Besides delivering plenty of power for most homes this generator starts with a key and is very quiet and efficient especially in Eco-Mode which senses demand and adjusts automatically.

It was $2,000 new in June and has been maintained and runs perfectly.

I will deliver but please note it does not have the optional wheel kit.

Happy Solstice

“A little known fact about the Winter Solstice is that the Bee Hive comes back to life on this exact date. Even in complete darkness, after a winter surviving the cold, the Queen Bee senses when the Winter Solstice occurs by detecting the shift in electromagnetic energy from the Sun. At this moment, she instructs her workers to raise the temperature of the hive from its winter 75 degrees to 95 degrees—the exact temperature she needs to start laying her eggs for the Spring. The synergy of the hive working in unison creates a field of regeneration at the exact moment of the Winter Solstice—a lesson of renewal and rebirth in our own lives. “ (the Source of Synergy Foundation)
SYNERGY — working together– the power of the whole is greater than the parts. This is what we are learning: each person is transformed into something more powerful than they would be alone. In the Kabbalah the energy that arises from the transformation of uniting with others is called “Glory.” (wonder if that is where Glory Bee Honey’s name comes from) Let us use the wisdom of the Bees in uniting for the forest, for the waters, for the earth… for the well being of people, animals, and plants. Feel the energy revving up on the Winter Solstice!”
Gwendolyn Endicott

May the returning light fill us all with renewed vision.
Happy Solstice

Nehalem Bay Garden Club January Meeting at new meeting place and time

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: barbaraandchuck@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post

Calling all plant lovers!

The Nehalem Bay Garden Club will be 76 years young next spring! A very active group of 30 plus members is keeping this vibrant group going and the Club is always open to new members. Starting in January, we are changing our meeting time to the 4th Saturday at 10am to hopefully make the meetings available to more folks. So, if gardening is in your blood, or an interest that you would like to explore, please consider checking them out. No gardening experience is required, only an interest in learning, playing in dirt and hanging out with some pretty cool people!

The next meeting will be January 24th at 10:00am at the White Clover Grange, 36585 Highway 53 in Nehalem. The speaker is Katja Biesanz, who will share plant Latin with us.

The current mission of Nehalem Bay Garden Club is “To cultivate knowledge and love of gardening through educational programs and activities; to aid in the protection of the environment, native plants and wildlife; and to support public service through garden related organizations and volunteer opportunities.” The Club Objective from the 1978/79 yearbook was “To stimulate the knowledge and love for gardening, to aid in the protection of native trees, plants and birds.” So the legacy continues.

Nehalem Bay Garden Club’s big project is an annual plant sale Mother’s Day weekend. The 2026 sale will be Saturday, May 9th at the same location as the past few years at the junction of N Fork Road and Highway 53 in Nehalem. Please save the date! Going back to old roots, the 2026 sale will only be on Saturday.

The months leading up to the sale, starting in late January are busy ones, mainly starting seeds and potting up plants. Since many hands make light work, anyone interested in helping is very welcome. The Club meets nearly every week getting hands dirty and laughing a lot as the work is done. Please email barbaraandchuck@nehalemtel.net if you would like to know more about these work/play parties or about the Garden Club.

Proceeds from the annual plant sale are given to local organizations that meet the mission of the Club. We have been donating to the community for over 20 years. Since 2020 alone the Club has awarded grants totaling nearly $18,000. Grant recipients include Alder Creek Farm, Food Roots, Hoffman Garden, Tillamook Early Learning Center, Wheeler Waterfront Park and Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy. During the pandemic we wanted to help with food security and included Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church for their Senior Lunches and Food Pantry and North County Food Bank.

The 1978/79 yearbook also had a Conservation Pledge.
“I give my
Pledge as an American to save
And Faithfully to defend from Waste the natural resources of
My Country – its Forests, Waters
And Wildlife.”

Words to live by today.

You’re here to Love. Fiercely. Strongly. Clearly.
To Love yourself, to Love all beings around you – regardless of externalized labels.

You’re here to Love every bit of your life experience and let that energy radiate into the stratosphere.

You’re here to live as Love and to Be Love and to radiate Love – everywhere you go and in everything you “do” and be.

City of Manzanita Update: Localized Landslide Area Under Control

The City of Manzanita would like to reassure residents and visitors that the area of concern
related to recent erosion and soil instability is isolated to a specific location on city-owned
property and does not pose a widespread risk to the community.

City staff have taken preventative steps to reduce potential hazards, including stabilizing affected areas where possible and implementing protective measures ahead of the forecasted storm. The site continues to be actively monitored and assessed by City staff and technical professionals to determine the most effective long-term solution moving
forward.

Out of an abundance of caution, individuals and properties that could potentially be impacted have been directly notified, and the City will continue to communicate as conditions evolve.

At this time, the City of Manzanita remains safe, and there are no evacuations or general access restrictions in place. Residents and visitors are encouraged to remain weather-aware, particularly in areas with steep slopes or drainage concerns, and to follow any guidance issued by the City or emergency services.

The City appreciates the community’s cooperation and understanding as we take proactive steps to protect public safety. Updates will continue to be shared through the City’s website and official communication channels.
