I’m driving to Tillamook on October 11th to dispose of some household poisons that were part of a cleanup I helped with. It occurred to me that many people might have a bottle or two of toxic goodness that they want to dispose of. If so, let me know. I’ve got plenty of room, and if you have that one thing that was very useful and is now kinda creepy, get ahold of me.

Your support makes a real difference in our community!

Upcoming Events
Nehalem Protest

NO KINGS National Protest Day
Date, Saturday, October 18
Time: Noon – 2 PM
Location: Manzanita (Highway 101 at Laneda Avenues)

North Coast Resistance will join millions across the United States for this significant event. Mark your calendar and invite your loved ones to participate!
Volunteer Opportunities: Safety & Security Team-for October 18th.

We need 8-10 volunteers to help with traffic safety, setting up and removing cones and ribbon, and assisting with crowd management. Volunteers will help keep everyone safe by encouraging attendees to stay on the west (beach) side of Highway 101 and by helping at the Manzanita Lumber Yard crossing.

4-6 volunteers are needed throughout the crowd to help as needed. Orange vests will be provided to help identify Safety and Security Team members.

If you are interested in joining the Safety and Security Team, please contact Patty at 503-368-6081. Thank you for helping keep our events safe!

Safety Training information: TRAININGS — No Kings.
Community Engagement
Protest Chant Contest: We’re looking for a unified, positive message to share with passersby during the protest-the people with the hand gestures. Ideas so far include “I love you” and “Wake up.” Let us know what you’d like our group to say—let’s keep it clean and impactful!

Looking Ahead: As the weather changes, we’re considering other community projects over the holidays and a letter-writing campaign. Share your ideas with us! We know everybody won’t want to subject to the weather.

Support the North County Food Bank
Please bring canned food, cash, or checks to donate. Every contribution goes directly to the North County Food Bank in Wheeler. Thank you to everyone who donates and helps fight hunger in our community!

Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm. We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events!

Liberace and Liza – A Tribute.. Coming to the NCRD Performing Arts Center stage Saturday, November 1st, 7:00 p.m. This wildly improbable and completely irresistible show imagines what might have happened if Liberace and Liza Minelli ever shared the stage. Equal parts tribute, improv, and full-on fever dream, the show blends virtuosic piano playing, powerhouse vocals, and more sequins than strictly necessary. The setlist swings from Cabaret to Gershwin to hilarious re-imaginings of Britney Spears and Lady Gaga. The San Francisco Chronicle called it: “Surreal, yet oddly perfect!” Reserved seating $30, general admission $25.

We hope to see you at the upcoming Community Meeting on Tuesday, September 30 at 6p.m. All are welcome!

Living in this fragile area near the ocean, wetlands, and forested areas, reminds us of the many ways having a healthy ecological system is crucial to our community’s health and wellbeing. Let us all become caring stewards of the wild that surrounds us. The beavers and other wild creatures who depend on the wetlands will thank you.

NCCWP wants no more logging and pesticide use in drinking water sources regardless of who owns the land, and we want an end to pesticide
applications near where people live, work and recreate. Safe drinking water and clean air are part of the public trust that all people are entitled to have. www.healthywatershed.org | www.facebook.com/NCCWATERSHEDPROTECTION

Join us on Friday to build public-access trails on Alder Creek Farm! Our Stewardship Crew meets from 10:00AM – 12:00PM every Friday.

These work parties are beginner friendly and an opportunity to learn about the engineering of hiking trails.

Alder Creek Farm and Natural Area’s Nehalem Teaching Trail already supports an impressive variety of native plants and simulated ecosystems for community learning—but we’re looking to grow. This short trail will extend educational access into a different ecosystem and connect to the Natural Area’s pollinator meadow. We hope it will also add some variety to habitat access for bird watchers who visit the farm as a part of the Oregon Coast Birding Trail.

Tools and gloves are provided, new volunteers welcome and no prior experience needed. We will be working on uneven ground, bending, and moving small rocks and brush during this process. Join as frequently as you please. Email shane@nehalemtrust.org for weekly updates on where to meet.

You may have seen me painting these at the Manzanita Farmer’s Market or on the beach this summer… I’m a local artist and art teacher.

I’ll be teaching a painting class intensive in October… 4 classes in two weeks. Topics will include composition, drawing, color, tone/value, edges, brushwork and palette knife work. The building blocks of a successful painting!

I’ll be using oils and demonstrating in that medium. If you prefer, you can use acrylics or gouache. Each class will have a short lecture to start and then you’ll put those principles into action as you work on your individual painting. Some art history will also be part of the class, as I focus on a particular artist that was a master of our ‘topic of the day’.

The class will be in Garibaldi Oregon. We’ll meet October 14, 16, 21 & 23… Each Tuesday and Thursday from 4:30 pm to 7:00 pm. It will be a very small class so lots of time for individual attention.

All levels are welcome. I’m offering two ways to take the class. If you have all your own painting supplies, the cost will be $120 for the entire session. OR, I can provide all oil painting supplies you’ll need and you just bring brushes (and a palette knife if you’d like) for $160 for the session. Tables and chairs are provided, stand if you prefer.

The class has limited spaces. I’m asking for a 50% deposit to secure your spot. The deposit of $60 or $80 (including supplies) can be made via card, check or cash.

Contact me anytime with questions or to sign up… Shirl

In gratitude for the enthusiastic responses to its past performances, on October 4 the North Oregon Coast Symphony will present a FREE classical music concert featuring small wind and string ensembles at St. Catherine Episcopal Church in Nehalem.

For several years, the symphony performed regularly at St. Catherine until it outgrew the venue. Because musicians loved playing at the church, with its wonderful acoustics and appreciative audiences, several small groups made up of current and former symphony members have put together a program of chamber music suited for the smaller venue.

Queentet–a string quartet plus clarinet– will play movements from Mozart’s famous clarinet quintet, K 581. A trio of flutes will present two contemporary pieces, one of which, Birds, has movements entitled Birdsong, Flight, and The Journey. The FAB piano trio (violin, cello, piano) will perform the gentle second movement from Mendelssohn’s first piano trio. The Astoria Tuba Quartet will round out the program with a selection of pieces by composers ranging from the baroque-era Buxtehude to the local (Peninsula) Norm Poulshock.

The concert will take place on Saturday, October 4 at St. Catherine Episcopal Church (36335 N. Hwy 101, Nehalem, OR ) beginning at 3 pm.

There will be no fee for admission, but donations are encouraged.
