A valued community member brought to my attention my acknowledgement of candidates did not include those who ran unopposed. Given I am a commitment the NCRD and all in our 3 Villages endorse Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility (DEIA) as core values, it was an eye opener to see how easily people can be overlooked and the rigor it will take.

Candidates, please accept this acknowledgement of appreciation for those who have been in positions and saw their contribution was needed and wanted such that they applied again, thank you.

In retrospect, my comments toward Jack went too far, I apologize. Jack has been a committed, contributory board member for many years. Jack will be a very good mentor to those joining the board in July.

more cover for vax injury??

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Here is another article covering for vax-induced stroke.

Why is the denial of the SARS-CoV-2 ‘vaccine’ injury so widespread in America? We accept that EVERY OTHER vaccine can cause vaccine injury. But not for ‘covid’???

Here is another article that is ACTUALLY about vaxxed folks having higher stroke rates, but the vax injury is being blamed on ‘covid’.

By the way, I and many others knew three years ago that big pharma planned to blame the uptick of vax-induced strokes and heart attacks on ‘covid’, while knowing full-well their vax was gonna cause strokes in tens of thousands of Americans.

Here is yet another disingenuous article (link below) about strokes, NOT ONCE mentioning if these folks were vaxxed.

And again, with 80%+ of Americans vaxxed, you can bet they were ALL vaxxed.

And again, if they were not vaxxed, the headline would SCREAM: “THE UNVACCINATED ARE DYING FROM STROKES AT HIGHER RATES!!! SHOOT YOUR PFIZER TODAY OR YOU WILL BE CONSIDERED A RACIST TRUMPIAN FOOL!!!”

It should SCREAM: “THOSE WHO GOT VAXXED ARE DYING FROM STROKES AT HIGHER RATES!!! WE NEED AND INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION NOW!!!”

Big Farma made a trillion bucks, they can and should be paying money to those whose loved ones were injured or killed by their never-before-tested ‘vaccine’.

Even if you think the global vaccine roll-out was worth it overall, those hurt from vaccine injury should be compensated. Why not? Bill Gates and Mode RNA don’t have enough money to share with those they hurt and/or killed? 500 new billionaires from this scam, and they can’t share a few million bux with the families destroyed by their ‘vaccine’?

And by the way, it was TRUMP that decided those injured by this new mRNA technology cannot file suit in America, like they are allowed to do in Britain and most other countries. Yup, Orange Man started it.

America compensates folks who get injured by all vaccines except the brand new, experimental mRNA technology millions put into their bodies. That alone should tell you that you are being lied to, that the covid shots do cause injuries, mainly strokes and heart attacks.

Here is some of the propaganda, aka ‘fake news’, being promoted by Big Farma-loving Yahoo! News. Again, not one mention of the mRNA shots, at all. As if they don’t exist and they could NEVER cause vaccine injury!

“Stroke patients who tested positive for COVID-19 are often younger and have multiple large vessel occlusions (blockage of a blood vessel). Patients with COVID-19 have more severe blockages in multiple blood vessels in their brain because these vessels were inflamed due to COVID. That means there’s a higher likelihood of developing a blood clot anywhere in the body, particularly the brain.

“Researchers have looked closely at the data and found that COVID-19 patients with large vessel occlusion were nearly 10 years younger, with an average age of 62.5 years. That’s compared to the average of 71.2 years without COVID-19,” Anwar said.”

The entire article, with NO mention that these stroke victims were vaxxed.

The vaccine is what’s responsible for the increase in strokes and heart attacks, not SARS, and these increased rates for strokes and heart attacks for the ‘vaccinated’ will continue over the next several years as this grand experiment plays out:

Oh! Brave New World HB 2002

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: dixiegainer@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
This bill is about removing parental control from minor children of any age, and focuses on reproductive health and gender care.Removing oversight and control by parents is why it is so bad.

If passed, this bill gives your child, of ANY age, the right to make choices about its gender and wether or not it wants reproductive services and gender help.

The child will receive this help from health and mental health services through the school system. The providers of these services MAY NOT DISCLOSE to the minors parents, or legal guardian information regarding the information and services provided unless the minor has authorized the disclosure in writing, or it is authorized under ORS 192.567 or it is required under federal law. Can you see a very young child navigating this? Our state constitution guarantees
abortion rights to 15 years and up, without parental consent.

Why target younger children with this bill? It is not about abortion, sex education, birth control, it is about REMOVING PARENTAL RIGHTS! They will not know what is happening to their child.

Parents love their children, they care about their happiness, that they do well in school, and feel successful.

The educational system does not love your child. They do not really know much about your child,
or its health, not as much as parents do. They are paid to educate your child and personally I think they have forgotten that. Aside from that – gender change has no place in decision making from school officials, nor do reproductive choices.

There are not many abortions given under the age of fifteen. Oregon statistics show no abortions under the age of fifteen. Most abortions are given at the age of 20.
This bill says that an individual at ANY age has the right to choose reproductive and gender care. Think about it!. ANY AGE!

Where we are going…….
mercatornet.com/the-world-health-organization-has-a-message-for-parents-sexuality-education-starts-at-birth/84241/

“The World Health Organization lays out its reason for teaching children aged 0-6 the detail of biological reproduction – that is, children who are still young enough to believe in Santa and the Tooth Fairy. By age 6, the WHO wants the education industry – presumably their teachers – to expose children to the concepts of intercourse, masturbation, and pornography.
This is where the changing world is going: Real-world results show a generation of increasingly sexualised children and moves to normalise paedophilia among activist communities under the guise of terms such as “minor-attracted persons”.

Your children are not safe in school if this bill passes. This bill is written as an “Emergency” which means the citizens do not get a chance to vote on it and like measure 110, the legal drug bill which has caused so much crime, It will be extremely hard to be removed.

The Republicans have walked out to prevent this bill from being passed.
The Republicans to me are heroes because under a bill that was passed (measures for dummies) last year by people who had no idea what they were voting for – they will not be able to run for election again.

But the Democrats in our legislature who seem to be enamored of Drag Queens reading to kids in school and libraries, and want everyone to be some kind of gender except straight, – they all voted for it. taking parental rights away.
Where do you draw the line?
OREGON HAS BEEN UNDER DEMOCRAT MAJORITY FOR 14/15 years. How’s it doin?

Where are the vaccine inuries in America?

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: andynorris21@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
The British government acknowledges that the experimental mRNA shots for SARS-CoV-2 have caused injuries and death. The British government has compensated many of those who have been affected.

In America, we are still pretending that vaccine injuries do not exist.

The most common vaccine injuries are strokes and heart attacks.

This post is for those who think that just maybe, just maybe, there is something fishy about Big Tech/Big Pharma’s trillion-dollar vax/shutdown scam.

You know, the tech-boosting global shutdown that made 500 brand new Big Pharma and Big Tech billionaires.

Here is a great example of how denial of vaccine injury works in America, from a Yahoo! article, link below:

“The American Stroke Association has also cited a Nature Medicine study that found a 52% increased risk of stroke among COVID-19 survivors, or about four more strokes per 1,000 people, a year after contracting the virus.”

The article doesn’t mention if these stroke victims were vaccinated. With 80% of Americans vaccinated, I am guessing they were. Maybe they got a SARS infection before or after taking the mRNA shots, but you can bet they were vaxxed.

If they weren’t vaxxed, the article would have SCREAMED: “UNVACCINATED PEOPLE HAVE MORE STROKES!!!!! SHOOT SOME PFIZER TODAY!!!”

Again, where are the vaccine injuries in America? Right there in the increased stroke rates, hidden from view by a disingenuous article and ‘study’ that didn’t bother to address vaccine injury AT ALL.

So next time the Big Tech bros. try and scare you and con you into shooting their junk, that you don’t need and never needed, maybe you want to think twice:

Erin for NCRD and more

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: constance@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
Dear Community,

The majority of ballots are counted, I am calling Erin Laskey-Wilson the ‘winner’ for the NCRD Board of Directors, position 2 and Damn! We both ran good, clean races. Erin will bring an intelligent, committed, and youthful energy to her position, which the board needs. I am proud of my campaign, I am proud to have been engaged and I’m grateful for those in my community who saw me, saw my commitment for the NCRD being for All. If you voted for me. Thank you!

Impressively, from our 3 Villages alone we had 11 candidates throw in their hats! They include Teah Laviolette; Erin Laskey-Wilson; Mary Leverette; Michael Howes; Mary Faith Bell; Landon Myers; Melissa Bayouth-Real; Betsy McMahon; Mary Gallaghar and Mark Johnson. We all chose to ENGAGE on this court of civic service. Regardless of who we individually voted for or endorsed, I am inspired by the commitment, courage and willingness of each and every one of us.

Last night the NCRD held a Town Hall for the new pool. Except, it was more of a presentation of why we need the pool and the value of the swim program. Have they forgotten it was THIS Community who passed a multi-million dollar bond two years ago to build the new pool? We know the value of the pool, we know the value of the swim program for our children. I believe this was a missed opportunity.

When the meeting became heated over decisions made without input from neighbors who are directly affected, Jack showed up as Jack shows up. I believe in an attempt to counter Jack’s dismissive responses, I was pleased and encouraged both Erin and Michael asked questions for working with and looking with those impacted for possible options. Mary suggested another meeting specific to these concerns be created, again not dismissing concerns and showing a willingness to hear. This is all our Community wants!

It is time Jack’s bullying, nature and disrespect of both community concerns and our voices being heard, be stopped. This board needs a Chair/President who creates surety for the context that Community Voices MATTER.

As a VERY concerned community member, committed to the NCRD being the best it can be AND supported by ALL in our 3 villages and beyond, I am making a request. At the upcoming June board meeting on Thursday June 8th at 6pm, I request Jack announce he will not accept a nomination to be Chair (President) of the NCRD Board of Directors. In July, regardless of Jack accepting/declining this request, I request Erin or Michael to nominate Frankie Knight or Mary Gallagher for the Chair position and a new Chair be elected. Jack is on the Pool Oversight committee. Jack has a banking background. Jack would do well as the Treasurer. Jack would do less harm.

The 5 year Operations Tax Levy is coming up in November, we just passed the NBHD bond creating competition for those tax dollars…if Jack remains as Chair I assure you, votes which may be necessary for its passage, may be lost.

Let’s Get Our Facts Straight, Kids.

Let’s Get Our Facts Straight, Kids.
On May 2 the Tillamook County Pioneer published my article, “Manzanita Musings: Transparency and Compensation” in which I wrote about the Manzanita City Manager’s performance review, which is now public information. On May 11 the Pioneer’s editor abruptly revoked my press credentials and executive meeting hall pass after receiving “a couple of emails and phone calls.” What happened in those nine days? Who wrote those emails and made the phone calls that triggered the editor’s decision? Enquiring minds want to know!
Under Oregon law my connection to the Pioneer has enabled me to observe city council executive sessions. I assume the Pioneer editor read my article before publication. She agreed that I hadn’t revealed anything from the session but accused me of bias for publicly asking Manzanita’s Mayor to resign. It’s true that I, and about two-dozen other citizens signed a public letter that called on the Mayor to cut ties with an advisor whose troubling emails were released by a public records request, but that public letter didn’t suggest that she resign.
Since we moved here full-time I’ve shared writing with the community that I hope either explains something confusing or sheds light on some dark corner that people are avoiding. Writing about things helps me understand them better.
That seemed to please people when I was writing about things like dune grading and outdated land use documents. As long as it was a critique of the previous governing body and how things were or were not done then, everybody was happy. Well, most everybody.
I became a problem to some people when I began asking questions about what was happening right now in city government. In a small town like this, you’d have to have your head in the sand to not recognize there is something funky going on and it doesn’t pass the smell test.
During the election year I spent time meeting and talking with members of council, people running for office, city staff and the city manager so I could know all the players and understand their perspectives on issues.
I’ve been accused by some of switching sides, as if the truth has a side. Well, maybe she does.
Here’s what happened.
Way back on March 14th, the editor at the Pioneer kindly asked me to be a regular contributor, and I gladly accepted. On March 26, I let her know that I had asked the city manager for permission to attend executive sessions and received it.
Before ever attending a closed session, I read the Oregon Department of Justice’s Handbook on Public Meetings thoroughly to make sure I understood the rules.
The preference for public meetings is that they are open to the public so every member of the community has the opportunity to hear and see information presented.
Executive or closed sessions are only allowed in certain situations and are defined as a meeting or any part of a meeting, which is closed to “certain persons for deliberations on certain matters” (Oregon DOJ Public Meetings Handbook p. 162).
When an executive session is called, representatives of the news media may attend to make sure that executive sessions are limited to the list of allowable reasons. It’s like a check on power to have media in a closed executive session.
Who represents the media? “. . . a news gatherer who has a formal affiliation with an institutional news medium. . .The news media includes specialty publications, which cover subject areas for a special audience, regardless of whether the publication’s specific area relates to the subject matter of a particular executive session” (Oregon DOJ Public Meetings Handbook p. 176).
Internet media counts but the news entity has to have a staff, a formal structure and publish news on a regular basis. Governing bodies like city council can adopt policies about access to executive sessions but they can’t be enforced, if they conflict with the rule that news media can attend. In other words they can’t pick and choose who gets to be present.
What are the rules about disclosure of information discussed at executive sessions?
“Governing bodies may require that media representatives not disclose specific information. . .Except in the rarest instances, the governing body at least should allow the general subject of the discussion to be disclosed, and it cannot prevent the discussion of the statutory grounds for justifying the session. . . (Oregon DOJ Public Meetings Handbook p. 177).
So a media representative may tell people who weren’t present what the meeting was about and why it counted as an executive session without violating the rules.
Does the Pioneer qualify as a news organization? Yes.
Do the op/ed pieces I write count as news gathering? Most of the time. Much of what I’ve written and posted about are the processes of city government. I’ve tried to educate and inform people as I’ve learned myself. I’ve been a regular contributor to the Pioneer for the past few months.
Do I have opinions about what I learn? Yes, I do. Sometimes what I learn changes my opinion, as it has about the mayor.
By the time I went to those two executive sessions, it was clear something had died in the City’s crisper drawer and it stunk to high heaven.
The articles I wrote for the Pioneer were about the rules and processes in city government, the health bond and my own experience with domestic violence. I did what I try to do with all my articles. I try to explain hard things that I want to understand better.
Ahead of the May 3rd council meeting, I submitted my article to the Pioneer on the performance review materials, which were now public documents on the City’s website. That isn’t a violation of the rules because it was all public information
So the documents were public when I wrote the piece, as was the subject of the executive session on the initial public meeting notice. Councilor Kozlowski’s role in the performance review, which I also touched on, is part of the duties of council president. It’s all public information.
At the May 3, Council Meeting, a public letter I signed as a private citizen not as representative of any news media, called on the mayor to cut her ties with an advisor whose emails bullying and berating two city managers and coaching the mayor to do the same were disclosed from a public records request.
Then on May 11th, the editor at the Pioneer emailed me to revoke my executive session privileges because unnamed individuals called and emailed to complain I violated the executive meeting rules and that, by signing the public letter, I was biased.
Since the May 3rd Council Meeting I’ve received hate mail and threats. I’m dropping the mic. You’ll come to your own conclusions. Like Edward R. Murrow used to say, Good night and good luck.

WHAT! THE BILL SAYS WHAT?

The question regarding 10-year-olds comes from Senator Knopp asking the question that if a 10 year old were to get an abortion would they be able to without the parent’s knowledge. The answer was yes from Legal Counsel. I will attach the video of the committee meeting that the question was raised.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alscwoIEqJc

Would children as young as ten be able to get birth control, prenatal care, gender changing hormones and gender changing surgeries without parental consent? The same answer – YES!
HB2002 – The Republicans have walked out to prevent this bill from being passed, but the Democrats ALL are voting for this – Because the Democrats in our legislature – DO AS THEY ARE TOLD! The age of consent has been changed to 0.
If there were any Democrats who would not vote for this bill than maybe the Republicans would not have to walk out
Anybody around here want to admit they are a Democrat?

Why ME for NCRD

Submitted By: constanceforncrd@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hello Community….. I imagine you may be tired of all the campaigning, me too! I want you to know I appreciate all who have voted for me and all who may still vote for me. I WANT YOUR VOTE.

I want this. I have been involved with the NCRD since 2008. I didn’t go to school here, I don’t have children in Programs at the NCRD and I use very few of the offerings of late. Regardless of not having those roots, I have been an out loud, consistent, contribution and promoter of NCRD and I am not willing to be resigned to; ‘you can’t please everyone,’ when actually you can, if service is a priority. The 3 Villages and beyond are customers of the NCRD and if ANYONE experiences not feeling at home, welcomed and supported, then staff needs to be evaluated and possibly changed.

The Board HAS to have Community service/support be the first priority and in the background for EVERY decision. The Board needs to be looking at how revenue is being driven and not allow another 2 years where very little new money comes in.

My name is Constance, around me People and Organizations excel, we get er done! I am asking YOU to vote for ME. Thank you

I’m 27 years old and I would really like to finish my AA and transfer to a 4-year college. But, I‘ve chosen to live on the Oregon coast, which has been an amazing experience. It’s a different kind of education. It’s enriching, just as continuing my formal education would be.

There’s a good community college nearby and I have been able to take a few classes and meet some great people that I’m sure I will know forever. I’m building a life here and it feels correct. A lot of people might not appreciate such a simple idea, but for people like me, people that are on their own and just doing the best they can, it’s a really big deal.

I have attempted to get myself more invested in pursuing the AA, as the path to getting it and moving forward has been made very clear to me. I know it will be a big accomplishment that moves my life in the direction I want. All I have to do is show up.

This is where the problem lies. I don’t drive. So, I either ask a friend or I take the bus. I can get my head around regular bus travel. I kind of like it. The real problem with my plight to attend college is that there is NO BUS at the TIME I need it. I work full time and the only classes that fit my schedule are in the evenings. Those classes end around 9pm. The bus to the college stops running at 7pm. This leaves me stranded about 15 miles from home. So, I don’t go to school right now. I just dream.

I watched the MooVoter candidate forums and was able to hear from the candidates for Transportation Board. I had never heard of any of these people, but in listening to them I knew they weren’t bus riders. Some said everything was fine and that is way off. Others touted technology as a solution. “No!” I shouted at the screen. An app won’t move me from point A to point B.

Despite my shouting at the screen I was also given some hope. The one candidate that stood out was Mary Leverette. Clearly, this person is smart, creative, calm, and although not a bus rider, I felt like she wanted to understand and that she would work hard to do just that.

In watching this forum, my dreams of getting back to aggressively pursuing this degree came alive. I’m voting for Mary Leverette for the Transportation Board. I don’t know if she can fix my particular situation, but I feel like she’s the only candidate that will try. I hope you’ll join me.

PS: The image is kind of how it feels to be me in this situation. I hope it helps sum things up. Please vote!

A healthy community needs leaders strong enough to take a stand. Each member of our council was elected for their knowledge, strengths and the unique skills they have to better our community. Strong leaders, problem solvers, do not use rules of Follow the Leader to decide what is best for the citizens…they listen to their constituents, ask questions, research alternatives, ask more questions, listen again, before decisions are made. No matter who is leading the charge, regardless of what their fellow councilors think, each individual council member has made a commitment to the people. Expectedly, to do the best job they can, make their decisions with thought and honesty….”There can be no daily democracy without daily citizenship” (R.Nadar)
I would like to commend Deb Simmons, Mayor of Manzanita, for exemplifying the role of city councilor. She is intelligent, respectful, a problem solver , strong in her beliefs, caring and a great listener. She saw a need, ran for office and has been a force to be reckoned with from day one. Her passion for citizen involvement is certain…she listens, researches, collaborates, and listens again. Mayor Simmons most definitely walks her talk.
Deb has been unjustly attacked, again and again, by the same group of unhappy campers, and she just moves on! She has too much too do in her Mayor job to be detoured by naysayers…my biggest kudos for her strength here.
Deb is 100% committed to the healthy growth of Manzanita and its citizens. I look forward to the day when the negative mudslinging stops, and we can all work together for a common goal…our city!
