Bamboo needed for planter troughs

Submitted By: ali@inarticulating.com – Click to email about this post
We are looking to create a ‘Green Screen’ around a portion of the grounds at St Catherine. We want to thank those who have already contributed towards the troughs as well as the Arborvitae. This has allowed us to make good progress.

We still need donations or good sources of inexpensive bamboo. These will NOT go directly in the ground. They will be contained in planters.

Thank you in advance.

Manzanita Talks with Councilors

Submitted By: mkuestner10@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I attended one of the informal talks with Manzanita City Councilors at the Manzanita Visitors
Center recently. Through May, they’re focusing on Revenue Diversification, specifically asking about the possibility of having a Prepared Food/Beverage Tax in Manzanita.
Our discussion ranged far and wide (though focused on potential pros and cons of a local
Prepared Food/Beverage Tax).
The point of the discussion is that in Manzanita, the city depends heavily for revenue on the
Transient Lodging Tax (generated by hotels and short term rentals (STRs).
Our reliance on these taxes is driven by a very low property tax rate, (Manzanita property
owners pay (rounded) .42 per $1,000 of assessed value. Compare this with Bay City, where
property owners pay (rounded) $2.50 per $1,000. Of assessed value)
So, what other options do we have to pay our bills and assure a livable city?
Cannon Beach, Ashland and Yachats all have a Prepared Food Tax of 5%.
Ashland has had theirs for 30 years, followed by Yachats and most recently by Cannon Beach.
The “beverage” (if included) excludes alcohol.
There are a few more Conversations with City Councilors scheduled. I encourage
friends/neighbors to attend, to comment, discuss and learn from one another.
The remaining discussions scheduled at the Manzanita Visitors Center are:
May 14 (Tuesday), 1-3pm
May 22 (Wednesday), 1-3pm
May 28 (Tuesday), 10-12noon
To be sure there’s room at the Visitors Center, they ask us to reserve our seats:

Fake OLCC SPYGATE SCAM posted on bbq

Submitted By: nehalembayexperience@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hey bbq’ers. The following post is from May 03, 2024 on bbq. The second part is from the OLCC.
Beware of this scam and the scammer James K.
Submitted By: jamesk3nn3r@aol.com – Click to email about this post
I’m looking for a few individuals that would be willing to participate in a investigation that I’m conducting for OLCC
(No I’m not affiliated with OLCC)
I’m acting independently
The olcc has asked me to go into a few bars
and collect video evidence of “overserving” and impaired driving.
You will be paid to sit in a bar and collect video evidence
(Don’t worry the cameras are covert)
If you would like to tap into your “spy” abilities
Email me for more info

Good morning Mr. Reid,

My name is Mark Smith. I am the Regional Manager for OLCC who oversees Inspector operations in your area. Your email was forwared to me. I wanted to say, we really appreciate you bring this to our attention. OLCC has no contractors or anyone working on our behalf in your area. In fact, I’m not aware of anyone doing any work like this for OLCC anywhere in the state. We have not asked anyone to look into bars in your area, as this person states.

We do have inspectors who may be operating in your area doing typical compliance checks. However, if we were to conduct an audit operation or an undercover operation like this person is describing, we wouldn’t use a contractor or ask a private person to do it. We would be doing it with our own, duly employed, state certified, and sworn Inspectors who are trained to do this. Additionally, we will not “covertly” record anyone with hidden cameras. It should be noted, depending on reasonable expectation of privacy, recording someone without their knowledge may be illegal and is simply not something OLCC engages in. In fact, we have internal policies which prohibit our employees from recording without another person’s knowledge. So, it stands to reason, we would not be asking a private person or company to do that on our behalf.

I can’t be sure with the information provided but given the nature of the very anonymous looking email and the ask to contact this person, I would be concerned this may be scam. Again, I don’t know that for sure, but this may be something you might want to make your local law enforcement aware of. OLCC’s authority is limited to regulating OLCC licensed premises, meaning we enforce rules attached to licenses issued by OLCC. We have some limited law enforcement authority, but it is limited to liquor related crimes such as Furnishing Alcohol to Minors. Therefore, someone who may be committing a crime such as illegally recording or impersonating a government official, would need to be addressed by a law enforcement officer.

Again, we really appreciate you bringing this to our attention. I will be letting our local inspectors know about this so they may keep an eye out. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to email me or call me at the number listed below.

Very Respectfully,

Mark Smith
