Art/Drafting Table

Submitted By: amykkw@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Almost brand new drafting table can be used for art table. Table can be adjusted for any height and can be tilted down to perfectly vertical and horizontal. Surface has no bumps or nicks so its ready for delicate art work where a smooth surface is needed. Straight edge is on a cable system so it slides across the table easily and locks into place when needed.

There are some marks on the legs from projects done near the table, but it’s in great condition.

Asking $100

Used iPad Air 2

Submitted By: artlight7@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Greetings,

I am searching for an iPad Air 2. Do you have one in good to excellent condition that I could purchase? Mine is on its last legs, the battery is going fast. I’d love to do this locally rather than through eBay or Craigslist.

The iPad Air 2 is thin, lightweight, entirely compatible with the Incipio Clamshell+ keyboard I love. I’ve tried replacing my beloved Air 2 with the iPad Air 4 and the Air 5 but no one, so far, has made a lap-compatible, fast keyboard for these new iPads.

Is your old iPad Air 2 sitting in your closet, gathering dust? Give it a new life and put some cash in your pocket at the same time.

Thank you, BBQ!

8 practices to stay healthy as fall weather returns

Submitted By: revolutionginger@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
The first day of fall rain is here.

If you’re feeling like you could use a little extra energy and support as the weather shifts, you’re not alone.

I’ve just returned from a 5 day advanced training in ERT- emotional release therapy in Northern California and I’m whooped.

Feeling the rain coming in makes me wanting to crawl into bed and stay there for a week.

When the world outside undergoes a shift in energy (fall and spring) I definitely feel it. We all do.

I hope this list of “8 wellness practices for fall” that my wife Ginger put together will help you take care of yourself as the season shifts.

Linda Kozlowski Comments on Manzanita City Council 2023

Submitted By: Linda.Kozlowski@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
What should you expect from the Manzanita City government in 2023 and beyond?

On Monday, Councilor Jerry Spegman wrote an excellent North Coast BBQ article (Sept 25th) discussing his perspective on Manzanita’s next City Council. His position is one that I support, and I encourage you all to read.

On Tuesday, Kim Rosenberg did it again! Kim has a wonderful way of grounding us all and getting to the important points in her own fun and unique way.

My name is Linda Kozlowski. I have been a City Council member for a number of years and I’m running for re-election. I’m very excited, like Jerry and Kim, about our future and I want to continue being part of the decision-making that will have an effect us all.

There will be several new faces on the City Council starting in 2023 and it will be exciting to infuse fresh perspectives into the government process; my re-election will bring valuable experience, background, and history to the issues so we can make informed and effective decisions.

Jenna Edginton is one who has already been seated. She will bring a young and fresh voice to the issues. Jenna brings experience she gained while doing excellent work on our Planning Commission, and her input will be invaluable as we start the work of updating our Comprehensive Plan.

Deb Simmons will be the new mayor of Manzanita starting in January. Mayor Simmons will lead the Council in the serious work of updating our Comprehensive Plan, managing STRs, identifying new revenue sources, managing the budget, and overseeing construction of new City facilities.

I’m energized about the challenges and opportunities ahead for us. We will be looking for your help and support as we tackle the critical issues I’ve just mentioned as well as the following:

• Identifying opportunities to encourage housing that is affordable to local workers
• Making decisions about foredune grading
• Assessing whether to adjust water rates, which have not changed in more than ten years, to pay for capital projects that will ensure sustainable water delivery
• Modernizing and digitizing the City’s record-keeping

My experience will be of great support to the newest members of City Council and our new Mayor, and I look forward to working with them. Let’s make the next two years a time when we all come together for the common good.

When it comes to working for the benefit of this community that I love so much, I’m all in.

Please be sure to vote on November 8 and I’m asking that you re-elect me.

I’m Linda Kozlowski and I’m running for re-election for Manzanita City Council. You can reach me at Linda.Kozlowski@gmail.com. Visit my website at www.LindaforManzanita.com.

Mark Talks about Livability: Pedestrian Safety and Traffic Concerns

Submitted By: MarkForCouncil2022@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I’m Mark Kuestner (KEST-ner) and I’m running for City Council. I’ve been going door-to-door to find out what’s on the minds of Manzanita voters. One of the most commonly voiced issues is concern for street safety for pedestrians and how many bad drivers there are!

Manzanita is a community that loves to walk! We walk with our spouses, with our neighbors, alone, and with our dogs. We meet friends as we walk on our beautiful beach, we get our daily steps in by using the wonderful bike/pedestrian path in our state park, or—for the more adventurous of us—we hike on the new hiking trail that connects to Neahkahnie Mountain.

But I’ve been noticing that there is much more vehicle traffic in the residential parts of town. Many of those drivers are going too fast and driving unsafely around blind curves. We witnessed this in every neighborhood where we were canvassing. Often, the voter we were meeting would express their dismay and frustration as someone whizzed by. Some wished speed limit signs were posted, others wished for speed bumps or stop signs. Many talked about their safety fears for their pets or grandchildren.

It seems to me that it’s time to discuss the very real need to address pedestrian safety. Let’s consider speed bumps, new traffic patterns, and sidewalks. These things will keep our own livability factor high while accommodating the growing numbers of people who share our community at various times during the year.

Visit my website www.MarkForCouncil2022.com for more information about how I will bring ideas and action to our City’s government. You can also watch a brief video where I talk about these concerns at https://youtu.be/loz-WQGOrcg.

Let’s Change Our Minds, Not Just Our Underwear

Let’s Change Our Minds, Not Just Our Underwear
It’s easy to be discouraged some days. It’s easy to think that all the problems we face are too big, that what we as individuals do, doesn’t matter and that the actions we could take are too hard and require too much effort.
We wish things were different, easier, better in some way but as my mama used to say, “Wish in one hand and poop in the other and see which hand fills up first.”
Only she didn’t say poop.
I don’t know about all y’all but sometimes I focus way too much on the problems I face and then the tiny violins come out, and my spirit sinks.
And so I’d like to call your attention to what we’ve done in the past year. That complacent community that I’ve heard people describe Manzanita as just a couple of years ago woke up on fire to engage with city government. Many of us took to reading the Comprehensive Plan and Ordinances; more people than ever regularly attended City Council and Planning Commission Zoom meetings and even spoke at public hearings; tons of folks have written letters and made records requests and done research about things they were confused on. We put a real moratorium on view grading, we discovered flawed zoning code to fix and met in small groups all over town to discuss land use issues. We’ve gone to the Pine Grove and written our ideas down and talked with staff and been part of the great information gathering for the comprehensive plan update.
Because we got involved and spoke up, we were heard and those land use documents are being updated and things are happening. Our City Manager, Leila Aman continues with the information gathering Wednesday the 28th from 5-7 at the Pine Grove.
Ms. Aman has been appointed to represent Tillamook County with Mary Faith Bell to the Northwest Oregon Housing Authority. Aman’s passion for and expertise in workforce housing make this an excellent opportunity, not just for her but for our entire community.
We have the opportunity in the coming year to keep moving the ball forward. It’s not like STR’s, workforce-housing, infrastructure improvements are going to fix themselves. But the future is not all doom and gloom. We can work together and get things done. Soon we’ll have pretty much a brand new council. How they work together to build consensus not only among themselves but also in our community, will matter. They each have a vote, just like we do.
At a certain point it’s time to stop replaying the past–who did what to who and why we hate that guy or how we were wronged when we knew we were right. Let’s put that bag down and move forward. Even if the other guy won’t. Especially then. The grudges we’ve held on to so tightly do not serve us. Those tired old bags will only get in our way. Let’s get off Facebook and talk to each other.
Here’s the deal–the stuff we wrote down on the Pine Grove walls at the first listening session was pretty much all the same stuff. Most of us want the same things. We just call those things by different names or have a different take on how to get to where we want to be.
Let’s open our minds this year and let go of our rightness. When that feeling of smug superiority fills us, let’s look at things from a different perspective. Let’s ask more questions and actually listen to the answers before we chime in.
We’re all on this ride together. I can’t wait to see what we can do by this time next year!

It Takes a Village to Lead a Village

Submitted By: mayerleformanzanita@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I’m Brad Mayerle, and I’m a candidate for Manzanita City Council.

As many of you are aware, I write a blog that chronicles my daily activities—both personal (so you can get to know the real me) and about the work I’m doing to earn your vote—along with my thoughts and ideas about the issues and challenges that our community is facing.

I want you to know that I “respect your scroll.” I’m going to limit my posts on North Coast BBQ because I know it can be frustrating to see political posts take over your feed. If you are interested in riding along the campaign trail with me, go to: bit.ly/Today_I_Blog Consider bookmarking it and checking back often.

Here’s one of my recent posts:

Today I…met with Richard Silverman, the clinical pharmacist at the Rinehart Clinic. He’s also completed a master’s level program in Senior Housing Administration at George Mason University. Richard and I got together to discuss affordable housing because he’s interested in providing services for the aging population in our area. However, in order to have these services, there needs to be housing for the medical workers and caregivers. To provide both, some of the models he’s investigating are multi-generational housing approaches, such as The Green House Project or Bridge Meadows. What I appreciate about Richard is how he problem-solves by thinking out of the box.

My meeting with Richard is part of my ongoing process of building relationships with a network of experts that can be tapped to provide input and ideas—both unique, out-of-the-box thinking and best-known methods—for the solutions to our challenges.

I’ll be very frank: I don’t have all the answers. I’m coming into this with a fresh, unbiased perspective. And I know you’re probably getting weary of me talking about the medical model, but it really does provide an excellent example of how a role on the city council works.

For the past few months, I have been in the assessment phase. Yes, I’ve taken the x-rays and probed the issues and challenges, as well as evaluated the healthy tissue of our city. When I’m on council, I’ll move into the diagnostic and treatment plan phase. This is where the experts weigh in.

Well before I announced my candidacy, I’ve been networking with a wide variety of subject matter experts who can bring clarity and ideas to help inform the solutions for the challenges we face. Cultivating a wide range of relationships is invaluable when diagnosing and understanding “treatment” options. When I was a dentist, I didn’t always have all the answers. When I was up against tough cases, I would reach out to my network of specialists—all of whom I had established trusted relationships with. Because I built these relationships early on in my practice, endodontists, oral surgeons, orthodontists, lab technicians, and others were readily available to provide insight from their areas of expertise so that we could offer the best solution possible to patients with the least implications.

Now I’m building my network and establishing relationships—both in and outside the community—so that when I serve on the council, I can garner insight and ideas to help expedite the decision-making process. They include land use planners, city planners, city managers from other coastal towns, watershed and forestry economists, affordable housing activists, law enforcement, geologists, and others. And I’m continuing to expand this network as we speak.

Beyond knocking on doors, building this robust network is part of the continuous work I’m doing up front to earn your vote.

Thank you for taking the time out to read this post, and I hope to talk with you soon!

Brad
