Help keep Tara our Library at Manzanita Branch

Tara Shepersky, an extraordinary library at the North County (Manzanita) Branch of the Tillamook County Library is slated to be transferred to the Main Library.
Many of us feel known and seen by Tara — her recommendations are spot on. Her technical help for our aging population from the pre electronic age is phenominal, between visits from the official tach whiz.
So many of us are writers, and we especially appreciate her poetic sensibility.
I acknowledge that her gifts would be of benefit anywhere, but she *knows* us. This small community doesn’t want to lose the rapport we have built to the Big City of Tillamook. (smile).
Here are the contacts I have:
Donald Allgeier, Library Director Tillamook County
503-842-4792 ext. 1707
Donald.allgeier@tillamookcounty.gov
–
Jennifer Wells Branches & Outreach Manager
503-842-4792, ext. 1709
jennifer.wells@tillamookcounty.gov

Let them know. Let’s try and keep Tara!

Sincerely,
KATJA BIESANZ

Much appreciated!

Modern Stitches Quilt Show July 1 – 30 at NCRD

Meet the Maker Thursday July 9, 4 pm – 6 pm

Auditioning colors, arranging visual elements, discerning patterns, finally something resonates. The process becomes a meditation. In this fraught time, making and quilting offer a kind of reverie.

You’re invited to see a group of my modern quilts on display July 1 – 30, 2026 at NCRD in the Gallery and Fireside Room. Come by to Meet the Maker Thursday July 9 from 4 pm – 6 pm.

The textile industry is one of the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions. Quilting is not exempt from this cycle of production and consumption. In response, I am shifting my practice toward the use of reclaimed materials—fabrics cut from discarded garments sourced through family, friends, and thrift stores. Several of the quilts shown incorporate recycled men’s shirts, neckties, bed sheets and fabrics thrifted from resale shops. While this is a small gesture, it is part of the movement that’s reimagining waste as resource.

Several quilts are for sale. Proceeds benefit NCRD and the Nehalem Bay Community Services Food Pantry.

Pet Sitter Ginger Matyas

Review for Ginger Matyas – Professional Pet Sitter

I met Ginger Matyas in 2022, she was walking a dog in our quiet neighborhood. I assumed she was walking her own dog, she described it’s personality and ‘likes’ and the dog was confidently sniffing and doing dog things. Then Ginger let me know she was a pet sitter. I felt an immediate connection, honesty, and warmness towards her and took Ginger’s name and contact info. People around here are always looking for a reliable pet sitter, and I wanted to be able to share her name. After that, I would spot Ginger in different neighborhoods of Manzanita, with a dog or two at the end of the leash. And we usually stop and visit a second, or at least give a wave.

Finding out she had been a pet sitter for 42 years came as no surprise.

I feel you will find Ginger will ask all of the right questions about your dog(s) or cat(s), follow your list of ‘to dos’ and lovingly proceed with watching your pet in the most professional and efficient way possible.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Pelican Brewing Partners with PNW Coast Paddling Club as New Community Sponsor
Nehalem, OR. — June 27, 2026 — The Pacific Northwest Coast Paddling Club is proud to announce an exciting new sponsorship with Pelican Brewing, marking the beginning of a community-focused partnership that supports local athletics and coastal traditions.
Pelican Brewing, with locations in Siletz Bay, Pacific City, Tillamook, Rockaway Beach, and Cannon Beach, and soon to open Yachats, has become an official sponsor of the PNW Coast Paddling Club’s Nehalem Bay TideRunners dragon boat team.
As part of this new partnership, Pelican Brewing will host Pint Nights this fall at both its Cannon Beach and Rockaway Beach locations. During these special events in September and October, a percentage of the evening’s proceeds will be donated to the PNW Coast Paddling Club to help support team activities, equipment, and travel throughout the racing season. Dates to be announced soon.
Pelican Brewing has also generously donated a gift basket that will be raffled during the PNW Coast Paddling Club’s Fourth of July booth in Manzanita. Community members are encouraged to stop by, meet the team, and purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win while supporting local paddling programs.
The celebration continues during Manzanita’s Fourth of July Parade, where the Nehalem Bay TideRunners will proudly march with their new team banner showcasing their partnership with Pelican Brewing as well as North County Recreation District (NCRD). Spectators will also have an opportunity to wish the team well before they head to Olympia, Washington, to compete in their first race of the season mid-July.
Adding to the excitement, Pelican Brewing’s iconic “Born at the Beach” branding and logo will soon appear on the TideRunners’ hometown dragon boat. Once installed, the newly decaled boat can be seen during the team’s regular practices on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, as well as Sunday mornings on the Nehalem River.
“This partnership reflects what makes our coastal communities so special—local businesses and local organizations working together to strengthen community connections while supporting healthy, active lifestyles,” said the PNW Coast Paddling Club. “We are incredibly grateful for Pelican Brewing’s generosity and enthusiasm as we launch into a new racing season.”
The PNW Coast Paddling Club invites everyone to join in celebrating this exciting partnership throughout the summer and fall by attending the Fourth of July festivities, participating in the Pint Nights, and cheering on the Nehalem Bay TideRunners as they represent the North Oregon Coast on the water.
About PNW Coast Paddling Club

Home to the Nehalem Bay TideRunners, a women’scompetitive dragon boat team, the club welcomes paddlers of all experience levels and proudly represents the region in competitive and community racing events.
