Writers will have an opportunity to gain a new perspective when they enter their work in the Cannon Beach Library’s Writers Read Celebration.
This year, writers will explore and interpret the theme, “From a Distance.”
Some say perspective changes everything. What happens when you can only see something – or someone – from afar? Maybe it’s a planet glimpsed through a telescope, a loved one seen through memories, or a truth that only makes sense once you’ve stepped back.
In its eighth year, Writers Read offers writers of all ages from everywhere the opportunity to
write on a specific theme. All written formats will be considered (essay, story, science fiction,
poetry, haiku, etc.). The deadline for submissions is Feb. 2.
A panel of volunteers will select 10 to 12 works to be read by their authors during the Writers
Read Celebration on March 6 in person at the library or via Zoom.
Writers are asked to follow these guidelines:
• Authors are limited to three entries with a 600-word maximum per entry.
• Submissions should be in Word format.
• Include a separate cover letter with the writer’s name, email and phone number. Please do not include the author’s name or contact information on the entry document so authors remain anonymous to the reading panel.
• Email submissions to info@cannonbeachlibrary.org
The NW Authors Series Committee organizes Writers Read, as well as monthly author presentations and other events at the Cannon Beach Library. A recording of last year’s Writers Read Celebration is available on the library’s website, cannonbeachlibrary.org/events-and-programs/recorded-presentations. It also appears on the library’s YouTube page.

NTLF Art in the Library Series features the art of Glenna Gray in the Manzanita Library for the month of December. Glenna is an artist who works in felt.  As she describes it “Wool has tiny barbs which when needle or wet felted join together, making it possible to create in 2 or 3 dimensions. Thus felt is sculptural, soft, warm, and lends itself to infinite possibilities.”  Glenna’s creations are so fluid and innovative, they look like painted watercolors.  Glenna received a Cannon Beach Arts Associations 2024 arts grant, and teaches classes in needle felting.

This series is presented by North Tillamook Library Friends.

Hello BBQ Community-

Rev. Christy Kay here….most of you probably know me in a multitude of ways – from my extensive community service work, from Rising Hearts Studio, from my services as an Energy Healing Practitioner and Spiritual Life Coach, or in the many other various ways that I am engaged in supporting my community. But, I have also added another facet to my work fairly recently, and am delighted to begin offering new services in a new role.
I am happy to announce my ordination as a multi-faith and multi-species animal chaplain who works to promote the health and wellness of ALL living beings on their spiritual path, providing healing comfort and care.

What is Animal Chaplaincy? Animal chaplains are an emerging field of chaplaincy that tends to the needs of all living beings and species. An animal chaplain provides spiritual and emotional care and support for both animals and their human companions, often focusing on bereavement rituals and promoting animal welfare. They also connect services to those that need them.

What I offer:
Spiritual Care: spiritual guidance and support to people experiencing grief or loss related to their pets or other animals.

Rituals and Ceremonies: leading ceremonies, rituals, or habituals, to honor the lives and deaths of animals, and offer support to the bereaved – this includes Blessings and Healings.

Resource Help: connection to any resources needed for the benefit of both animals and their companions.

Compassionate Listening: I offer a safe space for people to share their feelings and experiences related to their relationship with animals.

Healing: Energetic healing sessions for companion animals, farm animals, wild animals, and humans alike to help with emotional, spiritual and physical issues.

Monthly Animal Loss Grief Support Group: Safe space to find solace in shared experience, with support, understanding and practices for healing grief, and accepting loss. Currently meeting every second Thursday of the month, 5:30 PM, at Rising Hearts Studio.

My Credentials:
Wellness Practitioner of the Year 2024/25/26 – Oregon
Ordained Animal Chaplain
Member of American Association of Veterinary Chaplains
Certified Ayurvedic Animal Wellness Consultant
Certified Animal Reiki Master Practitioner
Certified Animal Crystal Healing Practitioner
Certified Animal Sound Healer Practitioner

Testimonials:
Christy helped me to navigate the end of life and transition of my beloved dog, Ruby. I was fully immersed in my grief, and she held a compassionate space for my tears. She also assisted me with logistics, by navigating the complexity of end of life care, and acting an intermediary between me and my veterinarian, to make sure the choices I made were in the highest good of both myself and my beloved. She offered palliative care to Ruby, in the form of energy work through reiki, and sound, and with ayurvedic medicine to ease the transition when the time finally came for her to cross the rainbow bridge. Christy created and facilitated a beautiful memorial ceremony that fully captured and honored Ruby and her place in my life. We also met some weeks later, and Christy was able to relieve some of my pain through her clearing work, and by channeling messages from Ruby that only she could have given. Truly an amazing opportunity, working with Christy, and I would not have made it through this experience without the loving care she offered. I highly recommend her animal chaplaincy services. – Jan Mohr

Christy has helped me tremendously on my healing journey. The reiki/sound healing is phenomenal. She also worked with my dog who was struggling with anxiety and after one session I saw vast improvements in my dog’s well-being. Highly recommend any healing work with Christy, she is awesome!!! – Valerie Mannix

I highly recommend Christy‘s healing treatments for animals. It was a huge help to my grieving dog who was exhibiting unpredictable behaviour. – Carolyn Greenwood

My contact info:

Please, let me know how I may be of service to you!
Thank you!
Blessings to All!

Patrick Conner:
Patrick, the multi-talented force behind the set design for this and many previous shows, is no stranger to wearing two theater hats. He did it last June for SORDID LIVES as Brother Boy and is doing it again. Locals might recognize him and his husband, Frank, as the owners of Wanda’s Cafe + Bakery. They call Manzanita home with their two young daughters and dog, Jingle.

Isaac Bertrand:
Isaac, originally from Kansas City, relocated to Rockaway Beach last year with his wife, two dogs, and a cat. He works remotely in the challenging world of IT. Off the clock, he keeps busy with cooking, reading, birdwatching, and cultivating his houseplant collection. Thanks to his wife’s nudge, he is thrilled to be making his stage debut in this exciting production!

The Tillamook County Giving Guide is in mailboxes throughout the county, and available here on the Pioneer as we all look around to see what we can do right here, in our own backyards to really make a difference — the Giving Guide provides that guidance and information. Nearly 130 nonprofit organizations take care a variety of needs in our communities.

The cover of the Giving Guide features the artwork from a young local artist – Morgandy Cruse, that captures how each one of us can plant seeds of love through giving of funds, time and attention.

All we need is love
Fulcrum Community Resources and the Tillamook County Pioneer are pleased to present this 9th annual publication, to provide information and encouragement to support these vitally important organizations. Each hour and dollar given is precious and important and produces a harvest of love.

We are all gardeners in this thing called life, and we leave the “harvest” of our words, actions and demeanor in our wake, wherever we go. So, let’s all Sow the Seeds of Love! In whatever way calls to you — be it kind words, a hand up or out, a smile, a meditation, speaking up for someone who can’t, or any random act of kindness, let’s care for each other. Close your eyes for a moment, if you will, and imagine what the power of love can do. As often as possible present with love.

Our local nonprofits and service organizations have been sowing the seeds of love for years. And the time is now. Spread love with your money and time to help guarantee that everyone is safe, fed, housed, has adequate health care, access to beauty and education. Your generosity is needed and appreciated more than ever!

By making your year-end giving donations locally, you keep your money circulating here at home. You are adding your care, compassion and hope so our organizations can function powerfully. The time that you give volunteering adds another rich layer of care, compassion and hope.

Our organizations impact all aspects of our lives, from health and wellness, sustainability, environmental stewardship, conservation, food security, housing, universal access, women’s issues, children’s well-being, animal welfare, education, safety, disaster relief, community preparedness, and arts and culture. They create a strong, vibrant and resilient community. They collaborate and form partnerships which build a culture of efficiency, cooperation and communication. They provide jobs, a trained and inclusive workforce, volunteer opportunities, internships, and training. They give us opportunities to connect, heal, play and hope. And they need our support to continue to make a difference!

Thank you to all those who have donated, discovered and volunteered in past years!

Included in the Guide are paid profiles of nearly 40 organizations, and a free listing of contact information for 129 organizations providing services, resources and support that improve the quality of life for everyone in our community. Many organizations do not have the budget for a profile, which covers the cost of printing and mailing, so we include at the back of the Guide this list of most of the nonprofits and charitable organizations in the county. This free listing is available to any Tillamook County nonprofit or service organization.

The links to detailed directories are posted on northcoastbbq.com on the local resources page.

We welcome your feedback, comments and suggestions. We especially want to hear from you if you don’t see your favorite group in the free listing. Email barbaraandchuck@nehalemtel.net with your comments and/or information about an organization.

Fulcrum Community Resources’ mission is to foster the transition of the Nehalem Bay community to a sustainable future. Our volunteer group initiates and coordinates local programs in north Tillamook County. We also sponsor others’ projects that fit with our mission and goals. We see Fulcrum, not as a hub, but as an enabling node – one of many groups locally who are organizing and creating projects. Our guiding philosophy is that the most effective and innovative projects are initiated at the grassroots community level. www.fulcrumresources.org

If it’s your first go at ASL, or you’ve been using it for years, this is an opportunity to use conversational ASL to communicate with others.
Tillamook Bay Community College will supply us with a teacher and the NCRD will supply us with a room and the technology.
The cost will be $128 and will go down to $99 if there are 10 or more participants.
