Mussel Foraging Workshop (last one this year!)

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: shiftingtidesnw@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
This will be the last mussel foraging class of the 2026 season! They won’t be back until spring 2027.

Experience Oregon’s rugged coastline through the lens of traditional and ecological mussel foraging in this hands-on, guided workshop set within the state’s dynamic tidepools. Led by forager and marine educator Alanna Kieffer, this immersive experience invites participants to connect deeply with Oregon’s intertidal ecosystems while learning to harvest one of the coast’s most abundant shellfish.

We’ll begin with an introduction to tidepool ecology, covering tides, wave action, and the intertidal zones that create ideal habitat for native mussel species along Oregon’s rocky shores. The workshop places a strong emphasis on sustainable mussel foraging, teaching ethical harvest techniques that protect both individual organisms and the broader ecosystem. Participants will learn Oregon’s seasonal regulations, limits, and best practices for minimizing impact while foraging responsibly.

On shore, we’ll explore safe handling, cleaning, and storage methods for freshly harvested mussels, along with simple preparation techniques that highlight their natural flavor. Participants will enjoy tastings and discussions around culinary traditions tied to mussels along the Oregon coast.

Saturday-Peaceful Protest in Nehalem

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

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

Wanting to pass along a note from Ed and Mary. Yes, North County Resistance will be protesting again in Nehalem this Saturday, August 15, from noon to 2 PM. We hope you will join us. Come when you can and stay as long as you can. Sunscreen and water are highly recommended. Bring a chair if you need one. If you need help getting this all to the sidewalk just let us know and we will gladly help you. The following is from Ed and Mary:

We wrote back in January that we hoped that we were just alarmist about the threat Trump was having on our democratic institutions. We still hope we are wrong, but recent events point to an authoritarian takeover of our government…it’s there in plain sight:
* Trump not ruling out calling a national emergency to stop the midterm elections.
* Trump is building up ICE into a huge armed force that can be used for voter intimidation at his direction.
* Trump rolling out “new” declassified documents on voter fraud…why now, not when he was calling elections that he lost, rigged?
* Trump ignoring the courts and the Congress (Epstein files for example).
* Trump pardoning insurrectionist…green light to do it again, maybe in the states where Trump candidates lost.

These are facts and they should be very unsettling to Americans who don’t want a dictator to lead our country (yes, and some do). And are state and local law enforcement prepared to stop masked (maybe Federal, maybe not) agents intimidating voters in line to vote, or grabbing ballot boxes?

It’s time for all of us to not be a spectator in watching our 250 year run as a democracy go away. We need to not worry about offending a relative or friend. We need to write and call our state leaders to be sure we are prepared for the worst from Trump at the midterm elections. We need to write to our family and friends and ask them to push back…attend a peaceful rally, donate to non-MAGA candidates, write their legislators.

Again, we hope we’re wrong…time will tell.

Ed and Mary

FREE Concert: Sunday, August 23rd in Cannon Beach

Ben Rice & The PDX Hustle present a free concert in Cannon Beach’s downtown city park, at 5:00PM on Sunday, August 23rd.

While Rice started in traditional blues, he’s built upon that foundation with soul, R&B, folk and country to fashion a welcoming front porch where everybody wants to hang out into the wee hours.

The electric and high-energy band features a horn section and a thumping rhythm section to get your body moving. “My goal is to reach people in a way that they need to be reached,” Rice says, “to say things they may not get to say or hear things they may not normally get to hear.”

This free, family friendly concert, in Cannon Beach’s downtown city park, begins at 5:00PM. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets, low-backed chairs and fully stocked picnic baskets. Dogs, Frisbees, soccer balls and the like are welcome too.

The park is located in downtown Cannon Beach, northeast of the Chamber of Commerce at 2nd & Spruce.

The concert is produced by the Tolovana Arts Colony and made possible by a Community Grant from the City of Cannon Beach.

Flying WILD with Coastal Birds: Tufted Puffins, Common Murres, Pigeon Guillemots, Oh My!

Friday, August 21, 2026

Time: 9:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., PT

Format: In person

Audience: K-5th grade educators, formal and nonformal

Materials Provided: Project WILD’s Flying WILD: An Educators’ Guide to Celebrating Birds

RSVP Required. Find the link at tolovanaartscolony.org or copy the link below.

Description:

Join ONREP for an engaging, hands-on professional learning experience exploring coastal birds through the Flying WILD Activity Guide. Using birds as a gateway to understanding ecosystems, this workshop connects wildlife, habitat, and human impact along Oregon’s coast.

Participants will experience a sequence of interactive activities, adapted to highlight coastal and seabird species, that model how to engage learners in observation, inquiry, and systems thinking. Together, we will examine how coastal birds depend on dynamic habitats such as rocky shores and open-ocean systems, and how these relationships can anchor cross-disciplinary learning.

Educators will leave with strategies, resources, and ready-to-use activities that support standards-aligned instruction and foster environmental literacy. Project WILD emphasizes helping students develop awareness, knowledge, and decision-making skills that lead to responsible actions for wildlife and natural resources.

This workshop is designed for formal and nonformal educators interested in integrating outdoor learning, wildlife science, and student-centered inquiry into their teaching, both indoors and outdoors.

Meet the folks of the Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay!

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: info@evcnb.org – Click to email about this post
The Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay will be at the Manzanita Farmers Market on Friday, August 14 from 4:00 to 7:00, in the parking lot off Manzanita Avenue next to City Hall.

Our tent is open at both ends so you can walk straight through and meet the volunteers behind each of our programs:
-CERT. Neighbors trained to respond in the first hours after a disaster.
-Medical Reserve Corps. Medical and non medical volunteers ready to staff emergency care.
-WaSH. Safe water and sanitation when the taps and toilets stop working.
-GoBag. What to pack so you can leave your house in under five minutes.
-Prepare Your Neighborhood. How your street gets organized before anything happens.
-Emergency Communications. Staying in touch with your block when the phones go quiet.
-Shelters. Where people go when they cannot safely stay in their homes.
-Mass Care. The coordination behind all of it. Standing up a site like this one, working alongside our partner agencies and getting the right people and equipment where they need to be. Friday is a working demonstration of exactly that.

The MRC trailer will be open for walk through tours, and we will have Starlink running so you can see how we stay connected when the usual communication lines go down. Our friends at Nehalem Bay Fire and Rescue plan to join us as well.
Come with your questions. What goes in a GoBag. How your neighborhood gets organized. What happens to water after a big quake. Where people go if they cannot stay in their homes. We would rather answer those questions on a sunny Friday afternoon than during an emergency.

Thinking about volunteering? Stop by our table to check out the Volunteer Welcome Packet and fill out a Volunteer Interest Form. EVCNB’s new Volunteer Coordinator will be there to help get you started.

I am kind of speechless that you are unaware that our country attacked Iran at the bequest of Israel – you are the first person who has questioned this, as far as I know.
First of all about a month ago, our president attacked Iran with bombers to eradicate Iran’s capability to produce a nuclear weapon. He claimed this was successful. Over and done. Our country is now safe from Iran. So they say. Iran was never a real threat to America. OVER and DONE!

But few weeks later, Israeli planes along with our air force were attacking Iran. WHY? We were done. At the bequest of Israel we went again and bombed again. Main stream media will not say that Israel requested or demanded, but everybody who follows world affairs and gets their information from the internet knew right away. We were done with Iran- we didn’t need to go in again. So WHY?
And look what happened! Pandoras Box! Americans and especially MAGA people who voted for Trump’s “America First “ pledge” are very very angry. Me Too!

Iran is really no threat to this country, but Israel and Iran are enemies. We are the dog, and Israel is the tail, and the tail wags the dog!! And it has for a long time and I have always wondered why. It is because of AIPAC, the Israel lobby, that passes out lots of money to Americans who can do for Israel what Israel wants done. AIPAC is not registered with our government as all other lobbies are required to do. WHY?

The people of Israel do not like their current government and they haven’t liked it for a long time. There is nothing they can do about it.

Israel is a lovely country I hear. My son when he was 18 went over there and lived on a kibbutz and worked there for about a year. He loved it there. He married an Israeli girl.
My grandchildren have gone to Hebrew school, and I have attended the oldest one’s Bot Mitzvah. I am not jewish.
.
AIPAC is the Israel lobby. It is not registered as is required by law! WHY? It is a loose coalition of individuals and organizations working to shape foreign policy in support of the State of Israel. Major groups include the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC)and Christians United for Israel, influencing legislative aid, elections, and diplomatic relations.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) accumulates its SUBSTANTIAL FINANCIAL INFLUENCE through a vast network of dedicated individual donors, wealthy benefactors, and affiliated political action committees (PACs) rather than funding from foreign governments. (The above copied from internet)

The country of IRAN has a very repressive government that sometimes beheads or imprisons their citizens for wanting basic freedoms. The country of Israel has committed genocide and their leader Netanyahu faces active criminal indictments in Israel for corruption and an international arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC) for alleged war crimes.
By the way. Israel has a nuclear bomb – They are not supposed to have one. How does this happen? A few shekels cross a palm? Maybe!
My guessing where Israel gets the money to hand out large chunks of it to those who do its bidding is pure speculation on my part.
