The parade committee would like to thank everyone who allowed us to place a collection jar in their business:

*Big Wave
*El Trio Loco
*First Security Bank
*Four Paws on the Beach
*Manzanita Fresh Foods
*Manzanita Lumber
*Manzanita Winery
*Mighty Thai
*Manzanita Mudd Dog
*Sand Dune
*Sisters and Pete’s Coffee and Treats
*Manzanita Visitor Center

*Offshore Grill
*Hoffman Center
*Lunacy Coffee
*Nehalem Bay Winery
*Nehalem Food Mart
*Nehalem Lumber Co.
*Mohler Coop
*Shell Station
*Handy Creek Bakery

Unfortunately, three locations reported donation jar thefts or total donations would be even higher. We hope this mean-spirited behavior does not reoccur. Unfurl opted to not have a collection jar, instead donating $100.00! In total we have raised approximately $3,000.00 to help us offset expenses for the parade, this year calculated at $2,000.00. Some of those expenses included:

*Participation ribbons
*Artist fee for creating poster
*Printing of posters
*Printing poster art on shopping bags
*Volunteer lanyards
*Buttons from poster art
*Signs for Citizen of the Year vehicles
*Registration supplies
*General printing
*Banner printing

Some things are start-up costs and will not need to be repeated next year. Any funds left over will be held for the 2024 parade. Past parades have included entertainment, and if funds permit, we would like to return to this practice.

Again, thanks to all who collected and all who contributed. We really appreciate the enthusiasm expressed by all for bringing back our parade. “Return to Glory!”

I am not a Firefighter or a Climate Specialist, but we are dry and the 4th is fast approaching. Here are some common sense tips to help reduce wildfire fuels:
1) Haul off piles of dead sticks/leaves. Don’t wait until the air is smoky and ash is falling, take it to the transfer station, it’s free!
2) Remove all dead trees and bushes.
3) Prune dead limbs from trees.
4) Be proactive. If you see a vacant lot with an accumulation of wildfire fuels contact the City.
5) Water. Keep trees and vegetation healthy.
6) Check to see that you are insured against wildfire?!?

Happy Summer, Jeff Gerhardt, Certified Arborist

Note: This critique is a work of fiction. The play and its characters are fictional. Any resemblance to real individuals is unintended and purely coincidental.

A Triumph of Conviction: “5 Angry Councilors” Showcases a Heroine Mayor
“5 Angry Councilors” is a riveting play that draws inspiration from the classic 1954 television play “12 Angry Men”. The play was adapted for stage and film and has been given numerous remakes and adaptations, most recently as “12 Angry Jurors”. “5 Angry Councilors” applies the play’s intense deliberation to the realm of local politics. The play revolves around the City Council in an unnamed town, where the mayor, a remarkable character, stands as the beacon of integrity and leadership in the face of overwhelming opposition.
The mayor, brilliantly portrayed as the lone voice of reason and sound city policy, finds herself pitted against four councilors who embody different shades of resistance. The first is a long-time councilor who clings to outdated ideologies and is hesitant to embrace new perspectives. Two others are newly elected councilors, lacking the experience and the courage to challenge the status quo, easily swayed by the old-timer’s influence. Finally, a newly appointed councilor adds a different dimension of uncertainty to their position on the City Council.
Despite being consistently outnumbered and outvoted, the mayor demonstrates extraordinary determination and wisdom. She defies conventional thinking by prioritizing competence over familiarity, appointing the most qualified candidates to important committees, rather than succumbing to the pressure to favor long-time community members. She bravely questions excessive expenses and questionable fund transfers, refusing to rubber-stamp directives by the City Manager, and daringly challenging the authority of the litigious upstart manager. Furthermore, the mayor’s position on giving citizens the right to vote on funding for a new City Hall project in opposition to the councilors who vote to ram through their pet project highlights her commitment to transparency and democratic decision-making.
The tension in the play builds as the mayor strives to maintain her principles and steers the city towards responsible policies against the odds. The plot raises doubts about whether she will ever overcome the scheming four councilors and manager opposing her. This uncertainty creates a palpable sense of anticipation and keeps the audience engaged throughout the performance.
The acting in “5 Angry Councilors” is commendable, with the mayor’s portrayal stealing the show. The actress effectively conveys the character’s inner strength and conviction, making her a relatable and inspiring figure. The interactions between the mayor and the unprincipled councilors are filled with charged emotions and intense debates, creating an electric atmosphere on stage.
The play’s writing is sharp and thought-provoking, providing an insightful commentary on the challenges faced by responsible leaders in a political landscape resistant to change and of old-boy relationships. It encourages the audience to reflect on the importance of individual courage, the power of principled leadership, and the need for inclusive decision-making processes in local governance.
While the outcome of the mayor’s struggle remains uncertain, “5 Angry Councilors” serves as a powerful reminder that even in the face of overwhelming opposition, a determined leader can inspire change and challenge the status quo. This thought-provoking play is a must-see for anyone interested in politics, leadership, and the complexities of decision-making in a democratic society.
