Natural Breast Health Workshop

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: wingsforwisdom@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Please join me, Libby Golden Seaver, Health and Movement Coach, for a fun, informative skill sharing evening. This Friday November 21st at Sea Dream Yoga in Nehalem.

October was breast cancer awareness month, but that’s not the only month we should care for our breasts or learn more.

Do you have a breast care routine? Do you know which breast cancer risk factors you align with? Knowledge is power. Learning yours as well as steps you can take to steer away from them instead of deeper into them is possible and less scary when we talk about it together.

In this workshop, you’ll learn a massage routine that doubles as self-exams and includes focus on lymphatic drainage, acupressure, reflexology, aromatherapy. We’ll discuss foods that balance hormonal health and clear excess ones from our bodies. You’ll explore introductory moves to fascia freedom from Joy Lymph Flow classes that are particularly beneficial to breast health. Plus a near-infrared light experience.

Come with the name or location of your favorite mountain/s in our area as we honor our own in the name of preventive wellness.

Workshop is 2.5hrs and is only $44
Link to register: SeaDreamScheduling.as.me/BreastHealth

This is a women’s only workshop. There will be no exposure.

Winter Wreath-Making Workshop

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: vicky@netartsbaywebs.org – Click to email about this post
Join Friends of Netarts Bay Watershed, Estuary, Beach and Sea (WEBS) on Sunday, December 7th, for our annual Winter Wreath-Making Workshop. Come embrace the season and leave with your own handcrafted creation using fresh greens collected by WEBS staff and our guest presenter. Participants will learn how to arrange lush boughs, branches, and foliage to create a stunning wreath, festive swag, or beautiful centerpiece for your home. This popular workshop fills up fast, so don’t forget to register to assure your spot.

WEBS is happy to have Phyllis Holmes, a longtime volunteer of the Netarts Community Club, share her design tips and wreath-making expertise. Throughout the year, Phyllis volunteers her time maintaining the landscaping and flower beds around the Netarts Community Club. For the past several years, Phyllis has offered this seasonal floral arranging workshop to her garden club and has graciously offered to do the same for WEBS again this year. No wreath-making experience is necessary.

We are proud to offer this workshop—and many of our programs and supplies—free of charge to help reduce barriers to participation in our community. Contributions are always welcome and help us offset costs so we can continue offering programs like this for everyone to enjoy. A suggested donation of $25 supports our ongoing community programs, though any amount—or simply your participation—is deeply appreciated.

Essential supplies, including fresh greens to build a complete wreath or swag, will be provided by WEBS. However, if participants are interested, we invite you to bring your own;
Wire cutters, gloves, ornaments, ribbon, bells, and any decorations you would like to include in your project.
Metal wreath frames that participants may want to reuse from previous years.
Holiday fabric or felt to decorate mason jars for centerpiece arrangements.

We ask that you consider using recycled, natural and/or biodegradable materials and supplies whenever possible.

Limited capacity. Registration is required. We want to ensure that as many people are able to enjoy this event as we have space for. If you registered but your plans change, making you unable to attend, please let us know so that we can offer your spot to someone else.

Cannon Beach gathering celebrates Native American Heritage November 15-16

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: wattchildress@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
Come join us friends!

The Gathering, a celebration of Native American Heritage Month, returns to Cannon Beach for a weekend of art, film, conversation and more, November 15th-16th.

In its third year, The Gathering 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.

For more information contact the Tolovana Arts Colony at tolovanaartscolony@gmail.com or 541-215-4445.

We gratefully acknowledge the Clatsop and Nehalem/Tillamook Peoples on whose ancestral homelands we gather!

SPECIAL HEARING FOR FEMA OPTIONS IN ROCKAWAY BEACH

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: Rhonda.nccwp@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
**TODAY is the last chance to submit your comments via email.**

(Comments can still be made in person or via virtual Zoom call during the meeting)

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE

WHAT: City of Rockaway Beach Public Hearing on Ordinance 2025-05 Amending Zoning Ordinance Related to Flood Hazard Overlay Zone and Public Hearing on Ordinance 2025-06 Amending Comprehensive Plan Related to Flood Hazard Overlay Zone

WHEN: Wednesday, November 12, 2025 – 6:00 P.M.

WHERE: Rockaway Beach City Hall, 276 Hwy 101 – Civic Facility

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT?

Per the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), all communities that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) are required to implement Pre-Implementation Compliance Measures (PICMs). These PICMs provide communities with the authority to regulate/limit/prevent development in Special Floodplain Hazard Areas (SFHAs).

This is a significant opportunity to protect our precious floodplains and wetlands and improve public safety. These measures must assure “no net loss” to one or more key floodplain functions. Three broad options were provided which roughly translate to:

Permit-by-Permit – This is considered to be the least protective of SFHAs
Model Ordinance – Moderately protective of SFHAs
Prohibit Development – Most protective of SFHAs

It is important to note that there are active high-level lawsuits that have delayed final direction from FEMA, but these interim ordinance and comprehensive plan modifications will set the stage for how well a community can protect its SFHAs in the meantime. What the City of Rockaway Beach is proposing to adopt on November 12th, is the least protective option of Permit-by-Permit. In fact, the City stated that: “Adoption of the ordinances will ensure compliance with the minimum standards for participation in the NFIP in Oregon” (emphasis added)

HOW TO PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT

• Written Comments may be submitted electronically by sending an email no later than 48 hours prior to the meeting to CityHall@Corb.us
• In Person – sign-up sheet and instructions will be located on the table outside of the meeting room
• Virtually on Zoom – use the “raise hand” feature when the Mayor announces it is time to do so

POTENTIAL TALKING POINTS (questions dick.nccwp@gmail.com)
Request that City does not proceed with the least protective option
Ask the City to consider prohibiting development in the SFHAs which would:
Prevent catastrophic loss to property
Protect our precious wetlands
Protect the groundwater wells that are part of our drinking water system
Protect several species of fish that rely on these areas
Protect other critical species that rely on these ecosystems
Reduce flooding potential
Demonstrating “No Net Loss” to a key floodplain function is extremely difficult to accomplish, regulate, or monitor.
Detailed information on the City’s proposed ordinance and comprehensive plan modifications can be found at Community Development – City of Rockaway Beach

It is important to note that there are active high-level lawsuits that have delayed final direction from FEMA, but these interim ordinance and comprehensive plan modifications will set the stage for how well a community can protect its SFHAs in the meantime. What the City of Rockaway Beach is proposing to adopt on November 12th, is the least protective option of Permit-by-Permit. In fact, the City stated that: “Adoption of the ordinances will ensure compliance with the minimum standards for participation in the NFIP in Oregon” (emphasis added)

POTENTIAL TALKING POINTS (questions dick.nccwp@gmail.com)
Request that City does not proceed with the least protective option
Ask the City to consider prohibiting development in the SFHAs which would:
Prevent catastrophic loss to property
Protect our precious wetlands
Protect the groundwater wells that are part of our drinking water system
Protect several species of fish that rely on these areas
Protect other critical species that rely on these ecosystems
Reduce flooding potential
Demonstrating “No Net Loss” to a key floodplain function is extremely difficult to accomplish, regulate, or monitor.
