Date: May 16th from 12-1:00 pm (PST)
Offering: A New Palliative Care Tool: Psilocybin Assisted Therapy
Location: Virtual (Zoom)
Registration (required) www.northcoasteolcollective.com/events-one/a-new-palliative-care-tool-psilocybin-assisted-therapy
Presenter: Kathryn L. Tucker, JD, Special Advocacy Advisor – National Psychedelics Association

Description:
Modern-era clinical trials show psilocybin-assisted therapy brings “immediate, substantial and sustained” relief from anxiety and depression in patients with advanced cancer. Palliative care providers are eager to add a new palliative care tool to their toolbox to address non-physical suffering. This presentation will briefly review the trials and findings, the prohibited status of psilocybin under current law, and efforts to evolve the law to allow access for therapeutic purposes. The discussion will include Oregon’s pioneering Psilocybin Services Act, the first state law to legalize and regulate this substance despite its federal status.

Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy is pleased to be hosting Rick Estrin and the Nightcats on June 23rd at NCRD for a high energy show that is sure to cure the blues.

ALL proceeds from the Rick Estrin show will benefit the “finishing touches” needed for the new Health Center.

Blues vocalist, harmonica master and songwriting legend Rick Estrin, leader of the musically fearless, wildly entertaining, award-winning band Rick Estrin & The Nightcats, doesn’t like to talk much about his own musical superpowers. But ask him about the Nightcats—multi-instrumentalist/musical mastermind/producer Christoffer “Kid” Andersen, keyboardist/organ wizard/bass player Lorenzo Farrell and endlessly creative drummer Derrick “D’Mar” Martin—and he’ll be happy to sing their praises. “This band is killer. I’m enjoying this all more than ever,” says the man who’s been performing and recording professionally since the early 1970s. “It’s a blessing—there’s so much energy, so much collaboration. The band is just so good right now. And the live show is better than ever.” Living Blues calls Rick Estrin & The Nightcats “a terrific blues band with a real character for a front man,” continuing, “Clever, well-crafted songs framed by first-flight musicianship…hugely entertaining, intelligently conceived and executed roots rock with a wickedly cool and otherworldly twist on tradition. Estrin’s harp work is masterful.”

As an added treat members of the NKN choir will perform a short opening set prior to the Nightcats show.

Don’t miss the show on June 23rd at the NCRD Performing Arts Center. A pre-concert wine and beer reception will begin at 2:00 pm. The music starts at 3:00 pm

Thanks to Bay City Mayor, David McCall for correcting the amount I quoted that Bay City assesses for permanent property taxes per $1,000. The chart I used had the incorrect data, sorry to have passed that along!
There’s a great article in the newsletter Manzanita Today (2/14/2022) that has two charts, one showing local cities with their property tax rates per $1,000. and the following one how much STR taxes (TLT) they rely on in their General Funds. It’s a good illustration of which cities rely heavily on these funds to stay afloat: drive.google.com/file/d/1_LQYpKo1g7pgD4R-SrlYX3QrzpZ8WfJT/view To see the charts, please scroll down to page 8.
The next Conversations with Councilors is tomorrow, so if you have ideas about their current topic: Revenue Diversification: Possible Prepared Food Tax in Manzanita? Sign up!

Library to Host Award-Winning Sci Fi Author

The NW Author Speakers Series will host Washington science fiction and fantasy writer E. Lily Yu for a talk at 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 18. At the author’s request this will be an in-person only event at the library; the presentation will not be recorded or livestreamed. Books will be available for purchase and signing.

Yu received the Washington State Book Award for Fiction in 2022, the Artist Trust LaSalle Storyteller Award in 2017 and the Astounding Award for Best New Writer in 2012. Her stories have been finalists for the Hugo, Nebula, Locus, Sturgeon and World Fantasy Awards.

Yu’s debut novel “On Fragile Waves” was listed in the New York Times Best Science Fiction and Fantasy Books of 2021 and the Publishers Weekly Best Books of 2021. It is the story of Firuzeh, a young girl whose family flees war-torn Afghanistan for greater opportunities in Australia. Firuzeh finds hope and comfort in the fairy tales her parents spin about life in Australia, but eventually has to find a way to deal with the reality of life as an immigrant.

Critics have described “On Fragile Waves” as a “knockout,” an “exquisite and unusual magic realistic debut” and a book that “will enchant readers of both literary fiction and fantasy.”

Yu’s debut short story collection, “Jewel Box: Stories,” also met with critical acclaim, with critics describing the 22 stories in the collection as “mini-masterpieces.”

The stories, a mix of science fiction and fantastical tales, include a Muslim businessman who doesn’t appreciate the glories offered to him by an angel; a roadside lamp that declares its love for a handsome human; a cyberpunk retelling of a Greek myth; a woman obsessed with staircases; and other stories told in what one critic has called “an utterly unique voice—poetical yet clear-eyed, hard-nosed yet romantic.”

Yu’s forthcoming book, “Break, Blow, Burn & Make: A Writer’s Thought on Creation” is a guide to creation and creativity.
