Fourth of July, Ratcheds By The Sea

Posted on July 5, 2022 by webadmin

What a great Fourth of July weekend at Ratcheds By The Sea. The weather was perfect. Thirty degrees cooler than inland, and a gentle breeze wafted in from the ocean.

The festivities were nonstop starting Friday morning. By the time Monday closed it’s eyes, residents and visitors alike were thoroughly exhausted and ready for a much needed nap. Have to get ready for tonight’s music extravaganza. Continue reading →

The Community Garden Group (CGG) News

Posted on June 24, 2022 by Sharon Elliott

Rick De Young told me that there has been an interest among members to have
a garden in the park for many years. Recently that dream has been renewed by a bunch
of those who have had working family gardens growing up and know the benefits. That
bunch has organized themselves and begun planning. To explicitly state what their
objective is, they created their MISSION statement which reads as follows: “To create
an organic community garden at Timber Valley for individuals of all abilities. The garden shall be a welcoming, inclusive space where the focus is on sustainable organic food, education and strengthening bonds of the Park community.”

At the May meeting the board voted overwhelmingly (7 to 1) to allow the
Community Garden Group (CGG) to create a garden!! The CGG is now requesting the
board to approve a specific site so that they will be able to finish detailing plans. This includes garden design, costs, building plan oversight of maintenance and how the project will look upon completion. Meanwhile the CGG will continue fundraising (to prevent the park from paying for any equipment) as they are already halfway to their initial goal.

This large single purpose group of park members have the ability and willingness
to add an amenity to the park that will serve current and future members allowing them to participate in wholesome healthy exercise together

Fawns at Timber Valley

Posted on June 22, 2022 by webadmin

If you see a fawn (baby deer) laying under a tree, out in the open or even under your RV … PLEASE … do not try to move it or call the ODFW. The doe (mamma deer) is close by and has placed it there for their well-being. It’s easier for the fawn to stay in one area rather than trying to follow the doe around. Calling the ODFW is not necessary. This is nature’s way and the wildlife here are part of the natural surroundings of Timber Valley.

Water…Water…Water!

Posted on June 22, 2022 by webadmin

Timber Valley has been informed of a 5% water rate increase! Using our
average annual water use, this represents about $2500 additional per year that
we will have to spend on our water bill that could be used for something else.
What can we do?

We can all do our best to conserve water. Outside watering is
the largest single use of water, so the biggest savings could come here.
Use timers on all irrigation systems, and constantly check that they function
correctly. Be very thoughtful in using hoses outside. If water is running in our
ditches when it normally does not, check it out, over watering could be happening
somewhere. Our annual dues will thank us!

The Magic Lamp

Posted on June 16, 2022 by webadmin

I just read a scientific survey. It was published by Fox News. So you know it’s accurate and unbiased. The scientists concluded that 99.6% of the English-speaking population of The United States of America do not understand the concept of exaggeration. Or subtlety. Or satire. Or sarcasm. I am, indeed, fortunate to be addressing the remaining 2.5 %. Continue reading →

OLD MC DONALD HAD A FARM, TIMBER VALLEY NEEDS A GARDEN

Posted on June 5, 2022 by Jackie Deal

How long have we talked “Community Garden”? Old Timers will tell you, “Forever”. And nothing has been done. But now we have an energized, organized group that is actually doing something! They got Board approval as a Committee, which was later rescinded. And now it seems they‘re getting a little bit less than cooperation. Continue reading →
