CHECK OUT ABSENT SENATOR RON WYDEN

Submitted By: dixiegainer@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Ron Wyden has been in the Oregon Senate since 1996. He served in the United States House of Representatives from 1981 until 1996. 41 years as a representative of Oregon. He has three homes – doesn’t spend much time here. We need a senator that lives in Oregon to represent the people of Oregon.

The scandal: His wife took a PPP – That is the Paycheck Protection Program – loan of 2.7 million dollars to keep the employees of her bookstore on the payroll. She took the 2.7 million dollars and laid off 180 employees. She did not rehire them. The loan was forgiven. Isn’t that slick?

We will work with color pencils and focus on blending various colors as well as depicting veins on leaves. The workshop will include a presentation of Dorota’s botanical drawings of fall foliage, step-by-step examples, a demonstration of how to approach drawing from observation and various colored pencils techniques, and a time to draw together. Feel free to work in your sketchbook, toned paper, or any surface of your choice. Although drawing in realistic form will be the focus, individual styles will be encouraged and celebrated.

EXTRACTIGATOR SCOTCH BROOM REMOVER

Submitted By: tim4surf@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
This amazing heavy duty tool is barely used.

It will do what you cannot by hand: Pull out small saplings and Scotch Broom completely roots and all!

“The Extractigator begins the pull with a minimum 12:1 ratio, with the handle at a height which allows the operator to use body weight as the pulling force. If the operator applies 10lbs of body weight to the end of the handle, he or she is applying initially 120lbs of uprooting force to the plant. After the initial pull from the ground, less effort is required. The fulcrum distance increases to remove the entire plant. With the minimum 12:1 ratio – If the operator applies 100lbs of body weight to the end of the handle… that’s 1200 lbs of uprooting force!!

The construction of the Extractigator is of high quality steel, professionally welded with strength and weight as considerations. Grade 8 High Tensile steel bolts with Nylock (self locking) nuts are used as the pivot pins, as they have over 4 times the strength of normal steel.”

Retails for $185.00 here in Oregon. Shipping alone from Canada is over $100 on this

Manzanita’s Financial Priorities

Submitted By: rkinor@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
The City Hall Project Community Listening Session begins on August 29th. Let’s hope that this conversation includes the acknowledgment that the City faces approximately $25 – 28 Million dollars of critical infrastructure projects for water, storm drain, streets and parks/trails in addition to providing our community with a City Hall. What we can afford and what the priority of the aforementioned projects should be needs to be part of this comprehensive community discussion.
Citizens have already confirmed through the Manzanita Listens sessions that the cost of a new City Hall was by far the most important consideration. While the City has avoided any meaningful consideration of a remodel of the Underhill School, recent developments by the City Council in Cannon Beach to remodel their 5,000 sq. ft Elementary School and Quonset Hut has now forced that conversation here. The Underhill and CB Elementary School are essentially the same age, structural design, size and condition. It has been pointed out that the remodel of the CB Elementary School is not currently being planned for critical emergency services that need a class 3 or 4 seismic structural rating. That issue was addressed by the City’s architect in 2018 when asked about enhancing the building’s seismic strength for a City Hall. “the incremental increase to go from risk category 2 to 3 or 4 is an issue to be considered during design development but compared to the other major factors talking about cost it is a relatively minor consideration. “
The City Council’s response in 2021 to a citizen petition to be provided with a comparison of costs and features of a new build versus a remodel was denied with the explanation by the Council President that “when we compare apples to apples for new versus renovation, they are actually pretty close.”
City’s 2021 Project Engineer estimated cost adjusted for a 5,000 sq. ft new build. $3.9 Million CB Elementary School 2020 remodel estimate including tenant improvements. $1.2 Million
Any discussion about the Underhill project must ultimately get to total project cost. The above new build costs do not include funding for the Quonset Hut, parking/landscaping and financing costs. Total expenses to date to acquire the property and years of consultants and other professional services is now in excess of $2.1 Million.
No one disputes that City staff and our public officials need a functional and comfortable space to work and conduct public meetings. I would suggest that this matter is about finding the best solution for a City Hall in light of our community financial priorities and how much more money, debt and controversy do we want to put into coming up with that solution.
Despite the claims that City finances are in good shape, there is no ability to even begin to provide for the construction of needed upgrades to the water system, improve substandard streets for pedestrians and bikers, keep storm water runoff contained in certain neighborhoods and provide park and trail amenities. Unfortunately, the claims of some that have stated that the City can expect to get grant funds to pay for these infrastructure projects, is simply not going to happen. Residents/property owners will be paying for the majority of these project costs through higher water rates, new monthly utility fees and possible increased property taxes for construction bonds.
Please share your financial priorities with the City on August 29th.

Famine is the Name of the Game

Submitted By: dixiegainer@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
“Thomas Malthus predicted that famine was the inevitable byproduct of agriculturally successful populations: A well-fed population would breed faster than the agricultural sector could grow. For him, that was an unavoidable tragedy. Modern leftist governments, though, have a new approach to this: They are forcing Malthusian famines by mandating fertilizer reductions and seizing farmers’ lands. It’s all part of the Great Reset that the New World Order of Klaus Schwab et al have planned for us: You’ll have nothing, including no food, while they live in their castles on the hill, insulated from the Hobbesian terrors they’ve created.”

Watch the Oregon Legislature pass more measures that help push farmers out of business.

We can stop this if we can elect a non-Democratic governor.
You might want to read about regenerative farming. When we had victory gardens we didn’t
have artificial fertilizer, the kind they say puts nitrogen in the air. And nitrogen doesn’t have anything to do with global warming anyway.

Beginning Plein Air Landscape Painting Workshop

Submitted By: toni@rbogen.com – Click to email about this post
Beginning Plein Air Landscape Painting Workshop
with Jef Gunn
September 9-12 |  9:30am-5:30pm
Tuition $450 |Materials $20
Manzanita, Oregon
This class requires proof of vaccination

The Hoffman Center for the Arts in Manzanita
will offer Beginning Plein Air Landscape Painting
a 4-day painting workshop

This will be a beginning painting workshop focused on painting the coastal landscape from direct observation, our own experience in the open air. Nothing is quite as exhilarating as meeting our experience with our eyes and hands in paint on a small rectangle. It is also quite complex, so some guidance is a good idea. We will learn about the materials and gear (paints, brushes, palette, and the plein air easel). Also, importantly: composition, color, paint mixing and handling, palette management, and the stages of building up a painting.

With this workshop you will have a firm foundation in the essentials of painting, and of painting the landscape en plein air. Plein air is simply French for “outdoors,” literally “full air” or “in the open air.” It has recently been taken to be a style. I don’t see it as a style. I don’t actually care about styles. I do care about authenticity. Each painter paints as they see and feel. The more comfortable they become with the materials and their process, the more freely their feeling and vision can show up in their paintings. And that’s magic.

Jef Gunn was born in Seattle in 1955 and grew up along the West Coast from Puget Sound to southern California to Hawaii. He studied drawing and painting in California through the 1970s, held residencies in Barcelona and Paris in the 1980s, and since the mid 1990s has engaged in a passionate study of Asian art. In 2005, Gunn completed a BFA in painting from Marylhurst University. He lives and works in Portland, Oregon, where he teaches painting workshops at Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, and through First Light Studio, his own Portland-based studio.

With a balance of humor, broad knowledge, and helpful insight, he is able to draw from each student her or his own natural way to paint, while bringing to bear practical instruction through historical examples, especially of the Modern period. A complete materials list will be sent to students when they register.

Linda Kozlowski for City Council

Submitted By: Linda.Kozlowski@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
My name is Linda Kozlowski. I am writing to let you know that I am running for City Council in Manzanita.

I love Manzanita and am honored to have served the Manzanita community on the Council for 4 terms.

In my years on Council, I have seen a lot of change. One thing that remains constant is the passion people hold for Manzanita – its past and future.

My 3 priorities are:

Envision Manzanita
Manage growth effectively with guidance from our community. This includes the update of our Comprehensive Plan which will be one of our biggest projects in the next few years.

Budget Forward
Balance the budget while making thoughtful and systemic changes. This will require new funding strategies to help us reduce our dependence on short term rental revenue.

Focus on Livability
The quality of life in Manzanita matters to everyone. Continuing to manage short-term rentals, address workforce housing and create workspace for our city staff are all important to me.

If you already know me, you understand that I enjoy meeting people and talking face-to-face. Covid has hampered our ability to do that for the past few years. I would really like to hear from you. You can reach me via email at Linda.Kozlowski@gmail.com, or by phone at (503) 799-5550. You may also visit my website lindaformanzanita.com, where you can learn more about my experience over the past 20+ years.

Thank you and please vote in November.

Linda Kozlowski
