Electric wood stove – heating unit

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

This darn thing is adorable and though it’s not an actual “flame” – it still surprisingly gives the feel of a wood stove. And it heats up the room pretty quick. There’s even a remote control.
I used it in my converted garage/ art studio for a few years. The awesome red exterior and narrow width made it easy to fit into the room and colorful art studio. A plus is the top never really gets hot so you can stack things on it with no worry. I was digging around for the original receipt and I seem to remember it was around 290$ when I first bought it. And I also remember it was also on sale (because I like to buy on sale) so it would have been originally over 300$

I moved it with me to Oregon but it ends up the heating unit I have in my current/new art studio is more than sufficient.
I’m asking 40$ and I’ll use the money on handyman services to keep it all within the local economy.

Art in the Manzanita Library November

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

This month, NTLF Art in the Library Series presents the work of local Nehalem artist Glenna Gray, in the Manzanita Library through November. “I have painted for years, done all sorts of art and crafts, and taught art at the junior high level, but nothing ever caught my attention and delighted my senses like felting. A needle felting class at the Hoffman Center taught by Jeanine Rumble got me started. I taught myself wet felting (thanks to YouTube). I learned about Moy Mackay, a Scottish fiber artist, and saw her exquisite creations, which combine wet felting, needle felting, and stitching. I signed up for one of her workshops and went to Scotland two years ago to study with her. Since then, I have been chosen for the Cannon Beach Arts Association’s 2024 arts grant and have started teaching classes in needle felting, with the intention to include wet felting soon.” Glenna’s work is multi-dimensional, soft, warm, sculptural and shown in several local shops. “I prefer not to put glass over the works as it blunts the beautiful texture and dimensionality of the medium. Shadow boxes seem to allow the depth to show through. I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I love creating them.”
If you are interested in purchasing any of Glenna Gray’s pieces, you can contact her at glenna@nehalemtel.net or 503-354-4953.

Join the Fight!

There are many reasons to support one candidate over another. Party affiliation is an obvious choice. How they might affect taxes, or what an individual might attempt to accomplish while in office are others. At the end of the day, all politicians are fighting for one thing or another. They are supposed to be fighting on behalf of their constituents, or, at the very least, the people that voted for them. When it comes to Women’s Reproductive Rights, Cyrus Javadi does neither. He follows his own personal religious beliefs.
Last year he co-sponsored Senate Bill 1536 that would make it illegal for a women to seek an abortion after 15 weeks. He attempted to make it the law in Oregon for a woman to lose her rights and choice over her own body. There’s no place for this in government.
UNITED IN THE FIGHT to protect Women’s Reproductive Rights, WE CAN STOP Cyrus Javadi!
No matter your party affiliation, or what good you feel a candidate can do, we all must consider the harm that can come from just one.
Please vote for Andy Davis for House District 32, the candidate endorsed by Planned Parenthood, and SAVE Women’s Reproductive Rights in Oregon.

Thank you.

United Paws’ Kittens of the Week: Grant and River

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: unitedpawshelp@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Grant is a male, domestic short hair, who sports a distinctive golden-and-brown bullseye coat. Shy at first, Grant now comes running for attention when humans enter his orbit. He loves wrestling with his rescue buddy, River, and hasn’t met a toy he doesn’t like! Grant loves to compete with River for his foster’s love and attention. He even rolls over on his back so she can stroke his beautiful golden belly!
River is a handsome boy with silver-gray stripes and entrancing bluish eyes that look like deep pools of celadon. When he wants to spend time with you, he’ll put his feet on your chest while moving in for kisses. River is interested in exploring new places and playing with other kittens and cats. He gets very excited when he learns about a new toy that grabs his attention, especially when his buddy Grant is interested in the same toy. These two kittens are buddies; they peacefully sleep together and play together. They would make a great pair to adopt but will also do fine individually.
A kind-hearted lady in a trailer park where Grant and River were born, was feeding about ten abandoned kittens and cats. Eventually, she realized she needed help and the cats needed medical attention and to be spayed / neutered to curb anymore litters. She reached out to United Paws and volunteers caught four of the kittens, including Grant and River. The four kittens have all been cared for, spayed / neutered, and are wonderfully socialized. Now, Grant and River are ready for loving forever homes.
Read more on United Paws’ website about kittens and cats available for adoption. Visit www.unitedpaws.wordpress.org for more adoption info and an adoption application. You can also email United Paws at unitedpawsapps@gmail.com. Or Call United Paws at 503-842-5663.

One year ago,

Autumn Winds
   
October 31, 2023

Under this waning moon

in a season of descending, 

everything is cradled, held

in silence. As the east winds 

gather, offering a presence, 

rising over coastal mountains

then descending to the ocean,

they can open a heart to hope,

a hope that abides imagining,

imagining a space where no one

is excluded, all are welcome,

and the intimacy is generous.

In this genesis

of what has been denied

joy is recognized without a name.

Do you have noises in the attic, odors in the crawlspace?
It is officially rodent season.

As the cold wet season arrives rodents are looking for warm dry places to hole up for the winter.

Fun fact: Norway rats usually construct nests in below-ground burrows or at ground level. Crawl spaces and attics offer the ideal climate for nests, Nests may be lined with shredded paper, cloth, or other fibrous material. Litters of 6 to 12 young are born 21 to 23 days after conception. Newborn rats are naked and their eyes are closed, but they grow rapidly.
A single female Norway rat may birth up to 15,000 ospring in a single year.
We offer
Full exclusion (sealing up rodent entrances into your home and removing existing pests.
Bait box service
Insulation clean out

Proposed projects must be to build new multifamily rental housing of three units or more and may be located anywhere in the county, including cities and unincorporated areas. To support the immediate needs in the county, funding is prioritized for affordable and workforce housing options.

The maximum amount the grant will fund is $20,000 per unit in a project. There is a total of $400,000 to award in this funding cycle.
To maintain fair standards for assessment, applications will be evaluated by the Housing Commissioners using a criteria-based point system, weighted to ensure that small and large projects are given equal chance to receive funds.
Applicants must submit a pro forma, the financial document that demonstrates their need for additional financing for the proposed project. Applicants will also make a short presentation of their project to the Housing Commissioners at its December meeting. Final award decisions will be made by the Board of County Commissioners.

mainstream media promotes disinformation

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: dwieb1@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
In the middle of the night I was listening to BBC radio when they reported that Biden apparently called Trump supporters “garbage.” It took a few minutes, but I realized Joe Biden would never intend to say anything of the sort, and it must be disinformation. In the morning I found the quote and quickly understood opportunistic people were intentionally spinning his words to mean something very different from what Biden intended.

I expect that from Republicans who decided to put party over country, but mainstream media is either willfully ignorant or guilty of contributing to the dissemination of false information. Are they that desperate for what amounts to click bait? Do they have no common sense? Did they just follow the lead of other media outlets without bothering to do a few minutes of investigation? What happened to fact checking? And why do they have a double standard when reporting on the 2 parties? Inquiring minds want to know :p
