Park district
awarded grants
The Sunset Park and Rec-
reation District was one of 15
organizations nationwide to
be awarded a $90,000 Com-
munity Wellness Hub Grant
from the National Recreation
and Park Association.
The grant focuses on con-
nections between community
organizations and expand-
ing access to healthy food.
Increasing access to healthy
food has long been a priority
for the park district through
the meals program and the
Seaside Farmers Market.
In partnership with Meals
on Wheels, the meals pro-
gram provides over 20,000
meals annually to those in
need.
This year the park district
also partnered with Helping
Hands Reentry Outreach to
provide meals to the warm-
ing center in Seaside during
colder months.
The district also received
$100,000 from the Oregon
Association of Education
Service Districts through the
Oregon Community Sum-
mer Grant Program. Funds
go to youth program staff -
ing and costs for K-5 summer
camps and support scholar-
ships for low income families
to access these programs.
Funds enhance children’s
experiences through fi eld
trips and supplies for arts,
social and emotional learn-
ing, outdoor and environ-
mental education, science
and sports and recreation
activities.

Local pickleball enthusiast Meyer Freeman
announced the launch of Playful Pickleball, off ering
friendly pickleball lessons for beginners and interme-
diate players in Gearhart and Astoria.
The fastest-growing sport in the nation with 4.8
million participants, pickleball has exploded in
popularity over the past fi ve years — driven by a
short learning curve, exciting rapid-fi re rallies and
increased demand for outdoor social experiences.
Freeman began playing pickleball two years ago
in Gearhart. Last year he teamed with Richard Mar-
shall of Seaside to win the men’s 4.0 doubles gold
medal at the 2021 Dinko de Mayo tournament in
Long Beach, Washington.

After 12 years of outstand-
ing service to the Cannon
Beach Chorus and the North
Oregon Coast communities,
John Buehler and Susan Bue-
hler have moved to New-
berg to be closer to family. As
music educators, they shared
their many talents and love
of music in schools, churches
and the community.
The Cannon Beach Cho-
rus is actively searching for
a new director and accompa-
nist to begin in September.
The former conductor of
the Cannon Beach Chorus,
John Buehler built the Can-
non Beach Chorus to a rich
60-voice ensemble, as he also
supported local high school
choral programs and church
music.
Susan Buehler was the
consummate
accompanist
for the Cannon Beach Cho-
rus. Both the Seaside Cal-
vary Episcopal Church and
the Cannon Beach Commu-
nity Church benefi ted from
her expertise on the organ.
Local high school choral pro-
grams also enjoyed her piano
accompaniment.
