United Paws’ Kittens Ready for Adoption
Ember is a handsome kitten with brown & black stripes and a fluffy white underbelly. He is very loving, socialized, and comfortable around kids of all ages, as well as adults and well-behaved dogs. Ember loves playing with other kittens and cats in the household, and if his foster says he’s happy to sit in her lap and play with her hair. This is one easy going, content kitten!
Whatever is going on in the household, Ember wants to be in the middle of it. He likes riding on your shoulder as you walk around taking care of household concerns, and if you let him, he’ll be your buddy and helper.
Ash is Ember’s brother and he also has a soft coat with a luscious tabby pattern of brown-tan-black stripes and white. His sweet disposition makes Ash a great cat. He likes cuddling in a human lap and he will definitely bond with his humans. And like his brother, Ember will tag along and help out around the house, or watch intently, interested in the day’s activities, at least until it’s nap time!
At first, Ash may be cautious since it takes him a little bit to warm up to new people. But once he knows you love cats, you are buddies. He’s good with other cats, well-behaved dogs, adults, and older children, but not very interested in toddlers and small kids.
Ash and Ember were rescued by United Paws from a hoarding situation with neglect and hunger. They were among 11 kittens rescued and now, several of the others have already been adopted. These two brothers are ready to have a forever home of their own, together or separately. They are neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and healthy kittens! For more info on these kittens as well as others available for adoption visit United Paws’ website: www.unitedpaws.wordpress.com
You can also call or email United Paws: unitedpawsapps@gmail.com Phone 503-842-5663.

natural materials harvested from around the area), and any natural materials
that you choose to bring. Sculptures can be created and brought to the site too.
Place them on the platforms or on the ground.
Label your work if you so desire.
No tools but your hands (and your mind and your heart) please.

News from the Nehalem Bay Health District
Hospital Road in Wheeler to be Closed October 14-17 Due to Construction
Alternative Routes Will be Available
Hospital Road in Wheeler will be closed from Monday, October 14 to Thursday October 17 due to construction related to the new Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy.
The road closure will impact traffic from 7:00 am until 5:30 pm, while construction crews undertake trenching across Hospital Road so that the new Health Center can tie into the city water main for facility water, as well as for the facility’s fire sprinkler system. A new fire hydrant will also be installed on Hospital Road.
Hospital Road will be open during non-construction hours.
Working with the city of Wheeler an alternative route with signage has been identified to allow access to the existing Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy (the former Rinehart Clinic), the Nehalem Valley Care Center and residential areas above the construction site.
The alternative route will direct traffic up Hall Street in Wheeler, allowing access to areas above and adjacent to Hospital Road.
We appreciate the community’s cooperation and hope to minimize inconvenience for those who normally use Hospital Road for access in the area.

Last call for the Community Grief Retreat this weekend!
There is room for a few more people and scholarships are available. We are offering $50 off registration until Thursday!
Click the link below to register:
www.northfork53.com/events/p/community-grief-ritual
For more information we did several podcasts on grief and community rituals and why we are gathering to do this work.
Check out the podcasts at the link below:
www.northfork53.com/news/2024/9/12/nurture-pod-19-wild-edges-of-grief-and-community
I also offer this for your heart to consider if you are wanting to come but hesitating.
When you turn towards grief expect shame to step in and offer you thoughts like:
You don’t need a grief retreat, that it’s not that bad.
Others have it way worse than you do.
It will be embarrassing to be in front of other people.
You’ll look terrible crying.
What if everyone else can go “there” but you can’t?
You’ll look so weird and feel out of place.
No one will like you. You won’t fit in.
Better to stay home. Watch Netflix. Eat ice cream.
Let those weirdos do grief rituals- that’s not for you.
Shame encourages us to hide. To pretend. To people please. To be “perfect” so no one can really see us.
The only way to rid ourselves of shame is to be brave. To share our hurt with others and see for ourselves that shame has been lying to us all along.
We do share the same emotions.
We all have grief.
We all feel unworthy of love and connection at times.
We all have wanted to belong but felt like outsiders.
We’re all scared, confused and overwhelmed by the world.
This is why it’s so powerful and necessary to do grief work with community.
Shame cannot exist when we show up in a group and share the places in us that have not known love.
