PACIFIC CITY-NESTUCCA VALLEY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE president Susan Amort will help lead festivities when the group honrs the contributions of key businesses, organizations and individuals at its annual Awards Banquet and Auction, Dec. 4 at Kiawanda Community Center.

South Tillamook County may soon be home to a worldclass network of mountain bike trails thanks to a partnership with the new nonprofit Tillamook Off Road Trail Alliance and the Siuslaw National Forest. TORTA recently received a $20,000 grant from Travel Oregon to craft a master plan for a network of trails in the USDA Forest Service’s Sand Lake Planning Area.

Formed by local community members Marty Wisehart and Courtesty photo Josh Venti, TORTA is working to THE TILLAMOOK OFF ROAD TRAIL ALLIANCE, partner with land managers and which was formed by community members Josh the community to build, mainVenti and Marty Wisehart, recently received a tain and advocate for mountain $20,000 Travel Oregon grant to plan for a netbike trails in Tillamook County work of moutain bike trails in South Tillamook and collaborate with schools, County. government and local agencies to nurture the wellness of at large.

Our goal at TORTA is to create recreational opportunities in upcoming some world-class mountain bike trails projects, they welcome feedback and here in the community and to bring the ideas from stakeholders and the public benefits of outdoor recreation to our

community and schools.”

He said that the addition of an extensive mountain bike trail system could also pay dividends when it comes to attracting visitors. The plan, said Wisehart, is to create trails suitable for all skill levels with about 70 percent being beginning to intermediate and 30 percent targeted toward advanced riders. A benefit the trails are expected to have when compared with the three current major mountain bike trails in the state is that they would likely be able to be used year round. Trails in Oakridge, Sandy Ridge (at the base of Mt. Hood) and Bend all get snowed out in the winter and also get “blown out” in the summer when dry conditions cause the soil to lose its structure.

“There’s not enough moisture in the soil (at these trails in the summer) to retain structure so it becomes almost like moon dust,” Wisehart told the Chamber. “Nobody likes to follow (riders and get) dust in the face.”

The next major hurdle of the project will be the Forest Service getting NEPA approval, an environmental assessment that Wisehart says is a long, drawn-out process. He said that, as of now, it looks like that approval could come by September 2019.

“In the meantime, we’ll be busy out there scouting trails, aligning with organizations that are positive for us and doing the master planning,” he said.

The Hebo Ranger District is welcoming public comment on the plan and can be reached at 503-392-5100.

New gateway signs highlight Tillamook’s Dairylands theme Four new gateway signs, with bright orange and white “The Dairylands” brand colors and the dairy cow logo, now greet drivers to the City of Tillamook on the Highway 6 entrance, Highway 131 entrance, and at the north and south end of the town on Highway 101.

The signage is the first part of a complete wayfinding program for the city, and the first installation of what will become a county-wide wayfinding program. The City of Tillamook gateway signs will be followed by directionals, kiosks and interpretive signage.

The signage is a collaborative effort of Visit Tillamook Coast, Tillamook Chamber of Commerce and the City of Tillamook, and was paid for with the portion of transient lodging tax funds overseen by Visit Tillamook Coast.

“We saw the highway and downtown street reconstruction as good timing to plan a wayfinding strategy,” said Justin Aufdermauer, executive director of the Tillamook Chamber of Commerce. “We will continue to partner with the city and tourism organization to complete our plan over the next two years.”

Wayfinding is a program of Visit Tillamook Coast’s destination management plan, designed to direct visitors to areas of destination activities, information and cultural heritage. The strategic plan is available online at tilllamookcoast.com/industry. For more information, contact Nan Devlin, tourism director, at nan@tillamookcoast. com or call 503-842-2672.

The next deadline to submit applications is March 4. To be eligible for money from the charitable fund, entities and activities must be either located in the Siletz Tribe’s 11-county service area of Lincoln, Tillamook, Linn, Lane, Benton, Polk, Yamhill, Marion, Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas counties or be a Native American entity or activity located anywhere in the United States.

THE TILLAMOOK COMMUNITY CHORUS will perform “Peace, Community Christmas,” a holiday-themed concert, on Saturday, Dec. 8, 3 p.m. at Tillamook United Methodist Church.

Celebrating peace, community, and Christmas

CAPE KIWANDA MARKETPLACE & RV RESORT

Holiday revelers are encouraged to mark their calendars for an inspiring and unique celebration courtesy of the 35-member Tillamook Community Chorus. The concert, titled “Peace, Community, Christmas,” will take place on Saturday, Dec. 8, 3 p.m., at Tillamook United Methodist Church. Admission is free, but a $5 donation per person will be accepted and appreciated (the chorus is a nonprofit organization run completely by volunteers).

The concert will feature a compilation of traditional, contemporary, and multi-cultural vocal works, performed by the four-part chorus and soloists. Directing the concert will be Andrew Bergh, Tillamook High School Choir Director. Barbara Richmond, pianist, will accompany the group. Refreshments will be served, and there will also be a raffle of two Christmas baskets. Guests who make a $5 admission donation will receive one complimentary raffle ticket but tickets can also be

purchased.

“A group of friends who love to sing” is how the Tillamook Community Chorus describes itself. Formed in 1981, this is the group’s 38th season of concerts. Some members have been singing together for many years; others are brand new to the group. And folks come from all parts of the county. Each year, the chorus performs two formal concerts at local venues and sings at the annual Veterans’ Day celebration. Some years, the group goes holiday caroling, appears at Monday Musical Club events, and/or sings at other special occasions by request.

Singers of all ages and skill levels are invited and encouraged to join; there are no auditions.

The chorus rehearses on Thursday evenings from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the choir room at Tillamook High School.

Tillamook Co. Wellness wins Oregon ‘Place Matters’ Leadership Award The Oregon Health Authority Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention section along with the “Place Matters” Awards Committee announced their selection of Tillamook County Wellness for its 2018 Outstanding Organizational Leadership Award.

The announcement was made at the annual “Place Matters” conference, held in Portland on Oct. 30.

According to OHA Health Systems policy specialist Patricia Selinger, this award is given to an individual or organization that has demonstrated outstanding leadership in chronic disease prevention, early detection and selfmanagement in the areas of leadership, building alliances, eliminating disparities and implementing creative, innovative solutions. Special recognition was given to Bill Baertlein, County Commissioner; Marlene Putman, public health administrator, Michelle Jenck, Tillamook County Wellness coordinator; and Jessica (Dusti) Linnell, Oregon State University Extension Family & Community Health.

“This award celebrates the committed leadership of the Tillamook County Year(s) of Wellness Team to engage the community and improve population health and community livability in Tillamook county,” said presenter Todd Beran when introducing the award. “This initiative builds relationships among friends, family and co-workers, between organizations and with leadership at the local and state level. They are led by a 22-member task force appointed by the Board of County Commissioners, representing a broad spectrum of county leaders. This coali-

tion focuses on addressing many health challenges in Tillamook County relating to chronic disease prevention.”

Accomplishments highlighted in the award presentation included community engagement through tillamookcountyhealthmatters.org, feature stories in the Tillamook Headlight Herald and Tillamook County Pioneer and local KTIL radio station, as well as through Facebook, featuring classes, events, shared recipes and much more.

Significant accomplishments of this leadership team also include addressing tobacco, housing, hiking trails, engaging/creating a coalition of many organizations, and creating a substantial movement that holds great promise for moving Tillamook County forward to become a community where healthy choices are the easy choices.

On Nov. 7, the award recognition was shared with the Tillamook County Board of Commissioners.

“This has been fun,” said Baertlein.

“A lot of what we do in community leadership can be very difficult. While this is a lot of work, it has been very rewarding to convene partners to address these community health challenges in ways that are positive and that bring people together to generate creative solutions.”

Everyone in the leadership team acknowledged that the success of the award really belongs to the community.

“The people who live here are the ones making a difference,” said Putman. “We couldn’t do this without our community partners and the support of our residents who are driving the changes that will help them live healthier lives.”

T

he many contributions of South Tillamook County businesses, organizations and individuals will be applauded when the Pacific CityNestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce hosts “Lights!

Camera! Auction!” — its 16th annual Awards Banquet and Auction, Tuesday, Dec. 4 at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City.

Though the venue has changed, the event will continue the Chamber’s tradition of honoring the year’s top volunteer, citizen and business during the gala event, which starts at 6 p.m. with a no-host bar, hors d’oeuvres, and reception.

A buffet dinner featuring foods from local restaurants will be served starting at 6:45 p.m. followed by an oral auction, entertainment by illusionist/ mentalist Hart Keene and the handing out of three awards — Volunteer of the Year, Citizen of the Year and Business of the Year.

Keene, who performed at the 2014 event, has since vaulted his career into the national spotlight.

Known for his engaging personality, Hart has appeared on numerous television shows including NBC’s “America’s Got Talent,” TNT’s “The Librarians,” and the CW’s “Penn and Teller: Fool Us!” As one of the Chamber’s main fundraisers of the year, the event’s silent and oral auctions are a key component of the celebration and the group has been hard at work securing donations from within the community and beyond. Attendees will have the chance to bid on a wide-range of items from gift baskets to gift certificates, vacation trips to furniture and local excursions to hardware.

“We’ve got a whole myriad of stuff (for people to bid on),” said Chamber President Susan Amort.

Those businesses and individuals interested in donation auction items can still do so by contacting Amort at 503-312-6422.

After dinner, a select number of big-ticket items will be up for bid during a live auction conducted by Chamber past president and professional auctioneer Verne Mobley. Following that, Amort will share Chamber accomplishments of the past year and goals of the future and Hart will take the stage to entertain attendees.

Another fundraising element of the event will be the return of “Mystery Boxes.” The Chamber will sell 50 of these boxes for $20 a piece, each of which will contain varying amounts of cash as well as lottery tickets. Proceeds from the sale of mystery boxes will be donated to the Kiawanda Community Center’s upcoming Christmas program to purchase gifts and treats for area children that attend.

The event will conclude with the handing out of

Page 8 • Pacific City SUN • November 23, 2018

the Chamber’s three awards, which Amort says serves as an important way to honor those that have made significant contributions over the past year.

“We all volunteer for something, but some volunteers show up almost every single day,” Amort said about the effort to recognize the year’s top volunteer.

ILLUSIONIST/MENTALIST HART KEENE, whose national credits include a performance at the CW’s “Penn and Teller: Fool Us,” will be the featured entertainer at the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce’s annual Awards Banquet and Auction.

“It’s a labor of love for those that give their time and energy to organizations that need their help.”

And she said that sentiment goes equally for the contribution of the area’s businesses.

“We certainly have a lot of businesses that do things for the community that go unrewarded, and it’s nice to be able to have (an event that) singles out a few people in our community that we might not (otherwise) know what they do. It’s never hard to find someone who has stepped up in one particular year.

We’re pretty lucky in that regard.”

Tickets for the “Lights! Camera! Auction!” are available for $50 each or $400 to sponsor a table of eight. The Chamber is also offering the following sponsorship opportunities: Event ($500), Dinner ($200), Hours D’ Oeuvres ($100), and Dessert ($100).

For more information or to reserve your tickets, contact Susan Amort at 503-312-4622 or pcnvchamber@ gmail.com.

The Festival is the only fundraiser that the Museum holds for itself each year. Heavy hors’d’oeuvres will be created by Twins Ranch Catering with some goodies being shipped to Tillamook from Italy.

Wine will be supplied by Blue Heron French Cheese Company. The Festival Committee welcomes businesses, organizations, and individuals to donate holiday wreaths, centerpieces and other festive items and baskets for the “Santa Packs” that will be auctioned the evening of the Gala. Eleven fullsized decorated Christmas trees will also be auctioned, with the winning bidders having their trees delivered and set up in the winning homes on Tuesday, Dec. 11.

This year’s proceeds will go towards funding upgrades to the blacksmith exhibit on the Lower Level of the Museum. For more information, call the Museum at 503842-4553 or visit www.tcpm.org.

Chamber to host its annual awards banquet on Dec. 4

By VERNE MOBLEY for the Chamber

Last month we talked about a long summer. But wow! Look out there today! We are already talking about Christmas and are tired of these “Black Friday” ads. Black Friday — I’ve never had one yet!!

We at the Chamber are “chompin at the bit” for our big night Tuesday, December 4th at the beautiful Kiawanda Community Center. Yep! It’s time for our whole community to get together for this time of great food, outstanding items to bid on at our auctions — both oral and silent, and another visit from Hart Keene. He was here four years ago and has since become a big-time comedian nationwide, performing in Las Vegas and other big venues. A “must see” guy!!

This is our first year holding the event at KCC as we kind of outgrew our former great spot, the Pelican. They always treated us great. We expect catering from three different businesses and adult beverages will certainly be available.

Our famous Nestucca Valley Lions Club is getting bigger and better all the time. We will initiate two new members at our next regular meeting on November 27. Our District Governor Dan Wolf will be here to swear in Lions and talk about Lionism. We will be selling See’s Candies and Christmas poinsettias at KCC on Dec. 1. You can order these from co-chairs Linda Link at 503-801-2225 or Dave Gordon at 219617-9682. Hey! Also brooms and dust pans.

It’s great to be a Chamber Member and a Lion.

Fish for free the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving ODFW is waiving all fishing licensing requirements on the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving to encourage people to #optoutside with friends and family during the long holiday weekend.

On Nov. 23 and 24, all fishing, crabbing and clamming in Oregon will be free for both Oregon residents and non-residents. That means no licenses, tags or endorsements are needed on those days. All other fishing regulations apply.

Good spots are outlined in the ODFW’s Recreation Report at https://myodfw.com/recreation-

report, which is updated on Wednesday each week.

ODFW is reminding fishing enthusiasts to check water conditions and the weather forecast before heading out and dress appropriately. They’re also cautioning anglers to be wary of high surf here at the coast.

Thanksgiving usually marks the beginning of winter steelhead season on the coast, and some early returning hatchery fish have already been caught.

For tips on how and where to fish, crab and clam, visit myodfw.com.

arly settlers could pretty much hunt whenever they needed to add to their food supply, but now all hunting in Oregon is strictly regulated. Still, I often hear the sound of gun shot in the early morning as bird season is open. My grandson is a bird hunter, but, other than that, I know very little about the sport so I decided to do some research into what kind of birds are legal to shoot in our area.

The Oregon Dept. of Fish and Wildlife publishes a book on Oregon Game Bird Regulations.

You can pick one up wherever hunting license are sold or online. There is so much information in Photo courtesy of Sally Rissel this booklet. It covers all BIRD HUNTING has a long history in the area that the hunting areas of Ordates back to early settlers. Above, this 1930s photo egon. It details the kinds depicts a hunter with his catch of ducks. Below, the of birds allowed, the time snipe is one of the birds currently legal to shoot. of day you can hunt and how you need to report what you kill. There are separate regulations for youth, disabled and falconers.

Another interesting item was about snipes.

Yes, they really exist and can be hunted all over Oregon. Often youth at summer camps were sent out at night with a sack to try and catch a few, not even knowing what they were looking for. Snipes are medium-sized shoreStock photo birds. They have a long, Marsh and the mouth of the Little Nesstraight bill and distinct tucca River east of its confluence with narrow light-colored stripes on their Nestucca Bay. Goose hunting is proback. They are often confused with a hibited. Only portable blinds or blinds dowwitcher so you need to study up constructed of on-site dead vegetation before you shoot. They are usually or driftwood may be used. All blinds found around marshes and edges of streams, wet fields, and pastures. They and decoys must be removed at the end of the day. Entry to refuge lands is are the only shorebird you can hunt in prohibited from one hour after sunset Oregon. to two hours before sunrise.

AUTOHARPIST ADAM MILLER will present his holiday sing-a-long program “Folksong of the Winter Holidays,” on Tuesday, Dec. 4, 1 p.m., at South Tillamook County Library, 6200 Camp St., Pacific City.

Stories of the Holidays

Behavioral/Mental Health CDL Exams Dental/Oral Health Environmental Health - Food, Water, Lodging, Restaurants HIV/AIDS Assistance Immunizations Nutrition & Health Education

A

calls him “one of the great autoharpists and folksingers of our times;” Pete Seeger has praised his “wonderful storytelling;” and the Walnut Valley Festival has described his performance as, “An outstanding slice of American folksongs performed with his perfectly suited voice and tasty autoharp accompaniment.”

Other plaudits he’s received include praise from the California Bluegrass Association’s Bluegrass Breakdown, which wrote, “Adam’s voice and autoharp weave a melodious tapestry” and The Ketchikan, Alaska SitNews, which said his show was “Impressively educational but also alluringly entertaining — delighting both young and old alike.”

Miller began his lifelong pursuit of collecting old songs while still in grade school. Armed with an audio-graphic memory and an uncommonly good ear for melody, his childhood ambition was to learn every song he heard. An accomplished folklorist, historian, and song-collector, he has now amassed a remarkable repertoire of more than 5,000 songs.

Folksinger Sam Hinton praised his “impeccable taste” in selecting the right songs to sing with the right audience.

Miller’s repertoire evokes a by-gone time when entertainment was homemade.

He has recorded six CDs that receive airplay across North America and Europe. His numerous appearances have included engagements at the Walnut Valley Bluegrass Festival, the Brookdale Bluegrass Festival, the Tumbleweed Music Festival, the California Traditional Music Society’s Summer Solstice Festival, and the Kentucky Music Weekend.

Musician Adam Miller returns to South Tillamook Co. Library on Dec. 4 to perform ‘Folksongs of the Winter Holidays’ utoharpist Adam Miller will lend his baritone voice and storytelling talents to the South Tillamook County Library during a holiday sing-a-long program on Tuesday, Dec. 4, 1 p.m., at the library.

“Folksongs of the Winter Holidays” will feature both well-known and not so well known traditional folks songs and carols for the New Year, Hanukkah, Christmas and the Winter Solsitice.

Miller will follow up his performance at South Tillamook County Library, 6200 Camp St., Pacific City, with a 6:30 p.m. engagement at the Hoffman Center for the Arts in Manzanita.

A master of the art of storytelling, he skillfully interweaves folksongs and the stories behind them with the elegance of a documentary filmmaker. Traveling 70,000 miles a year, this 21st-century troubadour performs more than 200 concerts annually, from the Everglades to the Arctic Circle. He has also performed in more than 2,000 American public libraries in 48 states.

“I have always had a great interest in how folksongs travel through history, and how history travels through folksongs,” says Miller.

Throughout his long career, Miller has documented and kept alive the thousands of songs and stories he has collected in his travels. Mostly selftaught, he is immersed in the oral tradition and learns just about everything by ear.

“His performance is truly entertaining and riveting,” says Frank Hamilton, co-founder of the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago and former member of the folk quartet The Weavers. “He’s doing a real service for folk music: defending the Treasury of American Tradition.”

And Hamilton isn’t the only one singing Miller’s praises. George Winston
