Help needed with Fallen Trees

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: pangaeagaia@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Help! Two trees fell, out by the roots, during the wind storm on Christmas Eve. Ideally, I would like them cut up and hauled away, as I don’t need the wood. However, my concern is that if they should fall any further (one leaning against the neighboring spruce; the other close to falling on my chainlink fence), I will have to replace that section of fence, at the least.

I am willing to pay a reasonable price to save my fence, and an unreasonably low price to cut it all up and haul off. Please help while the weather holds! I cannot do the work myself and my friends are as old as me and cannot pitch in. Thanks!

please email so I can get back to you

MISSING “R”

Missing “R”
Has anyone seen Wheeler’s “R” ?
Hard to miss- large, white, looks like an upper case “D” with 2 legs.
May have taken off with some teens or decided to get a facelift in someone’s workshop.
I heard rumors it was hoping for an ocean view and wanted to take over the “A”
joining the letters in “ManzanitR” and has been in contact with the “G” on the hill in Garibaldi.

If you’ve realized there’s no place like home “R”
We still have a humble place for you in the marsh grass on the bay off the hwy. Please come home!
No questions asked.

I am urgently looking for a storage space, seeing local storage facilities have no vacancies. Ideal space would be 10’x 20 or larger. Does anyone have an empty garage or similar type space available? Not able to pay more than $100 per month. Ideally, I would like this storage space sooner than later, like tomorrow or Friday. Needed for approx 4-6months.
Please text 503.949.6349 (C) with any leads, thank you very much.

Author Liz Prato to Discuss Generation X at Cannon Beach Library

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: nmccarthy1276@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Northwest author Liz Prato is from Generation X, that population born between 1965 and 1980. It’s a generation, she says in her book, “Kids in America: A Gen X Reckoning,” that received many labels.
“We were called latchkey cynical lazy sarcastic flighty disaffected alienated easily-distracted late blooming self-involved aimless apathetic skeptical pessimistic self-medicating impatient angry uncommitted won’t-grow-up purposeless unreliable slackers,” Prato writes.
Gen X also was the last generation to live without fear of being gunned down in school, she notes.
Prato will discuss her book at 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 21 in the Cannon Beach Library. The free talk is part of the library’s NW Authors Series.
This is a hybrid event, available in person at the library or online via the library’s website: cannonbeachlibrary.org (click the banner at the top of the page). Masks are required at the author’s request.
Prato’s writings cleverly blend memoir and cultural critique and have been described as poetic, vivid and compelling. Her previous book, “Volcanoes, Palm Trees, and Privilege: Essays on Hawai‘i” was named a “top summer travel read” by the New York Times and was a finalist for the Oregon Book Award.
She is the author of the short story collection “Baby’s on Fire”; her stories and essays have appeared in dozens of literary journals and magazines.
Prato teaches writing, has guest lectured at several workshops and conferences, and is the
editor at large for Forest Avenue Press. She lives in Portland, and enjoys small presses, indie bookstores, community and palm trees.

Writers Read Deadline is Friday, Jan. 20: Hemingway Awaits!

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

It’s time to polish those entries for the Writers Read Celebration sponsored by the Cannon Beach Library. The deadline is Friday, Jan. 20.
Here’s the original news release and flyer for the event:
Suppose novelist Ernest Hemingway arrived at the Oregon coast and wanted to write about his experience in a maximum of 600 words. What would he write?
This year’s Writers Read Celebration, sponsored by the Cannon Beach Library, asks that question with the theme, “Hemingway at the beach: What Would He Say?”
Writers of all ages from all areas are invited to consider how or what Hemingway would say while at the beach. All written formats will be considered (essay, story, poetry, haiku, script, etc.) Authors are limited to three entries with a 600-word maximum per entry. The deadline for submissions is Jan. 20.
A panel of volunteer judges will select 10 to 12 works to be read by their authors either in person or online during the celebration March 10 in the library.
Hemingway wrote about his experiences using as few words as possible, and his novels and short stories have become classics. The Writers Read Celebration offers an opportunity to have fun with this writing style in any form; the piece can be serious, whimsical, tongue-in-cheek or thoughtful.
Submissions will be accepted by email at info@cannonbeachlibrary.org) or by mail (P.O. Box 486
Cannon Beach, OR 97110), though email is preferred.
Submissions should be in Word or PDF format and include a cover letter with the writer’s name, email and phone number. Please do not include the author’s name or contact information on the entry
document so authors remain anonymous during the judging process.
The NW Authors Series Committee sponsors monthly author presentations and other events at the Cannon Beach Library. This is the fifth year of the Writers Read Celebration. Previous themes were: “Life on the North Coast,” “The View from the North Coast,” “Pandemic” and “Recovery?.” Writers Read Celebrations on Zoom from 2022 and 2021 are available for viewing on Cannon Beach Library’s website.
