Nautical Historian Peter Marsh Liberty Ships Talk at Fort Clatsop

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

The Lewis & Clark National Park Association is pleased to announce a guest author event: Liberty Ships with Peter Marsh. This free event will take place on May 4, 2025, at 2 PM in the Netul River Room of the Visitor Center at Lewis and Clark National Historical Park.
Nautical/outdoor journalist and author Peter Marsh of Liberty Factory – The Untold Story of Henry Kaiser’s Oregon Shipyards will speak about the WWII Kaiser shipyards on the Columbia and Willamette Rivers, beginning with 2025 being the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day or V-E Day on May 8, 1945. Autographed books and historical cards will also be available.
Peter Marsh was born in Greenwich, in the heart of Britain’s maritime heritage, and was soon smitten with a love of small boats and sailing. These adventures gave him the raw material for articles in regional boating magazines, his first published works. Success in this field led him into a career as a freelance journalist and he widened his scope to cover all aspects of local maritime interest from fishing to commercial shipping. in 1996 he inherited a substantial archive of papers and photographs from Larry Barber, the retired marine editor of the local newspaper, The Oregonian. A visit to the D-Day beaches in Normandy led him to look more closely at Barber’s wartime material. Peter has spent the last several years sorting, collating and editing the material, while also researching the background, and this book is the result.
This event is sponsored by the Lewis & Clark National Park Association (LCNPA) and hosted at Lewis and Clark National Historical Park. The Fort Clatsop Bookstore is a program of the LCNPA, a nonprofit 501c3 supporting education at the park since 1963. The bookstore is located inside the visitor center at 92343 Fort Clatsop Road, Astoria, OR 97103 and online at FortClatsopBookstore.com & LewisAndClarkNPA.org

The Lower Nehalem watershed is full of bird-lovers, but how do we make our community and towns beloved by birds? These ‘Shared Spaces’ are the focus of 2025’s Migratory Bird Day Celebration.
Gather at Alder Creek Farm on Sunday, May 25th for a day of guided bird walks, ‘Big Sit’ observation station, kid’s activities and learning opportunities! Together, we’ll identify challenges birds face in our own community and consider how to make the spaces we share with birds safer and more welcoming. There will be no shortage of fun for bird enthusiasts of all ages at this family-friendly event. Bring binoculars, or borrow a pair of ours! No prior birding experience is necessary.
Guided bird walks will depart from the farm. One will begin at 10AM, and another at 11:30AM, following two route options: one on flat terrain and one that traverses up a medium slope to the upper riparian areas above Alder Creek.
If exploring over uneven ground isn’t your thing, join us at our ‘Big Sit’ station. Or visit the interpretive tables hosted by Hoffman Center for the Arts, Oregon Parks & Recreation, Seven Capes Bird Alliance, Haystack Rock Awareness Program (HRAP), Bird Alliance of Oregon, and the Wildlife Center of the North Coast.

Come see local kids from Tillamook and Clatsop counties perform Willy Wonka Jr. at the Coaster Theatre this weekend! There will be singing, dancing and plenty of Oompa Loompas!!

Performances are on May 2nd and 3rd at 7:30 and May 4th at 3:00pm.

The delicious adventures of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory light up the stage in this captivating adaptation of Roald Dahl’s fantastical tale. Featuring the enchanting songs from the 1971 film, in addition to a host of fun new songs, Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka Jr. is a scrumdidilyumptious musical guaranteed to delight everyone’s sweet tooth.

Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka Jr. follows enigmatic candy manufacturer Willy Wonka as he stages a contest by hiding golden tickets in five of his scrumptious candy bars. Whomever comes up with these tickets will win a free tour of the Wonka factory, as well as a lifetime supply of candy. Four of the five winning children are insufferable brats, but the fifth is a likeable young lad named Charlie Bucket, who takes the tour in the company of his equally amiable grandfather. The children must learn to follow Mr. Wonka’s rules in the factory — or suffer the consequences.

Cannon Beach Library to Host Poet and Artist Daniela Naomi Molnar

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: nmccarthy1276@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
The Cannon Beach Library will welcome Portland poet and artist Daniela Naomi Molnar at 2 p.m. Saturday, April 26, for National Poetry Month.
This presentation won’t be livestreamed, but will be recorded and available to watch here later.
Molnar is a poet, artist and writer who works with color, water, language and place. Her debut book, CHORUS, won the 2024 Oregon Book Award for Poetry.
The book is described on Molnar’s website as a “celebration of language’s capacity to supersede bodily limits, mortality and existential loneliness. Daniela Naomi Molnar’s chorus encompasses violence, love, empathy, fear, a burning planet, a pandemic, heartbreak, desire, joy and grief. Rather than seeking resolution, these poems look through the lens of a fragmented self, dwelling in plurality, discord and harmony.”
She creates paintings using pigments made from plants, bones, stones, rainwater and glacial melt. Her writing develops alongside this work, with each practice influencing the other to form new ecologies.
Her work is the subject of a front-page feature in the Los Angeles Times, a PBS Oregon Art Beat profile, an entry in the Oregon Encyclopedia, and a feature in Poetry Daily.
Molnar’s art has been shown nationally, is in public and private collections internationally and has been recognized by numerous grants, fellowships and residencies. She founded the Art + Ecology program at the Pacific Northwest College of Art and helped start and run the backcountry artist residency Signal Fire.
