Sweden: A success story

Submitted By: andynorris21@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
This post is especially for Governor Kotek and her staff, the Director of the Oregon Health Authority Dave Baden and his staff, the Tillamook County Commissioners (specifically Mary Faith Bell) and the Neahkahnie School Board (specifically Melissa Bayouth).

The people of Oregon suffered enough last time authoritarian narcissist politicians tried to lock us in our houses and shut our schools and businesses.

More Oregonians died from covid due to Governor Brown’s lockdown than if we were not locked down.

A better solution was simple: tell folks to go outside and be healthy.

She and the Oregon Health Authority killed people by telling them to stay inside. More children got hooked on drugs; more children committed suicide from the fascistic anti-science science lockdowns from the OHA and Governor Brown than if they hadn’t locked them in their houses. That is a crime.

Instead of making children’s lives hell, the governor should have simply told them to go outside and play.

Take heed those listed above!

WE WILL NOT LAY DOWN LIKE A BUNCH OF BEAT-DOWN PANSIES AND LET YOU KILL US AND OUR CHILDREN AGAIN WITH YOUR ANTI-LIFE LOCKDOWNS

THAT SH*T IS OVER

And now you know about Sweden. I will assume this is news to most of Oregon’s narcissist politicians: THE SCIENCE IS IN, LOCKDOWNS DON’T WORK.

AND NOW THE PEOPLE OF OREGON KNOW THAT YOU KNOW THE TRUTH.

DON’T TRY TO LOCK US IN OUR HOUSES AGAIN

DO NOT CLOSE OUR SCHOOLS OR MASK OUR CHILDREN AGAIN

Oh my! That’s some fine picnic Chung & Juday & family put on for the community! Good food, good music, and a shot in the arm for our North County Food Bank. Thanks to all the volunteers. Did you know the Food Bank also has a clothing bank right next door? With the changing of the seasons, I am sure they are looking for some warmer clothing, jackets, socks, coats, and blankets. Now, don’t forget Tuesday is $5 flower day on the tables next to the Deli. Flowers by the Friends of North County Recreation District (NCRD) will be there by 9 AM on Tuesday morning.

Beginning on Wednesday, September 6th, Friends of NCRD will have a table set up in the lobby of NCRD, next to the Welcome Center, selling their fall planted/spring blooming bulbs. Friends is featuring nine unusual types of alliums, from exceptionally large to somewhat small. You will also see crocus, snake’s head and hyacinth for sale. We have pictures of what these bulb flowers will look like when they come up in the spring. At this time Friends is taking cash or checks for the bulbs-which will be delivered about mid-October. Friends also have amaryllis and paper whites coming about mid-November. You can see pictures of these flowers too. All the above bulbs will come with planting and growing instructions. To get a sneak peek of all the flowers via email contact Gail at gailmyoung@mac.com or call her at 503-830-3759 and she will get you a booklet. Or you can also call Patty, 503-368-6081, and leave a message. Thanks for supporting Friends of NCRD.

Event 201 and masks on in NY

Submitted By: andynorris21@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
A very good film starts after Brian’s introduction, about 6 minutes in. (Link at end)

First, the filmmaker sheds light on EVENT 201, which saw Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates war-game A GLOBAL CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK at Johns Hopkins.

The thing is…

KLAUS AND BILL’S Johns Hopkins ’event’ OCCURRED 5 MONTHS BEFORE THE ACTUAL GLOBAL CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK.

This is NOT a conspiracy theory: Event 201 very much happened at Johns Hopkins. The people (actors) in the video actually said the things you see and hear them saying.

Can you honestly tell yourself this is all a coincidence?

Event 201 was essentially a business plan from medical tyrant/billionaire Bill Gates and Nazi/communist on steroids Klaus Schwab. The folks who ran ‘the seminar’ helped transfer a trillion dollars of taxpayer dollars to the richest folks on the planet, while scaring and vaxxing the world (not Africa) and shutting down the global economy (carbon-cutting experiment – cut 8%) for a spell.

This is much like the Vietnam War (and every American war of late), which was planned and pre-packaged for Nixon. Kennedy won the election instead, a surprise victory (stole the election actually) and he didn’t want the war, so they killed him and LBJ who was party to the assassination immediately escalated the war in Vietnam.

“Covid1984” and NATO’s war with Russia were pre-packaged for Hillary Clinton. I told every one of my friends that if Biden gets elected, he will gladly start a war with Russia for the war pigs, the war Donald stopped, the war that was supposed to make Hillary a war hero. That’s why Donald Trump is being destroyed: he didn’t want war with Russia. He did go along for the shutdown and the mRNA scam. He is a narcissist asshole for sure. But Donald Trump does not want the United States to go to war with Russia. Biden and the Democrats (not RFK, Jr.) clearly want war with Russia. I’ll vote Trump over Biden any day.

Back to Vietnam: Errol Morris’ film the Fog of War shows how former Ford Motor Co. CEO Robert McNAmara pre-planned the Vietnam War. He essentially made a business plan: He war-gamed the war much like Bill Gates war-gamed the release of the of the lab-engineered SARS-CoV-2, which itself was designed to get the world to get hooked on Big Techs mRNA-tech for life. Surveillance, the World Economic Forum tells us, is ‘about to go under the skin’, and our ’notion of free will is over’.

Listen to what those ‘global leaders’ are saying and discussing in the film below, FIVE MONTHS BEFORE THE PANDEMIC, FIVE MONTHS BEFORE THEY STARTED RELEASING VIRUSES FROM THE WUHAN LAB.

Their words all sound eerily familiar don’t they, because those are the very words ACTUAL GLOBAL LEADERS would be saying five months after this ‘seminar’! The tweets from rappers and rock stars? All pre-planned.

They (Klaus and Bill) war-gamed the entire pandemic that weekend. (But you never heard about it you say? Well, you never heard about WTC Building 7 either did you? The 57-story steel-structure which blew up on live television at 530 PM in lower Manhattan on a Monday in September, then collapsed entirely into its own footprint. Because it was BLOWN UP via controlled demolition.). Fine if you want to come up with a different, benevolent reason Klaus and Bill decided to war-game a global coronavirus outbreak (they want to help us! Uh huh…) five months before an actual global coronavirus outbreak, but ‘the seminar’ happened.

Here is something eerily familiar, and I will say I told ya so (headlines only):

www.the-express.com/news/health/110540/new-york-ncovid-variant-Pirola-masks-labor-day

and

www.yahoo.com/news/covid-hospitalizations-rise-u-enters-002857885.html

It won’t be the same this time, but they ain’t done milking the covid teet.

And just as many of us start to wake up to what happened last time around, expect “Putin” to be boogey-man front and center, as American boots hit the ground in Ukraine and Russia this year.

So yeah, add war to the mix this time around. Maybe a nuke will knock out our grid for 30 days? Maybe an energy weapon hits the San Andreas and we get a tsunami? Maybe ‘Russian hackers’ AKA the CIA, will knock out the power grid and the internet, causing massive starvation and suffering as folks’ smart phones won’t work. These are things more worthy of civics planning than the threat of a 500-year avg. natural tsunami event.

Whatever they (war pigs/Gates/Schwab) do next will likely be related to World War Woke which was started by NATO and is being fought against the people of Ukraine, against logic, against reason, against peace, against us…

But the pandemic stuff is coming back, make no mistake about it.

Here is RFK Jr talking about Event 201, the ’seminar’ which was run by a former Deputy Director of the CIA! A former advocate of torturing prisoners at Guantanamo!:

rumble.com/v2hy41u-r.f.k-jr.-your-government-and-who-planned-covid-19-pandemic-for-decades-to-.html

And here is how it was planned first time around.

Again, fast forward to 5 minutes for the Event 201 stuff.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIXYXEbrB90

Also in the film is Dr. Judy Mankovitz (sp) who worked with Fauci when he was murdering gays with AIDS drugs. At that time, she said, one of narcissist creep Fauci’s goals was to be on Johnny Carson. He did a lot better than Johnny in the end, didn’t he?

(There is a reason Fauci is in the witness protection program)

And for the heck of it, here are 30 studies showing masks don’t work. Again, if you’re sick, please stay home:

Ready your ‘sick kit’ now!

Submitted By: andynorris21@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
As we watch our overlord’s ‘covid mission-creep’ take hold again as they ramp up what Gates’ calls ‘pandemic number two’, with the masks that don’t work (BREATHE!) and the ‘vaccines’ that have killed millions (more than covid maybe? Since most covid deaths were actually influenza.), watch for the initial authoritarianism/totalitarianism to come out of Canada and California, from Klause Schwab’s favorite brownshirts Justin Trudeau and Gavin Newsom.
I was recently reminded of the importance of treating ‘covid’ or whatever this respiratory thing is that they are hitting us with as soon as the infection presents itself, that those who let the infections linger (lingering inflammation bad) are the ones who most-often end up with more overall sickness: brain fog, etc.
So, I advise, after doing a ton of research and NOT listing to Fauci or Fizer or the other Big Tech/Farma sociopath billionaire scum, that as soon as you feel sick, if it’s anything like the flu, take hydroxychloroquine and Nobel Prize-winning ivermectin. Both have been demonized by Fauci and Fizer, by the corrupt CDC and Mode RNA’s big tech boys. The reason those treatments are demonized by the greedy sociopaths mentioned above is because those treatments are CHEAP and THEY WORK. But you can’t find two-dollar ivermectin in communist/Covidian America because Fauci and Biden made it unavailable for us. They want us dead and/or ‘vaxxed’ with brand-new immune-system-hijacking mRNA-tech. Wake up folks.
Also, the virus was engineered for the vaccine. That is elemental understanding if you want to survive round two. The ‘vaccine’ was created decades ago, not during Trump’s Operation Warp speed. Nobody ate bat soup in China either. Remember that? Can you see how incredible stupid and racist that was for us to believe that crap?
Stay away from that ‘vaccine’ by any means necessary.
You can still get hydroxycholoquine and Nobel Prize-winning ivermectin in the internet, but expect Biden to put you in jail for buying or selling it soon, this time around. Get it now while you can.
If you can’t get those two medicines, at Natural Grocers in Warrenton you can find Querceten (from citrus peels I think, which is hydroxychloroquine light as I understand it.) Querceten goes with zinc, and Natural Grocers has their own brand, with the right mix of zinc and querceten, about 30 mg, too much zinc can be bad for liver. Along with these two, Vitamin D is huge in prevention and in getting rid of infection.
Most Africans were smart enough not to ‘vax’ (only 6 percent did), and Africans also have more (sun) Vitamin D than most, and as a result that continent barely saw covid. (Though tens of millions of Africans did die from Klaus Schwab’s experimental carbon-cutting global shutdown (‘covid’ the excuse) – supply lines compromised, no food, they starved. The global shutdown was a massive experiment. Klause wasn’t happy with the results though, the carbon reduction he thought could have been better).
So Vitamin D seems to be very helpful, and for us at this latitude, we can’t even produce vitamin D year round. 25,000 IUs a day is what out bodies makes on a sunny day; I approximate that in the winter, usually take 10,000 IUs a day in summer, again Natural Grocers have a line of their own vitamin d that’s cheap.
NAC and Lysine are worth looking at; as is nattokinase for crushing excessive red spike proteins if you shot ‘the ‘vax’ and seek to detox. Cilantro may help detox some of the metals found in the ‘vax’.
(An issue with ‘the vax’ is that the tech creeps put a whole cocktail of stuff into those vials, and there were many different ‘vaxxes’. So what you have in you could be very different from what they guy behind you got.)
Also helpful when/if you get sick during Gates’ ‘pandemic number two’ are some of the usual suspects when sick: honey, bee pollen, elderberry, black seed oil, vitamin c (lots). Folks have also taken massive doses of vitamin C and D after getting sick and flushed out the toxins/viruses or whatever. Osha root is a nice western US anti-viral plant, but not local, must be purchased.
I found ibuprofen helpful both times I had ‘covid’ or SARS or whatever. For fever AND lung inflammation.
I put spruce tips I freeze (anti-viral suramin I think??) when brewing my coffee daily, sometimes osha as well. Spruce coffee tastes good if nothing else.
If you get sick, at this point I advise taking it very seriously RIGHT AWAY. I recommend having EVERYTHING YOU NEED for getting sick ON HAND NOW. You can lose precious time if you carry a fever for even one night waiting for a store to open. The stores will also be shutdown again this year, but maybe closer to the election so the Dems can get absentee voting widespread again; it worked wonders for Dems last time despite all the evident fraud.
Anyway, get your sick kit for yourself and your family ready now. Don’t wait until you are too sick to go to the store.
Oh, and what’s with all these people wearing masks in public WHO ARE SICK????? Masks don’t fu#king work! If you are sick, please stay home!
Take the above health advice or leave it; I’m not a doctor, and I don’t even play one on TV.

CLIMATE

Submitted By: tevisdiii@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
TO CLARIFY CLIMATE CHANGE 2/21/23

The definitions surrounding climate change really need to be clarified.

Climate: the average course or condition of the weather at a place usually over a period of years as exhibited by temperature, wind velocity and precipitation.

Change: to make different in particular.

Weather: the state of the atmosphere at any given time and place with respect to variables such as temperature, moisture, wind velocity and barometric pressure:
a temporary, day by day observation.

Pollution: The introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse changes.

The term, Anthropogenic Global Warming- warming caused by human activity- was first publicized in 1975-1-, and by 1988, the UN had established the IPCC, International Panel for Climate Change. Early computer models indicated that if humans continued to use carbon based fuels at the same or increased rates, the planet would experience catastrophic consequences. Rising sea levels due to melting ice and drought, etc., would trigger chaotic migrations of people and other animals resulting in wars, pestilence, and starving masses. Certainly concerns we should take seriously. GLOBAL WARMING became a world wide expression.

It should be understood that as it evolved, the IPCC suffered a scandal which became known as ‘climate gate letters’.-2- It is worth looking into the whole story because in a nutshell, the concerns of many contributing scientists were squelched as it became clear the IPCC was designed and had become a political tool with long range plans that conflicted with real science. There has never been a consensus among climate scientists that the world is even warming, let alone at an alarming rate and all due to human activity. Read it again, that’s what I said; never been a consensus. Never the less, a whole new world industry began for alternative energy, supported with billions for startups and research grants to ‘combat ‘GLOBAL WARMING.

That money would keep flowing as long as the main narrative was followed, even as the name morphed from global warming into simply CLIMATE CHANGE, but whenever the terms are used; it’s implied that the changes are man made. The main narrative has it that burning carbon fuels will overload our atmosphere with C02, a green house gas, resulting in runaway warming. Simple words that most people can grasp when headlines blare “hottest day on record ”, or “longest drought on record ”, “ largest iceberg to ever break off of Antarctica “. The warming fear is still trumpeted at any opportunity but because climate is very complex, persistent massive cold sweeps out of season can not continue to be hidden in the back pages and the world wide flooding is just beyond the pale. It’s still caused by anthropogenic activity, right, and now it is the CLIMATE CRISIS. BUT, we can still turn it around if we just stop stomping around with our big carbon footprints!

Not unlike another major issue that claims all the right science is supporting its decisions but is proving to be horribly lacking in substantial research, the same is true with anthropogenic climate influence. Censorship on a massive scale has been employed to silence or obfuscate research by well respected climate scientists from around the world who present a much different perspective from the MSN dialog, that threatens to run their narrative right off the rails and that’s a big problem if you are pushing a big agenda. Others do a much better job presenting all the facets of this massive censorship and reasons behind it so I’ll include a few complete sources at the bottom for detail, but just to give some facts left out of the “NEWS” stories consider this.

The earth is smaller than a BB compared to a basket ball sized Sun, so whatever the sun says to do, earth says yes sir! In fact, all the planets dance to the suns base drum and all are showing anomalous activity similar to earths. It’s the electro-magnetic connections the IPCC omits from their data which leaves a gaping, skewed hole in their models projections. This is evident by comparing the real data to the computer projections originally used to launch the lie.-3-

In conjunction with the energy the sun is or isn’t firing at us, our dear mother earth is undergoing a magnetic reversal. This is in the open literature. The north magnetic pole is racing across the Bearing Sea into Siberia and the South Pole is heading up towards the Indian Ocean. Meanwhile on the opposite side of the globe, the South Atlantic Anomaly, an area of weak magnetism, is enlarging. Earths overall field strength is weakening exponentially, and this is left out of the ‘consensus’.-4- These factors have an overwhelming effect on climate, turning the jet streams from smooth horizontal bands into convoluted ribbons that swoop north to south and back again which gives us the extremes we are now experiencing, in both hemispheres of course.

The climate scientists trying to be heard do not deny climate change. They know climate constantly changes, usually much slower than the weather which is why their data is gleaned from tree rings, ice cores, stalactites and such. Slow processes, but in those records they also find tumultuous, radical changes. What we are going through has nothing to do with Co2 but that is not to say that digging up the earth for minerals and crude forms of energy is OK! The waste and pollution we have strewn about and poorly stored is now flowing into everyone’s front yards, especially with the increased rain events. But even if we had stopped burning fossil fuels 100 years ago, we would still be dealing with this climate change, just less pollutants.

Weather is what we see when we look out the window; cool and cloudy with increasing east winds, rain by 6:pm.

Climate is the patterns of weather derived from years of observation; data gathered over decades, and graphed to give us an overall picture. The earth takes its own notes and has left crisp data sets that are now readily accessible. By cross referencing the data we can clearly see very regular cycles which have periods that vary from just a few years to many thousands of years. This allows us to print graphs that look like cardiographs with regular ups and downs. It can be on a time scale of millions of years, thousands or decades. Or, we can take a data set from four hundred years ago and parse out a fifty year period and it still looks like a cardiograph. The scale is different but the patterns are clear.

When we cut out sections of the climate data graph, different conclusions can be reached depending on where the cut begins and ends, and it’s very important to remember this. What was before the cut and what came after the cut must be considered because as anybody who has gone cross eyed studying graphs will tell you, you need the before and after for a true perspective.

For example, if we arbitrarily start a graph during a period of cooling and end it at the apex of a warming period it would appear that there is an overall trend to warming. If however we move the starting point back a few cycles to a previous warm peak it would appear that there is no warming trend. Claims need to be verified in context.-5-

So here is my concern, which is way more than a gripe!

I believe our planet is experiencing radical climate change, generated by forces much more complex and grand than our earth itself which are intensifying, resulting in catastrophic weather setting all seven plus billion of us up for horrible circumstances relating to our basic needs; food production, water availability, heat and worse than heat, cold, massive migrations and all the complications that come with that.-6-

I believe altering our carbon footprint, whatever that means besides wreaking havoc by being completely impossible to implement, will not have any effect on the climate.

I believe the only way to mitigate the affects of these changes is to recognize it as the real existential threat to humanity so the wealth of resources we collectively share can be properly directed to that end; equitable distribution of goods and services.

I believe there are means of energy generation which will greatly reduce the need for the wholesale rape of our planet but to give us time to make the transitions to a cleaner healthier world, we need to either stop being mislead by warmongering leaders into believing there is simply not enough for everybody, never will be, so grab and hold what you can at whatever cost; OR, pull back the curtain and see that such ideas are the illusion. We have plenty of everything but the will to see ourselves in each other.-7-

Here’s my latest analogy:

Most of humanity finding ourselves in a diesel powered boat, (our absolute dependence on ‘petroleum’), have so poorly navigated it, (the usual greed and avarice), that we find ourselves in treacherous, jagged, rocky shoals with torturous currents, (major earth changes due to forces not only outside our planet but outside our solar system,[the sun also dances to a grander rhythm], and societal upheaval), and suddenly there is a very aggressive push by a small, vocal and powerful group in the boat, to abandon the diesel motor in favor of oars!, (wind, solar and batteries). If we cut the engines right now, the boat will bust up, right now, and some, the very few who have excellent life preservers, might drift clear of the rocks. Not good enough. I say full throttle ahead past the shoals and find solid ground.

Was the Lockdown Unethical? Was it effective? NO

Submitted By: dixiegainer@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Abstract: Public health responses to the Covid-19 pandemic included various measures to mitigate the spread of the virus. Among these, the most restrictive was a broad category referred to as “lockdowns.” We argue that the reasoning offered in favor of extended lockdowns—those lasting several months or longer—did not adequately account for a host of countervailing considerations, including the impact on mental illness, education, employment, and marginalized communities as well as health, educational, and economic inequities. Furthermore, justifications offered for extended lockdowns set aside a basic tenet of public health ethics: restrictions on liberty and autonomy should be the least intrusive means of achieving the desired end. Since it is now clear that extended lockdowns cause severe harm to many vulnerable populations, the burden of proof is on those who would advocate for them, and there must be a much higher bar to implement an extended lockdown, with high-quality evidence that the benefit would substantially exceed its harm.

Lockdowns – increase in suicides, drug use, drug overdoses,
child and spouse abuse but no positive effects in stopping or slowing cases or hospitalizations from C.

Over 100 colleges to require ‘covid’ mRNA-shots for students

Healthy college kids? They don’t die from ‘covid’! They barely express symptoms!
This is a crime from the CDC, a crime from the DNC, a crime from the absolute liars at Pfizer.
When is the ‘organic’ ‘health-nut’ ‘all-natural’ crowd of so-called liberals going to wake up to this scam from the most corrupt industry in the history of humanity?
If Trump was in office, I bet most of you wouldn’t shoot this very same junk.

And again, masks don’t stop microscopic viruses to any safe degree, we know this now. What masks can do, however, is make you sick, and maybe even give you cancer:

Our southern border needs a fix; too much suffering

Submitted By: andynorris21@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
This administration is a total failure on every level and our very lives are at risk. War, vaccines, more war, more vaccines, mask mandates, more war…when will it end?

Glen Greenwald just tweeted the most important truth about the Democrats war against Russia and the people of Ukraine:

“The group that, by far, most supports US fueling of the war in Ukraine is self-identified ‘liberal Dems’. One major reason is they loathe Russia for 2016 and are willing to destroy Ukraine to harm Moscow.”

The cluster bombs that AOC and Biden sent to Ukraine are now being used by the way. (yes, that’s Rachel Maddow cheering in the background.)

I didn’t think it possible to see an administration more murderous and more anti-American than Bush/Cheney, but here we are.

And look at what Biden and the rest have done to our border. I don’t blame the migrants; I would want out of those sh*thole countries, too.

In the past three years (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) 7-million people from over one-hundred and forty countries (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) have just walked across our border and now live here illegally. (while international travelers need to be vaxxed for entry to the US, illegals don’t have to be vaxxed! That should tell you all you need to know about the ‘vax’ when Biden tries to scare you into ‘boo$ting’ this fall. Just like the illegals, YOU DON’T NEED IT.).

I think it very important to point out that the Hondurans are (still) fleeing a hell cause by Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama after they overthrew the Honduran government and installed death squads, creating a massive humanitarian wave out of Honduras as they flee Hillary’s installed murderous military government. Those death squads immediately killed the most famous environmentalist and ACTUAL FEMINIST, south of our border, Berta Caceras.

An open border is the antithesis of compassion:

Club Manzanita Accepting Applications

Submitted By: rkinor@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
The Monday Mayor’s meetings generate some interesting discussions about City business. The subject of why the City has such high Administrative costs came up and included a comment that citizens were told that the City Manager’s recent pay raise was given in order to be consistent with pay for similar positions in the area.

I first went back and read the Headlight Herald article where Councilor Kozlowski was quoted as saying that the salary increase was “appropriate given other regional comparators”. I then went to the May Council meeting video to listen for myself as to what this was all about. Councilor Kozlowski at the meeting explained that Bay City and Cannon Beach were the only comparison cities mentioned.

There are 18 City Manager positions that Councilor Kozlowski could have reviewed in the Clatsop, Tillamook and Lincoln County area that would serve as appropriate “regional comparators”. No explanation was given why Bay City was such a relevant comparison to Manzanita. She did do a detailed discussion of the total compensation package for the Cannon Beach City Manager including the $12,000 housing allowance that Cannon Beach pays in order that their City Manager can actually live in the City that employs him. A housing allowance is not considered as salary and since Manzanita doesn’t require our City Manager to live in Manzanita, her inclusion of this $12,000 was simply a means to inflate the salary differential and would appear to be a bit disingenuous with her explanation that she wanted to make sure that her comparisons were “apples to apples”. Also omitted was the Cannon Beach City Manager’s 30 years of government experience which would factor into both his starting salary and influence subsequent pay increases to get to his current salary.

When the Mayor asked what the costs were for benefits in addition to the salary increase, neither staff nor Councilor Kozlowski could supply that information. In order to be sure of the facts, I made a public records request of the City to get these new salary and benefit costs for the City Manager. I was first told that the City could not locate any report with this information. When I suggested that the monthly payroll report would have this information, I was advised that the City Attorney would have to review this report and I would be charged $329.37 before I could see it.

I declined to pay for information that Councilor Kozlowski and staff should have been prepared to disclose at the meeting. It appears that the City Manager’s salary is now $140,000 with additional payroll costs and benefits of approximately $58,000 for a total compensation cost of $198,000.

There really was no reason for Councilor Kozlowski’s presentation to be so inaccurate and unprofessionally researched. My 5 minute search of the web uncovered a legitimate regional salary comparison of City Managers that a consultant for Seaside performed last year during the process to replace their retiring City Manager. Some of those findings:

After 37 years as both Seaside City Manager and Finance Director, the final salary was $130,620.

Tillamook was at $87,000, Astoria was at $151,000, Cannon Beach at $149,250 and Warrenton at $125,000. Waldport at $105,000, Florence at $113,110 and Bandon at $118,000. Newport and Lincoln City each pay $125,000 and Hood River pays $145,000. These figures may have increased somewhat since 2022.

As an additional point of reference, when Manzanita City Manager Jerry Taylor retired 5 years ago after 22 years as Manager, his final salary was approximately $80,000.

Should citizens be concerned about recent Administrative cost increases? In the past 3 years, City Hall staff salary and benefit costs alone have increased almost 60%. Total City Hall Administrative costs are up 138%. We are continually reminded that our property taxes are too low and we do not have adequate funding for maintaining infrastructure. Maybe we have more of a spending problem than a lack of adequate revenue.

The City is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars for consultants for almost every topic that comes up. Rather than allow an independent party to do an objective analysis for this important decision, this task is performed by the Councilor who publicly proclaims that she is the City Manager’s number one fan. No other Councilor had any questions at the meeting, apparently satisfied with Councilor Kozlowski’s research methodology, conclusions and recommendations. The Mayor asks relevant questions but must be careful since asking questions may result in further criticism, complaints and inquiries.

Salary and benefits are the single largest expense in the City Budget. Why didn’t Councilor Kozlowski produce a written report breaking down salary and benefit costs that was available for both Council and citizens to examine before the May Council meeting? Should Councilors explain why any City employee with 2 years of relevant position experience is receiving a substantially higher salary than the comparable position with greater experience in larger area cities?

The real issue here may not be whether the City Manager should or should not be getting a pay increase of this amount. The concern is that due to the indifferent and inattentive governance by Councilor Kozlowski and the Councils on which she served on during the past 17 years, we find ourselves in the financial and community livability mess that we are now in. 17 years of running the City like a club rather than a multi million dollar public corporation responsible to the shareholder/ resident voters is at the root of our current problems. The lack of any objective analysis, research, questions and choice of presenter for this particular presentation is vintage Club Manzanita governance.

The Council will soon be interviewing candidates to fill the vacant Council position. We should all hope that this is an opportunity to appoint a citizen who is willing to ask questions and make sure that critical thinking and objective fact based analysis is at the foundation of Council decisions especially those involving the Budget and City finances. My more pessimistic side says that is not likely going to happen and this opportunity will end up being nothing more than an audition to ensure that this vacancy will be filled by a loyal Club member.

The Power of Now, a discussion.

Submitted By: Brickstonebones@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hi, My name is Jared. I live in Nehalem.

Im motivated to start an ‘informal’ group that shares an interest in discussing the book; “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle.

There is a lot to unpack here, and I think it would be fun to get together once a week, or month, and discuss a chapter at a time type of thing.

“When, where, and how” are all up for discussion.

This will not be rigid, it will be small in size, and only requires an open mind and a desire to live more fully in the moment. Readers of all levels welcome.

The purpose is to engage in discussion about living consciously in the present moment.

Please Email Me to help me get this off the ground.

Thanks.
