Governor Kate Brown announces statewide indoor mask requirements Governor Kate Brown recently announced two new health and safety measures to address the spike in COVID-19 hospitalizations: a vaccination requirement for state employees and statewide indoor mask requirements. In what was touted as an effort to stop the Delta variant of the virus, masks will be required in all indoor public settings, effective Friday, Aug.13. New modeling from the Oregon Health Authority and Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) projects that, without new health and safety interventions in place, COVID-19 hospitalizations will far exceed Oregon’s health system capacity in the next several weeks. According to modeling from OHSU, without these additional mitigation measures, Oregon could be as many as 500 staffed hospital beds short of what will be needed to treat patients hospitalized for any reason by September. “Oregon is facing a spike in COVID-19 hospitalizations –– consisting overwhelmingly of unvaccinated individuals –– that is quickly exceeding the darkest days of our winter surge,” said Governor Brown. “When our hospitals are full, there will be no room for additional patients needing care – –whether for COVID-19, a heart attack or stroke, a car collision, or a variety of other emergency situations. If our hospitals run out of staffed beds, all Oregonians will be at risk. “There are two keys to saving lives. Vaccination is the best way to protect yourself and your family against severe illness, hospitalization, and death.
And, by wearing masks, all of us –– vaccinated and unvaccinated –– can help ensure that a hospital bed staffed by health professionals is available for our loved ones in their time of need. If we all do our part, we can beat COVID-19 once and for all, keep our economy open and thriving, and return our kids to the classroom with minimal disruptions in a few weeks.” Governor Brown also announced that all State of Oregon executive branch employees will be required to be fully vaccinated on or before Oct. 18, or six weeks after a COVID-19 vaccine receives full approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, whichever is later. The requirement will apply to all executive branch employees, including employees working for all Oregon state agencies, and in consultation with Oregon’s statewide elected officials, employees of the Oregon State Treasury and the Oregon Secretary of State’s Office, as well as employees of the Oregon Bureau of Labor & Industries and the Oregon Department of Justice. Employees will be required to show proof of vaccination by the deadline. Individuals unable to be vaccinated due to disability or sincerely held religious belief may be able to qualify for an exception, as required by state and federal law. State of Oregon employees will not have the option of weekly testing instead of showing proof of vaccination. “Vaccines are safe and effective, and they are the surest way to prevent Oregonians from ending
we are open!
up in intensive care units,” said Governor Brown. “I am taking action to help ensure State of Oregon workplaces are safe for employees and customers alike, and I am strongly encouraging all public and private employers to follow suit by requiring vaccination for their employees. The only way we can stop the spread of COVID-19 for good is through vaccination.” The vaccination requirement does not apply to employees of Oregon’s legislative and judicial branches of government, though the Governor is encouraging the leadership of both branches to consider a similar requirement. Governor Brown announced new statewide indoor mask requirements on Aug. 11. “The latest science is clear: although unvaccinated individuals are more likely to contract the disease, both vaccinated and unvaccinated people can spread the Delta variant,” she said. “Masks are a simple and effective way to make sure you are not unknowingly infecting your friends, family members, neighbors, and colleagues. After a year and a half of this pandemic, I know Oregonians are tired of health and safety restrictions. This new mask requirement will not last forever, but it is a measure that can save lives right now. It will help to protect all of us, including people who are immunocompromised, and our children under 12 who are not yet eligible to get vaccinated. Masks are a simple and effective tool that will keep our schools, businesses, and communities open.”
Citing high demand for scheduling appointments as well as meeting expectations for convenience and care, Adventist Health Tillamook has announced several updates that increase options for scheduling appointments and decrease the time to see a provider. Primary care appointments can now be scheduled online for coastal clinics in Tillamook, Pacific City, Lincoln City and Manzanita as well as inland clinics in Sheridan, Vernonia, Hoodland and Estacada. When patients visit the Adventist Health Tillamook website, AdventistHealthTillamook. org, scheduling a primary care appointment online simply requires clicking “Book online” immediately below the photo of the primary care provider of their choice. Online appointment scheduling is also available via the recently updated MyAdventistHealth app, a healthcare portal for managing care and messaging providers. “Online scheduling allows fast access to getting routine care patients need,” says Eric Swanson, president of Adventist Tillamook. “The spring and summer brought very high demand for care at our clinics and providing online scheduling has the potential to meet this demand while at the same time lowering wait times for patients who prefer to schedule their appointment by phone.” Additionally, calling for an appointment has been upgraded with a new queueing system with callback ability. This feature allows for a patient to leave their number so an Adventist Health associate can return their call in the same order in which it was received. Also, several providers are joining Adventist Health Tillamook & Rural Oregon Clinics from August-October. Amy Echelberger, MD, will be joining the Medical Office – Manzanita facility, and Nina Mattarella, MD, Angelo Williams, DO, and Niels Mitchell, PA-C, will be joining the Adventist Health Tillamook Medical Office – Plaza. Officials say the additions will greatly reduce the time to see a provider for care. For a complete list of Adventist Health Tillamook primary care providers, and to schedule an appointment, visit AdventistHealthTillamook.org/ onlinescheduling or call 503-8424444. Adventist Health Tillamook is part of Adventist Health, a faith-based, nonprofit integrated health system serving more than 75 communities in California, Hawaii and Oregon. Their workforce of 32,900 includes more than 23,600 employees; nearly 5,000 medical staff physicians; and 4,350 volunteers. Founded on Seventh-day Adventist heritage and values, Adventist Health provides compassionate care in 19 hospitals, more than 260 clinics (hospitalbased, rural health and physician clinics), 15 home care agencies, seven hospice agencies and four joint-venture retirement centers.

he one-of-a-kind camping experience at Hart’s Camp, located just behind the Inn at Cape Kiwanda, recently received some national rave reviews. The upscale glamping spot, which opened in 2017, was listed at number five in the 2021 USA Today 10 Best Readers’ Choice travel award contest for Best Vintage Trailer Hotel. “We’re honored to be voted as one of the top 10 on USA Today’s Reader’s Choice Awards,” said Briana Romancier, brand marketing manager for Nestucca Ridge Family of Companies. “We are among great company in the vintage trailer hotel category, and we are so excited that people took the time to vote for Hart’s Camp. It helps fuel us to continue to improve to be a part of the top 10 for years to come and continue to provide extraordinary coastal experiences to our Pacific City visitors.” To pick the list, which also included camping destinations in California, Tennessee, Arizona, Texas and New Mexico, a panel of experts first partnered with 10 Best editors to pick initial nominees. Following that, top 10 winners were determined by popular vote. Hart’s Camp currently features seven Airstreams for guests to rent as well as 32 RV spots. Each Airstream unit features four twin beds or one queen bed, full indoor kitchens, full indoor bathrooms and showers, A/C unit, dishes, cookware, luxury linens, coffee maker, flat screen TV, and wifi. They also all have a private fenced outdoor living space featuring an outdoor shower with living plant wall, gas grill with propane, fire pit with bundle of firewood, two Adirondack chairs, a picnic table and complimentary Linus Bikes.
Each RV Site features leveled gravel spaces with fire pit and picnic table, access to bathrooms and showers, full hookups for water, sewer and electric, and wifi. They all are in a park with a common area with outdoor games, fire pit and seating, and camp store as well as an easy walk to the beach. Amongst the drawing cards of the camp sites is the location. “Being in the heart of Pacific City, Hart’s Camp is the perfect home base for coastal explorations,” Romancier added. “Being steps from the beach and Cape Kiwanda, local hiking trails, the Nestucca River and a wide range of restaurants like Pelican Brewing and Stimulus Coffee + Bakery, there’s plenty of action close to camp to explore.” She also said the lodging fun awaiting visitors has garnered rave reviews. “Our guests love Hart’s Camp accommodations because it’s a unique experience unlike the typical hotel or campsite,” Romancier said. “In our Airstreams, we’ve created a comfortable living space with all the things you need and nothing you don’t. It allows a simpler style of living that Airstreams naturally inspire, with the outdoor private area to spread out and decompress, combined with the Pacific City location, Hart’s Camp is uniquely created with the explorer in mind.” For more information about the top 10 designation, visit 10best.com.

Motorists urge to practice patience, safe driving on Highway 6 Oregon Highway 6, the route between Banks in western Washington County and the town of Tillamook, is a designated state scenic byway. However, in the last week, the scene has changed from what the Tillamook County Visitors Association describes as a route with beautiful views to one of three car accidents, resulting in four deaths. The accidents have been caused by drivers passing traffic in restricted zones, causing head-on collisions that result in deaths and major injuries. “Much of Highway 6 is a two-lane road with narrow lanes, limited shoulders and blind curves, and is used by semi-trucks, buses, RVs, campers, cars, motorcycles and bikes,” said Josh Brown, Tillamook County Sheriff. “Drivers don’t realize

SUN
that a decision to speed or pass another car without waiting for a designated passing lane can lead to a very dangerous, often fatal, situation.” Multiple agencies, including public safety, emergency management, government and tourism are asking drivers to please drive cautiously, be patient, stash cell phones away, and take your time reaching your destination, whether heading east or west on Highway 6. “Highway 6 is known as the Trees to Sea Scenic Byway, and is meant to be enjoyed at a safe pace,” said Tillamook County Commissioner Erin Skaar. “We are saddened by the deaths of so many people whose lives were cut short by reckless driving. Please, slow down. It saves lives.”

Cruise-In Cloverdale to rev it up on Saturday, Sept. 4
Photo by Tim Hirsch
THE ANNUAL HISTORIC CLOVERDALE CRUISE-IN 2021 is slated to be held Saturday, Sept. 4 from 9 a.m-4 p.m. Anyone with a classic car, sports car, truck, or motorcycle they want to show off is invited to park it on Highway 101 through the main part of downtown Cloverdale. Also, “Spiderman” will be on site for those looking to get some pinstriping done on their rides. While there is no entry fee to join the show and shine, donations towards a set of “Jaws of Life” extraction equipment for Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District are welcomed. For more details, watch for expanded coverage in the Aug. 27 edition of the Sun.
TCTD activates COVID-19 response protocols, services limited The Tillamook County Transportation District will be experiencing service interruptions over the coming days the agency announced on Aug. 12, the extent of which is not currently known. Frequent updates will be posted on the District’s website (tillamookbus.com). A cluster of employees have tested positive for COVID-19. The District has activated its COVID-19 emergency response protocols and has performed contact tracing amongst staff members to determine who may have been exposed. Because of this, a number of personnel are currently in quarantine. Anticipated impacts to each of the District’s services are outlined below. The WAVE Bus Services: The District is shifting all available drivers to The WAVE fixed route bus services, in an effort to provide the maximum service to as much of the county as possible. At this time, there are no anticipated impacts to bus routes, but riders should check the website at tillamookbus.com, or the Transit App, to ensure their bus is still operating on schedule. The PC Shuttle will be operating on a reduced schedule. Dial-A-Ride Services: The District is doing everything possible to ensure rides for necessary medical appointments can be maintained. Essential lifeline services, such as rides to Dialysis or wound care appointments, can be called for and scheduled beginning Monday, Aug. 23. Rides for all other purposes will be unable to be called for or scheduled until at least Monday, Aug. 23. Customers with nonessential Dial-A-Ride trips scheduled beginning Aug. 23 will likely be contacted to cancel or reschedule their
trips. NW Rides Services: Members of the Columbia-Pacific CCO who have NW Rides services scheduled in the upcoming weeks will be contacted directly if their rides need to be rescheduled or cancelled. This will predominantly apply to rides originating in Tillamook County. Rides for all NW Rides clients are still able to be scheduled at this time, as dispatch services have transitioned to partner agencies. “The safety of our employees and our riders is our top priority,” says Doug Pilant, general manager for the District. “We have consulted with the health department and been following the CDC and FTA guidelines on our buses and on all District property. Unfortunately, the new strain of COVID-19 appears to more easily transmit between people. We are following the District’s COVID-19 Emergency Response Protocols and will be closely monitoring the situation to ensure the safety of the public, while continuing to provide as many services as possible to community members in a safe, efficient manner.” All vehicles are being sanitized according to COVID-19 protocols, and social distancing measures are still in place. Masks are required to be worn by all individuals, regardless of vaccination status, on all public transit vehicles and in all transit centers per the FTA. For the latest updates and service alerts, please visit tillamookbus.com. Patrons are being asked to not call into the District unless necessary, as resources to answer calls are extremely limited.

THE CELLO AND VIOLIN SOUNDS of Justin and Alexis Lepard were on display on Sunday, Aug. 8 when the duo played a mix of pop and classical music in an outdoor — and riverside — performance in downtown Cloverdale. Hosted by Jay Ylvisaker, the concert drew more than 30 for the 5 p.m. performance. Hailing from Nebraska originally, the duo now splits their time between Santa Barbara and Los Angeles, Calif., where they gig regularly. While the performance featured popular songs and the melodies that accompany them, the arrangements were made up on the spot for the performance. As a soloist, Justin has been featured in many movies, including “Togo” on Disney+ and “The Invisible Man.” He has also had a video go viral teaching cello on YouTube. Working remotely, they’ve been spending the summer in Northwest Oregon. The duo will next perform locally at the Neskowin Farmers Market on Saturday, Aug. 14.

THIS INFORMATIONAL SIGN located at the Cape Kiwanda parking lot is one of four signs in the area educating visiting surfers and others of various details to be aware of, such as dory’s landing on the beach, where the main rip current is, and basic surfing etiquette.
New signs point way to safety, courtesy By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun
A
n effort to educate visiting surfers on the intricacies of taking to the waves and cooperating with other users of the beach, led by Moment Surf Co., has resulted in the placement of four informational signs in the Cape Kiwanda area. The signs were erected in mid- to late-July. “For the most part (the effort is about) safety,” said Lisa Macy-Baker. “It’s safety for all beach users including dorymen, surfers and beachgoers.” In addition, part of the goal of the effort, which came to fruition thanks to support from the Three Capes chapter of Surfrider, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, Tillamook County Parks, Tillamook County Visitors Association, Pacific City Dorymen’s Association, Nestucca Valley Community Alliance and Pelican Brewery, is to improve the proper use of the recreational opportunities here. Signs are located at the Tillamook County parking lot at Cape Kiwanda, Nestucca Valley Community Alliance’s community park, one on the south end of Pelican Brewing’s oceanfront pub in Pacific City, and one at Moment
Surf Co.’s rental area. Amongst the messages contained in the colorful signs illustrated by Todd Fisher are information on basic surfing etiquette, details on what to be aware of at Cape Kiwanda — such as dory landings and where the main rip current is, proper ways for dogs to enjoy some beach playtime, and information on proper litter disposal and beach fire protocols. “The common complaint from locals is people come in and abuse the area,” Macy-Baker shared. “We feel that everybody can use this beautiful spot, but we just have to use it appropriately and with proper etiquette in mind.” By all indications, people are responding well to the educational effort. “The signs are bright and beautiful; the artwork is amazing; and all the feedback regarding the location and the safety components and the etiquette components are all terrific. It’s one of those situations that show, for the most part, we’re making everyone happy, and that’s kind of fun to see.” For more information about Moment Surf Co., which is bringing back the annual Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic, Sept. 17-19, visit momentsurfco.com.

Grants available to document Oregon history The Oregon Heritage Commission is offering grants for qualified projects for the conservation, development, and interpretation of Oregon’s cultural heritage. Awards typically range between $5,000 and $20,000. Projects can include anything related to Oregon heritage, and priority will be given to projects that preserve, develop or interpret threatened heritage resources or heritage resources of statewide significance. The grant application deadline is Oct. 20. Projects funded by the Oregon Heritage Grant may include collections preservation and access, exhibits, oral history projects, public education events, organizational archives projects, films theatrical performances, teaching traditional practices, public history interpretation, organizational planning that supports heritage resources, and more. Previously funded projects included a variety of projects around the state. Past projects have included the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum’s development of “Her-Story; The Women’s Suffrage Movement in Oregon and What It Means Today,” which included an exhibit and a companion book of essays and interviews with Oregon women of today. “We hope to see projects that engage Oregonians in heritage, from a variety of organizations, not just traditional heritage organizations,” states Katie Henry, Oregon Heritage Commission coordinator. “We encourage the documentation, preservation and exploration of all aspects of Oregon’s heritage.” Applications are submitted online. There is plenty of support for preparing them. “Our goal is to support organizations of all sizes all over the state in their valuable work. We provide assistance in the application process,” notes Kuri Gill, grants and outreach coordinator. Oregon Heritage grants programs staff say they are happy to discuss projects and review
applications in advance. Registration is required for two free online workshops. Each addresses the application questions and explores the online application system. They will be held Sept. 2, 5:30-6:30 p.m. and Sept. 9, 1- 2 p.m. The grant directly supports the four Oregon Heritage Plan goals, which are: Include More Voices: Expand the narrative of history told and preserved in the state to capture previously excluded or marginalized voices for a more complex and accurate depiction of Oregon’s historical events. Increase Access to Heritage: Strive to engage more community members and visitors in local heritage by increasing awareness of resources and making them available to diverse audiences and potential stakeholders. Promote the Value of Heritage: Share the economic, cultural, and educational value of heritage with the public and decision makers to inspire awareness, funding, and respect for longterm preservation of Oregon’s heritage. Pursue Best Practices: Pursue professional standards and best practices related to heritage processes, standards, and organizational management to ensure healthy, sustainable heritage organizations. The Oregon Heritage Commission is comprised of nine people representing Oregon’s heritage and geographical diversity who have been appointed by the Governor. There are nine advisory representatives from state agencies and statewide organizations. The commission’s mission is to secure, sustain, and enhance Oregon’s heritage by ensuring coordination of heritage initiatives by public and private organizations; advocacy on its behalf; education of the public about its extent and value; and promotion and celebration of its diversity. To learn more about the grants, visit oregonheritage.org or contact Kuri Gill at Kuri. Gill@oregon.gov or 503-986-0685.

TOGETHER with the church’s congregation, founding Pacific City Coast Bible Church Pastor Mark Canady and his wife Bonnie (at left) will help current Pastor Dan Mason and his wife Amber (at right) celebrate its quarter century milestone on Sunday, Aug. 29. The church has actually hit the 26-year mark, but, due to the pandemic, the silver anniversary celebration was delayed one year.
A quarter century devoted to the Bible By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun
A
s has been the case with so many celebratory events originally scheduled for 2020, Pacific Coast Bible Church had to put their silver anniversary celebration on hold last year. But, now, the wait is over as attendees of the Village Missions church anticipate a celebratory event on Sunday, Aug. 29 when the church will gather to hear the word from founding Pastor Mark Canady and then continue the festivities at a picnic at its Bible Shack property in Woods. The church got its start back in 1995, when Canady, who, together with his wife Bonnie, was winding down his ministry at Beaver Community Church. At the time, he recalls telling Village Missions that they should take a look at starting a church in Pacific City where, he says, the need for preaching the gospel was great. Though this was not part of VM’s core vision as their main focus is in rescuing small and struggling churches in rural areas, it didn’t take long for them to sign on anyway. Mark recalls putting together a tour with the VM district representative, Dick Girt, who was president of the Pacific City Chamber of Commerce at the time, and Jason Green, who managed the Pacific City Water District. “We came down, did the tour, met with Jason first and then Dick, (both of which were Christians), and then took off to Village Missions headquarters in Dallas, (Ore.). (The representative) said we really need to get a missionary (in Pacific City), and I think you guys (the Canadys) should be the ones.” As is the case with so many gospel efforts, the path for the church to go from idea to successful mission field actually began well before 1995. Looking back, Canady recalls the relationship he built with Allen and Shirley Kerr, who owned both the building now used by Pacific Coast Bible Church and the Pacific City branch of the U.S. Post Office, as well as the Three Capes Motel (now the Pacific City Inn). It was about a year — or two — before the start of PCBC when Mark first visited with Allen about Village Missions. “I asked him what about Village Missions, and he let me know this (building was) for the Nazarene (church). ‘I’m not going with Village Missions,” Allen told Mark at the time. A year and half to two years later, Mark asked to meet him once again. “I told him you know somebody has to reach this community with the gospel. Village Missions has asked Bonnie and I to come here, but we want you to know we’re not coming in competition with you. We just know somebody needs to move here and do something. And, he said, ‘Well, I told you a long time ago I don’t know about Village Missions, but I do know about Mark and Bonnie Canady. If you’re coming, we would like to make our building available to you for $25 a week.” And God’s providence didn’t stop there. “We had no place to live so they put us up in a motel room (at their Three Capes Motel),” Mark added. “It was such a blessing. They didn’t charge us for utilities or anything.” A couple years later, the church turned the next chapter when the Kerrs decided they were going to sell what was then known as the Central Building. “We thought oh, no what are we going to do,” recalls Bonnie.
But once again, they said, God had it planned out. “The Kerrs came to us telling us they were selling the building, and my policy had always been that a church shouldn’t go in debt to build a church building. (They) said we’re going to be selling the motel, and we’re going to sell the Central Building first, but we would like the church to have the first option. “They said: ‘Before you say anything, I know your policy that a church shouldn’t go into debt for a church building, but I’d like to make you an offer. I think it would be hard for you to refuse. We’d like to sell you the building for what we bought it for 20 years ago. We’d like to carry the papers, and we’d like the post office to (service) the monthly payment with the rent. So how does that sound?’” Mark said he did indeed pray about it, but was convicted soon enough that this is what God had planned for the new church. He also added that all these pieces fitting together points directly to God’s providence. “That’s God’s faithfulness,” he said. “God (said) yes to Pacific City, and it was a faithfulness where he put all these things together. Yes, you can deny what God does, but, to me, there’s no way you deny all these things that God (was) doing. That’s too many put together in order for this to be accomplished.” The church also paints a successful story on Village Missions’ game plan. The idea behind the VM model is that some of its churches will be self-sufficient while others less financially blessed will be sustained by a 10 percent tithe from other member churches. In Pacific Coast Bible Church’s case, they did, in fact rely on VM funding at first, but, by August 2001, were fully self-sufficient. And then it was their turn to bless other missions both within Village Missions fields as well as gospel efforts abroad. Other milestones in Pacific Coast Bible Church’s history include a building expansion in 2004 and paying off the building, which was made possible via a donation from one individual in 2013. The departure of Mark and Bonnie Canady also was a key point in the church’s history. After serving 15 years, the founding couple moved onto a Village Mission church in Idaho. Though that brought a challenge for church-goers, it also proved to be an impetus for growth says both Mark and current Pastor Dan Mason. “From our standpoint, we couldn’t be more joyful about how things have continued,” Mark said. “We’re not surprised though. It really hasn’t skipped a beat. It’s grown and strengthened. That’s just all a part of the solid foundation of Jesus Christ.” Mason, too, is embracing the concept of God’s faithfulness as a theme for the celebraton. “You can point in every direction in this thing, and the Lord has been so kind and faithful,” he said. Pacific Coast Bible Church, located at 35220 Brooten Rd., Pacific City, is holding Sunday services at 9:30 and 11 a.m. through the summer. Starting this the second week of September, the first service will be held at 8:30 a.m., followed by a coffee break from 9:30-10 a.m., and a second service at 11 a.m. Sunday school will start at 11:15 a.m. For more information call 503-965-7222 or email Pastor Dan Mason at pcbcpastordan@gmail. com.
