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,

Celebration of life for Chuck McLaughlin Saturday Aug 9

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: barbaraandchuck@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post

Please join us next Saturday, August 9, at the White Clover Grange at 2pm for a celebration of life for Chuck McLaughlin.

Charles Lee McLaughlin was born in Bakersfield, California, on June 8, 1928 to Harold Winfield McLaughlin and Helen Loraine Seymour McLaughlin. He passed from this world on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2025.

Chuck, a true Gemini, was a master of many trades—artist, musician, poet, writer, carpenter, genealogist, bbq website master, activist, spiritual seeker, and lover of beauty and nature. He could visualize the art or carpentry project he wanted to create in his mind and then make it happen.

But mostly it was being a father that filled his soul. His seven sons and one daughter were always in his heart.

His first family consisted of four sons; Craig Lee (1950-2016), Chris Carson (1952-1983), Carl Richard (1954-2024) and Charles Lee. Their mother was Joan Ardelle Hall (1931-2015). To Chuck’s deep sorrow, Craig, Chris and Carl preceded him in death.

Next came Paul Richard, born in 1968, whose mother is Jeanie Hall McLaughlin.

Chuck spent the last half of his long life with his third wife, Barbara Schramm McLaughlin and together they had twins, Mark Jacob and David Shannon McLaughlin. With this marriage came his only daughter, Erika Luella Gilman Branch, whom he helped raise from her earliest years. Having only boys it was both an honor and a challenge to parent a daughter.

Wrestling with the “Great Bambinis” (his first four boys), carrying young Paul on his shoulders down to the beach, and being Mr. Mom to Erika, Mark and David were some of Chuck’s joys of fatherhood. He was extremely proud of all his children and guiding them into adulthood was a sacred responsibility to him.

His strength, vibrant energy, determination, intelligence and ability to create carried him almost seamlessly through most of his 96 years. For instance, his vision
of being mortgage free saw him building a new house at the age of 75 with Barbara, Mark and David. Upon his arrival in Cannon Beach in 1975, looking around to see what wasn’t there, his vision led him to start Geppetto’s Toy Shoppe. When his son, Paul, was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 3, his determination and love literally saved Paul’s life.

Some of the thirty plus paying jobs Chuck held in his life included, bucking hay, selling men’s clothes, picking cotton, grapes and tomatoes and taking tickets at a drive-in. He was a probation officer, teacher, credit manager, oil rough neck, life guard, bank teller, bus driver, and warehouse manager to name a few.

When he was 16 in 1944, with his mother’s permission, he joined the Merchant Marines and was a seaman on oil tankers, delivering fuel to American ships in the Pacific. Before the end of World War II he joined the Naval Air Corps where he was a radio operator.

His “nonpaying” jobs included KMUN programmer, one of the founders and “Rummage King” of Fire Mountain School, Wheeler City Councilor, Cannon Beach Planning Commissioner and BBQ website master for over 20 years (www.northcoastbbq.com). It was very important to him to give to his community.

He also loved giving away his art to friends and family. On medallions cut from ivory cue balls, he scrimshawed personalized nature images and made them into necklaces as presents. There are also a number of his symbolically carved walking sticks in the hands of others. When he could no longer walk, see or hear very well, he envisioned his last art piece that his son David put together after Chuck’s passing—Elk antlers given to him by son, Mark, with a dangling elk tooth he found on one of his nature walks.

Chuck composed over 50 Haiku. Of haiku he says, “Haiku to me is a verbal portrait of a non-verbal moment in time … a moment on occasion evoking an intuitive response transcending the obvious and, on occasion, providing a non-dualistic oneness with what is seen.”

ON WET RIVER ROCK
A WATER OUZEL DIPPING
DIPPING, DIPPING…SPLASH!

Music and nature were also a big part of his life. His love of music started in the 4th Grade when he was mesmerized by the school orchestra. Instead of walking through the auditorium to the restroom, he sat and listened so long his teacher had to come find him. He loved drumming and played the conga for many years before joining local bands Shy Jazz, playing a drum set, and the Sedona Fire Band with whom he played bongos and cajon. He also sat in often with the Tsunami Drummers.

As a young boy he lived in San Francisco near Golden Gate Park and spent many hours roaming there. When his family lived in Bakersfield, he explored the nearby desert country. In Cannon Beach, he got his nature fix wandering along Ecola Creek as well as hiking many other coastal trails.

Besides his wife, Barbara, and children, Charles, Paul, Erika, Mark and David, he is survived by daughters-in-law Hillary (Charles), Judi (Paul), Jackie (David) and Kate (Mark) as well as son-in-law Jason (Erika). He leaves behind 16 grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren, and 4 great-great grandchildren. He is also survived by 5 nieces and 5 nephews as well as numerous great and great-great nieces and nephews.

Besides his parents and sons, Craig, Chris and Carl, his siblings, Harold Winfield McLaughlin and Barbara Jean Petzolt and their spouses, as well as several nephews preceded him in death.

Chuck was an avid genealogist. To see his ancestors go to www.wikitree.com/wiki/McLaughlin-2367#Ancestors

Amy Kline Gage Celebration of Life- Pine Grove 08/08 From 5-70

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: laurabartels@live.com – Click to email about this post
Amy Kline Gage, formerly of Neahkahnie Mountain, Manzanita, Oregon, born in Seattle, Washington on July 7, 1943 and died on May 19, 2025 surrounded by family and friends at her home in Fillmore, California. She was 81. Amy is survived by her beloved husband John Gage, daughter Laura Kline Bartels and husband Bill; daughter Grace Kline; daughter Suzannah de Moll and husband Todd Hight; grandchildren Nico Kline Bartels; Hannah Kline Bartels; Matthew Kline Bartels; Luna Enriquez and her partner Adam Bristow; Evangeline Enriquez; sister-in-law Martha Wood; cousins Gilbry McCoy; Stephanie Birchak, and Karen Couch; many Cayman cousins; stepdaughter Lisa Gage Star; stepsons Chester and Ezra Anderson; stepchildren Judy, Jay, and Joe Kline.

Moving from Portland to Oregon Coast’s Neahkahnie Mountain in 1969 with daughter Laura and then husband Fred Kline, Amy and Fred built their own home by hand with no electricity. Amy opened the Rainbow Gallery, a fine art gallery in Cannon Beach, Oregon, until the death of Fred in 1978. Fred and Amy had daughter Grace in 1975 at home, and after Fred’s death, Amy had daughter Suzannah de Moll at home with spouse Kip de Moll. Amy moved with daughter Grace and Suzannah in 1986 to Mill Valley , California where she married her childhood sweetheart John Gage.

Amy was a Certified Yoga Therapist; a teacher of yoga classes at Tillamook Community College, in Cannon Beach and Astoria. Amy taught yoga students at the Rhinehart Clinic and Hospital; set up the program and taught yoga for Multiple Sclerosis, AIDS (hospice) and orthopedic and cancer patients at the University of California, San Francisco Dental School. She taught Yoga for Percussionists, Yoga in Christian Prayer at Grace Cathedral, Yoga for Children, Yoga for People over 53, Yoga in Christian Worship and Yoga for Incarcerated Women. Amy founded the North Coast Hospice in 19__; Amy was involved with Midwifery and delivered over 30 babies in the North Coast. Amy started the International College of the Cayman Islands in 1970 and was a member of its board for over 55 years; lifelong Episcopalian, she regularly attended services at St. Catherine’s By the Sea from her home in Oregon when they were originally held in a room behind the grocery store. She was thrilled that the parish eventually could build its own church.

Amy’s favorite events in life were those involving her husband, children, grandchildren and extended family and friends. She was a great mom. She loved shared dinner table conversations, talks of upcoming events or simple descriptions about the events of your day. She always gave thoughtful individualized gifts; she had such optimism about young people and their futures, and she had tongue-in-cheek nicknames for her towns on the Oregon Coast that always made us laugh. She remembered personal details and could greet you after a lengthy absence and carry on as if the distance and time never existed. Amy had a way of making you feel that you were the most important person in her world; she had a gift for including you in any activity and she made you feel at ease and a part of her family. Her legacy is the great energy she devoted to her family and friends and great success she had in introducing people to new concepts and inspiring them get involved and become active participants. Amy was a mentor to many.

A Celebration of Life Gathering of the Life of Amy will be held at Pine Grove Community House, 225 Laneda Avenue, Manzanita, Oregon from 5:00 pm-7:00 pm. Light refreshments will be served. In lieu of flowers, please bring a story to share of Amy’s impact in your life. An open microphone will be available as well as cards for your stories or notes. If you want to share a longer story or communicate with John, Laura, Grace and Zannah, please send it to AmyCelebrationofLifeStories@gmail.com.

Art in the Manzanita Library

NTLF Art in the Library Series presents the works of Tela Skinner on display in the Manzanita Library for the month of August. Ms. Skinner retired to Manzanita in 2008, and has been pursuing creative endeavors since then. Tela tells us she enjoys contemplating life’s mysteries and that her art comes from a meditative state she experiences as she ponders what it means to be a spiritual being in human form. She expresses her deep curiosity about the influence of astrological archetypes, our deep seated beliefs, and our collective consciousness through her art. Please stop by the library to admire her recent works.
Tela hopes these abstract images mirror her gratitude for the gift of life, for family and friends, for nature’s beauty, and for simple pleasures.  If you are interested in purchasing any of Tela’s work, you can contact her at  telaskinner@gmail.com
