Full house gathers for NVASI fundraiser Surf and Turf raises an estimated $40,000 for future ball fields

DINERS (at left) receive their first course of a Surf-n-Turf fundraiser dinner for Nestucca Valley Athletic Supporters, Inc. The Feb. 22 silent auction (below, at left) and dinner raised approximately $40,000 towards future ball fields to be located behind Nestucca Valley Elementary School. Superintendent Misty Wharton (below, at right) leads a fundraiser in which she made the case to donate for the cause.

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun A full house helped the Nestucca Valley Athletic Supporters, Inc. raise a record amount at their third annual Surf and Turf Dinner and Silent Auction fundraiser on Saturday, Feb. 22.

Though final numbers weren’t available at press time, NVASI vice president Josh Armstrong told the Sun he expects the event to earn the nonprofit approximately $40,000 on the strength of a sell-out of all 200 tickets available. A silent auction and other fundraising activities also helped to bolster the bottom line.

As a fundraiser, the event will help support the future development of four athletic fields that will eventually be built behind Nestucca Valley Elementary School. The fields will consist of game fields for baseball and softball as well as a practice field for each.

A planned feature of all four field will be to make them easily convertible from baseball to softball so that NVASI can host tournaments using all four fields.

“It went really well,” Armstrong said about the event. “The people attending were happy, and I feel it was a tremendous success.”

He added that he is encouraged about the growing popularity of the event as he

believes that is indicative of NVASI’s goal of being more well-known and supported.

“It’s getting to the point that people are realizing we’re serious,” he added. “People are starting to see things are happening and they want to

be a part of it. When they see the kids (at the event) serving the tables, they know what (the money raised) is for — it’s for these kids.”

inbrief Woman suffers head injury at Sandlake Recreational Area Emergency responders responded to a single-vehicle incident on the beach at Sandlake Recreational Area on Feb. 22 in which a 35-year-old driver of an ATV complained of head pain.

Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office Sand Lake deputy was the first to locate the woman and assisted with care until fire and medical units arrived.

According to a release from the TCSO, there were no witnesses to the speed or activity prior to the crash and the rider could not recall the incident. The rider suffered significant head trauma and was Life Flighted to Portland where she was admitted to the intensive care unit for unspecified head injuries.

Reportedly, officials determined the injuries would have been much worse and potentially fatal if not for wearing a proper helmet.

Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by Nestucca Rural Fire, Adventist Ambulance, Life Flight, US Forest Service, and Tillamook 911.

Kruebbe enters county commissioner race Bay City mayor to focus on mental health programs, business, and independence

Bay City Mayor Christopher Kruebbe has announced his candidacy for the Tillamook County Board of Commissioners, Position No. 2.

A licensed clinical social worker and certified addictions and drug counselor for Tillamook Medical Group, Kruebbe says he would like to focus on the county’s mental health programs, as well as work to improve the business climate of the county.

In his time in Tillamook County, Kruebbe’s volunteer works has included working as a volunteer firefighter with the Bay City Fire Department, serving on the board of directors for both the Bay City Arts Center and the Women’s Resource Center (now Tides of Change), and a stint on the leadership team for the Tillamook County Crisis Intervention Stress Management Team.

He said that he’d like to see the recently started Behavioral Health Court continue to develop.

“I think we need a drug treatment program here in Tillamook,” he said.

We don’t have a detox or rehabilitation program here. We need that in Tillamook County.”

He also said a drug treatment program could pay dividends as oftentimes people in rehabilitation, after treatment, can make good counselors.

Kruebbe is also stressing his status as an “independent” candidate. He noted that while members of the county commission are elected as nonparti-

san candidates, he feels that not being registered as a republican or democrat allows him to better bridge the divide between party lines.

“I think I can make a difference,” he said. “I’ve made a difference in Bay City, and I feel like I can make a difference at the county as well.”

Kruebbe also is pointing at the state’s “Cap and Trade” bill as an area of concern.

“I don’t think it’s a good idea,” he said. “In one regard, greenhouse emissions are a problem, but we shouldn’t put a bill in place that will eliminate a whole industry. I feel it’s written in

a way that could (doom) the lumber industry here.”

He also said he wants to attract businesses — small and large — to the county.

“We need to support small business,” he said. “We need to create an environment where small businesses can come in — and even corporations.

We don’t have enough competition.”

Kruebbe also said he wants to keep Tillamook’s parks attractive so that it can attract the “right kind of business” to the county.

SHERIFF JIM HORTON shared his goals for the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office during a Feb. 23 meet and greet held at Pelican Brewing – Pacific City.

A Promise to Protect and Serve At ‘Meet and Greet’ event, Horton pledges to bring 24-hour patrol to the area

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun South Tillamook County residents gathered on Feb. 23 at Pelican Brewing — Pacific City to hear Tillamook County Sheriff Jim Horton’s goals for his office as he embarks on a campaign to win election this year.

Horton, who was appointed last August by Tillamook County Commissioners after former Sheriff Andy Long’s retirement, will face voters in May if there are more than two candidates and in November if only two run for the position. As reported in the Jan. 17 issue of the Sun, senior patrol deputy Josh Brown is also running for the position, but as of press time, no other candidate had yet filed.

In his remarks, Horton first emphasized his dedication to bringing a 24-hour patrol presence to Tillamook County.

“We think we’ll be able to do that in the next couple of months…give or take,” he told the crowd of about 30. “It’s a work in progress (but) that is the goal — to have (it) in place sooner rather than later.”

He followed that up by noting his desire to address the mental health crisis in the county. Horton said that a lot of the calls the Sheriff’s Office receives involve those suffering from a mental health disorder or some other form of crisis.

“These individuals find themselves in the justice system on some level — whether that’s a low-level crime (or) a disturbance of some type, (the justice system) is not the place for them,” he explained.

He said the Sheriff’s Office, with the help of community partners, circuit judges and District Attorney Bill Porter, has developed a behaviorial health court.

“We’re able to identify people who are suffering from a crisis, get them the

services they need, involve them in the behaviorial health court as we try to defer or mitigate some criminal penalties that occur with behavior, get them out of the criminal system and back to the community where they can be selfsustaining and productive members of society,” he said. “It’s going very well so far so we’re very proud of that. We want to continue (it).”

Horton also said he has a heart for protecting children and families.

“Being a child abuse detective for many years, it really is something that’s very important,” he said. “We have developed a child abuse assessment center, which is something the county didn’t have until recently. Myself, (and) other members of the community were very involved in the development of that center. It still is in development, but we are seeing children at Tillamook Family Counseling, (and) conducting forensic interviews. We hope to continue to expand that program. To me, it’s one of the most important pieces that we offer the community. It’s a very good thing.

The sheriff also said he’d focus on emergency preparedness in his election campaign, promised to run an open and transparent department, and said it was time for a school resource program in South County.

“I think it’s very important that we have a law enforcement presence in the schools to deal with some of the issues with students that come up from time to time,” he said. “(We’d) also be there to be role models, (to provide) a connection to our kids.”

He added that such a program would provide for better response times for South County.

Finally, Horton addressed the possibility of adding a full-time deputy to the area that could be financed by the Pacific City Parking Management Plan.

That plan, which commissioners approved last year, includes an effort to add paid parking to the county-owned Cape Kiwanda parking lot.

“The hope is that through this parking plan we can generate enough funds to have dedicated deputies to the Pacific City-Neskowin area without increasing the cost to taxpayers.”

NRFPD to begin developing pre-fire plans for businesses within the district’s area

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun In its effort to be better prepared should it need to fight fires at area businesses, the Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District is beginning the process of completeing pre-fire plans for area businesses.

NRFPD Fire Chief Jim Oeder recently told the Sun that the pre-fire plans will help instruct the district on where hazards are and the location of exits when it comes down to dousing a blaze.

He said he plans to begin distributing letters explaining the program at the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce noon business meeting on March 3, at Kiawanda Community Center, and will follow that up with mailing the explanatory letter to those not present. Oeder said the letter will address the purpose of the pre plans and alert businesses that district staff will be making visits.

To develop the plans, Oeder said district staff will make on-site visits beginning in late March. In doing so, they’ll address many important issues should a fire break out including diagramming where different hazards are, identifying escape routes and fire exits, noting the locations of hazardous materials, and updating the district’s emergency contact database.

Together with the district’s recent focus on doing more fire prevention programs and its hiring of an expanded

staff financed by an operating levy, the development of the plans is expected to help improve the district’s Insurance Services of Oregon rating, which in turn is expected to lower homeowner insurance rates for many property owners.

Though, district wide, the pre-fire plans won’t likely be completed for a year to 18 months, Oeder said that by having the program active, they should get recognition for the insurance rating.

He added the same should hold true for Nestucca Fire’s increased focus on fire prevention.

“If we can show the programs are go-

The on-site visits are slated to begin in late March.

ing, and we’re doing them, (ISO) will give us credit,” he said.

He said he expects it to be about a six-month project to get everything checked off and to get ISO to re-rate the district.

“I’m hoping that by the end of the year or the first part of 2021 we should have everything back to us on the reevaluation and we’ll be able to announce (the results) sometime in that timeframe.”

PELICAN BREWING SALMON RUN starts at 10 a.m., Saturday, March 28 at Pelican Brewing – Tillamook. Registration is now open for the event, which is a fundraiser for the Salmon SuperHwy habitat restoration initiative. To register, visit runsignup.com/Race/OR/Tillamook/PelicanBrewingSalmonRun.

Saving the Salmon

Registration now open for Pelican Brewing Salmon Run, featuring 5K, 10K, and 15K races on March 28 Registration is now open for the Pelican Brewing Company’s third annual Pelican Brewing Salmon Run, Saturday, March 28. The 5K, 10K and 15K run starts at 10 a.m. at Pelican’s Tillamook Brewpub. The chip-timed race will run through the Tillamook countryside and is a fund- and awarenessraiser for The Salmon SuperHwy, a salmon habitat restoration initiative in Tillamook County.

Runners can register online at runsignup.com/Race/OR/Tillamook/ PelicanBrewingSalmonRun through Wednesday, March 25, 7 p.m. Participants can also partake in a post-race bash at the brewery featuring brewery tours, live music and more. And it’s also being billed as a family affair — parents are encouraged to sign the kids up to run a fun 100-yard dash.

(No shirts and swag offered to kids.)

All participants will receive exclusive Pelican Brewing Salmon Run swag including an official Pelican Brewing Salmon Run race shirt and pint glass, live post-race entertainment, music and festivities; and a pint of Pelican Brewing Five Fin West Coast Pilsner (21+). Runners under the age of 21 will be treated to a pint of Pelican Brewing Root Beer.

“Pelican has worked hard to ensure the best Salmon Run yet — it’s really an all-round different experience for runners with a beautiful new streamlined race course through some of the most scenic parts of Tillamook,” says one of the race organizers, Kaylan Sisco, CEO and executive director of the Tillamook County Family YMCA, which is collaborating with professional event firm Scovel Racing to ensure a premier family-friendly experience.

“We planned the Salmon Run for March to really kick off the running season and coincide with Spring Break — we hope families will consider this a destination for their seasonal vacation.”

The entry fee for the 5K is $35, $40 for the 10K and $45 for the 15K through March 25 with free entry for children 5 years of age and younger. There is an additional $3 registration fee as well.

Pelican brews its award-winning Five Fin West Coast Pilsner specially to support the salmon recovery efforts. Oregonians can assist the 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 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. I would also like to express our gratitude to Kaylan Sisco and the Tillamook County YMCA for stepping in and helping us execute the event this year.”

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 reportedly 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. Officials say that 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.

Forum to address tourism challenges Public invited to explore opportunities, challenges facing tourism during North Coast Tourism Community Forum

The first free and open to the public North Coast Tourism Community Forum will bring residents and local businesses together when it meets Monday, March 9, 10:30 am.-2:30 p.m., at McMenamins Hotel in Gearhart. A complimentary lunch will be served. Registration is available at https://www.eventbrite. com/e/oregon-north-coast-tourismforum-tickets-91491464433.

Noting that both residents and local businesses are all impacted by tourism and that overtourism in Oregon is currently a hot topic in certain parts of the state, the North Coast Tourism Management Network is offering the event for North Coast residents and tourism professionals to network and engage in a larger conversation about tourism.

“The North Coast is clearly entering a new part of its destination ‘lifecycle,’ said Kristin Dahl, vice president of destination development for Travel Oregon. “Key to moving forward will be finding the right balance between the economic and social benefits of tourism, and the impacts that

high visitation can have on traffic, local services, natural resources and quality of life.”

Topics of discussion will also include the history of tourism on the North Oregon Coast, how tourism is currently impacting businesses and residents, tourism trends, innovative sustainable tourism practices and how other communities are addressing these issues.

There will be important updates from the North Coast Tourism Management Network as well as presentations by Travel Oregon staff. The North Coast Tourism Management Network represents 24 organizations and agencies on the North Oregon Coast from Astoria to Pacific City.

This community forum is sponsored by Travel Oregon, Oregon Coast Visitors Association, Tillamook Coast Visitors Association, Astoria Warrenton Chamber of Commerce, City of Seaside and Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce.

The NCTMN is a collaboration between Clatsop and Tillamook counties to address and mitigate issues related to tourism and its impact on north coast communities. The network is supported

by Travel Oregon and the tourism organizations on Oregon’s north coast.

Tillamook Coast Visitors Association is the network manager for this organization.

Workgroup develops opioid use disorder strategic plan

A group of key community leaders and stakeholders has developed a strategic plan that provides a framework for addressing opioid use disorder (OUD) in Tillamook County. RCORP Tillamook— the workgroup behind the plan — spent two months reviewing needs assessment data and gathering input from the substance use disorder (SUD) treatment and recovery community. Core consortium members include: Adventist Health Tillamook; CARE, Inc., The Rinehart Clinic, Tillamook County Community Health Centers, and the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office.

This strategic plan includes data collected while working on the Tillamook County SUD/OUD gap analysis and further explores proposed best-practice strategies and interventions in a threeyear timeline to address the three themes of: 1) pain management and prescribing practices; 2) addiction, treatment and recovery; and 3) harm reduction and education.

“It has been exciting to be a part of this work group of community leaders and stakeholders as we come together and grapple with the need in our communities for a coordinated and effective approach to improving the health of Tillamook County residents who struggle

with substance use disorder,” shared Erin Skaar, executive director of CARE, Inc. “I look forward to a time when what we’ve done in Tillamook County is held up as a best practice for other communities to follow.”

The strategic plan was submitted to HRSA in January and the full document is available online on AdventistHealthTillamook.org. Other grant-funded planning documents include the needs assessment, which was completed in December 2019, along with a workforce plan, and a sustainability plan, both to be completed

by May 2020.

Funding for the RCORP Tillamook planning project was awarded to Adventist Health Tillamook through a $200,000 rural communities opioid response program-planning (RCORP-P) grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

With this funding, RCORP Tillamook is creating a sustainable and comprehensive community plan to address gaps and opportunities in Tillamook County’s access to services for addictions treatment and recovery. The planning process will also include strategies to strengthen the care provider workforce.

Habitat makes plans to build on Hebo property Tillamook County Habitat for Humanity announced on Feb. 27 that it will begin opening the family selection process on March 16 for both two attached townhomes in Tillamook and for a single-family home in Hebo. Applications can be completed at tillamookhabitat.org and will be due by April 20. The program serves families that earn between 30 and 80 percent of median income.

The Tillamook townhomes are currently under construction with the foundation just recently poured and the Hebo home — a long awaited project that has been anticipated for more than a decade — will get underway in the 2021-22 fiscal year. The Hebo home is anticipated to break ground in March 2021.

“It’s a priority of ours to get a house built in Hebo,” said Cami Aufdermauer, executive director of Tillamook County Habitat for Humanity. “The community’s been very supportive of (a home being built there). It will be a single-familyhome built to the size of the family (selected).”

Aufdermauer said she is encouraging all low-income families that feel they’re

ready for home ownership to apply.

“We look at three things when determining if someone qualifies: need, the ability to pay, and a willingness to partner — every family or individual is required to do 500 hours of sweat equity.”

Advantages for low-income families include the fact that each home is tailored to their family’s size and the mortgage is geared so that they do not spend more than 30 percent of their income on their mortgage — including principal and interest.

Both the Tillamook and Hebo projects will be based on a land trust model in which land ownership will stay with Habitat.

“It allows a family to build equity, but someday, when they choose to sell, there’s a restriction that allows the property to stay in the affordable housing market,” she said. “It’s a way to make sure than in the future there are homes that are affordable in our community.”

Those interested in volunteering for Habitat’s low-income housing efforts are encouraged to contact the organization by visiting tillamookhabitat.org.

‘Forest of Tidelands’ to be focus of talk at Pelican Pub A presentation entitled “Littleknown Forests of the Tidelands – Oregon’s Mysterious Tidal Swamps, Past and Present” will be shared by Laura Brophy, of the Institute of Applied Ecology, at a “Science on Tap” event at Pelican Brewing – Pacific City, Thursday, March 12, 6-8 p.m. The Nestucca, Neskowin and Sand Lake Watersheds Council hosted event is free and open to the public.

Brophy is the director of the Estuary Technical Group at the Institute for Applied Ecology in Corvallis. For more than 20 years, she has provided leadership in science-based decision support for estuary restoration and conservation in the Pacific Northwest and U.S. West Coast. Through Brophy’s participation in collaborative groups that share the common goal of improving estuary restoration science and application, she has been credited with being central to the recent renaissance of estuary restoration planning in the West. In these collaborations, Brophy has led the development of several heavily-used spatial mapping tools for estuary man-

agement and climate change adaptation planning.

Her talk will address the beauty of estuaries and their salt marshes — marshes with intricate, winding channels and mud flats with wheeling flocks of shorebirds and clam beds for the adventurous forager. It will also address the tidal forests of salt-tolerant Sitka spruce, which contain deep tidal channels that shelter young salmon on their way to the sea. Per acre, tidal swamps reportedly store more carbon than almost any other ecosystem on earth. However, since settlement times, 95 percent of these tidal forests have been logged and converted to farmland.

Today, many are working hard to learn how these tidal forests work, and how to restore them. Brophy’s presentation is being billed as a chance to learn surprising facts about these long-lost tidal forests and what people are doing to bring them back.

The Tillamook County Cultural Coalition, a local arm of the Oregon Cultural Trust, is now taking applications for members of its Board of Directors. TCCC Board members serve as local ambassadors for the Oregon Cultural Trust and collaborate with the Trust to re-grant funds to worthy cultural projects in the county.

Funded projects in Tillamook County fall into one or more of the following categories: cultural education, community arts, heritage, environment, and/or traditions.

More information about the Oregon Cultural Trust may be found at: www.culturaltrust.org.

Volunteer TCCC board members must have a knowledge of and dedication to cultural endeavors in the county, be prepared to participate in regularly scheduled meetings (four or five each year), and participate with at least one working group. Members may be affiliated with a cultural organization but would be excused from discussion of that organization should it apply for a TCCC grant.

The board consists of representatives from north, central, and south county who serve three-year rotating terms (some members retiring and others added each year).

Applications are now being accepted for all areas of the county.

To obtain an application form or request more information, write the Board Chair at TillamookCCC@ gmail.com.

Pie Night to deliver slice of heaven South County Pie Night returns March 14 to raise funds for programs addressing food insecurity

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun It’ll be a sweet way to celebrate Pi Day — or night in this case — when four area nonprofits join forces in Pacific City on Saturday, March 14 to tempt taste buds and pocketbooks in support of a variety of programs that serve food insecure families in the area.

The sixth annual South County Pie Night will get underway at 7 p.m. at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City, for the annual fundraiser, which is scheduled to run until 9 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults or S5 for children under 12 with funds going towards programs that are seeking to lessen food insecurity in Tillamook County.

Hosted by the event’s four beneficiaries — Food Roots, Pacific City Farmers Market, Neskowin Farmers Market and South County Food Pantry, the event will start off with a live pie auction in which attendees will bid on 30 pies donated by a variety of restaurants and individual bakers. The extravaganza will be led by master of ceremonies Kevin Shluka of Coyote Gardens and professional auctioneer Verne Mobley. Pies to be auctioned off will come from local renowned bakers as well as from political and governmental dignitaries. Beer from Pelican Brewing and wine from Twist Wine Co. and Silas Wines will be available for purchase.

“Having that many beautiful and delicious pies in one place is awesome,” said Pie Night chair Lainie Koch. “It’s a very fun and appropriate way to raise money for food-related organizations. The funds raised are so meaningful to all four organizations, because they all run on very small budgets. It helps tremendously.”

And adding a touch of musical flair to the evening will be musician Donna Jose, who will play a selection of rock, folk, ballads and originals. The event’s last act will be a pie feast where attendees can partake in an all-you-can-eat piling up of donated local pies and ice cream donated

by Tillamook County Creamery Association. There will also be non-alcoholic beverages and coffee available during the feast.

Founded in 2006 in Tillamook, Food Roots (foodrootsnw.org) seeks to grow a more robust food system on the North Oregon Coast by engaging the community, supporting farmers and entrepreneurs, and improving access to local food. The organization works throughout Tillamook County and conducts specific activities in South County, including providing garden-based lessons to Nestucca Valley Elementary, Nestucca Valley Early Learning Center, and Neskowin Valley School

vino or beer, and secure a good seat.

ANTONETTE LAMERS, owner of Antonette’s Kitchen in Tillamook, opened Antonette’s Kitchen South on Feb. 18 in Cloverdale. Antonette’s focuses on homemade soups and gourmet sandwiches. Turkey sandwiches, the Jammin’ and the Gobbler, are noted as customer favorites. Antonette’s also has a limited breakfast menu available with more planned to come, and ice cream and milkshakes.

Classic Cuisine, Modern Twist Dining returns to downtown Cloverdale with opening of Antonette’s Kitchen South

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun Dining is back in downtown Cloverdale thanks to the Feb. 18 opening of Antonette’s Kitchen South.

Housed adjacent to The Rusty Cow along Highway 101, the new eatery features the talents of Antonette Lamers, who is focusing on homemade soups and gourmet sandwiches.

She describes the menu as reminiscent of items her grandparents used to make — with a modern twist. Soups are all freshly made and the sandwiches, for which she slices her own meats and cheeses, are made from scratch as much as is possible.

Open from 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, the deli is also serving up a limited breakfast menu of breakfast sandwiches, but Lamers has plans to bolster early morning offerings soon. She also plans to add four- to five-course “pop-up” dinners on Fridays and Saturdays by summer.

“We do our best to try to use local products,” she said. “We try to use sustainable and recyclable (practices). That’s really important to us.”

She said amongst the crowd favorites are the Jammin,’ which features sliced turkey, bacon jam, swiss cheese and fresh spinach on grilled sourdough and the Gobbler, with its sliced turkey, cranberry sauce, cream cheese, Circe’s Garden sunflower sprouts and Cowboy Candy served on a toasted hoagie.

The menu also includes vegan items such as the PDX Toast — half an avocado, hummus, cucumber and spring mix served on open-faced, gluten-free bread, and North West Crunch, a salad featuring diced apple, Craisins, shredded carrots, tri-colored quinoa, pickled red onions, fresh avocado and toasted walnuts on a bed of spring mix.

As well, ice cream treats — including scoops on fresh-made waffle cones — are available for those needing to satisfy their sweet tooth. Milk shakes and a select variety of sundaes are also on the menu.

But whatever the menu choice, the eatery itself offers something worth the stop, Lamers says.

“It’s just a nice comfortable place to come and get a good cup of soup.

Everybody knows everybody here. It’s a nice community gathering area to just sit and relax. It’s good to just kind of have a place to have a nice chill environment and good food.”

Lamers brings to the new deli her experience operating Antonette’s Kitchen in Tillamook, a food cart located across from Tillamook Regional Medical Center, which she has run since 2017. She also brings with her years of fine dining experience having graduated from Western Culinary Institute in Portland and spending 13 years there at various establishments honing her craft. She’s also no stranger to the South County area as she graduated from Nestucca High in 2001 and has worked at the same location while in school when it was a soda fountain.

For more information or to phone or text your carry-out order, call 503457-8569. Orders can also be made via messaging the diner at facebook.com/ AntonettesKitchen/.
