SAVE OUR WETLANDS! – SUPPORT THE APPEAL!
Wednesday, December 11 at 6:00 pm: Rockaway Beach City Council Meeting.
Please attend the upcoming City Council meeting where council members will vote on whether or not to support the appeal filed by Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition against the proposed Nedonna Wave Planned Unit Development (PUD-24). During the November 20th City Council hearing, a decision was made to defer the vote until the meeting on December 11. North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection is urging all community members to attend and make it clear that we prioritize the protection of our wetlands over allowing a developer to profit at the expense of our environment.
City Council meetings take place at Rockaway Beach City Hall; 276 Hwy 101; Rockaway Beach, Oregon. To attend by Zoom go to corb.us for more information. NCCWP extends sincere thanks to all those who contributed written and oral comments in support of the appeal. We also express our gratitude to the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition and the Crag Law Center for their invaluable guidance and legal support. The Public Hearing is now officially closed, meaning no further evidence, arguments, or testimony can be submitted to the City Council. However, it is still crucial to continue supporting the appeal. We encourage you to attend the upcoming meeting on December 11th, engage in discussions with neighbors and friends, share information on social media, and write letters to the media to keep the momentum going.

Biden’s Farewell Address

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: genedieken@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
Just a response to Dixie Gainer’s abridged post of Ron Paul’s opinion piece on the authorization to use US weapons and technology to strike targets proximate to the Russian border (within 250 miles or so). Now we are also seeing some American air support for rebels trying to overthrow the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria.
First let me acknowledge that Ms Gainer has many times demonstrated her fealty to what one might call the traditional Republican Party, the party that would be familiar to those in their mid-30s and older. I never supported that GOP, but it did have some reassuring qualities. I’ll simply assert here that that party no longer exists and has been replaced by something far darker.
Now about the Pauls. Both former Congressman Ron and current Senator Rand are proponents of the so-called Libertarian movement, an incomplete philosophy that strove for maximum liberty, minimum government, and no responsibility being placed on the wealthy/powerful who benefit maximally from the society created by every citizen (the commonweal). Libertarianism is now not much liked across the political spectrum except for the Silicon Valley/tech-bro community such as Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, Peter Thiel, J.D. Vance, Larry Ellison, etc. who have rebranded it as “techno-utopianism.”
More important for this conversation, the Pauls are known to be emphatic supporters of (if not agents for) Russia. The quiet part has been said out loud, many time over the years. This has been a very noticeable trend in the GOP for years (google: Maria Butina) and now shapes Donald Trump’s policy toward Russia (google: Helsinki Summit). Thus I won’t ascribe much trustworthiness to anything either Paul says. And I’ll also assert here that the above-mentioned tech-bros have more connection with Russia than we should be comfortable with (google: Musk calls Putin regularly).
Biden’s recent authorization to use US weapons across the Ukraine border IS troubling. But the US and NATO have resisted this for three years as the Russians carried on an aerial war of obliteration largely against civilian targets in Ukraine. Russia and Syria worked this same game plan in Syria as Assad obliterated nearly the entire city of Aleppo over the years. Same game plan in Grozny, Chechnya. Where do we draw lines? It’s pretty clear where the once and future President and his captured GOP will draw them.

Helping Hands Reentry Outreach Centers to Open 40 More Beds in Tillamook County.
The Tillamook Hope Center at the Jason Gooding Campus will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony on December 10, 2024 to celebrate the expansion and give community partners a tour.
As the homelessness crisis in Oregon continues to grow, Helping Hands Reentry Outreach Centers is about to expand its capacity to serve the people who need it most with an additional forty beds in Tillamook County. The Tillamook Hope Center has been operating on the first floor of the Tillamook Naval Headquarters Building since 2015. Thanks to a partnership with Columbia Pacific CCO, Helping Hands was able to renovate the second floor to add an additional forty beds, while still maintaining the historic integrity of the building. On December 10, 2024 at 12:00pm, Helping Hands will be officially opening the addition and will have times for the members of the public to come and tour the facility at 1:30pm and 2:30pm.
Key Highlights about the Tillamook Hope Center:
In 2023, 18,778 meals were served here.
Helping Hands is on track to serve more individuals in 2024 than in 2023.
52% of people staying at the Tillamook Hope Center last year were chronically unhoused.
The fastest growing populations served are mothers with children and senior citizens.

The Grand Opening of the expansion of the Tillamook Hope Center will be an opportunity to learn more about what services and resources are available for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the community. Alan Evans, Founder & President, Mike Davis (CEO), will be available to answer questions.
Please contact Bethany Verrett, Communications Manager, at b.verrette@helpinghandsrenetry.org, 458-278-9916 with any questions about the event.
###
Helping Hands Reentry Outreach Centers was founded in 2002 by Alan Evans, after over two decades of living on the streets. He was removed from an abusive home and sent to foster care at age 11, but when his circumstances didn’t improve, he ran away and was homeless and addicted by age 13. The mission of Helping Hands is to provide HOPE and CARE through personal, trauma-informed programs to individuals experiencing homelessness. The mission of Helping Hands is to provide a helping hand to a sustainable life through Resources, Recovery, and Reentry.  Our programs are Trauma-Informed, Data-Driven, and Person-Centered; we take the time to learn each individual’s story and help connect them to the appropriate local resources and services to meet their unique needs. Learn more about our work at helpinghandsreentry.org.

Biden’s Farewell Message

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: dixiedarrow@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
The interim between a US presidential election and the swearing in of a new Administration has for most of our history been a non-eventful period where the outgoing Administration winds down operations and the incoming Administration ramps up new personnel before the inauguration. Something about losing the popular and electoral vote has led Biden’s people to disregard the threat of WWIII and give the green light for attacks with US missiles deep into Russian territory. That means that American military officers are shooting American missiles into Russia – something unimaginable even in the depths of the cold war. The American people did not vote for an expansion of war, either in eastern Europe or the Middle East. A recent CBE News/YouGov poll has shown that a majority of Americans favor an end to all US military aid to Ukraine. Upending the card table just because you lose the game not only shows blatant disregard for the “democracy” his party constantly preached on the campaign trail, but by pouring gasoline on these two very dangerous conflicts as he heads for the door President Biden puts each and every one of us in grave danger. This abridged version of the article was taken from RonPaulInstitute.org.
