Who do you want to lead our country for the next 4 years?

hi y’all in BBQ-land,

I received an email from Bre Maxwell, Rural Coalitions Director, DNC, with commentary and links to an interview with VP Kamala Harris on The View.

I have never watched The View because I don’t watch mainstream TV. I googled information and learned that it is “a venue for lively, informed debates on current events, especially politics.” Originated by Barbara Walters and currently led by longtime host, Whoopi Goldberg, five women with very different outlooks on politics, Hollywood and its stars, and current events discuss these and other divisive topics of the day.

In addition, The View also conducts interviews with prominent figures, such as celebrities and politicians. Thus, the interview with VP Kamala Harris.

I also learned that it’s viewed by more than 2,000,000 viewers. Wowza! That’s a lot of folks watching The View.

I have copied and pasted below an excerpt from that commentary sent to me.

This is part of the reason why I am voting for Kamala Harris to be the next President of the United States.

Respectfully submitted,

Om peace namaste

Lucy Brook
Nehalem resident

• The Vice President’s plans to lower care costs for millions of Americans stand in stark contrast to Trump and his Project 2025 agenda.
o As president, Trump tried to cut Medicare and Medicaid in every single one of his budgets, has called for raising the retirement age to 70, and said privatizing Medicare would create a “stronger system.”
o He denied millions of families the full child tax credit and tried to cut federal child care funding by nearly $100 million.
o His Project 2025 agenda will actually raise costs on families by $4,000 a year.

Unfortunately, the chart in the message i received won’t post on BBQ. You know, it’s the “wrong format.” Aargh! Technology!

So I have copied the two sides of the chart in the narrative below.

“Kamala Harris wants to expand Medicare to cover home care for seniors for the first time ever.
Donald Trump wants to make devastating cuts to Medicare.

Kamala Harris wants to cut average child care costs in half.
Donald Trump, when he was President, tried to cut funding for federal child care and youth services by nearly $100 million.

Kamala Harris wants to expand access to good child care options.
Donald Trump will raise costs on hardworking families by nearly $4,000 a year.”

Having read this, are you surprised that I’ll be voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz for President and Vice President of our country?

NEWS from the Nehalem Bay Health District

Hospital Road in Wheeler to be Closed October 14-17 Due to Construction

Alternative Routes Will be Available

Hospital Road in Wheeler will be closed from Monday, October 14 to Thursday October 17 due to construction related to the new Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy.

The road closure will impact traffic from 7:00 am until 5:30 pm, while construction crews undertake trenching across Hospital Road so that the new Health Center can tie into the city water main for facility water, as well as for the facility’s fire sprinkler system. A new fire hydrant will also be installed on Hospital Road.

Hospital Road will be open during non-construction hours.

Working with the city of Wheeler an alternative route with signage has been identified to allow access to the existing Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy (the former Rinehart Clinic), the Nehalem Valley Care Center and residential areas above the construction site.

The alternative route will direct traffic up Hall Street in Wheeler, allowing access to areas above and adjacent to Hospital Road.

We appreciate the community’s cooperation and hope to minimize inconvenience for those who normally use Hospital Road for access in the area.

Last call for the Community Grief Retreat this weekend!

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: revolutionginger@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
If you have been on the fence about joining us for the Community Grief Retreat this is for you.

There is room for a few more people and scholarships are available. We are offering $50 off registration until Thursday!

Click the link below to register:
www.northfork53.com/events/p/community-grief-ritual

For more information we did several podcasts on grief and community rituals and why we are gathering to do this work.

Check out the podcasts at the link below:
www.northfork53.com/news/2024/9/12/nurture-pod-19-wild-edges-of-grief-and-community

I also offer this for your heart to consider if you are wanting to come but hesitating.

When you turn towards grief expect shame to step in and offer you thoughts like:

You don’t need a grief retreat, that it’s not that bad.
Others have it way worse than you do.
It will be embarrassing to be in front of other people.
You’ll look terrible crying.
What if everyone else can go “there” but you can’t?
You’ll look so weird and feel out of place.
No one will like you. You won’t fit in.
Better to stay home. Watch Netflix. Eat ice cream.
Let those weirdos do grief rituals- that’s not for you.

Shame encourages us to hide. To pretend. To people please. To be “perfect” so no one can really see us.

The only way to rid ourselves of shame is to be brave. To share our hurt with others and see for ourselves that shame has been lying to us all along.

We do share the same emotions.
We all have grief.
We all feel unworthy of love and connection at times.
We all have wanted to belong but felt like outsiders.
We’re all scared, confused and overwhelmed by the world.

This is why it’s so powerful and necessary to do grief work with community.

Shame cannot exist when we show up in a group and share the places in us that have not known love.
