New Book Club – The Ponderous Tome

Submitted By: tolovanaartscolony@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Ponderous Tome Book Club
(Coming in January, 2023)

Announcing a non-fiction book club for thoughtful citizens interested in the Climate Crisis, preserving constitutional democracy, and – in general – building a better society through thoughtful, pragmatic reform.

The Ponderous Tome Book Club will meet monthly, ten times a year – omitting December and once during the high season – to discuss books on a variety of topics, including:

History and Biography
The Climate Crisis and Species Extinction
Economics
Domestic and Global Politics
Economics
Education, Health, and the Future of Food
War and Peace

Stimulating discussion is expected, but civility will be the order of the day, with Benjamin Franklin’s precepts for the conduct of meetings as our inspiration.

We hope to attract participants from a broad range of rational perspectives – but we will draw the line at denialism and defeatism. We seek to expand our minds and our sense of the possible – not our lists of grievances and causes for despair. (A daily dose of news and social media furnish quite enough of the latter.)

Our first book will be The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams, published this October by Pulitizer Prize-winning biographer Stacy Schiff. (At 327 pages, not too ponderous.)

‘Rick Gray, organizer of the Ponderous Tome Book Club, is a native Virginian and, since 2018, a full-time resident of Cannon Beach. In a varied career, he has been – in order – a practicing attorney, Secretary of the Commonwealth of Virginia, a high school history teacher and administrator, a professional stage actor, an op-ed columnist, and a full-time caregiver for his mother. A lifelong student of history and frequent political activist, he sought the District 32 seat in Oregon’s House of Representatives in 2022.

Foster Kittens Seeking their Forever Homes

Submitted By: Mindyc3756@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
2 male foster kittens seeking their forever homes.
These guys are well socialized with people,
despite their rough start. They and their
sweet mama kitty and older sister kitty were
abandoned in Portland, and living in a sweet
woman’s garage. All had eye infections and
upper respiratory infections. Thanks to the
good folks at the Tillamook animal shelter
they received medical care, and are now healthy,
rambunctious, and ready for their new best
human friend/s! These two males are cuddly,
playful, and not mention totally adorable!
One is an orange heavy-weight (biggest in
the litter), the one is a smaller white/orange
pattern. Both are sweet and love cuddles and
pets. Both will need neutering in about 2-4
months to discourage spraying, roaming, and
of course adding to the already out of
control homeless cat population! They also
need their first round of shots. They are
approximately 8 weeks old. Their mama kitty
is also seeking a quiet home preferably with
no dogs and not a lot of chaos. Thanks for looking!

Hemingway at the Beach: Writers Read Celebration Asks What He Would Say

Submitted By: nmccarthy1276@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Suppose novelist Ernest Hemingway arrived at the Oregon coast and wanted to write about his experience in a maximum of 600 words. What would he write?
This year’s Writers Read Celebration, sponsored by the Cannon Beach Library, asks that question with the theme, “Hemingway at the beach: What Would He Say?”
Writers of all ages from all areas are invited to consider how or what Hemingway would say while at the beach. All written formats will be considered (essay, story, poetry, haiku, script, etc.) Authors are limited to three
entries with a 600-word maximum per entry. The deadline for submissions is Jan. 20.
A panel of volunteer judges will select 10 to 12 works to be read by their authors either in person or online during the celebration March 10 in the library.
Hemingway wrote about his experiences using as few words as possible, and his novels and short stories have become classics. The Writers Read Celebration offers an opportunity to have fun with this writing style in any form; the piece can be serious, whimsical, tongue-in-cheek or thoughtful.
Submissions will be accepted by email (info@cannonbeachlibrary.org) or by mail (P.O. Box 486
Cannon Beach, OR 97110), though email is preferred.
Submissions should be in Word or PDF format and include a cover letter with the writer’s name, email
and phone number. Please do not include the author’s name or contact information on the entry
document so authors remain anonymous during the judging process.
The NW Authors Series Committee sponsors monthly author presentations and other events at the
Cannon Beach Library. This is the fifth year of the Writers Read Celebration. Previous themes were:
“Life on the North Coast,” “The View from the North Coast,” “Pandemic” and “Recovery?.” Writers Read Celebrations on Zoom from 2022 and 2021 are available for viewing on Cannon Beach Library’s website.

NCRD Performing Arts Center Lobby
36115 9th Street Nehalem, OR 97131.

If you cannot make these audition times, please contact Vicki Haker at vickihaker@gmail.com to arrange an audition.

PERFORMANCE DATES:

March 17th – April 2nd.

SUMMARY

Part one of Neil Simon’s autobiographical trilogy: a portrait of the writer as a young teen in 1937 living with his family in a crowded, lower middle-class Brooklyn walk-up. Standing in for the author, Eugene Jerome is the narrator and central character.

Dreaming of baseball and girls, Eugene must cope with the mundane existence of his family life in Brooklyn: formidable mother, overworked father, and his worldly older brother Stanley.

Throw into the mix his widowed Aunt Blanche, and her two young (but rapidly aging) daughters and you have a recipe for hilarity, served up Simon-style.

This bittersweet memoir evocatively captures the life of a struggling Jewish household where, as his father states “if you didn’t have a problem, you wouldn’t be living here.”

Dance for Healing – open dance sessions

Submitted By: Christy@cosmichealingnw.com – Click to email about this post
Hello!!!
This open dance session is for everyone! Come as you are, and allow the music to move you. When we are stressed or experiencing trauma, we often hold these things in our bodies, and movement is a wonderful way to release them. This is a non performative experience, meaning, the only thing required is to allow the music to move your body in whatever way it wants to. Please don’t allow worry or fear of judgement to stop you. Those who are new to dancing or using movement in this way are especially welcome. Let’s face it, the last few years many of us have been in survival mode and probably don’t even realize how this is affecting us physically, emotionally and mentally. Let’s come together and help each other release stress and tension in a safe environment, while having fun. Reach out if you have any questions or concerns. Hope to see you there!!
