Local Nehalem artist Lane deMoll will be giving 3-card tarot readings at Wild in Manzanita this coming Saturday 12/14 from 1-4 pm. She’ll be using the deck she created. Readings will be 10-15 minutes for $20. Her deck will be available for sale during the afternoon.

Although Lane has been reading cards since 1995, the paintings in Lane’s Greenwitch Tarot were not done with a deck in mind. Rather they were created over the past 30 years of her own process and journey. She gives readings in her booth all summer at the Manzanita Farmer’s Market as well as longer in depth readings at her home.

Lane has lived in the community almost 50 years and helped start a number of local institutions including Fire Mountain School, CARTM Recycling, Lower Nehalem Community Trust, NeahCasa and Fulcrum Community Resources. More information about her, the deck and her paintings can be found on her website lanedemoll.com.

Neighbors and Friends: Join Us Tonight for RB City Decision on Nedonna Wave Appeal
The effort to save the Nedonna Beach wetlands continues. As you know, the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition filed an appeal of the Rockaway Beach Planning Commission’s approval of the proposed Nedonna Wave Planned Unit Development, Phase 2 (PUD-24). Thanks go to those who have attended or watched both the Rockaway Beach Planning Commission meetings and the City Council meetings regarding the appeal. Special thanks go to those who have given in-person testimony and/or have submitted comments to the City. The level of public support for the appeal has been strong and heartening. Plus the yard signs with the image of a kingfisher have helped generate attention to the environment that would be lost or further imperiled by allowing this PUD to be built.

Please consider attending one final Rockaway Beach City Council meeting regarding this issue on Wednesday, December 11 at 6:00 p.m. At that meeting, the Council will deliberate and decide either to support the appeal of Nedonna Wave or reject it. This will be a regular agenda item and, it seems, this will be one of the first items to be decided. (In other words, it shouldn’t be necessary to sit through the whole meeting to hear the decision.) The more people who show up in person (or who watch on Zoom), the better. City Council members need to see that we are not indifferent to this development. The appeal records have now been closed; therefore, no more testimony will be accepted. However, it is still important to show support for the appeal by attending in person or by Zoom, talking with neighbors and friends, posting on social media, and writing letters to the media. City Council meetings take place at Rockaway Beach City Hall; 276 Hwy 101; Rockaway Beach, Oregon.

To attend by Zoom go to: us06web.zoom.us/j/84950026492pwd=mmfbausHKydtb87Aas6O63JJKC9BQK.1

Friday, December 21, 6:00 pm at the Bay City Arts Center:

Creative and reflective journaling isn’t just for “writers.” This is for everyone. The simple act of writing helps unlock parts of the subconscious, and is an incredible tool for healing and growth.

Celebrate the solstice by going inward with me. As we approach the longest night of the year, we’ll gather in a cozy space with blankets, candles, tea, and snacks. Together, we’ll move through exercises to help you tap into your inner world and cultivate a personal writing practice.

We can’t wait to see you there!

SAVE OUR WETLANDS! – SUPPORT THE APPEAL!
Please attend the upcoming Rockaway Beach City Council Meeting on Wednesday, December 11th at 6 pm.
City council members will be voting on whether or not to support the appeal filed by Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition against the proposed Nedonna Wave Planned Unit Development (PUD-24). During the November 20th City Council hearing, a decision was made to defer the vote until the meeting on December 11. North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection is urging all community members to attend and make it clear that we prioritize the protection of our wetlands over allowing a developer to profit at the expense of our environment.
City Council meetings take place at Rockaway Beach City Hall; 276 Hwy 101; Rockaway Beach, Oregon. To attend by Zoom, click here: us06web.zoom.us/j/84950026492…
NCCWP extends sincere thanks to all those who contributed written and oral comments in support of the appeal. We also express our gratitude to the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition and the Crag Law Center for their invaluable guidance and legal support. The Public Hearing is now officially closed, meaning no further evidence, arguments, or testimony can be submitted to the City Council. However, it is still crucial to continue supporting the appeal. We encourage you to attend the upcoming meeting on December 11th, engage in discussions with neighbors and friends, share information on social media, and write letters to the media to keep the momentum going.
