Deborah Neal is the Social Chair of the Cape Meares Community Association. She was one of the key persons involved in planning the highly successful July 4, 2014 Celebration. This is a big responsibility and a lot of work. We are all grateful for what she did.
And Deborah was also grateful for the way the other members of the CMCA Board members pitched in and helped with the preparations. This special holiday event does not happen all by itself. Deborah sent a poem to the Board members that is too good not to share with everyone in the community. Below is the poem she wrote.
Randy Klobas is leading the shingling crew for the Cape Meares Community Center and needs volunteer assistance from a limited number of local residents over roughly the next three to four weeks.
Because our community water reservoir is compromised by a landslide our district engineer has recommended filling the tank to only 1/3 capacity. There are plans to bring our new reservoir on line after the July 4th weekend.
Common sense limits: Please refrain from washing cars, use a watering can rather than leaving a hose running while attending plants, one load of laundry per day, and short showers.
The Board of Commissioners is requesting feedback from both individuals and from the Cape Meares Community Association regarding the various proposals that were shared. The feedback should be provided beyond our three county commissioners. Resources are needed for the project at the federal level so senators and representatives should be contacted to let them know of our needs.
Most of us recognize that there are black bears in the woods surrounding our community. However, seeing one in the middle of the day is unusual. In the past week there have been several sightings and further evidence that one, or more black bears are prowling around Cape Meares.
Tillamook County Public Works Director, Liane Welch, will be presenting several proposals regarding the Loop Road at the Tillamook County Board of Commissioners public meeting on June 24 beginning at 2 PM in the Commissioners Meeting Room B in Tillamook. This is a meeting that should be of interest to Cape Meares residents.
Ms. Welch will also host a presentation at the Oceanside Community Center on August 2 at 10 AM. Cape Meares residents are invited to attend this meeting to learn more about the proposed solutions to the closed Loop Road.
The Cape Meares Loop Road was closed in January 2013 after the road began to accelerate its slide to the Pacific Ocean.
Currently residents of Cape Meares are limited to only Bayocean Road as an evacuation route to Tillamook.
