The BEN NUÑEZ, SR. SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITY FOR TILLAMOOK COUNTY GRADUATES. Now in its third year.

WEBS is committed to supporting students who want to make a positive impact on our natural resources.

Friends of Netarts Bay WEBS (WEBS) works to build a community of environmental stewards around Netarts Bay watershed and the areas between Cape Meares and Cape Lookout.

The scholarship is named after long-time board member, Ben Nuñez, Sr. who passed away in 2022. Nuñez served as the Friends of Netarts Bay WEBS treasurer for many years and continued to be a strong ambassador for the non-profit upon resigning from the board. Ben’s legacy lives on through his generosity and we are delighted to award in his name, multiple scholarships.
The Friends of Netarts Bay WEBS Ben Nunez, Sr. Scholarship opportunity is now accepting applications. WEBS is offering up to three scholarships to graduating high school seniors or Tillamook County residents interested in pursuing a career in oceanography, marine conservation, estuary health, watershed ecology, or a closely related field.

This darkly comedic play by Beth Henley delves into the messy lives of the Magrath women, each grappling with their own “crimes of the heart.”

Under a searing Mississippi sun, the Magrath sisters’ fragile lives shatter when Babe, the youngest, shoots her philandering husband.

Summoned home, the eldest, Lenny, wrestles with small-town stagnation and dreams of escape.

Meg, the middle sister, a washed-up singer, drowns her past in whiskey, returning with secrets clinging to her like Spanish moss.

As Babe’s legal storm brews, the kitchen of their childhood home becomes a pressure cooker of buried memories and blistering truths.

Past resentments erupt, revealing the scars of their mother’s suicide and their father’s desertion.

Their eccentric cousin Chick stirs the pot, while their flamboyant lawyer Barnette offers shaky legal support and a dash of unexpected romance.

This Pulitzer Prize-winning play paints a bittersweet portrait of Southern women struggling to rise above their “crimes of the heart” and embrace the promise of a brighter future.

Hello! Rice & Shine here,

While we greatly appreciate the kind words that were expressed regarding us and our food cart, we do feel the need to express that we have no plans of leaving this town. We have dealt with our fair share of chaos including flooding, theft, crazies, and other things. No town is perfect. With that being said, Wheeler still remains our favorite little town on the coast! We love this town so much and the people in it.

We’re just so stoked to be here! Rest assured we aren’t going anywhere!
That’s all 🙂

<3,
Mandy & Casey
Rice & Shine

The Hoffman Center for the Arts in Manzanita is seeking additional models for its life drawing group. This is a paid position for three-hour drawing sessions that meet on alternating Tuesday evenings.

As a life drawing model, you will help artists deepen their understanding of the human form and structure under conditions of varying light and shadow. Although it is helpful to have prior modeling experience, it is not a prerequisite, and guidance will be provided. We welcome individuals of all body types, ages, and genders with a genuine interest in helping artists practice their drawing and painting skills. You will need to feel comfortable in front of a group wearing no clothing and have the ability to remain still for variable periods of time.

For more information, contact visualarts@hoffmanarts.org.

We’re planning some special events this month. We learned alot from our last event so thanks for your support and patience while we figure out the logistics! More details to come…

We’ve decided to stick with only 3 days open this month, especially since we’re planning on doing these special dinners so that means we’ll be open Friday, Saturday, 11:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. and Sunday, 11:30 a.m. – 4 p.m.

We also were only open for 2 weeks in January due to a Covid situation as well as that horrible ice storm so we’ve decided to keep the chowders for February. We’re changing a few ice creams out to honor Valentine’s Day, a birthday girl’s special ice cream and a collaboration w/Oregon Seaweed and Winter Waters PNW. Here they are as well as the rest from January menu:

ICE CREAMS

Pink Velvet…red berries, cream cheese, marshmallow cream, yummy on poppyseed cone

Burnt Chocolate on salted almond cone

Marshmallow on chocolate-dipped graham cracker cone

Gjetost on brown butter cone…this is for my long-time friend Diane who introduced me to this Norwegian dessert cheese and convinced me to make an ice cream out of it to great success! Happy Birthday Diane!!!

Sweet Potato Dulce on rice flour cone…this is the collaboration, a weird yet interesting flavor w/ube (purple sweet potatoes), custard and fresh dulce

Coconut Caramel (vegan) on vanilla vegan-gluten-free cone

Orange Creamsicle Sorbet (vegan) on vanilla vegan-gluten-free cone

We also have frozen Banana Pops w/chocolate and peanuts as well as Tiramisu Semifreddo in our ice cream case plus ice cream sands and choco-tacos in our grab n go (as long as they last!)

CHOWDERS (same as January)

NW Clam
Thai Red or Green Curry

This measure now disqualifies our Oregon State Senator Suzanne Weber of Tillamook (along with nine other Republicans) from running for election again.

As a reminder, Constitutional Meas. 113 passed by 68.32% so there really can’t be any chirping about a partisan conspiracy of the left (or any other group). By any definition of democracy, it’s the will of the people.

It’s shocking the kind of obeisance the modern GOP commands in its bonkers attempt to implement authoritarian rule at all levels.

Loving home needed for two sister dogs, about one year old. Great Pyrenees mix (we think). Super friendly, good with other dogs and kids. They do jump up so they will require some training. They’re super sweet and would love a home where they can get lots of exercise and access to the outdoors.

They were abandoned by a renter in our neighborhood and deserve better.
Free to a good home.

Please reach out with questions or for more pictures and videos. 503-545-9566
