BBQ Administrators
In 2023, the Council led by Mayor Simmons voted on changing the billing cycle, water rates and units tied to the base rate. There was plenty of notice given to water users through communications through the water bill notices, city website, public meetings, etc. Ordinance 90-8 was amended to reflect the billing cycle change to monthly. The City did amend the Ordinance once the mistake was discovered.
From Yachats to Astoria, not one city bills quarterly. Why move backward?
PLEASE NOTE: NO EMAILS.

(MANZANITA, OREGON)—What happens when women tell the truth? Find out at a special event at Hoffman Center, Wednesday, September 18, 4 p.m. featuring Dena Taylor and her latest book, “When A Woman Tells The Truth,” an anthology of creative works and writings about life by women in their 80s.
Along with Taylor, seven local women—all over 80—will read their favorite pieces from this anthology. Readers will include Liz Cole, Claudia Johnson, Julianne Johnson, Linda Kozlowski, Ann Morgan, Leila Salmon and Suzanne Wallis. Glenna Cook, a poet, will be here from Puyallup to read her selection from the book.
A regular visitor to Manzanita for over 60+ years and a resident of Santa Cruz, California for over five decades Taylor has filled her post-retirement years with activism, writing, extensive international travel, obtaining her pilot’s license, and saying yes to unusual opportunities of all kinds from her circle of life-long friends.
“I turned 80 in March of 2021 and was talking to a friend who had also recently turned 80. We discussed what that milestone meant to us, and we wondered what other women were going through. We decided to find out and this book project was born,” said Taylor.
“I am eager to share this book and conversation with the Nehalem Bay area community and look forward to hearing the amazing women—all in their 80s—who have stepped up to read at this event. This will be a fantastic opportunity for women and men to hear what older women have to say!”
The book is filled with funny, heart-breaking, tender, sly, angry and loving stories, poems, essays and memoirs by poets, professors, Zen Buddhists, theater directors, French teachers, jewelry artists, union organizers, midwives, hospice workers—all women in their 80s. The honesty, wisdom and humor contained in the book’s pages portray rich lives whose roots are still growing into the future.
The book will be available for sale at the event and the author will be signing. Secure your spot in advance at hoffmanarts.org/events/author-event-dena-taylor/?Admission is $7 at the door, if space is available. Hoffman Center for the Arts, 594 Laneda Avenue, Manzanita.
“When A Woman Tells The Truth” is Taylor’s ninth published book. Her other titles include, “Exclamation Points: Collected Poems,” she co-authored with her daughter Becky Taylor “Tell Me The Number Before Infinity: The story of a girl with a quirky mind, an eccentric family, and oh yes, a disability,” and several books on women’s issues. Dena Taylor completed her graduate studies at Rutgers School of Social Work and is retired from careers in social work and education.

Anywhere they would travel the people would know where they came from by the unique colors of the textiles they wore and the patterns weaved into their baskets and blankets.
Before dyes were made from industrial chemicals they were found in local forests and meadows.
Colors were sourced from hundreds of native plants like salal, black walnut, oregon grape root and in the fall of the pacific northwest.. mushrooms!
Today there’s a movement of folks learning about and reclaiming the colors of their valleys and forest.
Imagine Oregon football teams proudly wearing school colors of golden Dyer’s Polypore mushrooms and Black Walnut hulls?
If you’re someone who loves art, nature, cauldron steam and fall mushrooms- this one is for you!

1. Grief is a part of life. There’s no escaping it. It’s a part of being human and living in a world of constant loss and change.
2. We all deal with grief personally but very few of us know how to to honor it, hold it, share with others or be true friends in need.
3. Our culture values being independent and portrays emotions as weakness (especially for men). Grief feels like a burden we place on others and something we need to get over quickly and keep to ourselves.
4. So when grief comes- in a death, divorce, illness, rejection, lost dreams, war, politics, clear cuts etc. where do we go? It’s more acceptable to turn to food, drinking, overworking, scrolling on our phones and taking pills for depression than it is to simply grieve and call it sacred.
These are just a few reasons that having a place to come and grieve with others is so vitally important.
Grief is not meant to be shameful. It’s a beautiful expression of love for life and the world.
We can learn to be grief tenders for ourselves and the community we live in.

1. Meter readings and billings are two totally separate issues.
2. Only 2 cities in the 2023 League of Oregon Cities Water Rates Survey cited by the author have any similarities to Manzanita with both of those Cities of Gearhart and Seaside billing water customers every 2 months. STRs in both constitute a much smaller percentage of the residential housing stock than in Manzanita.
3. Radio read meters installed in Philomath and are presently being installed in Manzanita are absolutely more efficient than manual reading. Again, this has nothing to do with billing efficiencies and costs for Manzanita.
4. Detecting residential leaks through monthly meter reading does happen but it is random and infrequent. In Philomath, it amounted to about .3% of all homes each month and consisted primarily of running toilets and leaking faucets.
5. The City Manager and City Council failed to correctly implement new water rates in July of 2023 through passage of the necessary implementing Ordinance. The City still has not taken steps to acknowledge that it violated its own Ordinance by collecting water charges that it was not entitled to for 7 months and owes customers who paid tier charges and late fees credits for those unauthorized billings.
6. It was not until the required implementing Ordinance was passed by the Council that citizens could file the Referendum to have a vote.
Solution:
1. Citizens vote in November to return to quarterly meter reads and billing.
2. The Council then presents an Ordinance to citizens with an amendment that allows the City to READ water meters monthly. I totally support the City reading water meters monthly if the City can provide citizens the total costs including additional staff time to see if it makes financial sense in light of the benefits that it provides.
As Manzanita City Manager, the City provided residents with 6,000 gallons of water each month in the base at an affordable rate for families and seniors of modest means while completing some of the most significant improvements to the water system in City history. In recognition of these accomplishments, the City won the 1992 League of Oregon Cities First Place Award for Excellence for its Small City Water Conservation Program. The City’s lack of a creative and comprehensive strategy regarding the operation of our water system has resulted in the present situation of residents receiving less water, higher monthly bills and the message of how dare we seek to have a vote on the matter.
The City and its supporters want to distract citizens with personal attacks and innuendo in order to avoid a community conversation as to why residents should continue to subsidize water usage by visitors. The dramatic increase of TLT revenue during the past several years provides the City with the funding means to both restore our monthly water allotment to 4,000 gallons and keep rates affordable for all residents.
Why do you think the City is so resistant to using even 10% of this increased TLT revenue to the benefit of residents in this important matter?
If you are a Manzanita water customer either living inside or outside of the City and want to keep up with the issues affecting your water service, please send me your email at rkinor@gmail.com to directly receive these updates. Your email will not be shared with anyone.
