Local Friends and Business Owners-
I am helping the Upstairs Bar & Grill with their annual fundraiser to benefit our local Tillamook Hospice.

If you are able to contribute to the silent auction whether it’s a gift certificate, a product, or any other items you think would be a great fit, please reach out to me! I am more than happy to personally pick up any donations at your convenience.

Every contribution, big or small, will make a significant difference in the lives of those who rely on the vital care and support provided by Tillamook Hospice.

Additionally, we would LOVE to see you there to taste test all the chili and vote for your favorite.

Please message me directly for more information and I would be happy to share a PDF outlining all the details! I could only put pictures of them here.

Protect our Wetlands!

Protect our Wetlands!

Hi there! I’m working to bring together a group of community members dedicated to protecting our wetlands from any future development. While we hope for a positive outcome from the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition’s appeal of the Nedonna Wave PUD to LUBA, it’s important that we prepare for any scenario.
Wetlands are highly productive and biologically diverse systems that enhance water quality, control erosion, maintain stream flows, sequester carbon, and provide a home to many species of fish and wildlife. Protecting these special areas is essential!
There are many ideas on how we can organize as a community, including: staying informed and keeping up-to-date on developments, having ongoing conversations with neighbors and family members, building and maintaining a contact and mailing list, attending relevant city council meetings, working to get media coverage and attention on this issue, creating engaging graphics, videos, and other visuals to spread the word, producing flyers and yard signs to increase awareness, monitoring the site and any potential developer actions, looking into legal representation to ensure we have the support we need.
If you have any suggestions, and/or are interested in joining this group, please email me at lyndsey.nccwp@gmail.com.

Thank you!

Gardeners Take Warning COLD NIGHTS

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: mkuestner10@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Gardeners protect your cold-tender plants.
The next three nights are to be in the mid to upper 20s, so if you have any plants that won’t survive, push against your house, put in your garage, shed, porch or inside your house.
If in the ground cover with a box. If you use a plastic cover be sure the plant leaves aren’t touching the plastic as the cold will transfer to them directly through the plastic.
Be warm!
Spring is coming.

Riverbend Players kicks off our 2025 Season with our first-ever production of an Agatha Christie murder mystery!

THE MOUSETRAP opens February 28th, for nine shows only and runs through March 16th at the NCRD Performing Arts Center.

THE MOUSETRAP by Agatha Christie
Directed by Randy Schultz:

A classic murder mystery occurs in Monkswell Manor, a guesthouse where a snowstorm traps a group of strangers.

As news arrives of a murder nearby, the guests realize that the killer might be among them.

Detective Sergeant Trotter arrives to investigate, but as tensions rise and secrets are uncovered, another murder occurs.

The play is famous for its surprise twist ending, and audiences are traditionally asked to keep the plot’s resolution a secret.

The Mousetrap holds the world record as the longest-running play, debuting in 1952 and remaining continuously on stage.

Get your 2025 SEASON PASS now. It’s only available until March 16th.

Tickets and the 2025 SEASON PASS are available now at www.RiverbendPlayers.org

Civic Saturday Sermon Except

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: codger817@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I find Eric Liu’s sermons from his book, “Become America” inspiring. I have been hosting “Civic Saturdays” to listen to his sermons with anyone who is interested. It’s a 10AM zoom, but sessions are recorded and are available by e-mailing codger817@gmail.com.
They are 8 years old, but they mirror the present day perfectly because the same grifter is in office again, even though 68% of the electorate did not vote for him.
Here’s the conclusion of today’s sermon
…..”We who believe in inclusion and integrity can’t out-cynicism the likes of Bannon and Trump. We can out-believe them. We can out-love them, out-trust them, out-mobilize them, out-imagine them. Out joy them. Have you seen Donald J. Trump smile with joy? He cannot. We must. We must do that at home. With our neighbors. With strangers we encounter face to face. And with strangers we can’t see or touch but can imagine.
Trump is weak, not strong, That’s why he has to use a strategy of chaos creation. The people are strong, not weak. That’s why we mustn’t panic. Persist, believe, organize. Do so with love, and with joy. In our laws, our acts, and our hearts this land is our land.”

United Paws’ Cats of the Week

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: Coastbbqfree@protonmail.com – Click to email about this post
Introducing United Paws’ newest stars, Baby Shark (Sharky) and Frank. These boys have skills!

Frank is a chocolate point snowshoe Siamese who is named after Ol’ Blue Eyes himself. He was abandoned but luckily found his way to a friendly house about six months ago. He was very guarded from having to survive outside, but with loving, consistent care Frank became more comfortable and trusting. He enjoyed the companionship of the home’s visiting chickens, even cuddling up with one of them in his bed, and
keeping her eggs warm when she went off to feed! Around Christmas it was time for Frank to move indoors, so he now has his own private room complete with all the requisite comforts befitting a star like Frank. Frank loves attention, adores being pet, and responds by rubbing his head against you and rolling around in bliss. Frank is fine around a Shepard mix, so he may adjust to a dog pal.

Sharky wakes up with a smile and is always in a happy mood. He enjoys other cats, playing with feather toys, a kick sock, and lounging in a sunny spot of the house. Sharky comes running when called, travels well, plays fetch, and is even an accomplished bug hunter! Sharky isn’t a lap cat but doesn’t mind being held as long as there’s petting involved, and is an affectionate boy that will gladly snuggle up to your neck or your feet at bedtime.

You can learn more about these boys, as well as other cats and kittens available for adoption, at unitedpaws.wordress.com, where you can also complete an application. If you would like to schedule a “Meet & Greet”, please email unitedpawsapps@gmail.com or call United Paws at 503-842-5663.

Response to posts on U.S.A.I.D.

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: lynn.joy.steinberg@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I’d like to respond to some misinformation, and to those who have cheered the President’s dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. with a few facts noted by the NY Times today:
1. “The president, much less Elon Musk, cannot shut down a federal agency without a vote by Congress. To do so is illegal under the Constitution.”
2. “More than half U.S.A.I.D.’s spending in 2023 went to health programs intended to stop the spread of diseases such as polio, Ebola, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS and malaria or to humanitarian assistance to respond to emergencies and help stabilize war-torn regions. If you care about preventing the next pandemic or the pressures of global migration, U.S.A.I.D. is an investment you should want the United States to make.”
