Submitted By: ketzel.levine@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
We are experienced dog people who have been fostering Millie for several months. We are more than happy to tell you why we can’t make her our own but until then, here are 9 reasons why this 9-yr old sweetheart of a Catahoula mix will add even more love to any dog lover’s home:

1. She barely snores
2. She’s incredibly loyal and protective
3. Her joy playing outside is contagious
4. She walks beautifully on leash
5. She likes all dogs big and small
6. Her recall is fantastic
7. Her super power is cuddling
8. She keeps the kitchen floor clean
9. She likes going to the vet

Bonus attribute: she’s a beauty of a beast!

Drop us a line if you’d like to meet Millie and if it passes her smell test, we’ll make it a date.

Thank you!

Sir Francis Drake Association Hosts Annual Nehalem Bay Celebration, June 27–August 2

Submitted By: ggitzen@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
The Sir Francis Drake Association is hosting its annual celebration commemorating Sir Francis Drake’s 1579 anchorage in Nehalem Bay from June 27 through August 2, aimed at bringing Oregon’s true colonial history to light. We started this nonprofit in 2008 to reveal Francis Drake’s true landing site in Oregon, not California,” said Garry Gitzen, president of the Association. “Our annual celebration and the banner highlight evidence from Jensen, Costaggini and our own research to set the historical record straight.”
Gitzen says: “He writes history so others can experience it” His book—Francis Drake in Nehalem Bay 1579, Setting the Historical Record Straight (2011) plays a leading role in the Oregon-based theory which has received strong praise from both local and international historians. A review in the Oregon Archaeological Society Newsletter called it “a magnificent compilation which should be in every important historical library”, noting its thorough research, compelling organization, and rare primary sources.
The Drake anchorage is highlighted by the 12 feet by 8 feet banner describing the survey Drake made in 1579 on Neahkahnie Mountain. It’s divided into 3 stages; anthropologist Wayne Jensen and Tillamook museum director, first theorized in 1971 that Francis Drake had made a survey on the iconic mountain marking the ‘so-called treasure rocks’; in 1982 Oregon State University Civil Engineering master’s candidate, Phil Costaggini, decided to do his thesis on the survey rocks; and finally in 2014 Gitzen uncovered a map drawn in 1599 drawn by the Queen’s cartographer Edward Wright. This is the only map to ever carry the Queen’s Privy seal during her reign.
Everyone is invited to drive by and view the informative banner of Oregon’s true history but please do not disturb the residents at 125 N. 1st St. in Wheeler.
Founded in 2008 as a nonprofit, the Association promotes rigorous, evidence-based history about Francis Drake’s 1579 voyage. Its flagship project includes Garry Gitzen’s book and annual community events in Nehalem Bay.

Millie Is Looking For A Loving Home!

Submitted By: ketzel.levine@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
After years in Texas and a very hard-luck life, Millie, a.k.a. Mildred Elizabeth Benson, has landed in clover, a.k.a., Nehalem.

This sweet, friendly, calm, and affectionate creature is an arrestingly pretty 58 lb Catahoula mix from Texas. Despite a lifetime of abuse and neglect, 9 yr old Millie wakes up every morning happy, healthy, full of love and ready for action.

Millie can’t stop smiling when she’s outside. She adores other dogs, chasing balls, jumping in the river, and patrolling the property for chipmunks, squirrels and other intruders. She has excellent recall whether on the beach or in the mountains and keeps up with far younger dogs (her bff is a young Golden) despite a funky front paw.

Some things scare Millie, likely a reminder of darker times. When that happens, she responds well to quieting and redirecting, unless there’s fireworks at which point she disappears under the nearest bed. Though big and strong, she strives to be a lap dog and often succeeds.

Millie is ready to settle in for life with the right people and animals. Might that be with you? If so, please tell us a bit about both yourself and your life with dogs and we’ll run it past her. If it passes the sniff test, we’ll arrange a visit.

On behalf of Miss Millie and all lost-and-found souls, thank you.

Booth Opportunities for Independent Beauty & Wellness Pros

A Fresh Chapter for a local Nehalem Salon – Booth Opportunities for Independent Beauty & Wellness Pros

The former J. Marie Salon in Nehalem is beginning a new chapter as The Studio House & Co. — a warm, independent collective for professionals in hair, lashes, nails, tattoo artistry, and self-care.

As the new owner — and also the owner of Spa Manzanita — my goal is to offer a supportive, community-rooted space for independent self-care and wellness practitioners. This will be a sister space to the spa, with opportunities to collaborate and expand our offerings together.

We’re currently in a soft launch phase, with a full refresh still to come, and I’m looking for a few passionate, kind, and self-motivated professionals who want to grow their business in a beautiful, supportive and low-drama environment.

Highlights include:
• Flexible booth rental options
• A welcoming shared studio-salon space
• Optional support with phone, booking, and marketing
• Client perks at Spa Manzanita
• Centrally located in downtown Nehalem

If you’re looking for a fresh, thoughtful space to grow your work — or know someone who is — I’d love to start a conversation.

Warmly,
Maggie
Owner – The Studio House & Co. & Spa Manzanita
