One of a kind art

I bought this one of a kind image awhile back bc I loved the idea. It’s beautiful but it’s really just not my style.

It’s macro photography… the artist, Ethan Beckler, only makes 1 print of most of his images.
His business is called 1of1 Images. (You can find him on FB!)

The ‘window’ at the bottom displays the two grains of sand that are actually photographed! Only a mm in diameter! One is a garnet

This matted and ready to frame piece is 16×20”
Price $190 (what I paid for it)

Please email if interested 🙂

Run For Office in Tillamook County. 1 more day to file!

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: moovoter@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hey MooVoters!

We have some races!! And lots of candidates, but there’s plenty of room for others to file. What there isn’t much of, is time. Tomorrow, March 20th, 2025 is the filing deadline.

See who has filed so far: www.tillamookcounty.gov/sites/default/files/fileattachments/clerk039s_office/page/69486/notice_of_measure_election_-filed_candidates.pdf
To run for a seat you must be registered to vote and live in the district for the seat you’re pursuing. Some districts are further separated by zones. If a seat lists a zone, you must live within the zone of the district to run for that seat. However, all of the voters in that district will be voting for all of the available seats. If a seat is listed as “position” than you are eligible to file for any of those positions. If you’re confused about what seat you might be eligible for, the friendly folks at the county clerk’s office will help you figure it out.
Although all of these positions are non-partisan, you’re encouraged to seek assistance in your campaign from your party or other organizations. But remember an endorsement from a party doesn’t mean the candidate represents the party, it means the party likes what the candidate represents.

Smears, Sadism and Social Security – Why Elon Musk wants to make seniors suffer

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: genedieken@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
Here’s a link to Paul Krugman’s latest Substack column on the fate of Social Security and SSDI for the disabled and why Elon Musk seems obsessed about destroying it.

paulkrugman.substack.com/p/smears-sadism-and-social-security

Here’s the TLDR if you don’t have the time read the whole thing:

“Social Security has become to Musk what Canada has become to Donald Trump. Both men at one point said something stupid, something that would have turned them into laughingstocks if there weren’t so much fear in the air. But both men have been unable to let go, doubling down in what amounts to an attempt to redeem their initial foolishness.”

A reader’s comment:
“As someone who receives SSDI every month, I now hold my breath on the second Wednesday of every month, checking to see that the money has been deposited.”

White Clover Grange grafting workshop

White Clover Grange hosts apple tree grafting workshop

On April 5 from 1pm to 4 pm, the Grange will host a grafting workshop that is free and open to the public.

We will feature heritage apple varieties that will be grafted on to semi-dwarf disease resistant root stock.

The art of grafting is an old one. Since apple trees do not reproduce the same variety from their seeds, farmers and horticulturalists take scion wood (a young branch from an existing tree) and attached it to a similar sized branch that has roots. The two branches are matched for size and then taped together. If done well, the two parts will fuse and a new tree will grow. The scion wood is responsible for the type of apple, while the root stock controls characteristics such as the height of the tree, vigor, and disease resistance.

Materials will be provided. However, if you would like to bring scion wood from your own trees, it is best to collect young branches about the size of a pencil as soon as possible, while the trees are still dormant, and place in a bag in the refrigerator until the workshop.

To sign up for the workshop or for more information, contact Jennifer Childress at 503-801-4078.

Cape Lookout Stewardship Day offers opportunities to give back and work to maintain our natural areas and restore healthy coastal landscapes.
Every year, WEBS partners with Cape Lookout State Park to offer opportunities to give back, maintain our natural areas, and restore healthy coastal landscapes. Our efforts to remove ivy and establish new native plants have made a huge impact in the park over the last few years.

This year, we will continue our efforts with ivy removal and native plant maintenance, AND we will be creating a new native pollinator garden in the day use area. Join park staff along with WEBS volunteers on Thursday, April 3rd, to prepare the bed for this new garden. “Events like this not only offer an opportunity to give back, participants can connect with others in the community, enjoy a day outdoors and hear about the successes and challenges for maintaining the health of Cape Lookout State Park” shares Marina Dreeben, WEBS Stewardship Coordinator. She goes on to say, “and keep an eye out for more Stewardship Days this Spring!”

Activities are designed to accommodate a variety of skill levels. Families are welcome.

What to Bring:
Water bottle and snacks
Long pants and sturdy boots
Rain gear and layers to stay warm and comfortable working on the Oregon Coast
Work gloves, hand pruners, shovels, and trowels if you have them! (WEBS will also provide tools)

Truck canopy (fits ’98 Tacoma) make offer! (Also yard work)

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: Padraic@xyyd.org – Click to email about this post
As the title would lead you to believe, I am trying to find a new home for a truck canopy that was previously atop my ’98 Tacoma. It needs a bit of repair, and the lock doesn’t seem to work. I am not sure what it is worth but I believe the value to be greater than zero. Make me an offer and get it out of here, I live in scenic central Nehalem.
Unrelated, but I am also available for all kinds of outdoor/yard work and am known for doing that sort of thing locally. See previous ads for details.

Spring Renewal Shamanic Breathwork

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: sbwceremonies@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
The Winter has done its job of giving us dark days to go within, to reflect and to dream. What a blessing it is to have seasons to remind us of the rhythms of life!

And now we are on the cusp of Spring!

We will celebrate the closing of the Winter session Shamanic Breathwork on the Spring Equinox, March 20th!

REGISTER HERE: events.humanitix.com/shamanic-breathwork-journeys

THURSDAY, MARCH 20TH
6-8PM
ST. CATHERINE’S SANCTUARY
NEHALEM

This time of symmetry — equal light and dark — may help us remember that both aspects together create wholeness. We may reflect upon the light, the dark, no difference — that each is an opportunity to embrace and express the divinity within.

As we shake off the Hibernation of the Winter and step into the Renewal of Spring, we can ask ourselves questions to stir our innermost longings.

What does a new season mean personally and collectively?

In what ways might we shed old and habitual ways of being to embrace something new?

What might a new world —internal and external — look like?
