Why do we need a library???

Submitted By: diannerbloom@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Dear Tillamook County Residents,

I strongly urge you to support the Tillimook County Library System by voting for Measure 29- 64, the operating levy tax that funds our county library system. If this Measure doesn’t pass in May 2022, we will loose our libraries and all the resources they offer. As it is, Tillamook County can not afford to do this. We are a rural, poor county and this is one our most important resources that is available to all. It doesn’t matter if you are rich, poor, young, old, handicapped, tech savvy or not etc, the library offers free service to all. The mobile book vans reach the entire county, especially helpful for those with out resources to drive and get around. I can’t tell you how many times I have driven by the library when it’s closed, and cars with seniors, families and kids are in the parking lot using the wifi. We don’t have to drive to Portland to get resources not available in our county, the library will get them for us or as in my case help me figure out how to do it myself. Its been great to use the library programs when the grand kids visit – what a nice way to get them off their electronic screens and they enjoy it! Please support our county by voting YES for Measure 29-64.

Plant Sale May 7-8 Nehalem Bay Garden Club

NEHALEM BAY GARDEN CLUB ANNUAL PLANT SALE
May 7th 9-4
May 8th 10-noon
43080 Northfork Rd, Nehalem

SPRING is HERE! And our gardens are growing Growing, GROWING!

For the past several years the gardeners of our region have relied on the annual Plant Sales at Lower Nehalem Community Trust’s Alder Creek Farm and Nehalem Bay Garden Club.

Alder Creek Farm (ACF) has traditionally focused on edible and native plants while the Nehalem Bay Garden Club (NBGC) sold a mix of ornamental and edibles. In January, NBGC members learned that ACF was not going to host a Plant Sale this year, due to a gap in garden management resources. NBGC members along with the community have grown to depend on the great plants that Alder Creek Farm grows as they select varieties that are proven performers in our coastal climate. We put our heads together and figured out a way to fill the gap and offer many of the plants that ACF has sold in the past. So your plant selections will be available from a local source as always.

For the past month NBGC members have been starting seeds and rearing the baby plant starts in their homes until they were large enough to transplant into 4” pots. They were then moved to the 9’ x 12 greenhouse at “Club Headquarter” at Don and Constance Shimek’s house. The greenhouse was a generous donation to the club a few years back and this year we were able to make full use of the resource and have it filled to the brim as our plants grow from tiny seedlings to “teenage” plants. Once they are large enough for gallon pots we are potting them up and finishing the growing in a full size hoop house. Thanks to the cooperation of the Trust, the NBGC began using the hoop house at the farm this week to continue growth of the tomatoes for one more month. They will be transferred to “Club Headquarters” and hardened off in time for our plant sale Saturday and Sunday May 7th and 8th. While our biggest crop focus this year is on edibles we will also be offering our usual ornamental plants; annuals, perennials, shrubs and a few trees.

The Sale will be held at 43080 Northfork Rd, Nehalem, OR 97131. Follow signs up Northfork Road or up Highway 53 to Nehalem Bay Garden Club Headquarters, located at the corner of Hwy 53 and Northfork Rd. We will have directional signs posted on both roads. Sale will be open from 9-4 Saturday and 10-noon on Sunday. We are thrilled to be able to partner with Lower Nehalem Community Trust to keep our community supplied with locally grown vegetable starts.

Nehalem Bay Garden Club donates proceeds from the sale to local organizations focused on food security and garden education in our community. Past recipients include North County Food Bank, Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church for their food programs, Food Roots, Hoffman Gardens, Alder Creek Farm, Nehalem Elementary Garden Program, and the mural at Nehalem City Park.

New Owner of spa manzanita

Submitted By: janicebge@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hello dear friends of spa manzanita,
I am writing to you all today to let you know that I have sold spa manzanita.

Back in 2006 when I thought opening a day spa in Manzanita “might work” and “someone should do it, so why not me? I had no idea of what an amazing journey I would go down. So so many stories, adventures and relationships, tears and success!
I feel very blessed (and a bit lucky), to have created this wonderful place in our beautiful town. But there is no way I could have done it without your support and kindness. This very much includes the spa staff over the years. I was very fortunate to have such a great team along the way.we
I will truly miss seeing you walk in the door of the spa, your smile and hugs that have been there over the many years, but they are all held in my heart forever!

The new owner Maggie is absolutely wonderful, again I have been blessed with the most perfect person to take the spa on and continue to service our community. Not only is she the new owner of spa manzanita but she is a new dear friend of mine.

I am not going away (except for a 2 week road trip in May in my new Transit van), my husband Mike and I are staying right here. I plan on continuing my work as a Health/Wellness Coach, and of course surfing, fishing and having fun any way I can.

Gratitude fills my heart right now, and a bit of sadness, but mostly joy and love!
Thank you,
Janice Gaines-Ehlen
