For some unknown technical reason the full text of Gene Dieken’s post “Johnny Six-Jabs responds to” was not complete.
So here it is again, hopefully correct.

If ever a post isn’t complete or hasn’t been posted if you think it should have been, please let me know.

Apologies,

A sad moment for our local Anti-vax Patriarch: RFK Jr (putative Secretary of Health an Human Services) has officially announced that “The most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the MMR vaccine.” No response has been forthcoming from the Patriarch’s office as to whether Kennedy’s name will be placed on his List of War Pigs.

Of course, Sec. Kennedy didn’t come to this conclusion before quite a few kids checked into the ER with Vitamin A poisoning when they followed Kennedy’s previous recommendation to consume lots of cod liver oil.

OK, enough snideness! The outbreak is still happening and looking at where the large majority of cases have occurred, there’s much to be learned. Gaines County, Texas is on the far west high plains of the state and mainly known for extracting fossil fuels from the Permian Basin and irrigation water from the Ogallala Aquifer. The county of 22,000 is 82% vaccinated (95% is ideal for measles) and is home to large congregations of Anabaptist Mennonites who, while not theologically opposed to vaccination, seem in this case to be the focus for the outbreak along with plenty of people who no longer trust vaccines of any type.

So folks who meet congregately on a regular basis should be especially wary of the possibility that this highly contagious and serious disease is spreading farther afield.

Texas measles outbreak draws attention to traditionalist Mennonite community

How’s your siding?

We are now scheduling for siding sealing and treatment.
Cedar naturally contains oils that help to repel moisture and insects, which makes it a great choice for siding. However, over time these oils can break down, leaving the wood vulnerable to damage. Sealing your cedar siding helps to protect it from moisture, UV rays, and pests, which can help extend its lifespan.

Salmonberry Trail Coming to Wheeler This Summer!

Submitted By: gardencoachkaren@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Over a decade ago, the Salmonberry Trail was a brainchild of two Tillamook County moms looking for a place for their children to ride bikes and the family to take walks. They envisioned the Tillamook Bay Railroad conversion to a shared biking and hiking trail. And that vision is finally becoming a reality in bits and pieces.

Wheeler is slated to build a demonstration section of the trail this summer. Our neighbor to the south, Rockaway Beach, is preparing to develop a much longer trail through their town. Over time, the trails are envisioned to “grow together” to create a continuous path to connect our communities, provide a way for kids to ride bikes to school, attract tourism, and get hikers and bikers off of 101 along the coast.

The 82-mile-long trail will eventually connect the coast to the valley and provide a recreational opportunity for outdoor enthusiasts. Work on the east side has begun and rail beds have been converted to trails that will connect to other regional trails such as Banks/Vernonia, a popular biking path west of the Metro area.

To learn more and how you can help develop the trail visit salmonberrytrail.org/

Salmonberry Trail Foundation Awarded $62,474 Grant to Support Trail
Development in Wheeler
Wheeler, OR —April 8, 2025 — The Salmonberry Trail Foundation has been awarded
a $62,474 grant through the 2024–25 Tillamook Coast Visitors Association (TCVA)
Tourism Facilities Grant Program. The funding will support the development of a
demonstration segment of the Salmonberry Trail in Wheeler—a project focused on
safety, connectivity, and community impact.
Located on the Port of Tillamook Bay right-of-way, the 1,800-foot gravel trail will parallel
the Oregon Coast Scenic Railway (OCSR) tracks. Developed in partnership with the
City of Wheeler, the Salmonberry Trail Foundation, and OCSR with input from the Port
of Tillamook Bay (PoTB), local neighbors, businesses, and the Lower Nehalem
Community Trust (LNCT), the trail aims to enhance pedestrian safety, encourage
downtown walkability, and serve as a model for future segments of the Salmonberry
Trail.
“This project is a small but powerful example of what’s possible when communities work
together,” said Gavin Mahaley, Communications and Development Director at the
Salmonberry Trail Foundation. “We’re proud to help make Wheeler more walkable,
connected, and welcoming for residents and visitors alike.”
In addition to the trail itself, the project includes a concrete platform just south of
Hemlock Street where Oregon Coast Scenic Railway (OCSR) riders can safely
disembark in Wheeler. Along the trail, interpretive signage will share the ecological,
geological, historical, and cultural significance of the area, including Botts Marsh, which
the trail overlooks, providing visitors with both a scenic view and a deeper
understanding of the area.
Funding for the grant was made possible through a partnership between Tillamook
County and the TCVA. In addition to TCVA’s generous contribution, the project will be
supported by in-kind work and community donations.
“This demonstration segment in Wheeler shows how a thoughtfully designed trail can
support local economies, protect sensitive environments, and create meaningful
experiences for both visitors and locals,” said Karen Matthews, Council President,
Wheeler City Council.
Trail construction is expected to begin in Summer of 2025, with the City of Wheeler and
the Salmonberry Trail Foundation managing the project and its future maintenance.
About the Salmonberry Trail Foundation
The Salmonberry Trail Foundation is a nonprofit organization working to build the
82-mile Salmonberry Trail—from the Tualatin Valley to the Oregon Coast—connecting
communities through shared history, nature, and movement.

NCRD PARKING LOT CLOSURE UPDATE FOR APRIL 8 AND LATER IN WEEK

Submitted By: barbaraandchuck@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
NCRD PARKING LOT CLOSURE UPDATE: PREPPING MONDAY APRIL 7, TUESDAY APRIL 8, PAVING LATER IN THE WEEK, WATCH FOR UPDATES

Currently, Monday morning April 7th, parking lots are open at NCRD, and likely parking lots will be open tomorrow, Tuesday April 8th. The contractors are preparing for the paving which will hopefully happen later this week – Thursday April 10th – or early next week (Monday April 14, Tuesday April 15), depending upon the weather, and will impact all the parking areas.
During the closures, patrons are asked to park at the downtown Nehalem parking lot, at the pickleball courts or the Nehalem Bay Methodist Church – and the WAVE bus will provide free rides to NCRD.
When the parking lots are closed, look for the signage at the parking areas. The Tillamook County Transportation District/The Wave Route 3 bus will provide a fare-free deviation as it travels north and south through Nehalem. Each trip will travel off route to serve the pickleball courts, the parking lot at Hwy. 101 and 7th Street, and the Nehalem Methodist Church lots and take customers to NCRD; then pick up at NCRD and reverse the extra stops along the route. Look for the sandwich boards in each location for the WAVE NCRD bus. Patrons should be at the lots a few minutes before those scheduled times and can board for free after telling the driver they wish to go to NCRD.
Here are the times each Route 3 trip is scheduled to be in Nehalem: 5:53a, 6:15, 8:58, 10:00, 10:58, 12:00noon, 1:38p, 2:00p, 3:28p, 4:30p, 7:13p and 8:15p
A reminder that NCRD is still an active construction zone – no parking in the lower lot by the new aquatics center, and obey all NO PARKING signage. Please bring your patience with you when parking at NCRD and be respectful of the neighbors by not blocking driveways or entrances. If you can carpool to classes or events, please do so to lessen the impacts. Do not utilize the City rights-of-way as parking spaces, especially on the east side of 9th Street. There are cones and signage, please do not remove the cones/signage, and obey the restrictions.
There are likely to be some changes to the paving schedule and we may have to close the parking lots to accommodate equipment, and preparations for the paving and striping.
“We appreciate the patience – we’ll say it again – of our patrons and our neighbors as we negotiate the final stages of the construction of the new Aquatics Center,” said Justin Smith, Executive Director.
If you have questions, please call 855-444-6273, or go to www.ncrd.org.

PLEASE NOTE: This is “weather dependent”, if it is raining the paving will have to be postponed.

“We’ve made arrangements with Tillamook County Transportation District to provide some extra stops at the parking lot in downtown Nehalem, the pickleball courts and at the Methodist Church, so patrons can park there and catch a bus ride,” explained executive director Justin Smith.
The Tillamook County Transportation District/The Wave Route 3 bus will provide a fare-free deviation as it travels north and south through Nehalem.
