Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge’s hiking trails above the first parking lot along Christensen Road will be closed to all public access from Oct. 1-5. The upper parking lot for the Two Rivers and Pacific View trailheads will be paved during this time. The closure is necessary to ensure public safety as there will be heavy equipment in operation blocking the road and trailheads.

NESTUCCA RURAL FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT Fire Chief Jim Oeder is drafting a levy proposal to add more paid firefighter positions in order to keep up with an increase in service calls. press time, he said that the goal is to push full-time paid staff to 12, which would allow the district to have three full-time staff in addition to a duty officer — in three eight-hour shifts — 24 hours a day all year long. The district currently only has six full-time firefighters, including Oeder. To accomplish this, he said he expects the cost would be approximately $3.6 million for a five-year levy. He added that he hopes to have the proposal in front of voters in time for the May 2019 election. This would allow it to be enacted, if passed, before its 2019-20 fiscal year, which begins July 1. Oeder said the plans will be to develop two budgets for the 2019-20 fiscal year — one with and one without the new funds from the levy. The district is currently operating with an approximately $1.1 million operating budget, $532,399 of which is allocated for personnel services. Oeder said he expects to have final numbers ready to share with the
community by the end of September, at which time he will distribute an information sheet and plan community meetings to educate the public about the need for the levy. Amongst the goals of adding new emergency service personnel is to reduce the average response time. Oeder said that four to five years ago, the district was responding to 80 percent of its calls within the national standard of 13 minutes. “Now, we’re probably down to 75 percent because of getting multiple calls at the same time,” he said. “We want to get back up to where we’re meeting the national standard. We’re getting two or three calls at the same time — one might be in Neskowin and one might be in Beaver — it’s putting a real strain on our ability to respond and respond in adequate time.” “We need to be able to provide the care and support of this community that everybody’s accustomed to,” Oeder told the Chamber.

ore people, more calls, more need. That sums up the challenges to the Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District as it seeks to continue adequate services to its large district, a district that stretches across 27 miles of Highway 101, includes six stations and is responsible for 125 square miles of protected area and services 350 square miles of Tillamook County. Fire Chief Jim Oeder told the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce on Sept. 4 that as of that date the district had served on 612 calls during 2018, a significant increase over the previous year when it took until the last week of September for the district to hit the 600-call mark. In total, the district went on 787 calls in 2017. On Sept. 13, he updated those figures during an interview with the Sun. He said the district had served 640 calls as of that date. In order to not eclipse last year’s mark, the district would have to only have about 1.4 calls per day from now until the end of the year. The district averages 3-4 calls per day. “It’s probably going to put us somewhere (around) 850 to 900 calls by the end of year,” he said. Because of this, coupled with a downturn in volunteers, he said the district is looking at asking voters to support a levy. “Volunteers used to be four to five times more than full-time personnel,” Oeder told the Chamber. “That number is shrinking fast. The biggest problem we’re seeing right now is we might see two, three, four calls at the same time. We’re running our people into the ground.” If the district does go out for a levy, they won’t be the first in this general area along the coast. North Lincoln & Rescue passed one last year enabling that district to hire more personnel. While Oeder had not pinned down exact numbers for a levy proposal at

CAC to vote on changes to bylaws The Pacific City-Woods Citizen Advisory Committee will vote on proposed amended bylaws at their monthly meeting on Monday, Sept. 17, 6:30 p.m., at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City. The changes center around altering the meeting schedule to a quarterly schedule rather than a monthly format as well as merging the vice-chair/ treasurer position into one position as the CAC no longer has a bank account. Another minor modification being proposed is renaming unscheduled meetings to “special meetings.” Previ-
ously, the CAC has labeled unscheduled meetings as “emergency meetings.” The group will also host guest speaker Tom Messenger, who will speak on a grassroots movement to lobby ODOT to develop passing lanes on Highway 6 between Tillamook and Banks. Other agenda items include updates from the County Parks Advisory Committee, Roads Advisory Committee, and the Pacific City-Woods Parking Management Plan. For more information about the CAC, visit pcwoodscac.org.

TALKBACK We Commit to Positive Campaigns To the Editor: In a time when state and national politics have hit an all-time low in terms of civility and mutual respect, we want our campaigns for Tillamook County Commissioner to be positive. We are committed to running campaigns based on issues and not character assassination. This commitment to one another and to Tillamook County voters is reflective of our personal values and we believe it reflects the values of our community. We may not be able to engineer a return to civility in politics at a national level, but we can start at home. We will not attack each other in word, in print or in deed. We ask our well-intentioned supporters to help us to run clean campaigns by sharing positive messages about the candidate you support. Neither of us is running shadow campaigns where we let our supporters do the dirty work and appear to keep our hands clean. We are denouncing dirty work in this campaign. The truth is that Tillamook County is a small community, we are connected to one another in many cases by a few short steps. This is our home. Our families and friends live here. Neither of us wants to win by being ugly. Neither of us wants our families, friends or coworkers to open the pages of the local paper to see personal attacks against us. We don’t want to burn bridges with one another or with each other’s supporters. We anticipate that we will have many opportunities to collaborate on public service projects in the future and we want to maintain a good working relationship. Moreover, we like and respect each other. In fact, we are praying for each other in this election and praying for the highest good for our community. As a point of interest, we will put our campaign signs out again after
Labor Day. There isn’t a rule against leaving signs up between the primary and general elections, and some of our supporters have kept signs up from the primary election, but there is a local tradition of taking them down over the summer and putting them back up in the fall. Thank you for voting in the November election. Mary Faith Bell and Adam Schwend Candidates for Tillamook County Commissioner
Schwend touted for his varied experience We have the opportunity to elect a commissioner that will fight for Tillamook County. Whether it’s public safety, getting our county budget in order, cutting red tape to allow new housing to be built to support our work force, or protecting the jobs in the farming, fishing and timber industries that built our community, Adam Schwend is hands-down the best choice. Adam has the experience that’s needed, working with other leaders in Tillamook County and in Salem to ensure our rural economy and way of life aren’t swallowed up by the desires of the valley. Whether it’s in business, the arts, government or anything else, Adam has a knack for building partnerships and not allowing decisions to made in a government bubble, but as a community, making sure everyone has a seat at the table. We’ll be lucky to have Adam working for us. I’m excited to cast my vote for him! Diane Cross Beaver

PARKING issues in Pacific City and developing a parking manangement plan to address them will be discussed during a Parking Management Plan Town Hall to be held Wednesday, Sept. 19, 6 p.m. at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City.
Parking Management Plan to be addressed at Sept. 19 town hall Tillamook County officials are inviting the public to attend its Pacific City/ Woods Parking Management Town Hall on Wednesday, Sept. 19, starting at 6 p.m., at Kiawanda Community Center. The meeting will address the development of a parking management plan for the Pacific City-Woods area. According to Tillamook County, the plan, which is part of the Transient Lodging Tax funded Cape Kiwanda Master Plan, will identify preferred policies and strategies to address parking issues, develop a phased approach and implementation schedule, determine cost estimates and evaluate potential funding sources. In a Pacific City/Woods Parking Study conducted on Tuesday, July 24 and Saturday, July 28 by project lead Kittelson & Associates, Inc. a number of things were looked at including off- and on-street parking supply as well as parking demand. Released on Aug. 31, the study revealed a total of 554 spaces available off street — 27 percent of which are at Tillamook County’s parking lot at Cape Kiwanda and 223 on-street spaces, 90 of which are on Cape Kiwanda Drive. The figures do not include parking on the beach, but do include those available in Tierra Del Mar. The results of the Saturday survey showed that parking occupancy in the parking lots increases throughout the day with peak occupancy at 80 percent at 2 p.m. At the Cape Kiwanda Parking Lot, occupancy exceeded maximum capacity (105 percent) between 1 and 3 p.m. during the Saturday survey. As well,
Pacific City
both the Nestucca Valley Community Association and Pacific City Turnaround parking lot had a peak capacity of 100 percent. The survey also looked at average length of stay for each vehicle. The study found that though the duration of stay varies by lot and street, the time each vehicle is parked tends to be less than three hours. The turnover rate — the number of vehicles using each space per day — was under three vehicles per day. Other items noted by Kittelson in the Aug. 31 report included the observation that cars began to double park behind other vehicles in the non-dedicated area in the northeast corner of the Cape Kiwanda Parking Lot when it began to fill past 100 percent occupancy, and that vehicles parked in a nonparking zone on Cape Kiwanda Drive north of Circle Drive. Kittelson also noted that sand infiltration impacts several on- and offstreet parking facilities. Potential strategies identified by the survey as possible solutions moving forward include improved maintenance, wayfinding, circulation in existing lots, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities, as well as real time parking information, the addition of a parking ambassador, adoption of user fees, and regular parking enforcement.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking agricultural producers to enter into Cooperative Agricultural Agreements at Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge near Pacific City. Three different pasture units on the refuge are eligible. The three separate units are 22.25 acres, 77.89 acres, and 93.58 acres in size and all are considered lowland pasture. All agreements will last for a period of five years. The selected cooperator(s) will be required to manage the grasslands and harvest the forage produced by grazing, mowing, haying, and green chopping annually between April 15 and Oct. 31. The cooperator will be selected through an open and competitive process where applications will be scored and ranked by a panel including representatives from the Service, Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife, and Oregon State University Agricultural Extension. A site visit to tour the refuge’s managed pastures will be held on Sept. 26. Interested applicants can meet in the parking lot of Nestucca Bay Refuge (7000 Cristensen Road) at 10 a.m. or call 541-867-4550 for more information. To apply, interested parties must complete FWS Form 3-1383-C and supplemental application questions. The proposals must be on a per acre basis for haying or for grazing. The FWS Form 3-1383-C, supplemental application questions and instructions, maps of the proposed Cooperative Agriculture area, and examples of a Cooperative Agricultural Agreement can be downloaded at fws.gov/refuge/ nestucca_bay. Hard copies can be requested by calling Kelly Moroney, Project Leader at 541-867-4550 or email at Kelly_Moroney@fws.gov. Completed applications are to be
submitted to the refuge in a sealed envelope marked Cooperative Agricultural Agreement Application, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, 2127 SE Marine Science Drive, Newport, OR 97365. The sealed envelopes may be submitted either by mail or hand delivery and will only be accepted from Sept. 15-Oct. 15. Sealed envelopes must be received in the refuge office by the application deadline of Oct. 15 at 5:00 p.m. The Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1991, in part, to protect and enhance habitat for wintering geese. Managed refuge pastures receive sustained waterfowl use from fall through spring and provide quality forage, which improves waterfowl health and survival. Between 6,000 to 11,000 whitecheeked geese, including 18 percent of the world’s population of the dusky Canada goose winter in the Nestucca Valley. The refuge’s goal is to minimize depredation on private pasturelands by maximizing waterfowl use on refuge lands. Refuge pasture management is based on recognition of the importance of short grass habitats to geese and a commitment to habitat protection for the mutual benefit of wildlife and the local dairy industry. The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working with others to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. The agency is both a leader and trusted partner in fish and wildlife conservation, known for scientific excellence, stewardship of lands and natural resources, dedicated professionals, and commitment to public service.

Midway Chorus to present ‘Messiah,’ looking for singers EVERY SUNDAY from 10-2pm Fresh & Local Food, Artisan Crafts, Prepared Food & Live Music Weekly! Many thanks to our 2018 Sponsors!

Friday Bible Class: 10-11 a. m. Choir Practice: Thursday Evening, 6-7 p.m.
The biennial performance of selections from George Frederic Handel’s classic oratorio, “Messiah” is set to return to Tillamook and Lincoln Counties this winter. Currently, the ensemble is seeking singers to begin rehearsals. “Every two years we have a different group of singers, but always the same music,” said Adam Schwend, artistic director of the Midway Chorus & Orchestra. “We have singers who have sung ‘Messiah’ literally hundreds of times and we have singers who haven’t been in a choir since high school. It’s an awesome experience for everyone. We work incredibly hard, but we have a great time.” The Midway Chorus & Orchestra was founded in the 1970s by long-time Nestucca High School music educator
Mack Pimental to perform “Messiah” every other year in both Lincoln and Tillamook Counties. It was dubbed “Midway” because rehearsals would take place in Cloverdale (and later Pacific City) and performers would come from both counties and meet “midway” to rehearse. Rehearsals begin on Sunday, Oct. 7 at 3 p.m. at the Kiawanda Community Center in Pacific City. All levels of singers are welcome and are encouraged to bring a score if they have one, although some will be available to borrow and to purchase. Performances will take place on Dec. 2 in Tillamook and on Dec. 9 in Lincoln City. Questions can be directed to Adam Schwend at 503-457-8865 or apschwend@gmail.com

SOLVE’S annual Beach and Riverside Cleanup Saturday, Sept. 29 offers coastal residents and visitors a chance to help clean up the area’s beaches and rivers. South Tillamook County cleanup opportunities include Cape Kiwanda, Sand Lake Recreation Area, Wi-Ne-Ma Wayside,and Neskowin.
Refreshing the Water’s Edge
T
housands of Oregonians are expected to roll up their sleeves, strap on their boots and pull on their gloves when they put the spirit of working together to task during SOLVE’s annual Beach & Riverside Cleanup, Saturday, Sept. 29, 10 a.m.-1 p.m. In partnership with the Oregon Lottery, the 35th annual SOLVE event will give volunteers the chance to help remove invasive plants and clean up hundreds of miles of beaches, rivers, and city streets before fall rains wash litter and debris into storm drains and out to sea. More than 5,000 Oregonians are expected to participate in this year’s cleanup. The statewide effort includes four sites in South Tillamook County — Cape Kiwanda (meeting at Pelican Pub & Brewery), the Sand Lake Recreation Area, WiNe-Ma Wayside and in Neskowin (meets at Neskowin Trading Company). In total, the event includes more than 100 handson volunteer litter cleanup and restoration events across the state, including 45 beach cleanup sites coastwide. Since 1984, more than 130,000 Beach & Riverside Cleanup volunteers have removed 1.7 million pounds of litter and marine debris from project sites across Oregon. The annual, family-friendly event is part of the International Coastal Cleanup and National Public Lands Day. “Whether you’re kayaking down a
river, camping at the Coast or having a picnic at one of Oregon’s many parks, you can’t help but feel fortunate to live in such a beautiful state,” said Lottery Director Barry Pack. “SOLVE’s Beach & Riverside Cleanup gives thousands of Oregonians the opportunity to help preserve that beauty.” SOLVE heralds the event as important as Oregon’s water, wildlife, and economy are threatened by litter. Cigarette butts, plastic, and other trash flow into storm drains, leading directly to Oregon rivers and streams where the items pollute the state’s water, and can be mistaken for food by fish and other wildlife. In addition, non-native invasive plants like English ivy push out native plants and animals and can harm entire ecosystems. Those wishing to participate can visit solveoregon.org where they can get more details, pick a project, and sign up. More information about the project is also available to interested residents by calling SOLVE at 503-844-9571, ext. 332, or 1-800-333-7658. SOLVE is a statewide non-profit organization that brings Oregonians together to improve the state’s environment and build a legacy of stewardship. Since 1969, the organization has grown from a small, grassroots group to a national model for volunteer action.

Chamber votes to support Highway 6 improvement proposal The Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce unanimously voted to draft a letter of support for a Highway 6 improvement proposal by activist Tom Messenger during the group’s Sept. 4 meeting. The proposal includes a number of changes such as adding passing lanes and adding a call box to address safety concerns on the highway, which has a record of frequent — and often serious — accidents. “It’s going to take a big push to do something like this,” said Tillamook
County Commissioner David Yamamoto, who attended the meeting. “If anyone can get it done, Tom (can). This is a big ask. It’s a good project. It’s a safety issue for residents who drive to and from (Portland and Tillamook). I think it could be a good thing.” Messenger is scheduled to share his proposal with the Pacific City-Woods Citizen Advisory Committee during that group’s meeting on Monday, Sept. 17, 6:30 p.m., at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City.

PELICAN BREWING COMPANY will hold its second annual Salmon Run Saturday, Sept. 29. The fundraiser supporting The Salmon SuperHwy, a salmon habitat restoration initiative in Tillamook County, offers a 5K, 10K, and 15K run. The race will start and finish at the Tillamook Pelican Brewery & Tap room, 1708 1st St. in Tillamook.
Salmon Run to take off Sept. 29
R
egistration is still open for the Pelican Brewing Company’s second annual Pelican Brewing Salmon Run, Saturday, Sept. 29 at 10 a.m. Pelican’s 5K, 10K and 15k run is a fund- and awareness-raiser for The Salmon SuperHwy, an ambitious salmon habitat restoration initiative in Tillamook County. Runners can register online through Thursday, Sept. 27, 7 p.m. and in-person at the Packet Pick-up event at the Tillamook Brewpub on Friday, Sept. 28 from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. The race will start and finish at the Tillamook Pelican Brewery & Tap Room and runners will enjoy a post-race bash at the brewery featuring brewery tours, live music, food and crisp thirst-quenching Pelican brews and Tillamook cheese pairings. Pelican brews its award-winning Five Fin West Coast Pilsner in an effort to support the salmon recovery efforts. Oregonians can assist the massive effort to restore access to almost 180 miles of blocked habitat throughout six major salmon and steelhead rivers of Oregon’s North Coast by participating in the Pelican Brewing Salmon Run and of course drinking Five Fin. A portion of the proceeds go directly to The Salmon SuperHwy. “We know we are more than lucky to live, work and play in a place as beautiful as Tillamook County, and at Pelican we don’t take our environment for granted — investing in programs like the Salmon SuperHwy is a very meaningful part of our culture,” says Jim Prinzing, CEO, Pelican Brewing Company. “Both the Salmon Run and our Five Fin Pilsner have been popular ways for us to create awareness for this important endeavor and encourage others to join in.” The entry fee for the 5K is $35, $40 for the 10K and $45 for the 15K through Sept. 28 with free entry for children 5 years of age and younger. Everyone who registers receives an official race shirt and an official race pint glass. Those 21 years of age or older will receive a pint of Pelican’s Five Fin West Coast Pilsner (21 years and above). Runners under the age of 21 will be treated to a pint of Pelican Brewing Root Beer. For more information and for race updates, follow the race social media pages: twitter.com/PBSalmonRun andfacebook.com/PelicanBrewingSalmon-
Run. The Salmon SuperHwy project is a strategic and intensive effort across a six-river landscape to reconnect fish populations with the habitat they need to navigate and survive. Started in 2014, the $35.8 million campaign is expected to run through 2024 to improve the habitat for salmon in 93 different locations throughout Tillamook County. Hundreds of barriers in streams still create bottlenecks throughout Oregon’s coastal watersheds — most are problem culverts at road crossings that contribute to flooding and road damage, along with some small dams and tide gates. Minimizing these impacts across a major landscape will come with significant, lasting benefit to fish and people, now and into the future. “Pelican Brewing Company is a valued leader in our effort to raise awareness and funding to protect salmon in Tillamook County — which impacts all of us at some level,” says Terry Turner, Oregon Council Chair, Trout Unlimited. “We hope Pelican’s creative funding strategy will encourage other companies and organizations to join this very important salmon habitat restoration effort.” Pelican is participating as a sponsor and donor of this ambitious and unique community partnership to design and construct culvert replacement to create healthy upstream fish habitats, reduce chronic flooding, improve recreation opportunities and stimulate the local economy. Other partners include a broad range of state and federal agencies, local business and agriculture, and local watershed councils. For a complete list of partners, visit salmonsuperhwy. org. Pelican Brewing Company was founded in 1996 by Jeff Schons and Mary Jones in Pacific City with Oregon’s only oceanfront brewpub. With the brewing expertise of founding brewmaster Darron Welch, Pelican Brewing has won more than 450 awards including a Silver Medal at the 2016 Great American Beer Festival, 2014 World Beer Cup© Champion Small Brewing Company and Brewmaster of the Year. The company operates brewing and brewpub facilities in Pacific City, Tillamook and Cannon Beach. For more information, visit pelicanbrewing.com.

Region invited to participate in series of programs Sept. 2018-Jan. 2019 The North Coast Tourism Studio, offered by Travel Oregon in partnership with a local steering committee (represented by 24 organizations and agencies), is now open for registration. The fall/winter program will focus on communities in Oregon’s northern coastal region from Astoria to Pacific City through the coastal mountain range, starting with the North Coast Tourism Summit on Tuesday, Sept. 25, a full-day workshop that will be held in Garibaldi. “This is a great opportunity to improve the tourism economy and our ability to manage its impact on our communities,” said local resident Jeremy Strober, a member of the Tourism Studio Program Steering Committee and owner/operator of Heartfelt Hospitality Management. “We’ll have the attention of local and regional governments and the support of regional and statewide tourism experts. My hope is that the result of these workshops will be improved experiences for visitors and residents alike.” The North Coast Tourism Studio program is a series of tourism development workshops designed to assist communities interested in stimulating their local economies through sustainable tourism development, while protecting and enhancing local resources. As a result of the program, Travel Oregon and the program’s local organizers hope to see an increase in local collaboration to shape the future of a growing tourism economy in the North Coast region. This will strengthen the region’s position as a premier tourism destination by enhancing community livability and healthy, local environments. Strober emphasized that this is not just an opportunity for those in the industry, but a chance for residents to make an impact on decisions made moving forward. “Much of our focus in Tillamook County has been on improving promotion even though we’ve been screaming for improved infrastructure,” he said.
“These studios speak to how to improve infrastructure and services even more than promotion. We need community members to show up on these to really represent our region.” The tourism studio professional development program offers six interactive workshops. The program is designed to assist residents and businesses in the North Coast region on how to address key challenges it faces in the area, including: preserving and enhancing the natural and cultural resources of the region while offering high-quality experiences; encouraging stewardship best practices by visitors and the industry; integrating cultural heritage into the visitor experience, authentically and respectfully; reducing congestion during peak seasons and in high-use areas; spreading the seasonality of visitation; spreading the positive economic benefits of tourism throughout the region and maximizing the integration with other key economic drivers including fisheries, forestry, agriculture and main street retail; increasing local understanding and appreciation of the value of tourism and the contribution it makes to the local economy; and capitalizing upon the array of visionary projects already underway to bolster momentum and ensure this region remains a unique destination. Community members, public officials, tourism entrepreneurs, tour operators, lodging property owners, land managers, outdoor recreation enthusiasts, conservation groups and anyone with an interest in strengthening the local economy through tourism are invited to participate in the program. “No one understands our needs and interests better than us,” Strober added. “No one is going to look out for us if we don’t participate in the solution.” To register, visit Industry.TravelOregon.com/ NorthCoast. For more information, contact Nan Devlin, Visit Tillamook Coast at 503 842-2672 or nan@ tillamookcoast.com.
VTC to oversee the Tillamook County Quilt Trail Visit Tillamook Coast recently announced that the tourism organization will manage and provide marketing for the Tillamook County Quilt Trail. The oversight it will provide came at the request of the Trail’s nonprofit board members, who have put 10 years of dedication and passion into creating one of the county’s most popular attractions. “We are quite proud of what Tillamook County Quilt Trail board members and community members working together have accomplished through the years,” said Suzanne Weber, a charter member of the board and the organization’s former president. “We feel certain the Quilt Trail is in good hands with Visit Tillamook Coast as it grows and heads in new directions.” Established in 2009, the Tillamook County Quilt Trail began as a way to create a tie between the rich local history and the talents of local quilters. In less than 10 years, more than 100 quilt blocks have been placed on buildings and barns throughout the county.
“When the board approached us about managing the quilt trail, we were both thrilled and honored,” said Nan Devlin, director of tourism for Visit Tillamook Coast. “Cultural heritage is an important part of the county’s identity and tourism strategy, attracting heritage travelers, photographers, artists, geocachers and quilting enthusiasts.” “The time, effort, vision and dedication of the volunteers that started the quilt trail is quite remarkable,” Devlin said. “Because of the work of Suzanne Weber, Teri Fladstol, Diane Colcord, Andy Neal, Cara Carr, the late Faye Jacques and Tom Weber, and many supporting organizations, we would not be home to this amazing cultural treasure. We will honor their work and look forward to sharing more stories about the trail.” Julie Hurliman, marketing assistant for Visit Tillamook Coast, will be the key contact for the quilt trail. To reach her, call 503-8422672 or email julie@tillamookcoast. com.
