community park near Cape Kiwanda that Nestucca Valley Community Alliance is currently developing. The band features the musical talents of vocalist Jesse Lewis, guitarist Jerod Smith, bassist Josh Venti and drummer Chad Larimore. The 2.4-acre community park, which will be located just east of Cape Kiwanda, currently only features a parking lot that was used for overflow parking this past summer, but plans are underway to add a skate park, picnic benches, covered area, playground, restrooms, outdoor amphitheater, interpretative center, and trailhead access. For more information about NVCA, its park plans and educational efforts, visit www. nestucca.org. Sportsman’s Pub-n-Grub is located at 34975 Brooten Rd., Pacific City. For more information, call 503965-9991.
Commissioners to host discussion on future of Pacific City State Airport Sen. Arnie Roblan and Rep. David Gomberg, together with Tillamook County Commissioners, will be hosting a panel dicussion Monday, Jan. 8, 5-7 p.m., at Kiawanda Community Center, in an effort to solicit community feedback on the possibility of the Oregon Department of Aviation selling Pacific City State Airport to a local citizen who has pledged to keep the airport open. At the meeting, Oregon Department of Aviation staff will be on hand to answer questions about the possibility of running the landing strip as a private airport. Part-time resident Kurt Bruun, who approached the department following a 2012 community meeting discussing the continued viability of the airport, has said he is willing to pay for the $20,000-$30,000 annual maintenance cost to keep the airport open.

Strong Women & Strong People Programs return Jan. 22 The OSU Extension Service in Tillamook will offer the “Strong Women & Strong People Programs,” a strengthtraining program for middle-aged and older adults, beginning the week of Jan. 22. The programs run through the end of March. The women-based programs will take place at the OSU Extension Office, 4506 Third Street in Tillamook, and be held at 8 a.m., noon and 1:30 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The Netarts class, open to both men and women, will be held Tuesday and Thursday mornings, 9-10 a.m. Weights will be provided. Participants should wear comfortable clothing and athletic shoes. Registration is recommended one week prior to the program as classes are limited to 16 participants per session, on a first-come, first-serve basis. To register, visit http://bit.ly/TillamookFamilyHealth. When registering online, new participants must complete the required
screening and enrollment forms and pay the $30 registration fee with a credit/ debit card or bring their cash payment to the OSU Extension Office, 4506 Third Street, Tillamook. Those older than age 70 or those with other chronic health conditions must obtain a release from their medical provider before beginning. All new participants attending sessions at the OSU Extension Office must attend the mandatory orientation on Friday, Jan. 19th, 10:30-11:30 a.m. or schedule an appointment with the program coordinator, Nancy Kershaw, 503-842-3433, prior to beginning the program. The Strong Women & People Programs were developed at Tufts University, based upon research on how strength training improves the health of older adults. Research shows strength training improves bone density, reduces falls, improves arthritis symptoms, and increases flexibility and strength.

Public-private debate over airport continues By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

That was the central question during a discussion on the future of the Pacific City State Airport held during the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce’s monthly meeting on Jan. 2. A panel featuring members of the Oregon Department of Aviation, together with a representative of the pilot community, led the discussion on how — and by whom — the airport Photo by Tim Hirsch will be managed in the future.

Libraries now offering Mango Languages courses Tillamook County Libraries are now offering Mango Languages, an online language-learning system to patrons. Mango is free to any patron with a Tillamook County Library card and an Internet connection. Each lesson combines real life situations and audio from native speakers with simple, clear instructions. The courses are presented with an appreciation for cultural nuance and real-world application by focusing on the four key elements of language learning — vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar and culture. Mango offers access to 71 foreign language courses and 21 English courses taught completely in a user’s native language. In addition to traditional language courses, Mango also offers the
opportunity to learn through foreign film with Mango Premiere and access to a variety of specialty mini courses, like Pirate, Medical Spanish and romance courses. Mango can be accessed at any Tillamook County Library branch, remotely, or even on-the-go with apps for iPhone, Android, Kindle and Nook. To learn more about Mango, patrons are invited to stop by the Tillamook County Library on Friday afternoons during the month of January from 1-3 p.m. when they can sip a glass of mango juice and enter to win a 64-ounce bottle of mango juice and a new Fodor’s travel book. Library card holders can access Mango at tillabook. org. For more information, call 503-8424792, ext. 1708.
Pioneer Museum talk to address middle class, wealth As part of the Oregon Humanities’ Conversation Project series, Tillamook County Pioneer Museum will host “The Middle Class and Other Stories about Wealth, Status and Power,” a Jan. 20 presentation by Adam Davis, executive director of Oregon Humanities. During the 1 p.m. conversation, Davis will delve into how people think and talk about class in Oregon and in the nation. Topics to be addressed will include what exactly is the middle class, who does it include and exclude, and why does it get so much attention? Other issues that will be discussed include the extent people can talk about class without talking about race, ethnicity, and cultural background; the measures and markers that help us recognize class; and the extent class is useful for seeing the state, our neighbors, and ourselves.
This Conversation Project program is free and open to the public. In his previous role as director of the Center for Civic Reflection, Davis designed and implemented “Justice Talking/The Meaning of Service,” a nationwide discussion program for AmeriCorps, VISTA, and other service organizations. Davis has given keynotes and published articles on service, volunteering, and leadership, and facilitated workshops at the National Conference on Volunteering and Service and other national and regional conferences. He has edited “Taking Action” and co-edited “The Civically Engaged Reader.” The Conversation Project is funded by TCPM’s Daisy Fund and Oregon Humanities, which connects Oregonians to ideas that change lives and transform communities.

‘Perspective’ art event to feature five local artists, music and drink on Friday, Jan. 12
A
n evening of art, music, food and drink will be on the menu at the Kiawanda Community Center on Friday, Jan. 12, 5-8 p.m. when the art show “Perspective” will feature five local artists, as well as guitarist Richard Paris. Organized by artist Sara Larson, who specializes in subtle yet abstract paintings, the event also features the work of Acacia Hagenson, Tony Branz, Lynne Wintermute and Elizabeth Winters. Each artist will be showing pieces around the perspective theme — whether that be literal, personal, social or political. Larson says that having a theme such as this is a great way to unite artists with the public. “What I love about doing these shows is just bringing a different way of viewing art to the public,” she said. “Having this form of interaction really lets the artist and the viewer really have a great conversation. And it’s really nice to have an event where the community can give you feedback on your work.” Included in the $10 admission will be a raffle ticket for drawing for an art piece from each artist. Proceeds from the admission sales will benefit the Center, which is located at 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City. Admission also will include two drink tickets for wine provided by Ransom House Wine or beer provided by Rogue Brewery. Nonalcoholic beverages, as well as food provided by Oar House Restaurant & Lounge and Mag Pies will also be included in admission. Larson focuses on abstract landscapes and figures and uses images to inspire emotion in the viewer. She says that during her process, she makes it a point to not know how it will turn out. “Each piece takes its own journey to completion separate from the others,” she says. “I want my art to have a pres-
ence in a room, not to be a side note in décor,” she says. Hagenson’s work spans from the figurative to the abstract. “I want my paint to carry my energy, and I want people to feel it the way I feel them,” she says about her work. “It’s the unknown, and the never ending chance of change and discovery that gives (my) work its breadth.” Wintermute started painting full time in 2010 and continues to grow in her style and technique. The Pacific City artist has studied pastel painting with Marla Bagetta and Teresa Saia and acrylic paintings with Lori Latham, Lana Grow, Marlana Stoddard-Hays, and Ruth Armitage among others. Branz studied painting and drawing at the University of Southern Illinois. The physical world — faces, bodies, objects, nature — inspires much of his work. His aesthetic and method are sometimes referred to as art brut or outsider art. As a sculptor, painter and miniature artisan, Winters has found her inspiration in Tillamook County where she was born and raised. Subjects surrounding fantasy, dream worlds and interpretations of the natural world find homes in her pieces. “Art has been my constant companion since I was old enough to hold a pencil. I am a mother, wife, adventurer, and dreamer,” she says. “Making art is my way of communicating interpretation of the world to other people. I love making fantasy art and art that relates to the inner mind and person.” Setting the tone for the evening will be Richard Paris, whose acoustic set Larson describes as a folky, blues-grass mixture. For more information on the Perspective art show, contact Sara Larson at gotart.saralarson@gmail.com.
Child safety seat checks are also available in Tillamook, January 15 and 18 and in other clinics by appointment. Call Kerrin Swanson RN at (503) 815-7561 to set up a time.
