Recommendation for Chimney Doctor

Submitted By: dmmonico@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
I’ve had excellent service from Chimney Doctor, LLC. Nathan O’Neil goes way beyond expectations in meticulously cleaning chimneys, and is very considerate of protecting property and cleaning up after. He’s restored my rusty wood-burning stove to like-new condition. Plus his rates are reasonable. You won’t be disappointed in this local, small business.

A SLIP OF THE TONGUE..

Recently someone referred to THE DON
“The Don (also known as Overboss, Crime Boss or Godfather) (literally meaning Sir) is the leader of a crime family. The Don receives a cut of every operation taken on by every member of his family. Depending on the family, the Don may be chosen by a vote from the caporegimes of the family.”

Oregon Auditors Find 2.9 billion in errors in state government

Submitted By: dixiedarrow@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
What’s going on in Oregon? Are you wondering?

The following is an excerpt from an article from Dennis Lithicum who is running for state treasurer.
The mainstream media hopes that if they don’t report the facts, or communicate things that are actually true, then the truth will never come out or even see the light of day.

Is that how truth works—NO!

Truth is not consensus. Truth doesn’t come from polling data; Truth is Truth. Every human heart knows this, regardless of how they view it, ignore it, review it, redact it or clean it up.

Here’s one for you: this year, Oregon’s State Auditors discovered $2.9B worth of errors across 11 Oregon state agencies and organizations.

This is akin to misplacing 2,900 homes, worth $1M each. That’s a lot of million-dollar homes to misplace in a state with only 4.2 million people.

It turns out existing office-holders do not survive because of the pristine, error-free and benevolent nature of their policies, but through the sustenance of their power. But, like the decay that besets an old carcass in the desert, their power is slowly diminishing.

This is mainly because of the hard truths spilling from the news. These realities can no longer be ignored – inflation, housing, transportation, energy, food supplies, public-service degradation, forest management, air quality, immigration, organized crime, cartels, fentanyl, and behavioral health are all signposts that demand accountability.

Unfortunately, each of these issues aren’t just newspaper headlines, they are the issues of life. They impact real people, people who live and work in our neighborhoods.

When people are drained of hope, free-volition and responsibility they become like leaves blowing in the wind. The majority party seems to relish this state of affairs because they believe these individuals should be huddled up and pushed about in various government programs. They think of government like an all-controlling, super-duper leaf-blower.

But… what if people want to control their own lives?

What if Oregonians want freedom? This is the heart of my campaign—give people freedom as their inherent right. Show them the accountability, transparency, and truth that their tax-dollars so rightly deserve.

We should never be afraid; we should argue for truth at every step and remember freedom is costly. Oregon alone can restore its renown by winning freedom with its own hands and restoring our state’s former stature, in this upcoming election.

This article was written by Dennis Lithicum who is running for State treasurer against Sen. Elizabeth Steiner.
In my opinion voting for a Democrat for treasurer is like voting for a fox to watch the hen house.

Every so often the pendulum gets knocked off its rocker:

rumble.com/v5c6cw4-trump-and-rfk-jr.-together-are-running-to-the-left-of-kamala-harris.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp

This speech below by a KENNEDY, who is JUST LIKE JOHN AND BOBBY, is why so many of us former Democrats now fully reject the party and prefer to take a risk with The Don, who, by the way, is the only president of my lifetime NOT to start a new war, despite the CIA attempting to bait him into Iran, and into Syria to turn Obama’s dirty war in that country into overt war. The Don refused to start those wars, and he refused to push Russia into war via Ukraine. He likes Russia, remember? But the dems took office and were more than happy to provoke Russia to war along with the other NATO warring countries, which they did, and now 600,000 Ukrainians are dead, and that country is destroyed.

I’ve worked with two Ukrainian refugees, and I can assure you the destruction of Ukraine is very real; their lives were destroyed by NATO and American Democrats for military-industrial dollars.

In all this Gaza stuff, STILL NOTHING about Ukraine from the ‘Not Another Bomb’ fake anti-war crowd…

RFK, Jr. is the LAST Democrat in my view, his words below make the rest of the party – The New/Woke Democrats – unrecognizable as the Democrats I once knew.

NEVER AGAIN

Submitted By: dixiedarrow@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
The Covid pandemic was used to fundamentally change the relationship between US citizens and their government.

The government’s public health response wasn’t a medical response, but instead a test of technocratic power: to see how the population would respond to totalitarian edicts masked as medical interventions.

The government also selected the lockdown winners and losers, transferring nearly 4 trillion dollars of wealth from the middle class & small businesses to Sillicon Valley and big box stores.

There have been NO corrections and No apologies—because the government wants to be able to do it again.

That is why we are hearing all the hoopla now about monkeypox and bird flu and yet are experimental vaccines.

We CANNOT let this happen again. We MUST
resist.

Fantastic Cats Available for Adoption

Submitted By: Coastbbqfree@protonmail.com – Click to email about this post
Meet Olive and Isis. They are currently in a foster home and available for adoption through United Paws of Tillamook. Are you looking for adult cat companions? These young cats have fantastic personalities! Olive (tabby) is the classic entertaining, cartoonish cat to have around the house – she wrestles her mirror image, loves to lounge and gaze out the window, and tells you about her day with her very sweet vocalizations. Isis (sable brown) is the lover of the two – she wants to snuggle next to you for pets, lounge in her favorite chair, and follow you around the house. They enjoy playing with toys, both independently and with a human. Olive performs incredible gymnastics when chasing the feathers on a wire, while Isis makes lightening-fast moves to secure the prey.
If one or both of these girls sound like the friend(s) you’ve been looking for, check them out at unitedpaws.wordpress.com on the Adoptable Kittens and Cats page.

Come By the EVCNB Tent at the Manzanita Farmers Market, Friday, August 16

Here’s what the Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay (EVCNB) will be up to at the Manzanita Farmers Market this Friday, August 16th.

Our Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) will be onsite, at The Manzanita Farmers Market, early to start erecting our tent. This is also considered a training activity. It remains critical that as many people as possible be familiar with the tent set up process. These tents are being utilized by local governments and EVCNB as a means to shelter large numbers of displaced people following any disaster.

Inside the tent will be team leads and representatives from all of our preparedness and response programs. Learn more about the CERT program and how you can contribute. Our Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WaSH) team will have equipment to show. WaSH classes are scheduled for the upcoming months, so take a chance to find out how this can benefit you and your family.

The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) and shelter teams can inform you of our local resources should we need to call on them. The communications team will have their innovative Solar GoBox (SGB) on display. It gives us the ability to communicate when other sources like the internet and cell phones are not working. Learn more about how you can be trained to use an emergency radio “Yellow Radio” to get in touch with neighbors.

The Nehalem Bay Fire and Rescue Team will be in our same area. Team members and equipment will be there.

We encourage everyone to take the chance to stop by and learn how EVCNB can help you be prepared.

Can’t wait to see you all at the Manzanita Farmers Market!

ON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT

Submitted By: dixiedarrow@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
I haven’t heard of anyone in the Legislature who supports Measure 118 on the Nov. 5 ballot. The initiative would increase business taxes in order to give most Oregonians an annual tax rebate estimated at $750.
During a virtual town hall last month, several Portland-area lawmakers denounced the proposal, which was going through the signature verification process as Initiative Petition 17. Rep. Lisa Reynolds, D-Beaverton, called it “a totally twisted version of the kicker.”
“It’s another example of out-of-state monied interests using Oregon’s low bar to get something on the ballot to create an experiment here in Oregon,” she said. “It happened with Measure 110, which we had to roll back after a lot of gnashing of teeth. And so there will be very concerted efforts by many people, including elected officials, to defeat IP 17.”

Rep. Dacia Grayber, D-Portland, added, “If there is a legislator supporting it, they’re supporting it very quietly.”
Opponents are not quiet. Led by Oregon Business & Industry, a lengthy list of groups created a coalition against the measure, contending it would implement the largest tax increase in state history. 
Oregon Senate Republicans issued a press release Wednesday unanimously opposing the measure and thanking Gov. Tina Kotek for also opposing it. The Taxpayers Association of Oregon put it this way last week: “The tax is so bad, even Gov. Kotek is against it. That’s bad.”

Response to Manzanita Water Fund

Submitted By: mkuestner10@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
The good news is that the Manzanita Budget Comm. reviewed this year’s budget, including Indirect Cost Allocation methodology this Spring. With no axe to grind, and dealing with legal, municipal and cost realities, after rigorous discussions, the budget and methodology were voted on and approved by a unanimous vote of City Council. Half of the Budget Comm. consists of highly qualified volunteers who applied, were interviewed and then appointed by unanimous vote of our elected/appointed representatives. The other half of the Budget Comm. consists of the City Council and our highly qualified Chief Budget Officer, Leila Aman. This process, which by law happens every year, assures that the Manzanita budget is secure, legal and produced with the utmost professionalism. In contrast, resident Kugler wants Manzanita to follow his personal budgetary opinions, which consistently display an astounding lack of understanding of municipal budgeting or budgetary acumen. Every year, we hear the same tired, irrelevant tirades. A few years back, he even threatened to sue the city if they didn’t follow his opinions. Thank you to the City of Manzanita for following the law and common sense, and including resident input from all of us, not just a self-appointed “expert”. We have real problems to face and exciting opportunities facing the city. Let’s continue to focus on these, or actual challenges.

Superior Driveway paving and sealing

Submitted By: diannerbloom@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I tried for 5 years to get the strip of gravel between the county road and my cement driveway paved. No one was willing to do it or I was on their “list” and they never go to it. I was given the name of Olson Asphalt in Gearhart,(www.oamnw.com) they came out, gave me an affordable estimate and did an outstanding job. In fact, it is so good, I will no longer have the water from the road and drive running onto my patio. I would highly recommend them for your paving and sealing needs.

Kim, this is a great, succinct overview of Manzanita’s water fund and also indirect cost allocation. The subjects can seem abstruse and confusing, so your examples offer a refreshingly straightforward picture. We, as Manzanita residents can learn about the ins and outs of such finance, policy and legal issues by following city council meetings, budget committee meetings as well as Planning Commission meetings. The Budget Comm. in particular zeroes in on the specifics in minute detail. Having said that, to get a good overview without taking as much time, read relevant portions of the newsletter “Manzanita Today”: www.manzanitatoday.com/
Their website has some search capabilities to simplify research questions. And, of course one can ask questions!
