A valued community member brought to my attention my acknowledgement of candidates did not include those who ran unopposed. Given I am a commitment the NCRD and all in our 3 Villages endorse Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility (DEIA) as core values, it was an eye opener to see how easily people can be overlooked and the rigor it will take.

Candidates, please accept this acknowledgement of appreciation for those who have been in positions and saw their contribution was needed and wanted such that they applied again, thank you.

The instructor will provide plenty of materials to choose from to begin, but the process should emphasize found materials as the main focus.

You are encouraged to have a vision of where your work is going as you gather. We will go out on the beach at the beginning of the first class to gather materials. The rest of class time will be spent assembling the mosaics and making collages with remaining materials.

Erin for NCRD and more

Submitted By: constance@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
Dear Community,

The majority of ballots are counted, I am calling Erin Laskey-Wilson the ‘winner’ for the NCRD Board of Directors, position 2 and Damn! We both ran good, clean races. Erin will bring an intelligent, committed, and youthful energy to her position, which the board needs. I am proud of my campaign, I am proud to have been engaged and I’m grateful for those in my community who saw me, saw my commitment for the NCRD being for All. If you voted for me. Thank you!

Impressively, from our 3 Villages alone we had 11 candidates throw in their hats! They include Teah Laviolette; Erin Laskey-Wilson; Mary Leverette; Michael Howes; Mary Faith Bell; Landon Myers; Melissa Bayouth-Real; Betsy McMahon; Mary Gallaghar and Mark Johnson. We all chose to ENGAGE on this court of civic service. Regardless of who we individually voted for or endorsed, I am inspired by the commitment, courage and willingness of each and every one of us.

Last night the NCRD held a Town Hall for the new pool. Except, it was more of a presentation of why we need the pool and the value of the swim program. Have they forgotten it was THIS Community who passed a multi-million dollar bond two years ago to build the new pool? We know the value of the pool, we know the value of the swim program for our children. I believe this was a missed opportunity.

When the meeting became heated over decisions made without input from neighbors who are directly affected, Jack showed up as Jack shows up. I believe in an attempt to counter Jack’s dismissive responses, I was pleased and encouraged both Erin and Michael asked questions for working with and looking with those impacted for possible options. Mary suggested another meeting specific to these concerns be created, again not dismissing concerns and showing a willingness to hear. This is all our Community wants!

It is time Jack’s bullying, nature and disrespect of both community concerns and our voices being heard, be stopped. This board needs a Chair/President who creates surety for the context that Community Voices MATTER.

As a VERY concerned community member, committed to the NCRD being the best it can be AND supported by ALL in our 3 villages and beyond, I am making a request. At the upcoming June board meeting on Thursday June 8th at 6pm, I request Jack announce he will not accept a nomination to be Chair (President) of the NCRD Board of Directors. In July, regardless of Jack accepting/declining this request, I request Erin or Michael to nominate Frankie Knight or Mary Gallagher for the Chair position and a new Chair be elected. Jack is on the Pool Oversight committee. Jack has a banking background. Jack would do well as the Treasurer. Jack would do less harm.

The 5 year Operations Tax Levy is coming up in November, we just passed the NBHD bond creating competition for those tax dollars…if Jack remains as Chair I assure you, votes which may be necessary for its passage, may be lost.

12 ANGRY JURORS Opens Friday, June 2 in Nehalem

By Ellis Conklin

It is 1957, a hot summer day in New York City. Dr. Seuss’s Cat in the Hat is soon to become that year’s best-seller, DAMN YANKEES has crowds pouring into Broadway theaters, the Giants and Dodgers are playing their final season in the Big Apple, and, in a few months, the world will change forever when the Soviet Union launches Sputnik-1, the earth’s first artificial satellite.

Meanwhile, on this sweltering late afternoon, a gripping, suspenseful courtroom drama is unfolding inside a claustrophobic New York jury room, giving a startled audience a behind-the-scenes glimpse at how jury deliberations take place during a murder trial.

12 ANGRY MEN was initially broadcast as a television play in 1954 and proved so popular that it was adapted for the stage. Three years later the acclaimed Hollywood director Sidney Lumet directed the well-received screen adaptation of 12 ANGRY MEN, starring Henry Fonda.

A 19-year-old man, a tenement-dwelling Hispanic, has just gone through a six-day trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. “He doesn’t stand a chance,” mutters the guard as the 12 jurors are led into a bleak, sweltering jury room.

It looks like an open-and-shut case – until one of the
jurors begin sowing seeds of reasonable doubt in the others’ eyes.

Tempers flare, arguments grow heated, and the jurors, several of who nearly come to blows, become 12 angry jurors! 

At the outset of deliberations on this stifling summer afternoon, 11 jurors deliver “guilty” verdicts and only one submits a verdict of “not guilty.”

Juror #8, masterfully played by Sue Neuer, urges the others to rethink their position and to take their time doing so – this despite impatient and clownish Juror #7’s (Jon Helzer) plea that he has tickets to see DAMN YANKEES on Broadway and wants this ordeal to end sooner than later.

But, argues Neuer, “a young life is at stake”. Neuer demonstrates that the murder weapon – a switchblade – is hardly as unique as the prosecution claimed, and the eldest Juror, #9 (Ellis Conklin) shocks his fellow jurors by joining her in a “not guilty” vote.

Soon, Juror No. 5 (Walter Mills) also changes his verdict to “not guilty,” and slowly but surely the dominos fall in favor of the 19-year-old.

In the end, those that will not abide by any evidence that perhaps creates reasonable doubt are Juror #3, Bryan Churchill, who delivers a mesmerizing performance, Juror #4, Bryonie Arnold, and Juror #10, Jacob Merwin, who,
unlike the other jurors, demonstrates no real change in character and remains tainted by unbridled, unremorseful racism.

The juror’s final verdict and how they reach it will electrify audiences and keep them on the edge of their seats and adds up to a fine, mature piece of dramatic literature that is not to be missed.

In essence, this is a play about 12 people in charge of deciding, not the guilt or innocence of this young man, but only whether there is reasonable doubt.

If there is one underlying theme to 12 ANGRY JURORS, it may be that anything is possible. As Juror #9 wisely puts it during one memorable scene in Act 2, he says of Juror #8’s decision early on to become the lone “not guilty” vote: “It takes a great deal of courage to stand alone
even if you believe in something very strongly.”

Tickets for the 9-performances are available now and you don’t want to miss this!

Meet The Cast of Riverbend Players Production of 12 ANGRY JURORS: Linda Olsson

Submitted By: frank@wandascafe.com – Click to email about this post
After a 7-year hiatus, Linda Olsson is thrilled to once again be performing with Riverbend Players.

When not seeking the limelight, Linda can be found tending her garden, watching birds, and strolling the beach utterly immersed in the natural beauty and splendor of life on the Oregon Coast.

Linda is the proud mother of 3, lives in Manzanita and is enjoying her retirement.

Based on the award-winning movie 12 Angry Men:

On a hot summer day after a lengthy trial, a jury must decide whether a 19-year-old man is guilty of murdering his father.

The jury votes 11-1 that the man is guilty of the crime, but the law requires a unanimous vote by all 12 jurors to pass judgment.

Tempers flare as the eleven jurors try to convince the 1 dissenter to come to their side.

As the evidence is re-examined, however, new uncertainties come to light, forcing everyone to truly question whether there is some measure of “reasonable doubt”.

Twelve Angry Jurors is a courtroom thriller that puts you on the edge of your seat while powerfully exploring what it means to live in a democracy.

Meet The Cast of Riverbend Players Production of 12 ANGRY JURORS: Juli Stratton

Submitted By: frank@wandascafe.com – Click to email about this post
Juli’s Riverbend Players’ acting debut came in 2022’s ARSENIC & OLD LACE.

More recently she was a Foley Artist (sound effects) for IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE and played the part of Stanley in this spring’s BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS.

Juli is passionate about community volunteering and being a big part of Riverbend Players.

Juli and her wife live in Manzanita with their 3 fur kids.

Based on the award-winning movie 12 Angry Men:

On a hot summer day after a lengthy trial, a jury must decide whether a 19-year-old man is guilty of murdering his father.

The jury votes 11-1 that the man is guilty of the crime, but the law requires a unanimous vote by all 12 jurors to pass judgment.

Tempers flare as the eleven jurors try to convince the 1 dissenter to come to their side.

As the evidence is re-examined, however, new uncertainties come to light, forcing everyone to truly question whether there is some measure of “reasonable doubt”.

Twelve Angry Jurors is a courtroom thriller that puts you on the edge of your seat while powerfully exploring what it means to live in a democracy.

Directed by Frank Squillo.
