Thank You to the magazine donator!!

Thank You!! To whoever the kind person is who is donating the Atlantic magazines to the rack at the transfer station! Some of us aren’t able to afford the subscription prices of these wonderful bastions of truth in reporting news and events these days.
I am aware of the costs and difficulties of producing and disseminating printed media vs online and interweb, but having more than one
honest source of factual information can become quite expensive- ie Wired magazine, which I am a subscriber and donate to the rack-or to be required to be subscribed for a fee to other media outlets, etc.
A recent segment about the “dead internet” on NPR detailing how more and more content is bot or AI generated, with no human being behind its creation is quite troubling- just one more reason to lean on the factual reporting in the Atlantic and Wired magazines.
We should all be mindful of what we are fed on the interweb- other entities trying to manipulate us…
Get out and Vote based on legitimate FACTS!

LIVE THEATER – The Silent Measure continues it’s premiere thearical run in Cannon Beach!

Submitted By: info@northcoastcreativeforum.com – Click to email about this post
Following an acclaimed debut at the NCRD Performing Arts Center in Nehalem, writer and director Bryan Churchill’s new multimedia play, The Silent Measure, is heading to Cannon Beach and Astoria this late summer and fall.
Audience response following the Nehalem premiere has been overwhelmingly resonant. “The biggest takeaway has been how deeply it’s sticking with people,” says Churchill. “Days after the curtain closed, audience members were still coming up to talk about the dialogue, the acting, and the questions the story leaves behind.”
We are living through a strange moment in our collective history. The tools we’ve built to assist us have quietly learned to anticipate us while silently taking over our lives, turning up the pressure on what it means to be conscious, alive, real, even loved. This play is about what happens when our interactions with technology get pressed to the point where something has to give.
The play centers on Carmen Novak—a scientist studying extinction—and her autonomous AI assistant, IRIS. As the two confront buried grief and the blurring line between human and machine.
Novak is played by North Coast veteran and award-winning actor Cyndi Fisher, opposite local actor Pamela Cromwell as IRIS.
Upcoming Performances:
Cannon Beach: Coaster Theatre | August 13, 14 & 15, 2026
Astoria: Ten Fifteen Productions | September 10, 11 & 12, 2026
Tickets are available at the door and online at www.thesilentmeasure.com.

Manzanita Development Company Is At It Again

Submitted By: weezerfansixtynine@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
If you’ve been around the public bathrooms recently and looked at the wall, you might have noticed the planning commission will soon be voting to approve another subdivision in the Highlands development.

From my understanding, the planning commission will vote to recommend the development (or not) and the city council will vote on the matter at a later date. I have doubts that either council will vote against this development, as the previous 70-acre development was approved unanimously at both meetings, but the citizenry can at least give their thoughts on the matter.

I, as a nature-loving person, will be sending the commission my criticisms of the development and I hope others will as well. If you care about free and open natural spaces; if you think animal habitat matters; if you think nature has substance, let the developers, commissions, and councils know that you oppose them turning it into vacation homes, roads, and parking spots for rich out-of-towners. The land is far more valuable than all that.

For further details, go visit the public bathrooms.

Thanks!

Norman Sylvester in Cannon Beach this Sunday, July 26th

Submitted By: tolovanaartscolony@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Legendary Bluesman Norman Sylvester Performs a Free Concert in Cannon Beach’s Downtown City Park on Sunday, July 26th

Known as the “Boogie Cat,” Sylvester was inducted into the Oregon Music Hall of Fame in 2011. He’s shared stages with a who’s-who of the blues, including BB King, Buddy Guy, Mavis Staples and more.

The “Boogie Cat” was born in Bonita, Louisiana, where he began singing gospel in church. At the age of 12, the Sylvester family boarded the Union Pacific train for a new life in the Pacific Northwest.

As legend has it, a twenty-something Norman attended a concert of Buddy Guy and talked his way on stage. After Norman’s performance, Guy encouraged him to devote himself to a career in music.

Besides performing regularly, Sylvester and his band teaches blues history in local schools and mentors young artists.
This free, family friendly concert begins at 5:00PM. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets, low-backed chairs and fully stocked picnic baskets.

The park is located in downtown Cannon Beach, northeast of the Chamber of Commerce at 2nd & Spruce.

The concert is produced by the Tolovana Arts Colony and made possible by a Community Grant from the City of Cannon Beach.

Seeking Help or Info about Bee Relocation

Submitted By: sheila.bayside@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
An in-ground bee nest was discovered upon pulling large kale plants out of a raised garden bed that is located right next to my house. These are the little in ground bees that are pollinators. These are not wasps or hornets. I imagine they have loved living here because they have been surrounded by 24 winter garden kale plants left to go to flower this spring and a large rosemary that is frequently in flower.
However, now what? Their presence in ground home is preventing me from cleaning out and replanting my veggie garden in the raised bed. Is it possible to relocate them? Does anyone know of anyone who does this?
Seeking any help: information? referral? service?
Thank you, Sheila in Bayside Gardens
