This workshop will immerse students in the rocky intertidal ecosystems of the Oregon Coast. We will discuss tides, ocean conditions, and safety and etiquette on the rocks. Dive into details on specific organisms and species interactions that make up the general ecology of our intertidal ecosystems. Spend time exploring the nooks and crannies of the rocky shores looking for critters of all sizes. We’ll be meeting near Cannon Beach, OR.
Oregon’s large tidal exchange provides a dynamic and unique look into a world beyond our own. Low tide offers a rare glimpse into the lives of creatures usually hidden beneath the waves. Explore the shores, stepping into the unique underwater universe of our rocky shores, and find green and pink anemones, vibrant sea stars, shore crabs, hermit crabs,iridescent sea slugs, prehistoric chitons, tide-pool fish, and so much more!Observing this vibrant ecosystem up close provides a fascinating look at the resilience and diversity of coastal marine life.
MEET YOUR GUIDE:
Mylasia is an experienced tidepooler and science educator hailing from the gulf coast of Texas. After graduating from Texas A&M University at Galveston with a degree in marine biology, she made the move to Astoria, Oregon, where she worked as a Fisheries Observer with the West Coast Groundfish Program. After her first tidepooling expedition to Haystack Rock, she was hooked! Through tidepooling, Mylasia discovered her passion for science communication. She loves getting to help people build connections to the rocky intertidal and inspiring the next generation of environmental stewards. With five years of experience in environmental education, she has served as a Tidepool Ambassador at Cape Falcon Marine Reserve and as a Rocky Shore Interpreter with the Haystack Rock Awareness Program. When she isn’t tidepooling, you can find her practicing photography, crocheting, or hanging with her cat.

I’ll be starting an in-person women’s Bible study next month.
Send me an email (laniciaduke@gmail.com) if you’re interested? I’ll send you details.
I believe in God, wholeheartedly. I’ve been studying and walking in the word for twenty-one years.
I know it’s hard for some who have been broken and harmed by the religious spirit. I’m grateful I still have a heart wanting to know God instead of hating God for other people’s faults, as they lied on who God is. Remember, Jesus was not a Christian! You don’t have to be either. Jesus was not “religious”. You don’t have to be either. Jesus was an example on how to be a child/heir of God.
I am not holding a religious experience. We are building each other up. Encouraging ourselves in the word of God.
If it ain’t for you, it ain’t for you.
But imagine if we stopped talking about people and began praying for our neighbors AND changing old ways, old patterns, old thinking and outdated teaching.
You’re not going to hell for drinking. But we will stay in hell if we would rather live in shame than grace.
But if you’re even just a bit curious, let me know.
I’m excited to get back to what I do best!






This exhibit imagines a distant future, beyond several generations, and the remnants we leave behind. The work is inspired by and illustrates the surreal nature of the current affordable housing crisis in the US and the wasted resources of our time.
In two parts, the work explores uncommon compositions of our common life – Reverse Income Housing and The World After Us.
On view now through July 30 at Manzanita News, 500 Laneda Ave, Manzanita, OR.

We are only considering homes that keep their dogs indoors.
We want to be sure their new family understands the energy level of pitbull blended dogs and are capable of providing proper training, activity, and adequate exercise for the remainder of their lives. In turn, these pups are sure to bring lots of joy, laughter and tons of love.
There will be an adoption fee — in hopes to spay their daddy to avoid this from repeating. Am considering having the fee sent directly to the vet on account for this specific need. Can discuss.
We are happy to send photos and answer questions or set up a meet and greet!
We are set on finding perfect homes, so we are not doing “first come first serve”.. and we are willing to take the puppies back however the adoption fee cannot be refunded.
Please TEXT ONLY to 503.812.4260 or email natasharae612@gmail.com.

Q: What is a Song Bath?
A: The Threshold Choir creates a sacred/quiet space for anyone to sit, relax, and receive healing vibration through singing to their body, mind and spirit. In general it calms your nervous system and like prayer, we can direct our love and kindness toward a specific place if requested.
Q: Do I need to share or speak at all?
A: No
Q: Can I sing along with the choir?
A: During Song Bath, we ask visitors to remain quiet. You are invited to stay after Song Bath to inquire more about becoming a choir member.
Q: Do I have to sit in the central gravity chair?
A: No. If you are more comfortable sitting in the choir circle or in a pew in the back, you are welcome to do so.
Q: Can I show up without RSVP?
A: Yes. Although we do like to have an idea ahead of time about how many people are planning to receive a song bath.
Q: Can I arrive late?
A: Yes. And we ask folks to enter and exit quietly.

I have written a book. It’s called Can You Feel It? Stories from North Coast Pinball.
In late April of 2021, Heather and I were laboring to transform Hal’s Emporium in Nehalem into [North Coast Pinball and North Coast Mudworks. We had just pulled up the old carpet, and we had yet to paint, and the place looked and smelled like the construction site that it was. It didn’t make sense to have any pinball machines in there at that point, but I had moved a couple in because I couldn’t wait.
As I walked through the place imagining what it would become, an unfamiliar song started playing on our portable speaker. I turned it all the way up because it sounded interesting. Slowly, gradually, the song rose like a wave approaching the sand, then crashed over me in slow motion.
It was “Dayvan Cowboy” by Boards of Canada, and that is when I felt it for the first time.
After the song ended, I stopped to take a breath. Then I printed a sign from four sheets of paper and taped the pages to the wall to remind myself of what I was working towards.
CAN
YOU
FEEL
IT?
We’ve been in business for five years, and I still feel it. It feels pretty good. And now I have written a book about it–about what it’s like here.
And the book is finished! It’s on my coffee table right now for you to browse through. It’s also available today on Amazon, and I’ll have more copies in the shop after a couple of weeks.
I really hope you like my book. Thanks for being part of my life. ♡
Will Irace
