📰 News we're reading
• Rockaway Writers Rendezvous Event April 24 – 26; Variety of Workshops, Open Mics and More to Benefit Student Scholarships (tillamookcountypioneer.net) — Tillamook County residents are invited to the Rockaway Writers Rendezvous, a three-day writing and storytelling festival April 24–26 that partners with Tillamook County Library and Tillamook Bay Community College and funds scholarships for local students. With low-cost workshops, free student admission, and open mics, the event offers an accessible way to hone your craft and connect with the coastal creative community. 
• Marksman Ready? The range is hot (tillamookheadlightherald.com) — A new Youth Marksmanship and Safety Program is launching through Tillamook American Legion Post 47 in partnership with Tillamook 4H and the Tillamook Gun Club, offering air rifle training for ages 9–18. Young shooters will learn safety and fundamentals now, then have chances to compete statewide and even nationally once the season begins, guided by experienced local coaches and volunteers.
• A measure of independence in Oregon's political parties (newsfromthestates.com) — Two Tillamook-area lawmakers, Sen. Suzanne Weber and Rep. Cyrus Javadi, are central to a closely watched state Senate race where the Independent Party is testing its strength against Democrats and Republicans. For Tillamook voters, the outcome could shift representation and influence in Salem, especially with a Rockaway Beach Independent candidate also in the mix.
