Pacific Coast Candy now hosts a retro-themed specialty sweets buying experience in Pacific City LUBA’s denial of appeal on Kingfisher Apartments paves way for development By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

n April 26 Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals denial of an appeal for a proposed apartment development in Pacific City has paved the way for the construction of the Kingfisher Apartments, a 25-unit planned apartment complex just south of Pacific Avenue and west of the Beachy Bridge. The development, which is being spearheaded by Kevin and Katie Shluka of Coyote Gardens, has been in the works for more than two years after it successfully won both a conditional use request and variance for the proposal from Tillamook County. That decision, though, was challenged by local homeowners. “We were quite gratified by the decision, but we were also reasonably confident that that was going to be the result,” Kevin told the Sun. “We designed this project to fit with land use ordinance and the community needs. We thought we crossed our T’s and dotted our i’s, and, so we didn’t see much opportunity for LUBA to (deny the appeal).” With the appeal in the rear view mirror, Kevin says he is looking forward to getting the project started and hopes to break ground this summer.

confident would make this just not a comfortable place to live but an elegant place to live and a point of pride for our community,” he said. “With the price of lumber going up 200 percent in last year, we don’t know exactly what that’s going to mean for building. We do know we’re going to have to work a whole lot harder to source materials and find vendors who are willing to give us a good deal given the spirit of the project. We’re rolling up our sleeves, sharpening our pencils and crossing fingers.” All said, Kevin remains optimistic Image courtesy of Jones Architecture that the project will not just provide “We’re taking all the steps we need to break needed housing but will do it in a way that will be ground this summer,” he added. “We anticipate appealing to all. that it will be a 12-month build. If we’re able “It was unfortunate that we had to take to start construction this July or August, we this all the way to LUBA, but we’re looking anticipate we can start renting in July or August forward for the opportunity to prove to everyone of 2022.” in the community that this is a great project, Though no significant changes are planned for that it’s great for the community, great for the the development, Kevin said that with the drastic neighborhood, (and) that it will look good and increase in lumber prices over the last year, much function well,” he added. “It will provide homes attention will have to be paid to the budget. to the people who need them most here in South “There (were) a lot of nice details that County.” we designed for (the complex) we were

Tillamook County in COVID-19 moderate risk category for 2nd straight week

illamook County will remain in the “Moderate” category from May 7-13 in the state’s public health framework to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Governor Kate Brown announced on May 4 updates to county risk levels under the state’s public health framework to reduce transmission and protect Oregonians from COVID-19. With the statewide seven-day average increase for hospitalized COVID-19 positive patients dropping below 15 percent, Oregon no longer meets the statewide metrics for the Extreme Risk level. Effective Friday, May 7, 15 counties will return to High Risk. In total, 24 counties will be at High Risk, four at Moderate Risk — including Tillamook County, and eight at Lower Risk. “Let me be clear: across the state, COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations are still high, and Oregon is not out of the woods yet. However, we have met the hospitalization metric established by our health experts for counties to return to High Risk. From the beginning, I have said that returning counties to the Extreme Risk level was about preserving hospital capacity and saving lives. With our statewide hospitalization rate stabilizing, our hospitals should have the capacity to continue treating patients with severe cases of COVID-19 and other serious medical conditions in the coming weeks. “Based on today’s numbers, I am keeping my commitment to Oregonians. Beginning Friday, all counties in Extreme Risk will return to High Risk. With Oregonians continuing to get vaccinated each week, my expectation is that we will not return to Extreme Risk again for the duration of this pandemic. “I know this will bring relief to many across the state. However, the lifting of Extreme Risk health and safety measures comes with great personal responsibility for us all. If Oregonians continue to keep up their guard, follow High Risk health and safety measures, and get vaccinated as fast as possible, we should see our COVID-19 case and hospitalization rates decline. I’d like to thank Oregonians for taking this surge seriously for the last several weeks. It’s because of you that our hospitals have not been overwhelmed. “Today, we also received the welcome news from the BidenHarris administration that they will be reallocating unused vaccines to the states that need them. Oregon will ask for the maximum allowed, which will help us to get shots in arms faster. Vaccinations are still our best path to protecting our loved ones, and staying on track to fully reopen our economy by the end of June.”

Fresh from the Farm Neskowin Farmers’ Market to return May 22 at new location across the street from Neskowin Wayside By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

chance to partake in some of the finest local produce you can sink your teeth into is just around the corner. The Neskowin Farmers’ Market will go live Saturday, May 22 and run every Saturday, 9 a.m.-1 p.m., though Oct. 2. Stationed at its new location on the east side of Highway 101 at the intersection of Summit Road and across from the Neskowin Wayside, the market will feature 22 vendors selling a wide range of goods that will span the gamut from fruit and vegetables to breads and pastries to eggs and cheese. Other items that will be available will include pastured meat, canned tuna, pickles, jams and preserves and crafts. And with the new location being held on private property, the market will also welcome Oregon wineries and breweries who will be selling bottled beer and wine. Brandy, too, will be amongst the adult beverages you can take home — or to a picnic on the beach. “It’s a small, sweet coastal market with a lot of diverse vendors,” said market manager Sally Moon. “We’ll have a lot of different kinds of foods from local farms. It feels like a representation of the coast.” Though the market has historically been a place to visit with neighbors and reconnect with friends, that picture is just a little bit different this year because of the ongoing pandemic.

Instead, those attending are encouraged to (safely) cross highway 101, take the path to the beach and enjoy their newly purchased food on the sandy shores of the Pacific or take them home for your own socially distanced celebration of food and drink. “It’s a really great place to pick up fresh local food and hand-made crafts and then go enjoy those things at the beach,” Moon said. Regardless, the lack of an ability to socialize doesn’t take away from the importance of the

market and the value it brings to both residents and visitors — particularly the access it provides to locally produced and grown food. “A farmer’s market coalesces all these different, awesome farmers and crafters and food preparers into one place where people can go,” Moon said. “(They can) not only meet the people who are growing their food but also purchase amazing food and know that it comes from a really good source for locals and tourists alike.”

Candidates speak out at Chamber forum

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

andidates in contested races for board of director positions for the Tillamook 911 Center, the Tillamook County Transportation District and the Nestucca Valley School District shared their perspectives on why they were running and what they hoped to do if elected during a virtual candidates forum hosted by the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce on May 4. Voters have until May 18 to drop-off their ballots. TILLAMOOK COUNTY EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS DISTRICT First up during the forum were Matt Kelly and Christopher Kruebbe, who are competing for position 3 on the Tillamook County Emergency Communications District 911 Board. Kelly, who is currently serving as undersheriff for the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office, began his career with the Tillamook 911 center after serving in the U.S. Air Force. “I decided to run for the board because (that’s) where I started in my public safety (career),” he said. “(It’s) really, really important to me to maintain the professionalism and the quality of people that work there, and to make sure that the technology, which is a huge issue with the 911, is up to date and current.” Kruebbe, who serves as a licensed clinical work supervisor, therapist and certified alcohol and drug councilor with Tillamook Medical Group, said he feels the most emergent concerns in the county involve homelessness, mental health, alcohol and drugs and intimate partner violence. “Public safety is my concern,” he added. “Public safety is changing, and we need to approach it slightly different than we have in the past. We don’t have enough support for mental health crisis or addictions or intimate partner violence or homeless as well. We need solutions to address those. And, as those solutions come about, our 911 system needs to be well versed in how to handle those situations.” TILLAMOOK COUNTY TRANSPORTATION DISTRICT Running for Position No. 3 on the TCTD

Board of directors are Jackie Edwards and Linda Adler. Edwards opened saying she is proud of the strides the district has made including growing the number of weekday peak hour buses from five to eight and the number of Dial-a-Ride vans from four to 12. “It takes time, (and) it takes money but things are improving,” she said. “The district is my passion — one of the things I’m especially proud of. and I have to say I was in for the development of…the Pacific City shuttle, and I would hate to see anything impact that negatively. These (improvements) are good things that the district is doing to bring communities together and to serve all of Tillamook County. I do care about this district very, very much. I wouldn’t be running except for the fact that I do care.” Her opponent Linda Adler also focused on Pacific City — and South County overall. “What I’d like to focus on is to bring equal coverage down to South County,” she said. “(The) free bus we’ve been providing for Pacific City has been wonderful, and I love that it’s helped relieve traffic, but I think it would be nice if we could maybe expand it to include all of Sandlake Road. (See related story, page 6.) I think it would help to serve the underserved residents and it would solve the great disparity.” She also said she has been hearing a desire from people to bring the district’s focus “back into the county.” “I’m going to start listening to the folks that have been speaking with me and try to focus on what people are telling me,” she added. “I want to bring balance to the county as well as to the board.” In the TCTD race for position no. 5, Mary Johnson did not attend the Chamber’s forum, but her challenger, Chris Kell, offered her thoughts. She called for “total transparency” at the group’s meetings as well as continued efforts to better the Pacific City free shuttle as well as service to all areas as needed. “Another thing that I would like to see (is) the Northwest Connector program expanded,” she said. “True, we go out of the area, but it helps connect our people and tourists who travel from area to area and drop their money into our small businesses, which is a really good thing.”

NESTUCCA VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT Competing for position no. 5 on the NVSD’s board of directors are Tillamook PUD human resources manager Shane Stewart and retired Nestucca High School teacher Mary Groves. Stewart, who moved here in 2017 with his wife and two children, said he knew right away he wanted to be an active member of the community. “I’ve been attending school board meetings for close to a year now and trying to learn as much as I can,” he said. “I’m somebody who really believes in community involvement and giving back to the community.” He said he wants to be a part of the solution as the school continues dealing with pandemicrelated issues. “We all know the school system right now has been taxed immensely over the last year and a half with this pandemic, and they need a lot of support. They need a lot of community involvement, and I think the way that I can get involved is being a part of the school board. I’m invested in the future of the school district. I’m invested in the future of South Tillamook County for my family and my kids. I see an opportunity to be a decision maker and be someone that can be an advocate for our kids, our parents and our community members.” For her part, Groves said she would like to leverage her 25 years of teaching experience at the district to help it not only overcome challenges related to the pandemic but also to navigate the challenges it will face as it transitions from a K-6 and 7-12 system to a K-8 and 9-12 model. “It is a huge problem and challenge to address all of these things,” she said. “We have had a tremendously difficult year or two in the educational field and how we, as a board, pilot our way back into academic realities and how we deal with that is something that needs to be accomplished with both grace and fidelity to the children. I come to this with the hope that I can offer some conversations and some thoughts about what has happened in the past. I have a lot of history with the school so I am very aware with some of the issues that are clicking along in the background that may not necessarily mean a lot normally, but, because of the extended issues this year, may very well become an issue.”

BEACHWOOD also offers a pool table, pinball machines, and an air hockey table for added fun.

Hein, too, is excited about what the restaurant offers. “We wanted to create an environment where everyone feels welcome,” she says. “We get to know people really well.” Accommodations for kids include free air hockey play and complimentary coloring books. “We also cater a lot to birthdays — including 21st birthdays,” Hein said. “We go out of our way to make sure that people have a good time for their birthday.” The eatery also offers a food special every Friday and Saturday night. Past specials have spanned a range that includes New York steak, lasagna, barbecue chicken and Tri Tip steak. As well they have two-for-one pizza specials on Friday nights. FUTURE PLANS Hein also has upgrades in mind for the future. Amongst those plans are an additional outdoor seating area behind the building as well as an outdoor bar and a stage where they will hold concerts — the first of which is planned for Saturday, May 29. Televisions are also in the works so visitors can enjoy sporting events while eating their hamburger or sipping on a beer. As well, theme nights — such as an 80s night, and a karaoke evening — are also on the horizon. And a dance floor will be made available once pandemic restrictions become a thing of the past. Meg’s Beachwood Bar and Grill is open seven days a week, 9 a.m.-11 p.m. For more information, call 503-483-1227, visit megsbeachwood.com, or find them on Facebook.

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun resh food, festive drinks, and fun atmosphere — that sums up what awaits diners at Meg’s Beachwood Bar and Grill, Pacific City’s most recent entry into the dining scene. Located just west of the four-way stop at 6425 Pacific Ave., the restaurant, which opened last February in the midst of severe COVID restrictions and the challenges that brought, is the culmination of two years of planning — an effort that co-owners Casey Hein and Mike Fossbind say has been well worth it both for them and for those they are serving. Inside, diners find a pub-like atmosphere filled with a pool and air hockey table, as well as board games, memorabilia-lined walls and, at the current time, plenty of social distancing efforts. Fare includes a wide selection of piled high, 1/3-pound hamburgers, boneless chicken wings and pizzas like you’ve probably never seen before. Amongst their signature pizzas are a taco pizza that has 10 actual tacos resting on top and it’s Pepperoni Slider Pizza, which has 10 hamburger sliders situated atop. “Our brunch burgers (a toasted brioche bun, hamburger patty, bacon, ham, over medium egg and cheddar cheese) are pretty popular because they come (so) tall,” said manager Kassey Price. Other specialties include deep-fried avocados, clam chowder, and a chicken bacon wrap, which is one of their most popular menu items. They also serve salads and a variety of sandwiches. And then there’s the drinks. Not only does the bar have a rotation of six different local and regional craft beers on tap, but they are also already developing a following for their specialty drinks, many of which are made with fresh berries. “We do a lot of fruity drinks,” Hein says. Though at maximum capacity Beachwood can serve up to 140, even with COVID restrictions as severe as 25 percent occupancy allowed, they have been accommodating 25. The restaurant also has outdoor seating available. “We wanted to create a place for families to enjoy,” Price said about the creation of Beachwood.

FREE SHUTTLE rides in Pacific City this summer will again be offered by the Tillamook County Transportation District.

A Trip Through Town

Free Pacific City Shuttle will serve tourists, locals starting on Friday, May 28

illamook County Transportation District’s free Pacific City shuttle is undergoing several expansions to accommodate the anticipated record numbers of visitors to the Pacific City-Woods area this summer. Expanded service for the shuttles, which will begin on Friday, May 28, will include shuttles Friday through Sunday as well as service to Tierra Del Mar and south to Brooten Road and Roger Avenue. There will also be 30-minute service during the mid-day peak hours. The Shuttle will also operate on Memorial and Labor Days. Though an initial request by Tillamook County Commissioners was a second bus that would just run from Tierra Del Mar to Bob Straub State Park, TCTD manager Doug Pilant told the Sun that when the district looked at it, they determined they could get better coverage if they increased the shuttle frequency to 30-minute service on the entire route. “It will be a better plan to get everyone around (with) a little more frequency,” he said. “It will be a really big improvement.” The PC Shuttle is free to anyone who wishes to ride. The Shuttle will depart Thousand Trails Campground every 30 minutes during the midday (up from 45-minute intervals last year), and departs hourly during the early morning and later afternoon/evening hours. The Shuttle will provide visitors transportation to and from most of Pacific City’s designated public parking areas to most destinations around town. Local Pacific City-Woods residents are welcome to ride the PC Free Shuttle, too. “We’re going to work harder at making sure the local residents know that the shuttle is available for them,” Pilant said. The additional Shuttle trips are being added to provide more capacity as well as to ensure

everyone can maintain social distancing transit guidelines. All passengers will be required to wear facial coverings. Children under 2-years of age are exempt. Children 2 to 12 years of age are required to wear facial coverings if possible. Pilant said that last year, there were times that, due the restrictions, some people couldn’t board the bus and had to wait for the next one. “This will reduce the wait (if that were to happen again),” he said. “I think it’s really exciting that we’re taking these kinds of steps to enhance the visitors’ experience at the coast. We’re excited about being a part of the solution (for traffic congestion in peak summer months). I know how frustrated people can get with all the tourist traffic, and I hope that this shuttle will help to remedy some of that impact.” Pilant said that the shuttle is funded out of TCTD’s general fund but is getting some promised help from Tillamook County. Tillamook County Commissioner David Yamamoto told the Sun that there will be an additional $11,000 in funds from the Transient Lodging Tax and from revenue from parking fees to forward to the Transportation District to help pay for the expanded service. “We know that parking is a huge issue,” Yamamoto said. “We are going to be routing motor homes and campers and trucks with trailers so increased shuttle service is going to be necessary to make that work. It’s going to be instrumental to resolve the huge parking issue we have here in Pacific City.” Shuttle stop times can be tracked using the free mobile app called “Transit App.” For more detailed information about the PC Shuttle Service, the public can call the TCTD Customer Service at 503-815-8283 or visit “The Wave’s” website at: https://www. nworegontransit.org/pacific-city-shuttle/.

Tillamook amongst counties receiving Travel Oregon funding The Oregon Tourism Commission, dba Travel Oregon, has awarded $2,408,124 through its Competitive & Recovery Grant Program to support economic recovery by investing in projects that enhance and expand the visitor experience and prepare communities and visitors for COVID-19 safe travel. For this grant cycle, Travel Oregon received more than 400 applications with a request greater than $18 million. In Tillamook County, two organizations received grants — Tillamook County Fairgrounds and the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum. The Fairgrounds received $5,639 for wayfinding signage, event information and safety messaging, and the Museum netted $1,430 for trail improvements and signage replacement at Kilchis Point. “These projects directly support Oregon’s tourism economy, from iconic Oregon attractions like the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, to outdoor trail development, to retrofitting outdoor events to meet public health standards,” said Todd Davidson, CEO of Travel Oregon. “Many of these entities have been closed or were unable to hold their event in the last year because of COVID. Our goal is to support these businesses, events and attractions as they operate safely, restore vibrancy and create economic stability in communities across the state.” The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted Oregon’s tourism economy. Dean Runyan & Associates’ preliminary Economic Impact of Travel in Oregon report finds that in 2020, employment related to travel declined by 22.1 percent and that total travel spending declined 49.5 percent from $12.8 billion in 2019 to $6.5 billion. Travel Oregon has developed a variety of programs to support recovery in tourism-related and supported industries as part of the state’s larger economic recovery strategy.

A Continuing Struggle

(at Nestucca Bay)

Despite recent progress, many Tillamook County families are still feeling the financial impact of COVID-19

The sun is finally shining outside my office, the temperature is rising, and I can see the flowers starting to bloom. Spring appears to have finally arrived at the Tillamook Coast. The warm weather combined with the release of the COVID-19 vaccines might make it seem like things are getting back to normal, but for too many of our friends and neighbors in Tillamook County, things are far from normal. The economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is still being felt by many of our workers and small business owners. Even as Tillamook currently remains in the “moderate risk” category, the virus is still spreading in our community, resulting in a continued threat to economic activity, and the conditions that caused so much economic hardship in 2020 seem poised to remain through 2021. As a result, many Tillamook County families continue to live on the edge of poverty and homelessness. This past year was a hard year for all of us, but especially for our Tillamook County families working in the service and hospitality industries that were particularly hard hit by the pandemic. Today, unemployment across Tillamook County, while lower than its peak last spring, continues to be higher than any other time since the Great Recession. Our seasonally adjusted total employment figures for the beginning of the year are also lower than any time since 2014. And, we still have three times as many unemployment claims than we did before the pandemic, with low-wage hospitality and service jobs continuing to be the leading source of unemployment claims in our community. All of this is occurring while housing costs in Tillamook County continue to soar. The typical price for a home in Tillamook county set a new record last year, at around

$350,000. This is up from just over $220,000 in 2012, an increase of almost 60 percent in less than 10 years! That is good for investors, but it is not good for working families looking for an affordable home to own. Yes, it is true that the eviction moratorium is still in place in Oregon, but these prices mean that fewer Tillamook County renters can become homeowners. Courtesy photo This not only invites increased uncertainty into these families, but it also increases the scarcity of affordable rentals for those experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity. At CARE, we daily see that the struggle is real for many of our friends and neighbors in Tillamook County. Every day we have clients calling or walking into our offices because they are struggling to pay the rent, or even find an affordable place to rent. So far this year, CARE has worked with more than 550 clients who are either homeless or struggling to remain housed, and we have distributed more than $135,000 in housing assistance in only the first three months of this year. As the weather improves and tourism traffic increases, many of those experiencing homelessness in our community can seem to fade from view, but do not lose sight of the many people in Tillamook County who are still struggling because of the pandemic and job losses in our low-wage industries. If you or someone you know is experiencing poverty or homelessness, or have been financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, CARE is here to help. Contact CARE at 503-842-5261. If you want to help your friends and neighbors in Tillamook County, please join CARE for our annual CARE-A-Thon fundraiser to Knock Out Poverty. To learn more, visit careinc.org.

REACH THE BEACH has canceled its fundraising rides to Pacific City for the second year due to COVID-19 concerns, but will host rides in Washington County. Photo by Tim Hirsch

Reach the Beach cancels ride to coast, will host loop rides in Washington Co. Citing health concerns and the fact that Tillamook County, at the time of the decision, was classified as High Risk for COVID-19 transmission by the State of Oregon, American Lung Association of Oregon has canceled the annual bicycle ride from the Willamette Valley to Pacific City and will instead host four loop rides within Washington County. With the change, all four rides will begin and end at Countryside Community Church in Sherwood on May 15. ALAO says the modified routes, rides of 27, 52, 76, and 100 miles, will still feature “views of several of Oregon’s beautiful wineries and countryside, rolling farmland and reduced climbing.” Part of the modified plans safety efforts includes two start and finish lines in the rides attempt to prevent crowding. As of press time, the ride had raised just over $203,000 of its $250,000 goal. For more information, visit https://action.lung.org/site/TR?fr_id=21631&pg=entry or email Juila at rtb@lung.org with questions.

Transportation District reopens its offices to public With the Tillamook County Transportation District Administrative and Operations Facility reopening its offices to the general public on May 3, the general public and social service agency personnel can now purchase passes from the dispatch office window. The general public needing to conduct business at the District offices will still be required to follow COVID-19 check-in protocols. All access to the TCTD facility will be directed through the doors at the buildings east entrance. For more detailed information about the TCTD reopening its facility to the general public, residents can send an email to bleamon@tillamookbus.com or call the TCTD Customer Service at 503-815-8283.

Nestucca Fire to host COVID-19 vaccine clinics on Fridays Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District in collaboration with the South Tillamook County Emergency Volunteer Corps (STCEVC) will be hosting vaccine clinics on Fridays at the Hebo Fire Station for anyone 16 and older at no cost. Division Chief of Training Brian Jones told the Sun that the district will host clinics as long as they can get enough people to sign up for appointments. WalkIns are also welcome. Those wishing to register for an appointment can do so by visiting https://app.blockitnow.com/ consumer/covid-care.

The Genesis of a Christian Camp By SALLY RISSEL for the Sun

hat is now Camp Wi-Ne-Ma was a pioneer campground owned by Mrs. Edna Flemming. It was a favorite camping and picnic spot for early settlers and, later, for church groups. Many children learned to swim in the lake, and baseball games took place in the summer. Pioneers first called the lake Shortridge Lake, named after Lewis Shortridge, who homesteaded nearby. Next, it was called Daley Lake, after D.R. S. Daley, a homesteader during the 1870s. However, the Fletcher family-owned property was on the other side of the lake, so many locals referred to it as Fletcher Lake. The townsite was first plotted on the shores of the lake in 1927. The Oregon Geographic Name Board settled the matter by officially changing the name to Winema Lake in 2007 because of the prolonged presence of the Wi-Ne-Ma Christian Camp there. In 1944, William Morse took a group of 26 young people to the coast from Amity on Labor Day, and not realizing how busy that holiday was, Mr. Morse found everything filled. He stumbled on the campground just north of Neskowin and got permission to have his group camp there. During WWII, the U.S. Coast Guard had a station there with horse patrols and dogs walking the beach at night. The Coast Guard told the campers that they could not have any campfires or use flashlights after dark as this was a period of blackout on the Oregon Coast. The group enjoyed their weekend so much that Morse thought it would be an

excellent place for a church camp. He talked to the owner, Flemming, and she was willing to sell. He thought it would be way too much money. She offered $5,000 for the whole property. He felt it was an offer too good to pass up. All he had was a $150 down payment, and now he needed to figure out a way to get the rest of the money. Two of his friends put up a $1,000, with $3,000 to raise. The property consisted of a half-mile of beach, the lake, and surrounding property, plus everything between the highway and beach. It had water rights and freshwater supply. They decided to sell some of the lots near the highway to raise the rest of the money. Many of those homes are still there today. The lake attracted flocks of duck and geese, which made good hunting until game laws prohibited it. There was a wooden flue across the lake to supply fresh spring water for the campers on the beach. At the mouth of the lake was a stream that drained into the ocean, where large salmon could be caught with pitchforks, as many as 16-20 in a single tide. At the southern end of the lake was a natural water lily pond. The new church camp made the U.S. Coast Guard horse barn into the dining hall. There was no electricity, and the campers used kerosene lanterns for light. Wi-Ne-Ma Christian Camp has been there for more than 75 years serving as a camp for youth, family conferences, and retreat. 2020 has proved a challenge due to Covid-19, and the camp has not been able to offer the usual schedule of youth camps. Those interested can visit winema.org for updates as to when they are ready to resume activities again.

Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth Pacific Coast Candy is bringing a retro themed specialty sweets buying experience to Pacific City By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

ot a sweet tooth for a taste of taffy? Drooling at the thought of indulging in a scoop of Tillamook ice cream? There’s a new shop with all that and more as Pacific City now has it’s own specialty candy store. Pacific Coast Candy, located at the Shops at the Village at 34950 Brooten Rd., Pacific City, opened on Saturday, May 1 to great fanfare and many visitors eager to try its tempting treats. The effort is the brainchild of John and Leslie Batdorf of Portland, where John works in banking and Leslie in the medical field. They say they decided to open a candy shop here after buying a home here almost five years ago and noting that a specialty candy store was one thing that was missing from the shopping scene. John said the goal is to give customers yet another special experience they can enjoy during their visit to the beach. “We wanted a fun (place) where people can come in — from the music we’re playing to the products we offer,” he said. “We wanted something that took the older people back (to when they visited the beach as children) and put a sparkle in the younger kids’ eyes.” Inside the brightly lit store, candy of all kinds abounds — from 60 bins of bulk candy to 22 flavors of saltwater taffy to an overflowing mixture of boxed candy classics. Popcorn — in resealable bags — also are there to tempt tastebuds as is a selection of eight rotating flavors of Tillamook ice cream that can be served on homemade waffle cones or in a dish. And there’s also specialty chocolates with a selection including favorites like truffles, caramels,

marshmallow bars, seafoam chocolate and flavored jelly sticks. Both retro and common sodas are also chilled for consumption. All that has added up to an enthusiastic

SALTWATER TAFFY and classic boxed candies are only a few of the sweet items offered at Pacific Coast Candy.

initial response. “It was really fun to see customers come in and say: ‘Oh, I haven’t seen this since I was a kid,’” Leslie said. Pacific Coast Candy is open 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Thursday through Monday. Those hungry for something sweet can find them at 34950 Brooten Road at the Shops at the Village. For hours and more information, visit pacificcoastcandy.com or call 503-4831250..

Taking a Page from Willy Wonka Pelican Brewing celebrates birthday month with a ‘Golden’ Pelican bottle cap giveaway Pelican Brewing Company is releasing new commemorative bottle caps featuring a custom 25th birthday logo and 25 unique pelicans under the cap to celebrate 25 years of beer. Followers of the brewery can also take part in a year-long search for the special golden pelican and win a coastal trip to Pelican’s oceanfront brewpub in Pacific City. Ten lucky winners of the golden pelican bottle cap giveaway will receive a two-night stay in an Airstream at Hart’s Camp Airstream Hotel & RV Park and a $250 Pelican Brewing gift card to purchase awardwinning beer, beer-inspired cuisine, or Pelican merchandise while visiting the birthplace of Oregon’s most decorated brewery. To participate, beer fans purchase their favorite bottled Pelican beer like Raspberried at Sea Volume II or Cape Crasher IPA, featuring the new 25th birthday bottle cap. Next, participants look under the bottle cap to see if they have a golden pelican that says, “You Won!” Then, golden pelican winners submit a form and a picture of their winning bottle cap by visiting https://pelicanbrewing.com/golden-pelican/ to redeem their prize. Winners must submit their golden pelican bottle cap to Pelican upon arrival to redeem their two-night stay and gift card. Participants must be 21+ to enter. No purchase necessary to enter. Pelican Brewing Company was born at the

beach in 1996. Here, in front of a rundown old building at the water’s edge, stood three enthusiastic young folks whose thirst for great beer overshadowed their understanding of what it would take to build a brewery. They did it anyway. Thanks to the vision of founding owners Jeff Schons and Mary Jones and brewmaster Darron Welch, Oregon’s only beachfront brewpub became one of the state’s most popular destinations. And now 25 years later, Pelican Brewing Company is an iconic beach brand and one of the most decorated craft breweries in Oregon. Pelican has been honored with more than 450 awards including the prestigious 2015, 2016, 2017 Australian International Beer Awards Champion Medium International Brewery; 2014 World Beer Cup Champion Small Brewery; 2013 Great American Beer Festival Large Brewpub of the Year, and most recently in 2020 at the Great American Beer Festival for Updrift IPA that took home Silver in the American-style IPA category. Pelican operates brewing and brewpub facilities in Pacific City, Cannon Beach, a soon to be opened Siletz Bay location, and its state-ofthe-craft brewery in Tillamook, Oregon where it brews 40,000 barrels of award-winning beer annually and distributes to six states.
