I would like to join others on this site who have encouraged you to vote YES on Measure 29-164, the Library Levy Renewal in May 2022.

In inflationary times, this 5-year levy is an amazing bargain. The cost if renewed is 65¢ per $1000 assessed value of a home, the same as it’s been since 2017! Our wide-ranging Library system costs only $110 per year for homes assessed at $170,000, which is $9.25 a month—less than most of us spend on beer and wine in a weekend.

Personally, I rely on branch libraries in Tillamook County for email and internet. All branches beam a wifi signal into their parking lots so anyone can connect day or night, for free. When I moved here, a friend told me about this, so I drove with a laptop to the Library one rainy night. I had to laugh—there we all were in our pickup trucks and SUVs, blue light shining on our faces as we sat behind the wheel accessing the wider world.

I have no internet at home, so I need Library computers for weather and news, ordering online, filling out forms. I also get DVDs and audio books from the Library. I have recommended movies and TV shows to friends who can’t find them on Netflix or Hulu. Then they use a Library card—it’s free!

Working at Library computers, I run into friends and overhear local news. Librarians help enthusiastic kids and sophisticated adults. Since Manzanita lost its “business center” at Salt and Paper gift shop, we have been able to manage because Tillamook County purchased modern printer-copier-scanners for all branch libraries.

Good value for the money, right? Please vote YES on Measure 29-164!

The sunflower is the national flower of Ukraine, and Mindy Claflin of Nehalem was inspired to start a group fundraiser. At the Tillamook Headlight Herald Home and Garden Show next weekend, they will offer more than 5 different types of sunflower seedlings at $2 each. The seedlings include the American Giant Hybrid, which can grow to 14-16 feet high, as well as smaller types such as Dwarf Teddy Bear and Dwarf Sunspot, which are container varieties.

A beautiful 3-dimensional sunflower wall quilt created and donated by Michelle Vinciguerra of Neahkahnie will be offered as a silent auction item. Bids start at $300, with increments of $25. You may call in a bid now to Terri Maragos at (503) 368-5203 or at helidoni@nehalemtel.net if you want to get a head start. The quilt is valued at $750. “Sunflowers for Ukraine” will also feature T-shirts, stickers, buttons, bracelets and other small items.

The Home and Garden Show is at the fairgrounds in Tillamook Sat. April 30, 9-4 and Sun. May 1, 11-4. Entrance and parking are free.

All proceeds from the booth will go directly to the Ukraine campaign of the nonprofit Save the Children. The team ID# is TRT-4128, “Sunflowers for Ukraine.” With that ID on the memo line, checks can also be sent directly to Save the Children, PO Box 97132, Washington DC 20090. This is a highly rated charity which has been operating in Ukraine since 2014.

Please plan to join us at the upcoming show. We’ll be glad you did!
