The rushing water that came in under the wall and pooled at the front door has been removed by a very diligent crew.
Thank you Coast Construction!

Now, we need a little time to dry out. The store will be CLOSED this week and the December 9th Repair Cafe is CANCELLED.

❤Thank you for your kind words and monetary support. All has been very helpful.

Love from,
The Heart

Elk and deer on road

Submitted By: Donvon97130@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Anyone traveling the roads around here have seen elk and or deer on or near the road. My wife and I have got in the habit of turning on our flashers for a couple of minutes to let the on-coming cars know there is something to be careful about.

Unlike Gearheart which recently had its annual elk slaughter where supposedly 78 female elk were mowed down because they were on private property. You know at least half those cows had calves with them. We’d just as soon give the elk a brake and ask others to do the same.

Saving Precious Memories with Tape to Digital Conversions

Submitted By: nehalembayexperience@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hello bbq’ers. My name is Drew and I am a video tech.
Birthday parties, graduations, baby’s first steps and grandpa’s last, tape has served us well as a way of remembering our important moments. Unfortunately tape deteriorates over time and saving these stories for the years to come is best done with digital media.
I can take your VHS – mini VHS – 8 mm – super 8 – mini digital cassette tapes and transfer them to DVD for players and mp4 files for storing/sharing on net platforms. If needed I can edit content and adjust contrast, color correction and camera stabilizing.
Cost is reasonable and depends on tape type and desired VHS and/or mp4 output. Drop me a note explaining what you want preserved and I will give you a solid estimate. Sharing memories with family and friends would be a great holiday gift.
Cheers, Drew. nehalembayexperience@gmail.com

NCCWP’s Free Zoom Webinar on Dec 7: Professional Ecological Forester Herb Hammond

 

Submitted By: Anna.nccwp@gmail.com – Click to email about this post

On Thursday, December 7 at 6:00 pm, Herb Hammond, a forest ecologist and retired professional forester with over 45 years of experience in the fields of forest research, ecologically sustainable forest plans, consultation, and public education, will give a Zoom talk entitled “Forests for Water or Timber: A Clearcut Problem.” Mr. Hammond and his spouse, Susan, co-founded the Silva Forest Foundation, a non-profit organization devoted to research and guidance in ecosystem-based conservation planning. He has helped Indigenous and rural communities across several continents create over 25 ecosystem-based conservation plans. Mr. Hammond has been the recipient of Canada’s Gold Award for Sustainable Living and has authored several award-winning books, including “Seeing the Forest Among the Trees: The Case for Wholistic Forest Use.”

The presentation is being coordinated by the North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection, in collaboration with the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition, the Lower Nehalem Community Trust, and the Peachland Watershed Protection Alliance (Peachland, BC). In his presentation, Mr. Hammond will address what comprises a healthy watershed, how watersheds provide high quality water in moderate flows, and how water may be degraded by inappropriate human activities. He will also discuss the current health of watersheds, both forested and clearcut, ranging from coastal Oregon to British Columbia. This will provide insight into the direct interactions between deforestation, extreme weather events, and climate change. Mr. Hammond will address what needs to be done to restore and safeguard forested drinking water sources. He will include his personal insights based on his review of reports and images on the current condition of Jetty Creek Watershed, which is the primary source of drinking water for Rockaway Beach. Mr. Hammond’s talk will conclude with a question-and-answer period.

Register here: secure.lglforms.com/form_engine/s/VPHvQ4TcXM3dGGdiF8OAAQ?t=1699485596.

This event is hosted by the North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection (formerly known as Rockaway Beach Citizens for Watershed Protection), a 13-year-old grassroots organization located on the North Coast of Oregon. While NCCWP opposes logging and spraying in all drinking watersheds, we continue to focus on Jetty Creek in Rockaway Beach because it offers the best example of how logging activities were allowed to compromise, and possibly destroy, a town’s drinking water. Our goal is to prevent logging and spraying in our drinking watersheds. Our mission is to raise awareness to accomplish this goal.

Encouragement to Attend City Council Meeting Wednesday/6PM

Submitted By: wstone1991@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Get ready for another thrilling episode of the new soap opera, “The Tides Of Manzanita”

In this week’s episode in the tumultuous world of Manzanita, the councilors are facing their toughest challenges yet. Join us as they meet behind closed doors in an intense executive session to tackle the city’s most controversial issues!
What’s on their agenda? Should they reveal the shocking details of a $90,000 legal bill to the public on top of the recent $42,000 charge? Should they reveal what’s hidden within those legal charges to the citizens?? Should they disclose the details of the lawsuit between the City Manager and the city? Are other lawsuits on the horizon? After pressure from councilors and the Mayor’s sudden resignation, can they find an interim Mayor candidate who won’t challenge their motives? After dipping into the water fund, will they dare to do it again, especially after raising water rates? Should they take out a loan for a multi-million dollar City Hall after denying voters the chance to vote on it? Can they successfully divert the probing questions from the public?
Get ready for a rollercoaster of suspense, drama, and intrigue that will leave you on the edge of your seat! Will Manzanita’s councilors manage to keep their secrets hidden, or will the truth be exposed, shaking the city to its core?
Tune in to “The Tides Of Manzanita” and find out what happens when power, deception, and ambition collide in this gripping soap opera that will keep you guessing until the very end! Don’t miss it – this Wednesday’s Council Meeting!
