United Paws’ Kittens of the Week: Ranger & Hazel

Submitted By: website@unitedpaws.org – Click to email about this post
Meet Ranger & Hazel, United Paws’ Kittens of the Week. Life started out in a rough and scary way for this pair. Ranger and his sister, Hazel, were found sick and abandoned at the local transfer station. Both were in terrible shape. Happily, they were rescued by United Paws and given the medical care they needed. They are now thriving in a foster home where they receive lots of love, attention, and good food. Each is now ready to settle down with in a forever home.

Like any healthy and fun loving kitten, Ranger loves to play, wrestle, chase, climb, and explore his world and everything in it. He especially loves climbing cat trees and playing in tunnels. He has lots of fun batting around foil balls and chasing laser lights. He has always been a bit shy at first – standing behind the bold personality of his sister, Hazel. Once he feels safe and relaxed, his sweet and loving personality really shines.

Hazel is easy going, curious, loving, and very playful. She loves to play, wrestle, chase, climb and explore everyone and everything. She wants to be where the action is!! Every new object is a toy waiting to be discovered and played with. She especially loves chasing laser lights, burrowing in tunnels, and climbing up trees and perches. She wants to be where the action is! Hazel’s foster describes her as “loving life” and is “the perfect kitten in every way.” When she has exhausted herself playing, Hazel loves to be held or to sit and snuggle – content to be with her human.

Hazel and Ranger are two snuggly peas in a pod and would love to be in a home with other playmates or adopted together. If either is the only kitten in the household, her new family should provide a lot of interaction and playtime. Do you think these kittens could steal your heart? Visit unitedpaws.org to see more photos and videos, and email unitedpawshelp@gmail.com to schedule a Meet & Greet. Add some cuddles and playtime to life!

Fahrenheit 451 at Neahkahnie High School tonight and tomorrow night

Submitted By: vivi@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
Last night I had the pleasure of attending “Fahrenheit 451” presented by the Pirate Players at Neahkahnie High School, a play based on Ray Bradbury’s dystopian novel. The students did an incredible job, acted with skill and verve, delivered long monologues, and accomplished the many lighting and set changes.
I first read “Fahrenheit 451” for my high school English class, over 60 years ago. The theme of censoring books and substituting state programmed television struck a chord then, and it continues to be relevant today. These students did an impressive job of engaging with this thought provoking material.

Two more nights to see the show—7pm this Friday and Saturday. $5 for a ticket. Upstairs in the High School gym.
Park in the back of the school as entrance to the play is by the back door.

Don’t miss it!

News from the Nehalem Bay Health District

Update on Water Damage at Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy

This is an update for the community regarding an internal water line connection failure this week at the Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy in Wheeler.

Sometime late Monday or early Tuesday – May 11 or 12 – a water line connection in a ceiling area failed and a significant amount of clean water spread throughout the first floor of the facility. Health Center staff discovered the situation as they arrived to open the building early Tuesday morning. Nehalem Bay Fire and Rescue personnel responded quickly, as did Wheeler Public Works and water and power in the building was turned off.

Staff members quickly took up brooms and squeegees to direct water outside the building. There were no injuries and minimal damage to equipment and furnishings.

By late morning Tuesday water had been substantially moved out of the building and Servpro, a firm specializing in cleanup of such events, was onsite to begin efforts to dry the areas where water had penetrated baseboards or drywall. By Wednesday nearly all affected vinyl baseboards had been removed in order to facilitate drying that is being accomplished with dehumidifying equipment. Repairs to baseboard and sheetrock will begin when drying is complete, likely by the weekend.

The Health Center was able to operate the pharmacy and dental departments on Wednesday and those services are ongoing. It is hoped that full Health Center services will resume next week.

Health District president Marc C. Johnson said of the incident:

“While the Health District certainly regrets this unfortunate event we want to applaud the extremely quick and effective response from all who helped get water quickly out of the building. The quick response clearly minimized damage.

“Having said that no one expects a water line failure in a very new building, but unfortunately despite inspections and testing such events are not unheard of. The District, its contractor and subcontractors, have appropriate levels of insurance and facility equipment remains under warranty.

“The Health Center and Pharmacy will fully and quickly recover from this and will be back in full operation as soon as humanly possible.”

Both the board of the Health District that owns the facility and the Health Center leadership and staff who provide health care services thank our supportive community for their understanding.

We will continue to provide updates in the days ahead.

Thanks.

Response to Onryhenreid re: Wheeler Code

Submitted By: gardencoachkaren@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Interesting you should mention new codes

There is indeed NEW Code written and submitted for adoption. It was written by a Citizen Advisory Committee and aimed at shepherding in new developments. We support development that is right sized for Wheeler.

But those who think large scale projects are the only solution tanked the Citizens Advisory Committee ordinance and are putting a developer’s desire to make money over the citizens input on retaining Wheelers Character.

Tourism is our industry so let’s get it right to retain the qualities that make Wheeler special and attracted us in the first place.
