* Revise Manzanita’s Comprehensive Plan to meet community needs.
* Implement recommendations to minimize short-term rental impacts on residential neighborhoods.
* Identify alternative revenue sources to reduce the City’s dependency on visitors to fund basic city services.
Since moving to Manzanita 7 years ago, I’ve been studying how our City functions. I’ve witnessed our democracy in action: attended and participated in City Council, Short Term Rental, Budget and Planning meetings. I am passionate about our opportunity to act together now to shape Manzanita’s future while solving our immediate issues.
I am asking for your vote for a seat on the Manzanita City Council in November. Together we can work to create a framework to make certain that our town remains the wonderful place it is, while paying our bills well into the future.
Much needs to be done. Let’s roll up our sleeves and get to it!

Today we got up early and hiked NeahKahNie Mountain before work. While we’re up there looking down on the clouds covering Manzanita, I asked her if she knew that getting a massage works you out almost as much as the hike we just did.
“Now you tell me!” she laughed. “Next time let’s wake up at 6am and you can give me a massage instead.”
Heading back down the trail we started talking about our health goals for fall and winter. As we both near 50, self care is something we talk about a lot. Mostly because we want to have enough energy to work, travel, snowboard and ride our bikes as much as possible.
I give and get lots of massages every month because I know how good it is for me and I see how much it helps my clients.
Most people think massage is just for relaxation but the truth is- a 90 minute full body massage equals taking a 3 mile hike!
Massage deeply exercises and moves your muscles while increasing your blood flow and mobility.
At the same time it lets your mind calm down- so you can let go of any emotional or mental stress you’re holding too.
If you’re looking for a way to stay healthy this fall and winter- getting regular massages will help!
Massage feels great, it boosts your energy, and best of all- it’s an exercise that you’ll want to do!
I have openings this Friday and Saturday if you’re ready.

“Studying martial arts introduced me to Shodo and Zen traditional works. I’ve been deeply impacted by studying the use of empty space in the works of Zen Reishis. Additionally, the placement of an artist’s chops (the red seals) are the final balancer of a composition. Like most 2D arts the first works of a student of Shodo (the art of the brush) are precise, structured, predictable as identifiable kanji or phrases, as with realism in western painting; the orange in a bowl is predictably recognizable. There is no strain or inquiry required to extract any particular meaning.”
Artists’ statement” George Wilson –
“I paint watercolors, soaking the paper, sometimes on both sides and applying washes of color and tone wet on wet to create atmosphere and form. As the paper dries I add detail and structure using sketchbook and memory as source material. I like to paint the shapes of birds and sea stacks; the vertical staccato of old river pilings, the wake of ducks on the river.”
Artists’ statement: Kopali Serna –
“This series explores the story of a hearth that lay frozen for generations but has undergone a time of thawing and regeneration. I conceptualized the series from my perspective as a self-taught indigenous artist, at one point separated from my traditions through the impact of colonization, but now intuitively and joyfully rejoined.”
The gallery is free and open to the public.

Proof of Covid vaccination required; masks recommended
I love Manzanita and am honored to have served the Manzanita community on the Council for 4 terms.
In my years on Council, I have seen a lot of change. One thing that remains constant is the passion people hold for Manzanita – its past and future.
My 3 priorities are:
Envision Manzanita
Manage growth effectively with guidance from our community. This includes the update of our Comprehensive Plan which will be one of our biggest projects in the next few years.
Budget Forward
Balance the budget while making thoughtful and systemic changes. This will require new funding strategies to help us reduce our dependence on short term rental revenue.
Focus on Livability
The quality of life in Manzanita matters to everyone. Continuing to manage short-term rentals, address workforce housing and create workspace for our city staff are all important to me.
If you already know me, you understand that I enjoy meeting people and talking face-to-face. Covid has hampered our ability to do that for the past few years. I would really like to hear from you. You can reach me via email at Linda.Kozlowski@gmail.com, or by phone at (503) 799-5550. You may also visit my website lindaformanzanita.com, where you can learn more about my experience over the past 20+ years.
Thank you and please vote in November.

The Cannon Beach Arts Association offers an Individual Artist Grant for original work each year. The grant amount is $2,000 for 2022 – 2023 and may be awarded in part or in total to those who qualify.*
PURPOSE
The Artist Grant is intended to promote the work of local artists and to provide support necessary to expand their creative process. It is also the intent to encourage a wider art audience and quality art experiences within the community. The artist must provide a return to the community, by means of temporary exhibit, performance, community education, publication, or other means as specified in the proposal.
WHO MAY APPLY
The Artist Grant is open to visual artists, writers, performers, and musicians showing serious intent and working to produce original material. Artists must reside in Clatsop or Tillamook county.
PROCESS
The Artist Grant will be awarded on the basis of the grant proposal; the Cannon Beach Arts Association Grant Committee will review the proposals against the Evaluation Criteria. The CBAA will notify applicants of their decision by mail within 45 days of the application deadline. Once awarded, the grant recipient must enter into a contract with the CBAA and commit to a project deadline. Grant funds will be dispersed in two parts. The first disbursement, equal to half of the total grant award, will be made within 30 days of the grant award notification. The second disbursement, equal to the remaining of the total grant award, will occur approximately halfway through the project, following a mid-term progress review with a representative from the CBAA showing sufficient progress towards completing the project as defined in the proposal.
EVALUATION CRITERIA

· The project is for new work or work in progress (projects already completed do not qualify).

At the halfway point of its Summer Flower Sale Fundraiser, Friends of NCRD has raised over $2,500 for NCRD scholarships and programs, including Youth baseball, soccer, pickle ball, field trips, and summer camps.

To meet that goal, FRIENDS NEED YOUR HELP IN SUPPORT OF NORTH COUNTY’S YOUTH and YOUTH PROGRAMS. Please help extend opportunities to all in our community, with scholarships for those otherwise unable to participate. Already this summer, scholarships have made a difference in the lives of more than a dozen Youth in North County. Please help Friends continue this support.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Treat yourself or your neighbor to a flower arrangement…..cheer a friend…..celebrate a special occasion…..brighten an ordinary day. Arrangements, starting at $5, are on sale EVERY DAY in the parking lot of the Little Apple.
LOOKING AHEAD:
Friends’ Fall Fundraiser has begun. Place your order for Spring Blooming Bulbs and Potted Amaryllis. Photos of daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, crocus, paperwhites and amaryllis – as well as order forms – are at the Friends’ table in the Little Apple parking lot and at the Welcome Center at NCRD.

Citizens for common sense
Lance and Tammi (of the Waldron Dairy and Lance’s Farm Vittles) recently lost their hay barn to a fire. Insurance will only cover a portion of the cost of rebuilding. They are working hard to make repairs so they can put up hay this winter and continue to care for their animals.
Lance and Tammi have given much to our community by producing healthy local food and serving in leadership roles with area non-profits, including the North Coast Land Conservancy and the White Clover Grange.
This is our opportunity to give something back to a wonderful farm family who helps keep us deliciously fed!
In gratitude for your support, the White Clover Grange will host a feast featuring Lance’s Farm Vittles this fall.

What is River Community Meditation?
To enjoy all our gifts, together, in silence…
Witnessing what is arising and passing through us…
the joys and sorrows and inspirations…
Seeing clearly and allowing space for the pain in ourselves…and others.
Developing kindness as the capacity to feel and offer what is needed.
Sharing, to celebrate this one precious life…
Together.
Everyone has a gift for something, even if it’s the gift of being a good friend. -Marian Anderson
