Are you going to eat that?
🎃
Local Alyssa Bonnarens has ideas for your pumpkins. Not the giant ones you’re carving faces into, and definitely not your green, warty gourds. She's after the sugar pie pumpkins—and she's got my eye on the delicious, edible squash varieties adding color and interest to your autumn porch décor.
🎃
Let’s use the fruit! This monthly column, written by Alyssa Bonnarens features ideas and tips from your neighborhood fruit picker. Alyssa also writes about the topic on Substack.

Newberg City Manager Will Worthey is the first to admit he had no intention of becoming a city manager. The Newberg Public Library director was appointed interim city manager in 2021 following a tumultuous decade that saw 10 interim or permanent city managers.
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
Now, the city may have a single city manager for the next 10 years as Worthey and city council agreed to an employment contract that will see him retire in the role—fulfilling a promise he made to the late City Councilor Denise Bacon in 2022.
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
Learn about Worthey's upbringing and how he's bringing his librarian experience to the city's CEO role now until 2034 at newsberg.org

If you’ve thought about buying a home but feel like it’s just too expensive right now, you’re not alone. The housing market can feel overwhelming but there are opportunities for savvy buyers who know how to navigate it.
🏡
Right now, many sellers are offering $10,000–$20,000 in seller credits. These credits can be applied toward out-of-pocket costs, like closing fees, or used to reduce your monthly mortgage payment by up to $500.
🏡
Unfortunately, most buyers don’t know about this strategy, missing out on one of the best opportunities to purchase a home since 2022.
🏡
Read all about it in this sponsored story by Daniel Roberts at the Joyful Roberts Group. Learn more about how they’re helping first time home buyers navigate a challenging market at their website or social media pages (tagged), and look forward to his First Time Homebuyer Workshop on Oct. 21!

This is by far the most popular topic I've seen on the community Facebook group, so I decided to get some answers. We're all about answering the community's questions here at Newsberg.

Long story short: nothing. There are no plans at the moment. I received confirmation from the leasing agent that it's still available, and Elmer's corporate said they currently have no plans to open a restaurant in Newberg. There have been no permits filed for any sort of demolition.
🥞
I'll be keeping my eye on what appears to be the hottest commercial real estate building in Newberg, but in the meantime head to newsberg.org to read the full story, including a shallow dive into the history and ultimate demise of Shari's Cafe & Pies.
