Update – Modern sectional sofas for sale in Manzanita

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: Bjp4544@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
Update – we had A LOT of interest in the sofas – more on the blue sectional. For the IKEA sleeper sectional … first $100 takes it. You can view it anytime – it’s in my house (currently staying at the vacation rental) on S. 4th Place. The blue All Modern sofa … make us an offer. Paid over $1,200 for it less than four years ago. It’s in our vacation rental next door that’s currently occupied. Can probably arrange a viewing and or pick up on Thursday or Friday of this week – needs to happen the same day. Dimensions for both are below. Three of the tufted buttons have come off the seat cushions (normal wear) … I have the buttons and backup buttons … just need a little DIY attachment and good to go. It’s in excellent condition.

Cannot edit prior For Sale posts. Yes – both are still available as of 9 am on 10/25. Like I said … sorry for the hassle but make us an offer on the blue one … it’s darn near brand new. If a strong offer comes in … I can talk/text with the guest next door and see if she’s agreeable for you to take a peak … we’ll send them on a walk down to the beach!

Both will break down into two pieces – the blue one is VERY easy. The sleeper sofa will take a bit more work – need to take off the back slip cover then detach the chaise part. Could possibly keep in one piece with two strong lads or ladettes taking out the front door or back slider. That unit can be viewed and picked up any time this week.

Thank you.

Blue sofa DIMENSIONS:
• Overall Dimensions: 60.5″L x 99.5″W x 34″H
• Seat Height: 18.5″H
• Arm Height: 25.5″H

IKEA gray sofa MEASUREMENTS:
• Height: 34 5/8″ (88 cm)
• Width: 94 1/2″ (240 cm)
• Depth: 59″ (150 cm)

Ballots are in your mailbox…or staring at from your kitchen table. Or perhaps they have already been signed, sealed and delivered. It’s an exciting time of the year when we get to exercise the privilege of making our voices heard with our vote—a chance to stand up for the issues we care about and influence how our tax dollars are spent.

As you know, I’m running for Manzanita City Council. If you haven’t had a chance to learn more about me, please peruse my daily blog. bit.ly/bradsdailyblog Each day since August, I have chronicled all my campaign activities (along with some personal stories)—from meeting people in the community, meeting with specialists who can help us meet our challenges, and volunteering. I also discuss my thoughts about some of the issues our town is facing and the new things I’ve learned, as well as outline what sets me apart from the other candidates and the folks who have led our town in the past.

Also, consider reading the unsolicited endorsements from Manzanita residents I’ve met on the campaign trail. bit.ly/votingforbrad

Elephant in Wheeler

THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM……
Or the big issue concerning Wheeler
_________________________________________
The recent notice that was distributed regarding a meeting for Wheeler candidates stipulated: “that there could be no discussion of projects that had been applied for on the Wheeler waterfront.” ……..

The question is …..Why Not?
The fact is that the Wheeler waterfront and a proposed development there, has been the primary topic of meetings, agendas, hearings and legal appeals and a law suit for the past several years. Any attempts to dismiss this issue as un-important to this community completely ignores THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM!

This waterfront project was originally denied by the Planning Commission in 2020 because there was insufficient evidence to show that it was in compliance with the Wheeler laws and the applicable environmental, geo-technical and certified architectural studies on the site had not been done. The city council (on which candidate Bell served ) overturned the Planning Commission’s decision and gave the developer a green light to go ahead, thereby ignoring all the studies required to support approval of the project. LUBA has confirmed twice that the original denial by the Planning Commission was justified and that the vote of Mr. Bell and his council members to discount the provisions of the Vision Plan was in error.

For the past two years Mayor Honeycutt and the current council have worked to try to find resolution and compromise with the developer. Unfortunately his response has been to litigate.

Mr. Bell has attempted to label me and others as being anti-development. Not so! Being “pro” or “anti” development isn’t the issue. The question is, does the development follow the law? Adherence by city government to the laws of the town is the only assurance that citizens have, that development in their town will happen within the mandated guidelines. City representatives not complying with our laws – or as one candidate has been overheard to say “bend them” is a dangerous proposition for the town.

The “candidate forum” organized and paid for by Mike Anderson, (former planning commissioner) was scheduled with the two candidates he has been working with, who support the large scale development. Mr. Anderson failed to verify the availability of any of the others prior to announcing the meeting on the candidate’s doorsteps, and he denied a request to re-schedule. He also stipulated what could not be discussed, thereby controlling the meeting by design.

I committed to supporting the voice of citizens and the laws which were put into place to preserve many of the aspects of our small town livability; this includes many important items not just development. I will not betray the community’s priorities. I will support change and development that is in keeping with those laws.

Please vote with care for Wheeler city council……

Candidate for Wheeler City Council

Clarifications Regarding Wheeler City Council being Chastised

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: taylorgordon003@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
There has been misinformation spread that the present City Council took actions concerning waterfront development proposals that were illegitimate and unethical. This is not true. I was one of the councilors about whom the developer had complained and attempted to have a $20,000 ethics fine placed against me. The Oregon Ethics Commission ruled that my fellow councilor and I had done nothing wrong and had a perfectly legitimate right to vote on the waterfront development. Nevertheless, we both recused ourselves out of an abundance of caution, so there would be no bias at all or even any perception of bias. To repeat I DID NOT VOTE on the hotel project. I recused myself. Rumors to the contrary are false. The Land Use Board of Appeals never chastised me or any Council member for bias; it only remanded the decision back to the city to make sure some legal rules for complete recusal had been followed. Council held another hearing, following the requirements LUBA addressed for complete recusal, and came to the same decision about the waterfront project as before: this development could not be approved.

Mystery solved

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: jampaulson@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
A couple of years ago when Suzanne Weber was running for the Oregon House of Representatives, I contacted her campaign twice to find out where the candidate stood on protecting a woman’s right to choose. No response to either inquiry. Before the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade earlier this year, the writing was on the wall where things were headed in this country with regard to reproductive freedom.
This year, I didn’t bother asking Weber’s campaign, assuming I would not get a response, which of course, speaks for itself.
Fortunately the Democratic Party of Oregon did the leg work this year, sending a mailer reflecting where candidates stand on protecting women’s rights to make decisions about what is best for their bodies. You can see the candidates and their positions on the attached photo.
Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, stripping away national protection for abortion rights, our state leaders are the last line of defense protecting these rights. I urge you to elect candidates who protect the rights of women to make their own decisions about what is best for their bodies and lives.

Mark Talks About Teamwork

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: MarkForCouncil2022@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Our Manzanita City Council is composed of five virtually equal volunteer positions: a mayor, and four city councilors. It’s a great example of a team working toward a common goal. Our community benefits when that team is in sync.

Each council member has one vote on any issue that comes before them. A majority vote is necessary to pass legislation.

I’m asking you to give me a seat at the City Council team table by voting for me in November.

By now we all know many of the issues that are facing Manzanita and its citizens. The question you need to ask when you receive your ballot is “Who will make the team better and be able to help that team move forward?”

I have attended virtually all City Council meetings over the last 3 years, as well as the Short Term Rental Workgroup and Planning Commission meetings. Check the box for “who knows the background of the issues?”

I am a former Vice President and President of a local union and I know how the Manzanita City Council functions. Check the box for “who understands how government entities work and function?”

I have a long history of volunteering with local organizations like: the Manzanita Friends of the Library, the Hoffman Center’s Wonder Garden, Tillamook Master Gardeners, Tillamook Pioneer Museum, and regional entities like the Emergency Volunteer Corp of Nehalem Bay (EVCNB). Check two boxes for “who has already been working well with others locally to achieve good outcomes?” and “who has a shown a genuine concern for his neighbors and community for many years?”

I will bring a fresh viewpoint to Council, but one informed by actual knowledge of recent, and not-so-recent legislative discussions. I’m a team player, though I haven’t always agreed with decisions made by our Council. That is the nature of government. But I am looking forward to playing my part in finding the best solutions for all of us.

Most of the candidates running for a city council seat in November understand the issues–we’ve all talked about Short Term Rentals, the Comprehensive Plan, Livability and Workforce housing, and a new city facility. I’m asking you to choose a candidate who genuinely has organization and consensus-building skills, has lived here full-time long enough to understand the history and nuances behind the issues, and the desire to do what’s right to help his fellow citizens.

I’m Mark Kuestner and I tick all those boxes. So please vote me into one of the two open City Council seats. Thank you. I won’t let our team down.

Notice of the Wheeler Candidates’ Forum

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: proactivewheeler@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I am responsible for the Meet the Candidates for Wheeler City Council forum: I rented the space, created the agenda/meeting guidelines and paid to have them printed. I personally contacted all the candidates weeks in advance and stated that — if they could not attend — they were welcome to have someone present to read their statements. Karen Matthews and Clif Kemp could not attend and had someone there to read their statements. Garry Gitzen and Deanne Ragnell did not attend or have a representative there.
I requested notice of the meeting in the Wheeler water bill newsletter and was assured by our mayor that it would be included. He then changed his mind and cancelled the newsletter entirely.
I next paid $289 to the Headlight Herald for the notice on page 18 of the Voter Guide, which was supposed to be mailed 10-10-22. However, it was mailed a week late. When I knew it would be late, I contacted Joe Warren at the Headlight Herald, who assured me they would do all they could to notify the public of the meeting through their websites. This was all I could do.
I am voting for Dave Bell and Mary Leverette. After attending the 10-16-22 meeting, my third vote will go to Walt Porter.
I do not hide behind any secret society. I am a 52-year member of the Plumbers and Pipefitters local 290 and a 30-year member of the American Legion.

SPRING BLOOMING BULBS FOR SALE

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: pattyrinehart@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post

FRIENDS OF NORTH COUNTY RECREATION DISTRICT IS WRAPPING UP THEIR BULB SALES!

Listed below you will see two kinds of tulips and 7 kinds of daffodils Friends has left to sell. Please call me, Patty, 503-368-6081, if I’m not home leave me a message. I will take your bulb order and have it ready for you by Thursday. Will be leaving bulbs at NCRD in Nehalem where you can pick up and pay for them at the Welcome Center. Cash or check please. Thanks!

Rosy Diamond-Tulip
Describing color can be difficult. There it is on the color wheel, but what to call it? Rosy Diamond is a purple with extra red in it. Is that burgundy? Too red. Maroon? Too dark. How about beautiful? That’s not a color, but it’s an accurate description. Especially lovely with pastel pinks and soft yellows.
Price: 10/$15 TWO UNITS LEFT

Scarlet Baby-Tulip
Starry red flowers, tinted pink, with a buttery base. They open bright and early in the spring, providing a welcome jolt of color. Scarlet Baby blooms at only half a foot tall, but its intensity makes it seem big.

Price: 10/$10 TWO UNITS LEFT

Acropolis-Double Daffodil

Glistening white flowers with orange-red segments in the center. They are carried well above the foliage for easy viewing. Lovely in the garden and terrific in a vase, which also allows ready access to their spicy scent.
Deer and Rodent Proof Price: 5/$10 TWO UNITS LEFT

Delnashaugh-Double Daffodil
Double creamy white blooms enriched by fluffy peach-pink segments. An uncommon and uncommonly fetching daffodil. Delnashaugh is a good grower, with large flowers and a unique peach color.
Deer and Rodent Proof Price: 5/$10 8 UNITS LEFT

Erlicheer-Double Daffodil

Erlicheer is a sweetly scented double daffodil that bears 6 –12 small white
flowers on each stem. The flowers resemble miniature roses or gardenias and are easily as fragrant. Despite its name, Erlicheer is late by daffodil standards, blooming in midseason with the likes of Thalia. Deer and Rodent Proof Price: 5/$10 8 Units Left

Queen’s Day-Double Daffodil
A double yellow named for the Dutch holiday. Queen’s Day is itself a celebration of what hybridizers can achieve—a sunny, beautifully shaped flower produced by a robust bulb. Will it wait until the end of April to bloom? Probably not, but you’ll be glad to have Queen’s Day on whatever schedule it prefers.
Deer and Rodent Proof
Price: 5/$10 11 UNITS LEFT

Pipe Major-Uncommon Daffodil
Yellow-orange daffodils are common, but Pipe Major stands out, perhaps because it blooms later than most, perhaps because the creamy yellow perianth is so easy on the eye. New to daffodils? An old hand? Either way, Pipe Major will be an emblem of your good taste.
Deer and Rodent Proof Price: 5/$10
13 UNITS LEFT

Poeticus Recurvus-Uncommon Daffodil
Pheasant’s Eye. Breeders have done amazing things with daffodils over the past century, but it would be hard to improve on this wildflower. Graceful, reflexed white petals. Yellow cup ringed with red. Spicy scent. Lovely.
Deer and Rodent Proof Price: 5/$10
6 UNITS LEFT
