Breast Health Sunday Sauna Series… Did you know?

Submitted By: wingsforwisdom@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Did you know? Consuming sprouted nuts (especially walnut and almonds) reduces the chances of breast cancer development or recurrence! Consuming nuts beginning in early life increases these benefits (get our young ones eating them!) but now is always the best time to add them in if you’re not eating them already. A handful or two a day is all you need and they have myriad other benefits we can chat about. Get my method for easily sprouting nuts at home (or where to buy them) when you attend any or all of the upcoming Breast Health Sunday Sauna Series.

Statistics say approximately 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Did you know? you can make lifestyle adjustments to decrease that likelihood! I learned how to empower myself against recurrence. Let me share these techniques with you so you don’t have to 🙂
Living a cancer preventive life feels soooo good! Reserve your space today!

First Sauna session is Sunday Feb. 25th
11:00 – 1:30
Receive skin brush mitts to keep and a full-body brushing method great for lymph and circulation flow as well as creating glowing skin.
Apply a kelp clay breast and face mask.
Enjoy the sauna with cold-plunge option for an hour.
Receive a Breast Friend oil blend with instructions for regular application.
Breast friendly herbal tea and light refreshment.

Victrola records, 100 years old, and can be played on the Victrola offered by an other party

Submitted By: sabots.trailer_0j@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
1 lot of approximately 50-70 antique records (Victrola, Edison, RCA and others) in excellent shape, had been properly stored in my 1915 Edison phonograph which has been sold. Most have paper sleeves. These records are all around 100 years old. Some marvelous music, such as Edison Blue Amberol Record #3278 “Molly Dear” Waltz .
You may have noted a recent ad, by another party, advertising a rare Victrola record player with the proper needle to play these 100 year old records. Plus, it’s been rebuilt. This is a perfect possible combination of these records and that antique Victrola record player. Great for a beach residence, and a nice bargain price investment in history. $100.00 or offer. Please reply to this email, and, as always, thanks bbq!

ISO use brick or flagstones

Submitted By: Artwithmisskaren@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I’m getting ready to put in a new garden around my house. So I’m starting to gather hardscape materials for a whimsical garden path to the front door and also to the art studio.

I’m looking for any old Flagstones, Brick or interesting rocks you may have laying around and are interested in parting with. I have some money but not a lot. Interested in hearing about what you may have.

Free – Brother HL-5240 laser printer

Submitted By: clean_streams_oceans@me.com – Click to email about this post
I have a laser printer that I can no longer use because after the latest OS update on my Mac I can no longer get a print driver for it.

If you’re not working on OS Sonoma, and want to give it a try, let me know and I’ll put the two of you together. I’d rather give it to you than retire it to solid waste. But please, no give-backs!!

I suggest you first look to be sure you can get a driver for it. Also, I don’t know how much toner is left, but its cartridges are still available.

Now All Oregon Supreme Court Judges picked by Governor Kate Brown

Submitted By: dixiegainer@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Every Judge on the Oregon Supreme Court was put there by Kate Brown. How did that happen? Kate Brown was the most disliked governor for two years in a row. Yet she managed to place every judge on our supreme court!!!!!

Our state constitution says that the citizens of Oregon get to vote for Supreme Court Judges. But we haven’t done this in years.

WHY – Because of corruption. As much for the judges as the governor.

Here is how it works: In Oregon, when a Justice steps down from the bench before his or her term is up for whatever reason, the governor – by law – gets to fill that position until the next election. Now any judge that the governor picks to fill this position has to agree to step down before his or her term is up so that the governor can pick another judge. That shows the governor and the judge are in collusion. Not good for judge nor governor – right? But worse for us.

At election time the name of the judge the governor picked appears on the ballot. No other name appears on the ballot for this position and so this candidate, picked by the governor, will win even if nobody votes for him or her. This has been going on for years.
That means that these judges decide issues politically instead of judiciously.
How does this effect you?

How our property tax system works

Submitted By: dmccalltillamook@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
As mentioned in a previous post, a post including the fear of being taxed out of one’s home prompted me to reach out to the two candidates (thus far) for Tillamook County Assessor, and request a short summary of how our property tax system works, and how tax increases occur.
I reached out to both candidates, requesting a short summary (so that both would fit within the constraints of BBQ).

The first response came from Kari Fleisher, who submitted the summary you will see below. She also stated that she welcomes any further questions to: kari@karifleisher.com and my website at www.karifleisher.com. Also, you can always direct traffic to the Assessment and Taxation website at www.tillamookcounty.gov/assessment

Unfortunately the second candidate, KaSandra Larson, was not able to provide a summary due to “personal and family obligations to attend to this week.” She said she will, however, explore a future article on the property tax system.

So, with that said, here is Kari’s summary:
As a candidate for Tillamook County Assessor, Kari Fleisher aims to ensure that Tillamook County taxpayers are informed about the property tax laws that bind us all. In Oregon, property taxes provide funding for school districts, Tillamook County, cities, and special districts, including fire, ports, transportation, and sanitation. These government organizations offer services to the local community. Property taxes are ad valorem, aka based on value. Taxpayers pay taxes based on the assessed value of their individual properties.
Oregon voters passed two significant laws that limited the amount of property taxes collected
from taxpayers and the amount of money taxing districts can receive. First, Measure 5 limited
the total property taxes paid by an individual property to 1.5% of its Real Market Value. The
second was Measure 50, which created a new term called Maximum Assessed Value. The Maximum Assessed Value typically grows 3% per year and is not tied to Real Market Value once set. The lower of the two annually becomes the Assessed Value. An individual property can see increases in their Maximum Assessed Value above 3% due to changes to their property like new construction, remodeling, rehabilitation, subdivision, and more. One downfall of Measure 50 is that Assessed Values are no longer equitable to like property. Only Real Market Value can be used for comparison/equity purposes.
All properties are assessed per Oregon Revised Statutes that allow using cost, market, and
income approaches to value. In Tillamook County, we use a computer-assisted mass appraisal
system to input various property information to calculate a value. We annually adjust our
valuations based on market research. Programs like personal business property and industrial
property require using directly reported costs from taxpayers.
Taxing districts had a permanent tax rate set when Measure 50 was passed. The only way to ask for more money is for a 5-year operating levy or a bond limited to capital improvements. Both require voter approval. Once passed by the voters, this will increase the tax rate and taxes for all property owners within the district.

Cozy Up With a Mystical Romance Read

February @ Buttercup Homemade Ice Creams & Chowders

Submitted By: juliebuttercup22@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
We’re planning some special events this month. We learned alot from our last event so thanks for your support and patience while we figure out the logistics! More details to come…

We’ve decided to stick with only 3 days open this month, especially since we’re planning on doing these special dinners so that means we’ll be open Friday, Saturday, 11:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. and Sunday, 11:30 a.m. – 4 p.m.

We also were only open for 2 weeks in January due to a Covid situation as well as that horrible ice storm so we’ve decided to keep the chowders for February. We’re changing a few ice creams out to honor Valentine’s Day, a birthday girl’s special ice cream and a collaboration w/Oregon Seaweed and Winter Waters PNW. Here they are as well as the rest from January menu:

ICE CREAMS

Pink Velvet…red berries, cream cheese, marshmallow cream, yummy on poppyseed cone

Burnt Chocolate on salted almond cone

Marshmallow on chocolate-dipped graham cracker cone

Gjetost on brown butter cone…this is for my long-time friend Diane who introduced me to this Norwegian dessert cheese and convinced me to make an ice cream out of it to great success! Happy Birthday Diane!!!

Sweet Potato Dulce on rice flour cone…this is the collaboration, a weird yet interesting flavor w/ube (purple sweet potatoes), custard and fresh dulce

Coconut Caramel (vegan) on vanilla vegan-gluten-free cone

Orange Creamsicle Sorbet (vegan) on vanilla vegan-gluten-free cone

We also have frozen Banana Pops w/chocolate and peanuts as well as Tiramisu Semifreddo in our ice cream case plus ice cream sands and choco-tacos in our grab n go (as long as they last!)

CHOWDERS (same as January)

NW Clam
Thai Red or Green Curry
Cajun Chicken & Andouille Sausage
South Indian

We make a dynamite organic green salad w/goat cheese, toasted hazelnuts and pear vinaigrette

We make all our own drinks so check them out!!!

We’ll have more info about next dinner soon. Mark your calendar for February 8th! Our whole building is getting into the game too so we’re super excited about it!

Oregon Supreme Court upholds Measure 113

Submitted By: genedieken@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
This measure now disqualifies our Oregon State Senator Suzanne Weber of Tillamook (along with nine other Republicans) from running for election again.

As a reminder, Constitutional Meas. 113 passed by 68.32% so there really can’t be any chirping about a partisan conspiracy of the left (or any other group). By any definition of democracy, it’s the will of the people.

It’s shocking the kind of obeisance the modern GOP commands in its bonkers attempt to implement authoritarian rule at all levels.
