Join Trailkeepers of Oregon December 8th for a trail party! As winter and wet weather settle into the Oregon North Coast, help TKO brush back some of the persistent and evergreen vegetation encroaching on the beautiful Neah-Kah-Nie trail. We will work at a gentle pace and work our way up the trail, brushing as we go. If we’re lucky enough for clear views we can take some time for lunch near the summit. All tools will be provided, we just need you!

“Come with your heart
Come while you heal and fall apart
Come with your pockets emptied
on the table of time”

St. Catherines Episcopal Church on Hwy 101

“Joy doesn’t replace any emotion; it holds them all and keeps any one of them from swallowing us whole. Society has failed to understand this. When it tells us to find joy in suffering it is telling us to let it go, move on, to smile through it. But joy says, Hold on to your sorrow. It can rest safely here.” (Cole Arthur Riley from This Here Flesh)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Kathryn Claire’s Winter Songs December 6th | 5pm (Doors at 4:30pm) Tickets – $20/$10 – Reservations HERE White Clover Grange, Nehalem, OR
Winter Songs is a show inspired by the season with music to honor the shortest days and longest nights. Weaving together songs, poetry, instrumentals, traditional and original music and a few covers, Kathryn Claire invites the audience to join together in celebration of the season and to bring light to the darkness. Kathryn Claire has been doing a seasonal winter show since 2013 working with a variety of artists. In 2018, Don Henson joined her for Winter Songs on piano and percussion before incorporating Sid Ditson on violin and viola in 2019. The blend of this trio is stunning and their energy together is joyful and heartfelt. Kathryn, Sid and Don reunited in 2022 and released an EP featuring music Kathryn wrote specifically for the show along with a single “Dark of December”. The trio is thrilled to be returning to the White Clover Grange for their 3rd year of this show.
With her violin and voice at the center of her music, Kathryn Claire weaves together stories and melodies rooted in her classical and traditional musical background while infusing each song and composition with an energy and electricity that is palpable. Her musicality and joy on stage is infectious. Honest and poetic writing, crystalline vocals, impassioned violin compositions, and an ability to move seamlessly across genres, are the hallmark of Kathryn Claire’s original and diverse sound.
Don Henson has toured extensively with Kathryn Claire in the Pacific Northwest and played with her “Winter Songs” show since 2018. Don works frequently with Will West and Skip Vonkuske in Portland, OR. His band, ‘Sneakin Out’ has played various stages with Pink Martini, on The Tonight Show (With Jay Leno) and had the honor of playing Carnegie Hall.
Sid Ditson has toured with Kathryn in Belgium and the Netherlands and has been an integral part of Kathryn’s music over the past decade. Sid has been playing violin since childhood. He loves to explore the sometimes irreverent blend of fiddle and violin styles, and brings to the stage and studio a versatility with the instrument that is truly unique. Classical, indie, bluegrass, Celtic and improv are all a part of Sid’s palette, along with an exquisite tone and depth of expression. Sid is often caught grinning while playing, finding it impossible to hide the immense joy that music brings.

The North Oregon Coast Symphony, Tillamook County Library, and Astoria Public Library have partnered to bring live music and hands-on instrument experiences to local preschool children through stories. The first events will be Monday, December 2nd at 10 AM at the Manzanita Library, and Tuesday, December 3rd at 10 AM at the Charlene Larsen Center for the Performing Arts. Through an enchanting read-aloud text and beautiful artwork, a thrilling and fantastical story of a farmer, a gentle old lady, a dancing dog, and one brave, tiny duckling will warm the heart. NOCS musicians Samantha Kushnick (cello) and Shannon Steele (violin) will accompany the reading of the story. Children will learn more about stringed instruments as the musicians provide demonstrations. Child-sized instruments will be available to examine and play after the story.

This event is free and open to children aged 3-5 and their adults. North Oregon Coast Symphony, a non-profit orchestra, brings together musicians from the north Oregon and south Washington coast to perform classical music for local audiences. For more information, please visit NOCS website nocsymphony.org.

WEDNESDAY NOV 20TH @ 6PM:
Please attend the Public Hearing of the Appeal against the proposed Nedonna Wave Planned Unit Development PUD-24. North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection is encouraging everyone to submit either oral or written testimony expressing opposition to PUD-24. The Public Hearing will occur at Rockaway Beach City Hall, 276 Hwy 101, Rockaway Beach, Oregon. Click here for Agenda and to attend by zoom: corb.us/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/City-Council-Special-Meeting-Agenda-2024-11-20.pdf
Why is this important?
The Nedonna Marsh is an intact remnant of the original native coast. Within this wild area is a native saltwater marsh, spruce/willow wetlands, and a dune area with many native plants. Coyotes, river otters, beavers, deer, and other wildlife call this area home. Migratory birds use it to rest and refuel. Two streams, Jetty Creek and McMillan Creek, flow through this estuary and into the Nehalem River. The marsh is currently under threat. It is privately owned and part of it is in immediate danger of being developed. If this happens, Oregon will lose this special place forever. We need to stand together and do what we can to protect it.
In July 2024, the Rockaway Beach Planning Commission approved the Nedonna Wave Development, which would allow for a new housing subdivision within the Nedonna Marsh. In response to this approval, the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition has submitted an appeal to the Rockaway Beach City Council. Oregon Shores is being represented by the Crag Law Center. To support their efforts, North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection (NCCWP) is starting a letter-writing campaign. We are encouraging everyone to send in comments and letters supporting this appeal. We also think it would be helpful to email the City Council members and express our strong opposition to the proposed construction of homes in the wetland area, as we believe it is unconscionable.
Oral public testimony will be heard at the meeting. If you are in person, you can sign up to speak at the beginning of the meeting. If you are attending virtually by zoom, use the raised hand icon to signal that you would like to say something.
Thank you!
