Your 4th of July Parade Committee
1st Security Bank of Washington Invests in Better North Coast Health and Senior Care
(Wheeler) – The Manzanita branch of 1st Security Bank of Washington earlier this year provided a $5,000 unrestricted contribution to the Nehalem Bay Health District to enhance the construction budget for the new Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy and the renovation budget for our region’s only skilled nursing facility.
The Health District board has expressed its great thanks to the staff at the Manzanita branch for their support for the Health District as well as for the Nehalem Valley Care Center.
And a very special thanks to Manzanita branch manager Jessie Davidson for championing the donation from 1st Security.
Unrestricted contributions like that made by 1st Security Bank are particularly valuable in that they allow greater flexibility in how the Health District utilizes general obligation bond funding approved by voters in May 2023. The bond dollars are designed to support construction of the new Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy, renovation of the Nehalem Valley Care Center and pre-development work related to the eventual creation of workforce housing.
Under Oregon law donations to the Health District, an Oregon special district, are tax deductible for the donor.

Host: Welcome, everybody, to Manzanita Jeopardy! It’s the game show where knowing your city budget could win you some serious bragging rights. I’m your host, Bob Ledger, and today we’ve got three contestants who are ready to put their fiscal knowledge of Manzanita to the test! Let’s meet them!
[The camera pans to the first contestant, a middle-aged man in a suit.]
Host: Our first contestant is Dave, an
accountant who claims he can balance a budget blindfolded. Welcome, Dave.
Dave: Ready to crunch some numbers,Bob.
[The camera moves to the second contestant, a woman in a bright blouse.]
Host: Next up, we have Linda, a city planner who says she knows every
inch of Manzanita. Is that true, Linda?
Linda: Absolutely, Bob! From Neahkahnie to Nehalem Bay park, I’ve got it all mapped out.
[The camera shifts to the third contestant, a young man wearing a t-shirt with the words “Budget Hero.”]
Host: And last but not least, we have Tim, a college student majoring in public administration. Hi, Tim!
Tim: Thanks, Bob! I’ve been studying those city budget reports like they’re
my final exams.
Host: Fantastic! Let’s get right into our categories for today.
They are: ‘Legal Expenses,’ ‘Hidden Investigations,’ ‘City Planning,’ ‘Water Fund Transfers,’ and ‘Severance Packages.’ Dave, as our first contestant, why don’t you pick a category?
Dave: I’ll take ‘Legal Expenses’ for $1,000, Bob.
[The screen shows the clue: “$44,000”]
Host: Dave,
your response?
Dave: What is
“How much was spent on Manzanita’s legal expenses for the month of May.”
Host: Correct! It was a startling number for an investigation everyone assumed was winding down. But the legal costs keep growing. Moving on, Linda, it’s your turn.
Linda: I’ll go with ‘Hidden Investigations’ for $1,000, Bob.
[The screen shows the clue: “The total legal fees for a hidden investigation that council refused
to release.”]
Host: Linda?
Linda:
What is over $200,000?
Host:
Can you be more specific, Linda?
Linda: Well, I could if the city would release the invoices, but they won’t. I know it’s at least $200,000 now and it may keep growing.
Host: Sorry, Linda. I can’t accept that answer. The correct answer is What is the sky’s the limit.
Tim, you’re next.
Tim: I’ll take ‘City Planning’ for $1,000.
[The screen shows the clue: “About 10 feet”]
Host: Tim?
Tim:
“What distance from planned was the location where the new City Hall was mistakenly placed”
Host: You’ve got it! You’d figure with all the money the city spends on consultants, they could get closer than that. Or at least check it out before burying all that concrete.
Anyhow, Dave, back to you.
Dave: ‘Water Fund Transfers’ for $1,000.
[The screen shows the clue: “$645,000”]
Host: Dave?
Dave:
“What is the total amount transferred from the water fund to the general fund in the last four years.”
Host: Correct! Manzanita has really been draining the water fund. The
lawyers and consultants have to be
paid from somewhere. We’ll worry about infrastructure later.
And finally, Linda, you get the last category.
Linda: I’ll take ‘Severance Packages’ for $1,000.
[The screen shows the clue: ” 50%”]
Host: Linda?
Linda:
“What is the percentage increase in severance for the city manager recently authorized by the city council.?”
Host: That’s right! A deal for 9 months’ severance for leaving sounds pretty sweet, especially with ongoing rising legal fees. That brings us to the end of our first round and this episode of Manzanita Jeopardy. Tune in next time for Manzanita Double Jeopardy!, where the stakes, the consulting fees and the legal fees—get even higher! See you next time everybody.

Ken Boddie, Portland TV fixture, will M.C. Music Event at NCRD on June 23
Celebration and Fundraiser for Nehalem Bay Health Center features Blue Band
Ken Boddie, a four decade-long fixture of Portland’s KOIN 6 TV, will be on the north coast later this month to serve as MC of a community celebration and fundrasier for the new Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy.
The Sunday, June 23 event at the NCRD Performing Arts Center in Nehalem will feature the national and international blues recording artist Rick Estrin and his band The Night Cats.
Tickets are available at Ticket Tomato: www.tickettomato.com/event/8701/rick-estrin-amp-the-nightcats
“Ken is a big blues and jazz fan and has long supported the annual Waterfront Blues Festival and the Portland Jazz Festival,” said Rich Silverman of the North Coast Music Project who is producing the NCRD show. “It’s a natural for us to have him MC this great community event. And we are delighted he is able to be part of the event.”
Boddie recently relinquished his role as co-anchor of “KOIN 6 News This Morning” to accept a promotion to serve as the station’s political director. His distinguished journalism career includes a regional EMMY Award for his role anchoring “Eye on Northwest Politics.”
All proceeds from the concert will directly benefit the new Health Center and Pharmacy. The event will also involve early peeks at various elements of the new facility, special guests and announcements, including the official groundbreaking on the 16,000 square foot Health Center.

The next LIVE Mindful Money Method class starts on July 2nd.
It’s a calling of mine to support women in reducing financial overwhelm and increasing overall confidence while setting them up for a future they love.
Many women are feeling anxious about their financial future. I’m focused on helping them with a loving, kind and effective approach; it’s like yoga for your money.
Hundreds of women have changed their financial trajectory and will eventually change their legacy from learning to approach money with mindfulness. Their stories ranged from $240K in debt and not sleeping to $7M in net-worth and scared to spend any of it.
More importantly, they have built a healthy relationship with money and themselves. And the mindset work translates to other areas of their lives like health and relationships.
The small group class meets LIVE with me for nine Tuesdays at 1 PM PT on Zoom in addition to following the online course curriculum. The result is calm confidence in any financial decision thru awareness, clarity and vision for your financial future. I believe your best financial plan is the one you create and I will show you how.
This 5-star Google review course is best suited for women that feel like they weren’t taught about money, feel stuck with their earnings or paralyzed making financial decisions. We identify values & desires, create financial safety nets & debt payoff plans, determine our financial independence number, edit our money stories, and so much more.
The online course & LIVE class cost $457; however, women in Tillamook County can use coupon code LOCALS40 for a 40% discount. Registration closes on June 26.

Commemorative posters for this year’s Fourth of July parade in Manzanita will go on sale at the Manzanita Visitor Center beginning Saturday, Jun. 1.
The 2024 posters will cost $30 each. Proceeds from the sale help fund the parade itself, including prizes, signs, supplies, and trash pickup. Copies of several previous years’ collectible posters are also available for $20 each.
The 2024 posters can be purchased by credit card through the “Donate” button on the parade website, or by check or cash at the Visitor Center.
The Center is located at 31 Laneda Ave. It is open Thursdays through Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Mondays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Local artist Lori Dillon created the poster. “I was both honored and a little intimidated to be asked again,” she said. “I learned a lot doing last year’s poster and had a few ideas floating around in my head for this year’s work.”
Building on the 2024 parade theme “Soar Fourth,” the poster’s prominent feature is a seagull soaring high above Manzanita Beach. “Other soaring objects include kites, balloons, a pinwheel, a rocket and, of course, an American flag – or two,” said Dillon. “I think the spirit of the parade is captured by a figure I included centered at the bottom of the poster,” she added.
Information about the July 4th parade, including the required online registration for participants, can be found at the parade’s official website – manzanitaparade.com. Also included are parade guidelines, volunteer opportunities, the parade route, and much more.
Manzanita’s Fourth of July parade starts at 1:00 p.m. at the corner of Laneda Avenue and Division Street. The traditional, small-town celebration has been a highlight of the summer season for several years.
Copies of the 2024 poster will also be on sale at the Manzanita Farmers Markets on Friday, June 21, and June 28. Artist Dillon will be on hand to personalize posters.
