Do you have something that needs to go from here to there, and would be easy if you had a friend with a truck? I have a truck, a very flexible schedule, and a ‘Tis the season feel, so get ahold of me if you need something moved
I’m a one-person crew, so can’t do anything too epic without help. But I can definitely offer free transport in the tri-village area for simple jobs through the holiday season.

Kathryn Claire – Winter Songs

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: kathrynclairearts@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Kathryn Claire’s Winter Songs
Dec. 15th | 5pm (doors at 4:30)
White Clover Grange | Nehalem, OR
Ticket Info: lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/f7u92gq

Winter Songs – Seasonal music to celebrate the darkest nights

ABOUT THE SHOW & MUSICIANS:
Winter Songs is a show inspired by the season with music to honor the shortest days and longest nights. Weaving together songs, instrumentals, traditional and original music and a few covers, Kathryn Claire invites the audience to join together in celebration of the season. Kathryn Claire has been doing a seasonal winter show since 2013 working with a variety of artists. In 2018, Don Henson joined her for Winter Songs on piano and percussion before incorporating Sid Ditson on violin and viola in 2019. The blend of this trio is stunning and their energy together is joyful and heartfelt. Having taken the past two years off due to the pandemic, Kathryn, Sid and Don reunited last year and released an EP featuring music Kathryn wrote specifically for the show along with a single “Dark of December”. This trio is thrilled to be returning to the White Clover Grange for this special seasonal show. This is a family friendly event so bring the family!

With her violin and voice at the center of her music, Kathryn Claire weaves together stories and melodies rooted in her classical and traditional musical background while infusing each song and composition with an energy and electricity that is palpable. Her musicality and joy on stage is infectious. Honest and poetic writing, crystalline vocals, impassioned violin compositions, and an ability to move seamlessly across genres, are the hallmark of Kathryn Claire’s original and diverse sound.

Don Henson has toured extensively with Kathryn Claire in the Pacific Northwest and played with her “Winter Songs” show since 2018. Don works frequently with Will West and Skip Vonkuske in Portland, OR. His band, ‘Sneakin Out’ has played various stages with Pink Martini, on The Tonight Show (With Jay Leno) and had the honor of playing Carnegie Hall.

Sid Ditson has toured with Kathryn in Belgium and the Netherlands and has been an integral part of Kathryn’s music over the past decade. Sid has been playing violin since childhood. He loves to explore the sometimes irreverent blend of fiddle and violin styles, and brings to the stage and studio a versatility with the instrument that is truly unique. Classical, indie, bluegrass, Celtic and improv are all a part of Sid’s palette, along with an exquisite tone and depth of expression. Sid is often caught grinning while playing, finding it impossible to hide the immense joy that music brings.

Club Manzanita Shell Game

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: rkinor@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
The Budgetary sleight of hand that this Council continues to use to pay for their new City Hall with our Water Fund money is worthy of renewed discussion in light of recent increases in water rates. The City’s explanation the past several years for the need to raise rates was that revenues were not keeping up with expenditures. This begs the question as to how this could be happening.

In FY 2019 – 2020, the Council made a direct transfer of $113,675 from the Water Operating Fund to the City Hall Expansion Fund with no explanation of why this was justified. The following Budget year, the same amount was included again in the Budget to be transferred to the City Hall Expansion Fund. John Kunkel, an experienced City Manager who was serving as our interim at the time and had inherited that year’s Budget, advised the Council that he would not be making that transfer as there was no justification for it. Club Members privately fumed but could not publicly dispute Mr. Kunkel’s decision.
In FY 2020 – 2021, the City cut timber from the Alder Creek watershed and received $500,000 in timber sales. This was the first timber cut since 1995 when all of that initial sale went to construct the blue water reservoir to avoid having to ask citizens for a Bond to finance its construction.

You would think that some portion of this $500,000 sale from watershed property would again find its way into the water construction fund to help pay for the millions of dollars of needed water system improvements. Unfortunately, all $500,000 was put into the City Hall Expansion Fund and has been spent to pay City Hall consultants and the loan to pay for the Underhill property.

In the past four years, $675,000 of your monthly water bill payments have been pulled out of the Water Fund and sent to the General Fund where once transferred can now be used for whatever use the Council wants. This year the Council, needing cash to continue to pay its City Hall consultants and demolition costs, sent $700,000 from the General Fund to the City Hall Expansion Fund.

The City has no internal accounting controls to explain how these Water Fund overhead allocation transfers are spent once they arrive at City Hall. It is not possible to give an exact amount as to how much of your new monthly water bill is now being diverted to build City Hall but there’s no disputing the fact that it is.

For the past two years the City has collected approximately $1 Million dollars each year from water customers that the City Charter says shall only be used for the costs of operation and maintenance of the City water supply system. During this time, not a single dollar of your monthly water charge has been set aside in reserve for future water system improvements.

Not much of a mystery as to why revenues to both operate and make needed water system improvements are not keeping up with expenditures when you shuffle hundreds of thousands of dollars each year out of the Water Fund with unknown amounts then ending up in the City Hall Expansion Fund.

Citizens have to work hard just to follow all the moving pieces in this slick hustle and like any successful shell game, the operator always has the advantage.

This shell game with the Water Fund, while not formally listed with other recently unveiled options, is the most successful revenue diversification program that the City has come up with. Questions that were raised about this deception have gone unanswered and the construction of the most expensive City Hall project in State history for a City of our size moves ahead.

Humorist Jean Shepherd’s memoir of growing up in the Midwest in the late 1930s follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun under the tree for Christmas.
