Dory Days Parade returns July 17 as COVID restrictions are relegated to history books Wellspring Respite Day Center re-opens for area seniors in need Adventist Health Tillamook announced on July 1 that its Faith in Action – Wellspring Respite Day Center is re-opening on Tuesday, July 13. Operated as a program of the medical center’s Faith in Action department, Wellspring adult respite day center provides companionship and loving care by a licensed nurse and volunteers to guests while allowing a valuable “day away” for their family caregivers. Held on Tuesdays in the fellowship hall of the Seventh-day Adventist Church located at 2610 First St. in Tillamook from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the senior-friendly community service program includes activities of simple games, easy chair exercises, fun crafts, music sing-alongs, and more. A nutritious lunch and snacks are provided. Trained volunteers provide individual assistance and encouragement in what Adventist says is a family-like atmosphere for a nominal per day fee of $30; financial assistance is available if needed. A past family caregiver shared this: “Many, many
thanks for the help you gave us. Sue came home calmer after her day at Wellspring, and I, in turn, had some rest and relief. You are doing a service to ones who need it most.” Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, isolation and lack of social stimulation have been identified as detrimental to the mental health of seniors. Family caregivers have endured the unrelieved 24/7 burden of caring for loved ones who need constant observation and assistance. Adventist says that re-opening Wellspring with several safety precautions being put in place, including vaccination of all participants, offers healing and hope to both caregivers and care receivers. “At Wellspring, we become like a family and we have so much fun interacting with our guests and seeing glimpses of their lives through the songs they enjoy and the memories they share from yesteryear,” says Mollie Reding, volunteer supervisor. I would encourage anyone who might be interested to give us a call and schedule a time to come see
we are open!
for yourself what a blessing Wellspring could be for your loved one.” Pre-registration for this program is required. For more information about Wellspring, to register a guest, or to donate to this community program, contact Mollie Reding at 503-8152272.

hen the big one hits, it won’t just be a question of where you need to flee to but also how to get to those safe spots on high ground. And that’s where an effort to improve the current tsunami wayfinding signs comes in. Community members are being invited to give their input on the program at a meeting on Saturday, July 10, starting at 10 a.m. at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City. At the meeting, the public will be able to view a large map showing the proposed location of evacuation signs and offer their feedback. Two elements will be focused on in the informational meeting — signage and assembly areas. Meeting organizer and project manager for the South Tillamok County Emergency Volunteer Corps Pacific City-Woods Wayfinding Committee Christopher Dennis said the need for an improved wayfinding program in Pacific City is great. “Our community has less than 10 signs right now of where to go,” he said. “One of the things we’re interested in doing is really getting people an understanding of how this community can support residents and visitors when a very bad thing happens. It’s a certainty (that a subduction zone earthquake and tsunami will eventually happen). It’s just a matter of when.” He says the committee, in its collaboration with officials from Tillamook County and from the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries has learned much. To date, they have drafted a signage plan, reviewed it with Tillamook County and applied guidance from DOGAMI. The current draft calls for increasing the 10 wayfinding signs currently pointing the way to safety to 70 to 80. The new signs, as recommended by DOGAMI, will also be slightly larger. “We’ve made some adjustments after our conversation with the county,” Dennis said. “In some places, the county felt the (proposed) sign density was too high, (and) there were some questions on where right of way is and where we can plant signs. The county also had some feedback on the way to mark the inundation zone. You can mark the inundation zone with physical signs on posts, or, on roadways, you can lay down thermoplastic indicators. The county felt thermoplastic indicators are a better solution.” The second piece of the effort is assembly areas, which are defined as temporary locations where those escaping the threat of a tsunami can gather in safety. These areas also provide a location that emergency responders can focus their resources on. As part of the draft plan, there would be assembly areas on Hill Road, McPhilips Drive, Sandlake Road (between Woods and Town Lake), as well as in the neighborhoods of Pacific City Heights, and Pacific Seawatch and one near the Pacific City Transfer Station. The current iteration of the Pacific City wayfinding project began meeting in November 2020. Since that time, they have visited other communities on the coast such as Neskowin and Tierra Del Mar to see how they addressed wayfinding, have had discussions on what’s possible, and started the first draft of the wayfinding map and plan in March 2021. Following the meeting, a number of action items are on the table, starting with erecting the signs, which is expected to start in August. “The rate we’ll install the signs will (depend) on how much volunteer help we have,” Dennis said. “I think it’s going to be a phased in approach.” And on the slate for 2022 are practice evacuations. For more information, email Christopher Dennis at pcw@steaming-kettle.com.

BEACH BOX, located in the parking lot of Shops at the Village in Pacific City, offers s’mores kits and bonfire supplies for visitors and locals looking to create a memorable time on the beach or at home. Pictured above is owner Morgan Motsinger.
Bring on the Bonfires Morgan Motsinger’s Beach Box offers gourmet s’mores and bonfire supplies By KAYLA MOSLEY for the Sun

othing says summer fun like a bonfire at the beach — especially if there’s tasty s’mores involved. Thanks to Morgan Motsinger at Beach Box, summer just got a whole lot sweeter. Pacific City’s newest gem is open for business. What started as a fleeting idea from a friend a few years ago finally took shape at the end of May when Motsinger set up the little trailer in the Shops at the Village parking lot. The Beach Box is a serendipitous shop that offers not only s’mores kits, but also roasting sticks, firewood, matches, sanitary hand wipes for clean up, and water. With five s’mores flavors to choose from there is something for everyone. The flavors include whiskey salted caramel, triple chocolate, raspberry, cocoa espresso, and the classic original. The whiskey salted caramel is Motsinger’s personal favorite. She says she wanted to make sure people had all they would need to craft the perfect s’mores. The beach is not the only place to enjoy these delectable s’mores, they are also perfect for roasting over an electric stove in the kitchen with your loved ones. “We want to keep family and friends hanging out longer without cell phones,” Motsinger said. “We are driven by the experiences people have and want to create a wonderful one for them.” Some of her own favorite memories were part of the inspiration behind the Beach Box. For Motsinger, it’s not only the experience the customers have, but also the community as a whole. Most of the materials used are

compostable such as paper and twine. It was important to Motsinger that the kits be as eco-friendly as possible to protect the beaches from trash buildup. Not only are the materials earth conscious, but the ingredients are also organic and local to Oregon. The kits are assembled right in Portland by local business 1927 S’mores. Motsinger believes in working with local businesses and in collaboration — not competition. Helping each other be successful and creating a supportive bond with other local businesses is one of her main goals for Beach Box. “I wanted to create something unique to
the area without taking away from the other businesses,” she said. With this being the first year Beach Box is open, Motsinger has high hopes for the future. If the quaint s’mores trailer is successful this summer then there could be an expansion up and down the coast in its future. But, for now, Motsinger is content to bring a little more serendipitous joy to Pacific City. To learn more about Beach Box, visit oregonbeachbox.com or check out their Instagram @oregonbeachbox.

ODE announces resiliency framework for full-time, in-person instruction for the upcoming 2021-22 school year Oregon Department of Education announced, on June 25, its Ready Schools, Safe Learners Resiliency Framework for the 2021-22 School Year. ODE says the framework helps school districts prepare their staff and campuses for the next academic year. As Oregon enters the next chapter of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Resiliency Framework reportedly shifts public school districts to a more traditional, local decision-making model, so that communities can make the health and safety decisions that serve students best. The framework also reflects Governor Kate Brown’s June 25 announcement of her order lifting all remaining COVID-19 health and safety restrictions issued under Oregon emergency statutes, including the executive order for K-12 schools. “The path is clear for students to return to full time, in-person instruction next year. Working together, we can harness this opportunity to rekindle joy and learning in the classrooms, auditoriums, and playgrounds across Oregon,” said Colt Gill, director of ODE. “Oregon schools are ready to once again be vibrant places for learners, staff, and their families.” Key parts of the framework stipulate: • Oregon public schools will be returning to full-time, in-person instruction next school year. • A focus on connecting and relationship building as staff and students move back into full-time, in-person instruction. • Pre-pandemic instructional time requirements will be reinstituted. • School districts and charter schools may continue to offer online programs for students at their discretion. The Department will engage in an inclusive process to update Oregon’s remote learning quality standards over the next school year. The vast majority of health and safety protocols, including face coverings and physical distancing in Ready Schools, Safe Learners guidance, which are currently mandatory, will move to advisory next academic year. The switch to advisory means school districts, public charter schools and private schools will have the option to implement, as appropriate, relevant advisory guidance from the federal Centers for Disease Control and the Oregon Health Authority, and may require face coverings, physical distancing and other measures. Key measures that remain required include maintaining a communicable disease plan, maintaining an isolation space in schools and submitting a plan for operation. The Ready Schools, Safe Learners Resiliency Framework for the 2021-22 School Year replaces Ready Schools, Safe Learners: Guidance for School Year 2020-21 version 7.5.2 issued on May 28, 2021. The Ready Schools, Safe Learners Resiliency Framework for the 2021-22 School Year became effective on June 30. The Resiliency Framework may be used for summer school 2021 as well as school year 2021-22. “Schools have more than a year of practice on how to mitigate COVID-19 and create a welcoming and inclusive learning environment for students and staff,” Gill said. “Moving to an advisory framework is a logical progression from emergency state direction to local decision-making for keeping students and staff healthy within each school’s unique context.”

DIAL-A-RIDE is now offering expanded transporation options along with a restructured fare system. Any rider can now get rides anywhere in the County, whereas multi-zone trips were previously limited to medical appointments only.
Dial-A-Ride restructures fare system Service now offers expanded transportation options Tillamook County Transportation District launched a restructured fare policy for its Dial-A-Ride services on July 1, changes that TCTD says are the result of an 18-month-long study into the District’s current fare and service offerings and was unanimously adopted at the May 17, 2021, meeting of the Board of Directors. “Before, Dial-A-Ride was primarily limited to trips within one zone,” explains Doug Pilant, general manager for the District. “We knew this left a large, unmet need in the community. We are excited that as of July 1, people can request a Dial-A-Ride for transportation to anywhere in the county. This represents a significant increase in transportation options for Tillamook County residents.” Previously, Dial-A-Ride was $4 for any one-way trip within a zone, or $2 for those qualifying for a reduced fare. Two-zone trips were only allowed for medical purposes only, and cost $12.50 each way. Now, Dial-ARide users will pay a regular fare of $4 or a reduced fare of $2 for any trip up to five miles, then just $0.50 per mile after that. Trips can be taken from anywhere in the county, to anywhere in the county, for any purpose. “Most of our current trips are under five miles,” Doug continues. “We expect that will change over time with

the elimination of the single zone travel restriction. Our new fare structure will make longer trips affordable and accessible to people while adding more fare equity into the system.” To illustrate the effects of the changes, TCTD shared these examples: • An individual from Oceanside wants to go to Fred Meyer. Under the old fare policy, this one-zone trip would cost $4. Under the new fare policy, this trip will cost $7. • An elderly individual from Neskowin wants to attend a family function in Tillamook. Under the old fare policy, this person would have been unable to use Dial-A-Ride as this is a cross-zone trip for nonmedical purposes. Under the new fare policy, this trip can be booked for $15.50 each way. The District anticipates revised fare policies for its bus services to be rolled out later this summer. For more information, or to reserve a Dial-A-Ride, call the District at 503-815-8283. Tillamook County Transportation District, which was started in 1997, operates the WAVE buses as well as DialA-Ride curb-to-curb service and NW Rides nonemergency medical transport for Columbia Pacific CCO members.

Murraysmith awarded contract to lead effort to integrate South County infrastructure improvements Tillamook County Commissioners unanimously approved a $673,891 contract with Murraysmith at its June 23 meeting to cohesively move forward eight planning elements contained in the Cape Kiwanda Master Plan and the Pacific City-Woods Parking Management Plan. Those elements include reconstructing the Cape Kiwanda parking lot; replacing the Cape Kiwanda parking lot restrooms; upgrading the Cape Kiwanda parking lot garbage and recycling facilities; constructing the Cape Kiwanda Drive multi-use path from the Cape Kiwanda parking lot to Bob Straub State Park; relocating Webb Park, including access improvements to Circle Drive and a potential roundabout or couplet; developing the Jensen Property, including access improvements to Pacific Avenue and Sunset Avenue with a potential roundabout; improving parking shuttle services and completing development of the Nestucca Valley Community Alliance lot. The contract will run through Nov. 30. Tillamook County Commissioners Chief of Staff Rachel Hagerty said that the paths to work through the planning elements will include public outreach, a process that will involve work sessions and open houses with the community, as well as community and business surveys. “We’ll go through concept planning, permitting research and management analysis, transportation analysis, topographic and boundary surveys, utilities and rights of way,” she said. “(This) will result in an alternative
analysis package which will have two design alternatives for each of the strategies…and then, from those, the community and the steering committee will select a preferred alternative (that) will be worked into the preferred concept plan.” Hagerty added that the funding for the project will come from a combination of the parking fees at the Cape Kiwanda and Pacific City Turnaround (end of Pacific Avenue) parking lots, as well as from Tillamook County Public Works and Tillamook County Parks funds. “This is a big step forward,” said Commissioner David Yamamoto. “This is going to change the face of South County, and that’s a good thing.” And Commissioner Erin Skaar also voiced her support. “It sort of feels like the first opportunity for the county to take the (Transient Lodging Tax) funds and say how do we design a tourist friendly community that also maintains that quality of life for those who have it as a permanent residence and how do we put the facilities in place that need that to happen. It’s a chance for us to say how do we integrate eveything in this section of the community to function well together.” For her part, Commissioner Mary Faith Bell credited Hagerty for the idea of creating a cohesive plan for all the improvements. “I think that was brilliant,” she said. “It’s going to work out beautifully, and I’m glad we’re getting started on it.” July 2, 2021 • PACIFICCITYSUN.COM

Slingball Tourament raises $10,000 to fight MS By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun
B
right skies, a competitive spirit, and a desire to help those in need. Those three ingredients were the recipe for another successful fundraising effort for those afflicted with multiple sclerosis when the Marilyn J. Neu Slingball Tournament returned to Pacific City, June 26-27. After a one-year absence due to COVID-19 restrictions, the tournament — including the Mini Marilyn competition that was open to those 12 and younger — attracted approximately 70 competitors. Though that number is far less than the 200 to 300 the event has drawn in the past, the event nonetheless raised an estimated $10,000 for those living with the challenges of MS. The bulk of those funds will go to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Portland who will purchase Apple iPads so that those with the disease can more easily communicate with family and friends. Though the main event is indeed considered an adult competition, it was the younger set that prevailed in the 14th annual tournament as all three that made the podium — first-place finisher Jace Chadez, 14, runner-up Brady Angelo, 14, and third-place competitor Blake Lambert, 19, — were all teens. Meanwhile, in the kids tournament, Ahser La Pointe finished first, followed by Peyton La Point in second and Bell Wood in third. “This is the first year we’ve had any kids in the teens win (the adult tournament),” coorganizer Randy Neu said. “It was really cool to see the kids who played in the (Marilyn Mini) Tournament in the past win, and to have two of them playing each other in the finals was even more fun.” He added that having a teen win the tournament was further validation on what he already has seen — that the game of Slingball can be mastered by anyone. In past years, the event has seen a first-time player win, a grandfather win, and, in 2019, the tournament was won by a woman for the first time. “It just goes to show that the (people that games attracts) is so diverse,” co-organizer Carter Neu added. “You can be from 14 to 8 to 100 (and still succeed). That’s the beauty of Sling. Anyone can play and pretty much anyone can win.” A second part of the fundraising effort is the event’s silent auction, which, this year, was named the Robert Royster Silent Auction in honor of the former owner of Sportsman’s Pub-

n-Grub, who passed away earlier this year. In the tribute, Royster was credited as being one of the key supporters of the event. “He meant a lot to Carter and I,” Randy said. “He was just a big member of the community. He did remind me of my mom (who the tournament is named for) in the way he was always an ambassador and always said hi to everybody. That, and wanting everyone to have a good time.”
Though final figures hadn’t been calculated at press time, Randy estimated that the auction brought in approximately $2,600 of the $10,000 raised this year. Those that didn’t play the tournament or bid in the auction can still contribute to the effort to make life easier for those with MS as a majority of the gear purchased at Slingball.com, which includes Slingball sets and clothing, is donated to MSSP.
Tillamook Pioneer Museum exhibit highlights the Tillamook County Fair The Tillamook County Pioneer Museum rang in its newest, temporary exhibit, “A Time to Shine: 130 Years of the Tillamook County Fair,” on July 1, an exhibit that celebrates one of the North Coast’s most beloved annual events. Planned to dovetail the actual fair this year, this exhibit explores the rich history, traditions, and fun of the county fair. “We’ve tried our best to provide a snapshot of the Tillamook County Fair, past to present,” said Peyton Tracy, assistant director and collections manager of the museum. “I think we did the best we possibly could—especially considering how little has been catalogued about the origins of the fair.” Both Tracy and its executive director, Jaykob Wood, began curating the exhibit this
year, and have conducted interviews with locals, perused collections at the fair office, and sorted through hundreds of artifacts at the museum to develop what they hope will be a memorable experience for Tillamook locals and visitors, alike. “We really could not have done it without community involvement,” said Tracy, “…no one knows the fair better than the folks who have put their hearts and souls into it every year.” The Tillamook County Fair staff was reportedly especially helpful in loaning dozens of historic premium books and historic records from the early years of the fair. Additionally, community volunteers put their hard work and sweat in to constructing pieces of the exhibit. “This exhibit captures the lighthearted, fun
memories that the fair creates,” said Tracy. “We hope you will come help us celebrate and share your stories too.” Founded in 1935 by Tillamook Oregon pioneers, the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum offers 19 display areas that focus on the history of the North Oregon Coast. The museum’s mission is to preserve and interpret the Cultural Heritage of the North Oregon Coast and to foster appreciation and respect of the North Oregon Coast’s environment. The current collection includes 55,000 items and 20,000 photographs ranging from prehistoric specimens to modern day. The Tillamook County Pioneer Museum is open to the public Tuesday-Saturday, 10 a.m.4 p.m. The research library can be used by the public by appointment only.

Nestucca Fire Chief Jim Oeder, who was one of the first on scene, said that the approximately 20- by 40-foot building was fully involved and was starting to have some structural collapse by the time they got the 911 call and had arrived at the fire. In total, Nestucca Fire had six units working the fire, while Tillamook sent two and North Lincoln had one engine on site. “We spent pretty much all night on it,” Oeder told the Sun. “By the time we got it out, it was a complete loss of both the structure and its contents.” As of press time, the cause of the fire was still under investigation.

THE DORY DAYS PARADE will be back in full swing through the streets of Pacific City on Saturday, July 17, starting at 11 a.m. Expected entries in the parade include decorated dories, equestrians, vehicles, an entry from the local library and more – all led by Grand Marshals Al and Bernice Jensen, Junior Princess Zoey Ann Roberts, and Senior Princess Sophie Nelson.
Dories are Back on the March
Dory Days Parade returns July 17 as COVID restrictions are relegated to history books By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun
O
ne of the biggest parts of what makes Pacific City unique will once again take a bow in the limelight when the 2021 Dory Days Parade returns to “The Home of the Dory Fleet” on Saturday, July 17. Though Dory Days traditionally has been a weekend affair, most other elements are not coming back this year due to the short time between when officials learned COVID restrictions would be lifted and the event. Portions normally a part of the festivities that won’t return until 2022 include the Fish Fry, fishing and filleting contests, and artisan fair. Still, organizer Melita Spath says there remains much to get excited about — starting with the parade, which will make its way from Sunset Drive starting at 11 a.m. and wind its way through downtown before ending at Chester’s Market. “The parade is a cherished piece of Pacific City’s history and to be able to hold it is important,” she said. “It’s a good first step in getting back to celebrating our traditions.” A highlight of the parade is always the royal court, which this year includes Grand Marshals Al and Bernice Jensen, Junior Princess Zoey Ann Roberts and Senior Princess Sophie Nelson. As has been the norm for years, the parade is also expected to feature not just a collection of well-decorated dories but also entries that will range from equestrian entries to the local library — and more. All told, Spath hopes to attract about 50 entries to the parade. “I’m hoping people aren’t hesitant to participate and that they’ll feel safe,” she said. “We’re glad that we’re able to hold the parade this year. We’re looking forward to bringing back Dory Days on a larger scale next year.” In addition to the parade, there will be a dory boat display just south of the four-way

stop. As well, the Pacific City Dorymen’s Association, which is again cooperating with the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce to put on the event, will have a booth where they’ll sell their merchandise. The boat display, which will be located just south of Megpie’s Bakery and start at approximately 9 a.m. on July 17, will feature a variety of styles of sport dory boats as well as at least one example of a commercial craft. Boat display organizer Dave Larkins told the Sun that there will
also be a traditional double-ender, too. “They’ll be plenty for people to look at, and there’ll be (dorymen) down there to answer any questions people might have,” Larkins said. “We’re excited about (the return of the event). Pacific City is the home of the dory fleet so it needs to be celebrated.” For more information about the Pacific City Dorymen’s Association, visit pcdorymen.com.

Dory Days dignitaries includes Grand Marshals Al and Bernice Jensen River fishing long leaders for 30- to 50-pound chinooks. The couple fished many places with their family on the Oregon Coast — Depoe Bay and Newport to name a few — but Pacific City is where they say their heart is, and they had a combined 122 years of recreational and commercial fishing until they sold “The Outlaw” in 2010. SENIOR PRINCESS SOPHIE NELSON Nelson, 19, is the daughter of Tim Nelson and Nicole Loney. Tim and Nicole grew up in the Pacific City area where they grew up in family operated businesses — Nestucca Marina and Riverview Lodge. Nelson enjoys painting, photography, sports, and fishing with her father Tim on his dory boat. They never come in until they catch at least one fish. She is a 2020 graduate of Newberg High School. This year, she took classes at Chemeketa Community College for Dental Assisting. In 2009, she was junior dory princess and says that this year she’s looking forward to being senior princess in the 2021 Dory Days event. ZOEY ANN ROBERTS Roberts was born and raised in Pacific City. She is a second grade-student at Nestucca Valley Elementary School and is a fourth generation dory fisherman. She says she loves the beach, loves eating fish and fishing with her father. Roberts is active in supporting the community with time and devotion as well as donations to both the local library and The Grateful Bread Restaurant & Bakery’s Grub Club. She is supported by her family including her mother Cassie and father Dylan and her grandparents Mark and Theresa, who are also dorymen in the community. Roberts also loves hiking and nature.

Raves for the Royalty hen the Dory Days Parade once again rolls through the streets of Pacific City, visitors and residents alike will be given a royal treat. The Pacific City Dorymen’s Association has announced that taking positions of honor at this year’s parade will be Grand Marshals Al and Bernice Jensen, Dory Days Senior Princess Sophie Nelson, and Junior Princess Zoey Ann Roberts. AL AND BERNICE JENSEN The Jensens have a long history in Pacific City. Bernice first went out of Pacific City in 1956 with Pink Schulmerich on the boat “Ol’ Yeller,” while Al started a few years earlier in 1942, when at the age of 9 he commercial fished with his dad in their double-end dory. The boat was equipped with a 5 HP outboard motor that they later replaced with a 7 ½ HP outboard and were teased and accused of being horsepower hungry. During this time, the fishermen accessed the beach at the turnaround and traveled up the beach to launch at the Cape. The boats were then left there for the season to use during the summer. Al remembers the U.S. Coast Guard Station being where Los Caporales now stands and that every morning, before going out, you had to stop in and get a 1- by 12-foot board and lay it strategically in your boat so that, when the blimps came out of Tillamook, they would be able to identify you as a US vessel. Remember, in 1942 the U.S. was at war and the USCG took every measure to protect fishermen from foreign vessels. Al and Bernice built their house in Pacific City in 1976 and had their boat “The Outlaw” built and rigged for commercial fishing when they started in 1979. Bernice remembers those 100 fish days that started well before dawn and ended after dark. Al’s favorite fishing was in the fall off the Nestucca

OURTillamook.org brings together a variety of sources and filters it with Tillamook County in mind. “You can learn about many topics relating to SUD/OUD including naloxone, the overdose reversal drug. Videos teach how and when to use naloxone, graphics explain why it’s important and lists show where to get it in Tillamook County; all on one page. The training on this website can help people save lives by preventing overdose deaths.” explains Nicole Vertner, business development director at Adventist Health Tillamook and RCORP Project Director. OUR Tillamook is a consortium of local organizations responding to the opioid crisis in Tillamook County. This group has created a strategic plan to address local addiction resources, treatment and recovery through funding by the Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP) grant.
