Commissioners NO CONFIDENCE RESOLUTION FOR OUR DA

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: capekiwanda@protonmail.com – Click to email about this post
This article is from the Tillamook County Pioneer. I also let Ms. Swanson know that she probably missed the budget hearing that followed the regular board meeting where the commissioners also decided not to pay for Olson’s liability insurance that she was asking for to pay for complaints made to the State Bar, and also not pay the criminal attorney she hired to represent the state to go after the whistleblower in the sheriff’s office and Sheriff Brown. Basically, Olson, our DA is attempting to “Brady” Sheriff Brown and another officer in a sexual assault case, which could discredit them as witnesses for the rest of their careers and could result in the loss of this case: Olson is perfectly fine with destroying two careers and letting another’s sexual predator walk free if she can discredit those who stood against her abuse of power. I encourage people to read the 208 page investigation is is far worse than I expected. It made me physically sick her lack of empathy or anyone, and passing the blame onto everyone else. She is beyond incompetent. We need to put pressure on her to resign.

Here is a definition of Brady in this situation
:
To “Brady” a police officer means to place them on a “Brady list” (also called a Giglio list or potential impeachment disclosure list), flagging them as having potential credibility or misconduct issues that prosecutors must disclose to the defense in criminal cases.

Here is the article that Ms Swanson did in the Tillamook County Pioneer.

TILLAMOOK BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS VOTES UNANIMOUSLY TO ADOPT RESOLUTION OF NO CONFIDENCE IN DISTRICT ATTORNEY, REMOVES SUPPLEMENTAL COMPENSATION
Posted on June 18, 2026 by Editor
At its June 17, 2026 meeting, the Tillamook County Board of Commissioners voted to adopt a resolution of no confidence in District Attorney (DA) Aubrey Olson. The board also approved to remove her supplemental compensation, which is an optional, county-provided, stipend that is dependent on job performance.
These actions reflect the board’s continued dissatisfaction with DA Olson after the county’s investigation into complaints filed with its Human Resources department by members of the public and county employees regarding the DA’s office.
The investigation substantiated 35 complaints related to professionalism; deficient prosecution of crimes; treatment of victims, their families and criminal justice partners; and concerns about interactions between county law enforcement and employees in the DA’s office. In total, 7 people submitted complaints, and several were related to the handling of serious crimes, including child sex abuse and domestic violence cases.

Since the findings were shared with DA Olson and the public, the county has not received further communication from the DA’s office outlining plans to address these concerns. In addition, DA Olson has served the county with criminal subpoenas demanding information that is unrelated to a criminal matter, to include who has complained about the DA’s office and how the county paid for its investigation.
The county also was notified of retaliatory behavior in the DA’s office towards a legally protected whistleblower who provided information to the investigator. The Human Resources department has issued a formal notice to the DA reaffirming whistleblower protections and directing that no retaliatory or adverse actions be taken towards the whistleblower.
Based on the investigation findings, improper use of criminal subpoenas, and retaliatory behavior, the board voted to express no confidence in DA Olson and determined her job performance did not justify the additional compensation. While a district attorney’s base salary is paid by the state of Oregon, a county supplemental stipend is meant to increase their overall compensation to a level that is commensurate with the character of service performed. (ORS 8.830)
District attorneys are elected state officials accountable only to county voters and not subject to county oversight. Nonetheless, the Board of Commissioners remains committed to accountability, transparency, and effective criminal justice for all Tillamook County residents.

Conscious Aging and Community Connections, July 13

Object Stories

“We identify with the objects we love, we love the objects we identify with.” – Sherry Turkle

We all have them. The cherished, resonant objects in our surroundings:
The arrowhead found in a cornfield
Grandpa’s fishing rod
A basket bought from a street vendor on that first trip to Belize
The cake plate that was a wedding gift
A painting just completed…

Such objects hold meaning, spark memories and become grounding talismans of our life experience.
Objects that can distill our ideas into something concrete; we bring them along through moves and transitions, as tangible evidence of who we are and who we have been.

At this month’s gathering, we invite you to choose an object that evokes important memories and/or a sense of identity for you. An object that you would want to bring with you, should you have to move to just one room at an assisted living facility. An object that would remind you who you are, when your other choices have diminished. Bring this item with you to the Conscious Aging and Community Connections event (or if it’s too large, bring a picture).

You will have an opportunity to tell the story of your cherished item, to explain what it evokes, and what meaning it holds within your unique life course. In the act of focused story telling, we may strengthen our connections, consider together our various life journeys, and continue our community conversation about aging consciously, and imagining our possible futures.

Come join us.

In case you missed the honey/syrup

Hi folks – first of all a big THANKS to all who came out to the Wheeler pop-up this week (I’ll do it again in mid-July).
NEXT IDEA – I will be passing thru north Tillamook County on my way to the Seaside/Warrenton/Astoria area this very MONDAY (June 22nd) – then returning back south on Tuesday afternoon. There is room for a few deliveries – be they on one day or the other – but I would need to know as soon as possible so as to put together a smooth schedule. It will be LAST CALL for the raw “wild country” Clover honey (not the typical Clover which comes off of farm crops – rather a free-range/different strain variety – super yummy – notes of cinnamon – some say it reminds them of apple pie) – $28 per quart. Also on hand will be the coast range Blackberry (Yaquina river basin) – $30 each, the always-spectacular Marcola Wildflower (quarts $30 – half-gallon $60 – full gallon $115) – and there are a few quarts of Meadowfoam still at $32 each.
Quarts of the current ‘vintage’ real Vermont maple syrup are $25 or you can take TWO for $45. Oregon’s chocolate sauce? OF COURSE – best deal is three-for $25.
Send a text to my cell to get on the schedule: 208-424-0042 – or e-mail: jwmerc@gmail.com – or by instant message to the JW Merc Facebook page. If you have a SPECIAL REQUEST for something not listed now would be a great time to submit it and I’ll see what I can do – see you either MONDAY or TUESDAY in north county – Clatsop County can be part of this as well (along the 101 corridor please) – JW

Tandem (Double) Seascape 2 Kayak

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: jansea2@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
We have enjoyed paddling our Seascape 2 tandem kayak manufactured by Northwest Kayaks for many years in both leisurely daytime excursions on the Columbia River as well as week long camping trips in the islands of British Columbia.
This kayak is extremely stable and has a high volume for storage, both in the dry hatches, and in the space between the two cockpits.The broad rudder makes it easy to maintain course even in strong winds and rough seas.
Our kayak is in good shape, no damage, but, of course, has a few years under its belt. We are including two fairly new neoprene cockpit covers (pictured in place in the kayak photos) as well as our neoprene sprayskirts (photos separate).
Seascape 2 Kayaks are about 20 feet long and weigh approximately 95 pounds.
New these cost several thousand dollars. Used prices vary…
We are selling our used one for $900.
