Book for Sale

Submitted By: troop.dragonslayers@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
Local Author, Don Bell, just published his second book. A collection of 24 short stories based on true events. The Title of the new book is, “Travis Nelson”. It is an aventure story about riding the rails of freight trains, being a Wilderness Ranger, and Horse/Mule Packer in the Wind River Range, in a Wyoming National Forest. He also was a real cowboy saving a just born calf in a spring snow storm. Finally his role as a Smokejumper having bear attack problems in the Alaskan Wilderness. Bell’s first Book was a journal of a deck hand on the Yukon River.
It is a cultural visit about delivering cargo & supplies to remote Indian and Eskimoe villages and fish camps in the still wild Northland; a place with no roads, but plenty of fish wheels and high adventure. The first book is called “Barge Notes”. Both books available on Amazon.com for $11.95. You can buy them locally at Joe’s Deli in Rockaway. Sort of cool to get to know a real Jack London type living here on the coast.

For those who can be dispassionate while learning more about the Middle East conflict, here’s a well researched article:

theconversation.com/how-hatred-of-jews-became-a-common-ground-for-islamic-terrorists-and-left-wing-extremists-fueling-domestic-terrorism-278373

I believe any sort of resolution must develop in a determined atmosphere of good will and peaceful conversation, not emotionally driven anger.

Cesar Chavez legacy in jeopardy!

Submitted By: stayhuman@tutamail.com – Click to email about this post
But will Wokeland return ‘Cesar Chavez Blvd.’ to ’39th Avenue?’

What about renaming it ‘Virginia Giuffre Avenue’?

Or, my preference, ‘Senator Wyden Protects Epstein Avenue’?

And again, here is the link to an excellent anti-war film dealing with Iran.

This is an anti-war film that Ron Wyden DOES NOT want you to watch!

Please spread far and wide, the time is now. The Israeli judeo-fascists are on their heels, and all of their anti-American genocide-supporting operatives in Congress are about to have their arses handed to them during the mid-terms. Keep the pressure on the evil ones, share this film!!!!!!

Come Sweat Your Prayers, this Thursday 3/19 @ 5:30pm

“Ecstatic Dance” is an internal experience with an external expression. It asks nothing of you but to bring yourself, as is, and your intention to take a curious and loving look, internally, to see what is asking to be moved, or expressed, through your body. Where, in your body, does tension or tightness live? Where does fear live? Where does grief live? Where does confusion live? Where in your body does weakness or imbalance live? Where in your body are the walls? What about the armor? How heavy is that to carry? What can we liberate, allow to break free, in ourselves, through this practice, in service to liberation for all? Only you know. Only you can give yourself the gift of your dance.

I feel the sap rising. I feel the matriarchy rising. Whatever is, whatever comes, I want to meet it with fluidity and strength, wisdom and connection. Let’s practice together and get flowing what is asking to flow, move what is asking to move, and make room for who we are really here to be.

(Also, the music is great, the people are the best, and it is really the most joyful experience, imo.)

This Thursday, March 19, 5:30 (doors open by 5:15) at the White Clover Grange in Nehalem. Bring your favorite Goddess or female/non-binary deity to add to the altar.

This session hosted by Jamie Corvus.
$10-20 at the door. (No one turned away for lack of funds. Kids dance free.)

Dimensions are 63.5 x 63.5 x 24 inches.

Moon River Farm ISO seasonal housing for farm workers.

Submitted By: Farmers@moonriverfarmers.com – Click to email about this post
Hi folks,

We run a small vegetable farm in the area and typically hire 3-4 people a season (April-October/November) to work with us. We hire local folks and also typically have 2-3 people moving here from out of county.

I am looking for affordable options ($400-750/person) for individuals moving here. Do you want to try out having a roommate? Do you have a space where someone could camp onsite and share the kitchen/bathroom access?

Housing is the number one barrier to getting employees to our farm. We always have plenty of applicants and just need a place for them to land for the season.

Please reach out if you have any leads or questions!

As we close the curtain on our run of MISERY, I want to extend my deepest congratulations and gratitude to the incredible cast and crew who brought this intense and unforgettable story to life.

Your dedication, talent, and hard work made this production something truly special!

Thank you for giving your time and your talent so generously!

And to our wonderful community, thank you for showing up, filling the seats, and supporting local theater here in North County.

Your enthusiasm and encouragement mean everything to us and make productions like this possible.

We’re so grateful to share the stage with you and look forward to seeing you again in June for THE ODD COUPLE by Neil Simon.

Thank you to the Lower Nehalem Community Trust, the Lower Nehalem Watershed Council and Heart of Cartm for their collaboration on another bi-annual Nehalem Bay Estuary Clean Up!
And this year, Hoffman Center Clay Studio was also a collaborator. (Let’s take back that word.) Volunteers from the Clay Studio hand made LOTS of beautiful soup cups to be given to the clean up volunteers TO KEEP after they ate the delicious soup and bread provided by Wild,  Manzanita Deli and Wolf Moon.

What a lovely surprise!

Love this community!
