MEET THE CAST: JON HELZER AS TOM WATSON
Jon returns to the stage for the third time, having previously performed in Riverbend Players’ productions of Arsenic and Old Lace and 12 Angry Jurors.
A local resident, he shares his life with his partner, Robyn.
Together, they enjoy exploring the outdoors, practicing the art of rock stacking, and delving into the fascinating study of humanity’s place in the universe.
THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN:
Rachel Watson longs for a different life.
Her only escape is the perfect couple she watches through the train window daily—happy and in love, or so it appears.
When Rachel learns that the woman she’s been secretly watching has suddenly disappeared, she finds herself as a witness and even a suspect in a thrilling mystery in which she will face more significant revelations than she could ever have anticipated.
From the best-selling book and major motion picture, see the stage play this fall!

“I could not be more pleased to see Mary running for a seat,” said current mayor Clif Kemp, “She has attended nearly every council session in the past two years, and I deeply appreciate her fair minded voice of reason at our meetings.”
Community members echo the sentiment, “I was hoping that Mary would run,” said long-time resident, Cindy Simmons, “She has already been a great advocate and organizer for the community. I appreciate her work in emergency preparedness and in organizing the Wheeler Clean-Up Day for three years now. I can only imagine what she will be able to accomplish as a council member.”
Leverette brings a wealth of experience to Wheeler. She had an almost 30-year career in government service for the State of Oregon and the City of Portland where she supervised both projects and staff. To assist in the deeper understanding of what motivates businesses, employers, tourists, and communities, she has a Master’s Degree in Psychology, and she was a Hospice Volunteer for over fourteen years.
“True solutions start with caring how people feel. I do that by nature and I have been trained to do that,” says Leverette. “I would be honored to take my years of experience and apply these to solutions that will serve the city long term. I am organized, positive and practical. I am seeking a seat on the Wheeler City Council because I am devoted to serving my community. I want to see this gem of a city flourish. I am committed to Wheeler’s future.”
Ms. Leverette invites anyone with opinions on Wheeler to contact her directly at LeveretteForWheeler@gmail.com or find her on Facebook at facebook.com/leveretteforwheeler

With Referendum 29-179 on the ballot for this November’s election, I wanted to understand how other Oregon cities bill for water, so I did a little research.
For 24 years the League of Oregon Cities has compiled Water Rates Surveys from cities in Oregon to understand trends in water and stormwater rates. Most cities in the survey use a drinking water rate structure like Manzanita’s tiered rate structure that includes a base rate with additional charges for water use beyond that amount. It’s not the same thing as a surcharge which is a fee for specific costs or conditions like when you use a debit card at a different bank or ask for cash back at Fred Meyer.
Of the responding cities 90% bill monthly, 10% bill bi-monthly and 0% bill quarterly. While not all cities in Oregon responded to the voluntary survey, that’s a pretty stunning result. So, I decided to look at the City of Philomath, where Randy Kugler, the author of the referendum, was City Manager for 18 years, to see how Philomath does it.
The city of Philomath bills monthly. In Philomath City Council meetings, archived from 1994 and available on their city’s website, Mr. Kugler often spoke about the importance of water conservation and how monthly billing helped save water. In addition, he praised the monthly billing system technology as increasing efficiency for the city at the March 14, 2011, Council Meeting. Mr. Kugler also included ways consumers could improve water conservation at home in the 2011 Philomath Water Study. During that time Philomath Public Works was in the process of installing radio read water meters throughout the city at the behest of Council and the recommendation of the Public Works Committee.
The Philomath Public Works Operations Supervisor reported at the August 13, 2012, Philomath Council Meeting that the last radio read water meters had been installed resulting in huge savings in staffing to read the meters every month.
As City Manager, Mr. Kugler saw the benefit of monthly billing and water conservation for consumers and Philomath. No other cities in Tillamook County bill quarterly. All see the value of monthly billing to prevent water loss by identifying leaks and faulty meters sooner than later while encouraging conservation by consumers.
It just makes sense.

A person of many talents she helped grow the NCRD Theater into its present, impressive condition. Mary did everything from book performers, sew stage backdrops, run sound and lights for performances, design posters, write successful grants for the theater’s needs and perhaps most Herculean of all, she managed a performing arts venue through the worst of COVID.
NCRD boasts a vibrant and popular presence in our community today. Thank you, Mary, for 8 years of work to help make this possible. Earlier this week she quietly and almost under the radar passed the torch to a new NCRD theater director.
If I recall, it was Mary’s success with managing and participating in our local Trashion show that began her journey into theater. Hopefully, we will continue to see her on that stage. I’ve encountered a number of people who were surprised to hear of Mary’s retirement as theater manager since it didn’t seem to be common knowledge. However, she isn’t going far away. She continues to reside in our area so you may bump into her and still have the opportunity to greet her and acknowledge her contributions if you are feeling the desire.
