After many years of what seems to have been a very hard-luck life, Millie, a.k.a. Mildred Elizabeth Benson, has landed in clover, a.k.a., Nehalem.

This sweet, friendly, calm, and affectionate creature is an arrestingly pretty 58 lb Catahoula mix from Texas. Despite a lifetime of abuse and neglect, 9 yr old Millie wakes up every morning happy, healthy, full of love and ready for action.

Millie can’t stop smiling when she’s outside. She adores other dogs, chasing balls, jumping in the river, and patrolling the property for chipmunks, squirrels and other intruders. She has excellent recall whether on the beach or in the mountains and keeps up with far younger dogs (her bff is a young Golden) despite a funky front paw.

Some things scare Millie, likely a reminder of darker times. When that happens, she responds well to quieting and redirecting, unless there’s fireworks at which point she disappears under the nearest bed. Though big and strong, she strives to be a lap dog and often succeeds. She has a prominent silly streak!

Millie is ready to settle in for life with the right people and animals. Might that be with you? If so, please tell us a bit about both yourself and your life with dogs and we’ll run it past her. If it passes the sniff test, we’ll arrange a visit.

On behalf of Miss Millie and all lost-and-found souls, thank you.

A Fresh Chapter for a local Nehalem Salon – Booth Opportunities for Independent Beauty & Wellness Pros

The former J. Marie Salon in Nehalem is beginning a new chapter as The Studio House & Co. — a warm, independent collective for professionals in hair, lashes, nails, tattoo artistry, and self-care.

As the new owner — and also the owner of Spa Manzanita — my goal is to offer a supportive, community-rooted space for independent self-care and wellness practitioners. This will be a sister space to the spa, with opportunities to collaborate and expand our offerings together.

We’re currently in a soft launch phase, with a full refresh still to come, and I’m looking for a few passionate, kind, and self-motivated professionals who want to grow their business in a beautiful, supportive and low-drama environment.

Highlights include:
• Flexible booth rental options
• A welcoming shared studio-salon space
• Optional support with phone, booking, and marketing
• Client perks at Spa Manzanita
• Centrally located in downtown Nehalem

If you’re looking for a fresh, thoughtful space to grow your work — or know someone who is — I’d love to start a conversation.

Warmly,
Maggie
Owner – The Studio House & Co. & Spa Manzanita

Join Captain Thron Riggs, retired Columbia River Bar Pilot, at a reception for his show “Wildscapes” at the NCRD Gallery, 36155 9th Street in Nehalem, on Saturday, July 12 from 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. Riggs, who has a deep affinity for the Oregon Coast, and particularly the Nehalem Bay area, will be showing 40 new paintings—many showcasing this rugged landscape.
North County Recreation District (NCRD) is hosting the show for Captain Riggs who has generously offered 80% of the proceeds from the show to support the vital role NCRD plays in the health and wellness of the Nehalem Bay area community.
Since retiring from his active, unique standing as one of 14 bar pilots on the Columbia River bar, Captain Riggs continues to enjoy the bounty of life on the north Oregon Coast as an avid surfer, painter, musician (viola), radio host and maritime scholar. He began his career on the sea on merchant ships after graduation from high school and spent 27 years on ships, the last seven as Master. He became a Columbia River Bar Pilot in 1993.
Plan to attend the reception to meet Capt. Riggs on July 12 to meet Capt. Riggs—ever the quintessential sea captain—where he is always standing ready to deliver sea stories or the inside scoop on what it is really like to pilot a giant ship through the world’s most dangerous bar.
“Wildscapes” will be up the entire month of July and is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. or weekends by appointment. Call 503-368-3203.

Lynne M. Allison Memorial Art Show
2025 Theme: “Art of Maritime Navigation”

The Cannon Beach Arts Association is pleased to announce a new annual exhibition to celebrate the life and artistic contributions of the late Lynne M. Allison, a talented local artist and cherished member of our Cannon Beach community. This exhibition is designed to honor her legacy by organizing a juried exhibition each year that specifically highlights the diverse subject matter that inspired Lynne in her own artistic works.

A guest juror will choose first, second, and third prize winners from the exhibition. Prize money for the winners is generously provided by Lynne’s foundation.

This year’s theme is Marine Navigation, offering artists various ways to find inspiration. They can use navigation maps and charts as visual pieces, explore themes of adventure, and incorporate tools like compasses and binoculars. Artists can reflect on journeys, both real and symbolic, encouraging viewers to consider their own paths. Natural elements seen by navigators—stars, waves, wind, and marine life—serve as abundant visual and symbolic iconography, the ocean’s beauty and its changing moods, which are essential to navigation can also be considered.

This will be a juried show with cash prizes

First prize =$1000

Second prize – $500

Third prize = $250

Guest Juror: Matthew Palmgren, Assistant Curator for the Columbia River Maritime Museum in Astoria.

JURY DEADLINE: AUGUST 7, 2025

Each submission will be evaluated based on:

Artistic merit

Relevance to the exhibition theme

If the work is “Gallery Ready” meaning dry paint, has the ability to hang on the wall (wire, or sawtooth), has the artists name, title of the work, medium, and price on the back of the piece.

The jury will deliberate to select a predetermined number of works for the exhibition.

Artists whose work is not selected will be notified following the jury decision.

Important dates:

Submission deadline: Drop off artwork August 7, 2025 at the Cannon Beach Gallery, or Submit online through our website.

Pickup of unselected works: If you are not selected for the exhibition please communicate with the gallery about pick up.

*Artist will be disqualified for the jury process if the artwork is not “gallery ready.”
