White Clover Grange Celebrates Spring with “A Garden Affaire” Event March 26th

The White Clover Grange invites the community to A Garden Affaire on Saturday March 26 from 10 am to 3 pm. This traditional springtime event, a kick off to the 2022 gardening season, features local vendors selling vegetables, plant starts, flowers, microgreens, native plants and baked goods. The Sharpenater will be on hand to spruce up your tools.
At noon, Hope Stanton of Aldervale Native Plants will give a talk and answer questions, and at 1 pm Teresa Retzlaff of 46 North Farm in Olney will share her experiences with “dry land” farming and gardening. (Suggested donation for Teresa’s talk is $10). The Nehalem Garden Club will host a seed exchange featuring some free packaged seeds as well as seeds collected by local gardeners. Community members with seeds to share are encouraged to bring them and trade.
And, the White Clover Grange is proud to announce the relocation of the Shelly Bowe Memorial “HomeGrown” farm stand, previously located in the parking lot of Kendras River Inn. Opening for it’s third season, we expect to be open for this event, stocked up with early garden needs.

Join in this spring celebration by bringing canned goods to donate to our local food pantries.
The Grange is located at 36585 Highway 53, about 2 miles north of the Mohler Coop.

Stop sitting in chairs at the beach or campsite that will leave you with back pain! This baby has all kind of back and butt support. No sagging. It’s a life saver.

House Cleaner

Submitted By: koleagirl@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I am looking to lighten my load of houses that I clean. I am helping the homeowners find a back up cleaner with the potential to completely take over.

They are looking for an experienced house cleaner that is licensed to work in Manzanita. There are approx 3 houses that are rentals, and one family house. These houses are each owned by different people so the cleaner will probably have to meet with each owner.

Please email me at koleagirl@gmail.com if interested in all or maybe one some of them.

Thanks
CC

Short Term Rentals: Time to Pause

Submitted By: pelksorensen@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Thank you for your post. I agree 100% that STRs have gotten out of hand. We had our own experience with them:
A new house was built behind us. When it was sold, we met the neighbor, a nice woman who said she would be living their full time. A couple of weeks later, a hot tub was installed. After that, the STR sign went in the window. Then, the parties started because you can’t rent a house with a hot tub and not have a party, right? Loud music, doors slamming, people yelling at all hours of the night. It got so bad that the owners of the house next door quickly moved out and made their house an STR as well. We called the management company multiple times. We entered complaints with the county. We called the Sheriff regularly. We had a meeting with the county and the management company showed up but not the owner. Seems she didn’t want to get involved. Nothing helped. Every two days or so, a new group would show up and the process would start again. We were miserable.
I relate our experience not for pity, we ended up building another house in an area with better rules about STRs, but to relate what can happen. From our experience, the county’s authority is limited, the management company doesn’t care as long as they get paid and the owner doesn’t care because she making money and doesn’t have to live next to it. Since we were outside Manzanita, they didn’t care either. It’s all about a few people making money at the expense of the community.
I would like the city to explain:
• Why is commercial activity allowed in residential areas?
• Why is it not supportive of the motels in the area that are zoned for rentals? Seems like allowing STRs is taking business away from them.
• Why doesn’t the city create STR zones like Lincoln City, Newport, etc. where they are allowed and make the rest of the community STR free? If bigger cities can do it, why can’t we?
I look forward to hearing what the city has to say at the meeting tomorrow. People with opinions one way or the other are encouraged to attend.
Paul.
