We still have collection boxes available throughout the community for the next couple of weeks, so we welcome all pet food donations to those locations!
We are also going to have a box at the White Clover Grange holiday bazaar on Saturday, December 9 (starting at 11am).
On Thursday, December 7 at 6:00 pm, Herb Hammond, a forest ecologist and retired professional forester with over 45 years of experience in the fields of forest research, ecologically sustainable forest plans, consultation, and public education, will give a Zoom talk entitled “Forests for Water or Timber: A Clearcut Problem.” Mr. Hammond and his spouse, Susan, co-founded the Silva Forest Foundation, a non-profit organization devoted to research and guidance in ecosystem-based conservation planning. He has helped Indigenous and rural communities across several continents create over 25 ecosystem-based conservation plans. Mr. Hammond has been the recipient of Canada’s Gold Award for Sustainable Living and has authored several award-winning books, including “Seeing the Forest Among the Trees: The Case for Wholistic Forest Use.”
The presentation is being coordinated by the North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection, in collaboration with the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition, the Lower Nehalem Community Trust, and the Peachland Watershed Protection Alliance (Peachland, BC). In his presentation, Mr. Hammond will address what comprises a healthy watershed, how watersheds provide high quality water in moderate flows, and how water may be degraded by inappropriate human activities. He will also discuss the current health of watersheds, both forested and clearcut, ranging from coastal Oregon to British Columbia. This will provide insight into the direct interactions between deforestation, extreme weather events, and climate change. Mr. Hammond will address what needs to be done to restore and safeguard forested drinking water sources. He will include his personal insights based on his review of reports and images on the current condition of Jetty Creek Watershed, which is the primary source of drinking water for Rockaway Beach. Mr. Hammond’s talk will conclude with a question-and-answer period.

This event is hosted by the North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection (formerly known as Rockaway Beach Citizens for Watershed Protection), a 13-year-old grassroots organization located on the North Coast of Oregon. While NCCWP opposes logging and spraying in all drinking watersheds, we continue to focus on Jetty Creek in Rockaway Beach because it offers the best example of how logging activities were allowed to compromise, and possibly destroy, a town’s drinking water. Our goal is to prevent logging and spraying in our drinking watersheds. Our mission is to raise awareness to accomplish this goal.

In this week’s episode in the tumultuous world of Manzanita, the councilors are facing their toughest challenges yet. Join us as they meet behind closed doors in an intense executive session to tackle the city’s most controversial issues!
What’s on their agenda? Should they reveal the shocking details of a $90,000 legal bill to the public on top of the recent $42,000 charge? Should they reveal what’s hidden within those legal charges to the citizens?? Should they disclose the details of the lawsuit between the City Manager and the city? Are other lawsuits on the horizon? After pressure from councilors and the Mayor’s sudden resignation, can they find an interim Mayor candidate who won’t challenge their motives? After dipping into the water fund, will they dare to do it again, especially after raising water rates? Should they take out a loan for a multi-million dollar City Hall after denying voters the chance to vote on it? Can they successfully divert the probing questions from the public?
Get ready for a rollercoaster of suspense, drama, and intrigue that will leave you on the edge of your seat! Will Manzanita’s councilors manage to keep their secrets hidden, or will the truth be exposed, shaking the city to its core?
Tune in to “The Tides Of Manzanita” and find out what happens when power, deception, and ambition collide in this gripping soap opera that will keep you guessing until the very end! Don’t miss it – this Wednesday’s Council Meeting!

A CHRISTMAS STORY:
Humorist Jean Shepherd’s memoir of growing up in the Midwest in the late 1930s follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun under the tree for Christmas.
Ralphie pleads his case before his mother, his teacher, and even Santa Claus himself at Higbee’s Department Store. The consistent response: “You’ll shoot your eye out!”
All the elements from the beloved motion picture are here, including the family’s temperamental exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the boys’ experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin; Ralphie’s father winning a lamp shaped like a woman’s leg in a net stocking; Ralphie’s fantasy scenarios and more.
A Christmas Story, a theatrical holiday treat!
