LAST THREE DAYS TO BUY BULBS-
Spring blooming bulbs will be on sale at North County Recreation District (NCRD) this Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. This is a project run by Friends of NCRD. Friends of NCRD Mission is to support NCRD by promoting it and raising funds for its programs and projects. Join us at NCRD from 10 AM-Noon on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. We’ve got a little bit of good weather coming up and it will be the ideal time to get these bulbs planted. This fundraiser is a bit behind our projections so please stop by and purchase to help us out. A color catalog can be sent to you via email. Just contact Gail: gailmyoung@me.com and she will get you a catalog. Or stop by NCRD and see pictures of what the bulbs will look like this next spring. Thanks to all who have helped with this fundraiser! Bring a friend and we’ll meet you in the lobby.

Oliver Finch Arnold has had a passion for drama since he could talk! He loves wolves, Zelda, playing soccer, baseball, reading, and art. This is his 2nd performance with Riverbend Players after making his debut as the Young George Bailey in the holiday classic IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE. Oliver lives in Manzanita with his parents, his pup Saoirse, and his wolf Wander.

Humorist Jean Shepherd’s memoir of growing up in the Midwest in the late 1930s follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun under the tree for Christmas.

The consistent response: “You’ll shoot your eye out!”
All the elements from the beloved motion picture are here, including the family’s temperamental exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the boys’ experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin; Ralphie’s father winning a lamp shaped like a woman’s leg in a net stocking; Ralphie’s fantasy scenarios and more.

“When I typed into my computer the poverty rate of our three cities” listed below, this is what came up. Now, I’m sure there are other statistics you can come up with when you type in the same, but for the sake of argument let’s just say these poverty rate percentages are pretty close to being correct.
“Manzanita has a 2023 population of 633. Manzanita is currently growing at a rate of 1.28% annually and its population has increased by 3.94% since the most recent census, which recorded a population of 609 in 2020. The average household income in Manzanita is $96,466 with a poverty rate of 8.41%.”
“The race least likely to be in poverty in Nehalem is White, with 20.48% below the poverty level. The poverty rate among those that worked full-time for the past 12 months was 3.82%. Among those working part-time, it was 0%, and for those that did not work, the poverty rate was 29.85%.”
“The average household income in Wheeler is $47,603 with a poverty rate of 15.38%.”
So, who are these people who live in poverty? I’m assuming some have families, some are older, and some are single-just like the rest of us…just like the rest of us. Hmmm.
OK, back to the information that will allow you to help with food security, not only at this time of year, but year around.
North Tillamook County Food/Clothing Bank PO Box 162, Wheeler, Oregon 97147 open every Tuesday, 12-3 Cash donations, food donations, no home canned food, and clothing donations. One year I went to Good Will and purchased clothing like what they wanted and gave to clothing bank.
Meals for Seniors, Inc. , PO Box 852, Rockaway Beach, Oregon 97136 serving meals Monday, Wednesday, & Friday, noon to 1 PM
Senior Meals in Nehalem, PO Box 156, Nehalem, Oregon 97131 Tuesday and Thursday, 11:30-12:30
Rockaway Beach Lions, PO Box 611, Rockaway Beach, Or. 97136 Lions will be donating dinners at Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Thank you one and all for helping with this project. Best, Patty
