If you’re feeling like you could use a little extra energy and support as the weather shifts, you’re not alone.

I’ve just returned from a 5 day advanced training in ERT- emotional release therapy in Northern California and I’m whooped.

Feeling the rain coming in makes me wanting to crawl into bed and stay there for a week.

When the world outside undergoes a shift in energy (fall and spring) I definitely feel it. We all do.

I hope this list of “8 wellness practices for fall” that my wife Ginger put together will help you take care of yourself as the season shifts.

If you’re ready for a fall massage or sauna I’m back in town and open for appointments this week Thursday – Saturday.

Stay well and I hope to see you soon,

On Monday, Councilor Jerry Spegman wrote an excellent North Coast BBQ article (Sept 25th) discussing his perspective on Manzanita’s next City Council. His position is one that I support, and I encourage you all to read.

On Tuesday, Kim Rosenberg did it again! Kim has a wonderful way of grounding us all and getting to the important points in her own fun and unique way.

My name is Linda Kozlowski. I have been a City Council member for a number of years and I’m running for re-election. I’m very excited, like Jerry and Kim, about our future and I want to continue being part of the decision-making that will have an effect us all.

There will be several new faces on the City Council starting in 2023 and it will be exciting to infuse fresh perspectives into the government process; my re-election will bring valuable experience, background, and history to the issues so we can make informed and effective decisions.

Jenna Edginton is one who has already been seated. She will bring a young and fresh voice to the issues. Jenna brings experience she gained while doing excellent work on our Planning Commission, and her input will be invaluable as we start the work of updating our Comprehensive Plan.

Deb Simmons will be the new mayor of Manzanita starting in January. Mayor Simmons will lead the Council in the serious work of updating our Comprehensive Plan, managing STRs, identifying new revenue sources, managing the budget, and overseeing construction of new City facilities.

I’m energized about the challenges and opportunities ahead for us. We will be looking for your help and support as we tackle the critical issues I’ve just mentioned as well as the following:

• Identifying opportunities to encourage housing that is affordable to local workers
• Making decisions about foredune grading
• Assessing whether to adjust water rates, which have not changed in more than ten years, to pay for capital projects that will ensure sustainable water delivery
• Modernizing and digitizing the City’s record-keeping

My experience will be of great support to the newest members of City Council and our new Mayor, and I look forward to working with them. Let’s make the next two years a time when we all come together for the common good.

When it comes to working for the benefit of this community that I love so much, I’m all in.

Please be sure to vote on November 8 and I’m asking that you re-elect me.

I’m Linda Kozlowski and I’m running for re-election for Manzanita City Council. You can reach me at Linda.Kozlowski@gmail.com. Visit my website at www.LindaforManzanita.com.

Manzanita is a community that loves to walk! We walk with our spouses, with our neighbors, alone, and with our dogs. We meet friends as we walk on our beautiful beach, we get our daily steps in by using the wonderful bike/pedestrian path in our state park, or—for the more adventurous of us—we hike on the new hiking trail that connects to Neahkahnie Mountain.

But I’ve been noticing that there is much more vehicle traffic in the residential parts of town. Many of those drivers are going too fast and driving unsafely around blind curves. We witnessed this in every neighborhood where we were canvassing. Often, the voter we were meeting would express their dismay and frustration as someone whizzed by. Some wished speed limit signs were posted, others wished for speed bumps or stop signs. Many talked about their safety fears for their pets or grandchildren.

It seems to me that it’s time to discuss the very real need to address pedestrian safety. Let’s consider speed bumps, new traffic patterns, and sidewalks. These things will keep our own livability factor high while accommodating the growing numbers of people who share our community at various times during the year.

Visit my website www.MarkForCouncil2022.com for more information about how I will bring ideas and action to our City’s government. You can also watch a brief video where I talk about these concerns at https://youtu.be/loz-WQGOrcg.
