Civic Saturday Sermon

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: codger817@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Join us Saturday, November 8 at 10 am for Tillamook County’s version of “Civic Saturdays” with Jim Heffernan hosting. The sermons explore new and better ways to be a citizen. They are aimed at developing “citizenship muscle. We will need “muscle” to bring power back to “We the People”, where it belongs. Each sermon functions as a stand-alone sermon. Don’t worry about missing earlier sessions.
This week’s sermon, number 19 of 19, is “Reading Our Country” and is 38 minutes long. Eric Liu finishes the series talking about reading as a way to understand ourselves and our country. He talks about four works that he found instructive and that explore corners of history we tend to gloss over and ignore. He does not stray from his central point, that if we are to heal our politics, we need to do it ourselves with an amalgam of hope, optimism, and love, especially love. He closes out his book with this line, “Look at one another for a spell. Read each other’s eyes and, through them, see what our country can be.”
We can talk about the sermon afterwards, or not.
Sermon was first given on August 4, 2018, but, sadly, little has changed in the last seven years. I think what he has to say applies to 2025 maybe more than it did 2018.

A big shoutout to Trump for making the wealth disparity crisis graphically and viscerally clear to each and every American. We simply could not better understand the problem without him. So bravo.

Leaving no doubt about his intentions, after knocking down the hornet nest he proceeds to vigorously shake it with flight cancellations. Again, thanks for making it crystal clear to Americans.

Democrats talk a lot about inclusion, but what we really want and in fact desperately need is an “inclusive economy” in which those currently struggling or left out can play a fulfilling part. It should be clear now that wealth disparity is causing jobs to disappear or become depressingly inadequate. I think big box stores, mega corporations, and tech bros play a major part, and to counteract the damage in their wake we should focus more on local communities.

Holiday Thought

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

As we enter the holiday season, it’s important to remember to show kindness and understanding to those around us. While many people look forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas, this time of year can also be difficult for some. Not everyone feels joy during these months, and being mindful of others’ feelings can make a real difference.

Practicing empathy is especially important when things don’t go as planned—whether it’s unexpected, bad weather or daily frustrations. Instead of rushing to criticize or getting upset, take a moment to pause and “chill.” Many of us are fortunate to have secure housing, enough food, and a warm place to stay, which isn’t the case for everyone. A simple act, like greeting someone with a smile or asking how they’re really doing at the post office or grocery store, can help brighten someone’s day. Go a step further by truly listening to their response and offering encouragement. If you see them again, follow up and ask how they are managing.

Supporting our community is vital, especially as many organizations work hard to address food insecurity during these colder months. If you’re able, consider volunteering at a local food bank, donating non-perishable items, or spreading the word about community resources. Even if you receive frequent requests for help, please remember that these efforts are ongoing because the need remains. Your involvement can have a lasting impact. And, as we continue to advocate for everyone’s well-being and rights, let’s stay patient and compassionate throughout this season and beyond.

Thankyou, Patty

This Saturday The People vs. Agent Orange Movie at the Tillamook Library

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: Rhonda.nccwp@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
This Saturday North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection (NCCWP) will be showing the film The People vs. Agent Orange at the main branch of the Tillamook County Library located at 1716 3rd Street in Tillamook on Saturday, November 8th at 1pm. Doors open at 12:30pm with the film starting at 1pm. We hope you can join us.

The Agent Orange catastrophe did not end with the Vietnam War. Today, the world over, a primary chemical of the notorious defoliant controls weeds in farming, forestry, parks, along railbeds and roadways, and even in children’s playgrounds. The pesticide can wreak havoc on the human genome, causing deformities and deadly cancers.

This investigative documentary interweaves personal with political struggles as it follows two heroic women who are leading a worldwide movement to hold manufacturers of these pesticides accountable.

After the film, people will have opportunities to learn more about the pesticide-related challenges Oregonians continue to face, especially in the fight to keep surface drinking water safe. Carol Van Strum and Susan Swift, two of the activists starring in the film, will be on hand to answer questions after the movie.

Trailer: https://vimeo.com/user37094368/review/460648960/ebcfe738a1

NCCWP wants no more logging and pesticide use in community water sources regardless of who owns the land, and wants an end to pesticide applications near where people live, work and recreate. Safe drinking water and clean air are part of the public trust that we all are entitled to have.

3rd annual Gathering in Cannon Beach celebrates Native American Heritage Nov 15 and 16

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: wattchildress@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
Here we go friends! November 15 and 16! Come join us!

The Gathering, a celebration of Native American Heritage Month, returns to Cannon Beach for a weekend of art, film, conversation and more. In its third year, the event features a mix of indigenous voices, including filmmaker Katsitsionni Fox (Akwesasne Mohawk Nation), storyteller Karen Kitchen (Osage Nation), scholar Brad Mix (Red River Métis), poet Cliff Taylor (Ponca) and more.
All Gathering events are offered free of charge. Donations are encouraged.

At 7PM on Saturday, November 15th, award winning director Katsitsionni Fox will premiere her upcoming documentary, “Kanenon:we – Original Seeds,” at the Coaster Theatre. The short film follows women responsible for caretaking of traditional seeds whose existence is threatened by centuries of colonial practices. The film explores food security, environmental disconnection, climate change, land theft and more. Following the screening, Fox will be joined by Cliff Taylor for a Q&A.

Earlier on Saturday, the Cannon Beach Library hosts a family-friendly storytelling event with educator Karen Kitchen at 1PM. With traditional stories and song, Kitchen engages children and learners of all ages. Children will also be able to experiment with and make their own indigenous instruments.

On Sunday. November 16th, the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum welcomes Brad Mix for a presentation entitled “Reclaiming the Mixed Blood Story” at 11AM. This conversation will explore mixed-blood identity, not only within the Métis Nation but across Indigenous and mixed-heritage communities today.

“This discussion isn’t just about Métis history,” says Zoe Swain, Cultural Outreach Coordinator at the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum and Gathering co-organizer. “It’s also about mixed ancestry more broadly. The question of ‘how Indigenous are you?’ can be deeply painful for many people of mixed heritage. What’s so inspiring about the Métis Nation is how they celebrate being both European and Indigenous, embracing that dual identity as strength, not conflict.”

The Gathering is produced by Cannon Beach community nonprofits, including: The Tolovana Arts Colony, Cannon Beach History Center & Museum, The Coaster Theatre Playhouse and the Cannon Beach Library. Sponsored by Escape Lodging.
For more information contact the Tolovana Arts Colony at tolovanaartscolony@gmail.com or 541-215-4445.

We gratefully acknowledge the Clatsop and Nehalem/Tillamook Peoples on whose ancestral homelands we gather!

SCHEDULE: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15

1PM – Family Storytelling with Karen Kitchen @ The Cannon Beach Library (131 N Hemlock, Cannon Beach, OR 97110)

7PM – Film Premiere: “Kanenon:we – Original Seeds” followed by Q&A with Director Katsitsionni Fox @ The Coaster Theatre Playhouse (108 N Hemlock St, Cannon Beach, OR 97110)

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16

COMMUNITY ALERT – Be a lifeline for local families in need!

5 weeks plus of the Government Shutdown results in hungry neighbors and there are absolutely no winners in this game. With SNAP benefits cut in half and food banks serving at least twice as many people, we are asking you to make your most generous gift today.

We are very lucky to live where we do as so many people are stepping up with donations, cash, and such to help provide food for many in our community and we are asking you to KEEP GIVING. Every can of food or dollar donated helps a local family in need.

HOW TO HELP:

Mail a check to North County Food Bank (NCFB)
Drop off food at either North County Food Bank or Nehalem Bay Community Services Food Pantry
Drop off clean clothing, bedding and blankets at Nehalem Bay Community Services Food Pantry (Currently the NCFB cannot take clothing.)
Drop off any donations at the North County Resistance PROTEST on Saturday, November 8, noon to 2PM, at the main intersection in Nehalem – we will get the donation where you want it to go

North County Food Bank, PO Box 162, Wheeler, Oregon 97147

Nehalem Bay Community Services Food Pantry, PO Box 232, Nehalem, Oregon 97131. This Food Pantry is open Monday, Friday, and Saturday from 10 AM to 2 PM and on Wednesday from 1 PM to 5 PM.

Both organizations are stepping up to help in this crisis. Last week, one participant shared how receiving food from the pantry made a difference for their family. Moments like these remind us that we are better together—thank you for being part of this caring community.

Ideas for giving food include: breads, cereal, meats, frozen meals, eggs, cottage cheese, yogurt, fresh produce, canned fruits and vegetables, canned meats, peanut butter and jelly, soup, chili, catsup, mayo, flour, sugar, yeast, to just name a few items. Consider a box of food to feed a family of 4 for a day or two. You get the drift and the gift! Save your receipts for a tax deduction if you qualify.

Thanks to this generous community for all your donations and support so far. We have three weeks until Thanksgiving. Kids will be out of school with no breakfast or lunch they would normally get at school on Thursday and Friday. How can you help with that? What would your kids want?

Interested in joining our PROTEST? Read on:

We will be PROTESTING once again on November 8, in Nehalem, from noon to 2 PM. We will gather at the main intersection in Nehalem; parking is available nearby. Look for our signs and friendly faces to join in. We do hope you will join us. My phone is showing me it will be cloudy and cool. The 21 people who met last Saturday to PROTEST got a little wet. It was fine when we started and then there was a mad dash to cars to get the rain gear on. So, dress in layers and don’t forget the rain gear. Bring your signs if you have some—we always have some to share. I like to bring a chair, but with the rain last week sitting was not so comfortable. When 2 PM came last week we all gave a huge cheer to one another.
Best,
Patty Rinehart

Chair Lost on Highway

A springy bent wood chair with off white pad disappeared out of the back of our pickup last week during a move from Wheeler to Bayside Gardens. We have looked in all the gullies and ravines along 101. So either it bounced so spectacularly that it landed on the other side of blackberry hedges or someone found it, imagined it abandoned and took it home. If you have it, please arrange to return it.

SNAP FRAUD

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: dixiedarrow@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
(Not Manzanita Dixie)

Key Details from USDA Findings 
In court filings, a USDA official described a preliminary review of state data that found several types of potential fraud and abuse, including: 
300,000 potential instances of deceased individuals still enrolled in SNAP.
Over 500,000 instances of “dummy” Social Security numbers being used.
Households receiving multiple payments or individuals receiving benefits in multiple states. 

Undocumented Immigrants and SNAP: 
Federal law prohibits undocumented immigrants from receiving SNAP benefits; generally, only U.S. citizens and eligible legal residents can receive them. However, the USDA has made this a focus of recent crackdowns following a presidential executive order. 

Government Shutdown: The current government shutdown, which started in October 2025, has added urgency to the situation, with the USDA Secretary making the fraud findings public as a means to encourage congressional action on funding and program reform. The lack of a funding resolution threatens to disrupt benefits for millions of Americans.

Classic Street, Council Meeting tomorrow, and comment on Randy Kugler posting of 11/3/25

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: fire.jousts0z@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
Regarding the insights about the law for Collector streets being 22′ wide vice the narrow 20′ proposed by the CM, the following could be the only solution to have a 22′ road:
Make the walkway 48″. This gives you a 22 foot wide road.
“Key ODOT rules and requirements
Other relevant factors 
* Minimum width: A typical public walkway minimum width is 48 inches, allowing two people to walk side-by-side”
Simple, no?
This would also up the safety factor for pedestrians as vehicles would have extra room that could prevent crashes and incidental injury to pedestrians. Bicycles, as the speed limit is 20MPH and there are traffic smoothing bumps to slow traffic. Perfect for mixing in bikes and keeping the path for pedestrians only.
Hope the Council members can do something for the long-term safety of pedestrians as well as the increasing traffic.
Of course, the State will be fronting $2.7 million of the $3 million cost for this. Manzanita could have had, for a decent dollar amount additional, (and there’s a lot of money in the Manzanita City reserves that could have been used) a retaining wall on the west that would have retained the blacktop from slumping on the west.
And, oh by the way, the downhill “hotel” construction will be starting soon, and that steep slope (over 30 degrees in places) will be close to or part of the construction effort. So now, with a new structure downhill, that west retaining wall will never be built.
But, as I wrote recently, it is too late, and the Council has already congratulated itself (see it on the video) and the CM for the “workarounds”. Well, it was a workaround to diss the $400,000 cost of design of a nationally known engineering company. And so it goes. Classic.
