2026 PCP Recruitment Call to Action

Submitted By: Cpossibility1023@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
RAISE THE BAR: Your Vote is Your Voice. Your Leadership is Your Power.

Why have 30% of TCD’s (Tillamook County Democrats) PCPs not re-filed? Possibly due to dirty politics in 2024 when trust was broken. In Rockaway Beach, voters were asked to support a “Dream Team” slate card without being told the full story. When local political leaders choose “winning at any cost” over Integrity, Transparency, and Disclosure, the community loses.

What is a PCP?

A Precinct Committee Person (PCP) is the most local elected official in Oregon. They are the “Board of Directors” for the county party.

YOU vote on who the party endorses.
YOU vote on who leads the local party committees.
YOU decide the party’s platform and ethical standards.
My Goal for 2026: Total Transparency

We are seeking Democrat residents who are tired of being silenced or tired of seeing candidates with compromised histories being promoted as “respected leaders.”

Would you demand our leaders:

Disclose All: No more hidden criminal histories in child-related cases.
Vet with Integrity: Vetting must protect the community, not just the candidate.
Lead with Honesty: No more “slate card campaigns” that intentionally omit the truth.

How to Take Back Your Party:

Commit to run for PCP:The filing deadline for the 2026 Mid-terms has passed, you can still be a write-in candidate in May.
Fill the Vacancies: With 70% of precinct seats available, your voice has never been more powerful.
Vote for Integrity: Ensure the 2026 Primary reflect our true values—protecting women, children, and the sanctity of the vote.
Be more than a voter. Be the person who decides who is worth voting for.

For more information on the need in your Precinct, and/or being a write-in PCP candidate, or joining the movement for transparency, contact Constance @ cpossibility1023@gmail.com

North Oregon Coast Symphony Offers Preschool Story Time With Live Music

Submitted By: sdawagner@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
Bring your preschooler to hear a classic song come alive with this month’s North Oregon Coast Symphony’s free Musical Storytime. This program includes a hands-on musical activity. The featured story will be I Love You a Bushel and a Peck written by Frank Loesser and illustrated by Rosemary Wells. The event will feature a live viola accompaniment by NOCS musician Britton Pierce. Children will hear about two ducklings who like each other – a lot! With vibrant illustrations and a catchy song this book is sure to be a favorite for children and adults.

The second book will be Mole Music by David McPhail with beautiful illustrations. In this story, Mole hears the sweet sound of a violin. “I want to make beautiful music, too,” Mole claims. Mole practices and practices and over time has quite an impact on people around him. Afterwards preschoolers will take part in making their own music just like Mole with provided violins. The violins used in this program were purchased through a grant funded by Clatsop County Cultural Coalition and Oregon Cultural Trust. We thank both organizations for their generosity.

The program will be held at 10:30 Monday, April 6 at the North Tillamook Library in Manzanita.

The free readings for children ages 2 to 5 are planned monthly in partnership with the Astoria Library, North Tillamook Library in Manzanita, and the Seaside Library. Funding for the instruments used in this month’s outreach program come from Clatsop County Cultural Coalition and Oregon Cultural Trust. We thank both organizations for their generosity.

Seaweed Cyanotype Art Workshop
May 10, 11-2pm – Garibaldi, Oregon

Come make your own seaweed cyanotypes with us at the US Historic Coastguard Boathouse in Garibaldi! We’ll be using a collection of dried West Coast seaweeds.

A cyanotype is a photographic blueprint made through a chemical reaction between UV light and chemically coated paper. Cyanotypes have been a form of scientific documentation for seaweed, terrestrial plants, and natural specimens since they were invented in the 1700s and were actually some of the original form of photographic printing. Learn about the process and techniques to make cyanotypes using a collection of pressed seaweeds and PNW flora. Each student will get to make 4-5 prints!

Your hosts and teachers will be Sam Block, wood worker, photographer, and owner of Block Studio alongside Alanna Kieffer, marine biologist, educator, seaweed farmer, and owner of Shifting Tides (ShiftingTidesNW.com).

Archery Targets – Field Points and Broadheads

Submitted By: timirvingdc@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
$175 for all 6:

2 Bull Dog Double Dog Flat Face Archery Target 24″ x 36″ – These are great for general fieldpoint shooting especially target shooting and to do bareshaft or distance tuning. They’re heavy, and have a lifetime warraty, you can even replace the face and restuff it if needed. They have a lot of life left in them and are not shot out. New they go for $230

BLOB target: (Blue one in pic with orange dot on it):
BLOB targets are incredible for broadhead shooting, they’re made of a dense foam and last for years. This one has very little use, and the backside is pristine. They usually go for $190

SpeedTrap Field Point and Black Hornet Broadhead targets. These were my travel targets and still have a lot of life left in them.

I’d love to keep these as a set, and they’re priced accordingly. Take all 6 home for $175. I also have a Bow Press, paper tuning station with a chronograph, arrow saw, arrow spine tester, arrow squaring, and spin tool, and a whole lot more. I am consolidating my home shop, so if you need something, reach out.

Looking for a Long-Term Beach Home Rental in Manzanita

Submitted By: Amywloughridge@hotmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hello! I am newly retired and currently living in Manzanita, where I’ve been renting for the past year. I’ve truly come to love this community and would like to stay long-term as I look for my next home.
I’m a responsible and respectful tenant (and former long-term homeowner) with a solid rental history in the area. I take pride in maintaining a clean, well-kept living space and being a considerate neighbor.
Ideally, I’m looking for a comfortable, quiet, long-term rental in or near Manzanita. Here’s a bit more about what I’m hoping for:
• Long-term lease preferred
• Two bedrooms (flexible)
• Pet-friendly is a plus
• Close to town or beach access appreciated
If you or someone you know has a rental coming available, I would love to connect. I’m happy to provide references and discuss details at any time.
Thank you very much for your consideration!

NEHALEM PROTEST-APRIL 4-SATURDAY NOON TO 2

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

Do hope everyone has had a chance to re-energize after the NO KING3 event. Oh My! North Coast Resistance is living and learning just what it takes to put on such an event and how many volunteers we need. Once again, we thank all our volunteers. An event in Manzanita takes a lot more work than an event in Nehalem, but both are at the top of our list.
Speaking of Nehalem, yes, North Coast Resistance will return there on April 4th, this coming Saturday, from noon to 2 PM. Bring your smiles, your signs, sunscreen, a few layers, and any and all suggestions you might have to keep us going, protesting every Saturday.

It looks like a majority of US people oppose the war with Iran. Trump has himself in a corner with this decision he made by himself. We can only hope if he had presented this to the Senate they would have voted it down. Is the Senate learning anything from this? War is not a football game with winners and losers-everybody loses. The National News has gas priced at a little over $4 per gallon. Locally we are paying a lot more than that. And what do you think about Trump paying a visit to the Supreme Court? I’m trying to relate this to something that happens in my(our) lives. Maybe on Saturday some of you can work this out for me. I do hope to be taking public comments.

So, hope you are all well. Focus on what means most to you and know we gather to further all rights provided by the Constitution and more.

Best,
Patty

Community Expression Night at Wild in Manzanita

Submitted By: somaticwholebeing@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Expression Nights
Connecting, Experiencing, Healing Community

A community gathering where people share music, expression, and writing, cultural wisdom, ancestral knowledge

Where?
Wild in Manzanita

Date/Time:
May 29th: 5:30-7:30pm (come get some free soup and snag a seat for a 5:45pm start)

It seems important more than ever in a climate of polarity to find places and spaces as a community to connect, share, listen and be heard. Our raw forms of expression in many artistic forms allow our internal experience to come alive, be witnessed and valued.
Expression Nights is an evening of coming together to allow your form of expression to live amongst the community.

Folks are invited to contemplate, create, and present their form of expression around a selected topic.

This can be a poem, a song, a piece of writing, playing an instrument, music, cultural or ancestral knowledge etc…

The invitation is to be intentional. To connect to your own experience and be willing to share what is honest, raw, and true to you. If you would like to be a presenter (be brave! Our community needs your expression) please email
Tenisha Stock with your idea. (somaticwholebeing@gmail.com)

Those who would like to attend, there is no cost.
A presence of curiosity, reverence and respect is required.

Our first theme is Homeland

Here are some prompts to stimulate your expression.
What is Homeland to you?
Not what it isn’t or gets in the way of it, but what is your Homeland. How would you express it, connect to it, name it, what’s been handed down, your experience of knowing it.
Share with us your connection/expression/experience something unique to you.

Please contact me before hand to participate and share:
somaticwholebeing@gmail.com

Expression Nights is a gathering under an umbrella program of Fulcrum that provides a vehicle for broad expression of community and how we can enhance our lives and the lives of all our neighbors in the Nehalem Bay area. Expression is a means to collectively share and to bring alive our honest internal experience. This can be in any media—conversation, art, writing, music, movement—any way we can express our current reality in order to connect to our vision of a better world.
