POSTED IN BEHALF OF ROBERT & SHARON BORGFORD:

We strongly support a “YES for NCRD” vote for renewal of the current five-year option tax for General Operations. This measure renews the current local option tax with no change in current taxation. We think the summary on the ballot describes it best:

“North County Recreation District will use the tax revenue from this measure to operate the district at its present level of service.
Property taxes pay for recreation and health program services in aquatics, fitness, youth, and activities for adults, and operating costs such as the existing swimming pool operation, utilities, general administration, and minor maintenance.
Major capital expenditures are paid using timber tax and other non-property tax sources of income. Savings for these major capital costs, which include a fund for a replacement swimming pool, do not come from property taxes.”

I have been privileged to serve on NCRD’s Budget Committee for a few years and have witnessed the fine stewardship of NCRD’s Administration and Board. Please consider going to www.ncrd.org/admin/documents and open the first entry, the 2023-24 Budget. As you page through it, it is apparent how many programs are supported for residents of all ages, including children and senior citizens. In doing so, NCRD has kept budget increases to a minimum.

NCRD belongs to our community. It’s ours, it belongs to all of us, and it has consistently demonstrated its value. Whether taking a fitness class, attending a play, viewing artwork on display, or swimming in the pool—and these are just some of the offerings— there are abundant opportunities to develop and enjoy a sense of community. If there happened to be a national competition for rural community recreation organizations, we think NCRD would come out the top.

We absolutely need to continue this operational support bond by voting “YES”. If it is not passed, it would have devastating consequences that would be hard to recoup. If you look at page 10 of the budget (please see link) the local option is $573,187.00. That’s 31% of the budget. Just imagine the loss of staff, programs, and support for so many parts of our community if it failed. NCRD is a vital hub of fundamental importance to the community. Please keep it intact by voting YES.

i am writing in agreement with gene dieken’s post on last night’s bbq, which i have copied and pasted below.
gene wonders whether “bbq policy might be rethought when it comes to election advocacy.”
my personal opinion is that NOTHING on bbq should be anonymous! over the years, when some particular post has interested me, but it was posted anonymously, i have written to the email address to ask “who are you?”
words are sometimes weighted more, have more value, … or, sometimes the opposite, depending on who wrote them.
so… to repeat, imho, i think NO ANONYMOUS POST should be allowed. and i respectfully ask the director/curator/manager of BBQ to effect that policy.

Submitted By: genedieken@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post Given the recent late-in-the-game statement of “transparency” by a frequent poster on BBQ who advocated a no-vote on renewing the NCRD levy by using only a pseudonymous email address as identification, I have to wonder if this BBQ policy might be rethought when it comes to election advocacy.
Also, and once again, on Nov. 4 our friendly Manzanita wine merchant, Dixiesvino@gmail.com, had to clarify that she is NOT the frequent very conservative poster, dixiegainer@gmail.com. I imagine over the years, this confusion has had some financial impact on the former.
Seems like a couple of small policy changes could create a more reliable service.

My antidote to stress is trying to understand what’s going on. So I really appreciate reporting and dialog that offers real understanding in a way that most people can grasp.

News reports appeal to our emotions. I guess that sells more commercials, but it really doesn’t help matters. So I was very impressed by a program on OPB this Sunday afternoon called Gzero World. Policy analyst Karim Sadjadpour explained the situation in the middle east so that anyone who seeks to understand it can.

A Genocide Tax – Ralph Nader Radio Hour Episode 504
Ralph welcomes Craig Mokhiber, who just resigned his post as the director in the New York Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights for the United Nations over the UN response to the bombing of Gaza. Nader proceeds to ask substantive questions about why Mokhibder resigned and hears that Israel is in violation of International Law via use of collective punishment and other crimes against humanity and that the United States is complicit in those crimes.
There is a short blurb at first and then moves quickly into the intensive interview conducted by Ralph, the man who should have been elected President a few decades ago.

POSTED IN BEHALF OF LINDA MAKOHON

Definitely I’m voting: “Yes for NCRD”

On November 7th the residents of Tillamook County will be asked for the 3rd time to renew the five year tax levy to support the daily operations for programs and services of North County Recreation District in Nehalem. This is not a new tax, but a continuation of what our community has supported for the past 15 years.

I have been involved with Friends of NCRD, which is the non-profit partner of NCRD, since I retired from teaching and moved here in 2010. I believe in the Friends’ mission which is to support and promote the programs and services of the North County Recreation District because I believe in its mission to provide health and well-being services to all ages in North Tillamook County. In particular, I am proud that Friends of NCRD has always had the priority to raise funds for scholarships so that everyone is included and has access to the programs and services at NCRD. This year alone we have given $15,000 in scholarship assistance, the bulk of which went for youth access to child care and youth sports.

I have seen NCRD go through many changes and growth in services while keeping steadfast maintenance of the aging elementary school building. I have seen NCRD continue to survive through the pandemic, providing day care for first responders’ children, keeping close contact with health services for the benefit of all, providing covid test kits and appropriate precautions when opening back up. While many businesses and organizations dissolved, NCRD stayed vital for the community. And now, fitness classes and youth sports offerings have increased resulting in increased patronage.
Here are some other great things you may not know about NCRD.

Did you know that NCRD is an official Red Cross emergency shelter site complete with cots and emergency power and supplies ready to accommodate the community in a major emergency? This is different from Warming centers that are available through local churches.

Did you know that NCRD has an agreement with Nehalem Bay Health Clinic (formerly Rinehart Clinic) for NCRD to provide physical exercise opportunities for their patients dealing with health-related issues.

Did you know that the “Learn to Swim” program offered at NCRD is certified by the Red Cross?

There are so many good things happening at NCRD that I’m definitely voting “Yes for NCRD”.

Linda Makohon
President, Friends of NCRD

A question has been raised as to the various emails I use. For transparency I use the following email addresses: Constanceforncrd@gmail.com; cpossibility1023@ gmail.com; Constance@nehalemtel.net
Regardless of the email I use, I am a stand the NCRD be the best it can be and the only way I see this can be achieved is if the Mission Statement is the context for every decision and action taken by the board and ED. If the NCRD continues to choose to be for some and not for ALL…then the NCRD needs to be a private club, period, and don’t ask for my tax dollars!

I will not willingly vote for tax dollars being used for the privileged, PERIOD.

VOTE NO FOR CHANGE.

And be sure, if you VOTE YES to continue the levy, you are voting FOR:

CONTINUED BIASES,,,
CONTINUED IGNORANCES,,,,
CONTINUED STATUS QUOUE,,,
CONTINUED DISCRIMINATION

If you are able to sleep knowing that is what you are voting for…. You’re idea of Community is a whole lot smaller than mine.

The mission statement of the North County Recreation District (NCRD). To promote the educational, recreational, social and physical well being of THE ENTIRE North Tillamook County community by offering activities FOR ALL AGES AND ABILITIES in an inviting environment.

VOTE NO! VOTE NO FOR ALL!

It’s much harder to prove monkey DNA is in some of the vaxxes than it is to study vax injuries. And at this point, there have been LOTS of studies of the various vax injuries, worldwide.

I think I know why there is so much denial about this; cause most of ya’ll shot the junk and are worried. Deep down you are honest enough to admit to yourself that vaccines have ALWAYS caused injuries.

Why would this rushed experimental mRNA-tech be any different?

Yes, vaccine injuries exist.

I know a local lady in her 40s who got myocarditis from the vax; her doctor told her it was from the vax. 40, and now she has serious heart issues and must go to the doctor twice a week or so. For the rest of her life??? She’s 40.

That is criminal. The vax-makers need to be sued and/or thrown in jail, as well as the public officials who pushed this junk onto us.

That’s why this case in Michigan that Dixie pointed out is so important. At best the billionaire tech bros. seriously messed up (hubris/arrogance/callousness) and killed and injured a lot of people.

And now those who have been injured by the vaxxes can sue; the legal precedent is being set.

This is the stuff Ralph Nader is made of. This is the stuff Erin Brokovich is made of.

If I was former (Democrat) Gov. Kate Brown and the OHA brass, I would be trembling in my shoes. This is the legal case that will finally – FINALLY – get Nuremburg 2.0 in the works.

Woot woot! JUSTICE FOR THE TYRANTS!!!!

In case you didn’t know, the Prep Act is a fascistic piece of legislation brought into our reality by anti-American mass-murdering war criminal, the former dumb-as-hell Yale cheerleader known as (Republican) Dubya.

“The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREPA), passed by the United States Congress and signed into law by President of the United States George W. Bush in December 2005 (as part of Pub. L.Tooltip Public Law (United States) 109–148 (text) (PDF)), is a controversial tort liability shield intended to protect vaccine manufacturers from financial risk in the event of a declared public health emergency. “

So all the CIA Operation Lockstep big tech bros. did was have their goons in the public health sector declare their lab-engineered coronavirus they sent tearing around the world as a ‘public health emergency’, as was war-gamed in the CIA-scripted Event 201.

It wasn’t a public health emergency. It isn’t a public health emergency.

SARS-CoV-2 is basically the flu, and that the experimental vax-makers who did this scam are protected from liability is also a scam. The PREP Act should never have been invoked, end of story. More lawsuits will come in from that angle.

Oh (Democrat) Gov. Brown, tremble tremble…

Oh Rinehart Clinic, tremble tremble…

The lab-engineered coronavirus that is circulating among us (by design) is no more an emergency than the yearly influenza infections. (Where did the flu go anyway?)

And for that ya’ll did WHAT? AND screwed up our children so badly with the anti-science lockdowns and anti-science school closures. Zoom (Google) loved $crewing over our children though!

Anyway, more myocarditis in Switzerland. I’m not even going to bother to see if Fact Checker or Snopes tried to cover the truth of this, because it seems to be very true, it’s a study that you and I can read. It’s interpreted by John Campbell who is doing amazing work helping humanity figure what happened to them. I’m guessing big-tech-funded Fact Checker and Snopes won’t even try to re-truth this study into one of their lies, it’s too solid:

I also don’t think this ‘elite’ professor should be allowed to teach anymore. (link below) And here we also have (Democrat) Cuomo who got tossed from office supposedly because he is an ass-grabber, but I’ve also heard he was asked to step down because he will be facing manslaughter charges for mandating old folks in care centers with covid be locked up, denied visits from their families, denied proper health care, were then shot up with drugs to ‘help’ with ‘covid’ and lots and lots of them just died.

That’s called homicide, the legal charge is ‘manslaughter’.

When your sick, you wanna be as happy and healthy as possible. You wanna go outside, get some fresh air. You wanna be with your family. That stuff will help you get better, and it should have happened. Nobody has the right to make you stay inside. If they think they do, toss ‘em in jail and get them out of public office.

Locking old folks up in homes when they are sick and pumping them full of drugs killed them, and (Democrat) Cuomo knows it, and he will pay. The World Economic Forum-goon to the north, (Democrat) Jay Inslee, killed old folks in care centers in Washington in the same way.

So no, I don’t forgive them for what they didn’t know. Below (link) we have an ‘elite’ professor and a governor who are now pleading “WE DIDN’T KNOW”.

Oh yeah? Well I know a sh*t-ton of plumbers, farmers, garbage men, auto mechanics, baristas, and store owners WHO DID KNOW.

Screw you ‘smart’ moronic arrogant pathetic men.

Screw the officials, throw them in jail. Fire that professor. This ‘elite’ professor is stupider than my garbage man. This governor is also stupider than my garbage man.

Below is a great example of how these arrogant morons screwed us over. The ‘elite’ professor apologies for being a nazi school-shutdown anti-science moron. (Democrat) Cuomo shows his utter incompetence, his lies can be found in the full show/interview. These men are liars and should be in jail, especially Cuomo:
