Dear Community Members,

I am writing to express my support for the NCRD and its upcoming five-year levy, which will be on this November’s ballot. I have witnessed the invaluable contributions the NCRD has made to our region, and believe renewing this levy is essential to ensuring the continued success and growth of our community.

NCRD plays a pivotal role in enhancing the quality of life for residents of our region. Through its numerous programs and facilities, NCRD promotes physical fitness, mental well-being, and social connections among individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Their commitment to fostering a healthy and vibrant community is unwavering, and it is evident in the positive impact they have had on generations of students.

NCRD does incredible work when creating and coordinating student programming. From after school activities, swimming for students at Nehalem Elementary, and hosting summer opportunities like the Missoula Children’s Theatre, NCRD works well with community partners to provide amazing experiences for Neah-Kah-Nie students. These programs not only keep our youth engaged and active but also provide them with opportunities to learn important life skills and values.

I urge you to join me in supporting the NCRD levy renewal in this November’s election. By voting in favor of this levy, we can ensure that NCRD continues to provide the vital services and programs that make our community a better place to live, work, and play.

Sincerely,

Dr. Tyler Reed
Superintendent of Neahkahnie School District

Dear Fellow North County Residents,

Vote Yes for NCRD. The question is, what is YES ?

YES is Daycare for children, after school care for kids of working parents and summer camps and activities for all our youth. NCRD also rents space to a preschool.

Yes is the owner, manager and caretaker for the Rex Champ Ball Field next to the Manzanita Light house.

Yes is the owner, manager and Caretaker for our Pickle Ball Courts.

YES is the Performing Arts Center for North County. With tremendous community support, an old school auditorium that was used for storage was turned into a first class performing arts center that brings music and talent to our community. It also gives local talent a wonderful stage on which to perform.

Yes is a Fitness center which offers:
Classes such as Spinning, Pilates, Tone and Sculpt, Functional Fitness for Seniors, Tai Chi, Stretch and Balance, Cuban Salsa, 8 different types of Yoga classes and much more. A strength training room, a cardio room and a stretch room.

Yes is the Aquatics Center which offers recreation and open swim, an American Red Cross certified learn-to-swim school program, lap swimming, aqua aerobics, water walking and more.

Yes is Activities for Adults such as Fiber Arts Group, Book Club, Artists Group, Field trips, outings and events.

Yes is scholarships available for any and all programs for those needing financial assistance.

Yes is the support NCRD gives all of North County by providing space for activities such as Flu/COVID immunization clinics, private functions such as the MuddNick Dinner and is available to all for rent, if a larger space is needed.

YES will not–will NOT–increase taxes. The tax rate remains the same. It is exactly what it was 5 years, 10 years and 15 years ago.

Yes is NOT for the new pool. The funding for the Pool is completely separate from funds raised by this Vote.

Yes is for all the above programs and operational costs.

Vote YES for the NCRD 5-year Tax Levy, our community can not afford to lose current programs and classes at NCRD.

Respectfully submitted,

Dianne R Bloom
Nehalem Resident

With World Sight Day approaching (Oct. 12) I would like to bring to your attention an organization I support called HCP Cureblindness. It’s a charitable organization that is working to cure avoidable blindness by providing free sight-restoring surgeries in some of the most remote and under-served regions, and training in-country doctors to do the same.

In their almost 30 years of operations, HCP and their partners have provided an amazing 1.4 million sight-restoring surgeries to people in need, trained almost 20,000 eye care professionals in low- and middle-income countries, and have established 5 eye hospitals–and they are poised to do so much more in the years ahead.

I can’t think of a more magical gift to give someone than to restore their sight.

Please visit HCP’s website (www.cureblindness.org) to see for yourself the difference they’re making in the world. And think about how exciting it would be to be part of the solution by getting involved yourself.
