You must be located in the Nehalem Bay region to sign up for this class.
Yellow Radio program is neighbors using small walkie-talkie type radios to communicate locally within their neighborhoods. Yellow Radios will allow neighbors to communicate about news, needs, and available local resources.
Communication is one of the most important components of emergency preparedness and response. In many emergencies, especially a major earthquake and tsunami like the anticipated Cascadia Subduction Zone event, usual communication pathways like landlines, cell phones, and the internet will be unavailable.
Register for a Yellow Radio class where you will learn how to operate your radio and communicate effectively in your neighborhood. Classes are also a great way to refresh your skills.

“The Truth about the Economics of Logging” Online Event

North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection (NCCWP), which advocates to protect our local drinking watersheds, is excited to announce an upcoming talk with economist Ernie Niemi,“The Truth about the Economics of Logging” Online Event. The event will take place online via Zoom on September 13 at 6:30 p.m. PT.
Here is the LINK TO REGISTER or at www.healthywatershed.org

For 40 years, Niemi has documented the external costs of timber production in the Pacific Northwest, with a special focus on timber workers, their families and their communities. He will speak with NCCWP about the realities of the economics of the logging industry as it currently stands, and realistic economic ways forward for our community that are not extractive and destructive. Neimi will explain why logging is no longer an economic growth factor for our communities—in fact it actually jeopardizes the real economic drivers on the coast, which are quality of life (clean air and water) and recreation in our beautiful forests, beaches and rivers. Niemi’s talk will address the need for economic considerations of climate change and the biodiversity crisis, and provide tips for speaking up about the value of our forests.

NCCWP is a grassroots group of concerned citizens advocating for no more logging, no more chemical spraying near our coastal drinking watersheds, regardless of land ownership (you can sign our petition (petitions.sumofus.org/p/healthywatershed) We are excited to host this event, which will help dispel some of the common myths about logging and the local economy, and provide insight on why it’s time to protect the great Pacific Northwest temperate rainforests from being used as money-makers for the corporate timber industry.

We look forward to seeing you on September 13 at 6:30pm on Zoom! LINK TO REGISTER or at www.healthwatershed.org.

Cannon Beach History Center & Museum
Honors Smithsonian’s Annual Museum Day with Trivia Contest

Cannon Beach, Oregon – Smithsonian’s Annual Museum Day is usually celebrated by offering free admission like the Smithsonian Institution’s Washington DC-based museums. So, what can the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum do to celebrate when admission is always free? Offer up a family-friendly fun day of trivia, of course. Join us Saturday, September 17, 2022 from 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. as we honor the Smithsonian Magazine’s Annual Museum Day, a nation-wide celebration of boundless curiosity.

Offering free admission on Museum Day represents a national movement to increase access, equity and inclusion. We are proud of the fact that Cannon Beach History Center & Museum offers donation-based admission every day. This allows everyone to explore our museum regardless of ability to pay. But as an extra bonus, to honor the spirit of the day, we are bringing back our popular trivia contest event. This is a great way to bond and maybe even win a prize.

The contest works like this. Each competitor can play once for free and can purchase a trivia card for $2 each thereafter. Each card contains ten questions that must be answered while in the Museum. No cell phone or internet searches are allowed! The correct answers to all ten questions are contained within the museum’s exhibits and displays. Can’t find the answer? Ask a staff member who will point you in the right direction. Honestly, you can’t lose, but you can only win once. The Museum will offer brain food in the form of Sleepy Monk coffee and a few light snacks. Writing materials and writing stations are provided throughout the museum.

The museum will be showcasing two temporary exhibits – Shipwrecks of the Oregon Coast and the Pacific Northwest Dirt Fishing exhibit. Our permanent exhibits feature a Native American Longhouse replica, the history of Cannon Beach, and the original cannon that gave Cannon Beach its name.
