I know losing weight and keeping it off can seem overwhelming or out of reach.
Or both.

Sometimes it might feel easier to just settle…the hormones, menopause, too old, too busy, too stressed, etc.

But that little voice within keeps nudging us.

Maybe you could lose weight with self-loving and kind support and tools?

Hello 🙂 I have had many types of jobs over the years, but it seems I have found a calling as a caregiver. I go by the name of “Cornelius” in honor of my great grandfather. I am Irish and have an affinity with nature – specifically trees (thus the title DruidMan). I am a very good cook, know how to sew, am quite handy with tools and building, like to sing novelty songs, and am a good storyteller. I guess that is why some refer to me as a Renaissance Man. Although I am the gregarious type, I can certainly keep to myself when working with clients who prefer silence. I have received extensive training as a caregiver, including medication management, first responder emergency preparedness, and I have experience working with clients with dementia, diabetes, and terminal cancer. The past 3 years, I have cared for a gal with cancer, and stayed with her through end of life. References upon request 😉

Hi folks – this coming TUESDAY (April 18th – yep – it’s also “tax day”) Jeff will be set up at the usual spot in WHEELER from at least 12-4 pm with new pours of real Vermont maple syrup (remember when we used to do this?) – bring YOUR jar from home (glass canning jars preferred – or old honey jars would do well) and save a couple of bucks (pint jar refills $13 – quart jar refills $23) – OR you can get a new jar from me for a couple of bucks more + the syrup. I CAN do half-gallon refills – they will be $43 each but I WON’T have a new jar in that size for you.
There WILL be both regional bee pollen (two sizes) AND some raw honey available (quarts, pints and one half-gallon jar only) – organic apple-cider vinegar too (full gallons only) – but this particular “pop-up” will be a bit more streamlined so as to make room for the new syrup station.
Questions? Pre-orders? (these are SUPER HELPFUL) – contact Jeff via text to his phone (208-424-0042) – or by e-mail (jwmerc@gmail.com) – or through the Jeffrey Warren Facebook page. We’ll see you on TUESDAY at Hwy 101/Rector in WHEELER!

I am Marisa Bayouth-Real and am running for NKN School Board. I spent 17 years teaching middle school and high school Language Arts at NKN until the pandemic hit and I became a full-time parent. Recently I have ventured back into the world of education as I teach swimming lessons at NCRD and am taking classes at Lewis and Clark Grad School for Education while contemplating pursuing my PhD in administration. It seems like it is time for me to serve public education again. It is what I have done since I volunteered as a peer reader for kindergartners when I was in 6th grade. Public education is who I am.

Many community members as well as NKN staff, students, alumni, and families have asked me to run. Their belief in my ability to serve our community is humbling and I feel compelled to rise up and answer their call. I want to serve the students and staff of Neah-Kah-Nie School District. During the pandemic I became one of the many women who had to choose between career and family. Since I am no longer serving my community in the classroom, I feel like offering up my expertise and compassion as a board member is the next best thing.

My vision for our community looks like one big mosaic. We are all different from each other, sometimes broken and a little rough around the edges. The pandemic isolated us and illuminated our differences. I think it is time to step out and join hands again. When we come together and bind ourselves to a common vision like supporting students, we create something that is grander than what any of us could accomplish on our own.

Feel free to contact me with any questions at crowandtree@yahoo.com or join my Facebook page Marisa Bayouth-Real for Neah-Kah-Nie School Board.

The Tillamook County Transportation District was formed in 1997. Its mission was, and is, to provide public transportation throughout the county and it has done an amazing job. It started with no funding, two borrowed buses and limited routes. Since then, over a million passengers have ridden The Wave throughout our county and into neighboring counties. Trips that were once impossible without a vehicle, like doctor visits, shopping, visiting family and friends and going to work or school are now taken every day, seven days a week, by Wave riders. This is a wonderful accomplishment and one that everyone in the county can rely on and be proud of. But, we can, and need to do more.

I have chatted with riders of The Wave and I have learned that the ease of local public transport has yet to be achieved. Riders are limited by routes, infrequent buses, long waits for connections, complicated scheduling that may demand multiple days in advance to schedule, areas not served, and costs.

I see a future for our public transportation system in which every member of our community can travel seamlessly, at a moment’s notice, and at an affordable price. I see daily commuters to work and school who won’t have long wait times and can be home in time for dinner. I see solutions for tourists that may curb traffic congestion during peak season, and much more. However, achieving these goals means getting into the details of demand, connections, frequency of current ridership and making changes based on data.

I’m ready to sit down with riders to assess their wants and needs; then talk with service providers, government programs, grant providers, and others to learn the issues and develop solutions, find the funds, and make the goal of smooth, easy travel a reality for anyone in Tillamook County.

My name is Mary Leverette. I have had an almost 30-year career in government service, both for the State of Oregon and the City of Portland. I supervised both projects and staff. I have a Master’s Degree in Psychology and I am a dedicated volunteer. For the second year, I am organizing the Wheeler Clean-up Day; I write a column on birds for the Lower Nehalem Community Trust; and, most importantly, I was a Hospice Volunteer for 14-plus years. I am organized, positive and practical. I am retired and have the time, energy and experience to serve. I am seeking a position on the County Transportation District because I am committed to serving my community.

The Nehalem City Council has joined city councils in Wheeler and Manzanita in formally endorsing the Nehalem Bay Health District’s May 16 bond measure that will improve and expand local health and senior care services in north Tillamook County.

The Nehalem action came during the council’s regular meeting on April 10. Wheeler’s city council endorsed the bond measure on March 21 and the Manzanita council made its endorsement on April 5.

Nehalem Mayor Phil Chick said the effort to improve health and senior care in the community is “about the future and providing essential health care to the community.”

The Health District is seeking approval of a $10.25 million bond to address three community needs:

• Construction of an expanded, state-of-the-art Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy with adequate space to provide specialty care such as dental services and cardiology that are not current available in the community. The new facility would be constructed in downtown Wheeler on Highway 101 at Hospital Road.

• Renovation and modernization of the Nehalem Valley Care Center in Wheeler, the region’s only skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility. The Health District believes the Care Center, particularly given the closure of assisted living facilities in Tillamook County last year, will become even more important to the community in the future. A major renovation will help create a safer more inviting environment for patients and staff.

• And site preparation for workforce housing particularly geared to health care and other essential workers. Between the Care Center and Health Center nearly 80 people are employed in health care jobs in north Tillamook County.

“It is extremely gratifying to receive the endorsement and support of all the communities in the Health District,” said Health District board president Marc C. Johnson. “I believe the city councilors and mayors of Wheeler, Manzanita and Nehalem understand, as the Health District surely does, that maintaining and improving health and senior care is an essential part of continuing to have vital, thriving communities.”

More information on the bond measure is available at: www.nehalemhealthcare.com

Manzanita is the second north county community to formally endorse the May 16, 2023 health and senior care bond measure that has been advanced by the Nehalem Bay Health District.

The Manzanita City Council approved a resolution of support at its April 5 meeting. The Wheeler City Council approved a similar statement of support at its March meeting, and the Nehalem City Council is expected to consider formal support for the bond measure later this month.

The Manzanita resolution was introduced by Councilor Brad Mayerle, a retired dentist, who noted that the bond measure will lead to improvements in local health care. “I think it’s important that we recognize this bond measure. The city of Wheeler has already done so,” Mayerle said. “This measure checks a lot of boxes with respect to providing health care services and affordable housing for health care employees.”

The Manzanita resolution states, in part, “the City Council of the City of Manzanita do hereby endorse the Health District bond measure in the May 16, 2023 election and encourage residents to also support the measure and these critical local projects.”

The Health District’s plans for the new, state-of-the-art Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy that would be constructed in downtown Wheeler include provisions for dental care and other specialty services not now available in the community.

In addition, the bond measure will fund renovation and modernization of the region’s only skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility – the Nehalem Valley Care Center. The Care Center, also located in Wheeler, offers 24-hour nursing care to patients, as well as rehabilitation services.

In remarks to the Manzanita Council, Health District board president Marc C. Johnson said the Care Center will become even more important to the region in the future given the steady increase in the north coast’s elderly population. Johnson noted that two senior care facilities closed in Tillamook County in 2022 and that making upgrades to improve quality and safety for seniors, as well as improvements in the working conditions for care staff, would help ensure the facility serves the community into the future.

A third element of the bond measure would fund site preparation of Health District owned property as a necessary step to development of workforce housing for health care and essential workers.

The Yes For Local Health Care campaign has scheduled several town hall meetings before the election, including a “virtual town hall” on April 19 in order to provide information about the bond measure and what it would support.

Visit www.nehalemhealthcare.com for information about events and the growing number of residents who support the plan.

Remember to follow our Facebook page so you’re up to date on the bond measure and upcoming events.

PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION​​
April 4, 2023

NCRD Moves Ahead with New Swimming Pool Construction

On Tuesday, March 28, North County Recreation District awarded the contract for construction of a new swimming pool, to be located adjacent to its existing facility in Nehalem. The Notice to Proceed was issued to Par-Tech Construction Inc. the following day. This award follows an open bidding process in which three bids were received. Par-Tech’s bid at $10.9 million was the lowest received for the base scope.

Par-Tech is a family-owned construction company based in Oregon City, with extensive experience in commercial building under government contracting regulations. Their subcontractors will include a mix of Oregon-coast based companies. Preliminary work on-site is planned for mid-April, subject to receipt of the County building permit. The contract calls for completion of Phase 1 by August 10, 2024.

This award is a major milestone in a long-planned development. NCRD’s existing swimming pool was built in 1930. It is not energy efficient and has been outgrown in capacity. Our experienced pool architect, Carl Sherwood of Robertson Sherwood Architects PC was engaged in 2012 to study alternatives, including the potential to upgrade the existing pool. However, changes in pool regulations and the need to expand capacity ruled this out. Fundraising continued from that time, and in 2020 a bond measure to fund the new pool was approved by voters. However, fundraising efforts were always battling the 5-7% annual construction cost inflation that significantly worsened in recent years with the impacts of COVID.

As a result, the project will be undertaken on a phased basis, as there remains much left to accomplish. Phase 1 will include the building and exterior site-works, including additional parking. Phases 2 and 3 will include the interior finishes for a 6-lane main pool and a large therapy pool. We will need to raise an additional $1.6 million before these phases can be completed. To assist in fundraising, NCRD has engaged a local consultant, Fiorelli Consulting. NCRD Board Chairman Jack Bloom stated, “I want to be clear. North County taxpayers have provided more than enough support for this new facility through the 2020 Bond Measure. The new pool will be a significant attraction for new residents and tourists in Tillamook County. It is time for other donors to step up and join the good citizens of North County to help us in recognition of the benefits the new Aquatic Center will bring to the entire County!”

When completed, the new facility will have a six-lane main pool and separate therapy pool, housed in a 15,000 sq. ft. building including showers and changing rooms. New parking spaces will be shared with NCRD’s Performing Arts Center and the existing Recreation Center.

Barbara McCann, NCRD Executive Director, said, “Our small rural community has achieved a monumental goal! For the last 90 years our local children have learned how to swim in a pool that previous generations had the foresight to build in 1930 during the Great Depression. Since then, every child in our community learns how to swim as part of their basic education. Now we can carry on that vital service for future generations.”
