good old reliable truck

This 4×2 truck surprised us with how nice and comfortable it drives, but we are small car people and even a Ranger feels too big. Previous owner had a parking lot incident leaving a broad shallow dent on passenger side of the bed only affecting the skin. Very reliable and going strong. Serviced regularly at Evergreen.

United Paws’ Cat of the Week: Meet Phantom

Submitted By: Website@unitedpaws.org – Click to email about this post
Meet Phantom, United Paws’ Cat of the Week. It has been an incredible story for this sweet kitty who was found with his siblings and another litter of abandoned kittens in a remote area of Tillamook County. Instead of growing up wild, fearful and feral, this handsome charmer was rescued by United Paws and is described by his foster as “the perfect gentleman.”

Phantom has a sweet disposition and gets along well with his foster mates. He is smart, curious and playful, but easily entertains himself with any sort of fuzzy ball or tunnel. He loves to perch up high on a cat tree, watching birds and sunbathing while surveying his kingdom. Not one to miss a game, however, Phantom is always ready to come down for a romp with a wand toy.

He is a good eater and especially loves wet food. Phantom’s forever home could include other cats and perhaps a gentle dog, but he would really thrive in a home where he could get lots of pets, playtime, and loving attention. If you need an all-around good kitty who is mild-mannered and sweet…Phantom will be your forever companion.

Manzanita Farmers Market Week 15: Friday 4 to 7

Submitted By: info@manzanitafarmersmarket.com – Click to email about this post
Market time again! Friday 4-7 as always. I know you don’t have enough to do this time of year already, but this is a great time to think about preserving the season’s bounty! Harvests are at their peak, and it’s a great time to stock up on the summer goodness to help last through the winter. Here’s some ideas for ways to preserve the market bounty:

..Berries and tomatoes freeze like a breeze: just put them in a bag and you’re done!
..Stone fruit and peppers also freeze easily with just a bit more prep, usually you want to take out the pits or seeds and cut them up a bit, but they hold up great
..Make jam! Berries, peaches, tomatoes, you name it…
..Make pickles or relish: fermented, vinegar, canned, or just refrigerator pickles. We have a new farmer coming this week who specializes in melons, but he’ll also be stocked up on pickling cucumbers and dill. Find him at Plum Tummy Gardens!
..Freeze pesto, or any herb ground up in oil
..Dry fruit, tomatoes, herbs, or make kale chips
..Can pickles, tomatoes, sauces, salsas, jams, and more
..Load up the freezer with meat from Lance’s Farm Vittles or Sunbeam Farm

What’s your favorite way to preserve? You can always come talk to us, give us feedback, or share concerns about the market at the market info booth, just inside the entrance. Come say hello! You can buy a tote bag or 2026 market poster while you’re there and support our SNAP match program.

Music this week is by Joshua Cox, folk rooted and acoustic driven. See you Friday, 4-7, at 635 Manzanita Ave behind City Hall!

About the musician:
Born in Virginia, and inspired by his southern black heritage, Tevis Hodge began playing blues at the age of 12 years old, though he first started guitar at the age of six. With a deep love for Black American music, Tevis is compelled to bring the traditions of his heritage to life.
Well versed in multiple blues idioms such as the Piedmont, Delta, Texas, urban and country blues styles, He also dips into jazz, jug band, folk and even old timey novelty tunes. Tevis Hodge Jr’s repertoire is an eclectic mix while his performance oozes with originality and passion. Adding his own flare to the songs he covers, he seamlessly presents originals that can mingle with the classics and stay true to the source.
At the age of 13 Tevis started to gravitate to performing at school events, open mics, and on the street. With a considerable amount of experience for his age, Tevis has enjoyed a career opening for acts ranging from Robert Cray to Living Colour, and performing onstage with such acts as Peter Yarrow (of Peter, Paul & Mary,) vaudeville legend Baby Gramps, “Boogie-Cat” Norman Sylvester, guitar virtuoso Mary Flower and soul extraordinaire Ural Thomas to name a few. Tevis is a 4x Muddy Award recipient (2023,2024) and has had great reception at festivals, fairs, markets, clubs, vineyards and venues alike.

WOODWORKERS THANK YOU

Submitted By: Ospreyzingaro@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
A giant thank you to all the local woodworkers! I really appreciate your help in spreading the word regarding the clearing out of my husband’s wood shop. I was able to sell a lot of big tools. I’m planning to have a big garage sale over Labor Day weekend to sell his smaller power and hand tools and so much more. Besides being a cabinet maker he was a jack of all trades and collected all the tools and supplies one could possibly need to fix anything. I’m down to just a few larger tools which I’d like to sell before the garage sale; a drill press, oscillating spindle sander, mortising machine and wet grinder. These tools were lightly used.
Please get in touch if you’re interested in coming by to see any of these.
Thanks again guys, you are amazing.

Community Centered Death Care A Lived Experience

Submitted By: margo@northcoasteolcollective.com – Click to email about this post
September 15, 2026, 6 – 7 PM (Zoom)

Community-Centered Death Care: A Lived Experience
Presenters: Kevin Shukla, Jim Emmerson, and Gale Ousele

Join the North Coast EOL Collective for a virtual conversation about one family’s experience caring for a loved one through the end of life and beyond: the support in her final months, care for her body after her passing, a home burial, and continued care for her living legacy.

Kevin Shukla, a resident of Hebo and frequent participant in the North Coast EOL Collective offerings and the Coastal Community Death Care Series, will be joined by Jim Emmerson and Gale Ousele; friends, neighbors, and co-facilitators in one peaceful passing. Together, they will reflect on their experience throughout the entire continuum of home death care.

Rather than a “how-to” presentation, this offering will provide an opportunity to learn through lived experience. Their story invites us to consider what is possible when families, friends, and communities reclaim meaningful roles in caring for one another through death, burial, remembrance, and stewardship.

As always, there will be time for conversation and questions.

This offering reflects the North Coast EOL Collective’s belief that learning about death and dying happens not only through education, but through listening to one another’s stories, strengthening community wisdom, and creating A Collective Approach to Death and Dying.
