THE OREGON DEPARTMENT OF AVIATION is hosting a community meeting on Friday, March 9, 6:30-7:30 p.m., at Kiawanda Community Center in its effort to collect public feedback on the Pacific City State Airport.
ODA to host March 9 public meeting for Pacific City Airport The Oregon Department of Aviation will host a community meeting on Friday, March 9, 6:30-7:30 p.m. at Kiawanda Community Center as part of its continuing effort to receive input from the community on the future of the Pacific City State Airport. The ODA has previously expressed an interest in selling the airport, which must remain an airstrip because of deed restrictions, to a private individual who would operate the property as a private airport. However, in previous public discussions, many pilots who use the airport have expressed reservations about
the facility not remaining in the public’s hands. To that end, a support organization, Friends of Pacific City State Airport (see related story, page 2) was formed following the last public meeting in January. As of press time, the agenda for the March 9 meeting has yet to be finalized but ODA expects the meeting to be led by Mitch Swecker, director of ODA; John Wilson, Jr., operations and emergency specialist of ODA; and Matt Maass; state airport manager for ODA. Kiawanda Community Center is located at 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City.

Master Gardeners pledge pruning help on March 17 The Tillamook County Master Gardeners are sponsoring a one-day Community Pruning Day on March 17 with the goal of providing pruning assistance to those in Tillamook County who are unable to do so themselves due to physical limitations. There will be no charge for the help which will allow Master Gardeners to use some of the skills they have learned through the Oregon State University Master Gardener’s program to benefit the Tillamook community. The pruning will be done by qualified Master Gardeners, assisted by some of this year’s apprentice
Master Gardeners. Pruning projects throughout Tillamook County will be considered, but limited to bushes, shrubs and small trees. Larger trees that would require the use of a ladder or power tools to prune will not be eligible for the program. According to TCMG, the group is dedicated to volunteer service in the community and “give” hundreds of hours per year to improve and support Tillamook County. Applications for the pruning assistance program are available at the OSU Extension Office, 4506 3rd Street,
