Scone Friday/Art Opening at NCRD
The theme of the show is “Light”. It is interesting to see how the the 20 or so artists interpreted that.
NCRD is locate at 36155 9th Street in Nehalem.
This Saturday The People vs. Agent Orange Movie at Tillamook Library
The Agent Orange catastrophe did not end with the Vietnam War. Today, the world over, a primary chemical of the notorious defoliant controls weeds in farming, forestry, parks, along railbeds and roadways, and even in children’s playgrounds. The pesticide can wreak havoc on the human genome, causing deformities and deadly cancers.
This investigative documentary interweaves personal with political struggles as it follows two heroic women who are leading a worldwide movement to hold manufacturers of these pesticides accountable.
After the film, people will have opportunities to learn more about the pesticide-related challenges Oregonians continue to face, especially in the fight to keep surface drinking water safe. Carol Van Strum and Susan Swift, two of the activists starring in the film, will be on hand to answer questions after the movie.
Trailer: https://vimeo.com/user37094368/review/460648960/ebcfe738a1
NCCWP wants no more logging and pesticide use in community water sources regardless of who owns the land, and wants an end to pesticide applications near where people live, work and recreate. Safe drinking water and clean air are part of the public trust that we all are entitled to have.

This Saturday Decoupage Pumpkin Workshop



DULCIMER TAKEN
SNAP FRAUD
Key Details from USDA Findings
In court filings, a USDA official described a preliminary review of state data that found several types of potential fraud and abuse, including:
300,000 potential instances of deceased individuals still enrolled in SNAP.
Over 500,000 instances of “dummy” Social Security numbers being used.
Households receiving multiple payments or individuals receiving benefits in multiple states.
Undocumented Immigrants and SNAP:
Federal law prohibits undocumented immigrants from receiving SNAP benefits; generally, only U.S. citizens and eligible legal residents can receive them. However, the USDA has made this a focus of recent crackdowns following a presidential executive order.
Government Shutdown: The current government shutdown, which started in October 2025, has added urgency to the situation, with the USDA Secretary making the fraud findings public as a means to encourage congressional action on funding and program reform. The lack of a funding resolution threatens to disrupt benefits for millions of Americans.

Classic Street, Council Meeting tomorrow, and comment on Randy Kugler posting of 11/3/25
Make the walkway 48″. This gives you a 22 foot wide road.
“Key ODOT rules and requirements
Other relevant factors
* Minimum width: A typical public walkway minimum width is 48 inches, allowing two people to walk side-by-side”
Simple, no?
This would also up the safety factor for pedestrians as vehicles would have extra room that could prevent crashes and incidental injury to pedestrians. Bicycles, as the speed limit is 20MPH and there are traffic smoothing bumps to slow traffic. Perfect for mixing in bikes and keeping the path for pedestrians only.
Hope the Council members can do something for the long-term safety of pedestrians as well as the increasing traffic.
Of course, the State will be fronting $2.7 million of the $3 million cost for this. Manzanita could have had, for a decent dollar amount additional, (and there’s a lot of money in the Manzanita City reserves that could have been used) a retaining wall on the west that would have retained the blacktop from slumping on the west.
And, oh by the way, the downhill “hotel” construction will be starting soon, and that steep slope (over 30 degrees in places) will be close to or part of the construction effort. So now, with a new structure downhill, that west retaining wall will never be built.
But, as I wrote recently, it is too late, and the Council has already congratulated itself (see it on the video) and the CM for the “workarounds”. Well, it was a workaround to diss the $400,000 cost of design of a nationally known engineering company. And so it goes. Classic.
Nedonna RFPD Meeting
PROTEST in Nehalem-Nov. 8-noon to 2 PM
Greetings from the North County Resistance group. We will be PROTESTING once again on November 8, in Nehalem, from noon to 2 PM. We will gather at the main intersection in Nehalem; parking is available nearby. Look for our signs and friendly faces to join in. We do hope you will join us. My phone is showing me it will be cloudy and cool. The 21 people who met last Saturday to PROTEST got a little wet. It was fine when we started and then there was a mad dash to cars to get the rain gear on. So, dress in layers and don’t forget the rain gear. Bring your signs if you have some—we always have some to share. I like to bring a chair, but with the rain last week sitting was not so comfortable.
When 2 PM came last week we all gave a huge cheer to one another.
5 weeks plus of the Government Shutdown. Absolutely no winners in this game. The American people are the losers. SNAP benefits cut in half and food banks are serving at least twice as many people. We are very lucky to live where we do as so many people are stepping up with donations, cash, and such to help provide food for many in our community.
Every can of food or dollar donated helps a local family in need—just bring your items to the protest or drop them off. Yes, we continue to collect food for the North County Food Bank at our PROTEST. You don’t have to be part of the PROTEST, but just drop off food, checks, cash for whatever organization you wish to donate, and we will get your donation where you want it to go.
A couple of addresses for you would be North County Food Bank, PO Box 162, Wheeler, Oregon 97147. Currently the NCFB cannot take clothing. The Nehalem Bay Community Services Food Pantry in Nehalem is taking both food, clean clothing and bedding, blankets, and such. Let’s start getting those closets cleaned out—we’re not the same size we used to be. Both organizations are doing their best to help in this crisis.
Last week, one participant shared how receiving food from the pantry made a difference for their family. Moments like these remind us why we come together—thank you for being part of this caring community.
Ideas for giving food include, breads, cereal, meats, frozen meals, eggs, cottage cheese, yogurt, fresh produce, canned fruits and vegetables, canned meats, peanut butter and jelly, soup, chili, catsup, mayo, flower, sugar, yeast, to just name a few items. Consider a box of food to feed a family of 4 for a day or two. You get the drift and the gift! Save your receipts for a tax deduction if you qualify.
Thanks to this generous community for all your donations and support so far. We have just a little over two weeks until Thanksgiving. Kids will be out of school with no breakfast or lunch they would normally get at school on Thursday and Friday. How can you help with that? What would your kids want?
Best,
Patty Rinehart
