Tired of angry, divisive politics? Let’s try this, getting together for civil conversations about the things that matter to us. I’m looking for “lean reds”, “lean blues” and “in-betweens”. Let’s get together on Zoom and see where we end up. My hope is that we’ll have a better understanding of each other. This week let’s talk about our views on U.S. involvement in Ukraine invasion by Russia. Ground rules are very simple. (1.) Everybody brings their best manners. (2.) Nobody talks for more than 4 minutes at a stretch. (3.) Nobody comes to win an argument or change anybody’s mind. (4.) Listening is more important than talking. Zoom meetings Friday’s at 9 AM, invite link below us06web.zoom.us/j/81863487074?pwd=v1VrpdHv8Q42BH51gb1P0tYPPz6fbL.1

Members of the NKN High School choir will be performing as the opener for the masterful jazz-funk-fusion quartet Garaj Mahal. The show begins at 4pm on Sunday, October 1st at the White Clover Grange Hall on Hwy 53.

When he was a child, Haque traveled with his parents all over the world, spending time in Spain, France, and Iran, in addition to Pakistan and Chile. In 1981 he was given a guitar scholarship from North Texas State University, where he studied jazz guitar. He left after a year and studied classical guitar at Northwestern University. At Northwestern, he joined Howard Levy’s jazz fusion group Chevere. Levy introduced him to Cuban saxophonist Paquito D’Rivera, who became a lifelong friend and mentor.

It’s going to be a big apple year!
Come Join our Heritage Apple Tasting Harvest Festival

The White Clover Grange is doing a project collecting information about the heritage apple trees in the Nehalem Valley (pears and crab apples too!)

We have been interviewing our long-term Grange members, driving around and identifying where many of the trees still are and collecting some wonderful stories along the way.

On October 14th from 1-4, the Grange will host The Heritage Apple Festival featuring cider, apple treats and a tasting of the fruit of our community’s heritage trees. We want to locate the best apples and pears for baking, cider making and simply eating fresh. As many of the trees are really old now, we hope to graft these treasures and continue growing the varieties that thrive here on the coast.

We have found a lot of beautiful old trees but we are sure there are more! This is where you come in. If you have old trees on your property that are still producing, and you would like to participate in the tasting, please contact Jennifer Childress at 503-368-5886 or email at goatherd@nehalemtel.net. We are looking for apples from trees planted before 1970, though sometimes we don’t know when they were planted and just know that they’re OLD! And that’s fine. We would love to include them.

Even if you don’t have old apple trees, we’ll be making cider and the public is welcome to bring apples for pressing. Bring your own jars and you can take home your cider. Donations for this are welcome.

The following instructions will help you keep your apples fresh for the tasting. Or if you need assistance, we would be happy to help you pick and store the fruit.

Many thanks to the Tillamook County Cultural Coalition for funding this project of the White Clover Grange.

Instructions for participating in the heritage apple tasting

Pick 12 ripe apples or pears off the tree (not off the ground)
Place in crisper in the refrigerator, if picked prior to mid-October
When the time comes for the tasting, place in paper bag and label bag with a sharpie.
Helpful information to include:
Name of variety if known
Date picked
General location of tree (ie Nehalem, Hwy 53 above/below McDonald Rd., Northfork Rd. (above/below McDonald), Wheeler, Manzanita
Age of tree (if known)
Name of donor

Friday October 6th from 5-7pm, our main floor and upstairs gallery will feature artwork by local artists Eric Sappington & Brittany Sheffield. This monthly event is free and open to the public.

Eric Sappington: I’ve lived on the Oregon coast for the last 27 years. I moved here from the Midwest to be inspired in my songwriting as well as my art. I paint whatever emotions I have in the moment I have been working on, or working through. Most of the time I don’t think about what I’m painting, I just do it. This can turn into a series or just a one off abstract blow out. The show is all about transitioning. Let’s see where it takes me.

Brittany Sheffield: I am a 33 year old wife and mother of four. I was born and raised in Tillamook. Art has always been a passion of mine even from a young age. This past year I started getting back into painting as an outlet and way to relax between work, kids and school. I’ve really enjoyed finding things that have challenged me creatively.

Jon Raymond, an Oregon Book Award-winning author and Emmy-nominated screenwriter, will be the first speaker for the Cannon Beach Library’s 2023-24 NW Authors Series.
His presentation will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 16 in the library or online. This is a hybrid event; attend the talk at the library or watch online: www.cannonbeachlibrary.org.
Raymond’s recent book, “Denial,” a futuristic thriller about climate change, was a New York Time’s Book Review Editor’s Choice in 2022. The book, nominated for an Oregon Book Award, will be available for purchase at the event.
A Newsweek review calls Denial “enthralling.”
“The not-so-distant future of ‘Denial’ questions much of what we think we know about life and death and the consequences of our decisions…This subtle and morally engaging novel is a simple yet thought-provoking read,” the Newsweek review adds.
Fellow Portland author Omar El Akkad says “Denial” is a “subtle exploration of what justice means on the other side of human-driven climate calamity.”
“There are no easy answers in this novel, only a deeply humane look at the chasm between crime and punishment, cause and consequence,” El Akkad says.
Raymond also is known for his novels “The Half-Life” and “Rain Dragon.”
In 2008, Raymond published his first collection of short stories, “Livability,” which won the Oregon Book Award’s Ken Kesey Award for Fiction in 2009.
Two stories from that collection (“Old Joy” and “Train Choir”) were adapted into feature films directed by Kelly Reichardt. Raymond was nominated for an Emmy for his teleplay writing with Todd Haynes on the HBO miniseries “Mildred Pierce,” starring Kate Winslet.
His latest collaboration with Kelly Reichardt is “Showing Up,” which premiered at Festival de Cannes in 2022.
Raymond’s writing also has appeared in several publications. He lives in Portland with his partner, writer Emily Chenoweth, and their kids, Eliza and Josephine.
The Cannon Beach Library’s NW Authors Series committee hosts authors from September through May. Local writers also are invited to participate in the Writers Read event in March.
