To the person who dumped my yard sale juicer in pieces on my driveway. At some point in the night, your note was illegible due to it all sitting in the rain all night long. (by the way, my neighbors have cameras that span our street.)
From what I was able to read of your note, saying it did not work, it’s clearly obvious you used it, and it worked, by the pulp residue you left on the parts.
I was very clear the juicer worked well on all vegetables and fruits, as well as disclosed the only negative in my experience, was that I felt it was tedious to clean.
You bought it, you used it and you dumped it in pieces on my driveway. There is no refund.

Acting respectful by knocking on my door and asking for a return would have provided a far better outcome.

It is interesting how we have become divided recently to the point that friends and families have stopped talking to each other – that is exactly the point (divided we fall) of the MSM today which includes radio, TV ,magazines, newspapers etc. etc.and other media that divides us and them. Many people see that this is destructive for our country. (it sure is) And some have tried to do something about it.

One person in Tillamook County is trying to start a chapter here, with a web site, now called Braver Angels. In 2020, the name was changed to Braver Angels partly to settle a trademark dispute and also to pay homage to the bravery required to have respectful conversation outside our preferred silo of opinion. Jim Heffernan living in South County, became enamored of Braver Angels when he read Monica Guzman’s book, “I Never Thought of It That Way: How to Have Fearlessly Curious Conversations in Dangerously Divided Times” in 2021. Monica is a very liberal Hispanic Seattle journalist who was troubled when conversations with her conservative immigrant parents often ended in tears because of their political differences.

With clear and penetrating logic, she outlines what causes our distress and offers a way out of it. The cause is distilled down to the acronym SOS. It’s very apt that it matches the classic distress signal, but what it stands for is Sorting, Othering, and Siloing. Sorting happens when we separate ourselves into groups based on politics or race.
Othering happens we react to sorting by identifying people as either “us” or “them” -other.
Siloing happens when we seek our conversation and news in silos, the same sources, that don’t ask us to stray from our beliefs. Sorting, Othering, and Siloing — none of them are good for us or for the nation.

This May, voters living in the Nehalem Bay Health District (NBHD) have the opportunity to re-elect Marc Johnson to the District’s board, which he currently chairs. I urge voters to retain his strategic, visionary leadership as the District seeks to improve and expand local health care options.

As board chair of the Nehalem Bay Health Center & Pharmacy (formerly the Rinehart Clinic), I have had the good fortune to see Marc’s work up close. He has skillfully brought together an array of community partners and stakeholders on a plan that will build a new primary care health center for our area, substantially upgrade our existing nursing care center, and pave the way for the development of affordable housing for health care workers.

Throughout this process, Marc has found ways to maximize opportunities and overcome obstacles. He has worked with Democratic lawmakers in DC and Republican lawmakers in Salem to promote the project and secure funding. He’s one of those guys who seems to have all the answers, but who is smart enough to keep asking good questions and reaching out to others for their input.

Please re-elect Marc Johnson to the board of the Nehalem Bay Health District. Jerry Spegman, Manzanita

If anyone has doubts about why our nations infrastructure, health care, education, housing, water, food and ironically, the state of our defensive capabilities, are deplorable, considering we call ourselves the richest and most exceptional nation on the face of this earth, read this.

It’s not the democrats. It’s not the republicans. It not the presidents. It’s all of all of them! ( with VERY FEW exceptions), because they are bought and paid for by the vast network Ike and JFK warned us about. We did not take heed so we are all to blame. Seven hundred and fifty plus military bases around the world?….read this.
