Earth Day Community Meeting-Protecting Drinking Water

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: rockawaycitizen.water@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Join North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection on Earth Day for our April Community Meeting where two important topics will be discussed:
1.Nedonna Beach- Protecting Wetlands & Drinking Water in Nedonna Beach
Neighbors and community members are actively working to protect the remaining freshwater, forested, and shrub wetlands in the Nedonna Beach neighborhood. The City of Rockaway Beach recently approved a new 28-house development in an area of Nedonna Beach that is designated as “wetlands” by both federal and county agencies.
We invite you to take part in a meaningful community conversation about safeguarding the Nedonna wetlands from further development. This is a chance to explore how we can come together to build a strong, local grassroots movement for lasting protection of this unique natural area.
We’re excited to welcome a special guest- a retired EPA health official- who will share insights from his career in environmental protection.
Your voice matters. We want to hear your ideas, your concerns, and how you might like to get involved. Let’s collaborate to ensure the Nedonna wetlands remain a thriving, protected space for generations to come.

2.Nehalem Watershed- Nehalem Must Stop Logging in Its Watershed
The Nehalem watershed was clear-cut by a logging company and then transferred to the city, possibly in the 1940s. In the 1980s, seeking new sources of income, the city began the practice of logging the watershed in stages, with the aim of generating revenue over time. Now, nearly 40 years later, only the steepest slopes remain untouched, with the majority of the area having been logged.This year marks the end of the city’s 25-year contract with a timber management firm. A speaker will address the ongoing issues, present the goals of a local conservation group, and explore alternative options the city could pursue. Additionally, the speaker will discuss how the community can get involved in protecting the watershed’s future.

Tuesday, April 22nd. 6pm-7:30pm. Doors open at 5:30pm for mingling. St Mary by the Sea Parish Hall 257 S Pacific St Rockaway Beach, Or.
Free Pizza!!

NCCWP wants no more logging and pesticide use in community water sources across all land ownership, and wants an end to pesticide applications near where people live, work and recreate. Safe drinking water and clean air are part of the public trust that we all are entitled to have. Please help North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection safeguard and restore our drinking watersheds. www.healthywatershed.org | www.facebook.com/NCCWATERSHEDPROTECTION Contact: rockawaycitizen.water@gmail.com

Unique storage caddy. Sheet metal and glass

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: Artwithmisskaren@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
At the tail end of getting my studio together. I can’t find a useful place for this cool sheet metal and glass caddy. My lat studio I used to for gloves, stirrups, stir sticks, sharpies and so fort. Things I needed regular access to. Unique piece but the only two places it would fit in my studio is blocking much needed outlets or blocking the only window. So maybe you can use this in your studio, sewing room, kitchen, garden shed for seeds or shop.
I pulled the receipt from the antique store and I paid $145 originally. I’d be happy with $75

I’m not sure what the Internet would call it so I couldn’t find anything like it. It’s pretty heavy duty.

Dimensions are = 24” wide x 7.5” deep x 20 1/4” tall.

I’m in cannon beach’s north end if you’re interested. Shoot me a note.

Coastal Community Creatives Meets this Thursday!

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: cindy.obtd@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hello Creatives!

This week we’ll plan to learn to crochet in a round as well as starting some crochet projects! The projects I have in mind will be included below with the needed materials, but please feel free to bring any pattern/idea and we can find where you should start.

1. Double thick hot pads. Can be any color, but must be at least a skein of cotton yarn for this project (it takes 1.5 for a pair). I’d recommend a G or H hook.

2. Hats (in rows or in a round). Can be any weight if yarn from DK/3 to Bulky/5, you just need a hook that corresponds to that yarn weight (probably F/G for weight 3, H/I for weight 4, and J/K for weight 5).

3. Granny Squares. This can be any size of yarn, but as you will need multiple colors, try to keep your yarn all the same weight/material (ex. All acrylic worsted/weight 4). For the granny square pattern I have in mind, you will need at least 2 and up to 4 colors.

4. Rugs/bags. This can be any size yarn, but must be cotton or acrylic. For a thicker project, use 2 strands, T-shirt yarn (I can demonstrate how to make this), or even rope/Paracord. If using anything other than standard yarn, I would recommend a very large hook (about size Q). I

I will have a few balls/skeins of worsted/weight 4 acrylic yarn anyone can use if they need something to start with! Excited to see you there!

Don’t forget to bring a few cans of food for the Food Bank and a few dollars for the Grange Maintenance Fund if you can.

Correction to Johnny Six-Jabs responds to post from Monday

For some unknown technical reason the full text of Gene Dieken’s post “Johnny Six-Jabs responds to” was not complete.

A sad moment for our local Anti-vax Patriarch: RFK Jr (putative Secretary of Health an Human Services) has officially announced that “The most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the MMR vaccine.” No response has been forthcoming from the Patriarch’s office as to whether Kennedy’s name will be placed on his List of War Pigs.

Of course, Sec. Kennedy didn’t come to this conclusion before quite a few kids checked into the ER with Vitamin A poisoning when they followed Kennedy’s previous recommendation to consume lots of cod liver oil.

OK, enough snideness! The outbreak is still happening and looking at where the large majority of cases have occurred, there’s much to be learned. Gaines County, Texas is on the far west high plains of the state and mainly known for extracting fossil fuels from the Permian Basin and irrigation water from the Ogallala Aquifer. The county of 22,000 is 82% vaccinated (95% is ideal for measles) and is home to large congregations of Anabaptist Mennonites who, while not theologically opposed to vaccination, seem in this case to be the focus for the outbreak along with plenty of people who no longer trust vaccines of any type.

So folks who meet congregately on a regular basis should be especially wary of the possibility that this highly contagious and serious disease is spreading farther afield.

Father James Martin, SJ, on Óscar Romero, El Salvador, Detentions, and a Time to Stand Up

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: genedieken@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
As a lapsed Presbyterian, I take great solace in the words of Father Martin. -GD

When I was growing up in El Salvador, there was a man who was not afraid to speak out. His name was Óscar Romero, archbishop of San Salvador. It seems to me that we need more Óscar Romeros today. We need everyone of good will to follow his lead and demand that the government respect human dignity.

In his last Sunday homily on the day before he was killed, Saint Óscar Romero made a special appeal to government agents: “It is time now for you to reclaim your conscience and to obey your conscience rather than the command to sin,” he said. “We want the government to understand well that the reforms are worth nothing if they are stained with so much blood. In the name of God, then, and in the name of this suffering people, whose laments rise up each day more tumultuously toward heaven, I beg you, I beseech you, I order you in the name of God: stop the repression!”

I urge government officers and support staff in the present situation to heed these words which echo through history. It is time now for you to reclaim your conscience. What you are doing is worth nothing if it is stained with unjust cruelty. That is not what America stands for. You too can and should speak out against this terror and infliction of suffering on people. You can refuse to be involved in oppression and these grievous assaults on human rights and dignity.

True, if you do, there may be adverse personal consequences. Saint Óscar certainly paid a price for speaking against the state of siege in his country. It might even mean leaving your job, but that is better than being complicit with evil, and it will lead to something even greater. As this holy man said in his last words before his martyrdom, “If we have imbued our work with a sense of great faith, love of God, and hope for humanity, then all our endeavors will lead to the splendid crown that is the sure reward for the work of sowing truth, justice, love, and goodness on earth.”
