At the 2023 Home and Garden show we will be selling dahlia clumps that you will still have time to plant for good blooming results this summer and fall. Dahlias are the power house of a garden, with so many varieties and a long blooming season. They will continue to impress even when everything else is done blooming in September and October.
I look forward to seeing you at the show this year. Please stop by if you have any questions about growing dahlias.

Thanks to the lingering snow we had this year, it seems as though the primary signs of Spring I’ve seen thus far are yellow: Daffodils and Skunk
Cabbage. At this year’s Home & Garden Show, you’ll have lots of other colors to choose from to liven up your home.
Throughout the Home & Garden Show, the Tillamook County Master Recyclers will be on hand to help:
• explain how plastic pollution in the ocean turns into microplastics on the beach, and how you can help tackle this problem before it poses a health risk to beachgoers or an economic backlash to our local economy,
• advise how you can save money while limiting the impact you have washing clothes, including setting you up with an environmentally friendly starter kit,
• quiz you on your knowledge of what can and cannot be recycled at any of the facilities located throughout the county,
• make sure you are aware of the upcoming dates for our household hazardous waste collection events,
• help you with your

next painting job with some locally recycled latex paint, and
• inform you of upcoming changes to the list of materials we can recycle.
Do you think we should provide curbside recycling service throughout Tillamook County? If so, how often should the collection truck come to your neighborhood? There will be an opportunity for you to learn more about this possibility, and share your opinion on how to best move forward.
It may interest you to learn that the volume of materials recycled here in Tillamook County has increased nearly 64% since 2019 – yes, 64%, that’s not a misprint! And I continue to say: you can rest assured that every pound of recyclable material we collect in
Tillamook County is truly recycled. We verify the practices in place at the locations to which we market our recyclables, so that we know the materials you so fastidiously separate for recycling are actually transformed into new products. With every truck load of materials we ship directly to recycling facilities, we know that:
• your cardboard is processed into pulp and then new cardboard boxes,
• your tin cans are smelted and made into rebar for the construction industry,
• your Styrofoam is compacted and then extruded into coat hangers or picture frames,
• your milk jugs are recycled into pellets used to make new buckets or composite lumber,
• your glass is melted and made into new wine bottles, beer bottles, or canning jars, and
• your computers and printers are disassembled and sent to smelters so that the valuable metals can be reclaimed and used in new electronics, and so on.
Oh, we have so much to talk about – and I look forward to seeing you Saturday and/or Sunday!
The Kiwanis Club of Tillamook will be raising funds throughout the Headlight Herald Home and Garden Show in is Kiwanis Tillamook Days Scholarship Drive to help local students pursue higher education.
Kiwanians are celebrating their centennial anniversary in Tillamook this year and continuing their mission of serving the children of Tillamook County with a
tradition that dates back 60 years.
Scholarships from the Kiwanis Club offer more than $20,000 annually to around 10 graduating seniors, who receive the scholarship during their second year of post-secondary education. After this year, the club will have awarded more than $500,000 to more than 500 students in the program’s history.
A wide range of raffle items will be up for grabs at the Kiwanis Booth at the fairgrounds, including a charter boat fishing trip, a gift basket from the creamery, tickets for the Oregon Coast Scenic Railway, a three-month YMCA membership, PUD vouchers and more, all donated by the businesses. In total 18 items are up for grabs, worth more than $3,000.
Attendees will be able to place their tickets on the items that interest them and the drawings will be held on Sunday, April 30.
The other major fundraising event during the KT Days Scholarship Drive is the radio advertisement takeover of KTIL for the weekend. The station donates its airtime to the Kiwanians, who in turn sell
the ad space to local businesses.
The effort raises around $20,000 each year and a wide array of local businesses support the initiative, including the Creamery Association, TPUD, Werner Beef and Brew, Hampton Lumber, Tillamook County Veterans Services, Stimson Lumber, P&L Heating and former State Senator Betsy Johnson who uses ad time to promote a local nonprofit.
So, stop by the Kiwanis Club of Tillamook Booth at the Headlight Herald Home and Garden Show on April 29 or 30 to support local students, enter for a chance to win a great prize and help the Kiwanis Club of Tillamook celebrate 100 years of serving the community.

Heart of Cartm
Presents: Repair and Reuse in your Home & Garden
Clean and sharp garden tools make daunting Spring gardening a bit easier and more enjoyable!
Join Repair Cafe expert fixer, John Goertzen 11 a.m. to noon for a garden tool cleaning demonstration.
Looking for inspira-
tion to create something unique and wonderful from for your home and garden? From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., on Sunday, April 30 Heart of Cartm
Executive Director, Jessi Just, will lead an upcycled craft activity. She will give a short presentation at noon on their Repair and Reuse work as part of a mission to lead the community to zero waste.

Wheeler. Trash Bash Art Festival buttons will be available at the show.
There comes a time when children with asthma or adults with COPD would like a little help with their breathing difficulties, or others who just want a cleaner indoor environment. We have developed an Eco-system to help with this that starts with our mobile air filtration unit and expands with accessories and affiliations.
Spring and summer present ideal growing conditions for many plants, making these seasons an ideal time to tend to lawns and gardens. Though it’s easy to succumb to the temptation of exotic plants, avid gardeners and ecoconscious planters recognize the significance of native plants.
Native plants are much better for a landscape and the local ecosystem it calls home.
• Native plants are built for local climates. One of the issues gardeners who plant exotic plants run into is keeping those plants thriving when weather turns harsh.
• Native plants save money. It’s also important
to note that native plants save homeowners money. Because they’re capable of thriving in local conditions, native plants tend to require less watering, which can hep homeowners reduce their utility costs.
• Native plants save gardeners time. In addition to saving money, native plants don’t require as much attention. Native plants thrive in local conditions, gardeners won’t need to spend much of their free time tending to them.
• Native plants blend in with an existing landscape. Native plants look natural within an existing landscape, adding some instant aesthetic appeal without breaking the bank. When planting exotics, homeowners may feel a need to redesign their entire gardens to create a certain look (think Japanese garden). That can quickly consume a budget and take up a lot of free time in both the short- and long-term.
Planting season marks a great time to revitalize a landscape. Choosing native plants when doing so pays numerous dividends for homeowners and the planet they call home.
