News from the Nehalem Bay Health District

Health District Issues Care Center RFP for Construction Management/General Contractor

(Wheeler) – The Nehalem Bay Health District has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for construction management and general contractor services related to the renovation of the region’s only skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in Wheeler, Oregon.

The successful proposer will join the District’s team working on the renovation of the Nehalem Valley Care Center, a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility, and the only facility of its kind on the Oregon coast between Astoria and Newport.

Notice of the availability of the RFP was advertised in the Daily Journal of Commerce on June 5, the standard Oregon site for solicitations of construction services. The RFP is also posted on the District’s website.

The current renovation plan included major upgrades to mechanical, electric and plumbing infrastructure at the Care Center, new flooring, lighting, additions of shower and hygiene rooms, painting and more. The design work for the project is being done by Scott Edwards Architects, the Portland firm that designed the new Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy. Subject to available funding a second phase of renovation may follow.

“The renovation is designed to extend the useful life of the facility far into the future,” said Health District president Marc C. Johnson, “as well as enhance the care and living experience for residents and the working environment for staff.”

The Health District has made a priority of improving local health and senior care on the north coast and has received extensive support from the community, from the Oregon congressional and Tillamook County legislative delegations, from Oregon foundations and many individual contributors.

The Nehalem Valley Care Center was built in the early 1980’s and remains a vital community asset. The building was constructed with all private rooms, a highly desirable feature in such facilities, but has long needed upgrades and improvements.

Over the last 18 months the Care Center laundry room was updated with new equipment and flooring, and new water heaters were installed in the building. Foundation settling in an area of the south wing of the building was stabilized and leveled preparing this area to be renovated in a second phase of the project.

Phase one of the Care Center renovation, estimated at approximately $3 million, will be financed by local general obligation bond funding that was overwhelmingly approved by District voters in 2023, as well as by funding from the Oregon legislature, private foundations and other donations.

Under the current timeline planning for the renovation, including permitting from Tillamook County and the state of Oregon, will continue through the summer and fall with construction commencing very early in 2027.

If you have questions about the renovation or wish to participate in some way, including contributing to various aspect of the project please let the District now by email at: info@nehalembayhd.org

Dungeons & Dragons day camp

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Roll for initiative! A Dungeons and Dragons role-playing game summer camp for kids is gearing up for adventure June 29-July 3rd.
D&D Diversions will be a day camp for children age 12 and older to create their own characters and cooperatively participate in popular role-playing games (RPGs) with other children in a fun, safe, welcoming environment.
“We take anyone that can be kind at the table and wants to be there,” Camp Director Tiffany Craft said.
Four years ago, Craft helped begin a Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) club at her son’s middle school and it has grown to include 28 children.
“We kind of resemble the island of misfit toys because we get so many different types of kids that would have never spoke otherwise suddenly searching for treasure together or saving the day together,” Craft said. “Kids that don’t have a voice anywhere else get to be in control of their characters and escape their daily drama to just play.”
Rust&Stardust Society, in which Tiffany Craft is partnering with Patrick Heelan providing gaming opportunities to interested folks ranging from birthday parties to the D&D Diversions summer camp. Craft is currently working with her favorite game master Heelan to offer a dozen different RPG options, of which D&D is one of.
“Whether you have never played before but always wanted to or you are rusty and haven’t dusted off your dice in decades,” Craft said, “We are ready to game with you.”

Qigong at NCRD has a seasonal health focus

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: wingsforwisdom@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hello Community,

Reminder to join us for qigong now in the Riverview room at NCRD in the main building. You can check with the front desk if you don’t know where that is or if you need to get/renew membership, buy a class pass, or drop-in.

Also know, my qigong classes have a seasonal focus. For instance, as we shift from spring to summer, we move from the wood element to fire. (Liver/gallbladder channels move to heart, small intestine and triple warmer channels.) We use movements that bring ease and flow to these channels. Focusing on each energy in it’s season is the optimal time to make good repairs and tune-ups to the parts of the body that are served by those channels energy flow.

If you’re looking to reduce upper body tension, summer is a great time to balance the heart, refine things in our lives and balance our busy-ness with some soothing, flowing, qigong movement.

We’d love to have you join us.

Kindly,
Libby

Beach Cleanup Day: Clean Beaches, Healthy Ocean!

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: vicky@netartsbaywebs.org – Click to email about this post
Friends of Netarts Bay – WEBS and Oceanside Action Partnership invites community members, families, and visitors to join us on July 5th for a beach clean up from Cape Lookout to Cape Meares.
Volunteers will work together to remove marine debris and litter left behind after the Fourth of July festivities. Cleanups provide a great opportunity to come together as a community to make a positive difference; every piece of trash removed protects our local coastal ecosystems and prevents harm to seabirds, marine mammals, fish, and other wildlife. “Healthy beaches benefit both people and wildlife,” said Marina Dreeben, WEBS Stewardship Coordinator.
Check in begins at 10:00 a.m. Volunteers can start at The Schooner Restaurant or the upper parking lot at Oceanside beach; we will have check-in tables at both locations! Volunteers will be split into teams in order to cover as much area as possible!
AND be sure to stick around after the cleanup for a special treat just for volunteers – The Schooner will be grilling up fresh oysters from Pearl Point Oyster here in Netarts to thank you for keeping our coastal ecosystems clean!!
Volunteers should dress for the weather, wear sturdy footwear, and bring a water bottle. Gloves, trash grabbers, and a limited number of buckets will be provided. Please bring your own bucket if you have one!
As you head out to clean up or just explore, it is important to remember that ocean shores can be dangerous. Avoid logs in the water, keep your distance from marine mammals, and never turn your back on the ocean! If you find any hazardous material or unattended beach fires, please alert a staff member.
The event is free and open to the public. No previous experience is necessary, and volunteers of all ages are welcome. Youth under the age of 18 should be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Advanced registration saves time but is not required. To register and read more about this event, visit www.netartsbaywebs.org/events

Solid Surf 9’4″ Longboard- The Pinner

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: travelerr@msn.com – Click to email about this post
Solid Surf – Pinner Model – 9’4″. A couple of dings that have been repaired by the previous owner, and some yellowing on the bottom, but in pretty great condition overall! Watertight and ready for summer! I can include a board bag and a fin.
From the shaper:
A unique blend of old school feel with a touch of surprising performance. A pretty sensitive and engaging shape with a streamlined outline offering a bit more range than our LOG model. If you arent looking for that high performance longboard, but you want a bit more capacity than the old school LOG – this is your go to. Same rocker and rails as our LOG model which offer ease of paddling and crisp engagement with the face, but we’ve tucked in the shape so that it fits in a slightly steeper wave as well as is a bit more responsive and easy to maneuver. Kind of a swiss army knife of retro longboards. Garunteed good time.

Dodge Dakota Truck For Sale

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: janbehrs@hotmail.com – Click to email about this post
Red 2004 Dodge Dakota SXT Club Cab with low mileage 
New 2024 battery
2WD/4X4. Automatic. No topper.
63,000 miles.
Regularly maintained.
$5000.

This truck has been reliable transportation for all its years. Last 10 years serviced by Rick Scovel, if you want to ask him about it.
It does have glitches:  It likely needs a new fuel pump, because you need to pump the gas pedal to get it to start. The right disc on the tailgate needs to be manually turned in order for the tailgate to close. It has rust issues, as expected for its age. A couple minor scratches and a minor dent. Otherwise a great truck. Tried to post photos with no luck.
