The Nehalem Valley Historical Society will be host to Mark Beach this Saturday from 1:00-4:00. Mark is our local historian and the author of “Logging Oregon’s Coastal Forests”. The book will be available and Mark can answer your questions about the book and other topics of local history. Mark’s knowledge is vast. He is also the author of “Manzanita, Nehalem and Wheeler.” NVHS is still experiencing difficulties with the card reader so all sales will be in cash. The book is $25. If you saw the video and didn’t get the book or Mark’s signature, this is your opportunity.

In his memoir, “Fifteen Seasons,” author Terry Evers dedicates the book to his father, “who took an enormous leap of faith that swept us away from the ordinary and opened the floodgates to the unimaginable.”
And so the adventure begins, when Bruce Evers, a textbook salesman in Salem, Oregon, buys a commercial dory boat and takes his 13-year-old son, Terry, out on the Pacific Ocean for a summer salmon fishing season. It’s the first of 15 seasons, when they learn that it takes more than a boat and fishing gear to become successful fishermen.
Terry Evers will recall those memories when he speaks at the Cannon Beach Library at 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 11. The visit is sponsored by the library’s NW Authors Series Committee.
This is a free, hybrid event; attend in person at the library or watch online via the library’s website, cannonbeachlibrary.org.
When his dad invited Terry to fish with him the summer prior to Terry’s high school freshman year in 1977, the boy jumped at the chance.
“Little did I know that it would open the door to otherworldly adventures and forge a unique relationship with my father that would run deeper than I ever imagined,” Evers writes.
That initial trip launched them into experiences involving harrowing Pacific Coast storms, battles with giant king salmon and challenging fish runs that kept them either constantly working when the catch was great or bored when the catch dwindled.
Throughout their 15 dory seasons on the central Oregon coast, they met a variety of fishermen and developed a love of the fishing culture from 1977 to 1992.
“Fifteen Seasons” was featured in several newspapers, publications, and podcasts. Stories about the book appeared National Fisherman Magazine, Pacific Fishing Magazine, the Outdoor GPS television show, Oregon Coast Magazine, and the Partners of Commercial Fishermen podcast.
Evers has spent the past 33 years in education; he is a STEM teacher (science, technology, engineering, math) for elementary students.
With his dory long gone, Evers now explores Oregon and Washington rivers, lakes and bays in his Pygmy kayak.
He and his wife, D’Ann, live in Keizer, Oregon. They have two grown daughters and two granddaughters.

Have you been curious about hypnosis? Hypnosis is simply getting you into a relaxed state and turning off your thinking mind and tapping into your subconscious mind. If you have ever found yourself driving to a location that was not where you were headed or found yourself zoning out while watching a movie you were in a hypnotic state.
In this workshop you will learn how to put yourself in a hypnotic state. This can help you navigate things that you may feel anxious about such as medical or doctor procedures or appointments and to release fears.
It will be held Friday December 1st from 2:00-3:30 at Yoga Roots Studio. 298 Laneda #5 and the cost is $150. Space is limited so please call Gia at 503-270-0940 if you have any questions or would like to attend.

Did you know that hanging a wreath on your door is a tradition going back over three thousand years?

Traditionally wreaths were hung on the door as protection for the home and to bring blessings on all who live there.

Making your own wreath lets you tap into this folk tradition and bring some added magic to your holiday home this year.

Sunday, November 19th 11-2pm

North Fork 53 and River City Flowers are hosting a 3-hour wreath making class to teach you how to build your own magic wreath from scratch.

Select from a large variety of fresh and dried greens, herbs, berries, seeds, cones, branches and other natural elements – many locally-grown and foraged.

You’ll be encouraged to explore the texture, color, scent, and shape of the materials provided as you design your wreath, and learn which popular materials can be found or foraged around our coastal villages.

We provide all the tools you need, including a wire wreath frame, floral wire, decorative ribbon and cutting tools.

Whether it’s whimsical, big and bold, tailored, or minimalist – join us and take home a wreath that is your very own work of art.

Students are welcome to bring a selection of foraged materials, favorite ribbon, tokens of protection and love etc, to make your wreath even more personalized and unique.

Start a new tradition of magical wreath making for your home!

$95 for wreath making workshop only

$129 for workshop with wood fired sauna, tea and snacks added on.

Only 12 spaces available.

This week we will fuse Ecstatic Dance and Contemplative Dance Practice forms into a blend of free form movement and improvisational dance scores. ***Led by Reeva***We will begin with an Ecstatic Dance music playlist focused on compassion. This playlist will transition into a brief contemplative practice with gentle, guiding music where we will be invited to explore sitting, lying down, walking/moving meditation that will then open the space for “Red Square Practice”. In this practice a thick red rope is laid down on the floor, our gaze rests with the room and the Square. Nothing much is happening. Just waiting. Then something comes. “Like a fish leaping from water,” we see in our minds eye a glimpse of our self in a still posture in the Square. We rise up, walk into the Square, and inhabit what we see. This form builds into duet and trio and group compositions. We will end with an ecstatic dance music playlist dancing in and out of the Red Square.

Hope to see you in the dance space!

Hello Friends,
Our next gathering will be Monday, Nov. 13th, 2-4pm, $5 Admission

We’ll hold a discussion about one of the most popular topics selected by the group who attended in October: A Conversation About Finding Our Passions and Living our Best Possible Lives.

We’ll offer a few questions to ponder:
How can you redefine playfulness as you age?
What brings you feelings of contentment? Peace? Happiness? What lights you up? What fulfills you?
When do you most feel a sense of well being?
What in your life helps you feel a sense of wonder, or most alive?
Do you have daily, weekly or annual rituals, habits or practices that improve the quality of your life?
Recall memories of things you loved doing as a kid. How did those activities make you feel? How can we recreate those same feelings at this time in our lives?

Please bring paper and pen for a brief writing exercise.

Topics for Future Sessions:

December 11 — Traversing the Edge Between Doing and Being and Finding Meaning and Happiness Despite Physical Limitations
We will offer questions for this conversation before the December program.

January 8 — Creating a Compassionate Community

The Conscious Aging and Community Connections Program is sponsored by Pine Grove Community House so we can keep admission at $5.
All money received goes to Pine Grove.

Hope to see you November 13th!

Hope Montgomery & The Invasive Species and Katelyn Convery

The Bay City Arts Center is thrilled to announce a special evening of live music on Saturday, November 4th, at 7:00 PM. This event will celebrate the release of Hope Montgomery’s new album, “Lose Your Cool,” and features an opening performance by Katelyn Convery.

Hope Montgomery & The Invasive Species, a local indie pop quartet, will take the stage, led by the mesmerizing Hope Montgomery herself, with Charlie Wooldridge on lead guitar, Geoff Fielder on bass, and Levi Timm on drums. Their music delves into sonic explorations of complex emotional turbulence, complimented by catchy melodic phrasing that you’ll want to get up and dance to.

Katelyn Convery’s latest album Miles Awake boasts polished lyrics and sophisticated soundscapes, backed by a group of distinguished musicians and co-produced with bandmate and collaborator Timothy Karplus. Bittersweet angst and optimism weave through Katelyn Convery’s music, piercing the frontier of modern alt-rock, and harkening back to the edgy era of 90s NW grunge, with textures characteristic of early 2000s indie-pop. Born and raised in Oregon, Katelyn now splits time between Portland and the Oregon Coast.

Event Details:

Time: 7:00 PM
Venue: Bay City Arts Center
Address: 5680 A St, Bay City, OR 97107
