Many of us are frustrated by the “mixed signals” we receive, sometimes as frequently as every hour, from our National Government. Despite these challenges, we are committed to upholding DEMOCRACY. Your participation is important, PLEASE join us.

Most attendees are familiar with the North County Resistance’s efforts to avoid interfering with local businesses in both Nehalem and Manzanita. In Nehalem, we ask protesters to remain on the right side of Highway 101 as it heads north. We will gather in the Nehalem Public Parking Lot, which has a capacity of about 100 people.

When confronted with negativity, we strive to respond with the peace sign instead of returning a middle finger. If you try both gestures, you’ll find that the peace sign is much easier. Additionally, there are instances of diesel trucks purposely emitting black smoke. For more information, you can search “purposely spewing black smoke from diesel trucks” online. It’s a bit of a rabbit hole, so be careful.

The North County Resistance is requesting support from volunteers. We need SAFETY MARSHALLS at our protests in Nehalem, and especially in Manzanita for the NO KINGS protest on March 28th. Although we had Safety Marshalls at the last NO KINGS protest, additional training would be beneficial for everyone involved.

Specifically, we are looking for at least 6 volunteers to serve as TRAFFIC MONITORS, ensuring safe passage for protest participants across Laneda and Highway 101, as well as Manzanita Avenue where it intersects with Highway 101. We also require 10 SAFETY MARSHALLS to be stationed within the crowd and respond to the dynamics of the protest.
If you are able to volunteer as a TRAFFIC MONITOR or SAFETY MARSHALL, please email or check in with the organizer tomorrow. North County Resistance would like to meet with volunteers to discuss expectations and provide information to guide your role.

And last, but not least, is a weather report. We are not looking for the water bombs and wind we had last week. That said, it is going to be cold. Bring your rain gear but you might be able to leave it in the car. You will need hat and gloves, and several layers on both top and bottom. And don’t forget your feet.

Thanks and don’t forget to volunteer to be a SAFETY MARSHALL or TRAFFIC MONITOR.

I think for us average folks we just need to be informed and aware of the dangers out there. Getting duped by malicious actors into believing stuff we wouldn’t otherwise is not freedom, it’s enslavement.

Ivy is an extremely outgoing, people-oriented cat that adores attention, being pet, etc. She has polydactyl front feet, and likes to talk to you. Ivy will be a wonderful companion for someone, but should be the only cat in her forever home.

Ivy has been spayed and vaccinated, and is litterbox trained. Could this beauty be for you?

See more photos and videos of Ivy at unitedpaws.org, and schedule a “Meet & Greet” by emailing unitedpawshelp@gmail.com.

As you probably know, North County Food Bank has been working for some time to build a new, permanent home for food distribution in north Tillamook County. We are pleased to report that we’ve completed several important steps on that journey, including buying and clearing land, getting permits, engaging an architect and civil engineer, and identifying a general contractor.

Our current plan is to build a very modest building with room for expansion. The project is located off Highway 101 in Nehalem, behind the Hope Chest Thrift Store.

Senator Suzanne Weber, who represents our district in the Oregon Legislature, has made allocating funds for site infrastructure (water, sewer, electricity) one of her priority projects for the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Capital Construction. We need to show the committee that this project has community support. That’s where you come in!

Will you take the time to submit a short written testimony to the committee in support of a new food bank for north Tillamook County? All testimony needs to be in by Sunday, February 15, so please don’t delay. Please tell your friends. Thank you for your support!

Here’s the easy process:

Go to: olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2026R1/Testimony/JWMCC/SB/5701/2026-02-13-13-00?area=Measures

In the On behalf of field, put North County Food Bank.

You don’t have to write much–they mostly just tally support. You can say something like this, but if you have experience as a client, volunteer, or supporter, feel free to make it your own:

I’m writing in SUPPORT of the North County Food Bank New Distribution Facility Project. The food bank has helped feed our Tillamook County community for 33 years, and they have to move because their old building is being demolished. This appropriation provides needed infrastructure for the project. Please support this project.
