Her classes have a 5 elements seasonal focus as well. “This means we practice movements specific to each season focusing on our body’s needs according to Traditional Chinese Medicine.”

The New York Times has praised the mystery, Dead Money, as one of the best thrillers of 2025, and author Jakob Kerr will discuss his debut novel at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 18 in the Cannon Beach Library.

Hosted by the library’s NW Authors Series, the presentation is free and open to the public, available in-person at the library or livestreamed via a link on the library’s website. Books will be available for sale.

Set in Silicon Valley, Dead Money begins with the murder of Trevor Canon, the CEO of the hottest startup, Journy. Later it is learned that Canon, who feared such a possibility, had changed
his will to include a “dead money” clause, specifying that, in the event of his murder, his $20 billion in
company stock will remain frozen until his murder is solved.

From there, the story takes numerous twists and turns, involving a ruthless venture capitalist, a young investigator, the FBI and several quirky technology experts who add details to the plot, which continues to surprise through the last page.

In Dead Money, Kerr, the son of Cannon Beach residents Bruce and Lisa Kerr, draws on his experiences to create the novel. Kerr spent 15 years as a lawyer and communications executive in the San Francisco tech industry. He now lives in Seattle.

Publishers Weekly called Kerr a “formidable new talent.”

In addition, the Seattle Times says Dead Money is “exhilarating and unpredictable.”

“Packed with jaw-dropping twists, a compelling outsider heroine and scathing insights into the tech world’s glittering facade, Dead Money is an electrifying debut that demands to be devoured.”

Pete the Cat is one cool dude as he strolls around in his new white shoes. Preschoolers
and their parents and caregivers can find out more about Pete the Cat’s adventures when
attending North Oregon Coast Symphony’s FREE Musical Storytime October 20 at the
Manzanita Library at 10:30. Musical Storytime is a hands-on musical activity for preschoolers.
This free outreach program is for children ages 2-5. This month’s story is Pete the Cat, I
Love My White Shoes and will be accompanied by flute player, Shelley Loring. Pete the Cat is
silly, fun, and has brightly colored illustrations. Pete loves his bright white sneakers so much that
he sings about them wherever he goes. Children will love singing along to this story. Loring will
talk more about her flute after the story is read and demonstrate the various sounds she can
produce. Then different wind instruments will be handed out for the children to play.
Similar events are being planned monthly in partnership between North Oregon Coast
Symphony, North Tillamook Library, Seaside Library, and Astoria Library. For more
information, visit the symphony’s website at www.nocsymphony.org., or seasidelibrary.org, or

Writing Your Own Obituary: We promise you, you will likely regret it if you don’t:)

If you’ve never said “it would be fun to take an obituary writing class,” think again. Who better than you to write your own obituary? And yes, it can be fun and enlightening and motivational. Kathie Hightower always read obituaries, “as an honoring.” Saddened by the many boring ones (likely fill-in-the-blanks at a funeral home), she loved discovering fun ones that really shared the person’s story.
She had only written one, her moms, before Kathie’s husband Greg passed away in April. In writing his, and later seeing another friend’s and thinking (“Oh, I wish I’d included xxx.”:), she thought, “who will write mine?”
“I will,” she decided.
It’s not morbid; it’s practical and life-affirming. Join us to get a good start on you own obituary (and for those planning a tombstone, tips on those as well.)

Kathie Hightower is a member of the Conscious Aging and Creating Community committee. She spent 25 years doing workshops around the world, on Conscious/Joyful Living. She used to teach obituary writing to women in their 20’s and 30’s to help them see whether or not they were living their lives the way they would want to have lived them…the way they would want to be remembered. This is a variation on the theme. Bring a pen and a journal or notebook paper.

Your $5 donation at the door supports the Pine Grove Community House

Bunco Nite is back at the Cannon Beach American Legion—October 15th at 5:30 pm.

Online Poetry Workshop: “Read, Write, Repeat”
with Emily Ransdell

Beginning on October 15th | Ending on November 19th
Sessions on Zoom: Every Wednesday for 6 weeks
5:30pm – 7:00pm
Tuition $125 | Scholarships are available

“Read, Write, Repeat”
A generative poetry workshop for all levels

One of the best ways to learn how to write poems is by reading poems. How did the poet do it? What craft techniques did they use?

Each week we will read one or more poems together and discuss what makes them tick. Then we will turn off our cameras and write a draft of our own, either on a similar theme or using a similar technique. Participants will be encouraged (but not required) to share what they wrote, with the understanding that this is not a critique class. We’re here to learn new writing techniques and to support each other’s efforts.

Between sessions, participants should plan to work further on their in-class drafts and come back prepared to show us how the piece has evolved. This sharing is likewise encouraged, but not required. It’s a rare poem that comes into the world fully formed or even revised to completion within a week. This class is designed to give you six solid drafts worth coming back to. You’ll learn to read like a writer and gain tools and techniques to improve your poems.

Materials needed: Pen & Notebook (or favorite writing materials); Access to Zoom via Laptop, PC, Tablet or Smart Phone is required.

Emily Ransdell’s poetry collection, One Finch Singing, received the Louis Award from Concrete Wolf Press and was published in 2023. Her work has appeared in numerous publications, including Poetry Northwest, Terrain, Rattle, and elsewhere. Emily divides her time between Camas, Washington and Manzanita, where she is a volunteer and frequent teacher in the writing program at the Hoffman Center for the Arts.

November 1st 7:00 p.m. NCRD Performing Arts Center stage. LIBERACE AND LIZA _ A TRIBUTE. An NCRD patron who saw this act in Portland some time ago, when she heard they were coming to Nehalem: “THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS WE HAVE EVER SEEN!” They have performed at Studio 54 in New York City, San Francisco, and many, many more! A wildly improbable but totally irresistible show that imagines what might have happened if Liberace and Liza Minelli ever shared the stage. They didn’t, of course, but thanks to David Saffert and Jillian Snow, now they do! Equal parts tribute, improv, and full-on fever dream, the show blends virtuosic piano playing, powerhouse vocals, and more sequins than is absolutely necessary. The setlist swings from Cabaret and Gershwin to hilarious re-imaginings of Britney Spears and Lady Gaga. THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE called it “SURREAL, YET ODDLY PERFECT!” A fitting description for this dazzling homage.
Reserved seating $30 general admission $25.

Saturday October 18th 7:00 p.m. ComedySportz from Portland on the NCRD Performing Arts Center Stage. Back in 2019 they had the audience rolling in the aisles with their competitive, interactive improv, acting out audience suggestions while competing for points. They return ready to do it again! A referee controls the action and calls fouls if something is considered not family friendly. This troupe has played over 5,600 shows and, as part of CSZ Worldwide, has won 3 world titles. There’s more! On Sunday, the 19th, they will do an “Improv Class”, (free) at 1:00 p.m., and participants can learn improv from the masters!
