Friends and neighbors:
Come and join us again at our annual White Clover Grange Pie Auction and Pie Feast, on February 8th.
The Auction festivities begin at 3 pm sharp, and doors open at 2:30, giving you a chance to view the auction pies, select your favorites, and get a good seat.
Your $15 donation to our building fund gets you in the door ($5 for kids 10 and under) with an opportunity to bid on an artisan baked pie (or two!).
And after the auction, you’ll get to journey through the feast pie table lineup, chose some slices of your favorites, even add a dollop of Tillamook ice cream, contributed by the Nehalem Food Mart! Coffee supplied by the Roost in Wheeler, and tea from Murrelet Farms in Nehalem.
The auction show, the line up of feast pies…this party is well worth the price of admission!
Fun for all—see you there!

These are monster zooms with about 500 attendees from across the nation. The first part is usually a nationally prominent person like Ro Khanna or Nadine Smith who speaks for about half an hour and then it’s open to questions and comments. Time limits are strictly enforced for the questions and comments so you might not get a chance to speak. They are run very well.
I like it because you can catch up on emails, write, read the news, play solitaire, or whatever at the same time the zoom is running.
Seeing so many like-minded people from all over the country gathered together is comforting.
Taught by the experienced Shelley Behrman, Winter Yoga & Soothing Sound takes place every Tuesday and Thursday at 5:30pm. Through gentle yoga practices, Shelley’s class helps release the stress of the day from your body and mind. The class combines movement, stretching, breath work, meditation and sound baths to unwind and relax. This is an all levels class with the option to be fully supported with a chair. Please bring a yoga mat and any other props you may need to be comfortable.
On Mondays (at 5:30pm) and Fridays (at 6:30pm), Scott Johnson’s Qigong Class offers a different kind of centering. “Qigong is both calming and vitalizing,” Scott says. “Your stress transforms into vitality.” Modeled on teachings of Taoist Master Manak Chia, Qigong uses calming practices—such as breathing and simple movements—to build strength and energy. Scott assures potential students that the class is accessible for all ages and fitness levels and includes “no acrobatics.” He adds that Qigong boosts health, including heart and kidney function. Chair options are also available. He asks you bring a yoga mat and clean socks. No experience is necessary, and if you feel like checking out Qigong for the first time, the first class is free. Qigong kicks off its first class this Friday, January 31st.
Each class is $15 per session. Financial support/sponsorship is available—just ask.
Maybe there can be an option to have a Political category since she insists on it so much? And then the option to block notifications from certain categories?
Alright. Feel free to send me hate mail now.

Chronic pain impacts millions of lives, often leading to diminished quality of life and reliance on costly treatments such as medications or surgeries. The MAPS Program — which stands for Movement, Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Pain Science and Self-Compassion — focuses on a holistic approach that addresses not only the physical but also the psychological and social aspects of pain.
“This program is about more than managing pain,” said Tim Patching, Doctor of Occupational Therapy at Adventist Health Tillamook, the group facilitator and an experienced specialist in rehabilitation services. “It’s about empowering individuals to reduce discomfort, enhance their well-being and reclaim the activities they love while exploring alternatives to medications or invasive procedures.”
Program Highlights
Participants will engage in a lifestyle-centered approach that blends movement practices, mindfulness and self-compassion techniques with the latest in pain science. The program also emphasizes practical tools for daily life, equipping participants to better understand and manage their pain.
Who Should Join
The Chronic Pain Management Group is open to individuals experiencing persistent pain who are ready to explore new ways to address and alleviate their discomfort. Participants will gain insights into the bio-mechanical, psychological and sociological factors influencing their pain and learn strategies to improve their quality of life.
How to Participate
Ask your healthcare provider for more information or request a referral to the program. If you have questions or want to learn more, you can also contact Tim Patching, OTD, at PatchiTR@ah.org.
Location and Schedule
The group will meet once a week for eight weeks. Location and time are currently to be determined based on group size.
Why This Matters
Chronic pain affects not just the body but also the mind and spirit. Engaging in structured programs like MAPS has been shown to reduce stress, foster relaxation and improve overall heart and mental health. Participants in this program will discover how to live more fulfilling lives despite their pain, with the ultimate goal of reducing dependency on medications or surgeries. “Adventist Health Tillamook is committed to helping our community thrive,” added Patching. “This program exemplifies our mission of inspiring health, wholeness and hope.”

Hospital Road in Wheeler will be closed from 7 am to 5 pm on Tuesday, January 28 through Thursday January 30. Hospital Road will be open during evening hours.
The closure is necessary to facilitate placement of buried utility lines along Hospital Road related to construction of the new Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy.
Access will be available via Hall Street and, if cold weather requires, Hall Street will be sanded to facilitate motorists.
Thank you for your understanding and patience as construction progress continues on the new Health Center and Pharmacy.
So out of curiosity I checked all the Oregon Counties and this is what I found: There are 36 counties in Oregon. Trump won in 25 counties. Which leaves 11 counties where Harris won.
If you look at a picture of a map of the US, it is pretty much all red. Who knew? Starting with the 2000 United States presidential election, the terms “red state” and “blue state” have referred to US states whose voters vote predominantly for one party.
Republican Trump won in 25 Democrat Oregon counties.
Hmmmmmm – YET, When Governor Kotek says she is going to protect us from Trumps policies, (and there are MORE NEW TAXES on the way this legislative session for this ) she is only representing 11 counties !! ) She has become the governor of 11 counties!! Inclusiveness is a word loved by the blue party, I guess that doesn’t INCLUDE Republicans, or independent voters!! I think the 11 counties should be the ones taxed, don’t you? SERIOUSLY
2025: In the latest Morning Consult poll, Kotek is one of only three governors with an approval rating below 50%.
Well, it is self explanatory!

The State of Acceptance
“Your soul spontaneously relaxes as it senses the arising of acceptance.
There is release and letting go throughout the body as the experience of inner rejection drops away. Each cell seems to open and breathe with the space to simply be itself.
Your soul feels bathed in a delicate, refreshing liquid that nourishes and welcomes you into a sense of profound relaxation. You feel relieved of an ancient burden of struggle and feel it replaced with an unquestioned sense of belonging.
You belong here and now, exactly where you are, as a part of everything that is. At the same time, you feel fully accepting of what is here; you welcome it without preference or condition.”
– From Soul Without Shame by Byron Brown

Last summer, Oregon Shores filed an appeal of the Rockaway Beach Planning Commission’s approval of a 30 unit-housing development in sensitive wetlands with the Rockaway Beach City Council. After a hearing on the matter where Oregon Shores and a large number of community members turned out to express their concerns with the project, the City Council denied Oregon Shores’ Appeal. Now, Oregon Shores has filed an appeal of that decision with the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals.
The development, which the developer expects will primarily serve as short-term rentals, poses serious harm to the local environment and public safety. Neighbors and community members are concerned that the development would destroy wildlife habitat, increase flooding and drinking water pollution risks, and make the area less safe in a tsunami.
Before the City Council, Oregon Shores argued that the development would violate state land use laws and Rockaway Beach’s own zoning ordinances. Despite getting approval to develop the land in 2008 and completing the first 8 lots, construction of phase two of the project never began. Now, 16 years later, the developer has added 2 more houses to the plan and wants to get started without seeking re-approval of the development plan under current standards. Rockaway Beach’s zoning ordinances also prohibit residential construction in the special wetland zone in which the development site is located, and require mitigation for development that abuts McMillan Creek, which runs through the property.
Oregon Shores is represented in its appeal by Crag Law Center, a non-profit environmental law center serving Pacific Northwest communities. The Land Use Board of Appeals will likely issue a decision on the appeal in several months.

We love bringing our community together in the bookstore! But to make hosting events manageable, we need to pay for a few building improvements (including modifications to the private restroom so it is accessible/usable during events). There is also build-out that still needs to happen after our recent move, like adding a bookcase to the children’s section. Proceeds from the auction will go toward the cost of these space improvements.
*Five percent of the proceeds will go to Nehalem Elementary School in the form of store gift cards, to be offered by the school principal to students in need or deserving through achievement.
The generously donated items are geared toward those who love the arts and our community. We will update auction items at www.cloudandleaf.com and social media pages as they come in.
Some of the items are now on display behind the counter at the bookstore. We hope you’ll join us for a fun night, enjoying a glass of wine and the dulcet tones of auctioneer Chip MacGregor.
