FRIENDS OF NETARTS BAY – WEBS, HOSTS
THREE TIDEPOOL DISCOVERY DAYS IN THE MONTH OF JUNE

Join us on the beach for some great low tides this June, perfect for exploring and discovering the amazing creatures lurking at the water’s edge. Choose one day – or all three – on the beautiful beaches in Oceanside.

This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with the local community, friends, and family as you enjoy the beauty of Oceanside’s amazing tidepools. We hope to see you on the beach June 16th from 7:30 a.m. – 10:30 a.m., the 17th from 8 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. and 18th from 8:30a.m. – 12:00 pm.

Friends of Netarts Bay WEBS staff, Oregon State Park Rangers, and volunteers will be on-site in the tidepools to share about the habitats along the coastal edge. Learn about the anemone clone wars, how a sea star eats, or how hermit crabs find their shelled homes. From seaweeds to sculpin fish, there is an amazing world to discover!

Details: Wear boots or bring a change of shoes. DO NOT WEAR flip-flops (they are never ideal for exploring tide pools). Be prepared for Oregon Coast weather.

This program involves walking on slippery and uneven surfaces, including rocks that may be covered in water, seaweed, and barnacles. 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.

LETTER TO EDITOR: Public Remains Unaware of DA’s Office Investigation, Calls for DA’s Resignation Du

LETTER TO EDITOR: Public Remains Unaware of DA’s Office Investigation, Calls for DA’s Resignation Due to Incompetency, Other Issues
Posted on May 28, 2026 by Editor
EDITOR’S NOTE: The Pioneer has also published the initial County announcement of the investigation conclusions, and the DA’s Response – see links below. We have also inquired about the timing of the release of the investigation (just weeks before the election) as well as other questions about working toward solutions.

Many people have expressed interest in obtaining a copy of the 200-page investigative report addressing seven formal complaints filed by victims, victims’ rights advocates, and county employees about the District Attorney’s office. The report’s findings concluded that Ms. Olson was incompetent.

Will Chappell, editor of the Headlight Herald, has written several articles that can be found on the HH website(links below)or at local library branches, particularly in the past two weeks’ editions. After reading the document and discussing related issues—including Ms. Olson’s attempts to identify whistleblowers—he wrote four pieces that also include Ms. Olson’s response to the investigative report.

I always encourage people to review primary documents and form their own opinions. To obtain an electronic copy of the report from county counsel Bryan Libel, you can submit a request under the Oregon Public Records Law. Direct your request to bryan.libel@tillamookcounty.gov. Any questions regarding this matter, can also be addressed to Mr. Libel at the same email address.

Many of us have long questioned Ms. Olson’s competency and are calling for her resignation.

Free generator, does not currently work. It seems to have seized up, and we can’t get it moving with the pull starter. Might not be as bad as we think to someone who knows how to work on engines! Please email me to coordinate pickup on Nehalem off of Hwy 53. It’s heavy, so please have a friend or two with you to lift it! We’d love to have this gone as soon as possible!

Manzanita Farmers Market Week 3: Friday 4-7

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: info@manzanitafarmersmarket.com – Click to email about this post
The sun was shining and market was hopping last weekend, and we’re ready to do it again! We’ll be back for week 3 on Friday, 4-7 pm, with all the deliciousness. I’ve been loving the ripe strawberries, fresh greens, and beautiful flowers!

Help support our SNAP match program by buying our new 2026 commemorative poster, created by vendor Katie Simmons. We also have new organic cotton tote bags for sale featuring last year’s poster design. Stop by the market info booth to purchase merch, or to run your SNAP card! We also have the beach wheelchairs from the Visitor Center available to borrow at the info booth, free of charge.

Market is a great place to grab a casual dinner and enjoy live music with friends. This week we are welcoming back Sasquatch Sandwich Shop after a winter of travel! His sandwiches and Korean pork bowls are a hit, and one of my personal favorite market treats is his Vietnamese coffee. Malia’s Grill serves up tasty, nourishing poke bowls and Hawaiian plate lunches. Gnarly’s Tacos has amazing carnitas and fish tacos and pupusas. Antojitos Don Berna has refreshing original smoothies and mini pancakes, and Blessed Donuts serves up fresh, hot, gluten free mini donuts!

Music this week is by Lauren Sheehan. Dubbed the “Portland String Queen”, she plays a mix of old blues, early jazz, roots, and country for a blues-billy good time.

NCCWP Presents the Film “Free to Grow” at Bay City Arts Center

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: coyotevibe@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
UPCOMING EVENT – In one week on June 4th, Old Grove Films, Beyond Toxics, and North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection collaborate on an event presenting a screening of “Free to Grow,” with filmmaker Jesse Andrew Clark in attendance. The half-hour documentary explores the impact of industrial pesticide use on Oregon families. Oregonians have taken up the fight against aerial herbicide spraying by the forestry industry for over fifty years — but has public safety around these substances improved?

After the film, Jennifer Eisele from Beyond Toxics will discuss practical ways that coastal residents can keep track of spraying in their communities and watersheds. This includes a first-of-its-kind map which plots pesticide applications in Oregon forests from 2014 to 2024. We will also provide resources to sign up for future forestry herbicide spray notifications through the Oregon Forestry Activity Electronic Reporting and Notification System (FERNS). Admission is free. Bay City Arts Center, 5680 A Street, Bay City, Oregon, Thursday, June 4, doors at 5:45 p.m., film at 6 p.m.

NCCWP wants no more logging and pesticide use in community drinking water sources regardless of who owns the land, and wants an end to pesticide applications near where people live, work, and recreate.
