Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: skye@salmonberrytrail.org – Click to email about this post
The Salmonberry Trail will be partnering with SOLVE to remove invasive species and continue beautifying our Wheeler Demonstration Trail!

Join us to remove invasive species along the Wheeler Segment of the Salmonberry Trail. We will be focusing on the south section of the trail near Waterfront Park in downtown Wheeler. In addition to ivy removal, we will be placing some cardboard and wood chips down.

Please bring loppers, a rake, work gloves, water, and a snack for yourself. We will have extra tools and gloves if you do not own any.

The Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad will be running a train to Wheeler this day, so we need to make sure we are not in their way by 11:45AM!

We will meet behind the railroad tracks on Marine Dr and Hemlock St (west side of Hwy 101) in Wheeler at 9AM.

Join us to remove invasive species along the Wheeler Segment of the Salmonberry Trail. We will be focusing on the south section of the trail near Waterfront Park in downtown Wheeler. Once the ivy is removed, we want to place wood chips and prepare for planting native species in the fall. We have someone mowing the north section, so we will likely be placing woodchips during the work party, too!

Ooooh it’s almost time! The Manzanita Farmers Market opens May 15 and will continue on Fridays from 4-7pm through September.

It’s been an incredibly warm winter, so we can expect some earlier harvests than usual. I can’t wait for those juicy sweet strawberries, fresh greens and herbs, crunchy carrots, and beautiful flowers. And this year, we’re very excited to have fresh oysters at the market, direct from Netarts Bay!

This year we are working on improving accessibility at the market. We will have the beach wheelchairs on site and available to use first come, first served while you visit the market. We are adding an ADA picnic table on a gravel pad, and we are working with Public Works to improve our accessible parking and access to the food court and music area (coming in July!).

We also are happy to continue our Triple Up SNAP match program this season. Spend $20 in SNAP benefits at the market and get $60 to spend, every week! Visit the market info booth to learn more and run your SNAP card.

We’ve got so many awesome vendors this year, both returning favorites and some exciting new businesses. We will have live music every week, I’ll be posting the schedule soon. Can’t wait to see you there!

Conscious Aging and Community Connections May 11

Aging in Place; a preparedness conversation
May 11, 2026
2-4pm at Pine Grove Community House

Our local community has been lauded for outstanding emergency preparedness. Yet we are completely unprepared for the one thing we know for sure is coming!

The US Dept of Health and Human services says that 77% of people over 50 have not planned for how they will age and die. If asked, most people say they want to “age in place”. We vaguely imagine ourselves living out our years in our current homes, at our current level of ability and then dying peacefully in our sleep.

Unfortunately, the reality is that for most people, the last decade may be one of physical and mental decline, and/or illness. It becomes increasingly difficult to be independent, and a high percentage of us will live our last years alone as we lose the ability to care for ourselves.

Conscious Aging and Community Connections presents local programs intended to build community and help us live our best lives. Our May 11th conversation will focus on the importance of planning ahead while we are still able. We will explore what we can do now, to live as well as we can, for as long as we can, in our own homes. We will explore other options and consider pros and cons. No doubt there will be more questions than answers, but at the very least, there will be good conversation with others who are facing similar challenges.

The list of questions is long. Who will care for you? How will you get around? Who will manage your bills? Is your current home suitable for aging in place? (It’s not just about ramps and grab bars!). What else do you need to consider before you invest in expensive adaptive equipment and/or remodeling?

The conversation, and questions we generate, are meant to inspire and motivate us to act now while we are still able. NOW is the time to get clarity about what you want and need, to research your options, plan for help, perhaps make changes to your home, get your documents in order, and maybe have that talk with your family.

Please join us for this important and no doubt, lively conversation!

All ages are welcome (may even be more beneficial for younger people!)

Your donation of $5 supports the Pine Grove Community House.

Price: $445 (OBO)

For sale is a professional-grade Screen Grate Sand Device. This is a heavy-duty manual sifter designed specifically for cleaning beach volleyball courts, beach areas, or sand pits, or your outdoor areas.

Durable Construction: Built with an aluminum frame and galvanized steel handle—made to resist rust in coastal environments.

Pneumatic Tires: Large wheels make it easy to maneuver through deep, dry sand.

Efficiency: Cleans and grooms the sand in one pass when tilted to a 45° angle.

Condition: Excellent condition and works perfectly.

LETTER TO EDITOR: Vote for Mary Faith Bell for County Commissioner
Posted on April 27, 2026 by Editor

I first met Mary Faith Bell when she volunteered in my classroom where her son was a student. She was always dependable, kind, and interested in learning more about what we did in class, all while working full time nights as a baker in McMinnville. As she has taken on jobs with more and more responsibility she has exhibited these same attributes always.

When I contemplate Jeff Spink’s Headlight Herald interview comments, I’m close to appalled. HE HASN’T “HAD TIME” TO LEARN WHAT A COUNTY COMMISSIONER’S JOB IS OR ABOUT THE CURRENT ISSUES THE COMMISSIONERS DEAL WITH. He would be a know-nothing-to-begin-with commissioner, and IT’S DIFFICULT TO TELL IF HE’D WORK HARD TO LEARN IF ELECTED.

As a resident of downtown Hebo since 1990, I’m especially excited about Mary Faith’s work to qualify south Tillamook County as an economic opportunity zone, unlocking investment dollars for our area. Mary Faith has championed housing, more jobs and training (her work on the TBCC board shows steadfast commitment), new sewer and water infrastructure, and more, for our area. All these will help south county thrive.

I’M VOTING FOR DEMONSTRATED COMPETENCE AND COMMITMENT. I’m voting for Mary Faith Bell.
