WHY A ‘YES’ ON THE NEAHKAHNIE SCHOOL LEVY IS A GOOD IDEA

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: carl@alittlecolor.com – Click to email about this post
Hello BBQ Peruser,
I’m writing to urge you to vote YES for the 5-year Neahkahnie School District Levy on your ballot. Timber revenues allotted to the district are far below what was forecast, and the need is critical. In exchange for the cost of a nice cup of coffee per month ($5.50 for the average property owner– you do tip, right?) you will be helping to: “prevent reductions to teaching and staff positions; maintain current average class sizes; maintain extracurricular and athletics programs; support Career and Technical Education and Dual Credit/Expanded Options courses; and avoid the loss of instructional time through potential furlough days.” (from the District site, nknsd.org/levy/) My understanding is that the funding support would be equal to more than 20 teaching positions in our very small district. I don’t want to imagine the hit our kids and teachers would take without this critical funding. I feel that the average property owner offering the equivalent of a nice cup of coffee to our teachers and district staff once a month is a very good investment, maintaining the quality of a district that factors meaningfully into property values, and Mightily toward the common good. Thanks! Carl Whiting, Wheeler Resident

Nautical Historian Peter Marsh Liberty Ships Talk at Fort Clatsop

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

The Lewis & Clark National Park Association is pleased to announce a guest author event: Liberty Ships with Peter Marsh. This free event will take place on May 4, 2025, at 2 PM in the Netul River Room of the Visitor Center at Lewis and Clark National Historical Park.
Nautical/outdoor journalist and author Peter Marsh of Liberty Factory – The Untold Story of Henry Kaiser’s Oregon Shipyards will speak about the WWII Kaiser shipyards on the Columbia and Willamette Rivers, beginning with 2025 being the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day or V-E Day on May 8, 1945. Autographed books and historical cards will also be available.
Peter Marsh was born in Greenwich, in the heart of Britain’s maritime heritage, and was soon smitten with a love of small boats and sailing. These adventures gave him the raw material for articles in regional boating magazines, his first published works. Success in this field led him into a career as a freelance journalist and he widened his scope to cover all aspects of local maritime interest from fishing to commercial shipping. in 1996 he inherited a substantial archive of papers and photographs from Larry Barber, the retired marine editor of the local newspaper, The Oregonian. A visit to the D-Day beaches in Normandy led him to look more closely at Barber’s wartime material. Peter has spent the last several years sorting, collating and editing the material, while also researching the background, and this book is the result.
This event is sponsored by the Lewis & Clark National Park Association (LCNPA) and hosted at Lewis and Clark National Historical Park. The Fort Clatsop Bookstore is a program of the LCNPA, a nonprofit 501c3 supporting education at the park since 1963. The bookstore is located inside the visitor center at 92343 Fort Clatsop Road, Astoria, OR 97103 and online at FortClatsopBookstore.com & LewisAndClarkNPA.org

Volunteers Needed For The 2025 Manzanita Open

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: manzanitaopen@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Every year in May, our non-profit organization, The Eugene Schmuck Foundation hosts The Manzanita Open golf tournament to raise money for our local communities. The event started in the 1990’s, but in 1997, local philanthropist Eugene Schmuck helped transition the tournament to ESF. This move assured that the funds raised stay right here, in the North Tillamook County area. Since taking over, we have given away over 1.8 million dollars to many, many wonderful organizations that help others, to our schools, and through scholarships for graduating senior and alumni.

Our 2025 event will be May 16, 17, and 18th with lots of fun golfing, hanging out by the burger tent, games, door prizes, and raffles. Which is where you come in!

We need volunteers to help us put on the event. We are looking for volunteers for the following times and events. If you want to enjoy the great outdoors and support a worthy cause we would love to hear from you. Please email manzanitaopen@gmail.com with the event(s) and time(s) when you can help.

Strategic Aerosol Injections; conspiracy theory no more

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: runnawaytrain1@gmx.com – Click to email about this post
Told ya so! Look up! Spray days are quite obvious on the coast, from Tillamook to Astoria. They spray a lot more around Portland. But they don’t fly out of Seattle and spray every day. And you have to look up! Bird watchers should be well-aware of spray days; they are very obvious.

The Johnson Near Space Center located at the Tillamook Airport is involved with these guys and the Tillamook County Commissioners should investigate these arrogant anti-American/anti-Oregonian AND THEN SHUT THEM DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOVERNOR KOTEK SHOULD INVESTIGATE THESE CRIMINALS AND STOP THEM!!!!!!!!

Why do we have to hear about this on a Dr. Phil television show?????

x.com/MJTruthUltra/status/1917262967000748277

“The Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) was responding to an audience member’s question, who said chemtrails (or stratospheric aerosol injections) were her biggest concern when it comes to public health.
He added that HHS was not responsible for the alleged decision to spray chemicals into the atmosphere, but he did have his suspicions of who would have done it.
‘That is not happening in my agency,’ RFK Jr declared. ‘You know, we don’t do that. It’s done — we think — by DARPA.’
DARPA is the Pentagon’s secretive innovation agency, in charge of driving high-risk, high-reward research for defense purposes and beyond. Their research is also believed to include advances in medical tech and AI.”

(DARPA does all sorts of nasty anti-human, anti-American work for the billionaire class, at our expense! This includes the ‘covid’ campaign and engineered economic shutdown, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves…)

www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14665189/RFK-Jr-claims-US-sinister-program-mocked-conspiracy-theory-vows-end-it.html

It’s not like this CFR speech (below) by Obama’s CIA director has been on YouTube for 10 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!

rumble.com/vrbaad-remember-when-former-cia-director-john-brennan-admitted-plans-for-chemtrail.html

And it’s not like LBJ talked about geoengineering (below) 60 years ago!!!!!!!!!!

(One can also see satellite agitation when they do it, but again, let’s not get ahead of ourselves.)

WHAT A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY REALLY LOOKS LIKE

By Taxpayers Association of Oregon
OregonWatchdog.com

Just this week, the Oregon Senate voted to STRIP VOTERS OF THE RIGHT TO VOTE in an election to fill a vacant U.S. Senate Seat — which is current law. Senate Bill 952 would change the rules by letting the GOVERNOR DECIDE FOR THE VOTERS ON WHOM THEIR SENATOR SHOULD BE. With U.S. Senator Ron Wyden looking more frail than ever before and announced plans to run for re-election in 2028 — this bill may be prophetic.

THE GOVERNOR WILL CHOOSE YOUR CANDIDATE FOR YOU- Senate Bill 952 strips voters of the right to vote in U.S. Senate replacement elections. Cant vote for the candidate to represent you!!

STEAL YOUR KICKER TAX FOR YOU WITHOUT A VOTE!
• House Bill 1177 would by force steal the people’s kicker tax refund without a vote and DESPITE THAT ITS IN THE CONSTITUTION That bill had a speedy hearing so you wouldn’t notice your rights are being debated away. NO MORE KICKER!

• Gov. Kotek drafted House Bill 2528 would empower her agencies to extend taxes and ban products related to nicotine and TO DO SO WITHOUT A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE or the people’s elected representatives. People opposed this idea 9-to-1 and yet it is still being pushed.

• Senate Joint Resolution 30 would slow-down and Increase number of signatures needed to put a citizen measure on the ballot by as much as 33% and also require signature gathering jurisdiction requirements.

SB 687 WOULD REMOVE VOTER APPROVAL of local gas taxes.

• HB 3166 would strip political parties of the ability TO FULLY NOMINATE THEIR OWN CANDIDATE while forcing rank-choice voting on Oregonians despite that the fact that the rank vote scheme was rejected by Oregon voters just months ago in the November 2024 General election!

What say Democrats ?

Looking for flooring, possible leftovers or salvage from your flooring projects.

I never got flooring Down in my little cottage. So I’m on painted sub floors. A friend suggested that since the rooms I needed to do were so small maybe someone had leftovers or salvage. They don’t need to be all the same flooring.

My living room/kitchen area needs 346 square feet.

My bedroom needs 200 square feet

My studio loft needs 240 square feet.

So if you hav want carpet, wood or laminate flooring you will not likely be using and it will work for any of these space I’d be grateful for your consideration.
