Pelican Brewing captured 6 medals — including a gold for Sea ‘n Red — at the Mountain Brewers Beer Fest
Pelican Brewing added to its walls of medals when they took home six medals — including a gold for Sea ‘n Red (in the Irish-Style Red Ales category) at the North American Brewers Association’s 30th annual Mountain Brewers Beer Fest, held Saturday, June 7 during a competition in Idaho Falls that featured more than 100 breweries.
Sea’N Red (ABV: 5.4 percent), which had won six prior beer awards, features a dark copper color and a mediumbodied presence. Hailed as a smooth, richly flavored beer, it has a malt aroma reminiscent of toffee, caramel, and cocoa with a subtle floral bouquet. Pelican Brewing says its lush aroma gives way to a full, rounded malty flavor with toasty biscuit-like character and notes of caramel.
Marionberry Craft Soda (Non-Alcoholic Soft Drinks); and two bronze medals — Beach Beer (Cream Ales) and Raspberried at Sea (Other Fruit Beers).
Judges at the annual NABA sanctioned beer awards include brewmasters from major national breweries as well as experts from small, independent breweries. Also judging were beer journalists and certified judges. Evaluation and judging of beers were conducted in sessions which lead to the award of gold, silver and bronze medals. Since 1997, hundreds of competitors have participated.
Pelican also took home three silver medals — one each for Sunrise Surfer (Blonde Ales), Head Out Hefeweizen (American-Style Wheat Ales), and
Judging is performed in a blind format competition with beers poured in a separate room and provided to the judges in style flights. Judging in teams of four, minimum, the judges rank order the top three beers and in some instances award honorable mentions.

The Pacific City Joint WaterSanitary Authority recently completed an emergency repair of its Kiwanda Lift Station, the organization’s second most used sewer lift station after a leak was discovered on one of its discharge pipes. The discovery was made after an alarm went off for a high wet well level.
While both pumps serving the station remained in good working order, because of the leak, which was discovered in early May, sewage was leaking from the affected discharge pipe back into the station’s wet well.
“We discovered that the discharge piping on our number 1 pump had cracked close to where the pipe exits the wall of the lift station and is pushed out to sewer main,” Authority Manager John Wesely told the Sun
After the discovery, staff turned off the pump that serviced that leaking discharge pipe and just relied on the one pump to service the station. Under normal operation, the two pumps alternatively pump sewage out of the wet well once it fills enough to activate one pump or the other.
“We normally use two pumps to provide plenty of pumping ability to keep up with sewage flowing into the lift station,” Wesely said.
Staff also discovered that an isolation valve wasn’t working properly when they responded to the high level alarm for the wet well.
Repairs were made over two days — May 20 and 21 — using two contractors, one for the excavation work needed and the other for the piping and drilling needed for the project.
The project, which is expected to cost PCJWSA approximately $32,000 once all invoices are submitted, did make some improvements to the lift station. Contractors excavated for a new vault where they installed new check valves and isolation valves outside of the tank to make future servicing easier. Drilling new exit holes for two new pipes was also a necessary part of the project. A portion of the cost of the project also went to renting a centrifugal pump that contractors used as a bypass of the lift station while repairs were completed.
As a result of the location of the work and the amount of equipment onsite, workers had to close the south entrance to the Kiwanda Shores subdivision. Because of this, Wesely said he reached out to the
subdivision’s homeowners’ association, which reportedly gave full support to the necessary closure.
Wesely said the Kiwanda Lift Station plays a critical role in sending sewage to PCJWSA’s wastewater treatment plant as it not only services connections along Cape Kiwanda Drive, Nestucca Boulevard, and more, it also helps move sewage to the treatment plant that has been pushed from points further south and east.
“It’s part of a chain that moves sewage from east side but also picks up additional sewage along the way between (Beachy Bridge) and the location of the lift station itself,” Wesely said. “It’s an important lift station. It receives a lot of flow — much more than a lot of our other lifts stations (other than the Airport Lift Station) just because of its proximity to the treatment plant.”
He said a quick repair was important because of the vital role the lift station plays and the difficulties that would ensue if another line failed or if the remaining in-use pump failed. That said, the Authority was prepared for even this possibility. In that worst-case scenario, staff would use its tanker truck to haul sewage from the lift station to the treatment plant.
“The bottom line is when we’re down to one pump on one of our busiest lift stations, that’s an uncomfortable situation we want to get out of as quickly (as possible),” Wesely told the Sun. “It’s one of our highest flow lift stations, which really elevated the urgency of the situation.”

It’s time for volunteers to roll up their sleeves for the eighth annual work party at the Pacific City State Airport, set for Saturday, June 14. The work parties began when the Friends of the Pacific City State Airport partnered with the Oregon Department of Aviation to ensure that the airport remains a vital part of our community. The safety of pilots is a priority.
The FPCSA has more than two dozen volunteers signed up to help with this year’s effort to mow the grass, remove weeds from the runway, and keep the willows under control. Volunteers will also be cleaning the restrooms and landscaping the area around the picnic tables.
Some volunteers travel hundreds of miles to show support. Local restaurants generously donated food, beverages, and money for the gathering — special thanks to Deb Foreman, Megs Beachwood, Pelican Brewery, PC Hardware, Cold Water Coffee, Coastway Construction, and Chol.net for their donations. Local RAF ambassadors are helping FPCSA raise funds to build a larger bike shed for visiting pilots to utilize. Bikes have been a popular means of transportation, enabling pilots to explore the beach, town, restaurants and shops.
Friends of Pacific City State Airport has a scholarship program that has awarded four high school students enough money to pay for their flight time and obtain their pilot’s license.
The organization will have caps, t-shirts, and sweatshirts for sale in the big silver hangar on the west side of the airport on the workday. These proceeds help support projects aimed at maintaining and improving the airport. The airport will be closed on Saturday morning while the work party is working on the runway. FPCSA will shuttle pilots who will be flying in to help from the Tillamook airport.
Donations to the airport and the scholarship program can be made to the nonprofit “Friends of Pacific City State Airport” at P.O. Box 1101, Pacific City, OR 97135.

The sun-soaked beach adjacent Pelican Pub at Cape Kiwanda will be transformed into a sandy playground on June 28-29 when the MJN Slingball Tournament showcases the skills of an expected 100-plus competitors competing for bragging rights at the double-elimination contest.
The event will feature a full day of competition on Saturday, June 28 followed by finals on Sunday, June 29. Registration for the double-elimination adult (12 and up) tournament is $100. Kids under 12 can register for the Mini Marilyn Tourney for $50.
The game of Slingball, which consists of throwing two golf balls attached together by string at a PVC tower with the goal of getting them wrapped around the towers, is accessible to all, say organizers Randy and Carter Neu. Though there are similar versions of the games out there, this version has its own unique twist — owing to the back bar not found on other games and the shorter rope between the golf balls. It’s hailed as a competition that needs no prior experience. In fact, in past years competitors with no prior experience have come out on top at the Slingball Tournament.
“It’s really easy to play,” says Carter. “It (attracts) a wide range of people — from five years old all the way up to 80 or more.”
He added that amongst the interest and intrigue of the game is the unpredictable way that the balls may wrap around the posts — or, as is often the case, fail to wrap around.
“The wacky things the Slingballs do when they hit the bars is exciting,” he added. “A lot of luck is involved.”
The event exists to raise money for MS sufferers with the bulk of the monies raised going towards the Multiple Sclerosis
Society of Portland, which helps those dealing with MS live a more comfortable life through a range of services, services that include providing air conditioning (as those with MS have a more difficult time with heat) and iPads (to communicate better with friends and family).
The competition, which was started by brothers Randy and Carter Neu, is a tribute to their mother, Marilyn J. Neu, who lost her battle with MS in 2005. Since that modest beginning in 2007, it has grown to an event that routinely hosts more than 100 competitors and has featured 200 in its peak year. The funds raised from entry fees and the associated silent auction typically raises $15,000-$25,000 annually — monies that are used, via MSSP, to make living with MS more manageable.
This year’s silent auction will feature autographed merchandise from the Portland Trail Blazers, Miami Heat, Portland Timbers, and Seattle Sounders, as well as high-end bourbon and wine packages.
And music will be a part of festivities at the Friday night registration party as local guitarist Richard Paris will take the stage. It is now one of the longest running events held in Pacific City. And that longstanding tradition has created timehonored elements of its own — including the development of friendly rivalries for year-after-year competitors hailing from distinct regions such as Vancouver, Washington; Idaho; and Portland. Add to that the Albertson family, which includes the clan of Randy and Carter, and you have yet another fun-filled element of the competition.
While the MSSP and Slingball have been strongly linked during the history of the tournament, it was cemented last year when Slingball organizers took over MSSP management.
In addition to the main tournament, a kids’ tourney will be featured. Other fund-raising elements will include a
betting board and the aforementioned silent auction.
The event will conclude with an awards ceremony that will include the presentation of the Roger J Neu Volunteerism Award, an award added in 2024 as a tribute to the voluntary work Randy and Carter’s dad, Roger, annually contributed to the event before his passing.
THE MJN SLINGBALL TOURNAMENT will return to the beach at Cape Kiwanda for two days of competition and fundraising efforts for MS, June 28-29. Admission is $100 for the adult tournament and $50 for the kids tourney. To register or for more information, visit slingball. com. Pictured above are last year’s finalists — champion Austin
“As always, the local businesses have been very supportive in terms of donating prizes (for the silent auction),” Randy said.

There, visitors can discover more details on the event’s history as well as watch an overview video of the fundraiser.
June is here, which means the Tillamook County Rodeo will once again fill the Tillamook County Fairgrounds with traditional rodeo staples such as bull riding, steer wrestling, and team roping.
The 38th annual iteration of the rodeo, known locally as The Biggest Little Show on the Coast, will take place Friday and Saturday, June 27-28, at 7 p.m. at the fairgrounds located at 4603 3rd St. in Tillamook. Gates will open at 4 p.m. both days.

The Tillamook County Library has announced an upgrade to its digital magazine service. Effective immediately, the library will discontinue Flipster as the digital magazine vendor for library patrons. The library will expand its existing Libby service to include digital magazines. The change will result in a greater selection of magazines for community members, with a lower cost per title for the library.
Libby, the popular app already used by patrons for borrowing eBooks and audiobooks, now offers access to a wide selection of digital magazines as part of the library’s collection.
With this change, users can enjoy what the library says will be a better experience
by finding books, audiobooks, and magazines all in one place.
“We hope that by expanding the Libby digital collection to include magazines, we can offer our community a simpler, more convenient way to access new content,” said Danielle Meininger, systems librarian at the Tillamook County Library.
The digital magazine collection includes a variety of popular titles covering topics like current events, hobbies, health, lifestyle, and more. All magazines are available with no wait lists and can be read on a computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Patrons can learn more about the Libby app and how to access digital magazines by visiting tillabook.org.
This summer’s Cape Lookout Stewardship Days kicks off on Wednesday, June 18 and promises an opportunity to give back and work to maintain natural areas and restore healthy coastal landscapes. Every year, WEBS partners with Cape Lookout State Park to offer opportunities to give back, maintain natural areas, and restore healthy coastal landscapes. The organization’s efforts to remove ivy and establish new native plants have made what WEBS says is a huge impact in the park over the last few years.
This year, WEBS will continue its efforts with ivy removal and native plant maintenance. “Events like this not only offer an opportunity to give back, participants can connect with others in the community, enjoy a day outdoors and hear about the successes and challenges for maintaining the health of
Cape Lookout State Park,” says Marina Dreeben, stewardship coordinator for WEBS.
This season’s additional Stewardship Days will be held on July 9, July 27, Aug.13, and Aug. 24. Activities are designed to accommodate a variety of skill levels. Families are welcome.
To learn more or to register, visit netartsbaywebs.org/events.
WEBS and partners are hosting this event as part of the Explore Nature series of hikes, walks, paddles, and outdoor adventures. Led by a consortium of volunteer community and nonprofit organizations, these nature-based experiences highlight Tillamook County and the work being done to preserve and conserve the area’s natural resources and natural resourcebased economy.

New research strongly suggests policymakers should view outdoor recreation spaces not as luxuries but as essential public health infrastructure.
Led by scientists at Oregon State University, the study analyzed behavior and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic and found that outdoor recreation’s mental health benefits were significant and measurable.
The research, published in PLOS One, is part of the Play2Cope project led by OSU’s HEAL research lab, which has been investigating leisure engagement patterns among U.S. adults during the pandemic.
Xiangyou (Sharon) Shen directs the lab, which collected data through an online survey from a sample representative of the adult population by age, sex and race in early 2021, a period characterized by the peak of the second wave of COVID-19 cases and an early stage of vaccination rollout.
“The new study, along with another from our group published six months earlier in SAGE Open, provides a comprehensive picture of how Americans engaged in and adapted their outdoor recreation behaviors during one of the most challenging periods in recent history,” said Shen, an assistant professor in the OSU College of Forestry. The latest paper documents observations of prevalent engagement in near-home outdoor activities, widespread reductions in outdoor engagement relative to before the pandemic, and marked differences in engagement patterns related to age, racial background and financial situation.
The researchers learned that reduced outdoor recreation was directly associated with higher levels of perceived stress and depressive symptoms, while more frequent outdoor activities predicted better wellbeing.
“Even after controlling for numerous COVID-specific risk and protective factors, outdoor recreation emerged as an important protective factor for mental health during the crisis,” Shen said. “The study provides compelling evidence that the mental health benefits were significant and measurable. This evidence supports treating outdoor recreation as behavioral medicine and classifying outdoor recreation spaces alongside facilities such as hospitals and pharmacies.”
The public policy implications are huge, she notes, especially given that global public health experts think it likely that other pandemics are on the horizon. Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, many managers of recreation locations enacted highly restrictive policies that closed vast outdoor spaces or prohibited small groups from using expansive areas like parks and schoolyards.
“Our research provides new evidence about the mental health costs that should be considered when developing outdoor space policies during health emergencies,” Shen said. “For future similar crises, we recommend protocols that prioritize keeping outdoor recreation spaces open with appropriate safety modifications, recognizing their role as essential mental health infrastructure.”
The research found that 68 percent of survey respondents said near-home activities like walking and gardening were their most frequent outdoor recreation, compared to just 32 percent engaging in traditional outdoor sports or nature-based activities. Walking accounted for 57 percent of all reported outdoor recreational activities.
“That’s a remarkable percentage that speaks to how people adapted when traditional recreation options were constrained,” Shen said.
It also, she added, highlights the importance of neighborhood-level greenness: Parks, greenways and even treelined streets in residential areas became the foundation of public mental health.
“The 3-30-300 rule – three trees visible from every dwelling, 30 percent neighborhood tree canopy and 300 meters or less to the nearest greenspace — takes on new urgency when viewed through this lens,” Shen said.
The component of the findings that the researchers found most disconcerting was a general reduction in outdoor recreation among U.S. adults during the pandemic, particularly among racial minorities and people perceiving that their financial situation was worsening.
The pattern likely contributed to the disproportionate mental health impacts experienced by communities of color during the pandemic, according to Shen.
“This raises concerns about the persisting effect of structural inequity in people’s ability to engage in outdoor recreation as a health behavior,” she said. “It is crucial to maintain or even increase access to outdoor recreation spaces during future crises like the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in park-poor areas or communities where vulnerable groups concentrate.”
Conversely, one of the most hopeful aspects of the findings was that individual adaptive engagement, like adjusting timing or finding new locations for outdoor activities, was a strong predictor of maintained or increased outdoor recreation, stronger even than structural factors like park access.
That suggests policy support for recreational adaptation and access can make a real difference, Shen said. Developing public education campaigns about outdoor recreation options during crises is one possibility; creating flexible use policies for public spaces is another.
“Our research shows that outdoor recreation isn’t some kind of bonus, it’s a public health necessity,” she said. “During the COVID-19 pandemic, when traditional mental health services were strained and social connections were limited, outdoor recreation served as a critical buffer against psychological distress. Policymakers who want to improve population mental health and advance health equity should prioritize outdoor recreation access with the same urgency they apply to other essential health services.”
Colby Parkinson, now a doctoral student at Penn State, helped lead the research while finishing his studies at Oregon State. The project also included Oregon State’s Megan MacDonald, Sam Logan and Lydia Gorrell and Kreg Lindberg of OSU-Cascades.
