A Celebration of Life for Gregory Lee Hightower (1952-2025) will be held at the Performing Arts Center at the North County Recreation District in Nehalem on Saturday, May 10 from 2 to 5 p.m.
Doors to the theater will open at 1:30 p.m. We will have a slideshow running. The tribute starts at 2 p.m. There will be an opportunity to mingle with friends and share more Greg stories in the NCRD kitchen/gallery/fireside room from 3:30 to 5 p.m., with the slideshow shown again for those who missed it.
In lieu of flowers, and to honor Greg’s great love of rescuing cats, especially his feral Mr. Finn, and his love of feeding all birds and stray animals, the family requests donations to Animal Haven by the Sea at animalhavenbythesea.com. Or in honor of Greg’s love of nature, a donation to the North Coast Land Conservancy at www.nclctrust.org.
For information or questions, contact Kathie Hightower at 503-739-1505 or kathiejhightower@gmail.com. She welcomes any stories people may have about Greg, even if they come to you weeks after the event.

Thank you,
Calling everyone with a body, a curious mind and an open heart! No experience or fitness level necessary. There is no right or wrong way to do ecstatic dance! You are only asked to allow the music to touch you and to find in your body what wants to be expressed, to be released. You are there to do your dance, whatever that is, as it is, in the present moment. This is a practice meant to serve our authenticity, our fluid nature. Whatever you’re feeling, is where you begin. The world is so heavy and we all carry so much. Ecstatic dance is an emptying, a way to keep the heaviness from solidifying, a way to break up any calcification that has been with you, so that you can continue to show up again and again, renewed. It is an ancient path of resilience.
Ecstatic dance is so simple and so deep. Ecstatic dance is a conversation between your body and your spirit. It has the power to be holy. It is also simply incredibly joyful and freeing to dance with ourselves, with spirit, with each other. *That said, you are in no way expected or required to be in direct physical contact with anyone else. Some people enjoy a bit of “contact” dancing and those people will find each other. Everyone is actually encouraged to go within and dance from a place of deep listening and connection to self and spirit- near others doing the same.*
6- 6:30pm What is spirit dance, ecstatic dance, 5-rhythms? Bring your beginners mind and your questions! I, three-years into it, am a beginner too! I’ll give a little history and a little demo on Gabrielle Roth’s 5-rhythms ecstatic dancing , as I am beginning to understand it. This will also be a time to warm up, to stretch a bit.
6:30- 8pm Dance your grief dance, your joy dance, your compassion dance, your sacred anger dance, your acceptance dance, your gratitude dance, your I-don’t-have-any-idea-what-I’m-doing dance. Come dance your “right now, it’s like this” dance. Only you will know what that is, and whatever it is will be perfect!
Sliding scale $10-20
No one turned away for lack of funds.
Kids welcome and free!
We dance barefoot or in soft, “dance floor only” shoes.
No strong scents, please.

Happy to share more photos upon request.
1. Oregon DOT is responsible for herbicide spraying along Highway 53 (not Tillamook County as I previously wrote in the BBQ.) ODOT owns 30 ft from the centerline of the road and is responsible for twice annual herbicide spraying along the shoulders.
2. A no-cost annual No Spray permit from ODOT is required to ensure no herbicide is sprayed along your property. Signage alone does nothing. Permit must be filed in January to ensure no spraying in the Spring and for the second application.
3. The landowner has maintenance obligations identified in the permit in lieu of ODOT herbicide spraying.
4. To secure your annual no-cost No Spray permit, contact:
ODOT Permit Department
503.325.7222
5. ODOT will email you a permit to be completed. Permit takes a month or more to make it’s way to the maintenance department, so get your permit application into ODOT in January to ensure you are covered for the year.

A: They have all given up on this world. They’ve bought into a kind of apocalyptic fever?”
For me, this has been one of the least understandable pieces of our new extremist age. How can so many disparate people, groups and movements possibly believe they will benefit by signing up for this horror?
Here’s an article by Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor in The Guardian: The Rise of End Times Fascism
www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2025/apr/13/end-times-fascism-far-right-trump-musk
The point that made my hair stand on end: Once Trump’s policies fail, the only thing left will be sadism.

During this gathering, we invite the public to participate in a letter writing event to address concerns about timber sales in our local state forests. We will provide attendees with paper, envelopes, crafting materials, and talking points to help guide letter writing.
Registration requested: forms.gle/iMKNj2aGkSQpuN8T6
Each year, the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) drafts an Annual Operations Plan (AOP) that outlines proposed timber sales on public forestland. State forests provide outdoor recreation, education and interpretation opportunities, essential wildlife habitat, and clean water. The money from timber sales also contributes to county revenue. However, there are a growing number of residents within this historically timber-dependent county that are concerned by the amount of clearcutting and related pesticide applications.
On April 18th, the draft AOP for 2026 was submitted to the Board of Forestry, initiating a 45-day public comment period through June 3rd. During this comment period, citizens may offer recommendations. In 2023, the Oregon Department of Forestry only received 29 public comments statewide. After our AOP letter writing event in 2024, more than 1,000 comments were submitted!
ODF is offering several convenient avenues to comment on Annual Operating Plans:
Comments can be emailed to odf.sfcomments@odf.oregon.gov
Comments can also be mailed to ODF Public Affairs, 2600 State St., Salem, OR 97310
Online comments are also received through ODF’s comments page (www.oregon.gov/odf/recreation/pages/comment.aspx)

With Ranger EV, you can turn a simple wall outlet, or your existing Level 2 charger, into a Ranger Station that makes it easy to share energy and get reimbursed when guests plug in. No extra hardware, no complex setup, this energy sharing platform is simple to use and similar to Venmo.
Ranger Stations are already popping up around Manzanita, helping local hosts attract more bookings and make the most of what they already have.
