We have some races!! And lots of candidates, but there’s plenty of room for others to file. What there isn’t much of, is time. Tomorrow, March 20th, 2025 is the filing deadline.

See who has filed so far: www.tillamookcounty.gov/sites/default/files/fileattachments/clerk039s_office/page/69486/notice_of_measure_election_-filed_candidates.pdf
To run for a seat you must be registered to vote and live in the district for the seat you’re pursuing. Some districts are further separated by zones. If a seat lists a zone, you must live within the zone of the district to run for that seat. However, all of the voters in that district will be voting for all of the available seats. If a seat is listed as “position” than you are eligible to file for any of those positions. If you’re confused about what seat you might be eligible for, the friendly folks at the county clerk’s office will help you figure it out.
Although all of these positions are non-partisan, you’re encouraged to seek assistance in your campaign from your party or other organizations. But remember an endorsement from a party doesn’t mean the candidate represents the party, it means the party likes what the candidate represents.

From the beginning of the bbq (first an email list serve and then a website) Chuck and I decided we would not censor posts. We have returned a few to posters to clean up because they either attacked someone personally or used fowl language. If they didn’t clean it up those weren’t posted.

And we refuse to censor ideas and opinions. This is a community website and is meant to be inclusive even if we don’t agree with the content.

It is important to me that as a people we learn to agree to disagree (or scroll on by or hit delete). There is too much meanness and bullying going on in our culture by some people who feel it’s ok to attack someone with a different viewpoint, background or outlook on life.

This is not acceptable and I will carry on Chuck’s commitment to open discussion.

Dear Cast, Crew, Volunteers, and Audience Members,

What an incredible run! THE MOUSETRAP has officially become the biggest spring production in Riverbend Players history, and that is thanks to each and every one of you.

To our brilliant cast and director—you brought these iconic characters to life with skill and dedication. Your hard work, countless hours of rehearsal, and passion for storytelling were evident in every performance.

To our tireless crew and volunteers, you are the heartbeat of this production. Your efforts ensured that every show ran smoothly, from set design to lighting, sound, costumes, backstage coordination, and front-of-house hospitality.

And to our amazing audiences—you filled the seats in record numbers, shared in the suspense, and made every moment on stage even more special. Your support means the world to us, and seeing our coastal community come together for live theater is why we do what we do.

Thank you for making THE MOUSETRAP such a resounding success. We can’t wait to see you at our next production, the hit comedy SORDID LIVES!

Much gratitude,
Frank Squillo
President, Riverbend Players Community Theater

I hope all is well and that you’re taking great care of yourselves.

If your heart is as weary as mine I hope you’ll appreciate this good news: Dems have a chance to gain TWO Congressional seats on April 1st. That will put them just 1 vote away from having control of The House and being able to slow down trump.

We DESPERATELY need voters to come out in Florida. Can I ask for your support in sending a postcard to EVERY household in the two districts?

Please sponsor ten cards at .66 cents each? More if you can.

We really need your help.

Thank you and please share this message.

Join Katie and Shannon for this special event that brings together the healing and transformative worlds of yoga, sound, and live music. In this unique class, gentle restorative postures are complemented by the soothing sounds of a live violin performance. Gentle movement and breath work will lead us into restorative postures that are long held with the support of props that encourage relaxation of the body, mind, and nervous system. The live violin performance with synthesizer enhances the experience with resonant and ambient tones that are carefully integrated into the rhythm of the class, promoting a meditative state and heightening a sense of inner calm. 

All levels welcome.

SEE IT THIS WEEKEND! THE FINAL PERFORMANCES!
Riverbend Players launched the 2025 season with our first-ever Agatha Christie murder mystery—playing to huge crowds!

With five remaining shows, THE MOUSETRAP runs through March 16th at the NCRD Performing Arts Center in Nehalem.

THE MOUSETRAP by Agatha Christie
Directed by Randy Schultz:

A classic murder mystery occurs in Monkswell Manor, a guesthouse where a snowstorm traps a group of strangers.

As news arrives of a murder nearby, the guests realize that the killer might be among them.

Detective Sergeant Trotter arrives to investigate, but as tensions rise and secrets are uncovered, another murder occurs.

The play is famous for its surprise twist ending, and audiences are traditionally asked to keep the plot’s resolution a secret.

The Mousetrap holds the world record as the longest-running play, debuting in 1952 and remaining continuously on stage.

Get your 2025 SEASON PASS now and save 20% on tickets. It’s only available until March 16th.
