Yesterday I found an article in the paper that showed some art that I had created. Today they are having an event at TBCC and the artists are invited. I really want to go.

This event is a 22 minute drive from my home. I don’t drive. For about $15 each way I could call Dial-A-Ride and they could take me. But, they don’t travel on the weekend. And, even if this was a weekday I would have had to make the reservation 48 hours in advance.

But, like I said, I really want to go. I live up Miami Foley. There is no bus that travels along Miami Foley. Luckily, my housemate is going to the same location as the event and I arranged to get a ride to TBCC with them. Unfortunately, they will be going five hours ahead of the event. I will take my Kindle and a book and wait in the lobby until the event begins at 2pm. I’ll use some time to write this letter.

My ride in will be leaving at 2pm just as the event is beginning, so I will have to find another way home. I can conveniently catch the bus just outside of TBCC about 15 minutes after the event ends at 4pm. That bus will take me a mile down the road to the bus station near the court house. I will then wait over an hour for a bus to take me north. It will pass the intersection of the 101 and Miami Foley by a couple of miles.

Another housemate will drive ten miles to pick me up in Garibaldi at 6:17pm and I should be home by 6:30. I left at 9am.

Nine and a half hours to attend a two hour event 22 minutes away from my front door. This is the reality of public transportation in Tillamook County. This keeps people isolated and doing only what must be done.

Determined board members can help create solutions that will allow people like me to simply decide to go to an event one day and go. With a regular bus on Miami Foley that intersects at the 101 in a timely manner I could have been to the event in an hour. I would still be taking 3 buses, but the entire outing would only take me 4 hours instead of 9 and a half. More importantly, I could do it on my own and not have to ask favors. Having to ask for help often keeps me home.

I feel deeply that Mary Leverette is the one candidate for Tillamook County Transportation District that has the determination, experience, and the time to develop solutions that will create access to any and all in need of public transportation throughout the county. It’s very important that board members have time to do more than just show up at meetings.

I selfishly urge you to vote for Mary Leverette for Tillamook County Transportation Board in the upcoming election. There are a lot of places I would like to go, and all of you can help get me there.

Sincerely,

Danielle Clark

A candidate for NCRD position #2, Erin Laskey-Wilson represents the spirit of our North County community and North County Recreation District. Erin grew up in this community, attended Nehalem Elementary School, and learned to swim in the pool at NCRD. After attending U of O, she returned to North County and is raising her three children, the family’s 4th generation in North County, in Nehalem. Erin believes, “It’s important for people who know the history and traditions of our area to serve on the Board.”
Erin is not new to positions of leadership. She served on the New Discovery Preschool Board for six years as a coordinator, fund raiser and enrollment recruiter. She’s active at the White Clover Grange where she helped organize a home-school program during Covid. She’s currently the Chairperson of the “Manzanita 4th of July Parade” Committee. THANK YOU, ERIN!
Erin and her husband are Fitness Center members and long time supporters of the New Pool Project. Their children attended, the youngest currently enrolled in, New Discovery Preschool at NCRD. The boys, now at Nehalem Elementary School, participate in NCRD’s “Learn to Swim” program. Erin understands the interests and needs of working families and local business owners. She’s a licensed real estate broker and has had experience working with her mom, owner of Handy Creek Bakery in Wheeler. Among Erin’s goals as an NCRD Board member are strengthening NCRD’s youth and sports programs and serving the interests of all North County families.
Please join me in supporting Erin Laskey-Wilson for NCRD Board position #2. She knows our community; the values and traditions of our community are ingrained in her. She’s a proven leader in honoring and continuing what makes North County strong and vibrant.
Thank you,
Gail Young

Reading Candace’s BBQ post about her run for an NCRD position, it seems to me she violated election law. Offering arcade tokens for votes??
Here is one of the statutes that may apply:
260.665 Undue influence to affect registration, voting, candidacy, signing petitions; solicitation of money or other benefits
Since NCRD didn’t allow me to participate in any of their offerings because I didn’t put Pfizer’s or Mode RNA’s or Astrozenica’s or J and J’s new, experimental mRNA-technology into my body, I have zero interest in the NCRD election. I will never participate in an NCRD event again.
I also have zero interest in any of the local Health Center stuff. The Rinehart Clinic, which I had been going to on and off for years, would only see me in the parking lot, again because I didn’t shoot up said Big Tech junk. I said ‘no thanks’ and drove to Portland to see my naturopath. I will never go to the Rinehart Clinic (or it’s successor) again. I will drive to Portland and see my naturopath.
I understand that this NCRD race isn’t the U.S. Senate, and likely both candidates are more or less the same, and they are both likely very nice. But after watching Carl Rove steal the election for Bush/Cheney twice, and then watching Biden steal it last time around, my concerns are with election-integrity.
Anyway, someone should call Erin Laskey-Wilson and tell her she won. Unless there are additional candidates? Like I said I don’t really care.

Dutch Farmer’s have found themselves on the front lines fighting the World Economic Forum’s/World Bank’s planned insect-eating you-will-own-nothing dystopian future.

I interviewed Vandana when she was doing a short residency at U of O.

Cool lady.

She’s big in ag in India. Here she is talking about Dutch Farmers with Russel Brand:

I didn’t receive any takers for a debate on NATO’s war with Russia.

For those of you who contacted me hoping for a debate, here are some points I would have made.

(These are my views, from my research. I encourage you to do your own research. Although most seem unaware, the war machine is in full swing, and it will be hard to nail down the truth.)

Russia was baited into Ukraine by NATO. And the moment that happened, Dwight Eisenhower’s Military-Industrial-Complex won. The war is the victory.

Ukraine will not win this war, nor did NATO countries ever expect Ukraine to win. Again, the war is the victory. Most of Ukraine has already been turned to rubble, and it will continue to be turned to rubble and folks will keep dying until a negotiation is reached.

There have been several peace agreements on the table. Boris Johnson killed one on behalf of NATO and the Biden Admin and other NATO reps killed others. Russia is rightfully demanding Ukraine not join NATO, that is the one thing driving all of this for Russia. For Russia, it’s us and NATO breaking our agreements (like we did with the Native Americans) and encroaching on their territory and threatening them existentially. They are correct, that is exactly what are war-making country and the NATO countries are doing.

The missiles NATO/Biden put into Poland can be refitted in 8 hours, they then can reach Moscow in 7-minutes. I would absolutely call that an existential threat from Biden and NATO. Would we accept Russia deploying missiles in Canada or Mexico that could hit D.C. in 7-minutes? Absolutely not.

The above is only one of many example of many examples of the United States and NATO violating the terms of their agreement with Russia, encroaching on Russian territory, and threatening them existentially.

Though the reason the Saturday sign people should be along HWY 101 protesting this horrific U.S.-led war should be on humanitarian grounds, that it is simply wrong of us to be funding the mass-murder of Russians and Ukrainians, here are some economic reasons to protest:

Biden has spend 100-billion dollars on the war.

With the upcoming elections on folks’ minds, how about this: Biden has spent 100-billion on the war so far (billions more for ‘reconstruction’ will follow), that equals $200,000,000 for each Congressional district in the entire Untied States of America. (there are 400+ districts).

Seriously, when we need money for schools, rec centers, roads, emergency services, health centers, why did we just spend 100-billion dollars murdering Russians and Ukrainians instead?

This is a more violent war than Iraq, it is more dangerous as Russia has tons of nukes (nukes they do not want to use, but if we keep it up, they might.), and has already cost 25 times more than the Vietnam war. This is a proxy war that is about to lose its proxy status. That mean World War Three.

300,000 Ukrainians have died, 80,000 Russians. For the number of maimed for life, displaced, orphaned, simply multiply those numbers by (war).

I could go on and on and on about the geopolitics of this, of the history, of where the war-monger elite are planning to take the conflict. There is so much here with respect to the history and context of America’s latest war, it could be a semester-long college class.

Instead of going on and on (a debate would have been nice but now I’ve showed too much of my hand), here is a link to an outstanding film by Oliver Stone, “Ukraine On Fire.” It’s banned on Democrat-run YouTube, so you gotta find it elsewhere, and this should work:

rumble.com/vwxxi8-ukraine-on-fire.html

And if you missed this treasonous chess move from Biden, here is info on Nordstream. For those who don’t know, Sy Hersh was key in stopping the Vietnam War with his Mi Lai massacre reporting. He is the most revered and famous American journalist ever.

I’ll look for the Saturday sign people.

It would be great to see some anti-war protesters around here.
