RISING FROM THE TRASHES
25 YEARS OF TRASHY FUN – TRASH BASH IS SOON
WHERE? White Clover Grange #784, Nehalem, Oregon
WHEN? Thursday, May 16 to Sunday, May 19, 2024
SUBMIT INTEREST BY: May 1st

From Thursday, May 16 to Sunday, May 19, 2024, we will gather in Nehalem, OR, at the White Clover Grange for an unforgettable extravaganza of the senses as the Trash Bash celebrates its 25th anniversary with a Trash, Boom, BANG!
Under the banner of “Rising from the Trashes” storytellers, visual artists, community activists, musicians, and runway trashion models will show off their creativity and passion for the natural beauty that surrounds us and the environment we’re passionate about preserving by turning trash into art! Should you be there? Absolutely!
Each artist puts their own unique spin on the experience and “you walk away with a sense of common purpose with a community of people” says Jennifer Nightingale, an Astoria-based novelist and storyteller who has returned to the Trash Bash to tell trash-inspired tales again and again. “When I come to the Trash Bash, I feel understood . . . I’ve never participated in any group where I felt so instantly welcomed.”
What do all of the participants have in common? “They take great delight in our natural world and,” as Nightingale stresses, “if you don’t fight for it, it won’t be here. The interesting thing about the trash bash is,” she goes on, “that there are moments of humor, pathos . . . the experience really runs the gamut of emotions—but in the end, it’s fun. The feeling that runs throughout is JOY.”
A writer and storyteller from Astoria, OR, Nightingale and her husband adopted a stretch of river beach eight years ago that they clean up several days a week. This experience and the trash she has collected by doing so over the years inspired her most recent Trash Bash tale. But participation is not limited to storytellers alone! Visual artists, fashion models, musicians, passionate volunteers, and community activists are all encouraged to get involved: “Just bring whatever gifts you have.”
“By participating,” Nightingale reflects, “it changes your response to trash. It heightens your empathy, your careful skills of observation. It helps you value trash and see all of its potential. It helps you walk away with a new perspective: Can you find the story inside the trash? Can it be repurposed somehow? Each item of trash tells a story. You’ll learn to see in new ways, beyond the item’s initial purpose.”
Why should you participate? Nightingale doesn’t hesitate, “It’s very meaningful. No matter what [which art form] you do, you’re telling a story. We all have to step up and do a little piece.” Maybe best of all, by participating and submitting your work of art/story/trashion, it’s a way to love the Coast back: “I love it here,” Nightingale gushes. “I love the power of the Coast. The rivers and estuaries. To be with a community of people who care for the well-being of this community is just AWESOME!”
If that’s you too, we would love to see your trash craft or hear your trashy story!

To leave your creative mark on this year’s Trash Bash, go to www.heartofcartm.org/trash-bash-2024

Together we are Rising from the Trashes, to leave our hearts a little more full and our landfills a little more empty.

Community Member seeking honest work

Submitted By: Xmiller1324@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hi North Coast Community!

My name is Bill Miller and I’m still fairly new to the area. I am currently working as a vet technician at Nehalem Animal Healing Center. I now own my first cat “Angel”, and have loved animals all my life. Working at the vet is a part-time opportunity, and I have been doing odd jobs on the side to help make a living.

I am friendly, compassionate, a very hard worker, and I pay close attention to detail. I’ve mostly been doing landscaping and house cleaning since moving to the coast. I currently reside in Nehalem, near the Animal Rescue. I always come to work with a positive attitude. I have 11 years of experience in the restaurant industry so I am no stranger to hard labor and cleanliness. I have gone through extensive training, including serve safe certification. If I am hired as a cleaner I make sure to use proper products and procedures. No matter what, I make sure the job is done right the first time!
I am primarily looking for yard work jobs in the area, as I love to work outdoors, however I am willing to clean kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, you name it. We are never to good to do a job, even if it’s dirty. I work quickly, efficiently and ask for very reasonable compensation. If there are pets involved I am more than happy to help take care of them as well! I am a natural with all types of animals, and I am trained to do nail trims as an additional service if needed. If anyone is in need of a reliable, honest, hardworking guy to help out at home, please feel free to reach out to me on here. Also my personal cell phone is fine (413) 695-2215! You may also contact me via email at, xmiller1324@gmail.com. Thank you so much for your time and I look forward to hearing from you!

Best Wishes, Sincerely, Bill Miller

Falun Gong & The Epoch Times

Seeing the recent post by Dixie G. reminded me of the New York Times deep-dive on the movement and the media organization from 2020.

China suppresses Falun Gong as well as people in Hong Kong who value democracy because of their beliefs. It suppresses Tibetans and Uighurs because of their culture and the territory they occupy.

Here’s the TLDR of the NY Times article:

“Today, The Epoch Times and its affiliates are a force in right-wing media, with tens of millions of social media followers spread across dozens of pages and an online audience that rivals those of The Daily Caller and Breitbart News, and with a similar willingness to feed the online fever swamps of the far right.”

Free Hot Tub (sorry no pictures included I forgot last time I was out there 🙂

Bought in about 2012. 2 person tub, perfect for a deck. Has not been used in about a year but before that was in good working order. Chemicals included. Several pieces of the siding have fallen off but can be caulked back on with relative ease. Please contact me for more details.

Thanks!

Falun Gong-The Epoch news, and The SHENYU Dancers

Submitted By: dixiegainer@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Most of us have heard about the Falun Gong – a spiritual group in China which is persecuted by the CCP, tortured, imprisoned, and their body parts taken from them and sold for organ transplants.This continues today.
Falun Gong sources estimate that tens of millions continue to practice privately, and Freedom House estimates there are seven to 20 million practitioners world wide.”
Li Hongzhi is the founder and leader of Falun Gong, or Falun Dafa, a United States-based new religious movement. Li began his public teachings on Falun Gong on 13 May 1992 in Changchun, and subsequently gave lectures and taught Falun Gong exercises across China. Falun Gong also started the EPOCH TIMES and the SHEN YU Dance Company.
Walk into Chinatown in any big Western city, and on the main street you are likely to find a row of seated meditators, their legs crossed and backs straight. Seemingly innocuous, they could easily pass for participants in a yoga class. In fact, the meditators are practicing a prescribed set of exercises from Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline which China banned in 1999 and calls an “evil cult”. Along with Tibetans, Uighur Muslims, democracy activists and pro-independence Taiwanese, Falun Gong practitioners round off the “five poisons”—risks which the Chinese government has acknowledged as posing the biggest threat to its rule. What is Falun Gong?
Falun Gong, which means “law wheel practice” in Chinese, is a set of meditation exercises and texts that preach the virtues of truth, benevolence and forbearance. It was founded in north-east China in 1992 by Li Hongzhi. Falun Gong draws on China’s long tradition of qigong, a regimen of controlled breathing and gentle physical movements. Practitioners of Falun Gong avow a path to salvation for the faithful.
They also are the group starting the EPOCH TIMES and the SHEN YU dancers.

Looking for a good guitar

Submitted By: ryanjpedersen@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hello community. I am in need of a good acoustic guitar: full body, steel string, good sound. I have an acoustic electric that just doesn’t cut it. Of course I could go buy something new, but I’ve always had guitars with soul and life already used into them. I prefer it that way, don’t mind bruises. If anyone has a good acoustic that is gathering dust or that they’re interested in selling, let me know. Thanks, as always and happy Spring!

11:00 -11:10 in Wheeler across from the Post Office
11:20 – 11:30 at Mohler Market Parking Lot
11:45 – 11:55 at Bayside Garden & Evergreen
12:00 – 12:10 at Tohl & Echanie Ct
