I take issue with these points made in a bbq post “Back the Badge is BS” on April 26 by kilchis@protonmail.com

From the post: Back the Badge is BS by kilchis@protonmail.com
“The Secondary Amendment Sanctuary Ordinance on the May ballot is a symbolic measure that gives you an opportunity to support the 2nd Amendment, and gun rights, or to oppose them, if you choose.”

From the Tillamook County Clerk’s website: www.co.tillamook.or.us/sites/default/files/fileattachments/clerk039s_office/page/69486/29-161tillco2ndamendnoticeofballottitlecircled.pdf
“Violators of this ordinance would be subject to civil penalties such as fines up to $2000 Dollars for individuals and $4000 for a corporation.”

My opinion:
If a violator can be fined, it seems to me that this is NOT a symbolic measure.

From the post: Back the Badge is BS bykilchis@protonmail.com
“There would be no practical impact. Local law enforcement would continue to enforce all laws as they see fit, as they do now. But it would be a public statement that the community supports the right to own firearms.”

From the Tillamook County Clerk’s website: www.co.tillamook.or.us/sites/default/files/fileattachments/clerk039s_office/page/69486/29-161tillco2ndamendnoticeofballottitlecircled.pdf
(CAPS are mine)
Although this ordinance would GENERALLY PROHIBIT county officials from following firearms regulations, exceptions would be allowed in certain LIMITED situations. County officials could still comply with firearms laws that relate to convicted felons, could still participate in enforcement of firearm crimes, and could still take any actions necessary to comply with court orders.

My opinion:
This ordinance as stated above, if passed, WOULD prohibit county officials from following firearms regulations so it DOES have practical impact.

“Unfortunately, the Tillamook County Democratic Party and local Democrat officials are running a “fake” campaign funded by outside progressive money.”

From a bbq post “Following the money in local politics”
by dmccalltillamook@gmail.com April 29
“When my ballot arrived, I remembered a piece from a few days ago warning of “a “fake” campaign funded by outside progressive money.” With a few minutes to spare, I took the author’s advice and researched the PAC’s campaign finances on Orestar.
Orestar is the state’s campaign finance transparency system, individually identifying each contributor giving over $100 to a campaign. Right there, laid out in black and white, was the cold proof of who was financing this group. Dozens of people had donated less than $100 each, and only a handful over that. I recognized all but one of the names — people who live in Netarts, Tillamook, Bay City, Nehalem, Manzanita, etc. All locals. The largest contribution was $1000. I didn’t see any red flags here.”

From the post: Back the Badge is BS by kilchis@protonmail.com
“If you support gun ownership make your opinion known and vote yes. If you don’t, then also make your opinion known and vote no.”

My opinion:
I support the 2nd Amendment and I am voting NO.

From the post: Back the Badge is BS by kilchis@protonmail.com
“Everything about this organization is fake, all of their information is false, and they know it is false.”….But efforts to lie, confuse, distort and mislead — anything to get their way — are what damages democracy, and our communities. It’s a sad thing, but there it is.”

My opinion:
Who is being misleading?? From my perspective it is kilchis@protonmail.com

Food grade silicone rubber

For sale: one gallon of food-grade silicone molding material:
www.douglasandsturgess.com/PDFs/Food-Grade-Silicone-DS.pdf

Make your own molds for chocolates, soap, gummy candies,…?

Easy to use two-part platinum cure silicone: measure each ingredient, mix, pour into a container holding the toy, vegetable or other object you want to copy, and pop out a mold in about an hour!

This is discounted heavily because it is one year old this month, and so it may take a little longer to cure. The manufacturer assures me that heating during the cure will fix this. Both parts are still under factory seal, and they have been kept in a cool, dark closet, so the likelihood of any problem is minimal.

$50 OBO

Happy molding!

Marc Thielman : 27 yrs of Public Service.
Superintendent of Alsea School . When lockdowns started went to deliver equipment, food, help to families ….then he noticed the moral breakdowns, depression, suicides,…so he said : < That's it I'm re opening the school ..Parents you choose to get involve or not, come as you wish, masks or not.., YOU make that choice >
The school went from 200 students to 700 .
Not one single case of covid in 2 years.
Governor Brown punished the school financially .
Marc heard of 2 kids who had dark thoughts,
he drove 2 hours each day , taking them to school .
Marc Thielman has 5 children, 3 of them adopted from foster care , one little girl with special needs .
The person who helps taking care of her is a trans. Marc says : it’s about a person’s actions & , character ..
So here I am a 40 yrs Democrat voting for a Human Being who has already shown what he is about .

Following the money in local politics

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

When my ballot arrived, I remembered a piece from a few days ago warning of “a “fake” campaign funded by outside progressive money.” With a few minutes to spare, I took the author’s advice and researched the PAC’s campaign finances on Orestar.
Orestar is the state’s campaign finance transparency system, individually identifying each contributor giving over $100 to a campaign. As I’ve heard former Senator Betsy Johnson state many times, it works well because the legislature commissioned it. 

Right there, laid out in black and white, was the cold proof of who was financing this group. Dozens of people had donated less than $100 each, and only a handful over that. I recognized all but one of the names — people who live in Netarts, Tillamook, Bay City, Nehalem, Manzanita, etc. All locals. The largest contribution was $1000. I didn’t see any red flags here. 

Since I had a few more minutes to invest in this rabbit hole, I decided to check out some local races, since as Tip O’Neill told us, “All politics is local.” So on to the commissioner race! Not surprisingly, the average contribution was a bit higher, but once again, I recognized most of the names who were listed as contributors to Mary Faith Bell’s campaign as locals. Her opponent had not reported any contributions or expenses at all. 

So on to the state house race! New locals running for this open seat. The first thing I noticed when I pulled up Logan Laity’s info is a line highlighted in red. When Orestar was created, they must have wanted to make it easier for us to identify the red flags of out-of-state influences on our politicians. Well, it looks like Logan received $150 from someone in Montana — maybe an old friend or relative? Other than that, pretty boring looking at his list. 
Cyrus Javadi has managed to draw in about six times as much money. Although he has quite a few red lines, they appear to be from family members or fellow dentistry professionals. So where’s the money coming from? Quite a few political action committees have made significant contributions, with one giving as much as A Just Right has raised in aggregate so far! 
The third contestant in this race has not yet raised or expended any money. 

The state senate, not surprisingly, is a different story. Heading into an uncontested primary, the Democrat has raised about as much as the Republican. The number of “red lines” is about the same, though Melissa Busch’s appear to be from individuals in Kansas, whereas Suzanne Weber’s appear to be primarily from large corporations. I chuckled when I saw that Anheuser Busch Companies have given $3,500 to Weber’s campaign, rather than to their namesake. 

I’ll keep this in mind as I fill in my ballot.

HELP!

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: diannerbloom@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Fellow Community members, Help! Our county is in desperate shape. We do not have enough nurses and healthcare providers to take care of us. Nurses and health care providers are trained to assess, diagnosis, treat and evaluate (all nursing functions) folks with all types of conditions. If we expect to remain healthy and well or to attain a certain level of functioning as we age, we need good nursing care provided by a number of different types of health care practitioners. Voting yes on TBCC Measure 29-165 will enable our community to educate our nurses and health care providers. A local program will allow students to stay locally, both while in school and after graduation, along with making an adequate salary. We have had our local assisted living centers close because we don’t have health care providers. The Nehalem Bay Health District is doing all they can to make sure the Nehalem Valley Care Center (the only skilled nursing care center in Tillamook Co) stays open and is adequately staffed. We all have to work on this issue. Help your community, vote yes for the Community College Bond and TBCC’s efforts to deal with our critical nursing and heath care provider shortage. Thank you

New additions at the Nehalem Bay Garden Club Plant Sale

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: barbaraandchuck@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
There are some new additions to the annual Nehalem Bay Garden Club’s plant sale.

A raffle for a iRobot Vacuum Model 805 Roomba, complete with all the paperwork in the cardboard tray it came in. Tickets are $5 each or 6 for $20.

River City Flower Farm will be selling their dried flower arrangements and wreaths as well as dahlia bulbs.

There will be gifts for Mom, including garden themed cards handmade by Garden Club members.

The sale will be held Mother’s Day weekend: Saturday, May 7th from 9-4 and Sunday, May 8th from 10 to noon. Location of the sale is 43080 Northfork Rd, Nehalem at the junction of Hwy 53 and Northfork Rd. Look for the horse sculpture!

And don’t forget we have TOMATOES! About 600 gallon pots of at least 19 varieties of tomatoes will be available including heirloom, cherry, grape, roma and beefsteak types among others. These varieties were specifically chosen by experienced members because they are proven performers in our coastal climate.

Besides tomatoes, club members have started other vegetables from seed so gardener’s plant selections will be available from a local source. Also on offering will be the club’s usual annuals, perennials, natives, herbs, succulents, shrubs, and trees.

Club members want to share their appreciation to the folks at the Lower Nehalem Community Trust. Since Alder Creek Farm is not having a plant sale this year, due to a gap in garden management resources, they graciously made their hoop house available for the Club’s use. It is currently stocked with the tomatoes growing big and lush in the heat and light of the hoop house.

Nehalem Bay Garden Club donates proceeds from the sale to local organizations that share the Club’s mission. Recently the focus for these grants has been on food security. Past recipients include North County Food Bank, Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church for their food programs, Food Roots, Hoffman Gardens, Alder Creek Farm, Nehalem Elementary Garden Program, and the mural at Nehalem City Park.
