******************
Yes For Local Health Care
Voters in north Tillamook County have a chance during the May election to create a new era for local health and senior services.
The Nehalem Bay Health District – primarily the communities of Nehalem, Wheeler, Manzanita and nearby rural areas – is proposing a $10.25 million bond measure that, if passed, will transform health care in those communities.
The bond will support construction of a state-of-the-art, expanded Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy, a facility large enough and modern enough to provide specialty and dental care, and serve more patients close to where they live.
The bond will also renovate and modernize the exiting Nehalem Valley Care Center, a 50-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in Wheeler.
And … finance site preparation furthering the health district’s plans to eventually work with a developer to address health care and essential worker housing in north county.
In one project, the health district will address three critical Oregon coast issues – improved local health care, better options for our growing senior population and a strategy for workforce housing.

This strategic planning event will take place on March 7th at the Manzanita Branch Library starting at 6:00pm. Join Library Director Don Allgeier for a brief overview of the library’s strategic planning process followed by a listening session to provide community members with an opportunity to shape the future of their library.

This orchestra, under the direction of conductor Cory Pederson, is an ensemble of North Coast musicians offering live classical music in local venues. Titled “Playful Inspirations”, the afternoon concerts will feature Serge Prokofiev’s “Peter and the Wolf”. This classic children’s tale set to music is the perfect form for introducing young people to the various orchestral instruments, as each character in the story is represented by a musical “voice.” The narrator will be Liz Cole, an award-winning stage and TV actor (“Seinfeld”, “Star Trek”, “ER”) who now lives in Manzanita.
The program will begin with Peter and the Wolf, and children (with adult supervision) are encouraged to attend. Admission is free for children 12 and under. Cookies and refreshments will be available at intermission.
Other highlights of the concerts include a Vivaldi guitar piece performed by Jim Achilles, and solo piano pieces by Bach and Beethoven performed by Diane Amos. The balance of the program will feature full orchestral works by Mendelssohn, Rossini, and Beethoven.
The first concert will take place on Saturday, March 11, at St. Catherine Episcopal Church (36335 N. Hwy 101, Nehalem, OR) beginning at 3:00 pm. Tickets will be sold at the door only for this concert.
The second concert will be on Sunday, March 12, at the Charlene Larsen Center for the Performing Arts (588 16th St., Astoria, OR) beginning at 3 pm. Tickets will be sold online and at the door for this concert. To purchase tickets online, visit LarsenCenter.org., or by phone at 503-338-9132.

“Hello everyone,
You are invited to come dance and play with an abstract painting. This painting can be felt as a strong living presence.
The painting was created a month ago when planet Earth had a rare visitation of a beautiful comet, only coming close to Earth every 50,000 years. Perhaps you saw images of it. The unique comet energy was said to support a great shift on Earth, from old limited ways to new expansive hearted ways of living and being. Powerful blissful descending energies of the comet were channeled into this painting, bringing down the bright cosmic motions into embodiment.
Let us dance together with these happy energies, and participate in anchoring them further into our bodies and the Earth.” -Shaukya
‘Comet Beneficence’, by Shaukya Dekker. Oil on canvas, 48 x 36 inches, 2023
_____________________
Dance Etiquette:
*Please limit talking on the dance floor. Setup and breakdown is a great time to catch up with people. Stepping into the foyer for conversations during dance would be appreciated.
*All ages and all bodies are welcome. We ask this to be a sober space.
*We are encouraging everyone to be mindful of each other’s safety and health and stay home if you are not feeling well, or have been exposed to someone sick. Follow your own judgment on whether to wear a mask or not.


Communication during and immediately after an emergency is an important component of response and recovery. It connects affected people, families, and communities with first responders, support systems, and other family members.
Communication is one of the most important components of emergency preparedness and response. In many emergencies, especially a major earthquake and tsunami like the anticipated Cascadia Subduction Zone event, usual communication pathways like landlines, cell phones, and the internet will be unavailable.
The Yellow Radio program teaches people to
communicate among neighbors about news, needs, and available local resources.

What’s ART BARN, you ask?
ART BARN is an open studio. A jam session. A friendly place to hang out with other creative minds, doodle, tie-dye, strum, weave or whatever else catches your fancy.
We’ll be there from 6-to-8PM. Feel free to bring snacks, friends, art supplies, guitars and so on.
We know there’ll be a few musicians, so the jam session is on!
If you have any questions, email tolovanaartscolony@gmail.com or call 541-215-4445.
See you at the… BARN!
