Sapote was the first of his litter to find his purr, and he loves to share it with the world! Friendly, playful, and confident, Sapote is almost unflappable. His siblings seem to turn to him as their leader, and he’s a kind and loving brother to all of them, but shares a particular bond with his sister Lilikoi. He also loves people and runs delightedly to greet human visitors.
At her foster home, Lilikoi is known as “Lilikoi The Bold.” She’s fearless, energetic, and is on a mission to explore everything and everyone around her. The word “Lilikoi” is another word for Passionfruit, and it fits this delightful little girl BEAUTIFULLY. She also loves exploring and lives her life with gusto. She’s smart and sweet, and is one of the first kittens to greet human visitors.
Lilikoi & Sapote are a bonded pair and are seeking a forever home where they can continue to play and snuggle together. Does it sound like a treat to greet each new day with these delightful kittens? Schedule a Meet & Greet by emailing unitedpawshelp@gmail.com, or visit unitedpaws.org to complete an application.

Aging With Grace in Cape Meares
At CACC gatherings, we highlight concerns around aging in place in our small communities, and facilitate social connections that enrich our lives.
Our villages in the Nehalem Bay Area comprise a naturally occurring retirement community — a place where more than half the residents are of retirement age. Yet there are not sufficient services to support aging in place; we rely on neighbors helping neighbors.
Many people express a desire to live out their lives here, in this place they love. But many eventually must move away to live closer to caregivers and support services.
The tiny village of Cape Meares, tucked along the northern foot of the towering Cape Meares, is home to only 90 full-time residents. Median age in the village is 75 years.
Join us November 10, 2 to 4PM, to learn how residents of this isolated village are actively nurturing a community of support and awareness to prepare residents for aging in place and end of life.
We welcome Beverly Stein, Kathy Burke and Narayan Lincoln from the Aging With Grace program of the Cape Meares Community Association to the Pine Grove in Manzanita for this opportunity to learn from this proactive group, exchange ideas, share resources and envision collaboration between our small North Coast communities. Come join for conversation and refreshments after the presentation.
A $5 contribution supports the Pine Grove Community house.
The Agent Orange catastrophe did not end with the Vietnam War. Today, the world over, a primary chemical of the notorious defoliant controls weeds in farming, forestry, parks, along railbeds and roadways, and even in children’s playgrounds. The pesticide can wreak havoc on the human genome, causing deformities and deadly cancers.
This investigative documentary interweaves personal with political struggles as it follows two heroic women who are leading a worldwide movement to hold manufacturers of these pesticides accountable.
After the film, people will have opportunities to learn more about the pesticide-related challenges Oregonians continue to face, especially in the fight to keep surface drinking water safe. Carol Van Strum and Susan Swift, two of the activists starring in the film, will be on hand to answer questions after the movie.

We are thrilled to know SNAP benefits will be restored for Oregonians by November 7 and want to acknowledge the generous donors and volunteers who responded in the meantime to help our community.
While the federal government is in shutdown, there is still a level of uncertainty and unmet need we are working to address. Here are ways for you to help:
1. Make a donation: The biggest impact is a monetary donation to help us purchase items for the food pantry and senior meals.
2. Donate your time: Please contact us to find out more about opportunities.
3. Donate needed items: Keeping our pantries stocked and available is a priority for our community. Please see our website to find a list of needed and acceptable items. We also accept clothing, hygiene products, and pet supplies. Drop off when the Food Pantry is open (Monday, Friday and Saturday 10 to 2, Wednesday 1 to 5.)
4. Stay connected with us! More information on our website and Facebook page.
5. We thank our community for the Food Barrels around the area. Also, the North County Food Bank in Wheeler is open on Tuesday from noon to three.
Thank you for your generosity as we work to help those in need in our community achieve their full potential.

Leaving no doubt about his intentions, after knocking down the hornet nest he proceeds to vigorously shake it with flight cancellations. Again, thanks for making it crystal clear to Americans.
Democrats talk a lot about inclusion, but what we really want and in fact desperately need is an “inclusive economy” in which those currently struggling or left out can play a fulfilling part. It should be clear now that wealth disparity is causing jobs to disappear or become depressingly inadequate. I think big box stores, mega corporations, and tech bros play a major part, and to counteract the damage in their wake we should focus more on local communities.
-Dave
Practicing empathy is especially important when things don’t go as planned—whether it’s unexpected, bad weather or daily frustrations. Instead of rushing to criticize or getting upset, take a moment to pause and “chill.” Many of us are fortunate to have secure housing, enough food, and a warm place to stay, which isn’t the case for everyone. A simple act, like greeting someone with a smile or asking how they’re really doing at the post office or grocery store, can help brighten someone’s day. Go a step further by truly listening to their response and offering encouragement. If you see them again, follow up and ask how they are managing.
Supporting our community is vital, especially as many organizations work hard to address food insecurity during these colder months. If you’re able, consider volunteering at a local food bank, donating non-perishable items, or spreading the word about community resources. Even if you receive frequent requests for help, please remember that these efforts are ongoing because the need remains. Your involvement can have a lasting impact. And, as we continue to advocate for everyone’s well-being and rights, let’s stay patient and compassionate throughout this season and beyond.
Thankyou, Patty

The Gathering, a celebration of Native American Heritage Month, returns to Cannon Beach for a weekend of art, film, conversation and more. In its third year, the event features a mix of indigenous voices, including filmmaker Katsitsionni Fox (Akwesasne Mohawk Nation), storyteller Karen Kitchen (Osage Nation), scholar Brad Mix (Red River Métis), poet Cliff Taylor (Ponca) and more.
All Gathering events are offered free of charge. Donations are encouraged.
At 7PM on Saturday, November 15th, award winning director Katsitsionni Fox will premiere her upcoming documentary, “Kanenon:we – Original Seeds,” at the Coaster Theatre. The short film follows women responsible for caretaking of traditional seeds whose existence is threatened by centuries of colonial practices. The film explores food security, environmental disconnection, climate change, land theft and more. Following the screening, Fox will be joined by Cliff Taylor for a Q&A.
Earlier on Saturday, the Cannon Beach Library hosts a family-friendly storytelling event with educator Karen Kitchen at 1PM. With traditional stories and song, Kitchen engages children and learners of all ages. Children will also be able to experiment with and make their own indigenous instruments.
On Sunday. November 16th, the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum welcomes Brad Mix for a presentation entitled “Reclaiming the Mixed Blood Story” at 11AM. This conversation will explore mixed-blood identity, not only within the Métis Nation but across Indigenous and mixed-heritage communities today.
“This discussion isn’t just about Métis history,” says Zoe Swain, Cultural Outreach Coordinator at the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum and Gathering co-organizer. “It’s also about mixed ancestry more broadly. The question of ‘how Indigenous are you?’ can be deeply painful for many people of mixed heritage. What’s so inspiring about the Métis Nation is how they celebrate being both European and Indigenous, embracing that dual identity as strength, not conflict.”
The Gathering is produced by Cannon Beach community nonprofits, including: The Tolovana Arts Colony, Cannon Beach History Center & Museum, The Coaster Theatre Playhouse and the Cannon Beach Library. Sponsored by Escape Lodging.
For more information contact the Tolovana Arts Colony at tolovanaartscolony@gmail.com or 541-215-4445.

5 weeks plus of the Government Shutdown results in hungry neighbors and there are absolutely no winners in this game. With SNAP benefits cut in half and food banks serving at least twice as many people, we are asking you to make your most generous gift today.
We are very lucky to live where we do as so many people are stepping up with donations, cash, and such to help provide food for many in our community and we are asking you to KEEP GIVING. Every can of food or dollar donated helps a local family in need.
HOW TO HELP:
Mail a check to North County Food Bank (NCFB)
Drop off food at either North County Food Bank or Nehalem Bay Community Services Food Pantry
Drop off clean clothing, bedding and blankets at Nehalem Bay Community Services Food Pantry (Currently the NCFB cannot take clothing.)
Drop off any donations at the North County Resistance PROTEST on Saturday, November 8, noon to 2PM, at the main intersection in Nehalem – we will get the donation where you want it to go
North County Food Bank, PO Box 162, Wheeler, Oregon 97147
Nehalem Bay Community Services Food Pantry, PO Box 232, Nehalem, Oregon 97131. This Food Pantry is open Monday, Friday, and Saturday from 10 AM to 2 PM and on Wednesday from 1 PM to 5 PM.
Both organizations are stepping up to help in this crisis. Last week, one participant shared how receiving food from the pantry made a difference for their family. Moments like these remind us that we are better together—thank you for being part of this caring community.
Ideas for giving food include: breads, cereal, meats, frozen meals, eggs, cottage cheese, yogurt, fresh produce, canned fruits and vegetables, canned meats, peanut butter and jelly, soup, chili, catsup, mayo, flour, sugar, yeast, to just name a few items. Consider a box of food to feed a family of 4 for a day or two. You get the drift and the gift! Save your receipts for a tax deduction if you qualify.
Thanks to this generous community for all your donations and support so far. We have three weeks until Thanksgiving. Kids will be out of school with no breakfast or lunch they would normally get at school on Thursday and Friday. How can you help with that? What would your kids want?
Interested in joining our PROTEST? Read on:
We will be PROTESTING once again on November 8, in Nehalem, from noon to 2 PM. We will gather at the main intersection in Nehalem; parking is available nearby. Look for our signs and friendly faces to join in. We do hope you will join us. My phone is showing me it will be cloudy and cool. The 21 people who met last Saturday to PROTEST got a little wet. It was fine when we started and then there was a mad dash to cars to get the rain gear on. So, dress in layers and don’t forget the rain gear. Bring your signs if you have some—we always have some to share. I like to bring a chair, but with the rain last week sitting was not so comfortable. When 2 PM came last week we all gave a huge cheer to one another.
Best,
Patty Rinehart
