Desperately Seeking downspout drain pipe clearing

Submitted By: Sheila.bayside@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
My gutter downspouts connect to an underground drain pipe that is not draining. Water back up is excavating the sand away from the foundation of my house. I have been on the service wait list for over a month and a half with the local company that put in my new gutters and downspouts about two years ago. Meanwhile the damage gets worse. And now with another atmospheric river of rain forecast this week i am scared. I am a single, disabled senior with very limited resources and as i wait and wait for help a stitch in time is long past. I don’t know if this a clog that needs clearing or if i need a new system of drainage. Or maybe unconnecting from the underground drain pipe system and putting in a simpler on top of ground downspout drain system. Desperately seeking referrals for reliable, qualified help for this situation. Thank you!!.

Winter Songs – Kathryn Claire

Winter Songs – Seasonal Music to Celebrate the Darkest Nights

December 12th | White Clover Grange | Nehalem, OR
5pm (doors at 4:30pm)
$20 (adult) $10 (kids)

An intimate concert of light, warmth, and community through song.

As winter settles in and the days grow short, Kathryn Claire invites audiences to gather for Winter Songs — an evening of music that honors the season and celebrates the beauty found in darkness.

Drawing inspiration from winter’s stillness and renewal, Winter Songs weaves together original compositions, traditional melodies, and select covers. With shimmering strings, lush harmonies, and stirring instrumentals, the music reminds us that even in the darkest nights, there is the promise of returning light.

Winter Songs features the radiant trio of Kathryn Claire (vocals, guitar, violin), Don Henson (piano, percussion), and Sid Ditson (violin, viola). Their chemistry on stage is joyful and deeply felt. They seamlessly blend classical finesse, folk roots, and cinematic soundscapes into a heartfelt tapestry of sound.

Kathryn has been performing seasonal winter shows since 2013, evolving Winter Songs into a beloved tradition. In 2022, the trio released an EP featuring Kathryn’s original music written for the show, along with the single “Dark of December.”

“Winter Songs is my way of embracing the darkness and finding beauty within it,” says Claire. “It’s a time to slow down, gather together, and remember that the light always returns.”

Join Kathryn, Don, and Sid for an evening of music at the White Clover Grange that welcomes winter with open arms, and creates a space to pause, reflect, and celebrate the turning of the season.
