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 went 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, the tag tells you 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.

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.

The Clatsop Community College Royal Nebeker Art Gallery will open its 2022/2023 exhibition season with a show celebrating our beautiful environs as well as the bustle and business of a seafaring community in The SHIP SHOW, curated by Ben Killen Rosenberg.

This exhibit will run from October 13, 2022 through January 26, 2023.

This exhibit features artwork by the following artists: Lindsey Aarts, Mark Andres, the late James Weldon Brown, Sally Cleveland, Roger Dorband, Annie Eskelin, Kevin Farrell, Anna Fidler, Drea Frost, Friderike Heuer, Nick Knapton, Randy McClelland, the late Royal Nebeker, Henk Pander, Paul Polson, Ben Rosenberg, John Taylor, Kristin Shauck, Lucien Swerdloff, and Noel Thomas.

Ben Killen Rosenberg, Clatsop Community College’s Printmaking Instructor, who conceived of and curated the exhibit, explains his concept for this show:

“When visiting Astoria, I always stop to watch the ships traveling up the Columbia River. Large vessels bringing goods or carrying vacationers from places near and far away pass by– a visual delight for all who see them. Ships are mysterious and romantic; they speak to an earlier time and a slower pace of travel, as they pass through vast bodies of waters.

“Ships can also be ominous harbingers of cruelty and environmental damage. From news reports I’ve followed, I’ve learned of ships carrying illegal cargo or using slave labor changing the GPS locations to avoid being caught by the few authorities on the “look out. Out at sea, in stateless open waters, the environmental impacts and horrendous labor conditions are monitored by almost no one.

“This is a show about ships as we know them–cruise ships, tanker ships, container ships, offshore vessels and fishing ships–it’s a Ship Show, which sounds a lot like something we’ve all been saying the past couple of years. Enjoy!”

The CCC Royal Nebeker Gallery is dedicated to enriching the cultural life of the campus, the local community, and the North Coast region. Please join CCC in its mission to sustain and promote contemporary art and visual culture through professional exhibitions and programming. The CCC Royal Nebeker Gallery, located at 1799 Lexington Avenue in Astoria, is ADA accessible. The gallery hours are from 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and on weekends and holidays by appointment only. For more information, please contact Kristin Shauck by phone (503-338-2472) or e-mail kshauck@clatsopcc.edu.

CHILD Tags are available. These tags are wish lists for children in our community for Christmas. Each tag will include the age and favorite color of the child. Each child has two tags, one for clothing and one for toys. Parents are asked to sign their children up if they feel they won’t be able to provide their children with Christmas. Each tag has a number on it which corelates to the child and their wishes. It is important to keep the tag with your gift or even write the number on the bag you bring your gift in. Please do not wrap your gifts-this is for the parents to do. You can return gifts to Manzanita Grocery & Deli, U.S. Bank in Manzanita, or Columbia Bank in Manzanita. Or you can return gifts to Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church in Nehalem. These three businesses and Church also have tags you can pick up. Please return your gifts by December 12th. If you would like a donation receipt, please provide your mailing address or SASE is even better. The CHILD phone number is 503-368-5612, please leave a message. Other contact information includes an email:
nbumcchild@gmail.com. You can also contact me via email: pattyrinehart@nehalemtel.net and I can give you information on what is needed. This has been a remarkably successful program for our children. Thanks for your help! Patty

There is only one cause, “slow internet speed,” whatever the scenario is. Although you paid for a high MBs package and according to your ISP, your internet must not have weak or dropping signals. But, it is not working properly.

So, in such cases, troubleshooting the problems is necessary to know whether the router device is the problem, internet speed is the issue or connection trouble with the devices.

And this is exactly where the Zoom internet speed test jumps in and shows its magic. So, if you want to know the basic concept and role of the Zoom internet speed test in our internet connections, give this article a thorough read till the end.

What Is Zoom Internet Speed Test?
Whether you have a zoom broadband internet connection or any other ISP’s connection, getting a regular internet speed test is mandatory. To know the amount of internet MBs you are getting from your ISPs and the cause behind your slow internet speed test.

The Zoom internet speed test tools provide various tests that affect your internet speed, like download internet speed, upload internet speed, jitter, and Ping. Let’s move forward and see how does Zoom internet speed test takes place.

How Is The Internet Speed Tested With Zoom Internet Speed Tool?
Zoom is one of the leading and most powerful internet broadband connections among users. It provides great internet speed for live-streaming games, online classes, interviews, fast installing the apps from the play store, and chatting with your loved ones.

But, if the internet is slow due to device problems or weak signals, a speed test can help you determine the real cause and fix it. Let’s see how this Zoom broadband internet speed test tool works!

Let’s deal with the two major internet speed test components: download and upload internet tests.

Download Internet Speed Test
When you click on the “Go” button, the internet speed test starts with connecting your device to the nearest server available in your location.

Then, the device downloads small data files from the server to the device. Meanwhile, the speed tool calculates the speed of the files documented and the time required for the download.

After a few seconds, the Zoom broadband internet speed test results show the measurements in seconds.

Upload Internet Speed Test
The upload internet speed test is similar to the downloading internet test, but the only difference is uploading the files from the device to the server. It started with connecting to the server nearer to your device’s location.

After connecting successfully, the device uploads small files to the server. Meanwhile, the tool calculates the time to upload the files, the same as the download speed test.

The uploading internet speed test comes with the download internet speed test.

How To Take a Zoom Broadband Internet Speed Test For Your Internet Connection – A Step By Step Guide
So, without any further ado, let’s jump straight to the guide to testing your zoom broadband internet speed, so you can easily get a test, troubleshoot your connectivity problem, and fix it.

Step: 01: Open a new tab and go to the URL of the Zoom broadband speed test tool. You can also get to the tool directly by clicking here.

Step:02: After loading the page, click on the “Go” button.

Step: 03: After running the test, wait for a few seconds until the test is completely loaded and the results are shown.

Step: 04: Now, after loading, you can view the ping speed and Jitter speed, download the internet speed test and upload the internet speed test with the help of the Zoom broadband internet speed test tool.

How To Get The Correct Internet Speed Test Measurements?
Using a tool to test your internet speed test doesn’t ensure you correct speed measurements unless you take certain steps regarding your laptop, computer, phone, tablets, other devices, and your internet connectivity device (router).

So, below are some of the tips and tricks that can help you in getting the accurate Zoom broadband internet speed test:

If you have multiple devices connected to your Wireless or Wired connection, disconnect all of them except the device you are using for the internet speed test.
If you are using an online application in the background of your device, close it and reopen it after taking the test.
Restart the device on which you are taking the speed test. The accuracy of the downloading and uploading internet speed has a lot to do with the devices’ hardware.
Whether it is the first time you are taking the internet speed test or testing multiple times in a row, clear the browser’s cache history. You won’t get accurate calculations if the files exist on your device due to previous downloading and uploading tests.
If you have a wired connection or using wireless internet, restart the router in both cases to have the router in fully-functioning condition.
Don’t take the internet speed test at the wrong time of the day. On Saturday nights and Sunday evenings, when every person is watching youtube or live-streaming games, your internet is supposed to be slow due to heavy traffic. And, of course, your ISP is not responsible for the internet traffic.
Don’t test your Zoom broadband internet speed while using the VPN. It can slow your internet and show your incorrect calculation, except you specifically want to see how fast VPN internet is working.
Wrapping Up
Getting a Zoom broadband internet speed test has become easy and quick using the speed testing tool. It is simple to run and gives accurate results if you follow the steps correctly and take all the necessary measures before taking the speed test.

So, click and get a zoom internet speed test for your connection to know the reason behind slow internet. And instantly fix it up to enjoy fast and uninterrupted internet.
