I found out that the sides of the lights were painted over so the lighting only pointed straight down.
I appreciate the results and the VERY quick responses from both of these individuals.

Our farmers will continue to bring the summer goodies we all love: tomatoes, corn, peaches, dahlias, and more. But we should also start to see more fall produce arriving as the days grow shorter and nights cool off, so keep an eye out for more root crops, squash, cabbages, and more.
After a couple week hiatus, we are again tripling your SNAP benefits and will continue to do so for the rest of the season! Sales of our new commemorative poster fund our Triple Up benefits, enabling lower income members of our community to shop at the farmers market and supporting our farmers and vendors. Get yours at the market info booth!
Music this week is by our own market manager Carolina, performing as Corvus Landing. With a voice like sweet bourbon and a unique multi instrumental style, you’ll hear original songs and familiar tunes like you’ve never heard them before. With her own feet playing percussion and a range of electric and acoustic sounds, Corvus Landing covers a range of pop, blues, Americana, rock, and soul.

Not a fan of ICE? Trust me, look at DARPA (what you can find, much of what they do is in secret) and you will hate that agency even more. And they target everyone, not just folks living here unlawfully.
Perhaps Oregon Democrats can get off their partisan horses for just one moment and support this critical environmental legislation being proposed by a Congressional Republican? So far, not one democrat in Oregon government will even speak of the geo-engineering being done by the Drumf Admin, and Biden before that.
What could the motivation behind this bill be other than a clean environment, as God intended?
There will be a Red Cross Blood Drive on Friday, September 12 from 12:00 Noon to 5:00 pm at Nehalem Bay Fire & Rescue – Station 13. Address is on the attached flyer.
The Red Cross has over 135 years of experience providing humanitarian aid including more than 75 years of supplying blood to those in need. Each pint of blood they collect can help save up to three lives and will touch the lives of so many more. What a great way to pay it forward and make an impact on people in our community and across the country.
We are Thankful to Partner with the American Red Cross in this important work. A good number of you are already routine donors, and THANK YOU!!
If you are able to Donate, please visit RedCrossBlood.org and enter: NBFR to schedule an appointment.
If you would like to join the amazing Red Cross as a Volunteer, please contact the Red Cross at: www.redcross.org/volunteer/become-a-volunteer.html or call 1-800-733-2767 (1-800-RED Cross).
There are many ways you can help, but most importantly we hope you come out to donate at this or an upcoming Blood Drive in our area.
The reason I am sharing this email is because this Blood Drive was scheduled to be held in Manzanita, but that facility is not available. Chief Frank and the Nehalem Bay Fire & Rescue stepped in and has made their venue available for this drive (in addition to their regular Blood Drive schedule).
THANK YOU TO OUR PARTNERS ALWAYS!!
Thank You for your Consideration to Donate; it is truly Life Saving for So Many.
Sincerely,
Velda Handler RN

The sessions are scheduled every other Tuesday from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm in our main classroom space. Bring your preferred drawing materials (no oil-based media or solvents please) and an easel if you have one. The Hoffman Center has a limited supply of easels and drawing materials; first come, first served. The Hoffman Center will provide drawing boards.
The tuition is $20 per two-hour session, which includes the fee for the model. We encourage pre-registration, though drop-in participation is welcome. Please contact visualarts@hoffmanarts.org with questions about life drawing sessions or joining our group of fantastic life drawing models.

Michael birds and photographs extensively in Tillamook County, around Oregon, and beyond. He caught the birding bug starting with a Golden Eagle banding in central Oregon with his 8th grade science teacher some 60 years ago. Michael says “I have always been partial to woodpeckers” and in 2017 he made a book of photographs featuring all 22 woodpecker species found in the US and Canada. Now Michael is working on the 50 or so US warbler species and has just a few to go! “So many birds, so little time!”
We understand everyone learns and experiences the outdoors differently, and we strive to support everyone who is interested in attending our events! Please contact us in advance so we can do our best to accommodate your accessibility needs.
