Peace on Earth
“Until we disarm our hearts,
the war will never stop.”
Author Unknown
I have walked down broken steps
into rooms where their harnesses
hung, motionless and deeply stained.
What I have seen I cannot unsee.
I will not forget these memorials
to slow torture, nor listen to the
repeating lies honoring our young
soldiers marketing their righteous
death. We all know and have now
witnessed the injustice of continuing
exodus and still hear voices
that were lost, taken for their dignity
and common sense. As we remember,
let us now welcome all the ancient
fears, awakening to the enduring call
to heal and abandon hate.
As this is done, days will come
when we shall no longer run
from the roots of war, turning away
from what will always be true:
We can open our eyes and see.
Thanks to each one of you for showing up,
doing what you can. Our work is only
beginning.
Please reply to my email.

We’ll be discussing how we can protect our local drinking water sources—such as Jetty Creek and the Nedonna Beach aquifer, how we can unite to preserve the Nedonna Beach wetlands from development, and ways to build stronger community engagement.
Come join us on Tuesday, June 24, at our monthly meeting. Bring your ideas and suggestions for future educational presentations. We’ll be discussing the opportunity to bring the film “The People vs Agent Orange” to our community: a documentary from award-winning directors that follows the story of two activists from opposite sides of the globe as they fight to bring accountability to the industry that brought us the deadly poison. The movie is Inspirational.
We’ll have an update about the June 17 Land Use Board of Appeals hearing: “Oral Argument 2025-001 Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition v. City of Rockaway Beach.” You can view the recording by using this link: www.youtube.com/@landuseboardofappeals8802/streams (The City of Rockaway Beach waived appearing at the hearing.) A decision from LUBA is expected in mid-July. Thanks to everyone who submitted testimony regarding protecting the Nedonna Beach wetlands.
Everyone is welcome at these monthly NCCWP meetings—your voice matters! We hope to see you there.
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. Please help North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection safeguard and restore our drinking watersheds. www.healthywatershed.org | www.facebook.com/NCCWATERSHEDPROTECTION For more information or to unsubscribe, contact rockawaycitizen.water@gmail.com
Our sweet two year old is learning language quickly, and we’d like to expose him to a second language sooner rather than later. We’re looking for somebody who is multilingual, enjoys spending time with children, and would be willing to spend some time with him each week. Our preferred languages would be Spanish followed by French, but we’re open to others as well.
If interested, please let me know your availability and rates.
If you’re not interested, but you have other local language resources to recommend, I’d love to hear about that too!
Thanks,
Ben
