EVCNB COOKING CONTEST
Join us for a “Cooking Emergency Food Contest.”

Local contestants will prepare and entree and a dessert (only 20 minutes for each!) using NO water and NO heat. Local restaurateurs will judge the dishes and crown a TOP CHEF.

You’ll want to take notes so you can be ready to make and eat delicious, satisfying food the next time the power goes out. We’re asking for a $5 cover charge and pre-registration so we can have enough soft drinks, wine, and snacks available.

Local Author Known for Alaska-Themed Histories to Visit Cannon Beach Library

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: nmccarthy1276@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Whether it’s about the history of seal hunting in the Bering Sea or the biography of a woman who accidentally triggered a gold rush in the Klondike, author Deb Vanasse’s stories explore Alaska as much as they document the people she writes about.
Vanasse will be the guest author at the Cannon Beach Library at 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 20. The free event will be hybrid; her presentation will be presented in person and online, via the library’s website, www.cannonbeachlibrary.org.
The Warrenton, Oregon author spent 36 years in Alaska, where she co-founded 49 Writers, a statewide writing center offering creative writing workshops. Vanasse has written 25 books in various genres, including nonfiction, historical fiction and children’s books; most are focused on Alaska.
Her 2022 release, Roar of the Sea, was an Oregon State Book award finalist. It tells the story of the unlikely hero who fought pirates and national governments to save Alaskan fur seals from extinction.
In 2016, Vanasse published Wealth Woman, about Kate Carmack, a Tagish woman who was a key figure in the discovery that set off the Klondike gold rush.
Vanasse enjoys seeking out hidden histories, and she likes to keep readers turning pages with characters who aren’t easily forgotten.
When she isn’t buying books, drinking tea or walking her boxer dog at the beach, Vanasse also does freelance editorial work, helping authors pull together plots, develop characters, and fine-tune their voice and pacing.
Books will be available for purchase and signing.
Vanasse’s presentation is coordinated by the Cannon Beach Library’s NW Authors Series Committee, which sponsors authors monthly from September through May. The committee also sponsors the Writers Read Celebration, where residents and visitors read works based on a local theme. This year, the celebration will be on March 22; the theme is “Beach Noir.”

THANK YOU PUD & ROAD CREWS

When the lights went out on Saturday and the freezing rain was still blowing down, I got ready for a cold night in layers of clothes and blankets. I was pleasantly surprised when the heat and lights came back on before bed.
That means that there were utility workers out there in the wet, freezing dark. I bet some of you had already worked hours and hours. Wow. Valiant.
And when I finally ventured into town, large limbs were out of the way, and traction material spread on the shady icy patches. Some of this I imagine was accomplished by volunteers. For you, and for the official road crews: Thank you.
Thank you for doing hard and miserable work to allow the rest of us to be comfortable. Thank you for taking care of your community. You are amazing.
Sincerely,
Katja & Coby

For those that are curious and eager to create a more energy-efficient and self-correcting nervous system, you will love the second half of the class!

Club Manzanita Bait and Switch conclusion

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: rkinor@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
What happened to our old City Hall? The City described it as an old, leaking, mold filled building that was so unsafe for use that employees could no longer work there.

The City’s selected contractor to build the new City Hall described all of the above negative building conditions associated with the reuse of the Underhill structures. Then just months later, he purchased and remodeled the old City Hall on Laneda as his business office. His new office has the same concrete slab on grade foundation as the School and Q Hut and is less than 300 feet away from the ground shaking dangers that he claimed would potentially destroy the Underhill structures. To this point his remodel does not include the installation of the bored pilings he claimed were the economical solution necessary to prevent foundation failure.

Finally, when Mayor Simmons requested access to the Old City Hall and Fire Station to examine the potential of those respective facilities for reuse, the City Manager denied her request to enter the buildings because “volunteers are not allowed” and then stated that the Mayor “was trying to undermine the new City Hall project”. I would note that EVC volunteers have complete access to the old Fire Station with no apparent concerns by the City Manager.

Those citizens who have taken exception to me sharing my opinions about the City Hall project or other City business matters with Mayor Simmons and demanded that she sever all ties with me should be aware that Mayor Scott and other past and current Councilors have sought me out to meet with and seek my suggestions, opinions and support on other of City issues.

After one private meeting Mayor Scott asked me to attend on the Underhill project he emailed me with the following: ” Thanks for your thoughts. They are well thought out and I will share them with the council. I really appreciate all the time and effort you have put into this project over this past year. ” In a separate email, Mayor Scott responded “I need your help in coming up with a strategy to get public support so we can make this project work.”

My experience with the City shows me that as long as you stay on script and do not ask too many questions, the Club has a place for you. If one dares to request an explanation or correction of public misstatements, the City Manager has recommended to the Council that “we must discourage or even ignore if necessary” such individuals.

This series on Club Manzanita is my attempt to present factual information concerning the policy and financial decisions of our public officials. I will continue to raise issues and have questions. I regularly receive emails from residents who I have never met who are interested in what is happening in our community but recognize the risks of publicly voicing those concerns. Thank you for watching what’s happening and your support.

The City Manager will be at the Pine Grove on January 16 to discuss the State of the City. Take the opportunity to ask your questions if you plan to attend .
