Quick weekend job for a high-schooler?
I want to load two raised mounds of soil into several truckloads to be moved elsewhere, which my back won’t allow me to do alone right now.
I’d like to hire someone, preferably over this weekend, at $50 for 3 hours. After that I’ll be able to see how much more needs to be done & negotiate accordingly!
Flexible on time of day for Saturday or Sunday. Please call 503-368-3709 (landline – no texts)

Saturday-Peaceful Protest in Nehalem
This Saturday in Nehalem we will be memorializing Enzo, a member of our North County Resistance Peaceful Protest for many weeks. Enzo would come and bring music, many protest songs, that would put a memory in our brain and a sway to our bodies we will never forget. Thank you Enzo for all your contributions to our group and to the world.
Are you one of the five more people who are showing up in Nehalem tomorrow, Saturday, April 18, from noon to 2 PM to participate in the North County Resistance Peaceful Protest? Well, I certainly hope so. We need five more people to show up each week until we completely fill the parking lot! We are not showing any rain, but the wind could make it a bit chilly.
Thanks for joining North County Resistance.
Best,
Patty

Oregon Primary Election
The upcoming Primary Election in Tillamook County is more important this year than usual. Why? Because the winner of the race for Tillamook County Commissioner will be sworn in January 2027 for a four-year term.
And that’s because there are only two candidates. In a larger field of hopefuls, the top two finishers move to the General Election in November unless one gets over 50 percent. That’s not the case this spring so your vote is more important than ever.
And your vote should be for current Commissioner Mary Faith Bell. There are many good reasons behind this recommendation.
I have always looked at a candidate from two perspectives, both equally important.
First includes personal qualities, education, abilities and life experience as a person. Second is the philosophy of governing, understanding issues of the day and outlook on life. Mary Faith Bell ranks high on all counts.
She is educated (Linfield University, BA, and working on a graduate degree). Her qualities include honesty, integrity, strong ethical standards and a transparent approach to governing.
Commissioner Bell is perhaps the best listener I have ever encountered. She not only listens but hears as well. She also can say “no” when necessary.
She has experience as a leader. Eight years as a Commissioner, over a decade as Chair of the Tillamook Bay Community College Board, service on the Economic Development Council and employment as the Editor of the Headlight Hearld. She also held a key position at Adventist Hospital Tillamook. She knows the issues in Tillamook County – past and present. She also has an unmatched passion for public service.
In my 25 years in public office, I learned that there will always be an issue no one saw coming. That’s why the ability to apply logic, reason, patience, and experience is so important. Commissioner Bell has done that and will do it again. Mary Faith Bell has earned your vote and should be reelected.

Oregon should be a Sanctuary for Potlucks
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.

Tillamook County Pioneer Museum celebrates 91 years
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.
