Posting for a friend.
A person in the Nehalem Bay area has been having nighttime doorbell harassing for almost a month. Has anyone else had this happen?
The sheriff has been contacted. A doorbell camera hasn’t helped identify the perpetrators. Our community doesn’t need this kind of behavior. Watch out.

It’s time for another Heart of Cartm Repair Cafe this Saturday, August 16th, 3:00-5:00pm

Do you have a beloved item that needs a little TLC?

Want to learn from the experts how to take something apart, diagnose it’s “illness” and bring it back to life?

Are you interested in keeping your things out of the landfill and thumbing your nose at supply chain delays?

Come to the Repair Cafe at the Heart of Cartm Workshop (next to the store)!

This month we have expert fixers who specialize in crocheting, jewelry repair and sewing projects along with our usual lamp and appliance fixers, so take a look in your basements, garages and dark corners, find something that needs fixing and join us!

Repair Café at Heart of Cartm serves as a hub for individuals who value sustainability, creativity, and community engagement. The Repair Café isn’t just about fixing broken items; it’s about sharing knowledge and skills, too. When you bring your broken toaster or worn-out work pants to our workshop, you have the opportunity to learn how to repair items yourself, with guidance from our skilled volunteers.

If you can’t make it to Repair Cafe this Saturday, come by the store to see what kind of treasures are waiting for you. We are open Thursday – Monday, Noon-6pm.

Organic Landscaping (Design and Installation)

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: andyevansparker@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hi BBQ-ers! I am honestly thrilled to finally write this and say I am back and settled after two years in Pennsylvania. We couldn’t be more thrilled and have signed a long-term lease in Manzanita.

Wanted to spread the word that my organic landscape company is currently booking projects for late Summer and Fall 2025. Once upon a time I posted a similar flyer here on the BBQ and was busy for eight years! I have no problem with that happening again 😉

REFRESH Organic Landscapes holds an “All-Phase” license with the Oregon Landscape Contractors Board – meaning we’re able to do irrigation, built structures (wood and stone), complete garden plantings in addition to general landscape maintenance and clean-ups. We also specialize in ecolawns and offer pressure washing as well. We are licensed, bonded and insured through the OR LCB and Farmers Insurance.

Call or email to schedule a free consultation or just to chat!
Have a wonderful weekend,

Andy Parker
