Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: weneedhighspeedinternet@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Tillamook County has been building a massive Internet fiber system throughout the county for over 20 years, but it has not been available to the general public.

Because of the pandemic, millions of dollars in Federal grants have become available in an effort to get high-speed Internet to EVERY home in rural America. There is currently a grant available that would bring Internet all along the Highway 6 Corridor. We need to let county leaders know that we want and need high-speed, AFFORDABLE Internet.

Please sign the letter for better, cheaper Internet throughout Tillamook County!

It along with the list of signatures will be presented to the County Commissioners, and the boards for TPUD, the Port of Tillamook Bay, and the board of Tillamook Lightwave, which is the entity that has been managing the building of the fiber system.

Go to tinyurl.com/WeNeedHighSpeedInternet to include your name.

The letter was prepared by an Action Team of Local Citizens.
If you have questions you may email WeNeedHighSpeedInternet@gmail.com

Thank you!

What/Where is the Focus in Manzanita?

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

What/Where is the Focus in Manzanita?

We have been told for years that the City of Manzanita is in urgent need of a new City Hall. Years of ineffective planning despite all the ‘consultants’, maintenance negligence, lack of
vision and failed funding efforts have brought us to this point.
The current leadership have rejected the value of sustainability by refusing to consider renovation of the much loved old school despite a lengthy professional engineering report (WRK) stating
its structural integrity. The lay politicians have declared it otherwise. By contrast, vision and leadership is on full display in Cannon Beach with a Mayor and Council that is remodeling their 1950 Elementary school and quonset hut to create a
‘Model Community Center”. The Cannon Beach remodel costs clearly confirm that an Underhill remodel could save $1.5 million or more over the Council’s own estimate of a new build and free
up money for other needed City projects.
The City Council have rejected the value of our history and architectural interest of the old school. Future generations will condemn us for this short sightedness. Instead, the citizens will get bulldozed into accepting the outdated, overbuilt concept the
politicians prefer.
It is curious, then, as the projects ramp up (Tillamook Headlight Herald 1/15/22) why there is an effort to DUPLICATE emergency services as an add-on to a future City Hall. This makes no sense. With a state of the art Fire Station less than a
mile away complete with 7 bathrooms, a daycare facility, multiple meeting rooms and sophisticated communications center. Huh?
And a medical clinic closer still.
The diffuse approach to the city hall project by council reflects their inability to focus and get the building done. Keep the focus on city employees so they can conduct the city’s business and not on expensive, superfluous pet projects that get in the way.
Endorse the values of sustainability and value our history and those who have put their stamp on the community.
Sincerely,
Linda Ballard
Manzanita Homeowner

Chinook Rearing in Nearshore Sandy Habitats w/ Dr Jose R Marin Jarrin

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: LNWC@Nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
Virtual Presentation: Chinook Rearing in Nearshore Sandy Habitats w/ Dr Jose R Marin Jarrin!

On February 10th, 2022 Dr Jose R Marin Jarrin from the Humbolt State University Department of Fisheries Biology will share his experience and knowledge of nearshore sandy ecosystems as part of the Lower Nehalem Watershed Council’s speaker series. In 2013 he published a paper on the use of sandy beach environments as nurseries for juvenile Chinook salmon. Since then his research has spanned a wide variety of marine biology topics including a chapter in the 2022 book “Sandy Beaches as Endangered Ecosystems” titled “The Biology and Ecology of Sandy Beach Surf Zones.” It’s really exciting to have such an expert in his field come present to us!

His research on Chinook use of sandy beach environments explored what role that environment plays in their life history. His research sought to describe that use through field collections, otolith sampling, and comparison of growth between estuarine and sandy beach Chinook juveniles. This is sure to be a great story about both the process of science and an opportunity to learn more about what’s happening off shores very much like those here by the mouth of the Nehalem.

Dr Jose Marin Jarrin earned his PhD in Fisheries Science at Oregon State University, with a Masters in Marine Biology from University of Oregon, and his Bachelors from the University of Guayaquil in Ecuador. Since 2008 he’s published at least 32 times on marine biology topics!

The talk will be on February 10th at 7 pm, hosted on Zoom, and is free to the public. The zoom link is us02web.zoom.us/j/84340270734 or on the Faceboook event at www.facebook.com/lnwc1. You can also contact the watershed council at lnwc@nehalemtel.net. A recording of this presentation will also be posted on the LNWC’s YouTube channel with our other recorded presentations. Just search for “Lower Nehalem Watershed Council” on YouTube.

Prior to the presentation the LNWC will be holding a meeting of the Board. This is a great opportunity to hear about Lower Nehalem Watershed Council activities, organizational health, and to connect with the council yourself. The board meeting will begin at 5 pm and end just before the presentation begins.

Stay posted for the Lower Nehalem Watershed’s Speaker Series other great talks coming up:

• March: Andy Bluhm (OSU), Red Alder in Coastal Oregon Forests
• April: Jon Souder (OSU), Trees to Tap: How Forest Practices Affect Oregon’s Municipal Water
