THE BEESWAX WRECK OF 1693
Please join Carl Whiting and Tom Mock of the Nehalem Valley Historical Society as we share new artifacts and the most recent recent research on this famous wreck. How have recent discoveries added to our understanding of what happened to the ship?
Were the earthquake and tsunami of 1700 friends or foes of preserving evidence?
The answers may surprise you!

This Saturday North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection (NCCWP) will be showing the film The People vs. Agent Orange at the main branch of the Tillamook County Library located at 1716 3rd Street in Tillamook on Saturday, November 8th at 1pm. Doors open at 12:30pm with the film starting at 1pm. We hope you can join us.

The Agent Orange catastrophe did not end with the Vietnam War. Today, the world over, a primary chemical of the notorious defoliant controls weeds in farming, forestry, parks, along railbeds and roadways, and even in children’s playgrounds. The pesticide can wreak havoc on the human genome, causing deformities and deadly cancers.

This investigative documentary interweaves personal with political struggles as it follows two heroic women who are leading a worldwide movement to hold manufacturers of these pesticides accountable.

After the film, people will have opportunities to learn more about the pesticide-related challenges Oregonians continue to face, especially in the fight to keep surface drinking water safe. Carol Van Strum and Susan Swift, two of the activists starring in the film, will be on hand to answer questions after the movie.

Trailer: https://vimeo.com/user37094368/review/460648960/ebcfe738a1

NCCWP wants no more logging and pesticide use in community water sources regardless of who owns the land, and wants 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 we all are entitled to have.

Here we go friends! November 15 and 16! Come join us!

The Gathering, a celebration of Native American Heritage Month, returns to Cannon Beach for a weekend of art, film, conversation and more. In its third year, the event features a mix of indigenous voices, including filmmaker Katsitsionni Fox (Akwesasne Mohawk Nation), storyteller Karen Kitchen (Osage Nation), scholar Brad Mix (Red River Métis), poet Cliff Taylor (Ponca) and more.
All Gathering events are offered free of charge. Donations are encouraged.

At 7PM on Saturday, November 15th, award winning director Katsitsionni Fox will premiere her upcoming documentary, “Kanenon:we – Original Seeds,” at the Coaster Theatre. The short film follows women responsible for caretaking of traditional seeds whose existence is threatened by centuries of colonial practices. The film explores food security, environmental disconnection, climate change, land theft and more. Following the screening, Fox will be joined by Cliff Taylor for a Q&A.

Earlier on Saturday, the Cannon Beach Library hosts a family-friendly storytelling event with educator Karen Kitchen at 1PM. With traditional stories and song, Kitchen engages children and learners of all ages. Children will also be able to experiment with and make their own indigenous instruments.

On Sunday. November 16th, the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum welcomes Brad Mix for a presentation entitled “Reclaiming the Mixed Blood Story” at 11AM. This conversation will explore mixed-blood identity, not only within the Métis Nation but across Indigenous and mixed-heritage communities today.

“This discussion isn’t just about Métis history,” says Zoe Swain, Cultural Outreach Coordinator at the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum and Gathering co-organizer. “It’s also about mixed ancestry more broadly. The question of ‘how Indigenous are you?’ can be deeply painful for many people of mixed heritage. What’s so inspiring about the Métis Nation is how they celebrate being both European and Indigenous, embracing that dual identity as strength, not conflict.”

The Gathering is produced by Cannon Beach community nonprofits, including: The Tolovana Arts Colony, Cannon Beach History Center & Museum, The Coaster Theatre Playhouse and the Cannon Beach Library. Sponsored by Escape Lodging.

NCRD announces the November Art show at the Gallery will have its opening on Friday, November 7 from 9-11 am. Since the first Friday of the month is Scone Friday where the public is invited to come have a scone (or other goody) and a cup of coffee, we decided to combine the two this month.

The theme of the show is “Light”. It is interesting to see how the the 20 or so artists interpreted that.

NCRD is locate at 36155 9th Street in Nehalem.

Regarding the insights about the law for Collector streets being 22′ wide vice the narrow 20′ proposed by the CM, the following could be the only solution to have a 22′ road:
Make the walkway 48″. This gives you a 22 foot wide road.
“Key ODOT rules and requirements
Other relevant factors 
* Minimum width: A typical public walkway minimum width is 48 inches, allowing two people to walk side-by-side”
Simple, no?
This would also up the safety factor for pedestrians as vehicles would have extra room that could prevent crashes and incidental injury to pedestrians. Bicycles, as the speed limit is 20MPH and there are traffic smoothing bumps to slow traffic. Perfect for mixing in bikes and keeping the path for pedestrians only.
Hope the Council members can do something for the long-term safety of pedestrians as well as the increasing traffic.
Of course, the State will be fronting $2.7 million of the $3 million cost for this. Manzanita could have had, for a decent dollar amount additional, (and there’s a lot of money in the Manzanita City reserves that could have been used) a retaining wall on the west that would have retained the blacktop from slumping on the west.
And, oh by the way, the downhill “hotel” construction will be starting soon, and that steep slope (over 30 degrees in places) will be close to or part of the construction effort. So now, with a new structure downhill, that west retaining wall will never be built.
But, as I wrote recently, it is too late, and the Council has already congratulated itself (see it on the video) and the CM for the “workarounds”. Well, it was a workaround to diss the $400,000 cost of design of a nationally known engineering company. And so it goes. Classic.

Conscious Aging and Community Connections (CACC)
November 10, 2025, 2 – 4PM
Pine Grove Community Center
Manzanita

Aging With Grace in Cape Meares

At CACC gatherings, we highlight concerns around aging in place in our small communities, and facilitate social connections that enrich our lives.
Our villages in the Nehalem Bay Area comprise a naturally occurring retirement community — a place where more than half the residents are of retirement age. Yet there are not sufficient services to support aging in place; we rely on neighbors helping neighbors.
A shining example community self-reliance, the village of Cape Meares has taken on the aging-in- place challenge.

The tiny village of Cape Meares, tucked along the northern foot of the towering Cape Meares, is home to only 90 full-time residents. Median age in the village is 75 years.

Join us November 10, 2 to 4PM, to learn how residents of this isolated village are actively nurturing a community of support and awareness to prepare residents for aging-in-place and end of life.

We welcome Beverly Stein, Kathy Burke and Narayan Lincoln from the Aging With Grace program of the Cape Meares Community Association to the Pine Grove in Manzanita. It’s an opportunity to learn from this proactive group, exchange ideas, share resources and envision collaboration between our small North Coast communities. Come join the conversation!

A $5 contribution supports the Pine Grove Community house.

A new Quaker silent reflection group is meeting at 5PM on Wednesdays at St. Catherine Church in Nehalem. We begin with a short reading from a Quaker source then sit in silence together for about 45 minutes. This practice is not so much the silence as the opportunity to listen through the silence to one’s inner wisdom, or Light as we Quakers say.
Please feel free to join us. No experience necessary. We are a welcoming group.
