On Saturday, April 8 at 3:30, Liz Cole, Mark Beach and Carl Vandervoort will take the stage of the NCRD Performing Arts Center to present their video encapsulating the memoirs of Mary Gerritse. Mary was the daughter of a Nehalem Valley homesteader and wife of a Nehalem Valley homesteader making her a homesteader in her own right. Mary carried the mail along the North Oregon Coast for years. Her adventures make for a stirring story brought to life by Liz’ reading. This is a Don’t Miss show. NVHS is the sponsor and is asking $10 at the door.

Re-elect Marc Johnson!

Submitted By: abarker62@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I urge all my neighbors in North Tillamook County to vote in the May 16 election and re-elect Marc C. Johnson to his position on the Nehalem Bay Health District.

One of my first memories of Marc was seeing him out in the streets of Manzanita wearing a fluorescent vest on October 14, 2016, assisting residents and first responders in the immediate aftermath of the devastating tornado that hit that morning. He jumped into his role on the Manzanita Community Emergency Response Team without hesitation, and he has been a strong supporter of the Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay for years.

Not only is Marc a dedicated public servant, but he is also a smart leader who knows how to bring together people, resources, and organizations for the greater good of our community. I am a volunteer with the Hoffman Center for the Arts, where Marc served on the Board for a number of years. At the same time, he was also President of the North Tillamook County Library Friends. He acted in a unique capacity as liaison between the two non-profits, leveraging their resources and common interests for mutual benefit.

He has shown these same skills in his position on the Nehalem Bay Health District, bringing together many players to create a funding strategy to strengthen the Nehalem Valley Care Center in Wheeler. He helped to envision a plan that with both improve health care services for the region and provide housing for essential health care workers. His strategy included obtaining Federal dollars with the help of Senators Merkley and Wyden, as well as State funding with the help of Rep. Javadi and Sen. Weber.

We are lucky to have this man working for our community! Please join me in supporting Marc in the May 16 election.

Why ME for NCRD

Submitted By: Constance@Nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
Please view my video….
share.icloud.com/photos/0f1d-TBItrgOM5oC64_vVm_ag

Hello Community,
Now, having  watched my video, here’s a bit more about me. We moved to Nehalem in 2007. My past employment history is varied and includes being one of two Workers Comp Administrators for the largest Employer in Oregon. We were proud to be recognized for our efforts by receiving an award for creating and facilitating the best Return to Work program in the State, two years running. From that experience, I developed an eye for both safety and workability. I have been a Health & Life Insurance Agent for 23 years; we are also BnB hosts and have earned the distinction “Super Host’, every quarter since that program started. Certainly honing my skills of listening for what’s needed and wanted and delivering has aided to my successes.
You may know me as the current President of the Nehalem Bay Garden Club; past board member/President of Friends of NCRD; current board
member/Treasurer of the White Clover Grange; Outreach /Transportation chair of Rainy Day Villages or maybe we met at the Gun safety rally and/or the Women’s March in Tillamook? Or, at the rally I co-ordinated for Women’s Right’s in Nehalem? I reliably engage in our community and am proud of being actively being a ‘good’ kind of activist!
Since 2008 I have consistently demonstrated my committed that the NCRD be the best it can. I have asked the uncomfortable questions; consistently requested clarity when transparency wasn’t readily available; made suggestions; and reliably kept the community apprised of key board meetings.
We believe we have an obligation, as elected board members, to actively seek out and close any Gaps discovered which may keep the NCRD from being the best it can be. I am confident if elected and as one of two new faces and Mary Gallagher being re-elected to the board, we will have NCRD achieve excellence and be for all. I am very proud that around me, people and organizations excel!
Please send any questions to me at constanceforncrd@gmail.com. My name is Constance! and I am asking you to vote for me. Thank you.

ALEBRIJE SITTING DOG Carved By: Jesus Sosa Calvo

From by personal collection which started 35 years ago. This piece was purchased from Milagros in Seattle 30 years ago. Jesus produces some of the most whimsical and colorful carvings to be found! Interestingly, he actually did not start as a carver. He was an electrician when he became ill with typhoid fever. Being from the traditional carving village of San Martin Tilcajete, Oaxaca, he decided to try his hand at wood carving. One day he was at the doctors office, and started reading the medical journals. He became fascinated with the amoebas that he saw in one publication, and decided to use that as his signature pattern. The pattern takes on a look similar to jelly beans– bright, colorful and full of good cheer!

This dog is masterfully carved from one solid piece of copal wood. The tail and ears are detachable! Measures: 7” tall (highest tip of tail & snout) , 7″ wide (sitting paws to tip of tail) , 2”.75 deep. It is signed and numbered and in excellent condition. Colors are much more vibrant in person. His pieces sell from $120-$300. I am selling for $60.

Signed, Carved iguana reptile by Baltazar from Oaxaca. Beautifully carved and painting with detail from copal wood. From my 35 year collection. $20

A QUICK RESPONSE TO “ WINS FOR DEMOCRACY”

I’m no more a fan or supporter of president Trump than I am of President Biden. In my opinion we scraped the bottom of the political barrel and these two came up, which to me is a very sad reflection on the American people but after a long line of poor leaders, both democrat AND republicans, it’s what we should expect. If anyone thinks Biden and his family are less corrupt than Trump’s then they are deluding themselves. Creepy Joe has lied, plagiarized, and defrauded his way to the default position he now finds himself in and has abused women all along the way, just like Trump. The only positive historical note I can attach to Trumps time in office is that he did not start any new wars. Almost all previous presidents back to Eisenhower either started wars, military conflicts or rode at the head of the Military-Industrial-Intelligence-Complex to trumpet and continue bloody exploits. I’ll post again the article explaining why and how America has bled itself to the point where most of the world is watching this media circus and not thinking it is a good day for democracy. It is a distraction like a wrestling match in the mud and the media is blasting it out as a colossal battle of justice over corruption.

The ship of state has been allowed to run itself onto the rocks these past seventy years while everyone from second deck on down has been fighting about how to arrange the deck chairs and what music the bands should play. Instead of striving to be a nation that other nations look up to as wise and prudent, good stewards of our natural resources and making sure the people are fed, housed, healed and educated, we have squandered it on actions of empire building. Almost eight hundred U.S. military bases scattered around our world are not protecting anything but the business of war. Go ahead, cut yourself eight hundred times, small cuts, and a few big ones like Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Ukraine and see how long you stand.

MILITARY SPENDING, AGAIN

This is a slightly different take on our state of affairs. Regardless of ones opinion of his content, one can read this from a purely literary view and applaud James Howard Kunstler for the master wordsmith he is.

Manzanita Council Unanimously Endorses Health District Bond Measure

Submitted By: nehalemhealthcare@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Manzanita is the second north county community to formally endorse the May 16, 2023 health and senior care bond measure that has been advanced by the Nehalem Bay Health District.

The Manzanita City Council approved a resolution of support at its April 5 meeting. The Wheeler City Council approved a similar statement of support at its March meeting, and the Nehalem City Council is expected to consider formal support for the bond measure later this month.

The Manzanita resolution was introduced by Councilor Brad Mayerle, a retired dentist, who noted that the bond measure will lead to improvements in local health care. “I think it’s important that we recognize this bond measure. The city of Wheeler has already done so,” Mayerle said. “This measure checks a lot of boxes with respect to providing health care services and affordable housing for health care employees.”

The Manzanita resolution states, in part, “the City Council of the City of Manzanita do hereby endorse the Health District bond measure in the May 16, 2023 election and encourage residents to also support the measure and these critical local projects.”

The Health District’s plans for the new, state-of-the-art Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy that would be constructed in downtown Wheeler include provisions for dental care and other specialty services not now available in the community.

In addition, the bond measure will fund renovation and modernization of the region’s only skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility – the Nehalem Valley Care Center. The Care Center, also located in Wheeler, offers 24-hour nursing care to patients, as well as rehabilitation services.

In remarks to the Manzanita Council, Health District board president Marc C. Johnson said the Care Center will become even more important to the region in the future given the steady increase in the north coast’s elderly population. Johnson noted that two senior care facilities closed in Tillamook County in 2022 and that making upgrades to improve quality and safety for seniors, as well as improvements in the working conditions for care staff, would help ensure the facility serves the community into the future.

A third element of the bond measure would fund site preparation of Health District owned property as a necessary step to development of workforce housing for health care and essential workers.

The Yes For Local Health Care campaign has scheduled several town hall meetings before the election, including a “virtual town hall” on April 19 in order to provide information about the bond measure and what it would support.

Visit www.nehalemhealthcare.com for information about events and the growing number of residents who support the plan.

Remember to follow our Facebook page so you’re up to date on the bond measure and upcoming events.

The Truth about Donald Trump

Submitted By: babbles@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
This below is Michael Moore’s 4/5/23 message to his readers. Usually these messages come every week or two. Now we have had two very close together relating to the charges that Donald Trump faces. I am posting these on BBQ in hopes that some people who have not yet recognized him for the danger to democracy that he is, who have not yet recognized him for his criminal actions violating the American people for his criminal actions perpetrated over decades in behalf of his own private gain, that these people will now recognize all that he is and the evil that he represents.

Michael Moore is a brilliant writer and interviewer, always working for the democratic rights of ordinary Americans like all of us here in Tillamook County.

Subject: Dear Criminal Defendant #4913961R
Date: April 5, 2023 at 5:54:29 PM PDT
To: babbles@nehalemtel.net

Dear Criminal Defendant #4913961R:

Thank you for showing up without incident yesterday for your arrest and arraignment. You appeared somewhat bewildered as to why you were there. As this is only the first of a number of criminal charges and arraignments for you that will follow from other prosecutors, I think it’s only fair that I give you the lay of the land as to what’s ahead and why this is happening.

First — and I don’t know why no one has told you this — but your assessment is correct: We ARE out to get you and bring you to Justice. You tried to illegally overturn the election and overthrow the government. You were refusing to give up your seat in the Oval Office and decided to stage a coup. It’s that simple. And now the vast majority of the country wants a legal way to stop you from causing any further destruction. And truthfully, we don’t really care how we get there. As long as it’s honest and legal, we the people are going to throw whatever available book we have at you. Somebody should tell you this. I just did.

Have you read the 34 felony count indictment and its “Statement of Facts” against you? I have. Wow — I mean, it’s stunning in its brilliance and construction. It puts you in a real choke-hold and yet allows the prosecution even more room in the coming months to crush you even further. I’m thinking you must have some sense of this and your impending doom.

The prosecutor you’re up against, Alvin Bragg — the one you call “an animal” and “a criminal” — he’s been a prosecutor for nearly 20 years. He’s helped put hundreds of criminals like you away. I know, I know — he’s Black. Just like those five innocent teenagers in Central Park that you tried to get a jury to send to the electric chair. Just like the thousands of families you and your father refused to rent your apartments to for decades until the federal government stopped you. Yes, that kind of Black! Yes, karma does suck! Yes, that was your father in the KKK parade way back in the day. Now you’ve got three Black prosecutors — the Manhattan D.A., the New York State Attorney General and the Fulton County, GA, prosecutor — all coming after you. Revenge for sins against them and all who look like them? I hope so! But, seriously, Black America has never really made us truly pay for their suffering, either the cruelty meted out to their ancestors by our ancestors, or the hand they themselves have been dealt by a society that still seems comfortable with the average white family in 2023 having a net worth 8 times that of the average Black family.

No, Defendant #4913961R, these Black prosecutors, whom you hurl racist insults at — including the one where you, New York’s leading racist, called them “racists(!)” — they are serious professionals who are just doing the job the majority of voters sent them to do. One of those jobs is to send you finally to prison.

All 34 charges against you are felonies. You conspired with others to silence people who had information the voters might possibly like to know before they cast their vote. You only won because of the 77,000 votes you got in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. How many would have changed their minds if they knew certain things about you? Your hush money payments went to at least three individuals, all with the intent of keeping the public in the dark in order to throw the election your way. And to cover it up, you told your lawyer, Michael Cohen, to take out a “home equity loan” for himself to pay off these individuals so it wouldn’t look like you had anything to do with it! What an idiot!

So, Defendant #4913961R, do you now understand why this is happening to you? And why we don’t care whatever the reason is they’ll be sending you to Sing Sing soon?

You attempted to blow up our democracy.

You led a violent uprising in which people died.

You tried to overthrow a presidential election, an election that you brutally lost.

You are on tape privately bullying the Georgia Secretary of State to illegally stuff the ballot box with 11,780 votes for you that did not exist.

Then You got 147 Republican members in Congress to vote to steal the election for you! Is there a greater act of treason in a Democracy than the outright theft of an election and thus the overthrow of the elected government?

You hate this country and what it stands for.

And the vast majority of us know it. That’s why we tossed you to the curb in 2020 and then put you on a garbage barge to Florida. You are correct to assume we and the prosecutors we elect will charge you and arrest you for ANY legal reason we can find.

Last night, in your continuing crusade to incite violence, you and your son posted a photo of the Judge’s daughter online. It was your way of threatening him with violence. You know it will take only one of your psychopathic supporters to commit a heinous act. Do you have any idea what tens of millions of American parents would do to you if you did anything to threaten their child’s life?

You’re upset because you think we’re prosecuting you because of a porn star? HAHAHA!

Look, we’d arrest you for anything we legally could — littering, parking tickets, jaywalking, you name it.

Anything to stop you from staging another coup. Anything that would stop you from endangering the life of that Judge’s daughter. Anything we can legally do to stop you, we will. You remember Al Capone. They could never get him on the murderous crime organization he ran. So they got him for lying on his income taxes. Nobody cared. The public wanted him put away by any legal means necessary. We’re Al Caponing you, Don.

Your crime spree, which began in 1973, is coming to an end.

Deal with it. Pack a toothbrush.
