ISO: Cleaning/Housekeeper for Private Individual and/or business in Rockaway Beach
Accommodating and respectful of those I work with and can offer:
1. Flexible Hours
2. 15-25 hrs/wk. Wage depending upon experience and performance. Can be more or fewer hours as needed to put family or school first.
3. Rare weekend duties would only be for the vacation rental.
We would start with Vacation Rental. If consistent, hours may grow to also include cleaning of Primary Residence, Office Building, and New Construction

Tasks vary and may include:
1. Typical household cleaning duties such as:
1. Sweeping, vacuuming, mopping, dusting, laundry, removing trash, etc. bedding, etc. Could also include
2. Organizing, gardening, errands if it worked for both sides.

Searching for these Qualities:
1. Self-motivated and hardworking
2. Reliable and trustworthy
3. Good Communication and responsible
4. Thorough independent worker
5. Cleaning experience

Note: In the past, I have worked with full-time parents, students, and/or individuals who need the flexibility to raise a family, while also working.
I am able to provide year-round work if we work well together. I have good relationships with previous workers.

Bottom line: Coming from someone who worked in housekeeping for many years, I know what you want to be treated well and with respect.

Maria Muldaur and Her Red Hot Bluesiana Band

Submitted By: qulwater@msn.com – Click to email about this post
Tickets are going fast for this show. Grab yours before it is sold out.

No lover of American roots music should miss the first ever North Coast performance by Maria Muldaur! Soulful and sassy, Maria Muldaur will light up the NCRD Performing Arts Center with New Orleans blues, gospel, and swamp funk, backed with grit and reckless abandon by her Red Hot Bluesiana Band.
Unparalleled interpreter of Americana music before the genre was invented, Maria’s musical style has evolved over four decades from her off-the-charts pop hit, “Midnight at the Oasis” to her explorations of New Orleans jazz, Western swing, gospel, country blues, and more. Maria has brought back into the spotlight some of America’s finest roots music around.
The recipient of six Grammy nominations and numerous other awards, Maria’s live performances are brimming with rock-the-roof tops energy. Part infectious fun and part down-home revival, they are a deeply satisfying antidote to contemporary mass media culture. Maria and her band are coming to NCRD April 9th at 7:00pm. Get your tickets in advance, because this show is sure to sell out! Tickets are $25 in advance and $28 at the door, you can purchase them online at tickettomato.com.
Doors open at 6:30. Show starts at 7pm with opening act The Beefheart Boys featuring Johnnie Ward and Bill Uhlig.
There will be a beer/wine social upstairs starting at 6pm
This is an all ages show.

A tale of two maple products + next date of Jeff’s “pop-up” booth in Wheeler

Submitted By: jwmerc@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
It is said there are about 125 varieties of the maple tree in the world – 13 of them native to North America. The predominate variety used to make real maple syrup in the New England/eastern Canada areas is the SUGAR maple (Red maple is also used to some extent) – of which sap we boil down during a brief ‘window’ each spring to make the wonderful (and wholesome!) sweet stuff used in coffee, baking applications – and more. MEANWHILE – on THIS side of the continent a little-known group of knowledgeable beekeepers monitors the unpredictable spring weather conditions here locally for the Vine and Broadleaf (AKA: Bigleaf) maple tree “flow” – when the food supply from those two species provides a key ingredient for honeybees to make a VERY special raw honey. Mother Nature doesn’t always cooperate so it’s rare (once every three years on average) that enough of this delicious food finds it’s way into a jar bearing the name – now is one of those times! Jeff and JW Merc has – for now – a sufficient amount of raw Oregon Maple Blossom honey available in anticipation of our next “pop-up” visit to Wheeler (on the landing in front of the building where you find Pelican & Piper) – Tuesday, March 15th – from at least 1-5 pm. Quarts are $25 each, pints $14 and there is just one half-gallon ($50) available (the usual array of other honeys/jar sizes will also be there). Pre-orders are a MUST. Contact Jeff directly through the JW Merc Facebook page – or send a text directly to his cell (208-424-0042) – and of course e-mail works equally well! Speaking of real Vermont maple syrup – please notice the picture of an early sample from this year’s “boil” which has already begun there. We won’t see any of that new stuff for quite some time – but Jeff still has a good number of delicious half-liters of both Amber Rich and Dark Robust available in glass jars – $16 each or take two for $30. See you in downtown WHEELER on TUESDAY MARCH 15TH between 1 and 5 – please get your Oregon maple blossom honey orders in ASAP!!! JW
