Clover’s Day Parade to highlight area’s dairy community, nation’s independence Central Oregon Coast is now open for razor clamming The Oregon Department of Agriculture and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife recently announced the opening of the central Oregon coast for recreational razor clam harvesting. Razor clamming is now open from Cape Lookout (just south of Netarts Bay) to the California border. Recent shellfish samples taken from the area indicate levels of the marine biotoxin domoic acid have fallen below the closure limit. Razor clam harvesting remains closed from the Columbia River to
Cape Lookout because domoic acid toxin levels are above the closure limit. Mussel, bay clam and crab harvesting remain open along the entire Oregon Coast. Coastal scallops are not affected by biotoxin closures when only the adductor muscle is eaten. ODA does not recommend eating whole scallops. Commercial shellfish products sold in stores and restaurants remain safe for consumers. Paralytic shellfish toxin and domoic acid

toxin are produced by algae and originate in the ocean. ODA will continue to test for shellfish toxins twice per month, as tides and weather permit. Reopening an area closed for biotoxins requires two consecutive tests with results below the closure limit. For more information, the public can call ODA’s shellfish biotoxin hotline at 800448-2474, the ODA Food Safety Division at 503-986-4720, or visit oregon.gov/oda/Pages/ default.aspx.
CARE-A-Thon raises $20,000 for poverty fighting services In its first-ever CARE-A-Thon fundraising event to Knock Out Poverty in Tillamook County, CARE raised $20,000 for local poverty fighting services. Proceeds from this year’s event will go directly into CARE’s client services fund. This fund supports assistance for the basic needs of families and individuals experiencing poverty and homelessness in the county. CARE officials say this is a major accomplishment, but that the organization still missed its goal of $30,000. That said, there is still time to make a difference before the end of CARE’s fiscal year. Those that did not participate in the event, but want to support poverty fighting services in the community, can make a donation to the CARE-A-Thon until June 30 by visiting careinc.org/donate or by sending a donation to 2310 First Street, Suite 2, Tillamook, OR 97141. “On behalf of all our staff, volunteers, and especially our clients, I want to thank everyone who came out in support of the CARE-A-Thon,” said Peter Starkey, executive director of CARE. “We knew this year’s event was going be different because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we honestly did not know what to expect, but the wonderful people of Tillamook County once again rallied to fight poverty and raise $20,000 for their friends and neighbors in the community.” Through CARE’s social services division, there are numerous funds and funding sources that support rental assistance or energy assistance, but, according to CARE, those are just two of any number of challenges facing low-wage workers and those experiencing homelessness in Tillamook County. Officials say that for all these other challenges, like unexpected car repairs, prescription medications, bus tokens and so much more, CARE relies on its client services fund. CARE’s spring fundraising event is the primary source of support for the client services fund, which is why the success of the CARE-A-Thon is so important in fighting poverty in the county and why CARE has plans to grow this event in the years to come. “We hope to build on the success of this year’s CARE-A-Thon and add a family friendly, in-person component to the event next year,” Starkey added. “We want to give the community an opportunity to come together once again and show their support for poverty fighting services in Tillamook County while having a lot of fun in the process. We are not sure what this will look like yet, but it will be in May 2022, it will be in person, and it will be fun for the whole family. We look forward to seeing you there and to your support as we strive to Knock Out Poverty in Tillamook County.” To learn more about CARE, its various programs or opportunities to get involved, visit CAREinc. org and like them on Facebook @ TillamookCARE.

Cold Water Coffee is Pacific City’s newest place for your caffeine fix By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun
W
ith its surfer’s vibe and promise of coffee with the highest quality, Pacific City’s newest place to get a jolt of java received rave reviews in its first week. Cold Water Coffee opened June 12 at the Shops at the Village complex in downtown Pacific City to an enthusiastic response. Owned and operated by the husband-wife team of TJ and Lauren Olson, Cold Water Coffee is open Thursday through Tuesday, 6 a.m.-2 p.m. with expanded hours on the horizon. The new coffee spot offers a wide selection of coffee drinks from lattes to americanos, espresso to mochas, and iced drinks to blended creations. Also on the menu are a variety of sandwiches, fruit smoothies, and bakery goods from Sara Sotas Bakery in Tillamook. And complimentary WiFi will be available for those wishing to get a little work done while sipping their latte. Signature drinks include the Kraken, blended cold brew with sea salt chocolate and macademia nut that’s topped with whipped cream; the Spicy Typhoon, honey mocha with cayenne pepper; and the Gaz, a drink in honor of famed, the late and great local surfer Gary Gregg, that’s comprised of coconut mocha with coconut milk. The new café also boasts an atmosphere that points to the cold-water surfing scene here on the Oregon Coast, a scene that even the name of the café tips its hat to. “The cold-water culture is a big thing (for
Pacific City
SUN
us),” TJ explained. “It’s where our name came from.” He also pointed to the laid-back and cozy setting coffee drinkers will find at Cold Water Coffee. “It’s just a cool space,” says TJ. “We put some time and effort in making it comfortable.” Part of that effort includes décor such as rock features on the wall and on the bar as well as a live-edge countertop. The Olsons are also seeking to develop a live music scene at the coffee shop. And, to that end, they’ll host the musical stylings of Dylan Crawford on June 19, noon-2 p.m. And in a nod to the Pacific City art scene, the walls feature the photography of local artist Nathan Holstedt. Providing some surfing motif are boards shaped by Al Ciske of Nme Surfboards. Lauren, who has been serving coffee lovers at various locations — including Stimulus Coffee — since she was a teen, says opening a coffee hangout geared towards locals but also welcoming to tourists has been a dream of the couple. “We’re definitely (focused) on putting out quality coffee,” she says. “We’re really particular on the roaster (Caravan Coffee) we choose and how we process all of our coffee because we make our own cold brew. We’re not just slinging shots out. We’re taking our time to make sure every shot is right.” For more information about Cold Water Coffee, visit coldwater-coffee.com, follow them on Instagram @coldwaterandcoffee, or call 503483-1350.

he fight against MS will get back in the ring after a one-year absence when the MJN Slingball Tournament returns to the sands of Cape Kiwanda, June 26-27. The 14th annual event was delayed for a year courtesy of the COVID-19 pandemic — as so many events were forced to in 2020 — but organizers Randy and Carter Neu say they’re excited to once again be hosting the two-day event in an effort to bring awareness to those afflicted with multiple sclerosis. The event features a double-elimination adult tournament ($75) as well as the Mini Marilyn Tournament ($40) for kids. The popular contest, in which participants play by throwing two golf balls attached together by string at a PVC tower with the goal of getting them wrapped around the towers, is the brainchild of the Neu brothers, whose mother, Marilyn, lost her battle with MS in 2005. Though in past years the event has drawn 200 competitors, the Neus expect a lower crowd this year — mostly due to the short lead time to market the event. Still, they say they’re grateful that Tillamook County granted them a permit to hold the competition, which, in total, has raised approximately $225,000 in its first 13 years. Funds raised at the tournament go to support the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Portland, which focuses on helping ease the challenges of living with the disease and the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Oregon, which works to find a cure. Randy says that those with MS have been particularly hit hard by the pandemic, and, as a result, MSSP has developed a program called Project Connection, a program that seeks to
Nestucca Valley Presbyterian Church
supply those with MS with iPads to help them connect virtually with others. In addition to the fundraising effort, the Neu brothers hail the game as special for its fun factor. “We do it to bring friends and families together and even strangers,” Randy says.” You end up meeting strangers that become friends after you’ve played them in Slingball. That was literally what our mom was all about — just
being together and bringing people together.” They also like the fact that it’s accessible to anyone, whether they’re new to the game or a seasoned player, whether they’re a kid or entering the golden years, and whether they’re male or female. “You can be really good at the game and lose to somebody that’s never played before,” Carter said. “There’s a lot of luck involved. My favorite thing is (even if) you never played before, you can be pretty good. When the balls spin on the crossbar, they do random things, physics takes over.” “We’ve had a player that’s never played ever before win it; we’ve had a grandpa win it; and, last year, we had our first female champion win it — and she’s coming back,” Randy added. One of the biggest keys to the event’s success has been not only its many participants but the willingness of local businesses to do their part. “The businesses of Pacific City area are donating and have been fantastic,” Randy said. And noting that the Sportsman’s Pub-nGrub, as well as Twist Wine, have been the event’s biggest supporters, Randy said that he is planning a “special toast” to Rob Royster, who owned and operated Sportsman’s for 31 years before losing his long fight with pancreatic cancer on March 26. Helping to bolster the fundraising event will be a silent auction that will feature items donated from local businesses as well as prizes ranging from Portland Timbers and Portland Trailblazers gear to a year’s supply of Franz bread. Also up for bid will be items such as high-end wine and bourbon, a basketball autographed by members of the Miami Heat and more. For more information or to register, visit slingball.com.

NESTUCCA VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT feted the contributions of retiring employees Julie Reddekopp (far left) and Barb Daggett (far right) during an end-of-year luncheon on June 15. NVSD Superintendent Misty Wharton (center) shared words of thanks for their contribution during the festivities. Both Daggett and Reddekopp served the district for more than three decades.
Three decades of service By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun Nestucca Valley School District Superintendent Misty Wharton — and nearly the school’s entire staff — applauded the many decades of service that Barb Daggett and Julie Reddekopp devoted to the district during a June 15 end-of-year luncheon at Nestucca Valley Elementary School. Both Daggett, who worked as office manager for the majority of her career at Nestucca, and Reddekopp, who served as a custodian and also put in 20 years as a substitute bus driver, spent more than three decades working in the school system. In total, Daggett devoted 33 years to the district and Reddekopp 31. In her comments about the retirees, Wharton said that Julie has “one of the kindest hearts of anyone I’ve ever met.” She added that it was a character trait she loved to see in Reddekopp. “She may present herself as ornery, but if a little 5-year-old needs something, she’s there,” Wharton said. “And, if there’s ever a stray animal, she’s the first person to find it and feed it.” Similarly, Wharton said Daggett’s
contributions were invaluable and credited the retiring office manager with helping smooth her sailing when she first moved from the high school to the elementary campus. “I didn’t really understand how to talk to little kids,” she recalls. “Barb helped me with that compassionate empathy, to meet every kid at the level they’re at when they come to the door. That’s what Barb is excellent at — making sure every kid feels special, loved and appreciated for being present, (and she) made me feel that way, too.” As they both head off into the sunset, they leave with fond memories. For Daggett, her career here — which included stints in Beaver, the elementary school and even a one-year period at the high school — was hardly a job. “I’ve enjoyed everything,” she told the Sun. “It was the best job ever. It wasn’t even really a job (to me). I loved the kids, loved the families, and worked with some amazing staff. Over half my life was spent here.” And for her part, Reddekopp said the people she worked with made the job rewarding. “I just enjoyed the time it took out of my day and the energy it took,” she said.
$140,700 granted to Tillamook County for expanding access to addiction resources Oregon Health Authority has awarded a grant to Adventist Health Tillamook as the fiscal agent for the Opioid Use Response for Tillamook County (OUR Tillamook) Consortium. This grant will provide $140,700 to increase access to care for people experiencing substance use disorder and/or opioid use disorder. “It’s exciting to begin seeing the impact on the health and well-being of people in Tillamook County as the partners of the OUR Tillamook consortium work together to create collaborative solutions that address the opioid and substance use crisis in our communities,” said Eric Swanson, president of Adventist Health Tillamook OUR Tillamook partners — CARE Inc., Rinehart Clinic and Pharmacy, and Adventist Health Tillamook in partnership with Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office — will receive funds from this grant to pursue separate, but coordinated services including appropriate and timely transportation for clients, new therapy training, a substance use navigator and medication for opioid use disorder. According to sources, the intiatives are well aligned with the OUR Tillamook implementation plan and will compliment the activities currently underway. “This funding will allow us to provide services to better meet our clients’ needs,” said Peter Starkey, executive director of CARE, Inc. “Many times lack of mobility is a significant barrier to assistance that folks can’t get past. Now CARE will be able to provide appropriate PACIFICCITYSUN.COM • June 18, 2021
transportation in the moment our clients are ready for help.” The grant was made possible through Measure 110 funds. Last November, Oregon voters passed Measure 110, the Drug Addiction Treatment and Recovery Act of 2020, which became effective on Dec. 4, 2020, to better serve people actively using substances, engaging in substance misuse, or having a substance use disorder. The goal of the Measure was to establish a more equitable and effective approach to substance use disorder. OHA is distributing $8.6 million across Oregon to initiatives like OUR Tillamook with a focus on equity. The OUR Tillamook consortium brings local organizations together in responding to the opioid crisis in Tillamook County. The group has created what it describes as a comprehensive, sustainable community plan to address gaps and opportunities in Tillamook County’s access to addiction resources, treatment and recovery. Together the group has aligned and implemented activities to serve as many individuals as possible in the community. Consortium partners include: Adventist Health Tillamook, CARE Inc., Columbia Pacific Coordinated Care Organization, Oregon State University’s local extension office, Rinehart Clinic and Pharmacy, Tides of Change, Tillamook County Community Health Centers, Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office, Tillamook Family Counseling Center and Tillamook Police Department.

Here Comes the Sun, Little Darling Please Practice Patience & Kindness at the Coast By Brook Wyntergreen, Destination Manager, South Tillamook County The Beatles couldn’t have sung it better and as we are able to see more smiles returning to the maskless faces, we ask that patience and kindness continue to be given to our workers, business owners and anyone else who chooses to continue to mask up. It’s mid-June, 68% of adults in Oregon have received their first, if not second, dose of the vaccination. “It truly feels like there is a light at the end of the tunnel. But things will not be returning to ‘normal’ any time soon. As you are likely aware, the CDC announced that fully vaccinated people can now go maskless in most places. That’s all well and good but as you can imagine, this announcement caught our small businesses completely off guard. It puts them in the extremely unenviable position of playing vaccination police and there have already been several confrontations locally over this issue. The bottom line is small businesses all over Oregon have the right to decide how they want to handle the mask issue. Our business community has decided to keep their mask requirements in place, for their safety and yours. Please respect that decision and offer them your support, not your scorn,” instructs Dan Haag, Director of the Manzanita Visitors Center. “With great power, comes great responsibility,” Stan Lee and Spiderman proclaim. Most super heroes choose to wear masks and now our business owners have been given the power to decide if masks are required or not on their premises. Because this onus has shifted from government agency to local business owners, it does not mean the intention behind the mask requirement has shifted. There are many reasons to mask up. Consider that your situation may not be the same as someone else’s. • People may have cancer • People may have autoimmune diseases • People may have unvaccinated children at home • People may have high-risk loved ones they are protecting • People may have asthma and have realized over the last year that their symptoms are alleviated by a mask outdoors • People may be unvaccinated “Let’s not question why someone is wearing a mask. Maybe they just feel better doing so,” Nan Devlin, Executive Director of Visit Tillamook Coast requests. “I can walk down the street, there’s no one there Though the pavements are one huge crowd I can drive down the road, my eyes don’t see Though my mind wants to cry out loud, I feel free,” Pete Brown & Jack Bruce relate. We are being given the freedom to go outside without masks, stay inside in larger groups, move about without fear of harming ourselves or others – it has been a long time coming and the sense of urgency to explore new places and faces is huge. But please remember to curb this enthusiasm with humble patience because not all wheels are back in motion. “Coastwide, we are experiencing an extreme labor shortage. There are a ton of job openings and not nearly enough applicants. This, in turn, puts a huge strain on our businesses’ ability to operate… If lines are longer at your favorite coffee shop or restaurant, please keep this in mind and practice patience. It takes far less energy than becoming angry,” Haag reminds us. And lastly, in this ode to sunshine, freedom, and kindness, it would be remiss not to address the importance of protecting the delicate ecosystem of the Oregon Coast through the nostalgic words of John Denver, “Country road, take me home, to the place that I belong.” As the words on Visit Tillamook Coast’s website describe, “we’ve cared for our forests, farmlands, beaches and waterways for generations. It’s in our DNA, and we bet it’s in yours, too. We welcome your visit, and we hope you’ll become a temporary local while here.” tillamookcoast.com/caring-for-ourcoast. Please take the Tillamook Coast Pledge While visiting our coast, we ask you to consider taking our pledge of Caring for Our Coast. Print it, write it down, keep it in your backpack, and feel free to remind others to take the Pledge along with you. 1. 2.
I promise to be respectful of people and safety when enjoying the Tillamook Coast’s forests, farmlands and beaches. I will make my own memories, but not my own trails.

3.
I will be responsible with fire on the beaches, in campgrounds, and any other designated fire areas. 4. I will heed cautionary signage. If it says “Do not go past this point!” – I won’t. Double pinkie promise on this one. 5. I will enjoy the slower pace of beach life. 6. If I cannot find a parking spot, I will not invent my own. Same goes for restrooms. 7. When playing at the beach, I will be mindful of sneaker waves and logs. I will NEVER turn my back on the ocean. Ever. 8. I will PACK IN reusable containers and PACK OUT all of my trash. 9. I will respect wildlife by managing my own pet(s), and not disturb any native plants or animals. 10. I will use my turn signal often, my car horn seldom, and my middle finger never. 11. I pledge to always care for our coast. “At the end of the day our Tillamook Coast communities are like so many others around the country. We are struggling to keep up with shifting guidelines and continuing to pivot and adapt. Like you, we are all tired – tired of masks, tired of Covid, tired of being tired. There is no magic button we can push to fix any of the issues mentioned above. But we are pushing forward, nonetheless,” Dan Haag reassures. As we roll in to summer, as the ice slowly melts after a long and lonely winter, as the sun comes, remember to be patient and be kind, and that George Harrison says, “it’s alright”. --We will be sharing South County destination management news each month in the Pacific City Sun. The topics covered and uncovered in this monthly column are written with an objective to illuminate the critical role of destination management for South Tillamook County. Below are key definitions. Sustainable tourism can be defined by three words: people, place and profit. It is tourism that takes full account for its social and environmental impacts, as well as current and future economic benefits. The goal of sustainable tourism is to ensure that development is a positive experience for both local residents and the visitors. For South County locals, this means enjoying a thriving community; jobs for hundreds of people; places to gather and connect with neighbors; and protection of natural resources, all with an emphasis on minimal impact and a call for stewardship. That’s the ideal, of course, but it requires commitment from municipalities, the tourism industry and the community to make responsible decisions that protect people, place and profit. And it takes an understanding from the visitors that sustainable tourism is important to the community. Sustainable tourism leads to the definition of destination management: it is about coordinating actions with the goal of controlling the economic, socio-cultural and environmental dimensions of a specific tourism region, which is carried out by local authorities and tourism stakeholders in partnership, following principles of good governance. It considers all the elements that make up a tourism destination, including local residents, businesses, attractions, amenities, access and messaging. Destination management does not mean inviting more visitors – it means effectively managing those who have already arrived. --For more updates, please visit the website at https://tillamookcoast.com/southcounty and our Facebook page: South County Destination Management.

Bay City Arts Center offers free youth summer camps The Bay City Arts Center recently announced that, thanks to support from the K-12 Summer Learning Fund of Oregon Community Foundation, the organization will be offering a summer full of art fun for kindergarten through 12th grade students. The program will be free for all youth participants from any school district and county. According to BCAC, the free youth summer camps will offer comprehensive, hands-on art education and learning opportunities including theatre, horticulture and landscape design, character drawing, and a muralism camp. Pre-registration is required for all camps. Due to covid 19 cohort limitations, space is limited and camps are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. During the summer youth arts program, students will experience a wide variety of art mediums and techniques as a way to explore their own forms of self-expression and artistic interests. BCAC is also welcoming new instructors this summer, which officials say will provide innovative and exciting new camp offerings for junior high and high school students. The Muralism camp will focus on creating a mural at the Bay City Skate Park that will capture the themes of the local region communicated in an artistic fashion that compliments the Community Skate Park atmosphere. It is being billed as a great
way for high school students throughout the county to come together and create a community collaboration art piece that will be present for locals and visitors to experience and enjoy for decades to come. Located in downtown Tillamook, the Hoquarton Historical Interpretive Center location will host the Horticulture and Landscape Design camp, a camp designed for middle and high school students to learn hands-on, outdoor space art forms including bench-building, place making, landscape designing, native and invasive plant identification, botanical drawing and photography skills, permaculture and much more. For younger elementary age artists, BCAC is offering a variety of visual and performance art options including character drawing, introduction to mosaics, and a variety of theatre camps. Located in a Bay City historic downtown building, the Bay City Arts Center is a community workshop, gallery, art school, auditorium, yoga studio, dining hall and radio station. It includes a collection of volunteers and friends who come together in the name of art, expression, and reverence for the beauty of the North Coast.

BOATING IS AMONGST the popular pastimes that a new trails and recreation map will help guide outdoor enthusiasts to.
Pointing the Way New online GIS-enabled map details Tillamook County’s trails and outdoor recreation areas Tillamook County offers a bounty of outdoor recreation – fishing, hiking, kayaking, camping, surfing, birdwatching, horseback riding, mountain biking, even just hanging out on the beach. Now, with a new online GIS trails and recreation map, it’s easy to plan a trip, do the things you love, and discover new places to do them. The GIS map is at https://tillamookcoast. com/recreation-map and includes downloadable area maps if a person will be in an area without cell service. The GIS map lists more than 800 locations in 13 categories: campgrounds, parks and day use areas, trailheads, boat launches, beach and water accesses, dispersed campsites, equestrian trails, mountain bike trails, hiking trails, community trails, the Oregon Coast Trail, water trails, and other recreation. “This recreation map is a ‘live map,’ one we’ll be updating with new features and data,” said Nan Devlin, executive director of Tillamook Coast Visitors Association. “We will also regularly gather information from our land managers and first responders throughout the county to keep the public informed of events, such as fires, trail changes or closures, King Tides
and floods.” The GIS project is a collaborative effort of Tillamook County Wellness, Mt. Hebo Ranger Station, Tillamook County, Tillamook Coast Visitors Association, and New Youth Corps, which oversaw the intern, Samantha Goodwin, who gathered the database. Cardwell Creative of Salem transformed the data into a user-friendly website page. To use the new service, the public can just click on an area of the map and a pop-up window provides information about each recreation site. Additional features will be added in the next few months, and there is a form on the website where recreation users can provide information. There are also links to public transportation, beach wheelchair reservations, and a page about prime birdwatching areas.

Clover’s Day to highlight dairy industry at annual parade through downtown Cloverdale By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun
I
t will be a march toward a return to normal, a celebration of the agricultural community that makes Cloverdale tick, and a tip of the hat to the patriotic spirit America is known for when, after a one-year absence, Clover’s Day returns for some pre-Independence Day fun on Saturday, July 3 in downtown Cloverdale. This year’s rendition of Clover’s Day will feature a parade at 11 a.m., a vendor fair along the town’s Highway 101 downtown core, and ice cream scoops for just 50 cents at the Tillamook County Creamery Association Feed Store. The TCCA Feed Store also plans to host a small petting zoo. At press time, vendors had yet to be confirmed, but the fair will run from 10 a.m.-2 p.m., with a break for the parade at 11 a.m. Though festivities may be cut back slightly in this world where the pandemic still is raising a cloud of uncertainty, organizers hope the parade will be going full steam. As in recent years, the parade will be led by a cow from Cloverdale’s Hale Valley Holsteins — a cow who, for the day, will have the honorary name of “Clover.” Other confirmed entries as of press time included both the Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District and North Lincoln Fire, Tillamook PUD, and the Tillamook County Rodeo Queen. But that should be just the start of the dairy-

themed fun — with an additional welcoming nod to patriotic entries — says organizer John Seymour, who said he also expects entrants
ranging from politicians to antique tractors, Girl Scout troops to tow trucks — and everything in between. “I think we’ll get a lot of the people who have supported the event in the past,” he said. “I think people are looking to get back out and about from the community and show that they’re still around.” Seymour added that the return of the dairy-themed event has him excited for the community as its an event that local families have a long history of looking forward to — and enjoying. “I’ve been going to it since I was a little kid,” he said. “I’m excited to bring it back so families have something to look forward to.” He also noted that the event has value for the businesses of its resurgent downtown. “The added bonus is (it puts) Cloverdale in the spotlight for a day and brings in entertainment for people that aren’t from the area so they can enjoy what we’ve got and see businesses we have in town.” Those seeking to take part in the parade can do so in advance or on the day of the parade. Entry forms are available by visiting the event’s Facebook page, Clovers Day Celebrations. For more information, contact John Seymour at 503-8126035.

A FOURTH OF JULY FIREWORKs display sponsored by the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce promises to add a celebratory spotlight on Independence Day here in Pacific City.
Lighting Up the Sky
By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun It will be a return to celebrating our nation’s independence when the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce hosts its annual 4th of July fireworks show the evening of July 4 on the beach adjacent Bob Straub State Park. The celebratory show, which is expected to begin firing off colorful displays at 10 p.m., will feature $13,000 worth of fireworks — half of which is being funded by the Nestucca Ridge Family of Companies — which includes Pelican Brewing. The remainder of the cost is courtesy of the Chamber, which is still seeking donations to cover its share of the cost. As of press time, Chamber board member Doug Olson said the Chamber still had “a couple of thousand” to raise to avoid having to dip into Chamber coffers. Of the portion that has been donated, $1,000 came from Business Oregon and the remainder from individual and business contributions. Regardless, Olson said the return of the display — after a one-year absence caused by the pandemic — is a welcome sign. “I think it’s a celebration of not only the 4th
of July in America, but (a signal to) everybody who does things and enjoys them, that we’re still here,” he said. “People have been popping off fireworks for a couple hundred years, and we don’t intend to stop.” That said, he acknowledged this has been a difficult year for the Chamber noting that the organization was unable to hold its annual banquet, which normally nets them $6,000 to $8,000 and is also down in memberships by 15-20 businesses. “We’re much tighter than we’ve been, but we’re paying our rent and for street lights in Hebo and Cloverdale,” Olson said. “We’ve also begun regular (business) meetings. It will take us another year to get back to normal for sure.” The next upcoming meeting of the Chamber is a noon meeting on Tuesday, July 6 during which the Chamber expects to have three to four new businesses share their story. Watch for details in the July 2 edition of the Sun. For more information about the activities of the Chamber or to learn how you can donate to its upcoming firework display, visit pcnvchamber.org, send an email to pcnvchamber@gmail.com or call 888-KIWANDA.

WI-NE-MA CHRISTIAN CAMP has scheduled a slate of four summer youth camps, starting with a camp that will begin June 26 that is designed for kids in 4th through 6th grades.
A Faith-Building Summer Wi-Ne-Ma Christian Camp to emerge from COVID cloud with four youth camps this summer By KAYLA MOSLEY for the Sun

a staple in their lives since their childhood. People who attended the camp as first chance campers (third grade), are now bringing their own children to the camp. For one Camp Wi-Ne-Ma staff member, the camp has been a part of his family since his grandmother attended as a camper in 1944. Since then, assistant director Brett Harvey’s family has been actively involved in the camp. His father, Ken Harvey, was a camp director for more than 25 years. Harvey recalls his favorite memory of attending camp as a kid was watching his father getting dumped with water during one of their fundraisers. What Harvey appreciates about the camp now as an adult is “…re-exploring the beauty of the space.”
umerous things have changed in the last 77 years for Camp Wi-Ne-Ma — especially this past year thanks to Covid. Last summer the Christian camp was unable to hold any youth camps and only one adult conference. This summer, Camp Wi-NeMa will be welcoming their campers back to their iconic setting along the Oregon Coast. However, there are still changes happening this year. There will only be four youth camps in 2021 instead of eight, cabins will house less kids, and the campers will be participating in cohorts for every activity from meal time to free time. Camp Wi-Ne-Ma staff say their priority is keeping everyone safe while also providing a fun, faith-filled space for kids. “At least we’ll be doing something,” said executive director LeRoy Shepherd, who is planning to retire at the end of the year. Camp is kicking off this summer June 27-July 3 with “first junior campers” for kids in 4th through 6th grade. Next up will be the high school kids attending July 6-10. Following that will be the 3rd graders for the “first chance” camp running July 18-21. Last, but not least, are the middle schoolers. Kids from 6th to 8th grade will enjoy Camp Wi-Ne-Ma Aug. 8-14. During their shutdown last summer, the camp took the opportunity to work on some of its buildings and also added a new disc golf course as a way to WI-NE-MA CHRISTIAN CAMP recently added a disc golf course to its outdoor recreation offerings. encourage kids to be more active and get outside according to Shepherd.

THE PACIFIC CITY DORYMEN’S ASSOCIATION, with help from local clergy, got the 2021 ocean fishing season off to a postive start with the Blessing of the Fleet, an annual ceremony featuring prayers of blessing, gospel and patriotic music, and the ringing of the bell for those who have passed away over the last year.
Prayers for a Bountiful Season
Blessing of the Fleet draws large crowd, fetes beginning of fishing season By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun
“Be close to us Lord as we fish for the bounty of the sea,” he added. “Protect us from adverse weather, give us wisdom to read the surf and the winds and the courage and strength of will to remain ashore when conditions of launch are adverse.” And in his comments, Pastor Dan Mason, of Pacific City’s Pacific Coast Bible Church, urged all to not just appreciate the beauty of the area

THE COLUMBIA CASCADE AND OREGON PINES CHAPTERS of the 99s, an international organization of women pilots, will be hosted by the Friends of the Pacific City State Airport on June 26.
Women’s pilot group to land in Pacific City By SALLY RISSEL for the Sun The Friends of Pacific City State Airport is hosting a group of women pilots from the Ninety-Nines Columbia Cascade and Oregon Pines Chapters on Saturday, June 26. The 99s are an international organization of women pilots whose mission is to promote the advancement of aviation through education, scholarship, and mutual support while honoring their unique history and sharing their passion for flight. The Northwest Section of the Ninty-Nines has more that 500 members in 18 chapters. They welcome all women pilots and student pilots to join a chapter near them. They especially like to light the spark of aviation curiosity among youth. The Ninety-Nines have an interesting and long history in aviation. The organization was founded November 2, 1929, at Curtiss Field, Long Island, New York with 117 women pilots. In 1955, the 99s Headquarters moved from New York to the Will Rogers
World Airport Terminal Bldg. in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Now they have their own museum building called the 99s Museum of Women Pilots. (MWP) in Oklahoma City. The MWP has over 5,000 square feet of displays and artifacts focused on preserving the history of women in aviation, and providing education and inspiration for young adults to enter the field of aviation and aerospace. Another goal of the MWP is to educate the public about the important contributions that women have made in aviation. Those that visit the Pacific City State Airport on Saturday, June 26 will be able to take in the pilots flying in that morning. Following that, the pilots plan on enjoying the town during the day, but they will later gather back at their planes around 3:30 p.m. and organizers say the pilots would be happy to show the public their airplanes and answer any questions. Those that would like more information about this event or would like to participate can contact Sally Rissel at heronlanding123@gmail.com.

Struggling With Cancer?
You Don’t Have To Do It Alone! Facing Fate with Faith, a Bible devotional written by two sisters who have each faced multiple cancer battles, shares their incredible journey of how God has strengthened them in their fight against this dreadful disease.
TAPA introduces cast for its upcoming performances of ‘And Then There Were None’ The Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts recently announced the cast for its production of Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None.” The cast includes Gerry Cortimilia, Kelli McMellon, Chester Grace, Mallory Staudinger, Jason Hovey, Bill Farnum, Michael Murphy, Cody Mann, Becki Wilhelm, Holly Dickson and Lora Ressler. Originally set to open in May of 2020, but now promising a July 23 premiere, the cast has been rehearsing since March of 2020 by virtual and socially distant methods. Once the cast and crew met vaccination protocols, full rehearsals were finally able to get underway. Set on an isolated island off the coast of England, 10 people with dark pasts are summoned by mysterious ways. As they assemble, they are confronted with their pasts and the fear of judgement sets in. One by one they fall, each by a different method. As the survivors await their fate, their suspicions turn to each other. A masterpiece of dramatic construction, TAPA says its growing sense of dread and unfaltering tension will keep audiences guessing to the very end. Do any survive? Is the killer unmasked? Play-goers

can find out soon as TAPA prepares to re-open its doors this July to one of Christie’s darkest tales. Following the opening of “And Then There Were None,” on July 23, subsequent performances will be held July 24, 25, 30, 31, Aug. 1, 6, 7 & 8. Evening shows are at 7 p.m. and Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m. Fans can follow TAPA at TillamookTheater.com and on Facebook for ticket information for show dates and times. TAPA reportedly hopes to open under normal circumstances, however those planning to attend should be aware that some restrictions (vaccination proof, masks, etc.) may be required at the time of entry depending on current COVID-19 conditions. The production is presented by permission of Concord Theatricals.
When you feel like there is nowhere to turn and you don’t know where to find the comfort in the Bible, this guide written by sisters who have experienced cancer together will point you in the right direction. Regardless of your stage or progression of disease, you can find messages intended just for you. Facing Fate with Faith reminds you that you are not alone.

Pelican Brewing introduces Pelican Pilsner Pelican Brewing Company is taking on the classic Pilsner style, with the release of Pelican Pilsner. The effort, says Pelican officials, is one in which their team set out to make a lean, dry, crisp, and refreshing Pilsner reminiscent of those found in Northern Germany. They say the new beer bears both classic elegance and balance of aromatic hops and toasty, bready malts that interplay to create what brewery representatives assert is the perfect palate pleaser for all beer lovers. The beer is now available in 12-ounce six-packs, select Pelican mixed 12-packs, and on draft at Pelican’s three coastal brewpubs and local watering holes. “The brewing process for all beers is hugely important, but even more with Pilsner, there is nowhere to hide. It’s like brewing in a speedo. If anything is out of place, the drinker is going to notice,” says Pelican brewmaster Darron Welch. “That is why brewers appreciate a flavorful, balanced, and refreshing pilsner; they Photo courtesy of Pelican Brewing are a challenging beer to make, but PACIFIC CITY-BASED PELICAN BREWING has launched its when you get it right everything is in newest beer, Pelican Pilsner.

BERNICE BATTEN (above, center) was a WWII Women’s Auxiliary Flying Squadron member who once lived in Pacific City.
Small Package, Big Results Former Pacific City resident Bernice Batten was an aviation pioneer By SALLY RISSEL for the Sun I had the honor of knowing a local WWII Women’s Auxiliary Flying Squadron (WAFS) member named Bernice Batten. She lived in Pacific City and rented an apartment from me in the 1990s. Bernice was only five feet tall and weighed 100 pounds. You would see her walking all over town with her dog, active in her own clean-up litter campaign. Bernice was one of 27 women who met the rigorous standards and answered the call to serve their country during wartime. The women had to be between 21 and 35, have logged at least 500 hours in the air, hold a commercial license, a 200-horsepower engine rating, and have recent cross-county flying experience. Born in 1913 in Scammon, Kansas, Bernice always dreamed of flying. She attended college and worked part-time jobs to pay for flying lessons and received her private, limited commercial and transport licenses. These 27 women, “The Originals” as they would come to call themselves, began ferrying light aircraft and primary trainers such as Stearmans and PT-19 Fairchilds all over the country. They quickly went on to check-out in larger aircraft including pursuit
planes such as P-38 and P-51. The WAFS merged with Jackie Cochran’s program, the Womens Flying Training Detachments (WFTD) to become the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP). These women surpassed all expectations and proved that women could fly military aircraft with as much skill and competency as their male counterparts. Bernice Batten was assigned to Long Beach Army Air Field, Long Beach, California. She checked out in BT-13 and started ferrying them from a factory at Downey to various training bases. She was then sent to Love Field, Dallas Texas where she ferried the PT-13, AT-6 and the A-24 and had to “bail out” of an A-24. This made her an elite member of the “Caterpillar Club” composed solely of those who had been forced to resort to parachutes in an emergency. The WASP were under military orders and discipline living in military barracks. They were not covered by government life insurance and 38 WASPs made the supreme sacrifice with their lives. WASPs were denied military status and it took until 1977 for Congress to grant them honorable discharges and officially be recognized as WWII veterans. Bernice died July 16, 2004. She was 91.
