POLAR PLUNGE 2026

The annual Polar Plunge is back!
New Year’s Day at 11:00 AM at Neahkahnie Beach
HOWEVER: This year, conditions are a bit different, so please read the following carefully.

Important Information for your safety:

KING TIDES: Water level is expected to reach 9.6 ft at plunge time. Please be aware!

BEACH TERRAIN: There will be logs and debris along the shore and floating in the water as the waves come in!

BONFIRE: No beach fire will be available this year, as any areas are too close to dune grass.

ACESS: Entry will most likely be from the road, as usable beach space may be limited.

Safety Reminder:
Participation carries inherent risks. Please take personal responsibility for your safety and of those around you!
Despite these precautions, the plunge is a fun and invigorating way to kick off the New Year! Come prepared, stay safe, and enjoy the experience.

“I’m sharing this out of concern to help keep everyone safe.”
P.S. YOU MAY WANT TO WAIT AND DO IT LATER IN THE DAY, IT WILL STILL COUNT 🙂

Be well,

United Paws’ Cats of the Week: Meet Ivy & Foxy

Submitted By: website@unitedpaws.org – Click to email about this post
Meet Ivy & Foxy, United Paws’ Cats of the Week. These calico beauties were abandoned when their guardian moved. A neighbor fed them as outside cats, and reached out for help. United Paws quickly stepped in to house and feed these lovely cats.

Both gals are extremely outgoing, people-oriented kitties that adore attention, being pet, etc. Both will be wonderful companions for someone, but they may need to be the only cat in the household. The fosters are still evaluating this and more could be learned by a “Meet & Greet” on an individual basis.

Ivy has polydactyl front feet and likes to talk with you. Foxy is extremely playful and can’t get enough of the kitten toys!

To learn more or schedule a “Meet & Greet”, please email us at unitedpawshelp@gmail.com. You can complete an adoption application at unitedpaws.org.

PROTEST in Nehalem

Submitted By: pattyrinehart@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
Please join North County Resistance Group on Saturday, December 27, from noon to 2 PM, in Nehalem to PROTEST what is being done at the Federal Level of our United States Government. This will be our last meeting for 2025, and it is important to close out the year with as many people as we can. No matter you are there in person, no matter you are there for the full two hours, just join us in any way you can. Get in your car and drive by our group. Give us a thumbs up or a honk on the horn to let us know you too are not happy with what is going on. Write a letter during this time to our legislators and tell them how you feel. Our government is paying a great deal of attention to the very rich-and pulling programs for the middle class and under. Don’t let this happen! Yes, our group will be PROTESTING in the coming year-we are not giving up. And don’t you give up! Bring your friends and neighbors to help us with our mission of having our government be by the people and for the people. Please dress in layers, warm clothes, hats, gloves, and whatever you have to keep you warm.

See you tomorrow and don’t give up!
Best,
Patty

End of 2025 Threshold Dance

We’ve just passed the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year. Come dance the energy of crossing a threshold. We are nearing the end of the Year of the Snake (Chinese astrology). Come dance the energy of a snake shedding its skin. We are nearing the end of a “9” year (Numerology 2+0+2+5) -known as a year of completion. Come dance the energy of going through a portal. What wants to, needs to, demands to, be left behind? The energy of endings, of walking through doorways that you can no longer return through, of karmic closure, of releasing, of sloughing off, of moving forward into your truest self and your truest purpose is everywhere right now. I am feeling this SO INTENSELY. You? Let us come together and help move it along. Let’s find what is stuck or numb or congealed in our bodies and loosen it, return it to flow and let it go. We are right on time.

Playlist by Jamie
See you on Sunday 12/28 at 11am at the White Cover Grange. Doors open at 10:30.
$10 donation- No one turned away for lack of funds. Kids dance free.

Ecstatic dance is a somatic movement practice for collective liberation. Bring something for the altar if you feel called to.

North County Resistance-Last of 2025!

End of Year Protest in Nehalem

Make your voice heard in 2025!

PROTEST in Nehalem
Mark your calendars for Saturday, December 27, 2025. On this day, a protest will take place in downtown Nehalem from noon to 2 PM. Residents and concerned citizens are invited to participate and make their voices heard.

Call to Action

The North County Resistance is organizing this event, urging community members to join together and speak out. The demonstration is in response to ongoing projects and policies promoted by President Trump, which have seen rising opposition among Americans. Many feel that as these new initiatives progress, valuable programs and individuals deserving recognition are being overlooked.

Legislative Inaction

Despite increasing public dissent regarding President Trump’s policies, these measures continue to advance. One major reason for this persistence is the lack of decisive action from legislators in both major political parties—Democrats and Republicans. Their reluctance to take a firm stand has contributed to the continuation of these policies. This situation highlights the importance of citizen involvement and the need to demand accountability from elected officials.

Reasons for Protest

The protests in Nehalem serve as a call for legislative courage—urging lawmakers to stand up and speak out, just as demonstrators are doing. Concerns include the presence of ICE, which is described as cruel and unwelcome both in Oregon and throughout the United States. Additional issues raised by organizers include opposition to foreign interventions, such as proposed actions in Venezuela and Greenland, and the belief that resources should be focused on addressing domestic challenges. These challenges include cuts to educational programs, food insecurity, homelessness, and the lack of affordable health care. The protest seeks to draw attention to these issues and advocates for meaningful change.

Bring your neighbors, your company, your families of all ages to join us on Saturday. Come for the full two hours or for as long as you can. Churches, civic groups, arts organizations, architects, attorneys, car technicians, bakers, banks, bars, beauty salons, bed & breakfasts, building trades, book store employees, lumber companies, restaurants, vacation rentals, relators, thrift shops, carpet cleaners, telephone companies, grocery store workers, tax preparers, surveyors, storage companies, service station attendees, school teachers, mental health providers, roofing contractors, restaurant workers, post office employees, bus drivers, pizza makers, physicians and surgeons, retirees…you get the message. If it hasn’t already happened, Trump and his gang will be in your pocket very soon and you’re not going to like it!
Long underwear and several layers of clothing is suggested. A hat and gloves will provide more comfort. Bundle up as we want to see you out there again in 2026! Thanks to everyone who has participated. We need to show we are not giving up! Don’t give up!
Thank you, Barbara and BBQ!
Thanks,
Patty
