Let’s Get Internet Along the 6!!! and More!

We CAN HAVE High Speed Internet Throughout the County.
There''s a big meeting this Friday and we need to show that the community wants this. Please sign and share the letter.
————————————————————– 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. 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.
To sign the letter go to: tinyurl.com/weneedhighspeedinternet
The letter was prepared by an Action Team of Local Citizens. If you have questions you may email WeNeedHighSpeedInternet@gmail.com
Thank you!
——————————————————————- THIS IS THE TEXT OF THE LETTER:
To our County Commissioners and to the board members of the Tillamook PUD, the Port of Tillamook Bay, and Tillamook Lightwave;
Through your collective efforts over the past twenty-two years Tillamook Lightwave has achieved the vision of building a robust fiber-optic network throughout our county that has helped businesses and public entities thrive.
We now ask that you make every effort to bring accessible and affordable high-speed Internet to every household in Tillamook County.
The need is great. Utilizing the Internet is no longer a luxury. It is a solution to keep us connected; not only to each other, but to the world. It is a tool, a teacher, and sometimes a lifeline. It has become as necessary as any other utility and is used on a daily basis by nearly every resident in the county.
But access is limited by high costs, vast areas with no coverage, and painfully slow speeds. For a large portion of our county, both Internet and cell phone coverage are unavailable. This includes areas like Oceanside, Miami-Foley Road, and the dangerous Highway 6 corridor, which claimed seven lives last year. You have the power to change this.
We are families, farmers, students, artists, workers, creators, entrepreneurs, retirees, travelers on the roads, long time residents, and senior citizens. We live downtown and down long, lonely roads with no neighbors for miles. We, the citizens of Tillamook County, ask that a new vision for the future of Tillamook Lightwave be set. A vision that has room to continue the great work that Tillamook Lightwave has done for industry, but one that also has room to encompass the people.
Thank you for your time and your service.

Writers Read Celebration Explores ‘Recovery’ on March 5

Submitted By: nmccarthy1276@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
In an era when the word “recovery” is on the minds of many people, the word manifests itself in myriad ways.
For 11 writers selected to read during the Cannon Beach Library’s Writers Read Celebration, “recovery” ranges from life after Covid to tending to an ailing bird. Recovery also means a light-splashed winter day, finding the path after being lost on a trail, discovering an old swimming hole or relearning to garden as a cyborg.
The Celebration begins at 7 p.m. Saturday, March 5 on Facebook Live. Viewers don’t have to be Facebook members. To access the program, go to the library’s website at www.cannonbeachlibrary.org and click on the banner at the top of the page. The event can also be reached by going to the library’s Facebook page.
Last year, the Writers Read Celebration reached more than 1,300 viewers.
This is the fourth year the Cannon Beach Library has hosted the Writers Read Celebration. Sixteen pieces to be read include poems, essays, a rap and a “shuffle” poem, where individual lines are written and shuffled to create different poems.
From November through January, the Cannon Beach Library’s NW Authors Series Committee asked writers to submit entries on the theme, “Recovery?” to be read at the Writers Read Celebration. The pieces were to be no longer than 600 words.
A five-member panel selected 16 pieces from 45 entries without knowing who wrote them. The writers range from Camas, Washington to Wheeler, Oregon and include several from Clatsop and Tillamook counties. The writers who will read their works are:
• Scott T. Starbuck, Battle Ground, Washington: poem, “Slim’s Tree”
• Bill Grafius, Gearhart: poems, “The Cyborg Gardener,” “Deciding Factor”
• Steven Mayer, Cannon Beach: essay, “On Recovery”
• Phyllis Mannan, Manzanita: story, “Holes” and poem, “Poem with a Line from Lao Tzu”
• John Ciminello, Naselle, Washington: poems, “The Douser,” “Back to the Beginning”
• Karen Keltz, Tillamook: poems, “Another Kind of Resilience,” “Realm of Possibility”
• Emily Ransdell, Camas, Washington: poems, “Consider the Blackberry,” “Our Pandemic Year”
• Jennifer Nightingale, Astoria: poem, “Everything Changed”
• Kristen Nekovar, Astoria: rap poem, “Pill Bug”
• L Swartz, Wheeler: shuffle poem, “Hunger, edges, falling”
• Adria Bagadnani, Manzanita: poem, “Bird”

Nova Planet Series: Saturn

Please join us on Wednesday February 16 at 7:00 pm to Enjoy “Nova Planet Series: Saturn” in the NCRD Performing Arts Center.
This event is free to the public and everyone is welcome.
Over the past 40 years, a handful of space probes has given us glimpses of Saturn. But NASA’s Cassini, which explored the gas giant’s realm for 13 years, delivered the most breathtaking new insights. NOVA takes you inside Cassini’s epic journey as it makes stunning discoveries: Saturn’s rings are younger than the dinosaurs and may be remnants of an ice moon. And geysers erupting ice and gas on the moon Enceladus show that it could have all the ingredients for life. But to protect it, the Cassini mission team makes a bittersweet decision.

I will be replacing my sister''''s manufactured home with a newer, smaller one in May, so we are hoping to find someone who has a vacation trailer/small rv, that is not being used and could make someone some income for a couple months. The site is right off hwy 26, flat, easy access, no wear and tear, next to a barn with power and water. She would need it for May and June. Very responsible lady! Thanks for considering!

High Speed Internet for Tillamook County

Submitted By: julian@tele.com – Click to email about this post
Tillamook County although productive and fertile was hard
to reach before the New Deal really opened the area up bringing in
improved communications, roads, electricity and telephones.

The Rural Electrification Administration (REA) under
the New Deal brought electricity and telephones to rural parts
of the US, enabling commerce, education and manufacturing
outside the cities.

With telephone service news and commerce could now
travel at the speed of light.

The first half of the Twentieth Century brought voice
telephones to anyone that wanted them, no matter their income
or location. The latter half of the Twentieth Century brought
us digital communications (modems) on top of the voice lines.
With that came on line ordering, on line banking, electronic mail
and file transfers, such as sending in accounting data to
head office.

Data communications have like the voice telephone
before it have gone from something that interested and helped
commerce and some hobbyists to a daily essential.

Today, with an internet connection you can handle
accounts, send e-mail, video-conference, watch movies, send
documents around the world in seconds, look at remote cameras at
the front door or your holiday home. If you make phone calls via
the internet using Voice over IP. Your work phone extension can
now also be a phone in your house this makes working from home a
breeze.

Adding all these features to the Internet requires
faster internet speeds. When a house has someone watching
streamed movies, someone killing Zombies in an online game and
someone having a video chat a regular DSL or cable
connection gets overwhelmed. These days with all these services
available your internet connection tends to choke. Web pages
start taking a long time to load, streamed movies pause and stutter,
online games become hard to play.

What we need is wider pipes. Just as the solution to
traffic clogging a road is more lanes, the solution is a fatter
pipe to the home or business.

The way to do this is go away from using copper to send
data (DSL via the phone line and TV Cable) and move to glass
(fiber optic cable).

There are limits to the amount of data you can carry on
copper. How much better is fiber? Currently a copper internet
connection to your home is like a goat path and a fiber connection
to your home is like a six lane straight highway.

Tillamook county has fiber everywhere, buried along our
roads along the railway line and attached to power poles, as I like to say
“Tillamook county has more fiber than a vegan potluck”.

There is an Inter Government Agency called Tillamook Lightwave. Currently they provide high speed wide bandwidth Internet Access to County offices, schools, libraries and big companies like the Tillamook Creamery. We need that same good service in all our homes and businesses.

Here in Oregon, the cities of Sandy and Hillsboro amongst
others have affordable fiber to the home, so it can be done.

A few observations about the Freedom Convoy truckers:
When is a minority of a minority enfranchised to demand the resignation of a sitting head of state in return for ending a siege? This feels somewhat like Ammon Bundy and the Three Percenters in the U.S.
Didn''t the Timber Unity truckers demand Kate Brown''s resignation a couple of years ago in Salem?
Ottawa person-on-the-street interviewees had a hard time expanding on the rights/freedoms that had been so egregiously abridged. Perhaps that''s because the comfortable seldom have cause to think about them?
The Canadian military (unlike its U.S. counterpart) is mustering out active-duty service members who participated in this uprising. Also unlike the U.S., law enforcement was savvy enough not to turn protestors into examples of police abuse.
Not surprisingly, the link attached to this post takes you to a website that also features the fringy video [Nuremberg 2, Covid-19 as a crime against humanity] that D. Gainer posted on BBQ a few days ago. I''m also not surprised that the truckers'' cause has been embraced by Fox News and a dozen of the most unctuous and craven U.S. Senators.
Careful what you wish for.
