he Pacific City Dorymen’s Association recently announced the formation of a Heritage Committee that has begun the process of developing a plan to create a maritime museum in the community. The six-member committee, which the PCDA voted to create at its Aug. 26 membership meeting, has begun formulating ideas about what is wanted and how to achieve it. “We’re really in the preliminary stages,” committee chair Dave Larkins told the Sun. “We’re searching for a piece of property or a building that would be suitable. We would like something in close proximity to Pacific City.” He added that once the THIS TURN-OF-THE-CENTURY Nestucca River gillnet boat, property is which is also expected to be a part of an eventual marine muidentified, seum, is believed to be the only one of its kind left. the committee will begin rent day.

Celebrating the Sounds of the String Meccore String Quartet to play Nov. 5 Neskowin Chamber Music concert
T
he award-winning Meccore String Quartet will present the second concert in the 24th season of Neskowin Chamber Music on Nov. 5 at 3 p.m. at Camp Wi-Ne-Ma. The group was formed by four of Europe’s most celebrated string players in 2007 — violinists Wojciech Koprowski and Jaroslaw Nadrzycki, violist Artur Paciorkiewicz, and cellist Karol Marianowski. In the years since, the group has performed in numerous concert halls including National Philharmonic Hall in Warsaw, Beethovenhaus in Bonn, Bozar in Brussels, Pollack Hall in Montreal, and the Frick Collection in New York. Amongst their many awards is a second prize — and three additional special prizes — at the London International String Quartet Competition at Wigmore Hall in 2012. The group also received top prizes at the Paolo Borciani Competition in 2011, the International Chamber Music Competition in Weiden (2010), and the Max Reger International Chamber Music Competition in 2009. As postgraduates at
Sun
the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw, they worked with Alfred Brendel on the interpretation of Beethoven’s music. A scholarship from the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage enabled the group to fulfill their goal of popularizing chamber music in places with limited access to culture — such as hospitals for youth and children. They are active teachers at the Ignacy Jan Paderewski Academy of Music in Poznan, Poland and the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw. The Meccore String Quartet will also present an outreach program at Nestucca High School in Cloverdale on Monday, Nov. 6, starting at 9 a.m. Concerts take place at Camp Wi-Ne-Ma, located three miles north of Neskowin, just off Highway 101. Season tickets are $110. Individual tickets are $25. For more information, call 503-965-6499, write Neskowin Chamber Music, P.O.

NEWS&COMMUNITY Commissioners approve contract to develop parking management plan for Cape Kiwanda area Tillamook County Commissioners approved a plan, 3-0, to hire Kittelson and Associates to produce a Parking Management Plan for the Cape Kiwanda area during their Oct. 18 meeting. The development of a Parking Management Plan fulfills one of the phase one recommendations of the Cape Kiwanda Master Plan. Though, in the previous months, Tillamook County published a request for proposal for the project, they received no bids, reported Tillamook County General Services administrator Rachel Hagerty to the commissioners. With that in mind, Hagerty said she’s been negotiating with Kittelson & Assocites in an effort to secure their services. Though the initial goal was to get the work done for approximately $50,000, the agreement with Kittelson is for $60,552 — with the increase owing to an increased scope of work. The new bigger scope of work will be for the study to continue for more than a year — from now through December 2018. Hagerty said the concern, in the original plan, was that the parking data wasn’t going to be collected during peak season. She said the benefit of the study is that it will provide official data that the county can use as it moves forward. “There’s a lot of anecdotal in-
formation that I know people in the community can share, but when you actually come to quantifying those and basing plans on them, I think that information becomes less reliable,” she told commissioners at the workshop preceding the meeting. “For this, I think we would be more comfortable if we actually had data.” And Commissioner David Yamamoto echoed the sentiment that the study should include a close look at the peak season. “The most important thing to me is making sure that these consultants are actually looking at the parking problems that we have during the peak season,” he said. “You can show people pictures and tell them how busy it really is, but unless you’re actually there feeling all of the traffic and parking issues that go on in Pacific City — and I live in Pacific City — you just can’t explain. So I appreciate extending the contract through the end of next year. I think that does make a lot of sense.” The project will make use of a project team of four and a project advisory committee of 14. Commissioners agreed to pay $35,652 of the total cost via the Transient Lodging tax tourism infrastructure program and Pelican Brewing Co. has agreed to contribute $25,000 of the cost.
Leptospirosis strikes sea lions along Oregon Coast Oregon and California are seeing an increase in the number of stranded sea lions along the coast due to leptospirosis, a bacteria that can also sicken dogs, livestock, people and other wildlife. “Over the past few months, we have been getting calls for multiple sick or dead sea lions daily, which is higher than normal,” said Jim Rice, an OSU Marine Mammal Institute researcher who works at the OSU’s Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport. At least eight cases of leptospirosis have been confirmed through OSU’s Oregon Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory since the outbreak began in late September, mostly on beaches in Lincoln, Tillamook and Clatsop counties. While leptospirosis occurs worldwide, outbreaks occur only sporadically in marine mammals, with the last Oregon outbreak seen in 2010. The disease can spread when an animal comes into contact with urine or other bodily fluids of an infected animal and can lead to kidney failure, fever, weakness, muscle pain, and other symptoms. In Oregon, young male sea lions are typically affected and usually show signs of dehydration, depression and reluctance to use their hind flippers. While there is a small risk of transmission to people, dogs are most at
risk of becoming infected by approaching stranded sea lions on the beach or coming in contact with body fluid from sick or dead sea lions. People walking their dogs on the beach should keep their dogs on a leash and not allow them to get close to stranded sea lions. “Pets should be kept away from sea lions as leptospirosis can cause severe disease,” said Emilio DeBess, state public health veterinarian of the Oregon Health Authority. “Note that there are vaccines available to protect dogs and horses against leptospirosis, please contact your veterinarian for more information. If your dog becomes ill after being exposed to sick or dead sea lions, contact your veterinarian immediately,” added DeBess. People who observe sick sea lions or other marine mammals on the beach should say at least 50 feet away from them and report them to OSP at 1-800-452-7888. OSP shares these reports with the Oregon Marine Mammal Stranding Network. Even when sea lions are healthy, it’s never a good idea to approach them. It’s also a violation of federal and state laws to harass, disturb, touch, or feed marine mammals. For more information about wildlife diseases, contact ODFW’s wildlife health hotline at 1-866-968-2600.
Bridge inspections to close sections of OR 130 on Nov. 14 Sections of Oregon 130, the Little Nestucca Highway, will close for part of one day on Tuesday, Nov. 14 so an Oregon Department of Transportation bridge crew can inspect three bridges. The bridges are located at milepost 5.11, 5.97 and 7.55. ODOT says that because the bridges are single-lane bridges, the lane must be closed while the
crew is inspecting the bridges. Bridges are expected to be closed for about two hours each. The crew will start with the bridge at 7.55 and then move west to the next bridge. Emergency responders and school buses will be accommodated during the closures. For the latest road conditions, visit www.tripcheck.com.

Local organizations honored at 2017 EDC banquet Contributions to Tillamook County was the focus of the annual Economic Development Council and Visit Tillamook Coast awards banquet, held Oct. 19 at the Partners for Rural Innovation center. Todd Davidson, CEO of Travel Oregon, was the keynote speaker, and Grant McOmie, host of Grant’s Getaways, was the guest speaker. The sold-out event was catered by Pacific Restaurant and served by volunteers from the Women’s Resource Center. Tillamook Coliseum Theatre was the recipient of the Mark Labhart Economic Development Award for its continued growth and impact on downtown redevelopment. Matt and Shiela Zerngast bought the 1923-era theater in August 2014, then spent 10 weeks restoring it to new life. It

has once again become a center of downtown activity. This year, the theatre was one of four finalists nationwide to host an event for the Turner Classic Movies channel. The Port of Garibaldi received the 2017 Tourism Development Award for its vision and plan to not only support and grow small commercial fisheries, but to also combine that commerce with tourism development, including a popular RV park and a new large event tent. Port manager, Michael Saindon, and Port board president, Valerie Folkema, accepted the award on behalf of the organization. The Explore Nature series received the 2017 Shirley Kalkhoven Tourism
Excellence award. This series, which takes participants on “doing” tours, such as learning about oyster farming, foraging for mushrooms, learning about birds and wildlife, and many other topics, is in its second very successful year. The award was accepted by the two organizations that developed the series, Tillamook Estuaries Partnership and Friends of Netarts Bay (WEBS). “There’s significant business development and tourism growth occuring in Tillamook County, from Manzanita to Neskowin,” said Nan Devlin, tourism director and interim EDC director. “This annual banquet is a way to honor the hard work it takes to make development and growth happen.”

Voters to weigh in on Construction Excise Tax By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun
T
illamook County voters will decide whether or not to enact a 1 percent Construction Excise Tax on Nov. 7. Originally passed as a resolution by Tillamook County Commissioners last spring, the stated intent of the CET is “to provide funding for workforce housing in Tillamook County.” Currently the ordinance applies to both commercial and residential new construction and remodels, but calls for an exemption for residential housing units “guaranteed to be affordable, under guidelines established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.” Other exemptions include improvements for private schools, public facilities, public or private hospitals, religious facilities, agriculture buildings, and facilities owned and operated by a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation. Additionally, construction projects where the computed value is less than $100,000 will not have to pay the tax. That exemption value could go up — commissioners had agreed to write an amendment to allow for a $250,000 exemption, but, because a petition designed to stop the CET has been circulated, county counsel advised against changing the limit until after the election, Commissioner David Yamamoto told the Sun. Proponents of the tax — including Commissioner Bill Baertlein — have touted the tax as one that most in the county will not have to pay thanks to the exemptions either already in the ordinance or, as is the case of the increase to a $250,000 exemption, ones that are promised down the line. “It’s really important to think about who is going to pay this tax,” Baertlein told members of the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce during the group’s Oct. 3 monthly meeting. “I would say that 95 percent of the people in the county will probably not have to pay this tax because there’s not that many people building residences and there’s not that much construction going on in the commercial side,” he said. “The ones that are going to be paying are the (people building) bigger houses — a lot of the beach communities that are coming in with second homes and short-term rentals. And our larger corporations are going to be a paying a portion on this. That kind of hits the target areas. The

short-term rentals have displaced a lot of the long-term rentals. It’s a good economic (factor) for Tillamook County, but it does disrupt things for long-term rentals.” According to figures released to commissioners from the Tillamook County Office of Community Development, $300,000 a year is expected from the tax, given that the exemptions stays at $100,000. Yamamoto said that the estimated amount would likely fall to the $200,000 to $250,000 range should a $250,000 exemption be added. In his support of the ordinance, Commissioner Yamamoto said that the advantage of passing the tax now is that Tillamook County has the attention of both state and federal agencies. “We have the Department of Land Conservation and Development, Regional Solution Teams, DEQ. We’ve got all these state agencies wanting to know how they can help Tillamook County,” he said. “That’s a great thing.” “It’s extremely important that we move forward,” Baertlein told Chamber members. “I don’t want to see us stall out now. We’ve got the momentum. We’ve got the State of Oregon working with us. Right after we passed the ordinance, a number of the state agencies called me and set up an appointment (and asked) how can we help with your new coordinator? We’ve never had that before. They have never offered to come to Tillamook and help.” But while there is general agreement that the county needs more workforce housing, not everyone is convinced that the CET is the correct vehicle for achieving it. Tillamook Board of Realtors president Adam Schwend said that while his coalition that is opposing the tax mutually agrees that there is a lack of housing, he takes issue with the fact that the commissioners have put forth the tax without presenting any rules on how it’s supposed to be implemented. “We think there are a lot of unintended consequences that will go along with (the tax),” he said. “The fact that they are spending a significant amount of funds for a new government employee, that’s a problem. That doesn’t help people that need workforce housing right now. The only thing we know for certain is the cost of development is going to go up thousands of dollars immediately.” He said that he takes issue with the pitch that not many residents will
have to pay the tax. A good example he said, is a woman who is building a two bedroom, two bath home with the assistance of Schwend’s business partner. “The commissioners are saying that (the tax will) just affect mansions at the coast. That’s not a mansion. (Her cost) is coming out to be about $20,000. “She’s already paying upwards of $20,000 in system development fees,” he added. “She’s a middle class working professional — the type of people we need housing for. They can say all day long this is going to just affect a bunch of rich people (but)that’s just not true.” And Dave Baxter, co-owner of local builder Pacific City Homes concurs. He told the Sun that he has built modest homes for several locals in the last couple of years, all of which would top the $250,000 mark. “I have plenty of customers that have half million dollar homes that are locals,” he said. Though he said that, because of the building surge going on now, the tax might not immediately affect builders such as himself, that won’t always be the case. “What happens at the next downturn?” he asked. “That’s when that extra tax is going to keep people from buying.” Should the tax pass, Yamamoto doesn’t expect immediate results, because of the time it takes for permitting and construction, but he does anticipate that three to five years down the road, the county could have more workforce housing options. “Starting in year three and continuing to increase in years four, five and six, we’ll see a lot of progress in this,” he said. Baertlein said that if the voters give their go ahead, the first step will be to put together a housing commission that would help guide how CET-funded workforce housing incentives will be spent. Following that would be the hiring of a housing advocate, who he hopes could be on staff by June 2018. Ballots are due by 8 p.m. on Nov. 7. In South Tillamook County, ballots can be dropped off at Kiawanda Commmunity Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City; and in downtown Cloverdale at 34370 Highway 101 S. As of Oct. 26, Tillamook County reported receiving 1,961 mail-in ballots — 10.66 percent of the 18,389 registered voters countywide.

NEWS&COMMUNITY New research looks at growing population of cougars in the mid-coast region A few decades ago, cougars in the coast range were practically unheard of. But as Oregon’s healthy cougar population has expanded into northwest Oregon from population strongholds in the Blue Mountains and south Cascades, ODFW is observing more cougar harvest, sightings and damage complaints along the coast. Researchers have studied cougar home range sizes, population densities and diet in the Cascades and eastern Oregon, but not along the coast. A new study aims to change that through a research effort that will collar 10 adult cougars in the Alsea Wildlife Management Unit, which includes parts of Lincoln and Benton counties. ODFW will work with volunteer agents who have hounds to tree cougars in the study area so ODFW can immobilize them, take samples including blood and DNA, and get them fitted with a GPS collar. Location data collected from the collars will be used to calculate home range size and habitat selection. Like similar research in other parts of the state, the study will also use scat detection dogs to refine a cougar population estimate for the unit and to analyze their diet. The scat provides DNA data used in capture-recapture models that estimate population size and density. The diet analysis provides important information on what percent of common prey items (deer, elk or small mammal) are making up area cougars’ diets. Collaring of the cougars will begin this month and will continue until 10 adults are collared or April 1, 2019. Once a cougar is collared the GPS unit will collect location data for 17 months. It is legal to harvest a collared cougar but ODFW prefers that hunters not shoot a cougar with a collar if possible. Hunters who do will need to contact ODFW and return the collar so the data can be retrieved and the collar reused, plus complete the normal check-in process that is required whenever a hunter takes a cougar or bear in Oregon. “Better data means better science based man-

Oregon’s statewide cougar population is estimated at 6,400. The Alsea Unit is part of Zone A, the Coast/North Cascades Zone, which has an estimated population of 950 cougars of all age classes. The research is being funded through federal grants from the Wildlife Restoration Act and donations from Oregon Wildlife Foundation and the Oregon Hunters Association.

Do we really have a housing problem? The answer is YES! Before I go any further with my comments, I need to make three very important points about the construction excise tax (CET) proposed by the commissioners…first, the vast majority of Tillamook County residents will NOT pay this tax unless you plan on remodeling or building a home or commercial building valued at over $250,000 in the next 10 years. This tax is aimed at those coming to our county to build a second home or vacation rental. Second, all monies collected through this tax are mandated to go toward the development of housing…this money can’t be used by the general fund in any other way. Third, you can be part of the solution simply by voting ‘yes’ on Referendum #29-152. Now, back to my original question… the answer is still a resounding yes. The biggest economic development issue facing our county is a lack of workforce housing. A poignant example is the story of one of our school districts hiring several new teachers at the beginning of the school year, only to have two of them resign the week before school started because they could not find a place to live. Other examples come from the Creamery Association, Adventist Health, dairy farmers, timber industry, our veterans, the county, and the list goes on and on. Lack of workforce housing across all demographics is truly a statewide issue, but is even worse in our coastal counties where we have two distinct housing markets. We have a flourishing beach market where vacationers build their dream homes as second homes or vacation rentals, and we have a more constrained interior market where high demand keeps vacancy low and prices stable, but not robust enough to stimulate healthy levels of reinvestment for development of new housing products. As we transition to a more tourism based economy, we have a $15/hour workforce with a $25/hour housing market. It is not that we aren’t building new homes in Tillamook County…we are. Over the past 10 years, we have added 2,400 housing units while simultaneously losing 2,700 units to vacation rentals and second homes. This is a net loss of 300 housing units for local residents. People have approached me and said “just let the private sector solve this inequity.” Over the last several decades, the problem has only gotten worse. I certainly do not blame local builders and developers. If I had a choice of building a $500,000 beach home and making a nice profit or building a $200,000 home with little or no profit, I certainly would build the McMansion. In 2006, the City of Bend was the first in

Oregon to implement a CET for the express purpose of addressing their workforce housing issue. The City of Bend has been able to leverage its CET 7-10 times using Federal, State, private and public foundation grants. Following Bend’s decision, the State stepped in banning any other CET’s. It wasn’t until 2016 that the State, after reviewing the successes from Bend, reversed their decision to allow cities and counties in Oregon to follow Bend’s lead. Through a series of grants, Tillamook County commissioned a study (www.careinc.org/housingtask-force) which clearly points out the problems we face and identifies solutions. How does the county plan on implementing strategies to unstick our current housing market? To me, this is all about allowing local builders and developers to make their bottom line pencil out, just like the more expensive beach homes. If they currently saw a positive bottom line, they would be building workforce housing. There is no reason to reinvent the wheel when Bend has already been so successful. The City of Bend is ranked #2 in Oregon for affordable housing, yet people continually tell me there is no affordable housing in Bend. This to me is the key…make workforce housing look just like any other house and neighborhood in the county. This is where Bend has been so successful. Some people tell me we can do this without a CET. Since last year when the State passed legislation allowing counties to collect a CET, Tillamook County is the first to implement a CET. Previously, everyone knew we had a problem, but assistance was not forthcoming. State agencies overlooked Tillamook County as we appeared unwilling to help ourselves. Now, we have offers of assistance from many sectors, including the Dept. of Land Conservation Development, Regional Solutions, private and public foundations and many others, all of whom will be instrumental in helping us get our housing market unstuck. Being the first in the State to take up the challenge, they know they need to make this a success, and this strengthens our cause. If we let this opportunity pass us by, all of the attention and offers of assistance will be focused elsewhere…where people are willing to step up and help themselves. We can make Tillamook County a better place for all to live and work…but we must be able to take the first step to help ourselves. I urge you to vote YES on Referendum #29152.

The Charles Ray house still stands next to the grocery store across the street from where this cheese factory was located.

THIS 1940 PHOTO shows the second Cloverdale cheese factory built along the Nestucca River. In 1921, it produced 278,556 pounds of cheese. Mert Loucks was the last cheesemaker there. It was located just north of the new Nestucca Bay Creamery and was torn down when the Noble Bittner Plug Mill was built. There were more than 60 small cheese factories in the county over the years.

Winter events on the way By VERNE MOBLEY Chamber President
Well, here comes winter and our Pacific CityNestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce is ready for most of the events that comes with it. One of the things that occupies my thoughts is kind of far away — July 4th activities. Budget things are something that affect all volunteer organizations, including the Chamber. The fireworks cost is about $7,000 a year. Hey folks! This breaks our budget! Unless we can get donations from businesses and individuals, fireworks won’t happen. Neskowin has cancelled fireworks. A group of folks has plans for Clover’s Day. If fireworks happen, they would hold Clover’s Day on July 7th with community events in Neskowin July 4 then possibly in Hebo 5th or 6th. Please let the Chamber and community folks know what you like. The Kiawanda Community Center held a very successful Oktoberfest. Great attendance and big profits. Nettie and her crew did WONDERS! At our KCC board meeting last week, we had sad news. Michelle Hughes is resigning as our treasurer, but good news is Jessica Kliever has joined the board and volunteered to take Michelle’s job. What a great young citizen and contributor Jessica is! Thank you, thank you!! Big planning is ongoing for our annual Christmas banquet Dec. 5 at the big party room at the Pelican Pub. Doug has lined up great entertainment. An illusionist-magician type guy who has appeared on the Jay Leno show among other big venues. Jacie Voegeli and Susan Amort are co-chairwomen for the event. More later on Christmas tree decorating. Call me at 971-2570200 or any member with questions. Paid Advertisement

Sea’N Red is Pelican’s new Irish-Style ale, adding a new dimension to the brewery’s catalog of award-winning beer
P
elican Brewing Company debuted a brand-new beer to its core lineup on Oct. 3 — Sea’N Red, a malt-forward, northwest take on a traditional Irish-style Red Ale. The new beer is hailed for its toasty malt character. It is now available in 6-packs, 22-ounce bottles and on draft. For the lead role in Sea ‘N Red, Pelican Brewers chose Golden Promise malt, a malt variety known for its silky-smooth mouthfeel, rounded depth of character, and flavors of toasted biscuit and fresh baked bread. The malt is supported by subtle dry hopping with Santiam hops to accentuate the malt flavor and add a liveliness to the character. Pelican’s take on this uncommon style of beer offers aromas reminiscent of toffee, caramel, and cocoa. The brewery says its characterized by a toasty biscuit-like character and a smooth, dry, well-balanced finish. The beer also features a dark copper color and a medium-bodied presence. “Sea’N Red delivers flavor and complexity by exploring what malt can do when you let the hops play a supporting role,” says Darron Welch, founding brewmaster, Pelican Brewing Company. “This delicious ale is very well-balanced, silky smooth on the palate, and great on its own, or exceptionally versatile when paired with food.” With consistent growth and demand for its products, Pelican recently increased brewing and bottling capacity at its Tillamook facility to more than 38,000 barrels and opened a new brewpub in Cannon Beach which offers additional capacity for such experimentation. “Part of our mission at Pelican is to explore a full range of beer flavor — with Sea’N Red we’re offering a truly malty beer with great balance of floral hops and fantastic drinkability.” says Welch. Like all Pelican beers, Sea’N Red is born at the beach by a team of awardwinning craft beer makers known for brewing styles of beer that they themselves love to drink. Courtesy photo Pelican Brewing Company was founded in 1996 by Jeff Schons and SEA’N RED is Pelican Brewing Co.’s new Irish-Style ale, adding Mary Jones in Pacific City with Oregon’s a new dimension to the brewery’s catalog of award-winning only oceanfront brewpub.

On Oct. 31, 1517, a monk by the name of Martin Luther thought he was just giving an invitation to debate his “95 Theses,” which questioned the selling of indulgences to absolve sins, when he posted his points of contention to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany. But what transpired was much more. His “95 Theses” spread quickly and, most agree, started the Protestant Reformation. To commemorate the 500th anniversary of this church and culture changing event, Beaver Community Church, 24675 Highway 101 S., Beaver, is hosting a Reformation Party on Tuesday, Oct. 31, 6-8 p.m. “It was a point in history that really changed the history of Europe and America by changing the structure of the church and pointing back to the truth of the Bible, Beaver Community Church Pastor Josh Gard told the Sun. The event will feature remembrances and information about the reformers as well as fellowship opportunities, food and games. “We’ll speak a little about Martin Luther, who was the monk that is recognized as beginning the Reformation and take some time to talk about John Calvin, (who was another Reformer in
the 1500s). We’ll also have an overview of what the Reformation is.” Attendees are welcome to dress for the celebration, too. Costumes are encouraged, but not necessary. And though it is a Reformation-themed party, not all costumes need to be so themed. Prizes will be awarded for three categories (Best Reformation Theme, Most Creative and Best Costume Group) and in three age groups (0-6, 7-15, and 16 and up). Food for this free event will be provided by Beaver Community Church as well as two other participating South Tillamook County churches — Pacific Coast Bible Church and Blaine Community Church. “As a church, we appreciate this history of Christianity,” Gard said. “It is our family history, and we celebrate big anniversaries in our family. We look back to the big names of the history of the church as our heritage and celebrate them as family anniversaries and special times to remember what God has done. The Reformation was a return to the Bible for Christianity. It was a rediscovery of how to be in a right relationship with God through faith in Jesus apart from works. It was a return to the Bible over all other (church) authorities. The big ideas of the Reformation really do explain why Protestants act and believe the way they do today.”

Oar House hosts Halloween costume party By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun
F
rom ghouls to superheroes, celebrity impersonations to goblins, Oar House Bar & Grill will be the place for a little early spooky excitement when they host their annual Halloween Costume Party on Saturday, Oct. 28, 9 p.m. to midnight. A favorite for revelers, the party will feature music by DJ Charles Wayne and a chance for party goers to show off their alter ego. Prizes will be awarded for both
the best couple’s costume and best individual costume. As well, random door prizes will be handed out throughout the evening. “It’s a place for people to have fun for Halloween,” said co-owner Rebecca Torres. Located at 34455 Brooten Road in Pacific City, Oar House Bar & Grill offers family dining until 9 p.m. daily.
