Decline in Transportation District Service

Submitted By: codger817@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I was very proud to serve as a board member of Tillamook County Transit District (TCTD), until I wasn’t. I was convinced the District had at its heart a deep concern for the people of Tillamook County. Sadly, I think I was wrong.
Now I think the District and Board’s main concern is maintaining a favorable public image, whether it is deserved or not.
In April of 2023, the Sunset Empire Transit District (SETD)(Clatsop county) ran out of money and had to cease operations for more than a month. It has now returned to operations but at a reduced level of services.
In April of 2023, Tillamook County Transportation District (TCTD) operated 7 days a week with 245 scheduled routes and 16,176 monthly Dial-a-Ride patrons. By May 12, 2024, it deteriorated to a 6 days a week for in-county service, with 147 scheduled routes and 7,366 monthly Dial-a-Ride Patrons.
I believe the problem for both districts is a fundamental structural problem of District governance. The board consists of 7 well-intentioned citizens who are elected by the public. The board leaves day-to-day operations to the management. The board hires the General Manager and approves budgets. The General Manager runs the operation and I suppose if things get bad enough the board can fire the General Manager. Otherwise, there is a definite hands-off attitude by the boards.
I believe the basic problem is that the board bases its actions on what Management chooses to tell them. For both SETD and TCTD, this has led to nasty surprises for the board. What is worse, the public loses out on services they are dependent on.
People in Clatsop County lost the services they depended on for a few weeks. People in Tillamook County have lost their Sunday in-county services and each of their numbered routes has been cut back.
In Clatsop County, management withheld the true state of finances until they ran out of money. In Tillamook County, management has never told the board how many drivers and dispatchers are still on the payroll.
The public is the one who gets the shock of the bus that isn’t there anymore.
I believe Clatsop County has corrected its financial reporting. I believe it’s time Tillamook started being honest every month about how many employees it has.

Adventist Health Tillamook Presents Free Father’s Day Community Concert with Ryan Stevenson

Submitted By: hayjj@ah.org – Click to email about this post
Adventist Health Tillamook is excited to announce a special musical event featuring GRAMMY® and Billboard Music Award nominee, Dove and ASCAP Christian Music Award winner, Ryan Stevenson. The free concert will take place on Sunday, June 16, at the Tillamook Seventh-day Adventist Church, located at 2610 1st St., starting at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6 p.m. Eric Swanson, President of Adventist Health Tillamook, shared his enthusiasm for the event, stating, “We are deeply honored to have Ryan in Tillamook and look forward to offering this family-friendly, free event for our community.”

Ryan Stevenson’s music, known for its hopeful and encouraging messages, has achieved six #1 billboard charting radio singles. He has toured with top artists such as TobyMac, MercyMe, and Newsboys. Since 2020, Stevenson has headlined intimate concerts in churches, theaters, and homes, playing over 170 shows to 34,000 fans, while sharing his deeply personal songs and stories. Recently, Ryan released his new single, “Just as You Are,” turning heads with its undeniably infectious groove. Released on Friday, the single finds Stevenson entering a new era of creative freedom.

Produced by Christopher Stevens (TobyMac, Crowder), who also co-wrote the song with Stevenson, “Just as You Are” captures a defining moment in Stevenson’s faith journey. Stevenson shared the inspiration behind the song, quoting one of his favorite authors, Brennan Manning: “God loves you, just as you are, not as you should be; because none of us are as we should be.” Stevenson added, “This is the music I’ve wanted to put out for 12 years, and I finally feel the release to do it! Creating music that not only has an amazing feel but also a deep, meaningful message is a joy.” In addition to his musical achievements, Ryan is an author. His book, “Eye of the Storm: Experiencing God When You Can’t See Him,” details his journey from farm boy to singer-songwriter, sharing life events that have shaped his relationship with God.

Impeach Senator Merkley?

Submitted By: runnawaytrain@gmx.com – Click to email about this post
This is Andy, sorry to post again, I’m just getting really sick of Democrats murdering Ukrainians and rejoicing in how good and moral they are for doing so, while telling the rest of us it’s immoral for Israel to murder Palestinians.

Bomb Ukraine NOT Palestine!

Huh? Wuh? Why? (Unprincipled comes to mind. So does arrogant and hateful. So does stoopid. So does fear.)

I’m thoroughly confused and I would love it if ANY DEMOCRAT IN THESE TWO ZIP CODES CAN DEFEND THIS ON THIS SITE.

CAN ANY OF YOU SUPPOSED ANTI-WAR DEMS, JUST ONE OF YOU, OUT OF THE THOUSANDS ON THE NORTH COAST, HOW YOU SUPPORT MURDERING 500,000 UKRAINIANS AND DESTROYING THEIR ENTIRE COUNTRY WHILE TELLING ISRAEL IT IS IMMORAL FOR THEM TO KILL PALESTINIANS AND DESTROY THEIR COUNTRY?

AGAIN, why is it okay for YOU to support murdering Ukrainians (500-million dead so far! Nice work!) but Israelis cannot support murdering Palestinians?

Just one of you defend this, please. And for ANYONE who sends me hate mail, I will post your hate mail right on this site for everyone to see just how smart and kind you really are.

Maybe Senator Merkley will get wind of this post and he will explain to us on this site how this pro-murder Democrat stance makes sense? He is a Senator after all, therefore he is trustworthy and smarter then the rest of us and we should listen to him, right? (He blatantly lied to my daughter’s face at a meet-and-greet when she was about ten-years old. He’s full of sh@t as far as I’m concerned, I saw his bullsh@t in action.)

Here is my post:

War-Pig Dems pretend to be anti-war:

Headline only:

thehill.com/homenews/house/4710850-netanyahu-speech-boycott-democrats/

And, checking in with fake-Christian, know as the ‘First Lady Of Congress’, because this “Southern Baptist” screws his male interns when he isn’t calling for mass-murder, we see why the sick folks running our country really want to ‘help out’ Lyndsey Graham’s fellow gay-mass-murderer, dictator Vladimir Zelensky:

“Ukraine is sitting on 10-12 TRILLION dollars of critical minerals”. OHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

It all makes sense now…

Lynsie himself is happy to tell you:

x.com/LindseyGrahamSC/status/1799832487285465244

Now it all makes sense, right? NATO and the American war machine want to make billions while destroying Russia and Ukraine because they think they can, and then they think they can MAKE TRILLIONS MORE off Ukraine’s critical minerals afterwards! Well, they got the destroy Ukraine part done, that’s for sure.

MONNEY MONEY MONEY GREED GREED GREED

Isn’t that right, SENATOR JEFF MERKLEY?

From CNN: “Five years ago, the man whose talents as an actor, comedian and producer had made him a household name in Ukraine was propelled into office.”

As Senator Merkley knows very well but won’t tell you, Zelensky was NOT organically ‘propelled into office’, he was INSTALLED by a military coup run by The United States of Amerikkka, quarterbacked by Victoria Nuland of the war-pig Democrat Obama Administration, in 2014.

(Before overthrowing the democratically-elected government of Ukraine for Obama and the military-industrial-complex and big-tech and Blackrock and American billionaires in general, Victoria worked for the Bush Crime Family, coordinating the mass-murder of Middle Eastern folks in Iraq, etc., while doing some ‘conflict-resolution overseas’ work, as the intel/CIA folks like to call it. She’s a mass-murdering scumbag of the worst kind.

For those who intentionally keep themselves sheltered from reality by going on lots of beach walks or whatever, there is nothing truer in the world than what I just wrote above. It is as true as the fact that the sun rose a few hours ago.

Looks like the blood-on-his-hands Democrat war-scum Sen. Jeff Merkely (500-million Ukrainians murder by NATO’s arrogance, greed and stupidity) didn’t find out that Zelensky CANCELLED the ELECTIONS in Ukraine that Jeff was pretending to be concerned about. (Link below)

HEY JEFF, THE ELECTIONS iN UKRAINE NEVER HAPPENED!!!!! GAY DICTATOR ZELENSKY CANCELLED THEM!!!!!

HEY DPO, SENATOR MERKELY’S GOT TO GO! IMPEACH HIM NOW!

UKRAINE IS NOT A DEMOCRACY! YOU CLUELESS AMERICAN MORONS!

Won’t somebody please change the junior senator’s website?? This is embarrassing for Oregon.

In the meantime, there are still old men and girls (sorry, BRAVE FEMINISTS!) that NATO can make billions of dollars by slaughtering them in Ukraine, so war war war! Yup, Democrats will make sure we’ll be there to the very last drop…of Ukrainian blood.

Yeah, Jeff, we know what you know, you anti-American murderous dirt-bag:

BONUS!

If the globalist swine you REALLY work for can destroy America from within…why not go that way, right Jeff? What’s really going on at our border that Democrats REFUSE TO HONOR?

JEFF MERKELY CALLED THE BORDER SITUATION “A crisis” THREE YEARS AGO!!!!!!

www.newsweek.com/senator-jeff-merkley-says-border-situation-approaching-crisis-after-wh-declines-use-label-1575480

These statements are two years old Jeff, what has happened at our border since then? Millions have crossed, that’s what. Terrorists. Gang members. Rapists. Prisoners. Russians. Chinese (lots of military-age Chinese males crossing), and lots of folks infected with COVID!!!! AAHHHHHHHHHHH! OH NO NOT THE COVID!!!!! Actually I have no idea if any ‘migrants’ have crossed with CIA/DOD/GATES/FAUCI lab-engineered SARS-Cov-2 infections because NOBODY IS TESTED CROSSING THE BORDER AND THEY NEVER WERE DURING THE ENTIRE PLANDEMIC. Huh? How un-Democtratic party is that? No mask requirement either…the horror!!!

Sure Jeff, I’ll tell you about what’s happened at the border over the past three years, when you were pretending to care, and I will share it with your idiot constituents who KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE BORDER SITUATION either:

(If you live on the north coast, you might want to watch this before you go on today’s beach walk. It’s pretty damn important. And it could impact your ability to go on beach walks in the future. (note to self: yeah, that’s how I can get to the Wokezanita folks, f@ck with their beach walks!)

Joshua is a must see for anyone who loves the American troubadour songwriter style.

With a sense for both storytelling and poetics Joshua Lowe has been dubbed “his generations Woody Guthrie, a great teller of tales,” by the infamous, Cookie Marenco, of Blue Coast Records.

Lowe’s sound is steeped in American music as he has a deep appreciation for roots traditions. Growing up listening to Hank Williams, Robert Johnson, Flatt and Scruggs, Woody Guthrie, early jazz, ragtime, field hollers and gospel.

Lowe keeps with the American roots tradition and takes the lo-fi, less-is-more approach to playing. “There’s beauty in simplicity. I like the rawness of just acoustic guitar and voice. I consider that a sacred part of music.”
