Netarts/Oceanside Fall Beach Cleanup
Join Friends of Netarts Bay Watershed, Estuary, Beach, and Sea (WEBS) staff and volunteers September 26th for another satisfying day cleaning up the beaches from Cape Lookout State Park to Cape Meares.
WEBS has been hosting cleanups for decades with SOLVE, an environmental non-profit that supports volunteer-led environmental stewardship throughout Oregon. Fall offers the perfect opportunity to come together as a community and restore our beaches after visitors and locals enjoyed spending summer days on our coastal shores.
“Clean up the beach with friends or family, or expand your community by teaming up with fellow volunteers. Volunteers of all ages will find the beach cleanup fun, educational, and rewarding,” shares Marina Dreeben, WEBS Stewardship Coordinator.
We will meet at the Schooner Restaurant at 12 p.m. to check in and pick up buckets, gloves and trash grabbers. If you have these supplies at home, we encourage you to bring them. Thanks to the amazing crew at The Schooner Restaurant and Lounge, all volunteers will receive a coupon for 10% off dinner on the evening of the cleanup, so be sure to stick around for a delicious, locally-sourced meal while you enjoy the rest of the afternoon of satisfying beach cleanup!
As you head out to clean up or just explore, it is important to remember that ocean shores can be dangerous. Avoid logs in the water, keep your distance from marine mammals, and never turn your back on the ocean! If you find any hazardous material, please alert a staff member.

Peaceful Protest and Food Security

Submitted By: pattyrinehart@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
Dear Friends,

Let’s give a shoutout to the 40 people who came to Nehalem to Protest this past Saturday with the North County Resistance. A great group of people talking about all sorts of things, politics, family, pets, the summer, and so on. And our coffee man and lady were there to keep us fueled with their delicious coffee.

The topic of the news today seems to center around our upcoming general elections on November 3rd. The Constitution is clear that states run elections, not the Federal Government. With the 2026 election just about 2 months away Trump is trying to interfere with this upcoming vote-although he wouldn’t admit to this. Neither will he admit that widespread voter fraud has not been proven. And now, as I’m sure you all know, we have an unnamed whistleblower report saying “if even a single ballot envelope scan in a large batch of ballots doesn’t comport with the information in the system, the US Postal Service won’t deliver the entire batch of ballots until the discrepancy has been resolved”. Talk about confusion! Trump plans on having this confusion spread to every branch of the government he can so it will take years to resolve.

“Leave no one behind” is the central pledge of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to eradicate poverty and reduce inequalities. Trump has officially rejected this for the United Nations Agenda in 2030-not too far out. I invite you to look this up.

I’m going to get back on the Food Donation thread again here. The North County Food Bank is located in Wheeler. They accept food donations during open hours, plus you’ll start to see bins and barrels around the area. Food donations are generally split with Nehalem Bay Community Services. Currently this food bank is seeing unprecedented demands. If you would like to make a donation to help, please send a check to PO Box 162, Wheeler, Oregon 97147 or donate online: www.northtillamookcountyfoodbank.org/donate. The North County Food Bank regrets that they will not be able to offer Thanksgiving dinners this year as their space is much smaller than the old one and they do not have enough storage to manage this large endeavor. Leave messages at 503-368-7724

The Nehalem Bay Community Services located at the Methodist Church in Nehalem can be reached at 503-368-4385. Nehalem Bay Community Services provides food, clothing, linens, and more. Senior Lunch are served at the Church on Tuesday and Thursdays starting at 11:30 AM. To donate to this nonprofit you can send money to NBCS, PO Box 232, Nehalem, Oregon, 97131.

Meals for Seniors, Inc. is located in Rockaway Beach at the St. Mary’s by the Sea Catholic Church. This organization serves and delivers food every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Donations to support their mission can be sent to Meals for Seniors, PO Box 852, Rockaway Beach, Oregon 97136.

Please feel free to volunteer, donate, or simply spread the word to support the mission of the above three organizations.

Thank you all for listening. See you Saturday in Nehalem, September 5th from noon to 2 PM. Looks like we might get a sprinkle or two, but not much.

Best,
Patty Rinehart

Where’s The HAUNTED HOUSES Around Here ???

Submitted By: ThomasCMoore@Comcast.net – Click to email about this post
Are there any Haunted Houses being ran in the area ??? It seems like when I was a kid around Milwaukie and Clackamas (in the 1970s) that the Jaycees or some other group always had a Haunted House and sometimes would advertise for unpaid volunteers to take part in creating the House and rooms within, as well as play the spooks within.
Is anything like that going on around here ???

Volunteers needed

Submitted By: aquietplace@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
We are in need of a few new volunteers at Nehalem Bay Food Pantry (a program of Nehalem Bay Community Services). We are the only food pantry in the county that is open 4 days a week so we are quite busy and it takes a number of folks to keep open and able to give the best service in terms of food resources and compassion. We are looking for volunteers who can commit to one 4 hour shift a week. Flexibility is possible for each person. We also are looking for a couple of people who can offer tech support and/or data entry, perhaps on your own time. Someone who can help with translations into Spanish would also be great. And a big hope is to find someone who may be interested in learning to serve as assistant manager. Big asks, I know. If you would like to hear more or visit us please contact me at the above email.
Thank you to everyone who participates in helping to make our community one of compassion and abundance.

City Council Selects Jennifer Watkins for City Manager Position

Submitted By: cityofmanzanitaoregon@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
On Friday, August 28, 2026, the Manzanita City Council voted unanimously to offer Jennifer Watkins the City Manager position, pending contract negotiations. The Council made its selection after considering four finalists. One finalist withdrew from consideration before the Council began its deliberations. The finalist evaluation process took place over four days and included receptions with City staff and community members, as well as panel interviews with community leaders, peer public administrators, City staff, and the City Council.

Mayor Kathryn Stock shared, “On behalf of the City Council of Manzanita, I am really pleased to be welcoming Jennifer Watkins to our community. We wouldn’t have been able to reach this decision without the incredible input of our community. Thank you to everyone who participated, who showed up and listened, and gave us their candid feedback.”

Jennifer Watkins expressed, “I am honored to be selected as Manzanita’s next City Manager. This is a special community defined by its extraordinary and engaged residents. I look forward to working side-by-side with the Mayor, City Council, City staff, and community members to protect what makes Manzanita unique while thoughtfully navigating our future together.”
