QUICK (and simple)

Jeff’s booth (JW Merc raw/local honey, real Vermont maple syrup products etc) will be in downtown Wheeler this TUESDAY (November 15th, 2022) for a quick “pop-up” between 1:30 and 4:30pm – in front of the building where you find Pelican and Piper.
Several small-ish items will be available should you need a gift in the upcoming week(s) and a fair amount of larger jars-jugs-bags as well.
Regional bee pollen – YES – available in two portion sizes – real Vermont maple SUGAR – YES – also available in two portion sizes – Oregon Wildflower honey QUART jars ($25) – going fast. New releases from the dazzling OSO beekeeping group – Oregon Meadowfoam (not-for-the-timid!) – and Pumpkin Chicory – $20 each per pint. Full gallon raw honeys of raw honey are now $95 per jar – and they will go higher in 2023 – I will have two perfectly crystallized Clover-Meadowfoam with me (it’s delicious). Pristine five-pound blocks of Willamette Valley beeswax are $95 (limited)
It’s always best to let me know ASAP if there’s something you’d like to order in advance for pickup – send text to my cell: 208-424-0042, e-mail: jwmerc@gmail.com or send instant message through the JW Merc Facebook page.
If I don’t see you on Tuesday I wish you all a nice holiday season – and appreciate the helpful business the north county has brought me this and so many other years…JW

CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU…from Deb Simmons

Submitted By: gerald@wineinger.com – Click to email about this post
Manzanita is fortunate that 3 citizens campaigned long and hard for 2 city council seats. Congratulations to Brad Mayerle and Linda Koslowski for their victories, and also to Mark Kuestner for earning significant citizen support. It was a very close race run with dignity and respect.
None of us hit the campaign trail alone. We were all backed by teams of friends, believers and spouses who did much of the hard work and gave us significant guidance along the way. And, to our supporters, those who were out front as well as behind the scenes, there is no way to thank each of you individually for your contributions. However, kudos goes out to the Concerned Citizens of Manzanita and to the Women’s Forum who knocked on a lot of doors, and also to those who hosted gatherings and encouraged citizens to make every vote count.
Speaking personally, my thanks will be in working towards implementing some of those changes that many of you hope to see happen. Respecting all people – whether or not you share a view – will be the norm. Opening doors to discussions so all sides can be heard – will be the norm. Councilors and city officials listening to what you have to say – will be the norm. Finally, putting major spending and other significant packages to a vote by citizens – will be one of my personal goals as mayor.
Thanks, also, to the hundreds of citizens who voted. I am overwhelmed by your support, engaged by the lively banter of opposiing views and encouraged about the vision of our city coming together.
Respectfully,
Deb Simmons Mayor-elect of Manzanita

‘Cozy Mystery’ Author Ellie Alexander to Speak at Cannon Beach Library

Submitted By: nmccarthy1276@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Mystery author Ellie Alexander likes to bake. It’s no surprise, then, that her Bakeshop mystery series includes the titles, “Muffin But the Truth,” “Donut Disturb” and “Nothing Bundt Trouble.”

Alexander will discuss her books – and maybe offer a recipe – when she visits the Cannon Beach Library at 2 p.m. Nov. 12. This is a hybrid event; the presentation can be viewed in person at the library or online: www.cannonbeachlibrary.org.

The event is also a part of WOW! Weekend, a three-day festival in Cannon Beach featuring local vendors, artists, speakers and performers. All library events are free and open to the public.

In addition to the Bakeshop series, Alexander’s cozy mysteries include the Sloan Krause mysteries, the Pacific Northwest and Rose City mystery series and several stand-alone novellas and collaborations.

Alexander notes that the Pacific Northwest is a backdrop for every book, and the location “almost becomes another character in each series.”

Her books feature charming small towns, idyllic settings, delicious foods and drinks and lovable characters (and sometimes, even murder).

A voracious storyteller, Alexander says her goal is to “tell stories that provide points of connection, escape and understanding.”

Alexander has published over 30 books in hardcover, mass-market paperback, e-book, audio, and Japanese. Her writing has appeared in regional and international publications including Climbing Magazine, Women’s World, Buzz Feed, The Oregonian and Portland Family Magazine. She also teaches classes and workshops on writing and marketing.

The event is offered by the NW Authors Series, a committee of the Cannon Beach Library that sponsors monthly author talks and other events from September through May.

Rockaway Roastery is now open!

Submitted By: hello@rockawayroastery.com – Click to email about this post
Hi! We are excited to announce that Rockaway Roastery is now open!! To mark the irony of how long it took, the included photo is from July 4th…

We are open every day but Tuesday and will stay open late Wed-Sun. We are currently serving our full espresso menu and a large selection of baked goods. Within the next couple of weeks we will be adding in our other menu items including biscuit sandwiches, flatbreads, pizzas, and more!

We have 8 beers on tap along with a nice selection of bottled beers. Growlers welcome. Curated selection of wine featuring some natural/biodynamic options.

The stage will be ready for primetime in December, so if you are in a band or have some talent, talk to us about creating a show. If you have a book club or anything where you need a place to meet, we like to call ourselves Rockaway’s new living room. Lastly, we are starting a Spanish/English conversational group for those who want to improve conversing in either language.

We are so excited to serve this community and we hope to see you soon!!!

I urge my neighbors to be involved too.

Mayerle for Manzanita: The Cows are in the Barn

Submitted By: mayerleformanzanita@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I hope you woke up this morning and noticed fewer signs on our streets. I decided to take my campaign signs down, not out of lack of commitment, but out of respect. The signs have been up for two months, and I am sure they are an eyesore. They have done their work, as have I!

Another reason I took them down is that this past week, someone has been removing and discarding my signs—about 1/3 of them went missing. I’m afraid the signs will end up as litter in our forests, waterways, or our parks (which is where some of the stolen ones have shown up). I don’t believe another two days of looking at them is going to change anyone’s mind when it comes to voting for Manzanita City Council. So, as they say, “The cows are in the barn.”

If I happened to miss one of the signs and you still have one in your yard, please text or call 503-260-4105 and I will swing by to pick it up.

It’s time for the campaigning keyboards to quiet, the airwaves to calm, and the signs to be gone. It’s time to move forward, to vote, and to get to work for Manzanita.

If you want to know more about me, go to my website: bit.ly/MayerleforManz or my blog: bit.ly/bradsdailyblog

With Gratitude,
Brad Mayerle

Charles McNeilly’s Statement to Undecided Vovers in Rockaway Beach

Submitted By: michael.s.weissenfluh@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I’m Charles McNeilly and I am running to be your Mayor. Are you undecided? Let me tell you about Cindy Kay Gregory and me.
I first met Cindy Kay Gregory when she was out gathering signatures to get on the ballot as a candidate for Councilor. Our paths crossed next at a City Council meeting. I quickly learned that Cindy Kay was running for the same reasons I am – to provide increased opportunities for residents and merchants to be heard. We want to build lines of communication between elements of our community and all aspects of city government.
We want Rockaway Beach to meet our challenges and build a vibrant community collaboratively. We want to foster trust within and between individuals and city government. If you are undecided, consider what Cindy Kay and I have done during our campaigns to demonstrate our commitment to these objectives.
We’ve walked the streets of Rockaway Beach and knocked on doors; posted answers to key questions on Tillamook Pioneer; participated in the Candidate Forum; answered your questions on MooVoter, and Facebook; we hosted two well attended Listening Sessions – giving residents a chance to weigh in on critical issues facing Rockaway Beach; and we’ve published our contact information for you to reach out to us directly. We have actively engaged with you, the residents of Rockaway Beach, during the campaign to learn what matters most to you.
Now, it is up to you!
Vote for Cindy Kay Gregory for Councilor and Charles McNeilly for Mayor, your listening candidates, so that as a community of equals we can come together collaboratively and move forward to dream and chart the glory days ahead.

With Election Day almost here, I, along with Linda, Murphy and Malcolm (clockwise), want to thank all of the people who made my campaign for City Council possible. Thanks also to everyone who has spoken with me as I’ve knocked on your doors, or has contacted me on my website (www.MarkForCouncil2022.com), responded to my U.S. mail letter, stopped me at the grocery store to chat, or called me on the phone to let me know what’s on your mind. I appreciate all your time and interest in how to make Manzanita the best place for all of us.

I urge everyone to vote and encourage you to cast that vote for me for Manzanita City Council.

We are grateful to live in this beautiful place and in this engaged community.

GREAT chance to save $$ on gallon jugs real maple syrup (restaurants?)

Submitted By: jwmerc@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hi folks – Jeff the “honey and maple syrup guy” here – my current brand of real Vermont maple syrup is going to be changed out post-haste – and replaced with another (or two – which won’t be any less expensive) – so I have some large containers of real maple syrup to sell! This could be a great chance for a restaurant or bakery to save a few bucks on the very best Vermont has to offer (or for someone who wants to give out some REALLY impressive holiday gifts!)
I have SIX full gallons of syrup in classic white “jug” (yes – BPA-free food grade) – $70 per jug while they last – or you can take two for $130 – or THREE for $180.
There are EIGHT of the half-gallon jars in glass (all amber-rich grade – the middle one) – normally $45 each – contact me if you want to get a bunch.
CASH or your good check preferred – I am doing deliveries on WEDNESDAY of this coming week – pretty much full but I can bring some of these jugs with me. Text: 208-424-0042 – e-mail: jwmerc@gmail.com or via message through the JW Merc Facebook page – thanks for thinking about it….jw

YOUR VOTE COUNTS!

Submitted By: ml2@comcast.net – Click to email about this post
There are only four days until the end of this election cycle. Perhaps people across the country will breathe a sigh of relief. I know I will.

I write this post to ask you to vote. Don’t be fooled by thinking that your vote doesn’t count. It does. Many people have worked diligently in recent months to share their views and to highlight the many issues that face our North Coast cities.

Wheeler City Council candidates have been vocal. Some have been straightforward, others have repeatedly twisted facts not only about their own positions, but the positions of others. It is time to separate fact from fiction. You can do this with your vote.

I cast my votes for Dave Bell and Walt Porter, as well as for my own candidacy. I also voted for Heidi Stacks by writing in her name for the 2-year term position.

I want only the very best for Wheeler and, if elected, I promise to work tirelessly for our City.

Your vote does count. Please use it! Thank you.

Respectfully,
Mary Leverette
