Plenty of parts as part of a large cast for Riverbend Players Community Theater’s holiday production of THE HOLIDAY CHANNEL CHRISTMAS MOVIE WONDERTHON, a funny spoof of the Hallmark and Lifetime Channels’ holiday movies.

We’re looking for actors of all experience levels who are ready to embrace big characters, holiday cliches, and a whole lot of fun.

Directed by Frank Squillo and written by Don Zolidis, the play is set in a cozy inn during the Christmas season.

The play follows six predictable yet intertwined love stories, filled with small-town charm, romantic misunderstandings, and holiday magic.

For all the details, visit our website:
www.riverbendplayers.org/auditions

Auditions are scheduled for this coming Thursday from 5:00-7:00 pm and Saturday from 4:00-6:00 pm at the NCRD Performing Arts Center.

All the talk about billionaires, and now this? Makes me think of the super villians portrayed in comic books of my youth. There is no Super Hero coming to save the world from them. It’s up to us, now.

Boycott Tesla, but be nice, and NO vandalism. Vote with dollars. And not just Tesla, if we are concerned that some billionaires are ravaging our society then why do we support them with our dollars?? We have choices.

Fall Covid Shots: Reply

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: bigbeach@gmx.com – Click to email about this post
Here is a differing view than Gene’s on fall covid shots:

In my view, Oregon, Washington and California were the three most-fascistic and anti-science states during the ‘covid’ debacle. The fascism and anti-science seemed to go hand in hand, to compliment each other somehow.

From governors and ‘health officials’ promoting unknown and experimental shots on the populace, shots that didn’t stop transmission of the engineered pathogen, shots that didn’t reduce severity of disease, shots that didn’t reduce deaths from ‘covid’, while simultaneously promoting highly-destructive and deadly riots (yes promoting), these three Democrat States are (still) the biggest losers of the pandemic.

The states that did not employ anti-science and fascistic tactics like bullying their populace to shoot unknown shots, like shutting down schools and masking their children, like putting 2,000 hard-working small business owners out of business, fared just as well, in terms of infection/infection severity/death numbers.

And those states avoided more childhood trauma than our west coast Democrat states. They didn’t lose retail like we have. They didn’t lose their downtowns like we did in Portland, L.A., and Seattle.

If you want more Big Pharma propaganda and Big Tech-tyranny, more needless school-closures and destruction of our children’s well-being, if you want to get rid of the street economy/retail in favor of Big Tech delivery, if you want another trillion dollars of our tax dollars going to the billionaires at Pfizer and Bill Gates’ ModeRNA, you can soon go here for instructions:

www.koin.com/news/health/oregon-california-and-washington-announce-formation-of-new-health-alliance/

If you want a wide-range of opinions, do your own research; what we used to call ‘going to the library’.

Only a fascist will tell you not to do your own research and to only trust them. (Fauci, Gates, west coast governors)

Here is one example of looking at a wide range of opinions:

The epidemiologist linked herein has a very different view of the ‘covid’ shots and the engineered virus than Pfizer/CNN/Kotek. He talks about things nobody in the soon-to-be so-called ‘health alliance’ will ever discuss.

Here are some quotes re: those ‘covid’ mRNA-shots that Big Pharma has yet to stop pushing:

“This is a synthetic gene-transfer platform.”

“The ‘cascade of harms’ has now been uncovered…”

“There is now genomic-integration happening.” 



“…you have your own body reproducing non-human proteins. That’s basically the definition of inducing auto-immune disease.”

“…those who got the vaccine and then got the infection were much worse off than those who just got the infection.”

It’s the spike proteins folks, from the shots AND the engineered SARS-CoV-2.

Fertility risk convo starts @42:00. It isn’t easy:

“Africa didn’t take any mRNA shots, thankfully…they had the best covid outcomes, they had the lowest covid deaths, they’re not getting turbo cancers, they’re having babies…they’re having a great time because they were not inoculated with synthetic gene platforms.”

rumble.com/v6yehm0-covid-vaccine-horror-fertility-destroyed-and-dna-altered-nicolas-hulscher-m.html?e9s=src_v1_sa%2Csrc_v1_sa_o%2Csrc_v1_ucp_a

Recommendations for busting up the spike proteins from the mRNA shots AND the engineered pathogen include Bromelain, curcumin (in turmeric) and natokinasse.

Recommendations for keeping the immune system functioning well include Vitamin ‘D’ (lots of sun and no shots are why Africa has best ‘covid’ outcomes), zinc, quercetin.

All of the above are available at Natural Grocers in Warrenton.

NCRD Aquatics Director Resignation

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: laura@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
To: NCRD Board of Directors, NCRD Staff, Friends, & Beloved Community,

Kindly accept this letter as my formal resignation as NCRD Aquatic Director on September 6, 2025. This decision was not made lightly.
It is only appropriate that I resign along with our cherished renaissance pool. We both are accomplished and resilient with historical significance.
The legendary Nehalem Pool leaves an indelible mark on our community. It is the light that guided us into the future and was the launching pad for the newly erected facility!
With this shift come changes, but let us not forget to honor its legacy and accomplished mission of teaching all the children in our community how to swim and be safe in and around the water.
I am incredibly grateful for the NCRD staff and our community for their trust and confidence while supporting my mission and vision throughout the years.
It has been my pleasure to serve our community. I have appreciated the reinforcement and inspiration from my colleagues and contemporaries.
As I reflect on my career as Aquatics Director, I am proud of the valuable accomplishment of my devoted service and accommodation to all our patrons.
To my coworkers past and present, you are the heart of the NCRD. I am endlessly proud of the work we have done together and I will always cherish the laughter, challenges, and triumphs we have shared.
In fulfilling my commitment to the School Swim Program and its educational value, I would like to continue in the capacity of instructor/consultant until a qualified candidate appears. I am a valuable resource, since I developed, created, and implemented the current School Swim & Water Safety program 35 years ago. My dedication to the program has been my life’s purpose and personal reward. It has been an honor to watch so many children find their confidence in the water and to celebrate these milestones in and out of the pool.
The generations of families who have benefited from the School Swim and Water Safety program is our Grand Prize……Mission Accomplished!
The new pool facility is an exciting trajectory into another 100 years of NCRD continuing its outstanding purpose as an esteemed organization for all! I am confident that it will succeed.
I am committed to a smooth transition and will do my best to help where needed.
I will remain a familiar face at the new pool, enjoying it alongside all of you.
Thank-you from the bottom of my heart for letting me be part of your lives. This is not goodbye—-it is just a new lane I will be swimming in.
I can let go……the water will still flow……And so will I……

With love and gratitude.
Sue Dindia-Gray

Fall Covid Shots

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: genedieken@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
I just heard from a friend in New Mexico about her experience as a 69-year-old trying to get a shot at her local Walgreens.

She had just gotten her yearly wellness exam and insisted that her physician write a prescription for the Covid jab. The doc of course was not prepared to do this because it’s not previously been needed, but did SIGN a covid info sheet in lieu of a prescription.

In line at Walgreens were many people waiting to get the jab. Most were turned away because of staff confusion about eligibility. One of the staff members seemed to think you could only get the jab if you have respiratory issues.

My friend was able to get the shot based only on the doctor-signed info sheet and a lot of determination.

So beware, RFK Jr and his merry band of eugenicists are following the Steve Bannon dictum of “flood the field with #@%^ when it come to Covid vaccinations. Get a prescription and ramp up your determination to get what you want

Kudos to the City of Manzanita

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: T.folen@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I wanted to acknowledge a very quick response i recently from the City of Manzanita. I contacted Rick Remper with a request to see if there was a possibility of reducing the lighting on the old fire/police station on 5th St. since it was no longer operating as the police station. I got a response from Mr. Remper the next day saying he would check in with Erik Harth to see what might be done. A few days later i got a followup email saying they were able to redirect the lights facing Dorcas Lane and to report on the lighting.. I responded that the other lights on 5th were the ones that were really bright. A few nights later i was on the upper deck enjoying a beautiful Manzanita evening and noticed a significant difference, the lighting had been reduced!
I found out that the sides of the lights were painted over so the lighting only pointed straight down.
I appreciate the results and the VERY quick responses from both of these individuals.
❤ Manzanita!
