Tarot Reading at Wild on Saturday

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: lane@lanedemoll.com – Click to email about this post
Local Nehalem artist Lane deMoll will be giving 3-card tarot readings at Wild in Manzanita this coming Saturday 12/14 from 1-4 pm. She’ll be using the deck she created. Readings will be 10-15 minutes for $20. Her deck will be available for sale during the afternoon.

Although Lane has been reading cards since 1995, the paintings in Lane’s Greenwitch Tarot were not done with a deck in mind. Rather they were created over the past 30 years of her own process and journey. She gives readings in her booth all summer at the Manzanita Farmer’s Market as well as longer in depth readings at her home.

Lane has lived in the community almost 50 years and helped start a number of local institutions including Fire Mountain School, CARTM Recycling, Lower Nehalem Community Trust, NeahCasa and Fulcrum Community Resources. More information about her, the deck and her paintings can be found on her website lanedemoll.com.

Gifts for Children Needed

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: maryfaith.bell@tillamookcounty.gov – Click to email about this post
Dear Neighbors,

Please consider providing Christmas presents for children of families impacted by domestic violence and sexual assault. Tides of Change (formerly the Tillamook County Women’s Resource Center) offers a loving and meaningful ‘holiday shopping’ experience, providing parents who have received services from Tides of Change the opportunity to “shop” (for free) and choose donated gifts for their children.

This year Tides of Change has received far more requests from families than ever before, forty more kids than last year are in need, and we urgently need for additional gifts in order not to have to turn parents away.

Giving is easy, go to: www.tidesofchangenw.org/holiday-giving
You can shop the Tides of Change gift registry on Amazon, choose gifts that are suggested, and Amazon will deliver them to Tides of Change. That’s what I did, it took five minutes. You can also drop off unwrapped gifts for children of all ages, donate gift cards (very popular with teens) or donate money for staff to buy gifts. Gifts will be received through December 20.

It is my hope that every child in Tillamook County will receive a gift this Christmas. Having grown up in a very poor family, my brother and sister and I received gifts from charity organizations for several years when we were small. I can tell you honestly that those gifts, which may have been small things to the givers, were huge for us. I vividly remember a shiny white patent leather purse that I received one Christmas when I was about seven years old. We were fortunate to get shoes that fit; there was no money for things we did not need, like a little girl’s purse, and I would not have dreamed of asking for one. Fifty-two years later I remember that pretty white purse, and how it filled me with wonder and happiness. It made my Christmas memorable and special, and it informed the person I would become, someone who cares about those less fortunate among us, particularly children.

If you imagine that your gift of a Nerf ball or a gift card or a child’s purse won’t really make a difference, you are mistaken. One small thing freely given has the power to change a child’s life. Thank you for giving as you can.

Happy holidays to you and your loved ones,

Mary Faith Bell
Tides of Change board chair
Tillamook County Commissioner

Is It a Bird, Is It a Plane…….

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

NO, And its not Trump either! It is the Oregon governor and the Oregon legislature with a new TAX! Smile now!

By Taxpayers Association of Oregon

OregonWatchdog.com
The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) says it has a massive budget hole of $1 billion to $1.7 billion due to a host of factors (lawsuits, declining gas tax revenue, inflation, cost over-runs, exploding labor costs, rising county needs, government pension, etc.)
ODOT actually mapped out a possible 75-cent gas tax increase plan.

Most likely ODOT will try to balance the cost with other taxes such as various DMV fees, title fees, registration fees.   Under this more likely plan, ODOT has projected out a 35-cent gas tax
.
A 35-cent gas tax is outrageous and will spike the cost of every item on the grocery and retail shelf.

A 35-cent gas tax will be on top of Oregon existing gas tax — rated in the top 10 most expensive state gas taxes in the nation.

A 35-cent gas tax will be on Oregons already high gas prices.  Data Pandas ranks Oregon as the fourth highest gas price state in 2024.
AND….
A surge of last minute votes* for Democrat challenger and labor organizer Lesly Muñoz has worked to defeat incumbent State Representative Tracy Cramer.   This secures the Democratic Party candidates at 60% vote control in both the Oregon State House and Oregon State Senate.  At the much watched 60% vote margin it is a super-majority where it is not only a comfortable lead it is also the legal threshold to pass tax increases.
* A surge of last minute votes from a dirty voter registration list sounds suspicious to me but what the heck!

what I’m talking about

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: dwieb1@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
We just watched The View this morning and Bill Clinton was the guest.
Shortly afterwards I saw a news story online by ABC headlined: “Bill Clinton indicates he hopes Biden doesn’t issue preemptive pardons”
WHAT??? Do they have AI making this stuff up, or is it just sloppy journalism? Worse yet, intentionally malicious?
Anyone who watched the interview knows Clinton was referring to Trump seeking retribution against his list of political enemies when Clinton said “I hope he won’t do that.”
Instead, ABC extrapolated that into something, immediately prior in the interview, Clinton specifically said he wouldn’t do! And now ABC’s headline is all over the media. Will anyone at ABC correct or retract it? “I don’t think so Tim” (as Al Borland often said on Home Improvement).
All I can say is we can do better. Meanwhile don’t let them get away with it.

Heard on the bench

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

“Heard on the Bench”*
Today’s episode happened at the Motor Vehicle Department. There were four us waiting our turn, 2 men and 2 women. I started out with the man and opened with, “Somehow you look familiar?”. It’s a safe subject and with my 45 years in the county, maybe they should be familiar.
It turned out he was the nephew of a man I worked closely with at the cheese factory for decades. I told him about how his uncle would wheedle me into making repairs and modifications without pesky paperwork. He got a good laugh out of my story
Then I went on to the tricky question, “How do you feel about this last election?” He gave me a “thumbs-up” sign and smiled and said. “I’m so glad we kept the Democrats out.”
When I asked him why, it was, “They’re baby-killers and want to turn all our young people gay.”
I spent a lot of time this election season with a lot of Democrats from all over and I just can’t remember any of them ever advocating any of those positions.
I responded with “I think what you call baby killing is a religious belief not all of us share. Jewish people don’t call it a baby until it draws its own breath. Maybe you’re right, maybe they’re right.”
He countered with, “I’m a born-again Christian and there’s no baby-killing in the bible.”
One of the women entered the conversation with, “What about the 10th. Egyptian plaque of killing the first-born children, in Exodus.”
A couple of numbers were called out and our group dissolved. Conversation stopped but I think we were all left with a lot to think about.
The idea of God being involved in after birth abortions never crossed my mind before. But it’s there it is, in the Bible.
Our way of “framing” defines us.
For him, it was a very simple, “Democrats are baby killers and want everybody to be gay.”
For me, it’s a very simple, “I like freedom and I don’t like government control. It’s really none of my business what a woman wants to do with her body. It’s really none of my business how someone wishes to express their sexuality. It shouldn’t be any business of the government either.”
I’d like to think I’m right, but nobody bats 1000%.
As always, discussion is welcome at codger817@gmail.com

Save our wetlands! Support the Appeal!

Neighbors and Friends: Join Us Tonight for RB City Decision on Nedonna Wave Appeal
The effort to save the Nedonna Beach wetlands continues. As you know, the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition filed an appeal of the Rockaway Beach Planning Commission’s approval of the proposed Nedonna Wave Planned Unit Development, Phase 2 (PUD-24). Thanks go to those who have attended or watched both the Rockaway Beach Planning Commission meetings and the City Council meetings regarding the appeal. Special thanks go to those who have given in-person testimony and/or have submitted comments to the City. The level of public support for the appeal has been strong and heartening. Plus the yard signs with the image of a kingfisher have helped generate attention to the environment that would be lost or further imperiled by allowing this PUD to be built.

Please consider attending one final Rockaway Beach City Council meeting regarding this issue on Wednesday, December 11 at 6:00 p.m. At that meeting, the Council will deliberate and decide either to support the appeal of Nedonna Wave or reject it. This will be a regular agenda item and, it seems, this will be one of the first items to be decided. (In other words, it shouldn’t be necessary to sit through the whole meeting to hear the decision.) The more people who show up in person (or who watch on Zoom), the better. City Council members need to see that we are not indifferent to this development. The appeal records have now been closed; therefore, no more testimony will be accepted. However, it is still important to show support for the appeal by attending in person or by Zoom, talking with neighbors and friends, posting on social media, and writing letters to the media. City Council meetings take place at Rockaway Beach City Hall; 276 Hwy 101; Rockaway Beach, Oregon.

To attend by Zoom go to: us06web.zoom.us/j/84950026492pwd=mmfbausHKydtb87Aas6O63JJKC9BQK.1
