Community Engagement
Protest Chant Contest: We’re looking for a unified, positive message to share with passersby during the protest-the people with the hand gestures. Ideas so far include “I love you” and “Wake up.” Let us know what you’d like our group to say—let’s keep it clean and impactful!
Looking Ahead: As the weather changes, we’re considering other community projects over the holidays and a letter-writing campaign. Share your ideas with us! We know everybody won’t want to subject to the weather.
Support the North County Food Bank
Please bring canned food, cash, or checks to donate. Every contribution goes directly to the North County Food Bank in Wheeler. Thank you to everyone who donates and helps fight hunger in our community!
Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm. We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events!

In dixiedarrow@icloud.com post about protecting free speech, she mentions “BBQ marchers”.
I don’t know why she calls them “BBQ marchers”, which is not accurate. The name of the group is North Coast Resistance.
As administrator of the bbq, I post a lot of different things. Should everything posted be called “BBQ whatever”??????
Dixie, please give more thought to accuracy.
For the record, personally I am in support of North Coast Resistance, which has nothing to do with “BBQ marchers”

YES, many of us are concerned, because now and in the recent past, free speech has been suppressed. because of an event like the recent assassination of a very influential and nationally known and loved person. This event could and may bring about laws that put more limitations on free speech.
One law is the “PATRIOT Act,” which has been criticized for potentially chilling free speech. Limitations on speech can occur during wartime, and national crises, like “Covid”, and possibly now, with the assassination of Charlie Kirk!
Will this crime be used to put even more limitations on “free speech”? Was this crime committed just for this purpose? Was this crime done to create more rhetoric to further divide the American people? All of the above and much more probably. If groups can use this event for their own purposes they will!
“This is the lefts fault – their speech is full of hate and incitement!!! This is the rights fault – their speech is full of hate and violence!! PLEASE JUST STOP! ENOUGH ALREADY!
The modern legal test for restricting speech is
from Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969), and provides a much broader protection for speech. For speech to be restricted, it must be: “Directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action,” and”Likely to incite or produce such action”.
Unfortunately, in my opinion that looks like exactly like the situation we have here with the shooting of Charlie Kirk:
The good news is: A lot of Americans, even though they may not take part in any political process like voting, and may not even know the name of the current president, seem to be attached to the “free speech”clause in the bill of rights, and can get very emotional about it. Almost everyone cares.
Here is an interesting quote published today in the Oregon Catalyst: this is by Larry Huss
In the aftermath of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA we have witnessed two phenomena that should henceforth be burned indelibly into our psyche. First, that disagreement can turn into blind hate with only the slightest of encouragement. And second that both sides of the political spectrum will, in turn, embrace suppression of free speech.
Very Interesting comment !!

Let’s get ready for war ‘Merica! Mass-murder is what our country does best! World War Three will be entertaining as hell (excuse the pun) as our phones will bring us all sorts of photos of bombs and planes and flag-waving events! Maybe Bruce Springsteen will write a really cool ‘patriotic’ song! Military jets can fly over a Chiefs’ game and Taylor Swift can wave to them! Maybe Victoria’s Secret models (Mossad company once run by Epstein) can do a half-time show! Any entrapaneurs out there? I say it’s a great time to invest in yellow ribbons! Buy low, sell high in the months to come!
When ‘Merica’s war is over, Hollywood can cash-in, and I bet one of the movies, maybe one starring Tom Hanks and Sean Penn, even wins an academy award!
World War Three was started, in my view, by ‘Merica, Israel, and Europe (NATO + Israel), when Barak Obama and the CIA agreed to take the helm and overthrow the democratically-elected government of Ukraine using USAID money. The op was run by Victoria Nuland. (She also just overthrew Nepal don’t ya know! And this is where the lying Hindu war-pig Tulsi Gabbard’s appointment comes in.)
After Obama overthrew the democratically-elected government of Ukraine, the op was continued by Drumf #1, Biden (HUGE effort), and now Drumf #2, to go full kinetic with the pathetic remnants of “MAGA” (anti-Americans in my view) cheering him on. And lots of pro-war “Ukraine” Democrats will also be cheering on ‘Merica’s war with ‘homophobic/misogynist’ Putin in support of gay Zelensky.
The way I am reading it, in a few weeks or months, our current war with Russia (NATO V RUSSIA) will get even hotter, and WW3 will expand from there. China will attack Taiwan, Israel and ‘Merica will attack Iran, ‘Merica will attack Venezuela, Pakistan and India will engage further, etc. etc. etc.
www.the-sun.com/news/15251336/russias-nato-drone-airspace-ww3-ukraine-trump/
And right on cue, just in time for NATO’s WW3, Britain has lost its democracy/freedom. ‘Mercia is next:
metro.co.uk/2025/09/25/uk-citizens-will-soon-required-a-digital-brit-card-id-24261542/
From article: “The petition said the digital ID system is ‘a step towards mass surveillance and digital control.’
“Confirming the measure this morning, Sir Keir said: ‘I know working people are worried about the level of illegal migration into this country. A secure border and controlled migration are reasonable demands, and this government is listening and delivering. Digital ID is an enormous opportunity for the UK. It will make it tougher to work illegally in this country, making our borders more secure.”
My take: Just like Dems in ‘Merica, British billionaires (globalist tech swine and banker swine), who hate their own countrymen, destroyed Britain’s border and as a result destroyed their country. Then, when the people who LEGALLY live there got pissed, the same open border criminals offer the solution: Digital ID and total government/banker control over ALL of the people, legally or illegally residing in the country. (Like I said, ‘Merica is next, and it would hav NO DIFFERENT under Kamala.)
(But Brits’ total loss of freedom is actually incredibly convenient! THEY WILL NEVER HAVE TO LOOK FOR A LOST UTILITY BILL AGAIN!!!!!! IMAGINE THE TIME-SAVING POSSIBILITIES THAT COME WITH TOTAL SURRENDER!!!!)
from article:
‘And it will also offer ordinary citizens countless benefits, like being able to prove your identity to access key services swiftly – rather than hunting around for an old utility bill.’
And in Wyden news:
Can we please get rid of him? Not just because he lies, but because he is the ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee and he PRIORITIZES ISRAEL OVER AMERICA EVERY TIME. HE IS A STAUNCH SUPPORTER OF PALESTINIAN GENOCIDE. He has taken over 1-million dollars from the overtly genocidal Nazi-terror organization known as AIPAC. Wyden is THE senator who helps the CIA start wars and bring hell to earth. He needs to go, and if this lawsuit is legit (I believe it is) maybe his evil, dishonest, ’progressive’ reign will finally end:
Barbara F. Matson
Apr. 29, 1929 – Sep. 22, 2025
Barbara “Barb” Matson, a beloved friend to many on the north coast of Oregon, passed away peacefully in hospice at her home in Borrego Springs, Calif. She was surrounded by family and friends and was 96 years old.
Barbara and her husband Richard (“Dick”) made Wheeler, Ore. their home in the late 1970’s. An artist and singer, she and Dick are remembered for their involvement in the local art and business communities.
They moved to Borrego Springs in 2001 where they continued to be involved in the art and music scenes. Dick died in 2004.
Barbara is survived by her three children: Leah, Zorn and Breta.
A gathering of friends will honor Barbara’s life Saturday, Oct. 11 at Waterfront Park in Wheeler. The time will be announced.
Please email replies.
Thank you in advance for your consideration and generosity.
The current Health Center facility will be vacant on or about October 8, 2025 while the Health Center staff and services relocate to the new Health Center in Wheeler.
Under the agreement with the Health District, the Food Bank will lease a portion of the vacated building for up to nine months while modifications are made to a Food Bank property behind the Hope Chest Thrift Shop that is located between Nehalem and Manzanita on U.S. Highway 101. The Food Bank has been working to prepare the new location for some time.
The new temporary location of the Food Bank will ensure that weekly food distribution will be minimally impacted, while work on the new Food Bank location continues. NCFB plans to be on its own property in approximately 9 months, and will keep our community aware of our progress.
The Health District expects to begin environmental remediation work on the old Wheeler hospital later this year. The work, including removal of hazardous materials in the 70-year-old building, cannot be done while the building is occupied. The Food Bank has occupied space in the lower level of the old hospital for many years.
The Health District shares with the Food Bank not only a long history of collaboration but a strong commitment to addressing food security in our community.
“The District appreciates and supports the Food Bank mission,” said Health District president Marc Johnson, “and we certainly appreciate their understanding that the condition of the old hospital has become increasingly problematic and expensive as a location for a vital community service.”
“The North County Food Bank Board, given a number of options for a temporary location, feels that continuing our partnership with NBHD and leasing the space offered in the old Rinehart Clinic building is the best way for NCFB to continue serving our community and neighbors,” said Jackie McCrady, NCFB Board President. “We hope to remain open without interruption to food distribution during our move in October.”
“The food bank sincerely appreciates everyone who helped make this happen, including Nehalem Bay Health District, Nehalem Bay Community Services, and members of our community,” added McCrady.
A formal agreement is expected to be completed soon.
Thanks BBQ
Meet us at 11:30AM at the South Neahkahnie Trailhead for a walk down LNCT’s Headwater’s trail to our stewardship benches. Paper bag your lunch and enjoy a midday break outside with friends. The walk is ~2.5 miles round trip, with a gentle incline.
Note—the Headwaters trail is uneven and mildly steep in some areas. To access the Headwaters Trail, we will meet at the Neahkahnie Mountain South Trailhead parking lot and walk down from there. Plan to wear shoes with a decent tread and dress for the weather. Email maijahecht@nehalemtrust.org with any questions.
Living in this fragile area near the ocean, wetlands, and forested areas, reminds us of the many ways having a healthy ecological system is crucial to our community’s health and wellbeing. Let us all become caring stewards of the wild that surrounds us. The beavers and other wild creatures who depend on the wetlands will thank you.
NCCWP wants no more logging and pesticide use in drinking water sources regardless of who owns the land, and we want an end to pesticide
applications near where people live, work and recreate. Safe drinking water and clean air are part of the public trust that all people are entitled to have. www.healthywatershed.org | www.facebook.com/NCCWATERSHEDPROTECTION

Open Garden Saturdays are open to all. Meet our Garden Coordinator, Janice, in the barn at 9:30 for a brief orientation before being assigned to an area of the garden.
Please dress for the weather and bring gloves if you have them. We’ll provided the rest!
It keeps tripping our GFCI outlets making it unusable so I am giving it away to someone who can make use of it.
Please call or text Dan at (503) 459-2302 if interested.
These work parties are beginner friendly and an opportunity to learn about the engineering of hiking trails.
Alder Creek Farm and Natural Area’s Nehalem Teaching Trail already supports an impressive variety of native plants and simulated ecosystems for community learning—but we’re looking to grow. This short trail will extend educational access into a different ecosystem and connect to the Natural Area’s pollinator meadow. We hope it will also add some variety to habitat access for bird watchers who visit the farm as a part of the Oregon Coast Birding Trail.
Tools and gloves are provided, new volunteers welcome and no prior experience needed. We will be working on uneven ground, bending, and moving small rocks and brush during this process. Join as frequently as you please. Email shane@nehalemtrust.org for weekly updates on where to meet.
Tires have a lot of tread left and are fantastic in the snow.
Please call or text Dan at (503) 459-2302 if interested.
