Manzanita Conversations with Councilors, Correction

Submitted By: mkuestner10@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Thanks to Bay City Mayor, David McCall for correcting the amount I quoted that Bay City assesses for permanent property taxes per $1,000. The chart I used had the incorrect data, sorry to have passed that along!
There’s a great article in the newsletter Manzanita Today (2/14/2022) that has two charts, one showing local cities with their property tax rates per $1,000. and the following one how much STR taxes (TLT) they rely on in their General Funds. It’s a good illustration of which cities rely heavily on these funds to stay afloat: drive.google.com/file/d/1_LQYpKo1g7pgD4R-SrlYX3QrzpZ8WfJT/view To see the charts, please scroll down to page 8.
The next Conversations with Councilors is tomorrow, so if you have ideas about their current topic: Revenue Diversification: Possible Prepared Food Tax in Manzanita? Sign up!

NW Authors Series Presents E. Lily Yu

Submitted By: info@cannonbeachlibrary.org – Click to email about this post
Library to Host Award-Winning Sci Fi Author

The NW Author Speakers Series will host Washington science fiction and fantasy writer E. Lily Yu for a talk at 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 18. At the author’s request this will be an in-person only event at the library; the presentation will not be recorded or livestreamed. Books will be available for purchase and signing.

Yu received the Washington State Book Award for Fiction in 2022, the Artist Trust LaSalle Storyteller Award in 2017 and the Astounding Award for Best New Writer in 2012. Her stories have been finalists for the Hugo, Nebula, Locus, Sturgeon and World Fantasy Awards.

Yu’s debut novel “On Fragile Waves” was listed in the New York Times Best Science Fiction and Fantasy Books of 2021 and the Publishers Weekly Best Books of 2021. It is the story of Firuzeh, a young girl whose family flees war-torn Afghanistan for greater opportunities in Australia. Firuzeh finds hope and comfort in the fairy tales her parents spin about life in Australia, but eventually has to find a way to deal with the reality of life as an immigrant.

Critics have described “On Fragile Waves” as a “knockout,” an “exquisite and unusual magic realistic debut” and a book that “will enchant readers of both literary fiction and fantasy.”

Yu’s debut short story collection, “Jewel Box: Stories,” also met with critical acclaim, with critics describing the 22 stories in the collection as “mini-masterpieces.”

The stories, a mix of science fiction and fantastical tales, include a Muslim businessman who doesn’t appreciate the glories offered to him by an angel; a roadside lamp that declares its love for a handsome human; a cyberpunk retelling of a Greek myth; a woman obsessed with staircases; and other stories told in what one critic has called “an utterly unique voice—poetical yet clear-eyed, hard-nosed yet romantic.”

Yu’s forthcoming book, “Break, Blow, Burn & Make: A Writer’s Thought on Creation” is a guide to creation and creativity.

THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG
By Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer & Henry Shields
Directed by: Frank Squillo

Part Monty Python, part Sherlock Holmes, this Olivier Award-winning comedy is a global phenomenon guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter!

Welcome to opening night of the Cornley University Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous.

This 1920s whodunit has everything you never wanted in a show—an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines).

Nevertheless, the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences!

Brown Sectional Sofa For Sale

Submitted By: janbehrs@hotmail.com – Click to email about this post
My family loves this sectional couch, as it is very comfortable – and long enough to nap on. But it is too big for my space.
It is 96 inches on the long side with the arm and 78 inches on the shorter side.
It has a couple of spots of minor damage (I usually have it covered with throws or blankets).
Comes apart into two sections, but you will need strong people to haul it.

Correction to Manzanita Talks with Councilors

Submitted By: dmccalltillamook@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
In Manzanita Talks with Councilors, posted on May 10th, incorrect data was used when comparing Manzanita’s permanent tax rate ($0.42/1000) with Bay City’s. Bay City’s permanent tax rate is $1.5375/1000.
It is likely that the number Mr. Kuestner used included our operating levy for fire services, which is not a relative comparative for Manzanita, since Manzanita is part of NBFR.
TLT is also not a relative comparative, since Bay City’s much-lower TLT revenues are all subject to the 70-30 split, whereas some of Manzanita’s are grandfathered and can be used for general services and operations.

While each of our cities is unique, we face similar challenges in terms of trying to balance budgets and identify additional funding to maintain (and improve) the services we provide.
