A Tribute – Liberace and Liza Nov 1st at NCRD

Submitted By: pac@ncrdnehalem.org – Click to email about this post
What might have happened if Liberace and Liza Minelli had shared a stage? They didn’t, of course, but this wildly improbable and completely irresistible show imagines what it might have been like if they did. The SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE called it: “Surreal, yet oddly perfect!” Equal parts tribute, improv, and full-on fever dream, the show blends virtuosic piano playing, powerhouse vocals, and more sequins than is strictly necessary. The setlist swings rom Cabaret and Gershwin to hilarious re-imaginings of Britney Spears and Lady Gaga. NCRD PERFORMING ARTS CENTER Saturday, November 1st, 7:00 p.m. Reserved seating $30, general admission $25, available at www.tickettomato.com/event/9671.
PG-13.

Competitive improvisational comedy! This is a hilarious production in which the audience suggests all the skits and the two teams take turns improvising.
ComedySportz (Portland) is part of an award-winning national network which had produced over 5,000 shows in Portland and won three world titles. A referee calls the action and calls penalties for anything off color, so its family friendly! October 18th at the NCRD Performing Arts Center, 7:00 p.m. Reserved seating $25, general admission $20, available at www.tickettomato.com/event/9648. Thanks to all our community volunteers and sponsors who make these great shows possible!

Submitted By: lnct@nehalemtrust.org – Click to email about this post
We aren’t afraid of a little rain, but the forecast for next week is looking gorgeous! We’ve moved the date for our upcoming Headwaters Walk & Picnic Social to next Wednesday, October 8th. We hope you will still be able to join us.

Meet at 11:30AM at the South Neahkahnie Trailhead* for a walk down LNCT’s Headwater’s trail to our stewardship benches. Paper bag your lunch and enjoy a midday break outside with friends. The walk is ~2.5 miles round trip, with a gentle incline.

Note—the Headwaters trail is uneven and mildly steep in some areas. To access the Headwaters Trail, we will meet at the Neahkahnie Mountain South Trailhead parking lot and walk down from there. Plan to wear shoes with a decent tread and dress for the weather.

*To reach the South Neahkahnie Trailhead, drive north on highway 101 from Manzanita about 2 miles. Between mileposts 41 and 41, turn right on road 38555. Keep to the right up the dirt road until you reach a small parking lot and signage, about 1/2 mile.

TRASH COUTURE TAKES OVER WHEELER! COLLAGE YOUR MANNEQUIN THIS SATURDAY 10/4

Submitted By: info@heartofcartm.org – Click to email about this post
Matter Made Me: Collage Your Mannequin Art Workshop
Saturday, October 4th 4pm to 8pm
@ HeartWorks Studio | 395 Nehalem Blvd, Wheeler OR 97147

Take a blank mannequin torso, a table full of reclaimed materials, and your imagination; and turn it into a one-of-a-kind narrative sculpture. This workshop invites you to decorate, collage, and transform a salvaged mannequin, layering memory, meaning, and personal reflection. Our goal will be to use discards to spark stories about who we are, where we’ve been, and what worlds we can imagine.

Over four hours, you’ll be guided through a simple but powerful structure:

Framing the Why – We’ll begin with prompts and reflection on the role of discarded materials. What stories emerge when we build from what’s been set aside? If this mannequin could speak, what would it say about the world it comes from? Could these fragments become a personal story, a cultural memory, or a fantasy of what might be? Is this figure armor, adornment, dream, or warning?

The Build – You’ll collage, layer, and transform your mannequin with discarded fabric, sheet music, corks, buttons, wire, broken jewelry, and other salvaged materials. Facilitators will circulate with questions to help you explore: Are you rebuilding a self from rubble? Mapping a body out of memory? Giving form to a future being?

The Circle – We’ll close by sharing the figures and their stories: what they carry, what they reveal, and what surprised you along the way.

Expect costumes, shields, altars, or ghosts, or something that doesn’t yet have a name.

All materials provided.
No experience necessary—curiosity is the only skill you need.

Participants will have the option to feature and sell their finished work in a community pop-up exhibit at HeartWorks Studio following the workshop (dates TBD).

Torsos are limited!
Tickets available at www.heartofcartm.org/workshops

URGENT LOST Malmute German Sheppard

Submitted By: kmswails@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Yesterday , Saturday my family lost our dog near access 22. We were able to follow her North to the neighborhood on University, just before she headed into the thick , going toward nehalem road. We haven’t seen her since then around 2:00pm 9/27.

She looks like a wolf. She is a malamute husky mix and very sweet, not dangerous. She is very timid with people and may be reluctant to come near if you try to approach her quickly. If you make yourself seem small and kind she may come closer. She is playful outside and nervous inside.

If anyone has seen her whereabouts, please reach out and inform me.
My phone number is (206)805-9998
My moms is 206-954-8945

She is my mom’s dog, and ran away on my watch. We are really hoping to find her soon. Thank you for reading and thank you in advance for keeping an eye out.

The lost and confused dog of Pine Ridge

as of Sat 27 the brown dog has been seen by cameras confused curling up by a door and crying
We called Tillamook K9 Rescue Dispatch but the Pooch has to be contained for them to come over
this could be a garage or laundry room kennel or tied up
the community is putting water out and food
a good idea for all of us to have this dispatch number anyway. 503 815 19 11
may all the animals be loved

Looks like it’s gonna be quite the eventful and entertaining winter driving my taxi in Wokeland! Woot Woot!



Actually, this looks to me like a Drumf-marketing nothing-burger.

The Portland ICE (The agency used to be called INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service), but Dubya/Cheney/CIA changed the name to the scary/sexy ICE!!!!!!) detention facility is small and has been around and underutilized or a long time. It is on MaCadam Ave, next to a Tesla dealership. You can’t make this up. I drove by in the cab a few days ago, nothing at all was going on, and my Portland passenger didn’t even know that is where the facility was located.

So yeah, nothing-burger from Drumf.

If ICE (shivers………..!!!!!!!!) does a bunch of provocative stuff with Drumf’s CIA, maybe ‘protesters’ will show up again.

If they do, I promise I will drive my taxi down there and wave and smile to the ICE agents AND the protestors, BLASTING the song linked below!!!!!!! Because if you’re not having fun, what’s the point???

And just like Charlie Kirk who was realizing we are all one, and just like Malcom who was realizing that we are all one, I will attempt to bridge the divide!

Me…..and Vanilla Ice. Baby.

Found this sweet girl wandering lost & confused around Necarney City Road between the Shell station & the cemetery. I was able to get her in my car & took her to my vet to check her microchip. My Vet staff have been trying to contact the number on the microchip; however, no one has responded to their messages. If anyone knows who she belongs to, please contact Cheryl Lund. Thank you.

Reply to Political Nonsense

This is a reply to www.northcoastbbq.com/2025/09/27/political-nonsense/

Free speech is fundamental to who we are as a people and a nation. So as administrator of the BBQ, I won’t be blocking any poster, unless they consistently submit posts that contain hate speech of any kind, personal attacks or foul language. I do monitor individual opinion pieces and very occasionally refuse to post, or send back to the poster, items that include any of the above.

It’s not only free speech that is fundamental. Other things I believe are vital are
respect the right of others to think differently than I do
being open to new ideas
allowing nuance and discourse for possible understanding and change
taking deep breaths when my emotions about what others are saying and or doing become big so I don’t just react
not giving up my stance of love
not believing everything I think

Our country is extremely polarized right now and violence against others who are different for whatever reason has sadly become acceptable to some. Somehow, we have to change that dynamic. I am not sure how to do that. I do believe aspiring to the ideas above could help.

I certainly don’t agree with every post on the bbq. And I just ignore them (after checking for no-nos listed above). Even though some of the bbq posts are extreme in my opinion and the responses back and forth don’t seem to lead to understanding, allowing people to express themselves on the bbq is still a fundamental right.

Perhaps we all could step away from our staunch beliefs occasionally and look around to what else is out there.
