Zine Making 101 with Summer
Sunday, September 27, 1-3pm
at HoC Studio, 395 Nehalem Blvd, Wheeler

Zines are DIY magazines featuring writing, collage, art, ideas and opinions. You can share your story easily without the use of a screen or the internet. The possibilities of what you can create in your zine are open to whatever you can imagine! There are no rules!
You’ll see examples of zines from Summer’s collection from the 90s Riot Grrrl movement to modern photography zines. We’ll use paper, stamps, collage, art, fabric and whatever materials inspire us to create our own individual zines. This is a beginner friendly workshop.

What you will learn: How-to create physical media using materials you already have. By repurposing materials for zines, we will be subverting traditional methods of media production (mass market paper production relies on global deforestation) and keeping materials like magazines, paper/fabric scraps, paper maps and newspapers out of the landfill. In addition, if you choose to distribute your zine, the method to do so is a slow, local and more sustainable way to market your zines.

Join us!

Join us this Friday from 4-7 for the second to last farmers market of the season! It looks like another beautiful day for a market, and this is one of your last chances to stock up on local summer produce, meats, bread, seafood, flowers, canned goods, artisan crafts, and more. It’s also the second to last week to triple your SNAP benefits at the market, spend $20 and get $60 to spend this week and next at the Manzanita Farmers Market.

Music this week is by local band “The Ferrets”. The guitarists from Rhythm Method have teamed up with other local musicians to bring you Americana, Folk, and 70s music. Enjoy a smoothie or some tacos (Gnarly’s will be back for one more market!) and dance along.

This week we’ll be joined by Josi Farms, bringing a wide selection of delicious produce. They do weekly deliveries to Manzanita throughout the winter, so be sure to stop by and get on their mailing list! Moon River also continues to do pop ups at Wolf Moon Bakery in Nehalem after the season ends, check with them for an updated schedule. Wolf Moon offers online ordering for pickup on Saturdays and Sundays in Nehalem, and NeahKahNie Smokehouse is open at their shop in Wheeler.

Our final market of the season will be next week, on September 25. We’ll be serving up free ice cream to celebrate another successful market season, so save the date! The final market will end at 6 (that’s an hour shorter than usual) so you all don’t have to shop in the dark.

See you this Friday from 4-7 at 635 Manzanita Avenue behind City Hall!

Sunday Sept 20 5pm HOC Studio (Heart of Cartm) 395 Nehalem Blvd Wheeler
Four local pizza makers have elected to be part of something delicious—and something bigger than pizza—a community night where people will gather over free pizza to connect with one another and begin creating a community “Wishing Wall” filled with dreams, hopes, and possibilities.
Pizza…the fuel for Dreams of tomorrow….Now that’s delicioous…
Marzano’s, Mama Mia’s, The Porchlight and The Salmonberry are donating 2 large pizzas each so free pizza can be offered to a room full of hungry community members who join together to put their dreams for our community on a weather proof tag. The tags will then be put on the chain link fence at the blinking light in Nehalem, owned by Rocinante LLC.
To add a little spicy competition, attendees will be voting for their favorite pizza! At the end of the night, one restaurant will take home the highly coveted “Best Pie in the North Coast Community” trophy—and, more importantly, every participating pizza maker will be recognized as a local business helping bring this community vision and dreaming to life.
Please support our pizza donors!
Pizza ‘N Progress is part of a new program of local nonprofit Fulcrum Community Resources called People, Place & Possibility. It’s a community project designed to bring neighbors together to imagine, dream, and share their hopes for the future of our community.
Other component are: the “You May Say I’m a Dreamer” Art Show coming to NCRD in Nehalem in October; Expression Nights where people share their thoughts on certain topics, and a Community Gathering in spring of 2027 where we take the tags on the fence and brainstorm how to put them in action
On Sept 20 it’s good pizza, good people, a little friendly competition, and a chance to be part of something positive happening right here in our community.

Four score and seven years ago, movie tickets probably weren’t free.

But, in honor of the 16th president, they will be.

The Tillamook County Pioneer Museum (TCPM), thanks to a generous grant from Tillamook
High School Charity Drive, is hosting a free movie showing of “Lincoln” at the Tillamook
Coliseum Theater on October 3 beginning at 6 pm.

The 2012 film, directed by Steven Spielberg, is set in January 1865. President Abraham Lincoln
(played by Daniel Day-Lewis) races against time to pass the 13th Amendment through the House
of Representatives.

Prior to the film showing, guests are invited to arrive early for a meet-and-greet and photos with
“Honest Babe Lincoln,” a remarkably good look-alike of Abraham Lincoln. TCPM will have
Abraham Lincoln themed books and stickers for sale, and the theater’s concessions will be open.
Movie admission is free, though donations are always appreciated. Doors open at 5 pm.

And why the concentration of Lincoln history?

Well, TCPM has a surprisingly serious collection
devoted to Abraham Lincoln.

To celebrate America’s 250th, TCPM is displaying an original curation: “Lincoln’s Legacy.” The
exhibit highlights Abraham Lincoln’s life and political career with a gallery of text panels,
facsimiles, photographs, folk art, and other memorabilia.

“We chose to feature Abraham Lincoln because his legacy transcends time to impact American
politics 150+ years after his assassination,” TCPM Exhibit & Program Developer Jenny Teece
said. “As we reflect on the founding and evolution of our nation, his story is just one thread in
the tapestry of American history.”

In his death, Abraham Lincoln was anchored as a national martyr while his legacy has been
analyzed, scrutinized, and preserved by many around the world, including Oregon’s own Mark
O. Hatfield.

A lifelong student of Abraham Lincoln’s political career and legacy, Senator Hatfield was an avid
collector of Lincoln memorabilia. Much of which was gifted to him by constituents,
congressional peers, and even presidents. A portion of his collection was gifted to the Tillamook
County Pioneer Museum in 1997, with an additional donation in the early 2000s.

“Lincoln’s Legacy” is now on display at TCPM through October 2026.

The Tillamook County Pioneer Museum is open Tuesday – Saturday, 10 am – 4 pm. Admission,
special event listings, and more can be found at tcpm.org.

September market vibes are here, and last week was full of moody clouds and rainbows and just a hint of rain in the sunshine.  Market goes through the end of September, our last day is Sept 25.

Fulton Farms will be back this week, and we’ve got a full roster of vendors.  NeahKahNie Smokehouse unfortunately can’t make it, their distributor had an emergency and they are closed all weekend.  But TreFin seafood will have smoked albacore and sablefish, along with canned tuna and frozen filets, and OYS will be back with oysters to eat on site or take home!

This will be the final week of the season for Malia’s Grill, so get your poke while you still can.  Sasquatch Sandwiches and Gnarly’s Tacos are moving onto other projects for the fall, and we’ll have to wait until spring to see them back at market (check out Gnarly’s at her food cart in Nehalem!).  We’ll still have hot mini donuts, smoothies, and mini pancakes, as well as oysters and fries, through the end of September.

Also at market this week are elections for the mayor of Muttzanita, and if you come to the stage at 5 you’ll be able to meet all the candidates as they try to wag their way into favor with the people.  Get ready for cuteness.  Spindriff trio will be bringing jazz tunes to fill the September skies.

One of the services I get asked about most is knife sharpening, and I’m happy to say that Lost Line Sharpening will be at market for the remainder of the season.  Bring your dull knives and pruners, and he will sharpen them for you while you shop.  Find him in booth 14, across from the Hummus Stop.

See you Friday 4-7 at 635 Manzanita Ave!

Lianyong was found unresponsive during morning checks and transported to the Commonwealth Health Care Corporation Emergency Room where he passed away. His official cause of his death remains under investigation. He is the fifth Chinese National to die in ICE custody since the beginning of last year.

If you missed it in Nehalem (July) or Cannon Beach (August), or as many that are planning to see it again before it’s gone, this is your last chance to catch Bryan Churchill’s new acclaimed stageplay, “The Silent Measure.” 

Audience response has been overwhelmingly resonant. “The biggest takeaway has been how deeply it’s sticking with people,” says Churchill. “Folks are still coming up to talk about the play, the dialogue, the acting, and the questions the story leaves to ponder.” 

The HipFish just ran a review in this month’s issue: “Churchill’s use of storytelling to inspire demonstrates a power of connection that is unattainable through technology… Audience reflection on the concepts of chaos, uncertainty, and creativity as aspects of human connection among artificial intelligence is a solid measurement of [the play’s] success…” 

We are living through a strange moment in our collective history. The tools we’ve built to assist us have quietly learned to anticipate us while silently taking over our lives, turning up the pressure on what it means to be conscious, alive, real, even loved. This play is about what happens when our interactions with technology get pressed to the point where something has to give.

The play closes next month in Astoria at Ten Fifteen Productions | September 10, 11 & 12, 2026.

Tickets are available at the door and online at www.thesilentmeasure.com.

You may also use the QR Code listed on the poster for this announcement to reserve tickets.
