Helping Our Community for the Holidays

The groups below are all 501(C) (3) organizations located here in North Tillamook County. Your help is needed every month of the year, and especially this time of year. School is out which means kids don’t have access to free breakfast or lunch. Mom and Dad are probably working so easy meals for kids to make help. Our seniors, many of whom have paved the way for their families to get by, deserve the wonderful food services we have available.

The Rockaway Lions Club will be providing Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinner fixings. Fresh fruits and vegetables, canned goods, and of course a turkey are provided to special families in the School District 56 area. The Lions are a wonderful group of people doing this work. The Lions are prepared for Thanksgiving but would surely appreciate your help at Christmas. More info on Rockaway Beach Lions can be found here: e-clubhouse.org-sites/rockaway/page-6.php.

Also in Rockaway Beach is the Meals for Seniors, Inc. program. This organization is open every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in the meeting hall next to the Catholic Church. Meals are also delivered to clients. A hot meal can be had for just a $4 donation, but you can still join them for lunch even if you don’t have the $4. Just $24 will pay for six hot and nutritious meals. $96 will serve that senior for a month. See more at mealsforseniorsrockawaybeach.org.

The North County Food Bank is in Wheeler. Financial donations enable them to purchase wholesome food at wholesale prices from the Oregon Food Bank, local grocers, and other sources. This Food Bank is going out of their way to provide Thanksgiving meals to people. With inflation hitting all of us, it is hitting the NCFB and their ability to buy food. Please help them out. More info www.northtillamookcountyfoodbank.org/

Nehalem Senior Lunches are provided at the Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church in Nehalem on Tuesday and Thursday. Lunches are also delivered. Again, sometimes lunch and a personal touch are what people need.

Last, but not least, is the CHILD Program also run at the Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church in Nehalem. At this time of year, the CHILD Program provides Christmas presents to children. Names of families are primarily provided by the school system. Children receive toys and other gifts plus clothing. Contact nehalembayumc.org/what-s-happening.

Please help as much as you can and thanks to you all.

CHILD Christmas Gift Program

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

C.H.I.L.D. PROGRAM
Many of you will recall the CHILD Program sponsored by the Methodist Church in Nehalem. This program provided 188 children in our area with new clothes when they go back to school this fall. Now is the time of year they gather new clothing and toys for our children at Christmas time. Right now, there are 100 children in the program with more to come.
The program helps people who are working, paying their bills, but can’t stretch their budgets enough for anything extra. If you are new to this program your part is somewhat simple. Each child has two tags, one for clothing and one for toys. You will find a number on the tag which correlates to the name of the child, you will find out what the child needs, their sizes, and favorite color. You purchase the items (you don’t have to get everything on the tag) and return them to the Methodist Church in Nehalem, or the place where you picked up the tag. Currently there are tags in Manzanita at the US Bank, Columbia Bank, and Manzanita Grocery and Deli. Please keep the tag with the presents so we can match up your purchases with the child. If you, your business or organization would like a tag(s) please get in touch with me, Patty, pattyrinehart@nehalemtel.net or leave a message at 503-368-6081. Shop online or shop in person, whatever works best for you. Donating dollars to the program will also work as a group of shoppers goes out to fill in the gaps.
Donations can be mailed to CHILD PROGRAM, PO Box 156, Nehalem, Or. 97131. Be sure you indicate on your check this is for the CHILD Program. The message telephone number for this program is 503-368-5612. You can also email nbumcchild@gmail.com. If you want a receipt for your purchase, please leave a SASE with your gift.
A community of people thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Not the only one

“Manzanita Growth”
I thought I was the only one who had concerns about the brew pub coming to Manzanita. I was gratified to see the letter from Patty Reinhart. In addition to the issues she brought up regarding parking I have some other concerns about the proposed brew pub in Manzanita. The proposed location on Laneda is already congested. The seating is for 100. If only a quarter of those people drive to the pub that’s an additional 25 cars in an already overcrowded location. Then there are the other 75 people walking along the street. There would be a great impact on traffic. Think about how it will be to visit any business in that area. Not only where you will park, but the hazards of getting to your location with the pedestrians and other vehicles all trying to get to their locations. Add to that, visitors to the area who don’t know where they are going, and you get the picture of the chaos that will become part of the character of our town.
Another impact to consider is the water requirements for a brew pub. What does Manzanita’s water supply look like? Can we support the needs of the residents and a brew pub in times of drought? A brew pub uses a lot of water. What about the future homes that will also want their share of water. Is there enough?
There is also the impact on the current businesses in Manzanita. Do we need another eating/drinking establishment? Are we currently supporting the existing businesses in town? Where will the workers come from? Will new workers come to the area and therefore need housing, or will the workers be taken from the existing workforce, leaving existing businesses short handed? Are there enough customers to go around or will this business drive new people to the area or take customers from existing businesses?
I lived in Cannon Beach for a long time, long enough to see the impact of too many tourists in too small of an area. Just going to the Post Office in the summer was an ordeal. The number of people crossing the street, not just at crosswalks, but between cars, made for hazardous driving conditions. The Pelican Brewery often has many people waiting on the sidewalk, and they have a parking lot. The City of Cannon Beach also has a parking lot 2 blocks away and very wide sidewalks, and still it can be a traffic nightmare. Manzanita does not have any parking lots, and I’ve noticed similar problems on Laneda in the summer with people spilling over into the street, darting across at locations other than a crosswalk, and blocking foot traffic in areas where they are standing rather than walking.
Manzanita does not have the space along Laneda to have spacious sidewalks and room for parking and room for cars traveling. As the candidates for city council have discussed, we need to keep our town safe. Safe for pedestrians and cars. We do not have the sidewalks, parking, and streets to do that presently.
It seems to me that there are many factors to consider when granting a building permit. As we develop a new comprehensive plan we should consider how many people we can attract to our small town and keep it safe for all who live here and all who visit. How much growth can we handle? Will the City gain enough revenue from a new business to offset the costs needed to handle the impacts of the new business? We need to plan for the future of our town before we make too many mistakes that cannot be undone.

Beautiful 2003 BMW SUV with 4WD For Sale!

Ready for safe winter mountain driving and holiday gift giving!

Beautiful 2003 BMW X5 3.0
Clean title. Ready to go.
$4,800

Fully loaded compact SUV with all leather interior, heated seats, sunroof and sports package. V6 All Wheel Drive. Lots of cargo space too.

It has 150,000 miles. The engine has been fully upgraded and overhauled to give it lots of new life- including:
New vanos system, cooling system, radiator, water pump, thermostat, head gasket,valve cover, drive belts, tensioners, alternator, ac compressor, air injection pump and spark plugs.

Body is in great condition!

I recently purchased this in Portland but then decided it was too fancy and not quite big enough for my farmers market hauling life.

When my friend offered me her used Subaru I decided to let this car go on to the next person.

Rick Scovel has looked it over and given it a clean bill of health. There is a faulty O2 sensor tripping on the service engine light but it’s not a problem with the car. A small fan by the radiator needs to be replaced eventually- I was going to do it but I don’t want to invest the time. It’s priced to accommodate the little fix needed.

Email me if interested. I’m posting here first before it goes up on Craigslist:) It’s located in Nehalem.
