Did you know Oregon ranks last in the country in terms of friendliness toward potlucks and other traditional home-cooked gatherings? Here’s an opportunity to work together and make good news by turning our state around.
It’s an election year, after all. Let’s make sure this kitchen-counter issue is on the minds of every candidate who’s running for office.
I’ve launched an effort to raise awareness with a column in the Daily Astorian. Please email me if the link below doesn’t work, or if the newspaper has already imposed their paywall.

To celebrate its 91st birthday, the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum (TCPM) is offering free admission on Saturday, April 25 from 10 am – 4 pm. Visitors are invited to tour the museum, including the temporary exhibit “Launching Through the Surf: The Dory Fleet of Pacific City” and enjoy some treats.
“The Tillamook County Pioneer Museum is celebrating, not only its existence, but the long-standing support from the community,” TCPM Director Peyton Tracy said. “Back in 1935, a group of citizens had the foresight to begin documenting and preserving local history, and that dedication to perseverance has continued to direct our work decades later.”
TCPA and their volunteers operated the museum until 1945. For the first ten years, the Museum emphasized local 19th century history, as they actively sought out artifacts to suit specific exhibits.
In 1945, TCPA stepped back from the museum and Tillamook County took over the Museum’s operation. For the next 40 years, the County ran the facility and provided funding and financial management for the museum.
In 1985, the County ended its funding of the Museum. In response to the County’s decision, TCPA and other concerned citizens came together to find a way to keep the museum open. Tillamook County allowed for the continual use of the second courthouse for a nominal fee.
In response, voters passed a levy in November 1985 to fund the museum until July 1, 1996. In 1985, TCPM also established the Tillamook Pioneer Museum Foundation to control and operate the museum as a 501(c)(3) organization.
In May 1996, voters again signaled their support by voting to establish a County Historical Fund with $.08 per thousand true cash value of permanent funding for the museum.
Since 2009, the Tillamook County Commissioners and the members of the County’s budget committee have financed a portion of the Museum’s operating budget.
Today, TCPM has 19 exhibit areas, with over 55,000 artifacts and 20,000 photographs in its collection. TCPM is also the steward of over two miles of interpretive trails and 200 acres of property at Kilchis Point.

On Saturday, April 25th, EVCNB is turning emergency preparedness into community action, and we need YOUR help to inundate our local food banks!
Your mission: grab some canned goods (or your checkbook), practice your evacuation route, and help flood our local food banks with donations.
It’s part food drive, part community drill and 100% a great reason to get outside and connect with your neighbors!
Drop donations at Manzanita City Hall, Nehalem City Park, Wheeler Upper Park, Little Apple, Fresh Foods, or Mohler Co-Op. PYN cluster members, check your email for gathering site info!
The food banks especially need: canned goods, peanut butter, dry pasta, cereal, juice, and pet food
Share with a neighbor and make a plan to go together.

Such as we were we gave ourselves outright…
Such as she was, such as she would become.
Into the Darkness
We hear their cries as our cries.
Holding a deepening intention,
banners rise, reach into the darkness
of dreams, a percussion guarding
a noble commitment. As we return
to face the daily carnage, we remember
those who have fallen and will yet fall.
We know these wounds will require more
than caring attention and deeper release.
Our freedom, known as a birthright,
is a rare gift, a precious privilege
paid for in young blood offered freely
and ultimate sacrifice. But as our spirits
weary and the water table drains,
neighbors, strangers, and friends are
coming together with a shared question.
What is called for now, as our current
leader continues to live beyond our law?
Is it possible, can we take a selfless
journey, get clear enough, to live
the ancient scroll: Only a deep love
will heal our profound ignorance, what
we truly believe to be so. Let us unite.
