Saying No: A workshop for Nice People

Do you ever hold your tongue, or stop bringing something up after the second mention, only to stew or later explode in frustration?

In this workshop series we will:
Address inner barriers so you can ask for what you need
Transform energetic blockages so you can stand your ground
Find the courage to say what you mean
Relearn body language to support communication
Change vocal habits for better self-expression
Practice using words that are unequivocal, clear, and kind

Find your true YES

You will walk away with the confidence and clarity to deepen your kindness in all your relationships — including with yourself.

Please join NCCWP for a Community Monthly Meeting on August 26, 2025 from 6-7:30pm at St. Mary by the Sea Parish Hall to discuss how we can save our wetlands from development.
All are welcome.

Last summer, the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition challenged the Rockaway Beach Planning Commission’s approval of a 28-unit housing development in the Nedonna Beach neighborhood (which is classified as a freshwater forested and shrub wetland by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). 

At a public hearing, Oregon Shores and many concerned residents spoke out strongly in opposition; however, the City Council voted unanimously to approve the development. In response, Oregon Shores took the case to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA). Oregon Shores is receiving legal support from the Crag Law Center.

Nedonna Development, LLC has requested for the Rockaway Beach City Council to proceed with their application for development after LUBA remanded this issue back to the city. 

The City Council will hold a special public hearing meeting at 5:30 PM on Tuesday, September 9, 2025 at City Hall. 



About Crag Law Center:
Crag Law Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit. Each year, Crag provides $3 million worth of free and low-cost legal services to people who are working on the ground to protect our water, air, wildlife, forests, farmland and communities.

Thanks to everyone who showed up to support our vendors in the rain last week! It was a wet one, but we all made the most of it and were happy to see how many people in our community want to come to market, rain or shine. This week’s weather is looking delightful, and we’re happy to be back to the usual summer program. Summer is in full swing, and we have all the produce and all the things at market this week. Come share the bounty!

We will be debuting our first commemorative Manzanita Farmers Market poster this Friday! We hope to start a tradition of having different art to mark each year of the market. The funds raised from poster sales will be used to help fund the market, and particularly our Triple Up SNAP match program. This year’s poster was made by board member and long time vendor Jordan Gulaskey, and is an original linocut portraying some of the unique offerings of our beloved farmers market! These will be for sale in the market info booth, just inside the entrance. Make sure to get yours!

Music this week will be by Juliet Yanko, a local multi-instrumentalist and award-winning vocalist whose songs summon a deep presence and “will make you laugh and cry as she exposes the sweetness of humanity down to its sexy mortal bones.”

Join us Friday, 4-7, at 635 Manzanita Avenue.

It’s almost time for the annual Manzanita end-of-summer picnic. Beloved by both locals and visitors, this family-friendly Manzanita tradition has provided tasty food for all and funds for North County Food Bank since the 1990s. The event will take place at the Pine Grove Community House at 225 Laneda Ave. on Monday, September 1, from 11 a.m. through 2 p.m.

Manzanita Grocery and Deli, otherwise known as the Little Apple, sponsors the event, providing all of the food. North County Food Bank volunteers dish up hamburgers, hot dogs, salads, drinks, and desserts to residents, second homeowners, and tourists surprised to find a free meal while walking down Laneda Ave.

While there is no specific charge at the door, the event is a fundraiser for the North County Food Bank, and attendees are encouraged to donate money or non-perishable foods. North County Food Bank faces particular challenges this year as the organization must move from its long-time home at the old Wheeler Hospital. The Food Bank appreciates the generosity of both Chung and Judy Lee, owners of the Little Apple, and all those who contribute to help keep North County residents free from hunger. If you can’t make it to the picnic but would like to donate, you can send a check to NCFB, PO Box 162, Wheeler, OR 97147 or donate on the website.

It wouldn’t be a coast market season without at least one soaker, and it’s looking like tomorrow is the day. That said, the show must go on! Market will take place, rain or shine, but we will be closing one hour early in deference to the weather. (Open 4-6 PM)

Farming is a rain or shine endeavor. It’s the middle of August: crops are growing, and they need to be harvested on schedule to keep yields high and production steady. Our farmers only have so many weeks to produce, harvest, and sell everything. Careful planning goes into ensuring a full enough market stand with sales sufficient to carry the business through the winter.

It’s a similar story for our non-farm vendors: market vending is seasonal, and each week is important to ensure a business’s success. We will have a smaller group of vendors tomorrow, since some people’s products are vulnerable to damage in the rain, and they’ve opted not to put their stock at risk. But many of our intrepid coastal vendors will be there tomorrow, and I hope you will too!

We’re coasties. Let’s embrace this rainy climate we all love! Put on your rain gear, come down to the market, and join us in gratitude for the beautiful fresh water that falls from the sky to keep our home clean, cool, green, and beautiful! And let’s enjoy the amazing food supported by that rain: the season is in full swing and you can expect to see all the produce, including abundant tomatoes and corn.

See you at the market, Friday 4-6 pm, 635 Manzanita Ave!
