The “cabinet”
Our journalists and their companies provide people with the good, bad and ugly so that an informed citizenry can make healthy choices at the polls. Kari Lake joins a long list of those who would quash dissent and jail journalists and spread false conspiracies. Arizona declined to give her their support, twice! Secret on-line actors, using AI are already distorting the news and conspiracy theorists like trump and his minions will only make it worse. Call your representatives and demand better choices. Trump and the far right DO NOT hold all the cards. Be kind, but fight back against this tyranny. Our freedom depends upon it.

Tarot Reading at Wild on Saturday
Although Lane has been reading cards since 1995, the paintings in Lane’s Greenwitch Tarot were not done with a deck in mind. Rather they were created over the past 30 years of her own process and journey. She gives readings in her booth all summer at the Manzanita Farmer’s Market as well as longer in depth readings at her home.
Lane has lived in the community almost 50 years and helped start a number of local institutions including Fire Mountain School, CARTM Recycling, Lower Nehalem Community Trust, NeahCasa and Fulcrum Community Resources. More information about her, the deck and her paintings can be found on her website lanedemoll.com.

Gifts for Children Needed
Please consider providing Christmas presents for children of families impacted by domestic violence and sexual assault. Tides of Change (formerly the Tillamook County Women’s Resource Center) offers a loving and meaningful ‘holiday shopping’ experience, providing parents who have received services from Tides of Change the opportunity to “shop” (for free) and choose donated gifts for their children.
This year Tides of Change has received far more requests from families than ever before, forty more kids than last year are in need, and we urgently need for additional gifts in order not to have to turn parents away.
Giving is easy, go to: www.tidesofchangenw.org/holiday-giving
You can shop the Tides of Change gift registry on Amazon, choose gifts that are suggested, and Amazon will deliver them to Tides of Change. That’s what I did, it took five minutes. You can also drop off unwrapped gifts for children of all ages, donate gift cards (very popular with teens) or donate money for staff to buy gifts. Gifts will be received through December 20.
It is my hope that every child in Tillamook County will receive a gift this Christmas. Having grown up in a very poor family, my brother and sister and I received gifts from charity organizations for several years when we were small. I can tell you honestly that those gifts, which may have been small things to the givers, were huge for us. I vividly remember a shiny white patent leather purse that I received one Christmas when I was about seven years old. We were fortunate to get shoes that fit; there was no money for things we did not need, like a little girl’s purse, and I would not have dreamed of asking for one. Fifty-two years later I remember that pretty white purse, and how it filled me with wonder and happiness. It made my Christmas memorable and special, and it informed the person I would become, someone who cares about those less fortunate among us, particularly children.
If you imagine that your gift of a Nerf ball or a gift card or a child’s purse won’t really make a difference, you are mistaken. One small thing freely given has the power to change a child’s life. Thank you for giving as you can.
Happy holidays to you and your loved ones,
Mary Faith Bell

Is It a Bird, Is It a Plane…….
By Taxpayers Association of Oregon
OregonWatchdog.com
The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) says it has a massive budget hole of $1 billion to $1.7 billion due to a host of factors (lawsuits, declining gas tax revenue, inflation, cost over-runs, exploding labor costs, rising county needs, government pension, etc.)
ODOT actually mapped out a possible 75-cent gas tax increase plan.
Most likely ODOT will try to balance the cost with other taxes such as various DMV fees, title fees, registration fees. Under this more likely plan, ODOT has projected out a 35-cent gas tax
.
A 35-cent gas tax is outrageous and will spike the cost of every item on the grocery and retail shelf.
A 35-cent gas tax will be on top of Oregon existing gas tax — rated in the top 10 most expensive state gas taxes in the nation.
A 35-cent gas tax will be on Oregons already high gas prices. Data Pandas ranks Oregon as the fourth highest gas price state in 2024.
AND….
A surge of last minute votes* for Democrat challenger and labor organizer Lesly Muñoz has worked to defeat incumbent State Representative Tracy Cramer. This secures the Democratic Party candidates at 60% vote control in both the Oregon State House and Oregon State Senate. At the much watched 60% vote margin it is a super-majority where it is not only a comfortable lead it is also the legal threshold to pass tax increases.
* A surge of last minute votes from a dirty voter registration list sounds suspicious to me but what the heck!
