Connecting the Dots Art Show, Celebrate Sunday, Nov. 5, 3-5pm

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Hello Community Friends,
Over the last few years I’ve been having fun creating meditative designs by connecting dots. This year I started making abstract paintings with acrylic pour paint.

Friends encouraged me to have a show. Glenna Gray let me know the Fireside Room at NCRD was available this month, and who knows what got into me, but I reserved the space. Yesterday Lori Dillon and Glenna helped fill up that space with my creations!

I’d love to have you celebrate with me at my artist opening this coming Sunday, November 5th, from 3-5pm. Michael and my Ferret brothers, Cliff Tuttle and Gary Seelig, will be playing music part of the time.

Hope you’ll stop by Sunday, or during the month of November.

The Community Art Show is up in the main gallery at NCRD in November, and I have 3 pieces in that show also.

Much love, Tela

MEET THE CAST OF A CHRISTMAS STORY: CHLOE WARD

Dec. 1st-17th at the NCRD Performing Arts Center

Tickets and more details at www.RiverbendPlayers.org
$25, $20, and $10 (12 and under)

Chloe Ward as Helen:
Chloe leaped to Neah-Kha-Nie Middle School this year and is appearing in her third Riverbend Players production following her October performance in FRANKENSTEIN: THE RADIO PLAY.

Chloe follows in her mom’s footsteps with her love of theater and hopes to be in more productions over the coming years. Chloe is excited to be in a production with so many of her friends!

A CHRISTMAS STORY:

Humorist Jean Shepherd’s memoir of growing up in the Midwest in the late 1930s follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun under the tree for Christmas.

Ralphie pleads his case before his mother, his teacher, and even Santa Claus himself at Higbee’s Department Store.

The consistent response: “You’ll shoot your eye out!”
All the elements from the beloved motion picture are here, including the family’s temperamental exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the boys’ experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin; Ralphie’s father winning a lamp shaped like a woman’s leg in a net stocking; Ralphie’s fantasy scenarios and more.

A Christmas Story, a theatrical holiday treat!

$25, $20, and $10 (12 and under)

Our community is immensely richer thanks to NCRD

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

POSTED IN BEHALF OF STEVE BRIER:

Fellow Members of the Nehalem Bay Community:

I am voting to continue the operating levy for the North County Recreation District. I emphatically encourage you to vote YES too.

Our community is immensely richer thanks to NCRD. When I think of NCRD, I think of the countless hours spent water walking in the pool, many memorable events at the NCRD Theater (It’s a Wonderful Life, Mel Brown, Maria Muldaur, Nancy Pearl,…), community group meetings in the Fireside Room, yoga classes, and much more. As a Pickleball player, I am forever grateful to NCRD for stepping up to build an outstanding Pickleball facility that is enjoyed by people from ages eight to eighty.

If voters fail to renew the operating levy on the November 7 ballot, NCRD’s program services would be cut by about half. That would make all of us poorer. The ballot measure will not create a new tax, it only will continue the existing tax at the same rate that has been in effect for many years.

Sincerely,

Steve Brier
Manzanita

VOTE NO FOR CHANGE

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

VOTE NO FOR CHANGE. I was reminded by a fellow community member of a quote from Albert Einstein who once declared “The world is a dangerous place, not because of those that do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.”

For those who will vote for the levy out of fear for a reduction in your services, really? The NCRD will not close. The swim program will absolutely continue; the after-school program will not be affected; the Pre-school will thrive; the Performing Arts Center and the Riverbend Players’ curtain, will go up.

What will happen? The Board and the NCRD will go back to the budget and make adjustments. New eyes may need to look for what it will take for the NCRD to be self sufficient. They may look to see if the athletic dept only looks top heavy, based on usage, or is top heavy? Raise class fees to users? Have the Friends of NCRD take Patty’s advice and look for new fundraising ideas? Identify the effectiveness with the company the NCRD board irresponsibly approved $10,000 (the bid was $7,000?) to raise money for the NCRD & pool project?

You may ask: Why is she being such a dog with a bone about VOTING NO for CHANGE?

AGAIN, once you hear, you can’t unhear. As one who has attended many, many board meetings and witnessed over and over and over again the Boards & ED’s dismissiveness of Community questions/concerns, (‘you can’t please everyone’); the disinterest regarding our teens/tweens about their recreation after demolishing the Skateramp (‘they should be grateful, we’re building them a nine million dollar pool)’; the discrimination of the mobility challenged regarding no stage access in the PAC (“I have a disability, you don’t see me asking for special favors”); the ignorance/discrimination of not recognizing there is no street access to the pickle-ball courts (‘do people in wheelchairs play pickle-ball’) the arrogance and non-action to even FORM A COMMITTEE to address any of the above issues (‘73% of the voters passed the levy last time’). Yes, all stated OUT LOUD by the Board and I can’t unhear…

We as Community for Community have the opportunity RIGHT NOW to demand ATTENTION be paid to the INTENTION of the mission statement and interrupt the status queue. Or we can fulfill on Einsteins warning: “The world is a dangerous place, not because of those that do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.”

The mission statement of the North County Recreation District (NCRD): To promote the educational, recreational, social and physical well being of the entire North Tillamook County community by offering activities for all ages and abilities in an inviting environment.

Swing by and see how inviting/accessible the pickle-ball courts are if you use a wheelchair?

VOTE NO FOR CHANGE!

Good value for a darn near, new condition vacuum. In Manzanita – $80 – works flawlessly. I can email you more photos – photos loading here were janky.

NEW Pendleton Blanket: Raven and the Box of Knowledge

$350 NEW IN BOX WITH TAGS
Text only, please include name of blanket
(971) 701-7766
Located in Rockaway Beach

A blanket with a story to tell, based on a work by artist Preston Singletary. The image represents Raven, a shape shifter and trickster. In the story, the old chief who lived at the head of the Nass River kept his precious treasures—the sun, the moon and the stars—in beautifully carved boxes. Raven steals the boxes and makes his escape into the night sky, carrying the sun in his mouth. The sun is a metaphor for enlightenment or knowledge. The ombred background shades meet at the center in vibrant colors of sun and light.

A portion of the proceeds from this blanket will be donated to the American Indian College Fund to help support tribal colleges.
