Governor Brown released many convicted persons early. After being released one criminal killed 4 people. Governor Brown granted early release to 10 convicted murderers without notifying families of the victims of this fact. She also granted early release to 975 convicted felons. (in California. a now “trashed” state – they did the same thing) Keep criminals where they belong – which is on the street – I guess.
Governor Tina Kotek would expand the “earned discharged program,” which now lets people on probation, people who have served sentences in local jails and people whose prison sentences began on or after Jan. 1, 2022, reduce their supervision by up to half if they meet their goals.!!
So I assume that this “works”? It reduces crime? But Gov Tina Kotek says we need to have our homes taxed because we need to fund “public safety” because crimes are becoming so out of control. Public Safety is under siege.
So which is it? Too much crime or not?
Gov. Kotek says, after implementing Democratic measures to reduce crime (measure 110), that we have too much crime.
Because everyone in Oregon knows by now that measure 110 was disastrous because it increased crime and deaths by addiction. Another measure is looking to fix this but the criminals will still on be the street and the FIX won’t be a FIX. But taxes from marijuana sales will still flow into the capitol. SHHHHh – thats the most important thing!
So this new measure will keep people quiet maybe for about 6 months.

Included with this machine is the table and Industrial motor.
I have used this for alterations and art projects. It’s been in a shed that I use for a studio. I don’t have the space and want a smaller machine. It works great. She has a few minor rust spots-see in photos. I have kept a cover on it. It will need a new belt. They are easy to find online.
If you are interested please email me at pastoraltextiles@gmail.com
Only a few spots left so sign up today!

CRIMES OF THE HEART:
This darkly comedic play by Beth Henley delves into the messy lives of the Magrath women, each grappling with their own “crimes of the heart.”
Under a searing Mississippi sun, the Magrath sisters’ fragile lives shatter when Babe, the youngest, shoots her philandering husband.
Summoned home, the eldest, Lenny, wrestles with small-town stagnation and dreams of escape.
Meg, the middle sister, a washed-up singer, drowns her past in whiskey, returning with secrets clinging to her like Spanish moss.
As Babe’s legal storm brews, the kitchen of their childhood home becomes a pressure cooker of buried memories and blistering truths.
Past resentments erupt, revealing the scars of their mother’s suicide and their father’s desertion.
Their eccentric cousin Chick stirs the pot, while their flamboyant lawyer Barnette offers shaky legal support and a dash of unexpected romance.
This Pulitzer Prize-winning play paints a bittersweet portrait of Southern women struggling to rise above their “crimes of the heart” and embrace the promise of a brighter future.

Hello all, another beautiful day in Paradise! As some of you know we’re in the middle of the annual Girl Scout cookie drive.
With a strong commitment to empower our young people, I’ve taken on supporting Abby in her goal of selling 1000 boxes of cookies! I’ll be bringing 20 + boxes for purchase @ $6 per box to our NBGC meeting Tuesday at the Calvary Church in Manzanita, 1:30. Have you ever considered freezing them? What an inexpensive, surprising, tasty gift (Christmas)? Please bring cash or a check, thank you! I’ll also have a QR code for easy ‘tech-wise’ payments.
I’m looking forward to SRO for the always entertaining, always informative Ketzel to talk “Strategies for Thirsty Plants: Some Just Gotta Go”
See you Tuesday! $$

My partner and I just moved to Tillamook County a few months ago. We are currently looking for a rental between Rockaway and Tillamook starting in May. I have my teacher’s license and am substituting in the Neah Kah Nie and Tillamook districts, and my partner works for a non-profit in Tillamook. We both have great credit and can offer references. We are currently paying 1400 per month and are hoping to find something comparable. We also have farm and landscaping experience and would be open to an arrangement where we exchanged working hours for subsidized rent. We have a sweet 60-lb dog (pictured). We both speak Spanish! Let us know if you might have any leads. Thank you!

This free event will feature readings from several North Coast poets, including the award-winning Robert Michael Pyle, as well as Jim Dott, Jennifer Nightingale, Reba Owen, Logan Garner, and Lauren Mallett. Their poetry selections will be inspired by, and celebrate, our temperate rainforest ecosystem that has forests and bodies of water which serve as muse for many of us living in the area.
Robert Michael Pyle lives, writes, and studies natural history along Grays River in Washington’s heavily-logged Willapa Hills. His 1986 book Wintergreen is widely considered a classic testament to the resilience of life in the land of logging. His 28 books of essays, poetry, and fiction often turn to the woods and waters for their subject. Pyle is the recipient of two National Outdoor Book Awards, the John Burroughs Medal, as well as a Distinguished Service Award from the Society of Conservation Biology.
This first Forest Poets event is being coordinated by North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection and Fort George as a part of the brewery’s Thursday Lecture Series. Doors will open at the Lovell Taproom at 5:00 p.m., allowing time for mingling, food, and drinks before the event begins at 6:00 p.m. During the event, there will be a brief intermission. You will also get to hear from NCCWP about our current and upcoming plans in Clatsop and Tillamook Counties, and how you can get involved with efforts to safeguard and restore your local watershed. DON’T MISS IT!
