Submitted By: pac@ncrdnehalem.org – Click to email about this post
TERRY ROBB has earned international acclaim from music critics, peers and fans. Incorporating elements from the Mississippi Delta, ragtime, country, swing and jazz, Robb ranks right up there with the heavy hitters, a player of dazzling skill and technique. He’s been hailed as “one of the best players, on acoustic and electric, embracing a range of blues styles and then some.”

Drummer Gary Hobbs is a native of the Pacific Northwest and has played professionally for over 4 decades. Gary has played with The Stan Kenton Orchestra, Randy Brecker, Bud Shank, Anita O’Day, Terry Gibbs, The New York Voices, The Woody Herman Orchestra and many others.

Bassist Dave Captein is an accomplished performer on both string bass and bass guitar, having worked as a professional musician for over 35 years. Dave is a favorite choice for the region’s many bandleaders and always in demand for his solid sound, time and feel, as well as his soloing abilities.

Gary Hobbs and Dave Captein will join Terry Robb for an evening of Electric Music – From Country and Blues to John Coltrane and Jimmy Hedrix! It’s a different side of Terry Robb!

You don’t want to miss this show! Friday, April 12, 7:00 pm at NCRD Performing Arts Center in Nehalem. Tickets are available at tickettomato.com.

Club Manzanita Oops! UPDATE

Submitted By: rkinor@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
The Council held their first reading of an Ordinance to change our water billings from the current quarterly period to a monthly reading and billing on March 6th. This action is being taken to correct the oversight of the City Manager to inform the Council of the need to amend the Ordinance seven months ago when the new water rates went into effect. The effect of this error is that the City has been billing us monthly without any Ordinance authority to do so. 
Eight citizens took the time to submit written testimony at the meeting opposing the change. No citizen testimony in favor of the change was submitted. 

Councilor Hart took the lead with his story of a part time neighbor who developed a leak in the water line going to her house that she was unaware of. Councilor Hart claimed that monthly readings allowed for the discovery of the leak and saved her from a potential $1,200 water bill had the leak gone undetected for three months. In cases like this, once the property owner is advised of the leak and repairs it, they are given a leak credit by the City so that they are not unfairly charged for a situation that they had no knowledge of. In the future during your discussions, please give all the facts not just those that create the story you want citizens to hear to support your positions on a particular issue. 
The City’s messaging on this issue continues to be confusing, contradictory and condescending. Listening to the City Manager’s explanation of how your meter records monthly usage confirms that the City only has a vague idea of how much water you use each month. The City can neither tell you how many actual gallons you use each month nor how many gallons in excess of your 2,000 gallon base allotment you used.
Homeowners are told  that we need to conserve water and learn to get by with half of the 4,000 gallons per month that we once had in our base billing. Meanwhile the City confirms to developers of subdivisions, commercial businesses and the new hotel on Dorcus Lane that we have plenty of water for their developments.
The City acknowledges that monthly billings are more costly but are unable to tell us how much additional expense is involved. They are however confident that through their assistance with this change, monthly billings will allow each of us to better manage our personal expenses and household finances.  

How many of you in any given quarter are gone from your residence on a vacation or take trips to see family or friends? During the quarter in question for that time you are gone, your meter is not turning thus increasing your odds that your total quarterly bill may show that you only used the base amount of 6,000 gallons for the quarter. You just saved yourself from paying one or more $9.50  monthly surcharges that resulted from a monthly read of your meter that found that you exceeded 2,000 gallons. When you compare a monthly utility billing rate structure that includes a surcharge component with the same rate structure with a quarterly meter read, a quarterly billing always favors the customer from a cost of service standpoint. 
This is the classic government response of creating a solution that is  in search of a problem. Why is the City so insistent to push this through? 
The Council has the opportunity at their April meeting to announce that they will not pursue this Ordinance amendment and retain quarterly billings.

Should Council pass this Ordinance, I will initiate the referendum process to ensure that there will be an election scheduled at the next available election date to consider the repeal of this Ordinance and return to quarterly meter reading and billing. In short, Manzanita voters, not the Council, will decide the matter. We have not had an opportunity for a direct vote on any important City decision since the failed City Hall Bond measure in 2019. I imagine that voters would welcome the opportunity to again cast a vote on an issue that affects their pocketbook. 
Let your Council hear from you before their April 3rdmeeting and ask them to explain how this change is in your best interests. citycouncil@ci.manzanita.or.us

We hope you left the theater with a touch of Southern charm, a chuckle or two, and perhaps a newfound appreciation for the complexities of family bonds.

Local Writers Read Stories, Poems on ‘Beach Noir’ Theme March 22

Submitted By: nmccarthy1276@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
“Beach Noir,” this year’s theme for the Writers Read Celebration, sponsored by the Cannon Beach Library, was quirky enough to result in 79 short stories and poems involving crustaceans to die for, ghost ships, slovenly detectives and the women who taunt them. Sixteen of those entries will be read by writers from Oregon and Washington on March 22. The Writers Read Celebration begins at 7 p.m. in the library, 131 N. Hemlock St. It also will be shown online through the library’s website at cannonbeachlibrary.org. Writers wrote their “whodunits” from every angle. Some were melancholy, while others found humor. One poet asked, “Where’s the Noir?” Another writer talked to a ghostly bartender. Cats are involved in one mystery, and a variety of sea creatures find their way into several stories. This is the sixth year of the library’s Writers Read Celebration. Writers of all ages from anywhere were invited to submit entries in any format, and the library received more entries than in any year. Entries were limited to 600 words each; writers could submit three entries. A panel of library volunteers selected 16 entries from 15 writers. “Beach Noir” was defined as “taking place in a dark or foreboding setting, though the tone and descriptions can be unconventional and playful. Other elements may include flashes of humor, flawed underdog characters or a crime scene.” Those who were invited to read this year were: Kyra Blank, Siletz, Oregon, poem, StayAlive Brad Buckley, Portland, Oregon, short story, Dark Green Waves John D. Ciminello, Naselle, Washington, short story, Bonnie and Mr. Clyde Kristin Daemon, Seaside, Oregon, flash fiction, A Punishing Place Destiny Deras, Seaside, Oregon, short story, Dungeness Bisporus David Dillon, Manzanita, Oregon, short story, The Knife Pamella S. Gibson, Seaview, Washington, poem, just another beach town murder Craig Allen Heath, Longview, Washington, short story, Farewell My Sandcastle Mike Kloeck, Newport, Oregon, short story, Lost in Limbo Colleen Medlock, Portland/Seaside, Oregon, short story, Anniversary Jennifer Nightingale, Astoria, Oregon, two poems: Abandoned, Bistro Table D.

Is Reflexology new or ancient. Alternative or complimentary care.

Submitted By: wingsforwisdom@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Reflexology is an ancient healing art with origins from ancient civilizations; Egypt, China, and India. Several Native American tribes also used reflexology as a healing process. A form of reflexology called reflex zone therapy was practiced throughout Europe in the 14th century. Modern-day reflexology techniques are based on these ancient practices.

Reflexology is best used as complimentary care working alongside other treatments to heal our system as a whole. Alternative care is defined as an “instead of” treatment. I began using reflexology early in my career as a massage therapist as I experienced the correlations to other body areas in my own body and I experienced better results with my clients when I’d work a problem area locally as well as distally with reflexology. I use it as an integral part of my regular wellness care and it’s also great complimentary care for people who may be fragile in other ways that makes getting a full body massage less comfortable such as going through conventional and alternative cancer care** (see below,) being pregnant/ postpartum (I love both massage and reflexology here,) elderly, recovering from surgery, injury. Anything that makes traditional massage less accessible. Keeping healthy, flowing, flexible hands and feet are a vital part of a healthy aging process as well.

March Specials at R&R Reflexology Spa:

*Ginger root foot baths to push out the cold
*Lemongrass & Ginger Revitalizing reflexology balm to nourish, warm up and wake up our bodies.
*Vetiver & Wild Orange Goodnight reflexology balm. Nourishing to hands and feet while we enjoy a delicious night’s sleep.
*Baby indoor fern plant start free to every guest

All sessions begin with a foot bath then include work to ears, hands and feet in the zero gravity chair along with near-infrared light throughout and acuaromatherapy.

2.5hr. session adds 30 min health coaching or makes a great shared session for friends/family.
2 and 1.5hr sessions are perfect for the individual

Thanks for trusting in natural pathways to support and heal our natural bodies. Your treasured presence is awaited…

FINAL WEEKEND! TWO SHOWS REMAINING FOR ‘CRIMES OF THE HEART’ AT THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

Submitted By: admin@riverbendplayers.org – Click to email about this post
– FINAL WEEKEND! THREE SHOWS REMAINING, MARCH 15th, 16th, and 17th!
‘CRIMES OF THE HEART’ Live on Stage at the NCRD Performing Arts Center in Nehalem.
Great seats available at www.RiverbendPlayers.org CRIMES OF THE HEART (Pulitzer Prize Winner):
The scene is Hazlehurst, Mississippi, where the three Magrath sisters have gathered to await news of the family patriarch, their grandfather, who is living out his last hours in the local hospital.
Lenny, the oldest sister, is unmarried at thirty and facing diminishing marital prospects; Meg, the middle sister, who quickly outgrew Hazlehurst, is back after a failed singing career on the West Coast; while Babe, the youngest, is out on bail after having shot her husband in the stomach.
Their troubles, grave and yet somehow hilarious, are highlighted by their priggish cousin, Chick, and by the awkward young lawyer who tries to keep Babe out of jail while helpless not to fall in love with her.
In the end, the play is the story of how its characters escape the past to seize the future—but the telling is so true and touching and consistently hilarious that it will linger in the mind long after the curtain has closed.
