Halloween Hijinks

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

Residents young and old let their hair down and transformed into their favorite heroes and villains as Pacific City celebrated Halloween with a weekend evening of fun, Saturday, Oct. 28.

The festivities began at the Shops at the Village where retail outlets entertained kids with complimentary cookie decorating, animal balloons, cotton candy, and more.

Shortly thereafter, decorated dories were the main attraction for trick-or-treaters at the Kiawanda Community Center. Adultthemed fun at a variety of watering holes put an exclamation mark on the evening — including the return of the Hooker’s Ball at Sportsman’s Pub-n-Grub.

Nestucca speech team has solid showing at Oktoberfest tournament

Photo courtesy of Kathleen Serven

THE NESTUCCA HIGH SCHOOL SPEECH TEAM reportedly performed well at Neah-Kah-Nie High School’s Oktoberfest speech tournament, held Saturday, Oct. 28. Ten schools and 80 competitors competed at the tournament, which featured a Halloween theme and offered a chance for students to dress in costume. Manager Maria Huerta Nieves held the team together at base camp while coaches Kathleen Serven and Carissa Albin judged events during the 13-hour day. At the competiton, three of the five current Nestucca Speech Team members qualified for the finals. Overall results included first-year team member Ana Wehrley taking first in Novice Poetry, team captain Neri Tate taking second overall in Open Oratory, and first-year competitor Maddison Ehly taking third in Novice Poetry. As well, Serven said that second-year team members Lilly Shippee and Carly Cook did “exceedingly well in their first round.” She added that “some environmental factors (cold temperatures) impacted their performances in the second and third rounds, but they’ll be ready to combat that in the future.” Serven also voiced appreciation for those that volunteered. “We are thankful to our community volunteer judges who joined Carissa and I to judge at the tournament: Melanie Merryman, Jim Mick, Rachel Gregory, and Deana Cook,” she said.

MUSSEL HARVESTING was opened along the entire Oregon coast on Oct. 20.

Oregon coast open to mussel harvesting Mussel harvesting is now open along the entire Oregon coast after the second test result for paralytic shellfish toxin on the southern coast was under the safety threshold. The Oregon Department of Agriculture and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife announced the reopening on Oct. 20.

Other recreational shellfish are also open, but there remains a few closures.

Razor clam harvesting is open from the Washington border to Tillamook Head, but closed from Tillamook Head to Seal Rock. From Seal Rock to the California border it is open. Bay clamming is open along the entire Oregon coast.

Recreational ocean crabbing is closed annually through Nov. 30 and pending biotoxin test results, but open in bays (mark buoys used with pots or rings).

ODA will continue testing for shellfish toxins at least 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, call ODA’s shellfish biotoxin hotline at 800-4482474, the ODA Food Safety Program at 503-986-4720, or visit oregon.gov/oda/ programs/FoodSafety/Pages/Default. aspx.

he heartwarming story of love being shared in the most unusual of places will be told Nov. 17 and 18, when the Nestucca High School theater program performs “The Curious Savage,” a 1950s era play penned by John Patrick.

Tickets for the performances, each of which will hit NelsonPimentel Stage at 7 p.m., are $7.50 for general admission and $5 for senior citizens and students. They are available in advance at nestucca.k12.or.us or at the door.

The play tells the story of Mrs. Ethel Savage (played by Neri Tate Ramirez), who, after inheriting $10 million from her late husband, desires to give the windfall to charities. And that doesn’t sit too well with her three stepchildren.

“She wants to be a philanthropist, but her three stepchildren are really upset about that and put her in a mental home,” explains director Kathleen Serven.

But all is not lost for Savage, who ends up enjoying the company of those inside the sanitorium more than those outside of it.

“She makes the best of it and becomes friends with the people inside,” Serven said.

“They’re kind, and they love each other and support each other,” she says about the characters Savage finds in the mental home. “In their own quirky ways, there are really quite humorous as well.”

Serven says she appreciates the lessons the play offers.

“It treats the citizens with mental challenges with dignity and love, and you just end up adoring their characters,” she said.

What’s more, Nestucca students have embraced their roles in the production.

“It’s a large cast, and they all have a very good work ethic,” Serven said. “They enjoy the play. They’re really getting into their characters, and they find the whole process quite fun.”

And if she gets her way, those showing up for the performances will be similarly pleased.

“I hope that they just really enjoy a solid theater experience here and enjoy some good chuckles and go away relaxed and entertained by our students,” she said. “And maybe even a little inspired by the message of kindness and looking past peoples challenges to who they are.”

Food Roots hosts local food tastings at Nestucca K-8

By CHELSEA YARNELL for the Sun

S

tocked with 40 pounds of sliced cucumbers, Food Roots Farm to School Coordinator Brooke Hieserich kicked off the first of three local food tastings at Nestucca K-8 School on Oct. 13.

Aligning with October being “Farm-toSchool Month,” students, teachers, and staff were all invited to sample slicing cucumbers during their lunchtime.

“We chose slicing cucumbers, which have a thicker skin than other kinds, but they’re a familiar vegetable to the kids,” Hieserich said.

While the goals of the tastings are not about whether students like or dislike the food, Hieserich said that the program does encourage young eaters to try new things and teaches “don’t yuck my yum.”

“This age group is the primetime for reception for being willing to try new

things,” Hieserich said. “Kids will be more open to try new food when they’re invited.”

Samples were given without a pairing so natural flavors of the cucumbers could be the focus.

Hieserich reported that 244 2-ounce samples were given, which equated to a 76 percent student population participation rate.

“That’s high, a good one for us,” she said.

“The goal is more engagement, interaction, and more participation every time.”

The slicing cucumbers were sourced from Josi Farms in Tillamook, whose produce is also available for purchase at Food Roots Marketplace.

“They’re one of our go-to farmers,” Hieserich said. “It’s a conversation with them about what’s available and to what scale [when deciding what to offer at tastings].”

The October tasting was the first of three seasonal tastings; the following two will be

held at Nestucca K-8 on Feb. 9 and April 19.

“Tastings are our showcase or golden moment,” Hieserich said. “It unites our marketplace department with the farm-toschool department. We try to separate [the tastings] out into separate seasons: fall, winter, and spring so they get different flavors from the seasons.”

During the upcoming winter tasting, Hieserich said that the food samples may not necessarily be vegetables or produce, but products from a local maker.

“Last winter we did a cheddar cheese tasting from Nestucca Bay Creamery,” she recalled.

Hieserich is in search of volunteers who are interested in helping with future tastings.

“If folks want to help and come for the tastings, we can make it much more interactive,” she said.

To volunteer or for more information, reach out to Hieserich at brooke@ foodrootsnw.org.

A Poetic Performance Mandelring Quartett to bring a world of talent to Neskowin Chamber Music series on Nov. 5

H

ailing from Germany, the Mandelring Quartett will present the next concert in the Neskowin Chamber Music series on Sunday, Nov. 5 at 3 p.m. at the Chapel at Camp Wi-NeMa. Siblings Nanette (violin), Sebastian (violin), and Bernhard Schmidt (cello) will be joined by violist Andreas Willwohl for the performance.

In its more than 40 years as a musical ensemble, Mandelring has appeared in concert venues all over Europe and the United States — from Vienna, London and Madrid to New York, Los Angeles and Vancouver. Its members have won numerous competitions, starting with one in Munich that launched their careers.

They give an annual festival in their home town of Neustadt-on-the Weinstrasse (the Wine Road). Since 2010, the quartet has presented a regular concert series in the Chamber Music Hall of the Berlin Philharmonic.

“Wherever these four musicians appear, they leave behind lasting musical

impressions,” wrote the Salzburger Nachrichten newspaper about one of their concerts, calling it “a memorable festival experience not likely to be equaled in the near future.” The Spanish magazine Scherzo called their performances “poetry in sound.”

In 20202021, it performed in the Circulo de Bellas Artes in Madrid and a number of times at the Royal Palace in Madrid.

Commisioners approve $53,930 contract to examine feasibility of locating Dorymen’s Heritage Museum on Jensen property

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

T

illamook County Commissioners, at its Nov. 1 meeting, approved a $53,930 contract with Nossa Norman Design Studio to develop a conceptual design for a Pacific City Dorymen’s Association’s Heritage Museum on the county’s Jensen property, which is adjacent Kiawanda Community Center. The contract runs from Nov. 1 to May 31, 2024.

The scope of the work includes inspiration visioning, site planning, test fit plans, generating schematics, and 3D renderings for the Dorymen’s Association Heritage Committee to review.

Both the county and PCDA are embarking on a mission to discover if developing the museum on this property would be more advantageous than building it on its property near South Tillamook County Library, which was donated to the Dorymen’s Association several years ago, but has several development challenges because of its location in the flood plain.

The contract will be funded by the balance of the TLT funds previously awarded to the Doryman’s Association to develop a design concept for the museum.

“They still have the property by the library but they are supportive about exploring construction of the museum on the Jensen property,” said Rachel Hagerty, who was serving as a facilitator for PCDA. “They have done a lot of work exploring the feasibility of (constructing) the museum at that site. There has been some potential barriers for them in (the site near the library) being the best site for the museum.”

Hagerty noted that the foundation was laid during the development of Kiwanda Corridor Project for possibly moving the museum to the Jensen property.

“The Kiwanda Corridor Project Concept Plan…includes the construction of the Heritage Museum on the Jensen property,” she said. “It was unanimously supported by the Dorymen’s Association to explore (construction of the museum on that property).”

Hagerty also emphasized that because the Heritage Committee has done significant visioning work, this conceptual design project for a museum near Kiawanda Community Center will not be starting from scratch. She also noted that amongst the details that will need to be explored is whether a shared parking lot with the Kiawanda Community Center parking lot is feasible.

Hagerty also noted that there are same

cost efficiencies by awarding this directappoint contract.

“If this is deemed to be a suitable location and everyone is supportive of proceeding, then the next step will probably be to do an amendment (with) the prime contractor to proceed with engineering design and then construction provided the funding is secured,” she said.

All three commissioners voiced support before their unanimous vote to proceed.

“This sounds like a great plan,” said Commissioner Erin Skaar. “I think that adding the opportunity for the Dorymen’s Association to consider placing their desired museum at the Jensen property seems to me like it would make a whole lot of sense.

We need to get (that determination) sooner rather than later so, as we move forward with our plans for the Jensen property, we know if that partnership with the Dorymen’s Association is going to be a piece in the design.”

Commissioner David Yamamoto, too, said he appreciated the concept of moving the museum’s location.

“This Dorymen’s Heritage Museum is quite a visionary piece coming out of the Dorymen’s Association in Pacific City,” he said. “This has been a long-time project of the Dorymen’s Association. They were donated a piece of land. It is unfortunate that that piece of land is in a flood plain and would be much more difficult to design and build within that flood plain. It would take their building costs up quite a bit.

“And, with the NOAA Fisheries BiOp on the horizon, it may not even be possible.

That is one possibility. So, I appreciate Rachel very much in moving forward with our acquisition of the Jensen property. That opened up a brand a new window for the Dorymen’s Museum, and I think they’ve seen the possibilities — especially being adjacent to the Kiawanda Community Center.”

And Commissioner Mary Faith Bell said she was excited about the venture.

“I also think it’s a great idea,” she said.

“I love the idea of the Dorymen’s Museum on the Jensen property and adjacent the Kiawanda Community Center. It think it will be a great placement for it, and I’m excited that it’s moving forward. We’ve been hearing about the Dorymen’s Museum for a long time. I’m excited to go to the museum. I know a little bit about the history of dorymen in Tillamook County, and it’s a fascinating story.

“And I think it’s a wonderful creative use of the funds that are available to us (and) the contractors we are already working with.”

On Oct. 20, students who received scholarships from the foundation were celebrated at the Mildred Davey Scholarship Foundation Luncheon at the Officer’s Mess at the Port of Tillamook Bay. Among them were the first two recipients of the TCVA scholarships, Jenn Holler and Zoey Floodman, who each received $1,000 from TCVA to further their studies.

“Tillamook Coast Visitors Association is proud to support TBCC and these students,” said Dan Haag, director of Trails & Outdoor Recreation for TCVA. Holler, who works part time at the Oregon Zoo, loves animals

illamook’s Redeemer Lutheran Church will introduce Rev. Kevin Oster as their next pastor on Sunday, Nov. 5. Oster will be installed as pastor in a special worship service to be held at Redeemer at 3 p.m. that Sunday. A dinner reception will follow the service at 4 p.m.

“We are excited to welcome Pastor (Kevin) Oster and his wife Reyne into our community,” said Alex Iwaniw, chair of Redeemer’s church council. “With deep roots in the Pacific Northwest and having served in the ministry for more than 20 years in a rural agricultural community, we know that Pastor and Reyne will make immediate and lasting contributions to Tillamook.”

Oster and his wife are joining the Tillamook community after serving the people of Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Hutchinson, Minn. for 23 years. Prior to serving Our Savior’s Lutheran in Hutchinson, Oster served two parishes in rural Montana. He received his M.Div. from Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, Ind. after graduating with a BA from Lutheran Bible Institute of Seattle (later renamed Trinity Lutheran College).

“We feel deeply blessed to have this call to serve Redeemer in Tillamook, and we are looking forward to becoming part of this amazing community of people in Tillamook County,” reflects Oster. “I love agricultural and rural communities, and we cannot wait to engage with our new community in this remarkable place.”

In addition to ministry and family, Rev. Oster has a whole host of other interests. In Minnesota, he had a 10-acre farm and enjoys farming, gardening, and cooking. He also has an interest in classic cars, motorcycles, and woodworking.

“I am an avid Seattle Seahawks fan and always have been since the beginning. There is no bandwagon or fair-weather fan here.”

Dedicated in August 1928, Redeemer Lutheran Church has been serving Tillamook County for more than 95 years. It has been located on the corner of 3rd St. and Grove Ave. in downtown Tillamook for as long as anyone

remembers. The church building has gone through some changes over the years, and while the bell tower has been replaced with a stainless steel steeple, nearby residents may still attest to hearing the bells chime every Sunday morning at 10:30 am. Redeemer worships every Sunday morning at 10:30 am and offers adult, youth, and children’s education at 9:30 am on Sundays. Special midweek services are also offered throughout the year, largely corresponding with Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Holy Week and Easter.

Attendees can visit Redeemer Lutheran any Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m. at 302 Grove Ave in downtown Tillamook. Redeemer is also available online at redeemertillamook.org.

Commissioners address future of Beaver Water District The Tillamook Board of County Commissioners addressed the future of Beaver Water District at a public hearing on Nov. 1. The proceedings were required by the Oregon Secretary of State because the BWD has failed to file required reports for the last three years.

Though the statutory requirements are for the BOCC to hold a hearing as to whether to continue or terminate BWD, it was made clear from the beginning that dissolving the district was not the county’s intent.

“It is not the intent in any way that the Board of Commissioners or staff pursue dissolution of the Beaver Water District,” said Rachel Hagerty, chief of staff for the BOCC. “We are required by statute to adhere to a statutory process.”

Hagerty said that since October, when the

county commissioners first discussed the issue, there has been significant progress by the district in preparing for an audit. She also noted that the Oregon Secretary of State understands where BWD is at now.

“They are supportive…and believe they are on track to eventually get an audit completed,” Hagerty said. “If (being ready) is several months away, I would recommend a hearing maybe going into January (where we can) receive an update and continue (the hearing) again (if the district needs more time to be fully ready to resolve the issue.)”

After short testimony, during which commissioners were told that it is not anticipated that there would be any reason BWD would have to fold, the BOCC voted to continue the hearing until Jan. 17, 2024, at a time certain of 10 a.m.

Red Cross seeks blood donors As October comes to a close, the American Red Cross urges blood and platelet donors to make and keep donation appointments now to help hospitals restock blood products for patients ahead of the holiday season. Donors of all blood types are needed, especially type O blood donors and those giving platelets to help recover from a significant shortfall in donations throughout late summer and fall.

According to the Red Cross, patients are counting on lifesaving care now and all season long. Those ready to help can schedule an appointment now by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 800-733-2767.

As a thank-you, and to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the film Elf and create holiday cheer, the Red Cross is promising that all who come to give Nov. 10-30 will receive an exclusive pair of Elf + Red Cross socks, while supplies last. Visit RedCrossBlood.org/Elf for details.

HOW TO DONATE BLOOD A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Another way to support the lifesaving mission of the Red Cross is to become a volunteer blood donor ambassador at Red Cross blood drives. Blood donor ambassadors help greet, check-in and thank blood donors to ensure they have a positive donation experience.

Volunteers can also serve as transportation specialists, playing a vital role in ensuring lifesaving blood products are delivered to nearby hospitals. For more information and to apply for either position, visit redcross. org/volunteertoday.

The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides comfort to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation’s blood and is the primary blood supplier to 65 hospitals throughout Washington and Oregon. For more information, visit redcross.org.

he next time you are at Pacific City’s post office, look at the landscaping.

Shirley Keller has been working her magic, adding little clusters of flowering plants everywhere.

Many are still blooming the first week in November. There is a real artist’s touch to how and where the plants are placed.

I had observed her weeding and tending the surrounding areas for over a year but finally got to visit with her last week.

Shirley is from New Zealand and moved to Neskowin from Portland, where she had a Bridal flower business named Bridal Blossoms. One of her specialties was drying and preserving bridal bouquets.

She is a member of the Pacific Coast Bible Church and feels that her landscaping project is her ministry to serve her church and the Lord. We are lucky to have her expertise and energy to transform this space in Pacific City.
