From shipwrecks to wrack lines, the pieces to be read by Oregon, Washington and Canadian writers explore the meanings and metaphors of “rising tide,” this year’s theme for the library’s annual writing project.
The seventh annual Writers Read Celebration will begin at 7 p.m.; admission is free. People can attend in person at the library, 131 Hemlock St., or online; the link will be on the library’s website, cannonbeachlibrary.org.
Fifteen pieces to be read include stories, poems and haikus. Topics include a woman who lifts a whale off the beach, flowers floating from Ukraine, a body to be buried, a morning and evening spent at Haystack Rock and a nod to political currents.
This is the seventh year that the library’s NW Authors Series Committee asked writers from everywhere to submit works on a specific theme. Writers could submit up to three entries in any format limited to 600 words per entry.
Of the 85 entries, the committee, after a blind reading, selected 15 pieces to be read by 13 writers. One of those writers is from Alberta, Canada.
Those invited to read this year were:
John Ciminello, Naselle, WA, poem: King Tides at Cape Disappointment
Deanna Duplechain, Seaside, OR, short story: Seeing Saturday
Christie Ellis, Astoria, flash fiction: All at Sea
Kristi Lund, Nehalem, OR, poem: Heeding the Tide
Mimi Maduro, Cape Meares, OR, haiku, Three Haiku
Colleen Medlock, Portland/Seaside, OR, flash fictions: Shifting Tides and A Light in a Storm
Russell Myers, Vancouver, WA, flash fiction: The Body
Jennifer Nightingale, Astoria, OR, poems: She Knows the Tide is Rising and Gifts from the Wrack Line
Grace Page, Red Deer, Alberta, Canada, poem: An Evening Walk to Haystack
Robert Michael Pyle, Gray’s River, WA, poem: All Boats Rise
Florence Sage, Astoria, OR, poem: But Never Mind
Phyllis Thompson, Manzanita, OR, poem: The Tides
Evan Morgan Williams, Portland, OR, flash fiction: The Great Black Shape
For the week of: 3/3/2025

Major milestones on the project:

About the new Health Center and Pharmacy
• The new Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy is a project of the Nehalem Bay Health District, an Oregon special district that has existed since the early 1950’s. The
District also owns the Nehalem Valley Care Center, the old Wheeler hospital and the current clinic building on Rowe Street in Wheeler.
• The decision to develop a new Health Center was driven by space limitations in the current clinic, as well as limits on the number of patients who can be served and
services that can be provided.
• The new Health Center will have 15 exam and procedure rooms, a major upgrade from the existing facility, allowing space to accommodate specialty
services, including x-ray and dental.
Have questions?
• Email the Health District at: info@nehalembayhd.org
• Call: Kevin McMurry: 503-753-1185, Jake Werger: 971-221-5958 or Marc Johnson: 208-866-6864

SORDID LIVES is a dark comedy set in a small Texas town, revolving around the eccentric Turpin family and their friends as they grapple with the sudden and embarrassing death of the family matriarch.
Peggy’s demise occurs during an illicit tryst in a seedy motel room with her younger, married neighbor, resulting in a hilariously scandalous cover-up.
As the family prepares for Peggy’s funeral, long-buried secrets and family tensions erupt, leading to a series of outrageous events.
The play satirizes small-town life, family dysfunction, and societal prejudices with a sharp wit and a deep affection for its flawed but lovable characters.
SORDID LIVES celebrates individuality and acceptance, even in the face of the most “sordid” circumstances.
It’s a raucous and heartwarming story about finding your place in a world that often tries to define you.
RATED MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY: ‘Sordid Lives’ is intended for mature audiences. The play contains comedic depictions of sensitive topics, including infidelity, mental health, LGBTQ+ issues, strong language, sexual content and innuendos, and situations not suitable for children or some younger audiences. Audience discretion is advised.

But now she’s telling us “…and this is what is happening right now – getting a handle on excessive spending. that is what Trump is doing now – getting a handle on excessive spending. Thank god for that. If we go bankrupt, social security medicare, and medicaid will be dumped as America tries to become solvent again… [it’s] a Herculean task that could take decades.”
Meanwhile, GOP Reps in Congress just passed their version of a budget bill that aims to effectively eliminate Medicaid, throwing millions into pervasive insecurity while preserving trillions in tax cuts for billionaires.
Also, Ms Gainer feels that Elon deserves commendation for performing this Doge miracle for free. Free? Really? Did SpaceX just happen to bump Verizon out of their existing contract with the FFA for air traffic control modernization by chance? Nothing to see here! Move on! “Since you can’t do anything about it – watch fun stuff…”
Probably a good idea to remind yourself occasionally about Ms Gainer’s reliability by reviewing the post by BBQ’s own editors (RIP, beloved Chuck) about her allegations of tainted voter rolls in Oregon during last year’s election cycle:

Mary Leverette, a resident of Wheeler, has been appointed to fill a vacancy on the Nehalem Bay Health District board of directors.
Leverette was unanimously selected by the Health District board during its February 26, 2025 board meeting. She will fill out the remainder of the term of former board member Lynda Chick, who resigned late last year.
Leverette was recently elected to the Wheeler City Council, and she has been very active in the Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay and also serves as coordinator of the annual Wheeler Clean Up Day. Leverette has an MS degree in psychology from Portland State University and before permanently relocating to Wheeler five years ago worked for the City of Portland’s Office of Sustainable Development and before that for the Mental Health & Developmental Disability Services Division of the State of Oregon.
“Our board is delighted that Mary has stepped up at a critical time for the Health District and our communities,” said Marc C. Johnson, board president. “Her experience, enthusiasm and wisdom will ensure that she is an immediate contributor helping further the District’s mission to facilitate delivery of health & community services in North Tillamook County.”
The Health District is currently developing the new Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy in Wheeler with construction expected to be complete in September 2025, renovating the region’s only skilled nursing facility the Nehalem Valley Care Center and planning development of workforce housing on District owned property.
