MUSICAL STORYTIME FOR PRESCHOOLERS AT THE MANZANITA LIBRARY MARCH 9

Submitted By: sdawagner@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
Musical Storytime Three Hens and a Peacock

Bring your preschooler to hear a hilarious story at North Oregon Coast Symphony’s next free Musical Storytime. In March the featured story will be Three Hens and a Peacock by Lester Laminack. This program is a hands-on musical activity. The event will feature a live oboe accompaniment. Children will hear about a peaceful farm where animals don’t complain – until a peacock arrives. Be ready to laugh out loud as the tale unfolds. With vibrant illustrations this book is sure to be a favorite for children and adults. Afterwards preschoolers will learn more about the oboe and take part in making their own music with provided instruments.

This event will be offered at 10:30 Monday, March 9 at the North Tillamook Library in Manzanita.

The free readings for children ages 2 to 5 are planned monthly in partnership with the Astoria Library, North Tillamook Library in Manzanita, and the Seaside Library. Funding for some of the instruments used in this outreach program come from Clatsop County Cultural Coalition and Oregon Cultural Trust. We thank both organizations for their generosity.

The Deadliest Shipwreck: the Francis Leggitt

Submitted By: Info@nehalemvalleyhistory.org – Click to email about this post
On Saturday, March 14, NVHS will present Capt. Daniel Marvin. Capt. Dan captained throughout his career and has a fascination with all things related to sailing the waters of the Pacific Northwest. When he learned about the circumstances of the loss of the Leggitt, he thought that the investigation was lacking. His own investigation has drawn different conclusions and his findings throw a new light on the responsibility for the greatest loss of life on the Oregon coast. Come join us at NCRD’s Performing Arts Center. $10 at the door.

North County Resistance Protest Saturday, March 7, Nehalem, noon to 2 PM

Submitted By: pattyrinehart@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
Dear Friends,
Many of us know that America First is no longer at the top of the President’s Agenda.
We can thank the City of Manzanita for taking a stand this week, along with other cities in Tillamook County, against ICE in our communities. We thank the Manzanita Council for bringing this to a vote and also thank you to the people who attended the meeting.
People have questioned why North County Resistance has been out protesting every Saturday for over a year now. Kristi Noem is now out of her job. This realization gives us all a reason to go on with our Protests. We won’t give up. Accountability was never Noem’s headlights, but it is in ours. You know when I typed American Cabinet Secretaries into my search engine what came up were a bunch of wooden desks. Pretty funny!
In the United States Cabinet is the Department of Defense (DOD). Further reading says, “The Department of Defense (DOD) provides military forces to deter war, and to protect the security of the United States”.
“The Current head of the United States Department of Defense is Pete Hegseth, who serves as Secretary of Defense and is the top authority in the U.S. military chain of command under the president.”
This past week we have not “deterred war”. Further, neither Trump or Hegseth gave or are giving peace talks a chance. I leave you to go down the rabbit hole of Pete Hegseth’s background. I personally see Pete Hegseth’s smile quite like what you see on the bully on the school ground.
OK, now, since we are not giving up, we need your help. Bring another person with you to the North County Resistance Protest in Nehalem on Saturday, March 7th, from noon to 2 PM. And yes, dress for some wet weather. We will be collecting both people and animal food for the North County Food Bank and Nehalem Bay Community Services. Nehalem Bay Community Services also has a clothing bank and donations to that are greatly appreciated.
The NO KINGS3 event is scheduled for March 28. It will be held in Manzanita from noon to 2 PM. We still need volunteers for this event. If you can help please contact me either by email address or at the Protest in Nehalem on Saturday. We need 6 people to help with crossing at crosswalks, 5 people as safety marshals, and 3 more people for setup and teardown.
Also we are having an event on Sunday, March 15, which involves holding already made signs about fascism. More information about this will come out by this coming Sunday.
Thanks for reading, Patty

What Does Conscious Aging Mean to You?

Join us for a conversation about what inspires you and helps you through your aging journey.

We will offer quotes from a number of sources and from wise people through the ages, as prompts for discussion. Discussing in small groups, we will explore what it means to age mindfully — maybe even with grace, humor and equanimity. Then we will gather to exchange ideas with the whole group. You are encouraged to share quotes, poems or words of wisdom that inspire you to stay awake to how your life is unfolding.

Your $5 donation at the door supports the Pine Grove Community House.

Inspiration of the week We Shall Be Free by Garth Brooks

We Shall Be Free

By Garth Brooks

 

This ain’t comin’ from no prophet
Just an ordinary man
When I close my eyes I see
The way this world shall be
When we all walk hand in hand

 

When the last child cries for a crust of bread,

When the last man dies for just words that he said,

When there’s shelter over the poorest head,

We shall be free.

 

When the last thing we notice is the color of the skin,

And the first thing we look for is the beauty within,

When the skies and the oceans are clean again,

Then we shall be free.

 

We shall be free, we shall be free.

Stand straight, walk proud,

Cause we shall be free.

 

When we’re free to love anyone we choose,

When this world’s big enough for all different views,

When we all can worship from our own kind of pew,

Then we shall be free.

We shall be free.

 

We shall be free
Have a little faith
Hold out
‘Cause we shall be free

And when money talks for the very last time
And nobody walks a step behind
When there’s only one race and that’s mankind
Then we shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, walk proud, have a little faith, hold out
We shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, have a little faith

We shall be free

BBQ as a Soapbox REPLY

Submitted By: diwax54@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Totally agree! I literally scroll through these types and lengthy posts. Those of us who read our posts on small screens (our phones), it’s actually torture. Thus, I’m willing to bet others agree.

There are other local groups who are guilty of these types lengthy posts as well.

I remember when I first started posting in BBQ, there was a limit to how many characters could be posted. As I had to revise/limit a few of them.

Is it possible to go back and resume the orginal limit? I will be suggesting this to the administrator as well.

A suggestion for those who want to post lengthy posts… possibly post a summary with a link or pdf added with all the meat and potatoes and desert to read and consume one course at a time.
