If you have school-age children, you may qualify for Oregon’s Summer EBT program, which provides $120 per child to help buy groceries over the summer. Many families will receive benefits automatically if they are already enrolled in SNAP or other programs. Some families may need to apply for the program. Learn more at content.govdelivery.com/accounts/ORDHS/bulletins/3da64a4

These benefits can be used at summer farmer’s markets under the Double Up Food Bucks program, which enables families to double the amount they can spend on fresh vegetables and fruits.

Hello, everyone!
I’m looking for a small, cozy place to rent in or near Seaside, starting early May.

I have two sweet, well-behaved senior dogs, so pet-friendly is needed.
Just looking for something simple and comfortable, — a studio, 1-bedroom, or small cottage would be perfect.
If you know of anything available or have any leads, feel free to message me.

I work locally, am looking forward to settling in, getting involved with my new community, doing volunteer work and making Seaside home.

Thanks so much!

~Jody

Over a decade ago, the Salmonberry Trail was a brainchild of two Tillamook County moms looking for a place for their children to ride bikes and the family to take walks. They envisioned the Tillamook Bay Railroad conversion to a shared biking and hiking trail. And that vision is finally becoming a reality in bits and pieces.

Wheeler is slated to build a demonstration section of the trail this summer. Our neighbor to the south, Rockaway Beach, is preparing to develop a much longer trail through their town. Over time, the trails are envisioned to “grow together” to create a continuous path to connect our communities, provide a way for kids to ride bikes to school, attract tourism, and get hikers and bikers off of 101 along the coast.

The 82-mile-long trail will eventually connect the coast to the valley and provide a recreational opportunity for outdoor enthusiasts. Work on the east side has begun and rail beds have been converted to trails that will connect to other regional trails such as Banks/Vernonia, a popular biking path west of the Metro area.

To learn more and how you can help develop the trail visit salmonberrytrail.org/

Salmonberry Trail Foundation Awarded $62,474 Grant to Support Trail
Development in Wheeler
Wheeler, OR —April 8, 2025 — The Salmonberry Trail Foundation has been awarded
a $62,474 grant through the 2024–25 Tillamook Coast Visitors Association (TCVA)
Tourism Facilities Grant Program. The funding will support the development of a
demonstration segment of the Salmonberry Trail in Wheeler—a project focused on
safety, connectivity, and community impact.
Located on the Port of Tillamook Bay right-of-way, the 1,800-foot gravel trail will parallel
the Oregon Coast Scenic Railway (OCSR) tracks. Developed in partnership with the
City of Wheeler, the Salmonberry Trail Foundation, and OCSR with input from the Port
of Tillamook Bay (PoTB), local neighbors, businesses, and the Lower Nehalem
Community Trust (LNCT), the trail aims to enhance pedestrian safety, encourage
downtown walkability, and serve as a model for future segments of the Salmonberry
Trail.
“This project is a small but powerful example of what’s possible when communities work
together,” said Gavin Mahaley, Communications and Development Director at the
Salmonberry Trail Foundation. “We’re proud to help make Wheeler more walkable,
connected, and welcoming for residents and visitors alike.”
In addition to the trail itself, the project includes a concrete platform just south of
Hemlock Street where Oregon Coast Scenic Railway (OCSR) riders can safely
disembark in Wheeler. Along the trail, interpretive signage will share the ecological,
geological, historical, and cultural significance of the area, including Botts Marsh, which
the trail overlooks, providing visitors with both a scenic view and a deeper
understanding of the area.
Funding for the grant was made possible through a partnership between Tillamook
County and the TCVA. In addition to TCVA’s generous contribution, the project will be
supported by in-kind work and community donations.
“This demonstration segment in Wheeler shows how a thoughtfully designed trail can
support local economies, protect sensitive environments, and create meaningful
experiences for both visitors and locals,” said Karen Matthews, Council President,
Wheeler City Council.
Trail construction is expected to begin in Summer of 2025, with the City of Wheeler and
the Salmonberry Trail Foundation managing the project and its future maintenance.
About the Salmonberry Trail Foundation
The Salmonberry Trail Foundation is a nonprofit organization working to build the
82-mile Salmonberry Trail—from the Tualatin Valley to the Oregon Coast—connecting
communities through shared history, nature, and movement.

NCRD PARKING LOT CLOSURE UPDATE: PREPPING MONDAY APRIL 7, TUESDAY APRIL 8, PAVING LATER IN THE WEEK, WATCH FOR UPDATES

Currently, Monday morning April 7th, parking lots are open at NCRD, and likely parking lots will be open tomorrow, Tuesday April 8th. The contractors are preparing for the paving which will hopefully happen later this week – Thursday April 10th – or early next week (Monday April 14, Tuesday April 15), depending upon the weather, and will impact all the parking areas.
During the closures, patrons are asked to park at the downtown Nehalem parking lot, at the pickleball courts or the Nehalem Bay Methodist Church – and the WAVE bus will provide free rides to NCRD.
When the parking lots are closed, look for the signage at the parking areas. The Tillamook County Transportation District/The Wave Route 3 bus will provide a fare-free deviation as it travels north and south through Nehalem. Each trip will travel off route to serve the pickleball courts, the parking lot at Hwy. 101 and 7th Street, and the Nehalem Methodist Church lots and take customers to NCRD; then pick up at NCRD and reverse the extra stops along the route. Look for the sandwich boards in each location for the WAVE NCRD bus. Patrons should be at the lots a few minutes before those scheduled times and can board for free after telling the driver they wish to go to NCRD.
Here are the times each Route 3 trip is scheduled to be in Nehalem: 5:53a, 6:15, 8:58, 10:00, 10:58, 12:00noon, 1:38p, 2:00p, 3:28p, 4:30p, 7:13p and 8:15p
A reminder that NCRD is still an active construction zone – no parking in the lower lot by the new aquatics center, and obey all NO PARKING signage. Please bring your patience with you when parking at NCRD and be respectful of the neighbors by not blocking driveways or entrances. If you can carpool to classes or events, please do so to lessen the impacts. Do not utilize the City rights-of-way as parking spaces, especially on the east side of 9th Street. There are cones and signage, please do not remove the cones/signage, and obey the restrictions.
There are likely to be some changes to the paving schedule and we may have to close the parking lots to accommodate equipment, and preparations for the paving and striping.
“We appreciate the patience – we’ll say it again – of our patrons and our neighbors as we negotiate the final stages of the construction of the new Aquatics Center,” said Justin Smith, Executive Director.
If you have questions, please call 855-444-6273, or go to www.ncrd.org.

“We’ve made arrangements with Tillamook County Transportation District to provide some extra stops at the parking lot in downtown Nehalem, the pickleball courts and at the Methodist Church, so patrons can park there and catch a bus ride,” explained executive director Justin Smith.

As Spring unfolds, the trees bud and the perennials poke through the soil, we may find ourselves also ready to emerge and unfold anew. Sometimes just the energy of the new season can launch us into a new way of being.

But often we have long-held beliefs and stories that keep us stuck and unable to see who we truly are. We want to be freer, we want to take bold steps, or we want try something new, but there is something that keeps us small.

The 30 Shamanic Questions is a powerful journey of self-inquiry that has helped thousands of people uncover, recover and discover who they truly are beyond the stories that have kept them small.

This experience will be via Zoom, so you can join from anywhere. For seven weeks, we will meet and engage with deep questions that carry us along a progressive experience of peeling back the layers of old stories to reveal who we are beyond these narratives.

Registration ends April 10th. Space is limited to 8 people
