North County Recreation District Community Update

Submitted By: info@ncrdnehalem.org – Click to email about this post
North County Recreation District had several community members present at the Board Meeting Thursday evening to inquire about our Executive Director’s sudden departure over the holidays. Prior to the meeting, there was a flurry of postings on social media with a lot of speculation on the subject.

Policies and procedures must be strictly followed when dealing with personnel issues. We work closely with Special Districts Association of Oregon to ensure that personnel issues are handled with the utmost care and professionalism.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. However, opinions formed with limited access to all the facts are uninformed opinions. Therefore, many of the posts were completely inaccurate.

Please be patient as we move forward. NCRD will remain transparent while also following all the required protocols to maintain confidentiality and privacy.

Free Sofa

Free “Slobproof” brand mid-size sofa. 75Wx35Dx34H

Still in pretty good shape from a comfort perspective. There is a hole in the cushion and it needs some TLC (cleaning, scuff marks covered, etc.) Sofa has been well loved by humans and dogs and just doesn’t have a spot in our new home.

Needs to be picked up in Arch Cape – we should be able to help with loading. Please email: alyleibow@gmail.com

Volunteer STEAM Coach Training

Submitted By: Rachel@tbnep.org – Click to email about this post
Support experiential STEAM education opportunities for Tillamook County students by becoming a volunteer STEAM Coach!

This Volunteer STEAM Coach Training is for new and returning STEAM Coaches who want to volunteer for spring and summer programs. Register for the training here: www.eventbrite.com/e/steam-coach-volunteer-training-tickets-512274465717

Across the county, a partnership of 20 local organizations works together to provide a variety of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, mathematics) programs to Tillamook County K-12 students. Together this partnership offers students numerous experiential education programs including environmental science field trips, farm-to-table school gardens, science fairs, cultural programming, research projects, professional development, and more. Each year, hundreds of students participate in these programs, which are made possible by volunteer STEAM Coaches.
In order to offer these community-enriching programs, the TC STEAM Partnership needs volunteer STEAM Coaches to fulfill a variety of roles. STEAM Coaches are people who believe all students should be able to learn about STEAM subjects through educational experiences that are hands-on and inquiry-based.

STEAM Coaches don’t need to be experts, they just need to be passionate about helping students learn! We look forward to seeing you at our next training!

This training will include an orientation session for new STEAM Coach Volunteers, a discussion group focused on past volunteer experiences for returning STEAM Coaches, a history tour of the USCG Boathouse, a catered lunch, and hands-on demonstrations of upcoming field trip activities.

For questions about this training or if you cannot attend but would like to learn about future opportunities, please contact Rachel@tbnep.org.

The TC STEAM Partnership organizations that are co-hosting this training and sharing volunteer information for upcoming programs include:
Tillamook School District #9
Friends of Netarts Bay Watershed, Estuary, Beach and Sea (WEBS)
Tillamook Estuaries Partnership
Juntos Afuera
Food Roots
Garibaldi Cultural Heritage Initiative
Heart of CARTM, and more partner organizations.

Washer

Submitted By: morgancmagras@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
Hi BBQ land!

Our family is on the hunt for a washer! Ours has decided it no longer wants to work. We have looked into repairing it, but unfortunately, it would be expensive, and the repairman wouldn’t be able to do it for 4-6 weeks.

Does anyone have a washer they are getting rid of/upgrading and want to sell? We don’t need anything fancy! I thought I would ask here first, as I’m not very keen on buying a new one right now.

I can be reached at 503-739-3181 or morgancmagras@icloud.com

’12 Angry Jurors’ opens June 2nd and will be directed by Frank Squillo who previously directed ‘Arsenic and Old Lace’ and last month’s ‘It’s A Wonderful Life: The Radio Play’.

Following the success of ‘Dracula: The Radio Play’ last October we are proud to announce the debut of ‘Frankenstein: The Radio Play’ just in time for the 2023 Halloween season, opening on October 20th.

And we’ll round out the year giving It’s a Wonderful Life’ a rest after 5 years with a full-stage production of the holiday classic ‘A Christmas Story’, opening December 4th.

We’re very excited that we already have a Major Award Leg Lamp, a Legendary Official Red Ryder 200-shot Range Model Air Rifle, and a can of Simoniz being offered to us by Scott Fisher for our holiday production. And we promise we won’t shoot our eye out!

Susan Weber sits on the Senate committee for Human Services and the Education Committee

So you can watch these committees with your computer for upcoming bills and discussions –

WATCH FOR ANY BILLS LABELED AN EMERGENCY – The first bill I checked was labeled an emergency – When bills are labeled an “Emergency” and they are not really an emergency, as you can gauge by reading – The purpose of putting an Emergency title on a bill is to make it very difficult for the citizens to recall the bill. This particular bill is about insurers offering dental plans outside of health insurance exchange, and a charge imposed on them. Is this really an EMERGENCY? Is this bill necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health and safety, an emergency is declared to exist, and this 2023 Act takes effect on its passage.
The word EMERGENCY attached to a bill is for REAL emergencies like floods, fires, extreme weather, pandemics, etc, and warfare. This bill is obviously not an emergency.
Also look for a sponsor the bill – This one has Rep Rob Nosse name on it. I e-mailed him and asked him not to title bills an EMERGENCY if they are not an emergency although I doubt he has anything to do with this. Here is another bill labeled an emergency in this committee. This one is sponsored by Rep Mannix.
It is for a study to be done to evaluate the needs and space for treating mental illness. There is no need to put an Emergency clause on this bill. It is a study. It does not need an emergency clause in it to pass or get accomplished – so why use the term EMERGENCY? So I am finishing this up but I am further checking bills to see how many are EMERGENCIES -Do they want us to think that we are living in a perpetual state of EMERGENCY?
I am beginning to think so.
Actually you should contact Gov. Tina Kotek – and tell her that the previous governor started this practice of labeling many bills “EMERGENCY” when they are not emergencies, and as she was labeled the most disliked governor in the United states twice!, It is not advisable for Gov. Kotek to emulate her.
