NCRD/ NES School Swim Program Status Clarification

Submitted By: babbles@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
It is very short-sighted of the Neah-kah-nie school district to abbreviate their school swim program.

Their reasons have to do with literacy achievement; they want more time for grade school students to focus on literacy skills, and they are taking time away from the school swim program to help achieve that goal. One hour per week dedicated to swimming and “taken away” from literacy time is going to make a difference? In fact, teachers have attested that students are more alert and willing to participate in academics after having had that hour in the pool.

This decision diminishes achieving “a strong mind in a strong body.” This decision diminishes the weekly joy of being in the water. This decision negates listening to the strong opinions and push-back that stopped the school district a few years ago from curtailing the school swim program. The school district administration just bided its time and reinstated its will over that of parents and teachers.

I am disappointed for our children.

Letter Writers wanted

Submitted By: Constance@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
Hello, are you feeling anxious about wanting to make a difference, yet not sure of what action to take? Here’s is your perfect opportunity. I am hosting a letter writing campaign this coming Tuesday (9/6) from 10am-Noon. We will be personalizing letters by adding why we believe voting is important and addressing from a list of people who may need a nudge to vote in November. This is considered a ‘social’ campaign which means we are only urging people to vote, not endorsing or promoting any specific candidate or measure. I am with the Tillamook Democracy Project and we have promised 20,000 letters by mid-October, we are currently just over 5,000 and we need your help! Please join us Tuesday at my home 43080 Northfork Rd, Nehalem. I’ll be providing coffee, tea, Aussie-bites (healthy & delicious!) and a beautiful ‘workspace’ while looking out to the coastal mountain range and Onion Peak. Please let me know you’ll be coming.
Also, our friends and their Friesian horses are visiting so ogling over these beautiful horses is an extra bonus! I hope you join us, I promise you will walk away feeling good about our community and the contribution you are! Thank you /Constance Shimek (yes, the one who came in 2nd for the NCRD Board in 2021 and will earn your vote in 2023!)

ON FRIENDSHIP AND CARING…

Submitted By: tim4surf@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
To all,
Friendship in my humble opinion is the true attempt at social advancement.

By forbearance and perseverance we forge a new self out of the sharing with one another .
It might be a marriage, a friend at work, or the grocery store checker. Patience and caring will yield a sum greater than it’s two parts. Friendship isn’t just good, it’s critical to creating the advancement of human dialogues. Hence the philosophical meetings of olden times, when great minds would together and hammer out a shared vision of the world we live in and the conduct that could be considered desirable for the greater good.

In the final analysis, if the parts are in disarray, then the whole is without cohesion.
The whole should always be moving towards the force of good and truth. Then will human beings actually become “civilized”

In these vastly disparate times we need to come together and forge an understanding of what it really means to be human.
