Have you been missing your BBQ and daily news summary? It’s come to our attention that the Pioneer’s server (which hosts the North Coast BBQ) has encountered an issue with the security setting for nehalemtel.net emails. We are working with RTI Nehalem to resolve the issues, and hope to have it corrected soon.
In the meantime, you can always go to the websites – www.northcoastbbq.com or www.tillamookcountypioneer.net to see the latest posts.
We’ll get your email summaries back to all subscribers as soon as possible.
Thanks so much for your support of the North Coast BBQ and the Tillamook County Pioneer.
Bring your preschooler to hear a hilarious story at North Oregon Coast Symphony’s next free Musical Storytime. In March the featured story will be Three Hens and a Peacock by Lester Laminack. This program is a hands-on musical activity. The event will feature a live oboe accompaniment. Children will hear about a peaceful farm where animals don’t complain – until a peacock arrives. Be ready to laugh out loud as the tale unfolds. With vibrant illustrations this book is sure to be a favorite for children and adults. Afterwards preschoolers will learn more about the oboe and take part in making their own music with provided instruments.
This event will be offered at 10:30 Monday, March 9 at the North Tillamook Library in Manzanita.
The free readings for children ages 2 to 5 are planned monthly in partnership with the Astoria Library, North Tillamook Library in Manzanita, and the Seaside Library. Funding for some of the instruments used in this outreach program come from Clatsop County Cultural Coalition and Oregon Cultural Trust. We thank both organizations for their generosity.
For more information visit North Oregon Coast Symphony’s website at www.nocsymphony.org.

What Does Conscious Aging Mean to You?
Join us for a conversation about what inspires you and helps you through your aging journey.
We will offer quotes from a number of sources and from wise people through the ages, as prompts for discussion. Discussing in small groups, we will explore what it means to age mindfully — maybe even with grace, humor and equanimity. Then we will gather to exchange ideas with the whole group. You are encouraged to share quotes, poems or words of wisdom that inspire you to stay awake to how your life is unfolding.
Your $5 donation at the door supports the Pine Grove Community House.
We Shall Be Free
By Garth Brooks
This ain’t comin’ from no prophet
Just an ordinary man
When I close my eyes I see
The way this world shall be
When we all walk hand in hand
When the last child cries for a crust of bread,
When the last man dies for just words that he said,
When there’s shelter over the poorest head,
We shall be free.
When the last thing we notice is the color of the skin,
And the first thing we look for is the beauty within,
When the skies and the oceans are clean again,
Then we shall be free.
We shall be free, we shall be free.
Stand straight, walk proud,
Cause we shall be free.
When we’re free to love anyone we choose,
When this world’s big enough for all different views,
When we all can worship from our own kind of pew,
Then we shall be free.
We shall be free.
We shall be free
Have a little faith
Hold out
‘Cause we shall be free
And when money talks for the very last time
And nobody walks a step behind
When there’s only one race and that’s mankind
Then we shall be free
We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, walk proud, have a little faith, hold out
We shall be free
We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, have a little faith
We shall be free
There are other local groups who are guilty of these types lengthy posts as well.
I remember when I first started posting in BBQ, there was a limit to how many characters could be posted. As I had to revise/limit a few of them.
Is it possible to go back and resume the orginal limit? I will be suggesting this to the administrator as well.
A suggestion for those who want to post lengthy posts… possibly post a summary with a link or pdf added with all the meat and potatoes and desert to read and consume one course at a time.
Who: Tillamook County residents ONLY. No professional experience required. Just an open heart and mind.
When: Wednesdays from 4:30 – 5:30 pm, April 1 – May 6, 2026. 1 hour of self-paced online learning + 1 hour of live Zoom session. Sessions will be recorded for participants.
Cost: Free
The workshop is a collaborative effort shaped by the voices of individuals and community partners, including the leadership teams from Conscious Aging and Community Connections in Manzanita, and Cape Meares Aging with Grace.
See attached flyer for details.

The list is only as big as one’s imagination and willingness to donate.
