This year we are teaming up with our friends at Aldervale Plant Nursery and offering two ways to purchase plants:

Online: get the first pick of our limited stock starting Friday, March 22nd. Follow us on Instagram or Facebook or the website at tbnep.org for updates.

In-person: come peruse our remaining inventory at the nursery in Tillamook on Saturday, April 13th.

The plants at our facility are cultivated from seeds hand-harvested locally along Oregon’s North Coast. This makes them uniquely adapted to thrive in our coastal ecosystems. Native plants play a critical role in restoring habitats to create cleaner water and better habitat for fish, birds, pollinators, and people. Check out our new website page for details.
For the last decade, nursery staff and volunteers have used a temporary porta-john as their only bathroom. Funds from this sale will get us closer to building a hygienic, sustainable, universally accessible bathroom that is more accommodating of the many body types, ability levels, and genders that are welcome at the nursey.

As a “Surplus Plant Sale” all inventory is limited and typically sells at a rapid pace!

Shutting Down Small Farms in Oregon

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: genedieken@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
First off, I’m very much in favor of small farm and animal operations producing high-quality food and thriving. The recent story (1) featured by OPB Radio about a small producer caught up short by existing water rights laws on the books for more than a century is sad and I hope there’s some compromise available.

Generally, water rights are vastly complicated and probably do need periodic refurbishment.

Here’s what scares me about this issue: Once you’ve gone beyond a certain point of being unmindful about water use and abuse, it’s too late and there’s no going back.

I grew up in Iowa, consistently the number one or two ag producer in the U.S. Over the last 50 years the industrialization of farming, repeated boom-bust cycles, mind-boggling federal subsidies, vast use of chemicals, huge build-out of CAFOs (2), and right-wing governance have created a disaster that’s hard to comprehend. Flanked by the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, Iowa has a vast network of creeks and rivers. All but a few dozen miles are now poisoned with nitrates (as is much groundwater) and the state has the second-highest cancer rate in the country.

“Well, that’s the Midwest!” you say. We’re luckier or maybe just late to the game. The nitrate problems in Umatilla & Morrow Counties (3) are quite similar to Iowa.

SHUTTING DOWN SMALL FARMS IN OREGON

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: dixiegainer@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I have really appreciated the small farms and local growers in this area. We are truly lucky here. We have available untainted meat and vegetables grown with a minimum of pesticides , hormones, etc. The best food you can get. And now the government is shutting down farms. WHY? For bogus reasons.To save a species. The species is fine, the lies abound. I would like to remind you all that we are a species under attack, and if you recognize that you are a species It is time you became aware that you have to save yourselves from the global cabal that is engineering famine. You have seen on the news the French, the Dutch,etc farmers protesting the shut down of farms. They grow our food, folks. If you want to eat not just engineered cricket pellets
then wake up and support your local farmers.

Reply to Will Stone Episode 4 Fiction.

This is a reply to Will Stone’s episode 4 fiction

There have been multiple public information requests made regarding this investigation and ALL of them have been denied by the district attorney because there are confidential elements that cannot be shared. So the promise made in this fictional piece to hack a computer to get the story is just that… fiction. Also, it’s illegal.

Why would anyone spend to much time creating a fictional soap opera to damage a town and the town’s city council’s reputation?

Doing Good in Evil Times

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: dixiegainer@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
In a recent (March 5th) Headlight Herald article, the title proclaimed that Senators Who “Walked Out” Were Not Protected From “Consequences”. The title of this article should be “Doing Good in Evil Times Is not Always Rewarding.” The Senators they are talking about tried to stop a bill that gives the state the right to determine what sex your child should be. Yes it does, and the bill states that if the parents interfere, they will be considered by this law to be child abusers, and their child will be removed from them and placed in foster care. This has been happening already in other states, due to the same type of legislation passed in that state. In other words this is a “globalist” bill.

If you have children under the age of 15 – actually the law says from birth to 15, their reproductive organs are under the jurisdiction of the state of Oregon. This bill HB 2002 – does that, it gives the state jurisdiction over your child’s reproductive hormones and organs. I can think of no law more egregious than this. And yet because of the deception of the media, the hysteria of Republicans, and Democrats too, crying abortion, abortion, and abortion- the real purpose of this bill was blurred. (this bill was and is not about abortion, abortion is allowed in our constitution, from age 15) it is about the state, not the parent, being in control of your child’s sexual orientation and reproductive body parts. Abortion is a part of that but it is already legal for age 15 and up.
So the Senators that put their job on the line for you and your children were told they could not run in the next election.
They did take their case to the courts and the Supreme Court, hand picked by the last two Democratic governors, ruled that measure 113 passed by 68% of people, will stand and therefore those that tried to stop this wrongful legislation by trying to prevent a quorum cannot run again. So who is protecting you now dear voter?

Measure 113 —changed the constitution – did you know that? It punishes people who try to prevent a quorum. And preventing a quorum is legal. Democrats have used this tactic also.
Measure 113 as written made you think that there were some lazy legislators who just didn’t bother to show up for work too many times and therefore should not be allowed to run again. Is that why you voted for it? Watch out for bills in the future, most of them are written so you don’t know what they mean.

Oregon Measure 113 -The exclusion from Re-election for Legislative Absenteeism initiative. A “yes” vote supported disqualifying legislators from re-election following the end of their term if they are absent from 10 legislative floor sessions without permission or excuse. This was approved by voters Nov. 8 2022. The Democrats, if they did this would be excused and given permission (as the majority)because there is no definition of what a valid excuse would be, or what would be permitted.

Playwriting Workshop and Post-Show Talk Planned This Weekend

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: nmccarthy1276@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Join the Coaster Theatre Playhouse and the Cannon Beach Library March 23 and 24 as they host Rob Urbinati, NYC-based playwright, for an illuminating weekend of events in celebration of his much-produced play, “Death by Design.”
Aspiring playwrights can attend a free event at the Cannon Beach Library, from 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday, March 23 when Urbinati will discuss the craft of playwriting, with a focus on coming up with ideas for plays, adapting for the stage from other sources, and getting started as a playwright by writing a 10-minute play. This event is open to anyone interested in theatre – artists and audiences alike.
Those attending the matinee of “Death by Design” at the Coaster Theatre at 3 p.m. March 24 can join a post-show talk with Urbinati and the play’s director, Deanna Duplechain who will discuss the play, its origins and current production. This is a reunion 25 years in the making for Urbinati and Duplechain, who met in New York City.
Urbinati wrote “Death by Design,” a hilarious mystery and a mash-up of Agatha Christie and Noel Coward. When the play found its way through the play Coaster Theatre’s selection team and landed on Duplechain’s lap for directorial consideration at the theatre, Duplechain said, “Hey, I know this guy.”
After a flurry of emails, Urbinati agreed to be in residence in Cannon Beach to complement the second weekend of “Death by Design” at the Coaster Theatre.
Rob Urbinati’s published plays include “Hazelwood Jr. High”; “Murder On West Moon Street”; “Mama’s Boy”; and “Jane Austen’s Lady Susan,” published by Samuel French/Concord, as well as “Cole Porter’s Nymph Errant,” published by Broadway Licensing; and “Miss Julie In Hollywood,” co-written with Mario Garza Jr., published by Next Stage Press. His plays have received over 300 productions world-wide.
His book, “Play Readings: A Complete Guide for Theatre Practitioners,” is published by Routledge Press.
Urbinati has directed for Classic Stage Company; Abingdon Theatre; Lincoln Center Directors Lab; Culture Project; Cherry Lane Theatre; York Theatre; Pearl Theatre Company; and Public Theater in New York City, as well as theatres and universities across the country. He is director of New Play Development at Queens Theatre and a member of the Dramatists Guild.
