Each council member has one vote on any issue that comes before them. A majority vote is necessary to pass legislation.
I’m asking you to give me a seat at the City Council team table by voting for me in November.
By now we all know many of the issues that are facing Manzanita and its citizens. The question you need to ask when you receive your ballot is “Who will make the team better and be able to help that team move forward?”
I have attended virtually all City Council meetings over the last 3 years, as well as the Short Term Rental Workgroup and Planning Commission meetings. Check the box for “who knows the background of the issues?”
I am a former Vice President and President of a local union and I know how the Manzanita City Council functions. Check the box for “who understands how government entities work and function?”
I have a long history of volunteering with local organizations like: the Manzanita Friends of the Library, the Hoffman Center’s Wonder Garden, Tillamook Master Gardeners, Tillamook Pioneer Museum, and regional entities like the Emergency Volunteer Corp of Nehalem Bay (EVCNB). Check two boxes for “who has already been working well with others locally to achieve good outcomes?” and “who has a shown a genuine concern for his neighbors and community for many years?”
I will bring a fresh viewpoint to Council, but one informed by actual knowledge of recent, and not-so-recent legislative discussions. I’m a team player, though I haven’t always agreed with decisions made by our Council. That is the nature of government. But I am looking forward to playing my part in finding the best solutions for all of us.
Most of the candidates running for a city council seat in November understand the issues–we’ve all talked about Short Term Rentals, the Comprehensive Plan, Livability and Workforce housing, and a new city facility. I’m asking you to choose a candidate who genuinely has organization and consensus-building skills, has lived here full-time long enough to understand the history and nuances behind the issues, and the desire to do what’s right to help his fellow citizens.
I’m Mark Kuestner and I tick all those boxes. So please vote me into one of the two open City Council seats. Thank you. I won’t let our team down.
FRIENDS OF NORTH COUNTY RECREATION DISTRICT IS WRAPPING UP THEIR BULB SALES!
Listed below you will see two kinds of tulips and 7 kinds of daffodils Friends has left to sell. Please call me, Patty, 503-368-6081, if I’m not home leave me a message. I will take your bulb order and have it ready for you by Thursday. Will be leaving bulbs at NCRD in Nehalem where you can pick up and pay for them at the Welcome Center. Cash or check please. Thanks!
Rosy Diamond-Tulip
Describing color can be difficult. There it is on the color wheel, but what to call it? Rosy Diamond is a purple with extra red in it. Is that burgundy? Too red. Maroon? Too dark. How about beautiful? That’s not a color, but it’s an accurate description. Especially lovely with pastel pinks and soft yellows.
Price: 10/$15 TWO UNITS LEFT
Scarlet Baby-Tulip
Starry red flowers, tinted pink, with a buttery base. They open bright and early in the spring, providing a welcome jolt of color. Scarlet Baby blooms at only half a foot tall, but its intensity makes it seem big.
Price: 10/$10 TWO UNITS LEFT
Acropolis-Double Daffodil
Glistening white flowers with orange-red segments in the center. They are carried well above the foliage for easy viewing. Lovely in the garden and terrific in a vase, which also allows ready access to their spicy scent.
Deer and Rodent Proof Price: 5/$10 TWO UNITS LEFT
Delnashaugh-Double Daffodil
Double creamy white blooms enriched by fluffy peach-pink segments. An uncommon and uncommonly fetching daffodil. Delnashaugh is a good grower, with large flowers and a unique peach color.
Deer and Rodent Proof Price: 5/$10 8 UNITS LEFT
Erlicheer-Double Daffodil
Erlicheer is a sweetly scented double daffodil that bears 6 –12 small white
flowers on each stem. The flowers resemble miniature roses or gardenias and are easily as fragrant. Despite its name, Erlicheer is late by daffodil standards, blooming in midseason with the likes of Thalia. Deer and Rodent Proof Price: 5/$10 8 Units Left
Queen’s Day-Double Daffodil
A double yellow named for the Dutch holiday. Queen’s Day is itself a celebration of what hybridizers can achieve—a sunny, beautifully shaped flower produced by a robust bulb. Will it wait until the end of April to bloom? Probably not, but you’ll be glad to have Queen’s Day on whatever schedule it prefers.
Deer and Rodent Proof
Price: 5/$10 11 UNITS LEFT
Pipe Major-Uncommon Daffodil
Yellow-orange daffodils are common, but Pipe Major stands out, perhaps because it blooms later than most, perhaps because the creamy yellow perianth is so easy on the eye. New to daffodils? An old hand? Either way, Pipe Major will be an emblem of your good taste.
Deer and Rodent Proof Price: 5/$10
13 UNITS LEFT
Poeticus Recurvus-Uncommon Daffodil
Pheasant’s Eye. Breeders have done amazing things with daffodils over the past century, but it would be hard to improve on this wildflower. Graceful, reflexed white petals. Yellow cup ringed with red. Spicy scent. Lovely.
Deer and Rodent Proof Price: 5/$10
6 UNITS LEFT

Applying the law to avoid lawsuits is just what Wheeler City Council has done the past couple of years. Wheeler has consulted land use legal experts and attorneys every step of the way and they ARE enforcing the laws. Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) has ruled multiple times that the developer must consider the Vision Plan and Traffic Issues. Based on those rulings it seems to me that they recognize the document as being valid and enforceable.
2. There are 2 hotel owners on council, both of whom voted in land use decisions regarding a hotel application.
There is only one hotel/motel owner on Wheeler council not 2 as stated in Mr. Anctil’s post. The councilor is my husband Gordon and he indeed recused himself from voting on the 2019-10 and 2019-11 hotel and large 110 seat restaurant. This was despite my husband and my belief that a small boutique hotel would be good for the town and potentially bring more business. The problem that I see (my opinion) is that the proposal was large scale and not in keeping with the character of Wheeler as stated by citizens and the Vision Plan. The two hotel/motels in Wheeler currently operating are, 9 and 11 rooms, respectively. And, by the way, both councilors who recused themselves supported a small boutique hotel but at legal council’s advice recused themselves from the decision making. Boutique, small town character businesses will likely attract more visitors and be an economic benefit for Wheeler. Large Scale establishments will diminish our quaint nostalgic feel.
NOTE: I was unable to find a finalized meeting minute record on the Wheeler Website.
Yours in Transparency, Respectfully
Martha Taylor
Wheeler on the Bay Lodge, Owner/Operator.
Let me reiterate from our previous meetings……
(dare I use ALL CAPS to restate my points once again?)
The management of municipalities takes discipline and commitment, understanding the systems, and following the laws set forth. I look forward to helping steer the City in the direction provided by you, our citizens, as documented in the Vision Plan to assure our beloved town retains it’s charm while increasing FINANCIAL VITALITY to take advantage of growth and solid management of our assets. My PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE of 6+ years on City Council gives me a solid foundation to apply my skills.
I will strongly support the Vision Plan, which was adopted by Comprehensive Plan and Ordinance. It deals with all sorts of issues; not just development. It is the “Voice of the Citizen”. The Vision calls for supporting a Vital Economy and we need to focus attention on that element for success as well as retaining the character of our village, assuring a HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT and more. These are not mutually exclusive.
I will work to research issues, manage projects that are supported by the council body, and introduce ordinance and resolutions that will allow the city to move forward with goals and objectives.
City Staff should be given the time and tools to find INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING. We, as councilors, can do some of the leg-work if asked to assist with these important projects, working as a team.
We need to assure Businesses have the support of our laws and rules and include them in the process through open communication. Lets ask them for input on the sign ordinance that is currently being rewritten without their representation. I will encourage reinvigoration of a BUSINESS ASSOCIATION to facilitate open dialogue.
WORKFORCE HOUSING needs solutions applied. Until we have housing for workers we cannot support our businesses needs for staffing. I will study accessory dwelling unit options for long term rentals.
Our ordinance for NUSIANCE ABATEMENT needs to be upgraded to give the city leverage to encourage adherence to welcoming and safe buildings, which will attract new business.
I will continue to invite volunteers to participate hands-on in beautification of our town and other projects.
These areas are all outlined in the Vision that is all-encompassing.
NO SHORT TERM RENTALS (Ask my competitors what they support). Other potential financial sources such as short term rentals have been suggested. I do NOT support this as a revenue source, after talking to several experienced administrators including Marnie, Wheelers Finance Manager, who has multi city experience, there are too many issues and the costs out weigh the financial gain.
My competitors in this Council race have stated that the Vision Plan is old and we don’t have to use it anymore, others have said it no longer represents what our citizens want. While I agree it is time to re-measure public input, we should not disregard what citizens documented in the interim. This is a long process by design and must be done without bias.
We were all drawn to Wheeler for what it is, a beautiful coastal town with a nostalgic feel, neighborhoods where people know and help each other, and the million-dollar view. We have such a unique village that many people crave. I support development in all commercial districts with small to midsize boutique hotels, shops, and eateries. What an exciting time to prepare for the influx of visitors along the Salmonberry trail.
We will one day be the place so many outdoor enthusiasts first land on the Oregon Coast from their journey over the coast range via the Salmonberry Trail. We will be here, ready to serve them with small shops to explore, food to eat, places to stay, outdoor recreation (think kayaking/birding) and likely a bicycle repair shop to meet their needs. Who know, we may even have a small shop offering massage and foot care?
In summary, I envision a small town welcoming visitors and citizens alike who are looking for a variety of recreation, services, and support needs. Lets work together to build that into a reality.
Lets work together to boost the energy, economy and ecosystem of Wheeler. I will continue to listen to the people of Wheeler and I ask for your vote ballots are here. Please vote now.

You will choose two Council positions from a field of three people. I am the only candidate that has held office.
No matter who is elected, we will have a majority of new members on City Council and a new Mayor. I’m enthusiastic about bringing my experience to this new team and continuing to deal with the challenges we face! The newcomers will bring creativity and different perspectives, while my experience will help us get right to work!
Manzanita has a lot on our plate:
Completion of the Comprehensive Plan
Funding of the new city office building
Decisions on the foredune project
Revenue diversification
Updating System Development Charges (SDC’s)
Short Term Rentals and the STR Committees work –
maintaining fiscal solvency while addressing real
livability issues
How to incent Workforce housing
Modernizing our City’s records

If I have the honor to serve, I will bring experience and leadership to support and inform a new direction. My leadership experience will bring continuity to the Council and will be important as we tackle the many issues Manzanita will face as we move into the future.
Tillamook County Commissioner Mary Faith Bell notes: “I have the utmost respect and appreciation for Linda’s leadership, her heart for service to the community and her ability to develop, nourish and maintain positive relationships with a wide range of people. Moreover, Linda is a dynamo, she accomplishes amazing things, and leads and inspires others to great works as well. Truly, it is accurate to say that Linda brings out the best in people, often more than they knew they were capable of. Linda’s continued leadership on the Manzanita City Council is in everyone’s best interest.”
I would really like to hear from you. You can reach me via email at Linda.Kozlowski@gmail.com, or by phone at (503) 799-5550. You may also visit my website (lindaformanzanita.com) where you can learn more about my experience over the past 20+ years.

The band just told us that they are adding keyboard player Ken Margolis for this tour. Ken has played with Bo Diddely and the band Cracker.
This was a very nice late addition and will certainly help keep the room jumping.
From the band:
“Hey Edge of the West family and friends,
Hope the change of seasons is doing you right. Feels about right here. We just wanted to let you know about some cool shows we’re playing this Fall, around the SF Bay Area and Monterey Bay regions and up through the Pacific Northwest. This Sunday in historic Point Richmond, CA we play an all-Grateful-Dead night at a newer venue – the Baltic Kiss, where there has been a weekly Dead Sundays event developing. Then, back playing our usual eclectic repertoire, we head North for a musical expedition through Medford, Eugene, Manzanita OR, Tacoma WA and Cave Junction OR, October 27-31. This’ll be a fun adventure. We’ll have the big version of the band with Professor Ken Margolis on keys, pedal steel master Charlie Joe Wallace and of course Bill Laymon, Jim Lewin and Marty Carpenter holding down the core. In November we return to California to team back up with master songwriter-troubadour and Platinum-seller Lacy J Dalton for a pair of shows presented by Santa Cruz’s own KSQD Radio: Moe’s Alley 11/17 and in Carmel Valley 11/19. Details below.
We sure to appreciate you keeping us in your universe. Thanks for keeping tabs on us. Come on down to a show when it works for you. Music events keep us together. And have a warm and cozy Autumn, wherever you may be.
Best, Edge of the West
