Mooring space for little boat in Nehalem Bay wanted

Howdy.

We’re looking for a spot here in Nehalem Bay to moor our little bay boat for the summer / fall. Long term and ideally, we’re looking for a spot to rent annually right here in Nehalem, but are open to the entire bay / estuary for now. The boat is 15ft, so not too large.

For those who don’t know us, my name is Justin Bailie and my wife is Ashley Mersereau and we live here in town (Nehalem). We both grew up in the area and have a small shop here in town (Wild Coast Goods).

Concerning the use of a dock, we’re both very respectful and responsible. Looking to rent space for a going rate and/or if there was a need, I’d be happy to work out a trade situation with my photography if you had a vacation rental and needed imagery, etc. You can see some examples of my work in my signature below.

Thank you for considering. Feel free to text me if you might have a spot.

Movie: Targeting Iran

Submitted By: bigbeach@gmx.com – Click to email about this post
Many in MAGA do not understand why the Iranians stormed the American embassy in Iran in the 70’s, yet they are still citing that event as a reason to go to war with Iran.

The CIA used the American embassy for ops when they overthrew the Swedish-educated democratically-elected fiercely capitalist Mosedegh in 1953. All Mosedegh wanted was a bigger cut of IRANIAN OIL, 25% I think. British Petroleum, who built much of the oil field infrastructure thought that too high, so the CIA and M16 overthrew Mosedegh and installed The Shah, a brutal dictator whose family Israel and Trump want to put back in power.

The CIA was still using the embassy as a base for ops in the 70s, the Iranians found out and stormed the embassy. I would do the same thing stateside if that happened here.

This and much more is addressed in my feature documentary Targeting Iran, which largely came about after Chuck McLaughlin of this website brought the author of Targeting Iran the book to the NCRD during his book tour. I met him and made the film with financing from an Egyptian/Australian whose family started the New Wafd Party in Egypt as well as the Bank of Cairo, before they were exiled from the country.

Anit-war film Targeting Iran: rumble.com/v650oqa-targeting-iran.html

It’s vey encouraging to see good anti-war Christians like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Steve Bannon, Dave Smith, Russel Brand, JP Sears all giving Trump serious hell for even considering attacking Iran, a country that poses zero threat to our national security.

Two days ago DNI Tulsi Gabbard, who’s appointment I cheered, opined that Iran DOES NOT have a nuclear weapons program. Trump simply said “I don’t believe her.”

MAGA needs to keep the pressure on Trump to stay the hell out of Iran.

IRAN

Submitted By: dixiedarrow@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
A little history:

In 1953, the CIA and British intelligence orchestrated a coup d’etat that toppled the democratically elected government of Iran. The government of Mohammad Mossadegh. The aftershocks of the coup are still being felt. This was the first time that our government interfered in another countries government. We do it all the time today. Regime change it is called and in my opinion, this is very wrong and causes lots of problems everywhere that effects he world in a negative way. We are the ones instrumental in putting the religious extremists in control of Iran. What we did ended up replacing a modern government with the religious extremists in today’s Iran.
So now a war will ‘fix” things? How many people killed?

Manzanita Solstice Farmers Market: Friday 4-7

Submitted By: info@manzanitafarmersmarket.com – Click to email about this post
It’s hard to believe, but we’re almost 1/3 of the way through the farmer’s market season. This Friday marks the summer solstice, which is the longest day of the year. Many people call this the start of summer, but from a farmer’s point of view summer is already well underway. These long days are exhausting and beautiful for our local growers, as they work hard to keep grass mowed, crops weeded and trellised, and (believe it or not) start to prepare for winter plantings.

The weather has been kind to our farmers recently, and each week we’re seeing new crops at the market. Cherries are well and truly here (and so juicy and sweet)! The earliest blueberries are here, along with raspberries and strawberries. I saw peas, cauliflower, and zucchini at market last week, and I hear word that there will be at least a few cucumbers this Friday. My personal favorite vegetable, basil, has joined the party, and it will just get more and more abundant. I’ve been making strawberry basil smoothies this week and it’s my new favorite thing!

For those of you chomping at the bit, tomatoes and peaches are still weeks away. But there’s so much amazing early summer produce to be had in the mean time. This is a great time of year to experiment with something you haven’t eaten before: ask our friendly farmers how they would prepare something you’ve never tried!

And as always, it’s not just about the produce. We’ve got preserved foods like pickles, jams, and dried fruit. We have goat’s cheese, smoked salmon, pasture raised meats and eggs. We’ve got hot prepared food, baked prepared food, packaged prepared foods, and fresh roasted coffee. We’ve got jewelry and textiles and candles and pottery. This week we are joined by KMUN Radio, the 4th of July Parade committee selling posters, and NCRD with kids’ activities. We’ve got live music and face painting!

Music this week is by Eric Sappington. Eric Sappington is a singer, songwriter and visual artist. He is a self-taught musician that plays 6- and 12-string guitars and harmonica. He has written and performed his own music for over 25 years – creating over 500 original compositions in various musical styles. He is the band leader and creative force behind MERCURY COAST. Eric’s visual art can be found on Instagram at ericsappingtonart.

See you at the market, Friday, 4-7, 635 Manzanita Ave!
