Summer Concert at Fire Mountain School – Red Yarn!

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: firemountainschool@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
On Saturday, August 22, we would love for you to join us for a summer concert with the wonderful Red Yarn, right here on our forest campus.

If you have not yet met Red Yarn, you are in for a treat. Andy Furgeson, the Portland-based performer behind the red beard, blends folk, rock and roll, and a cast of handmade puppet “critters” into a show that has families singing and dancing together. He has played festivals from Austin City Limits to Pickathon, and his albums have earned some of the top honors in family music. Best of all, his music carries the same spirit we cherish at Fire Mountain: curiosity, community, and pure joy.

Here is what to know:

When: Saturday, August 22, at 4:00 p.m.
Where: Fire Mountain School
Tickets: All kids attend free. Adult tickets are $25, available here: www.firemountainschool.org/store/p15/Red_Yarn_at_FMS.html

Bring your own picnic and make an afternoon of it.

Every ticket supports our programs and our students. Fundraising covers about a third of what it takes to run our school each year, and community gatherings like this one help us keep the magic alive for the children who learn and play in these woods.

Bring your family, bring your neighbors, spread out a blanket, and celebrate summer with us. We cannot wait to see you there.

Response To Which Mayor Led The Decision

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: rkinor@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Councilor Stock was appointed to City Council in September 2023.

Councilor Stock voted to approve Resolution 23-23 at the December 6, 2023 City Council meeting.

The staff report by the City Manager explaining the  City Hall loan agreement with Business Oregon that the Council was voting on with Resolution 23-23 stated   ” At the end of construction, the interim financing of the project is recommended for inclusion in a future Bond Bank sale. Once the bonds are sold a permanent rate will be locked in and the interim financing contract will be replaced with a permanent financing contract.” 

Councilor Stock and now Mayor Stock  has been on Council during each of the examples of the public record that I cite in my post that reference the permanent financing of the City Hall debt through the Oregon Bond Bank yet announced that she was “surprised that we were going to the Bond market.”

I appreciate and can understand Ms. Tinnin coming to the defense of her spouse in this matter. I will pass on trying to understand or explain what Mayor Simmons, the war in Iran, gas prices, mortgage rates and tariffs has to do with Mayor Stock’s surprise reaction on how City Hall financing through the Oregon Bond Bank was being explained to us for the past 3 years.

Submitted By: laura@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
North County Community,
Due to unforeseen circumstances (lack of volunteers), the HUGGS North County recycling program has to PAUSE for at least 6 weeks. We are exploring other options to continue to provide this recycling opportunity and we need your help. We need volunteers to assist with collection, storage and transport of the plastics for the program to continue.
HUGGS original goal was to place three benches in North County parks with Suicide Prevention information – we’ve earned FOUR benches, and now need to ask for the community’s help for the program to continue. Please DO NOT DROP OFF plastics at any of the the drop-off locations until further notice. If you are interested in helping/volunteering, etc. with the plastics recycling, please reach out to HUGGS – contact Laura Swanson at laura@nehalemtel.net.

Manzanita City Hall Debt Financing Plan Rejected

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: rkinor@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
At the July City Council meeting, it was announced that the City had failed to be approved to proceed to the Oregon Bond Bank for the permanent debt financing for the new City Hall. In explaining this development, the Mayor stated she “remembered we were actually surprised that we were going to go to the Bond market. We thought it would be a long term relationship with Business Oregon”.

The public record of how the long term City Hall debt financing was publicly described and would be paid is pretty clear:
1. November 2023 Staff Report to Council. “Debt service payments will begin when the loan is sold to the Bond Bank and permanent financing is in place”.
2. November 2023 hand out document for public explanation on City Hall financing plan. “Sold to the Bond Bank at that time a permanent rate will be set”.
3. 2025/26 Budget. “Ultimately the loan will be sold to the Oregon Bond Bank..”
4. September 2025 Council meeting explanation by City Manager. “It will get sold to the Oregon Bond Bank”.
4. 2026/27 Budget. “the City intends to convert the interim construction financing to long term debt through the Oregon Bond Bank”.

If the Mayor was surprised that the debt financing of City Hall was going to be through the Oregon Bond Bank, imagine the public’s reaction. After 3 years of an unequivocal explanation, we now find that what we were told is not happening.

The City in fact chose not to enter into a long term relationship with Business Oregon which they could have done by approving a 20 year long term loan rather than pursue a Bond sale. What the City did accept from Business Oregon was quite clear by approving an agreement concluding that “long term financing provided through the Oregon Bond Bank”.

This has become a pattern of Manzanita City government. Tell citizens one thing and then tell us or do something completely different and trust that no one will notice.

I share my observations about our City officials because their actions impact those of us who reside here. My observations may cause discomfort for City officials and routinely elicit spasms of outrage among some in the community including a fair number who don’t live in Manzanita.

Words matter. Let’s all hope that those running for City Council this November genuinely appreciate this fact when communicating with us.

The North Coast Temperate Rainforest Isn’t Disappearing — It’s Gone

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: coyotevibe@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
PRESS RELEASE

North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection (NCCWP) is sponsoring a presentation of aerial photographs by Richard Felley entitled:

The North Coast Temperate Rainforest Isn’t Disappearing — It’s Gone

Tuesday, August 25, 6pm
St. Mary’s by the Sea Parish Hall
275 S. Pacific Street, Rockaway Beach
Free Admission

Richard Felley will present his aerial photos of clearcuts on private and state forests, with a discussion and information on what you can do about it. He will discuss how the timber industry transforms our native, real forests into clearcuts, and then into tree farms. The aerial photos were taken from a helicopter flying over Tillamook and Clatsop counties.

Felley says: “My purpose for acquiring the images is that I have gone into the woods (tree farms) for over 40 years now to cut firewood and I feel most people really just don’t see up close what I have seen. My concern is that these lands can’t handle the kind of rotations that their owners are imposing on them and, combined with a warming, drying local climate, they are cutting their own throats and impacting the watersheds of everyone by continuing business as usual. Many of the images show tree farms that have clearly been planted 10 to 20 years ago with much die off occurring and no replanting occurring either. In a word I simply call it mismanagement.”

Just as the salmon inspire you to keep swimming upstream, let us keep speaking up to advocate for healthy forests and clean drinking water for all.

NCCWP wants no more logging and pesticide use in community drinking water sources regardless of who owns the land, and wants an end to pesticide applications near where people live, work, and recreate. Safe drinking water and clean air are part of the public trust that we all are entitled to have. Please help North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection safeguard and restore our drinking watersheds.
