Elect Karen Matthews, Wheeler City Council

KAREN MATTHEWS FOR WHEELER CITY COUNCIL

My name is Karen Matthews and I am a candidate for Wheeler City Council. My strengths are organization, problem solving, and in-depth knowledge of the Charter, Comprehensive Plan, Vision Plan, and Ordinances.

I have owned a home in Wheeler for 30 years, fulltime since 2004. My volunteer service in Wheeler includes six years on City Councilor, eight years on the Park Committee, serving as a Block Captain on the original Emergency Response teams (now know as “WET) Map Your Neighborhood and as a Red Cross volunteer.

For 16 years I was the Community Garden Manager at Alder Creek Farm for Lower Nehalem Community Trust. I was selected for a leadership role in developing Kilches Point Trailhead through Ford Family Community Development Program.

I am a problem solver and I have spent the past 18 years on a wide variety of volunteer projects focused on input from the community. This summer I recruited volunteers to reinvigorate the Waterfront Park, City hall landscape, and planted flowers at the post office and kiosk.

Key areas of focus include Protecting the Environment, Beautification, and Guiding Development.

The Vision Plan is a guiding document that is to be used to guide decisions and has specific prescribed priorities. I support the Wheeler Vision Plan. It is the voice of the citizen. We have asked what you want for the future of your town and we should, and must by ordinance, honor your response.

There are people running for council that are pro-large scale development and have stated that they think citizens have changed their minds and that 10 units is not a limit expressly stated in the Vision. That is simply not the case. My job as your City Council representative it to represent the citizens voice and enforce the Vision Plan under the law. Until that law is changed I intend to uphold what the citizens have expressed as being important to them.

I appreciate your vote for Karen Matthews, Wheeler City Council

Wheeler Vision and zoning

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: proactivewheeler@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Re: wheelervisionadvocates@gmail.com

The Wheeler Vision recommends continual review, evaluation and updates to current city policies and ordinances, to manage and control growth.

The 24-foot height limit is in the City of Wheeler Zoning Ordinance. The Vision recommends that any variance of the 24-foot height be approved only after a strict procedure is followed, insuring that community priorities receive precedence. There is not, nor has there ever been, a limit of ten units. The interpretations of ordinance 2012-06 state that large-scale developments over ten units be subject to clear and objective design standards.

In early 2013, the planning commission reviewed this requirement and determined that Wheeler Zoning Ordinance section 11.050 Design Review meets the clear-and-objective requirement, by stating, “1) All commercial and industrial development in any zone, any multifamily dwelling in any zone, is subject to design review by the planning commission.” Therefore, no additional language in the zoning ordinance was required, with which the majority of city council agreed.

If advocates for the Vision do not feel that the zoning ordinances support the Vision, they should recommend updates, as outlined in the Vision.

What updates would be required?
Would updates apply to all zones?

Marks Community Matters Emergency Preparedness

Mark’s Community Matters Emergency Preparedness

I’m Mark Kuestner (KEST-ner) and I’m running for Manzanita City Council.

The tornado that struck Manzanita in 2016 made a lasting impact on many of us. Not only was the destruction immediate and significant, but our community’s response to it was similarly immediate and significant. For me it was an eye-opening introduction to the Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay (EVCNB). My wife, Linda and I were so impressed with the EVCNB efforts to teach our community about preparedness, we immediately became volunteers in their “Prepare Your Neighborhood” program.

Since the tornado, Linda and I got serious about making sure we are ready if and when another disaster strikes. We have GoBags for ourselves and our dogs, and we’ve stored gallons of water and other supplies to help us live “off the grid” for at least 30 days.

We wanted to make sure that our neighbors are similarly prepared. We are leaders in our neighborhood’s emergency planning. We’ve raised funds and gathered supplies to be used at our local gathering site to ensure our neighborhood’s resiliency, as have other neighborhoods in Manzanita and around the Bay.

We recognize that WE, not the City, are responsible for our own safety. The City IS responsible for emergency response efforts, including aid for people displaced by natural disasters who aren’t prepared. I strongly support continuing funding for emergency management and disaster resilience in the city budget. I will also advocate for adequate space at Underhill Plaza for evacuees and for our new City facilities to have a resilient structure for Emergency Operations.

COVID-19 certainly qualified as another natural disaster and Linda and I worked as non-medical volunteers at dozens of COVID vaccine clinics throughout the county. We logged so many hours that we were featured in the county’s “Vaccine Voices” series. We’ve just recertified and are already scheduling ourselves to help at the next round of vaccine booster clinics. Perhaps we’ll see you there when you get your booster and flu shot!

I ask that you vote for me for City Council on November 8. Please visit my website, www.MarkForCouncil2022.com. Thank you

THIS IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH A MAJORITY PARTY

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: dixiegainer@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Marty Wilde

Wilde, a Democrat, represents House District 11-Central Lane and Linn counties in the Oregon Legislature.

Last summer, I left the House Democratic Caucus, the body of Democratic lawmakers that sets our legislative priorities and strategy. I could not continue to participate in a caucus that had stopped acting democratically. We had failed to set a positive example of transparency and engagement and stopped supporting laws that returned power to the people we represent. Instead, we let our partisan desire to maintain power override our duty to the people. We owe Oregonians transparency, accountability and support for their role in their own governance.

Since I joined the caucus in 2019 as a freshman legislator, it has become less and less democratic. My fellow Democratic lawmakers and I met privately each day during the legislative session. We debated proposals like the Student Success Act and public pension reform, and we did not even inform the public about the topics of our discussions and preemptive decisions. Our caucus expectation was that we would lock down support for every House election for speaker and speaker pro tem, the House rules, and every procedural vote, whether it was in the people’s interest or not.

Over time, we even stopped debating the issues, as caucuses became a forum for leadership to give orders to ensure the Democratic agenda prevailed over the Republicans’ agenda, regardless of whether it was in the public interest. For instance, the former speaker did not consult with the caucus before making, or breaking, her deal with Republicans on redistricting. Perhaps worst of all, leadership positions were filled based on success in fundraising, not merit or expertise. The House Democratic leaders even stopped telling the caucus members about their discussions. In effect, the content and direction of legislation for all of Oregon was decided by a group of 10 or fewer people picked by their ability to raise money, in secret.
We also stopped supporting democratic ideas. After 78% of voters approved campaign finance reform, we failed to pass a bill to implement it. We acquiesced in the blatant gerrymandering of legislative districts by the Oregon Senate. We did nothing to engage non-affiliated voters in primary elections. Campaign finance reform, nonpartisan redistricting and broader voter engagement in the primaries enjoy broad support in the electorate, but we refused to support them.

We stopped exercising meaningful oversight of the executive branch as well. A House proposal to add impeachment of executive officers to the Oregon Constitution passed in 2015 by a vote of 47-12. This year, it failed even to come to the floor, despite the current House speaker’s vote for it in 2015. The caucus wouldn’t even allow debate on whether to refer it to voters, despite overwhelming public support for the concept. I could not remain in a caucus that had stopped acting democratically.

We owe it to Oregonians to do better. I know our new speaker, Rep. Dan Rayfield of Corvallis, supports a more democratic approach, as he has supported bills for campaign finance reform and ranked-choice voting in the past. Unfortunately, he has yet to give his values expression through democratic processes.

MAYERLE FOR MANZANITA: How I’ve Set the Table

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: mayerleformanzanita@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
With only a few weeks to go until the election, as a voter, I imagine you’re trying to understand the differences among the candidates and who will best serve you on the city council. We all know that the comprehensive plan needs updating to reflect the desires of residents. We all know that we need budget diversification, which is critical to our future.

I believe the big differentiator for me is how I’ve set the table with my transparency and communication about my research, networking, and connecting. I announced my candidacy this past May, and since then, I’ve hit the ground running.

In my campaign announcement published on May 26, I stated:
“Our current path, with its dependence on tourists and short-term rental income, is not sustainable. We need a better balance: a diverse and vibrant community that welcomes visitors but, first and foremost, meets the needs of the people who call Manzanita home. Our future and quality of life depend on it.”

In my ‘Seat at the Table’ article published in August (www.mayerleformanzanita.com/your-seat-at-the-table), I further strengthened that statement:

“I believe the role of a councilor is to be informed, seek community input, and be willing to make and implement decisions. Sometimes, that takes compromise. Sometimes, it takes implementing a policy and then reassessing and tweaking it as necessary. It never means failing to listen or failing to understand your constituents.”

When I decided to run for the council, I vowed I would be true to myself…I’m not going to pretend I’m something I am not in order to get elected. I’m not looking for a merit badge. Quite the contrary. I wanted to show you I take this seriously and am preparing to make the hard, informed calls about important issues. And I’ve also wanted to show you who I really am by sprinkling my personality into my commentary.

I believe I’ve shown you respect and—hopefully—earned it in return. I decided to respect your scroll, not post constantly, and I try to make my postings matter. I keep a daily blog on my website if you want to hear my thoughts or learn more about me. There is additional information about candidates, including MooVoter (bit.ly/moovoter) and voters’ pamphlets published by Tillamook County, Manzanita, The Pioneer Press and the League of Woman Voters. I chose not to file with ORESTAR so that I could increase my campaign spending. The $750 allowance for city candidates is more than enough—I have carefully budgeted it to demonstrate that I am fiscally responsible. An extra yard sign is not going to win your vote. And mass mailings of campaign flyers just fill our postal recycle bins and waste resources. Instead, I valued face-to-face communication, to meet and talk. I’ve made my email and phone number readily available.

This is what I consider ‘setting the table,’ AKA ‘doing the work’ to serve on the council.

I’m Brad Mayerle, and I’m running for Manzanita City Council. I encourage you to follow my blog and see how I’m working to earn your vote: www.mayerleformanzanita.com/read-my-daily-blog

CINDY KAY GREGORY FOR ROCKAWAY BEACH CITY COUNCIL

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: diwax@msn.com – Click to email about this post
My name is Diane Weatherwax and I have been a full-time resident of Rockaway Beach since 2017. I write in support of Cindy Kay Gregory for Rockaway Beach City Council position 4.

Cindy is one of the most compassionate people I know. Her passion and top priority is giving back to Rockaway Beach. I have personally experienced Cindy’s giving nature and grace. A year after I moved here, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. At that time, she had no idea how bad my chances of survival were. But within days of my returning home from a lengthy stay at the hospital, a delicious homemade quiche was left on my doorstep. While this is just one personal example of Cindy’s generosity, I know there are many others in this community who have received her gifts. Not only does Cindy show care for so many of us individually, she regularly volunteers her time to the community as a whole. Her community recognition as “Volunteer of the year 2022” is an understatement.

One example of Cindy’s commitment to this town is the beautification of our iconic “Chamber of Commerce/Caboose”’ area at the Wayside. Her creatively tended flowers and plants are admired by all. Cindy’s artistic endeavors also include the organization of the recent and successful “Renaissance Artist Show” at the Rockaway Beach Community Center. Additionally, “Hunters Helpers” supported long-time residents Nancy Roberts and her terminally ill husband, Jeff Hunter. This community group, organized by Cindy, offered comfort and peace at the end of Jeff’s life. Cindy Kay Gregory has proven herself to be a collaborator for good in Rockaway Beach, and I am excited to see how this will translate to her role as a council member.

Cindy is an empathetic listener who responds to the needs of her community. If she is unable to do it herself, she will work hard to find the resources to get the answers and results the community wants. She supports citizen involvement and will encourage input for all decisions voted on as a council member. Cindy also believes in transparency and open communication between citizens and their elected representatives.

I endorse Cindy Kay Gregory for Rockaway City Council and sincerely encourage the citizens of Rockaway to vote: Cindy Kay for Rockaway!
