On the Nehalem

This was written several years ago when we first joined our family to reside here. I continue to be amazed anew by the changes that come to us each Fall.

On the Nehalem

Autumn is offering its gold again.

All along the descending river

in gatherings of maple and alder,

a season’s leaves will soon join

the water’s quieting reflections.

Moving slowly downstream

through the open pasture lands

and nearing the end of its run,

river grows wide approaching the sea,

where urgent tides rush the shallow bars,

then sweep the old log moorings.

What has been supported, returns.

Enjoying the afternoon sun yesterday, one leg propped up on the other knee while sitting in a chair on the back deck, a small Cooper’s hawk suddenly appeared over my lap and fluttered in place briefly before flying off onto a nearby tree branch. I could see the color bands on its tail as the hawk sat there before flying away. It must have thought my bony chicken leg easy prey. Safe to say we were both rather surprised 🙂

The People vs. Agent Orange Film Playing in Tillamook

Submitted By: Rhonda.nccwp@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
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 toxic defoliant (dioxin) controls weeds in farming, forestry, parks, and playgrounds. It wreaks havoc on the human genome, causing birth 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. Please help North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection safeguard and restore our drinking watersheds. www.healthywatershed.org | www.facebook.com/NCCWATERSHEDPROTECTION
