When will so-called ‘liberals’ apologize for their part in starting World War Three? What started as ‘liberal’ blood-lust (Putin is a homophobe and he stopped Hillary from getting into the White House!) is now ubiquitous blood lust. World War Three is here.

Civics groups should be planning for World War, not a tsunami. I know tsunami prep is trendy, easy, and one doesn’t have to think about how they created the war threat themselves, simply by voting for Joe Biden. But we are now at war and IT WILL IMPACT OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES. Prep for that Democrats of Wokezanita, prep for the war your last two presidents started.

I think so-called liberals could care less about Ukrainians, they just want to bomb the homophobic Russians. And now the war baton has been handed to the GOP war pigs. (Git ‘em Tucker! Link below)

This war would never have happened if Trump was president. Trump remains the ONLY presidential candidate that can stop World War Three, this years-long effort of the Democrats to start World War Woke, from way back in 2014 when Obama and then VP girl-sniffing homicidal creep Joe Biden overthrew the democratically-elected government of Ukraine.

Tucker Carlson is the ONLY anti-war voice I can find, and it’s a powerful voice he’s got.

And there ain’t an anti-war ‘liberal’ to be found. Not one nowhere. Because there ain’t no actual liberals to be found anywhere anymore, just a bunch of mind-controlled woke droids, pro-war, pro-vax, pro-masking your kids at school for no scientific reason whatsoever.

So we got to watch the Democrats destroy Portland, and now we get to watch them destroy the rest of American and much of the world, as happens in war.

Unless brave and smart folks like Tucker Carlson start to stand-up against World War Woke:

(Tucker was also smart enough NOT to shoot Bill Gates’ m-RNA junk)

There are so many compelling reasons to Vote YES for NCRD in November. The previously posted letters have outlined the many reasons why a Yes vote benefits the community.

I speak as a newcomer.

I first came to Nehalem on Memorial Day 2019 to shop at the Nehalem Bay United Methodist Granny’s Attic sale. I returned to go to a service in June. I was invited to lunch, met folks who were kind, welcoming and I began looking for ways to move out of the STR I had in Tillamook where I had been tutoring a young boy. I had been 12 months on the road, having a personal odyssey from my life in Maryland. I was tired, lost and literally without a home. I had been pet sitting and tutoring on Zoom. All I knew was that 28 years of being a wife, soccer mom, home owner and teacher in Maryland had ended.

The folks at NBUMC were quick to tell me about NCRD. I am sure it was Jane Knapp who told me to check it out. Next, Jennie Meyers invited me to a swim class she took in the morning. Before I knew it, I had found a yoga class on the schedule. I had been practicing yoga for about 10 years at that point. Actually, yoga and thrift sales were the only constants in my life before I landed in Nehalem.

The first yoga class I took was with Liz Carroll. She held an exceptionally wonderful class. Liz greeted me warmly and after I told her a quick version of why I was there, she offered to help me find a rental. It was her caring that kept me coming back.

I had practiced yoga in all the places I visited on my journey and not once had someone greeted me with such care and concern. To this day, attending Liz Carroll’s Restorative yoga class is a treat I give myself every week. When I took to the road again, in a travel trailer during COVID, I took her class on Zoom and did it on the single bed in my trailer!

I also love deep water swim, Tai Chi with Juli Stratton and Friday morning Gentle Yoga with Lucy Brook. Quite frankly I have never had one class at NCRD that wasn’t outstanding.

NCRD is more than a building or an organization. It is the place of employment of so many folks I have come to really enjoy seeing in action, like Kiley Konruff teaching a spin class before she sprints back to her job at the front office. It is also where I get to watch my talented neighbors perform in excellent community theater.

Will I vote yes? I will! I know the value it has brought to my life. I want to see it continue to be a place for recreation and connection for the entire community.

Hello Community members!

I’m writing you today to share my wholehearted support for the NCRD’s November renewal of our 5 year operational levy!

I know first hand the impact the NCRD has had on our community. If anyone followed my campaign, you’d know I learned to swim at the pool, my children learned to swim in the pool. Now my children participate at the NCRD sponsored sports programs, my husband and I are fitness members and our youngest daughter is finishing out her last year at New Discoveries Preschool. To say the NCRD plays a big part in my family life would honestly be an understatement.

The NCRD provides countless programs for us, from much needed child care, to overall heath and wellness. Our beautiful theater offers us entertainment and resources for the arts! All offered at subsidized rates, with additional scholarships to anyone in need to fill in the gaps!

Voting YES for the NCRD 5-year levy will NOT increase taxes.

Voting YES gives critical funding for ongoing services and programs.

Voting YES does NOT fund the new pool.

5 years ago the levy passed with overwhelming strong support! 72.9% voted yes! We collectively created the NCRD and continue to support and grow in the spirit that first saved the pool!

Join me in voting YES for the NCRD

Warmest regards,
Erin Laskey-Wilson

I am a past board member & President of Friends of NCRD; current President of the Nehalem Bay Garden Club; current Treasurer of White Clover Grange; outreach Director of Rainy Day Village, a Precinct Committee Person and a Neighborhood Leader. I am an active, engaged, supporter of our Villages and communities since moving here in 2007. I have been a voice for those unable to speak and for those who feel they have no voice.

I’ve also been a siren when curious numbers show up on documentation/budget sheets of NCRD. (1.7 million donated by community members since 2013? NO. The past (not) employed?-Finance Director’s income looking to have received over $100,000/yr? Why those questions/concerns have been met with such defensive anger is surprising to me, given the 2009 embezzlement case where ‘an audit report of NCRD brought to light the absence of approximately $9,300 from the budget. The missing monies were reimbursements made to Fletcher without appropriate documentation’. I would think the NCRD board and staff would appreciate all eyes on deck? NO.

Which brings me to last nights Board meeting. I will say I am impressed with Michael Howes, new board member. He asked direct questions, some obviously uncomfortable to staff and didn’t step over asking what was not clear. Thank you Michael, there is hope. Since attending almost every board meeting the last 3 years, I am encouraged for the first time!

And, I am confused. The Board minutes say TJ Fiorelli was hired as Asst. Executive Director, however TJ made it clear last night he has never been hired? Okay, then who rec’d the $11,338.00
expense for the Asst ED, shown in the budget for last month? And, wasn’t he given a contract for $7,000 dollars to raise 2+ million dollars for the no-pool pool? Where’s that money? Hmmmmm.

I believe the Board missed an opportunity last night to share what was created (if anything) in their ‘workshop’ last month. Given they absolutely know why I am promoting a NO VOTE, they could have addressed issues to show they give a damn about repairing or creating faith in the Communities, but no. The meeting barely lasted 30 minutes? Too bad…not even a conversation for committees being formed for stage accessibility; Pickle-ball accessibility; youth’s Skate-park; Citizen advocacy; nothing, as of yet….

VOTE NO, be a demand for ALL!
