A Mini Music Festival – Three Bands & a Taco Truck!

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: baycityartscenter@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Join us for a Mini Music Festival presented by the Bay City Arts Center on Saturday, September 28th, 2024! The special event starts at 4pm with music starting at 4:30 PM with three diverse musical acts, all performing outdoors—so bring a lawn chair and enjoy the tunes in the open air. Enjoy food on-site from Tillamooks’ local food truck, Taqueria Mendez. Weather permitting, the festival will move indoors to the upstairs performance hall.
​
Little Gem at 4:30 PM: Trusting the process, believing in goodness, and leaning into connection are the main ingredients that make up Little Gem’s debut project, “Threadweight.” With lyrics written over the course of eight years and brought to life in 2024 with collaborators Tommy Diaz and Mat Larimer (Spare Key), Little Gem (Anna Brown) hopes to bring listeners in touch with their own nostalgia. Her sound is a distillation of memories, half-full cups, and curiosity, motivated by a desire to explore feelings that both haunt us and remind us to look for the light. Little Gem draws inspiration from artists such as Grouper, Hundred Waters, Adrienne Lenker, and Fred Again. Layers of vocal harmonies, warm cello overtures, electronic soundscapes, and acoustic guitar guide “Threadweight” through its double-sided release, featuring both an acoustic version and an electronic remix of each track, composed by Spare Key.
​​​
Hope Montgomery & The Invasive Species at 5:30 PM: This local indie pop quartet comprised of Hope Montgomery (of course!), Charlie Wooldridge (lead guitar), Geoff Fielder (bass), and Levi Timm (drums). Sonic explorations into the depths of complex emotional turbulence are complimented by catchy melodic phrasing that you’ll want to get up and dance to.

PatchWork Jack at 6:30 PM: Closing out the festival, PatchWork Jack will take you on a journey through a mix of Texan country, Cajun folk, Latin ballads, and Romani swing. Their music, like an old worn-out quilt, tells tales of love, loss, resilience and the human experience. A heaping helping of honky-tonk humanity might be just what you need.

Water billing

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: judysugg@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Ordinances are amended or replaced over time to reflect changes. Manzanita is getting ready to reevaluate its Comp Plan and there will be Ordinances that will be rewritten, updated, amended. This is not illegal. It’s logical.

In 2023, the Council led by Mayor Simmons voted on changing the billing cycle, water rates and units tied to the base rate. There was plenty of notice given to water users through communications through the water bill notices, city website, public meetings, etc. Ordinance 90-8 was amended to reflect the billing cycle change to monthly. The City did amend the Ordinance once the mistake was discovered.

From Yachats to Astoria, not one city bills quarterly. Why move backward?

WOMEN IN THEIR 80S TELLING THE TRUTH, READINGS SEPT. 18th HOFFMAN CENTER

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: laura@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
EDITOR’S NOTE: Reserve your spot now, mark your calendar – this is an event to be sure to attend! These women are some of our icons of grace, power and lives-well-lived. Several of mentors and greatly admired women in this group, and heck yes – we all need to hear “When A Woman Tells the Truth”. This is bound to be one of those “you’ll wish had been there moments” in Manzanita, September 18th at Hoffman Center.

(MANZANITA, OREGON)—What happens when women tell the truth? Find out at a special event at Hoffman Center, Wednesday, September 18, 4 p.m. featuring Dena Taylor and her latest book, “When A Woman Tells The Truth,” an anthology of creative works and writings about life by women in their 80s.

Along with Taylor, seven local women—all over 80—will read their favorite pieces from this anthology. Readers will include Liz Cole, Claudia Johnson, Julianne Johnson, Linda Kozlowski, Ann Morgan, Leila Salmon and Suzanne Wallis. Glenna Cook, a poet, will be here from Puyallup to read her selection from the book.
A regular visitor to Manzanita for over 60+ years and a resident of Santa Cruz, California for over five decades Taylor has filled her post-retirement years with activism, writing, extensive international travel, obtaining her pilot’s license, and saying yes to unusual opportunities of all kinds from her circle of life-long friends.

“I turned 80 in March of 2021 and was talking to a friend who had also recently turned 80. We discussed what that milestone meant to us, and we wondered what other women were going through. We decided to find out and this book project was born,” said Taylor.

“I am eager to share this book and conversation with the Nehalem Bay area community and look forward to hearing the amazing women—all in their 80s—who have stepped up to read at this event. This will be a fantastic opportunity for women and men to hear what older women have to say!”

The book is filled with funny, heart-breaking, tender, sly, angry and loving stories, poems, essays and memoirs by poets, professors, Zen Buddhists, theater directors, French teachers, jewelry artists, union organizers, midwives, hospice workers—all women in their 80s. The honesty, wisdom and humor contained in the book’s pages portray rich lives whose roots are still growing into the future.

The book will be available for sale at the event and the author will be signing. Secure your spot in advance at hoffmanarts.org/events/author-event-dena-taylor/?Admission is $7 at the door, if space is available. Hoffman Center for the Arts, 594 Laneda Avenue, Manzanita.

“When A Woman Tells The Truth” is Taylor’s ninth published book. Her other titles include, “Exclamation Points: Collected Poems,” she co-authored with her daughter Becky Taylor “Tell Me The Number Before Infinity: The story of a girl with a quirky mind, an eccentric family, and oh yes, a disability,” and several books on women’s issues. Dena Taylor completed her graduate studies at Rutgers School of Social Work and is retired from careers in social work and education.
