Join North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection’s Upcoming Meeting!

We are excited to announce a free educational event (hosted on Zoom) which will feature a talk by Deke Gundersen, Ph.D., a toxicologist and Director of the Environmental Studies Department at Pacific University.
He has consulted with North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection (NCCWP) over the years and has expert insights regarding the impact of pesticide chemicals on health.

At the meeting, we will also update you on our efforts to end clearcut logging and pesticide spraying in our drinking watersheds, regardless of land ownership. We will discuss upcoming volunteer opportunities (including a petition effort in the works) and direct actions you can take to protect our forests, watersheds and the health of our communities.

We look forward to seeing you there! Register at our webpage www.healthywatershed.org.

The health of our communities, as well as the forests and watersheds we depend on, is at stake due to the practices of large, industrial forestry operations. Fortunately, an upswell of momentum continues to build around Oregon’s forests and drinking watersheds right now. It’s the perfect time to get involved and help us work to safeguard and restore our drinking water sources, forests, and air quality.

Regardless of who actually owns the land, by law, all water in Oregon is publicly owned. All watersheds that supply wells, spring boxes, or municipal systems should be legislatively protected. In recognition of the necessity of clean and safe drinking water for all, as a matter of law, there should be no more logging nor pesticide spraying in drinking water sources.

We are advocating for the critical need to prioritize the health of our communities and put DRINKING WATER FIRST!

North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection (formerly Rockaway Beach Citizens for Watershed Protection) is a grassroots group working, through education and advocacy, for better protections of the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the forests that sustain us.

Hi friends and neighbors,

As some may know, our neighbor in our little community of Riverside Estates recently suffered a severe stroke. Larry Smieja suffered a massive stroke in his home on May 20 but was not discovered until May 22, 2022. The injury has affected his entire left side and will require extensive rehabilitation. He is currently being cared for by his sister Linda and a team at St. Vincent’s hospital in Portland.

Larry was born in Nehalem, Oregon, in 1955. He has spent his life working outside in the classic coast tradition. Larry started Wildcat Excavation 25 years ago and has worked to spend his days helping neighbors. He is hard-working, carefree, fun-loving, generous and always willing to lend a hand.

While Larry is recovering from this event, he will be unable to work. So it is our turn to help a neighbor make this situation a little less complicated. Any help with medical and living expenses is helpful. A giant thank you to everyone for your support.

OBITUARY: Dale Eugene Stockton – Aug. 19, 1930 – June 22, 2022

Dale Eugene Stockton passed away peacefully in his home the morning of June 22, 2022. For the last month of his life, he was surrounded daily by friends and family.
Born on August 19, 1930, in Vancouver, Washington to Eugene and Etta Stockton, Dale slowly grew into the spit fire we all know and love. Dale and his family lived in Portland, Oregon where he graduated from Jefferson High School in 1947. Dale went on to obtain his Bachelor of Business at Oregon State University, all the while juggling the ROTC program with his studies. After college, Dale enlisted in the Air Force and was stationed in Hamilton, California for two years. Dale returned to Portland, Oregon to work alongside his father and business partner at the Portland Gravel Company.

On July 5, 1955, Dale met the love of his life, Laura Lomax, standing in line at the Trails End Tavern in Seaside, Oregon. The love was so strong between the two that in September of the same year, they were engaged. On November 26, 1955, the happy couple tied the knot in Seattle, Washington. Dale and Laura settled into their first home overlooking the Colombia River where they welcomed their first child, Michael. From there, Dale, Laura and Michael moved to Butte, Montana where Dale worked for a short while for LeDerle Drug Company as a Pharmaceutical Representative. Montana would also serve as the birthplace of their second child, Lance Stockton. In 1959, Dale’s parents purchased what is now known as Stockton’s Nehalem Lumber Company. Shortly after its purchase, Dale and his family moved to Nehalem, Oregon, where they would settle down and begin a legacy. Dale worked alongside his father and business partner to build the business into a community staple. Dale and Laura welcomed three more children in Nehalem, Oregon, Mark, Kevin and their only daughter, Michelle.
During his life, Dale greatly enjoyed the water. He would travel to Alaska on the Eland as their cook and deckhand, to the Deschutes River to fish with his friends, on the Kerri Lynn with his granddaughter Stacey for their shared birthday, and to the Nehalem River just to gaze at its beauty. Dale was a community legend and could strike up a conversation with anyone around. Dale loved to spend time at his favorite bar, the Bayway Tavern. You could often find him there, surrounded by friends, with Mac on the Rocks in his hand. He was never one to miss the yearly Order of the Antelopes excursion to Heart Mountain or activities thrown by the Tillamook Elks Lodge. When Dale first partnered with his father to operate Stockton’s Nehalem Lumber, he helped found the Nehalem Fire and Ambulance Department and continued to serve for 25 plus years. Beginning in 1965, Dale served on Nehalem City Counsel, having served as both president and mayor. In the 70’s and 80’s Dale was Chairman of the Nehalem Bay Health District. He went on to become one of the founding members of the Tillamook County Economic Development Commission. In 2015, Dale concluded over 30 years of services as the Port of Nehalem Commissioner and Chairperson. Clearly, Dale was a community man.
Dale is survived by his children Lance Stockton of Nehalem, Oregon, Mark and Laurel Stockton of Charleston, South Carolina, Kevin Stockton of Dallas, Texas and Michelle Stockton of Nehalem, Oregon. Dale is also survived by nine loving grandchildren: Stacey and Adam Stockton, Luke and Ava Stockton, Emmaline, Ellie, and Anna Stockton, Madi and Logan Chesnut, and one great grandchild, Hudsynn Stockton. Sisters in Law Gloria Lomax of WA and Joyce Lomax of AZ.
Dale had many people that were important in his life. He is survived by several loving family members: Dee Anne, Patrice, Tony, Ronnie, Lindsey, TJ and his sidekick, Boots the cat.
Dale is preceded in death by his wife, Laura Stockton, his son, Michael Stockton and his brother, Kenneth Stockton. Donations in his honor may be made to the Tillamook Elks Lodge #1437 and Nehalem Hope Chest.
To celebrate his life, his family will be holding a graveside service at Nehalem American Legion Cemetery on Saturday, July 2nd at 11:00 a.m. followed by a potluck gathering at the White Clover Grange in Nehalem, Oregon. All are welcomed to join.

Our local kids need help with food insecurity this summer. Our North County connection with other Grub Clubs in the area has become fragile with many competing for the same resources.
The Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church volunteers make 800-1000 lunches per week for 8 weeks every summer. These cost about $2 per lunch.. USDA will only reimburse if we hand them out at a communal meal site. This is a problem for rural areas. Our kids are spread out so that volunteer drivers deliver to 15 different locations 3 times a week,
It will cost about $8000 more than we currently have to continue the program.
If you would like to donate money to this very worthy cause, please write a check to NBUMC and designate “Grub Club” on the memo line.
Donations may be dropped off at the church or mailed to POB 156, Nehalem, OR 97131.

Hi BBQ community,
Now that the sun is back I want to offer Qigong classes up at the Nehalem Park on Hugo street. I took some time off from teaching due to the pandemic but I am now feeling it is time to offer it again. I have studied and practiced Qigong for many years and love to share it with others. It is a powerful healing practice to calm body and mind. regular practice helps keep the immune system strong , build vitality, reduce pain and bring balance to our digestive and respiratory systems. It also is very good for people that have PTSD symptoms. The movements are combined with deep breathing and are easy to learn. Calming benefits can be felt right from the beginning.
I teach a walking form that has 5 movements with breathing patterns that is the best to practice outdoors with a group. I also teach forms that help with arthritis, and women’s health. As a massage therapist for many years, I like to share my knowledge of acupressure points to assist in home healing too.
If you are interested please send me your name and contact info. I want to see if there is interest in the community for classes. I am thinking of offering a class Tuesday at 9 or 10. I would love some community feedback on my ideas.I am hoping to get the first classes started soon. Happy Summer everyone!

Hello BBQ! After our successful Neighborhood Watch event this is what we learned: If you are comfortable with it, buy some cameras and install them. Motion Lights are fabulous deterrents. If you see it, document it. Report it if you feel comfortable doing so. KEEP RECORDS (if you keep records, be prepared to be a witness in court) Did you know that our Sheriff’s get paid out of the “General Fund”? Did you know that our Sheriff had to go cook for the inmates when he left Wheeler? Did you know we are the LOWEST PAID Sheriff’s Department in the entire STATE????
I have learned that the next County Commissioner Meeting is about THE BUDGET – let’s talk about our fabulous Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office and why we are the lowest paid in the ENTIRE STATE. I am including the agenda Check out item #20 – let’s be heard! I’m going! Who’s with me? I’m driving a van.

Pipes leaked in our building, which is the old hospital building in Wheeler. While we are grateful that the places we store food are dry, the hallways and carpets are not. The basement that we operate out of cannot be used until cleanup is complete. We hope to re-open June 28. Please check this page or local social media and BBQ for updates.
Fortunately, food is available locally thanks to our friends at United Methodist Church of Nehalem Bay, located in Nehalem. Seniors can receive meals in both the Nehalem area and Rockaway.
