Fold Down Couch/Spare Bed

For Sale: Nearly new fold out couch that turns into a spare bed. I bought this in November for my guest room/ home office but now have a roommate and don’t have room for it. As a couch it’s 78” long x 33” deep. The upright back of the couch folds flat to turn into a bed. It’s relatively light weight and easy to move. It’s fully assembled but can be disassembled.

DOGS IN HOT CARS

Submitted By: cbbcalm@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Please do not simply walk by..if you see a dog inside a car in the full sun … this is what you can do :Walk into the near by businesses and ask the manager / owner to reach out to their customers,,.( sometimes they don’t want to get involve ) so it’s ok for you to shout < there is dog in car full sun !! ) ( you'll educate !)
2) call non emergency number 503 815 19 11, and do call them again if situation is resolved .
3 DO leave notes on the window shield saying < Dog inside hot car > this let’s car owner know that their carelessness is being noticed .
This situation has happened twice in Manzanita so far. it took a second person ‘ intervention for finally convince a busy manager to reach out to their customers… 5 mis later car had moved .
Be a voice for the animals …

Submitted By: pattyrinehart@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
Hello Friends and Neighbors!
Friends of North County Recreation District is in need of flowers for their Summer Fundraising. Due to a rather crazy spring our flowers are not producing like they should. We pick our flowers for bouquets fresh at about 8 AM in the morning seven days a week. If we could visit your garden at this time on certain days and pick for bouquets until our regular picking areas come on Friends of NCRD would be forever grateful. Or perhaps you could pick them and we would swing by to collect them. Please contact Gail at gailmyoung@mac.com or call Patty-503-368-6081 and leave a message. Friends Mission is to Support North County Recreation District by Promoting it and Raising Funds for Its Programs & Projects. For the calendar year 2021-2022, Friends provided $6,145 in scholarships for the Pool, Fitness, and Youth programs, with more than half of that amount for Youth programs.

ROPE MAT MAKING WORKSHOP

Submitted By: info@cannonbeacharts.org – Click to email about this post
Cannon Beach Arts Association Workshop

JULY 30, 2022
Rope Mat Making
Instructor: Greg Neitzel
Time: 10 – 1:00PM
Location: Cannon Beach History Center.
Cost: $50 Members
$60 Non-Members

*Materials Included

In the era of wooden boats and iron men “chafing mats” were woven out of repurposed fishing line and placed on the wooden deck in high traffic areas to reduce wear and tear on the wooden deck. I learned how to craft them when I worked on the Barracuda fishing out of Astoria. Oregon in 1973.I conduct workshops around the area and welcome Eager Beaver Weavers to my studio in Svensen, Oregon.All the repurposed line is from the commercial fishing fleet of crabbers and long liners fishing in the Pacific ocean and serves as the connection between the incredible bounty of our oceansand the hardworking hands that harvest it each year. The line is imbued with great fish karma.

Workshop requirements:

-be able to stand and move around for several hours

-neatly trimmed fingernails

-the ability to hammer a nail straight without hitting your thumb

-spatial intelligence

-concentration

-a certain amount of obsessive/compulsive DNA

-pride in one’s craft

Black or almost black female kitten

Submitted By: babbles@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
i posted this request two or three weeks ago.

my best reply was from the Tillamook Animal Shelter which has a female black kitten. i was slated to pick her up after a week or so, when she had had her shots and they deemed her well.

alas and alack, i filled out an application at the last minute, including the information that cats that live with me have 24/7 access to be outdoors or indoors via a cat door. i then learned that i am disqualified because the shelter will ONLY ADOPT OUT TO INDOOR HOMES.

i was sad for myself, for my cat that would love feline company, and for all the cats and kittens that are doomed to an indoor life.

so i am back in the market for a sweet black, or almost all black, or tortoiseshell, kitten.

i know that sooner or later the right kitten will come my way. she will be well-fed, loved, and have feline companionship.

Combo paddleboard/kayaks for sale

Submitted By: robyn@wagnell.com – Click to email about this post
Innovative combination SUP and SOT kayaks for sale.

Is it possible to have too many kayaks? There’s two of us humans and seven kayaks, and our diminishing garage space dictates that two have to go (kayaks; not humans).

The Origami Paddler ® can be used as either a SUP (standup -paddleboard) or SOT (sit on top kayak) – ideal for cruising the Nehalem river. The boat consists of three pieces that fold together and can fit in your car, allowing you to go “from trunk to water in minutes.”

Colors yellow and orange; weighs approximately 45 pounds.
Specs: 32 inches wide and 8′ 11″ long.
When folded, it is 35.5” x 31.5” x 13.5” and 7- 7.5” thick.

Acquired late 2021 (kickstarter program) for $639 each – new, never used (we’ve been traveling overseas). Asking $400 for both. Includes paddles and “freedom carts” and shoulder straps for transporting.

Checkout the Origami Paddler website for more details, and watch these videos for setup details to see new users with the Origami Paddler.

Remember a Time When It Was OK to be a Political Moderate?

Submitted By: genedieken@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
Here’s a link to the NYT Magazine article referenced in Conklin’s post:
www.nytimes.com/2022/06/29/magazine/moderate-democrat.html

I’m not entirely sure what Mr. Conklin is advocating. Perhaps that Democrats have left the middle ground and become immoderate?

An example of moderation given in the article is that Democrats can win if they use Bill Clinton’s formula of implementing “Tough on [fill in the blank]” programs. Let’s take a look back at three of Clinton’s most significant initiatives.

Tough on Crime: largely responsible for the massive spike in incarceration in the last three decades. It made the U.S. an outlier among Western democracies.
www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/1994-crime-bill-and-beyond-how-federal-funding-shapes-criminal-justice

Tough on Welfare: created the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program which today barely reaches the poorest families and was subsequently used by Republicans as a template in attempts to kill Medicaid & Obamacare.
www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/02/welfare-reform-tanf-medicaid-food-stamps/552299/

Tough on Mental Health Reimbursements: the driving force behind deinstitutionalization. It pushed patients onto the street and swapped institutions for prisons. It contributes to today’s homelessness crisis.
ps.psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/appi.ps.51.11.1397

None of these programs were ultimately moderate. So perhaps it’s understandable if Dems might not be excited about 21st Century versions.

Frankly, the Democratic Party is a mess in general but remains well within the range of what one might expect in a broad, reasonably healthy, multi-ethnic party struggling with modernity. The same can’t be said of our Republican friends who are cruising at flank speed toward a vision of governance that is anything but moderate.

The Town Hall Listening Sessions are designed to gather information to better understand the key issues we are facing in our community from the community’s perspective. These listening sessions will also serve as the starting point for establishing a vision for the future of our city, highlighting key issues that will need to be addressed through an update of the Comprehensive Plan and providing guidance to the City Council on the most important issues facing our community.

I will be there to help facilitate and city staff will be on hand to answer questions.

CelloBop at the Manzanita Library, Wednesday, July 13 at 10:00am!

Submitted By: jenna.edginton@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Gideon Freudmann is a cellist and composer who has redefined the role of the instrument for over three decades. He is perhaps best known for adapting the amplified cello to craft the distinct ‘CelloBop’ sound, consisting of a unique blend of classical, jazz, folk, rock, blues and funk. Using foot-operated effect pedals, he has brought cello playing into new territories of looping, soaring, multi-layering and improvisation. His music is complex, nuanced, creative and compelling.

Upcoming events at the Manzanita Library:
CelloBob: July 13, 10:00am
Leapin’ Louie: July 18, 2:00pm
The Alphabeticians: August 4, 10:00am
