I am fatigued of this sexual orientation preoccupation. Taking it down to the bone; who cares ? Political representative, publisher, philanthropist, business mogul or Jane & John Q Public; sexual orientation is a personal life journey, having nothing at all to do with one's position, platform, courage, integrity or honesty. Heterosexual, Caucasian and male lives also matter. Yet there seems to be no band width for any of them in today's media.. When taking a long flight do you want the best available pilot or do you want the best available MWBE / LGBTQ+ pilot with a bit of obesity on the side ? This minority-ism bullshit must cease. Cox is a great example of the "me" entitlement of minority-ism; " I'm queer and if you don't like, like me and media "like" me for that", you are a homophobe, a sexist and probably a racist". Gender and sexual orientation aside, can I just not like her ?
Power is derived from identity politics. Groups that under normal circumstances detest each other unite if power is gained over an attack upon the one tribe that always surrenders because of gilt.
Jeff Tozzer your journalism is refreshing and insightful. I appreciate your courage, persistence and bringing issues that are behind the scenes or hidden under several of layers of a mask. This definitely helps us not only be better informed, but allows us to see the hypocrisy in so many of our “leaders” in this community.
It doesn't matter to me if she is so queer it only matters to me if she is so wrong, Leadership is an important position. You don't just get to lead because its your designated lifestyle's turn.
I am fed up with identity politics! WTF does her queerdom have to do with her CCD leadership??? That said, I oppose mandatory taxes, whether the intent is beneficial or not. If an idea, project, organization, effort, cause is good, it should speak for itself. It should make you want to willingly donate $25 rather than FORCE you to pay $5. That is how freedom works.
All ccd does is offer advice for farmers which is how often,i think the staff just waits for quitting time mostly.CCD just another support group for leftist that cost taxpayers $$$.Remember how perverted libtards started out under lying biden,first they started with CRT critical race theory which should be about slavery from what i remember but they twisted it to woke then LGTBQ then DEI which was to promote the perverts to top employment positions to try and get others to support and respect them.This did not fly well with the majority and had a big impact for trumps re election.Some of the DEI elected like cox are very proud of their genders and want to be praised and accepted by all and getting re elected gives her great satisfaction.It did not take very many votes for her re election because of the low volume of voters that applied for voting.
We already knew that CCD’s financials were two-faced, but wow. Thanks for this article, Jeff.
Ms. Cox has always been pleasant in person and had some kind comments for my little girl. Hopefully this was a lapse in judgement and she will be quick to apologize publicly.
As a side note, I think many in Clallam county have faced much greater levels of discrimination and hate from neighbors and “friends” merely for voting against Kamala.
Maybe it was just that time of month... but outrageous destructive wishes against others are not a good sign of character...lots of derangement in some groups.😱
A women in complete denial of the Jimmycomelately science and who would probably shoot me from a college rooftop if she could because I keep hammering away on it.
The cover of this one illustrates the difference. The darker blue line is what they built the light blue line is where it was . See how strait the light blue line is. Then look at the dark blue line. The Dungeness and all other rivers around properties should look like the dark blue line.
The first page on the cover shows you who's science it is. Its Jamestown and Clallam County Conservation Districts own science...they are veering from on all the other rivers...Dungeness especially.
Cox has now cemented at least one less person participating in her farm CSA. I've not heard of the Christmas Market before, I will now be certain to attend!
Why on earth does the LGBTQ++/×÷? crowd insist on making every single thing about their sexuality. WE DON'T CARE WHO YOU SLEEP WITH! Just try and be a good, honest, kind, fair, contributing person. All will be just fine.
We were never sure if Dixy Lee Ray, former governor of WA, was gay. She kept her life private. She never married. People suspected it, but no one made an issue. Not even her. Maybe we should just keep it that way. "Keep it to yourself".
Cox at the helm of the CCD. Cox says the darndest thing.
“We will not be participating in your event and will make sure that this censorship and blatant homophobia is known far and wide. I hope your event is a failure.”
Who remembers Art Linkletter "Kids say the darndest things?"
Linkletter: “What does it mean to be responsible?”
Child: “It’s when you spill something and clean it up before anyone sees it.”
Linkletter: “How do you know someone is your best friend?”
Child: “They give you half their cookie, even the good half with more chocolate chips.”
Its like one of those kids on the play ground who want to play quarterback in the sand lot game. "Lemme quarter" "its my turn." Then when you hike the ball to them and they see people running at them so they start to panic and lock up and then they can't run away from them fast enough or concentrate to see who is open. Its not a position for everybody. You don't just get your turn to play QB because its your turn..You have to be good at playing quarterback. Leadership has the same conditions. Not everybody can lead. You don't get leaders in the log rolling gig. You get log rollers.
Yeah, that was a childish response, "I hope your event is a failure." Wow... If you are a community "leader", wouldn't you want to show more integrity? In line with that, it would have been better for her to comply with the venue's preferences. She could simply have published it "family owned and operated", or something like that. Take the sexual orientation completely out of it. They are still a family.
Anyone can fall victim to an instant, emotional response. It takes time and wisdom to be able to step back and form an intelligent response that is worthy of getting your point across without demoralizing your opinion. Such phrases as Ms. Cox used clearly indicates the ongoing " keyboard warrior" falsehood that is being exploited today in all social media standards.
You have to be able to type things in a manner in which you would still have the integrity to say to that person's face. And if you say something emotional ( as she did) you would also need the same integrity to apologize for your behavior.
It is very sad that people today feel so inclines to spout out things through a keyboard that they otherwise would not have the gumption to say in person.
I agree, we DO all do that... in person, or on camera, or verbally... but to put thought into WRITING something like this?
I don't know. I'd never do that. Before I write something, especially in a professional capacity (not necessarily in comments like these on a forum), I will make sure that my words are well received by the recipient. You have to be careful, show dignity, professionalism, and just be thoughtful. No matter how mad you are.
Wouldn't you agree?
Yes, she should apologize, I agree with that. What else can she do?
a friend's brother was on Art Linkletter... and when asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, he used the biggest word he could think of: pedestrian.
Come to think of it, the guy did a lot of hiking as an adult.
I once was constantly harassed and belittled by an “identity lesbian” in a university setting. I finally had it and posted “Tolerance is a two way street - otherwise it’s a head-on collision!” . We were both Resident Directors and she had to move into my building. After making one of her belittling, snide remarks, I posted that on the lobby dry erase board. We were supposed to be “community” after all. Interestingly harassment stopped.
Billy, that's the definition of a Narcissist. She fits that bill.
Narcissism is a self-centered personality style characterized as having an excessive preoccupation with oneself and one's own needs, often at the expense of others.
Thought that was obvious, isn't it her middle name, or their last name... The new overlords of Clallam County. I'm about ready to get the f out of this county. It's too small for such a clique of narcissists to rule over us peasants.
Billy, I would hate to see you leave, maybe, the saying, "If you don't like the weather, just wait 5 minutes - it'll change!" will happen this year. Too many people here (and around the country) are completely fed up. I'm waiting to see if Clallam County will regain it's Bellwether status.
I wonder whether Cox has to comply with the Clallam County policy on Conduct and Work rules? Can she contain herself when interacting with CCD employees, citizens, or prospective employees?
MK, thank you for the link. Comply? Not sure, but she certainly is a poor representative under the Administrative Manual.
.5 OFF-DUTY CONDUCT
Even while officially "off work", employees are subject to the policies of the County and their department. Employees will not exercise their official authority in disputes to which they are a party.
Making malicious, false, or derogatory statements that are intended or could reasonably
be expected to damage the integrity or reputation of the County or our employees, on
or off premises
It is declared that high moral and ethical standards among public officials and employees of
Clallam Country is essential to the conduct of free government;
Thanks MK, Looks like Cox missed this section. Or ignored it. Should the DIRECTOR be enforcing these rules?
19.4 Conflicts with Off-Duty Employment
The County Official will notify the employee at any time outside employment or ACTIVITY is found to be in conflict with the interests of the County or is likely to bring discredit upon the County. In such event employee will be asked to choose between County employment and such conflicting activity, whether it be another job or otherwise.
Clallam County Administrative Manual
Issue Date: 2 November 2004 Conduct and Work Rules
Prior to taking action under this section, the County Official shall consult with the
Director. This section shall not be applied to restrict an employee from the exercise of a constitutionally protected right that the County may not lawfully inhibit.
Very good follow-up to all previous CCD articles. Thank you, again, Jeff. It's necessary to know who is in charge of all these entities. Cox took her talent and creativity and dumped them in the trash, and then replaced them with identity and retribution. What a waste of something that brought beauty and happiness. Now all we'll see in her and her business is bitterness and sadness. People are still gathering signatures for the CCD petition. It will be a satisfying meeting Tuesday, because no matter how the Commissioners vote, we, the overtaxed citizens of Clallam County, will have our voices heard. Thank you, CC!
Well done Jeff! Equality REQUIRES that we let go of lables. That we promote our CHARACTER above all other things. When in business, we are welcoming to ALL and thus, take pains to NOT categorized our particular preferences sexually, politically, nor religiously. Do people do it? Sure, in their OWN business. When I had my local business, I would not have considered mentioning "Male owned" or "Husband and Wife owned' why? Because to me, that reads as a passive-aggressive message that wouldn't accept YOU Jeff. That I see you as not worthy. Not only do I feel it would say that, but worse, I would be worried that you would THINK that. Thus, I would not want my customer thinking I DON'T value him through a perception from a sign. I would have thought she would have seen the value of building relationships in business vs an over the top categorical rejection of a whole community.
I'm currently experiencing the bullying factor on ND for my commentary towards my stance on the CCD parcel fee.
I really try to put myself into others perspectives and be thoughtful with my words, but there is an overwhelming presence of derogatory, conflicting affiliations with any words I speak.
People don't want to hear logic. They want their opinions validated.
I end up getting private messages instead applauding my stance, but people themselves do not want to fall victim to the bully brigade so my commentary appears weak.
I now understand why Mr. Tozzer is so desensitized to the plethora of emotional remarks.
NextDoor is the devils newspaper. As soon as you comment on anything but flowers or sunsets, they rear their ugly heads and attempt to drag you down. Next you will be timed- out. I would not engage with that horrible group of haters if it was the last site on the internet. Save yourself from self-doubt and the pain they inflect. There is no way to sanity when the inmates run the asylum!
It's too bad really. I'm a millenial. I deactivated Facebook a while ago because I found the conversations to be unstimulating and pathetic. I went to ND in hopes of finding an older, wiser and more stimulating crowd locally.
It's disappointing that the crowd I instead find is ultimately worse than high school. 😕
You need to find a topic you are passionate about. It can be anything. Mine is paleontology.
Trust me, if you can think of it there’s a group for you. Don’t waste time scrolling. I go right to fossil ID and people are engaged. Sometimes they are wrong. But it’s a start.
self indulgent whiny hypocrites in my opinion. The hate, name calling and gang mentality along with the squelching of Free speech are just a few reasons for my conclusion.
They quit giving me time outs and just went into auto invisible mode. My posts just disappeared. Just like every good person should do, disappear from Nextdoor. They use you to make money from advertisers. Not illegal just slug slime.
Good description. They actually hurt people’s feelings and cause them to withdraw from website communications. I read an article about social media and the downside. You’d have to give a damn to let Nextdoor hurt your feelings. Moderators have none, so sympathy is totally lost on that group!
I found myself growing increasingly nauseated by Facebook. Especially in my peer group.
I witness parents who don't put down the phone and incessant scrolling while their child is in front of them kicking and screaming.
However I do crave conversation. So I reluctantly started easing into ND. But it is so much worse. Especially the clan who sit atop a high horse and degrade everyone who doesn't think the same way they do.
Grown adults cannot be trusted to engage in civil conversation without wishing ill upon their neighbor.
At least I get to learn new things in this comment thread.
Otherwise I carry out my conversations with my animals. At least I can imagine my own back and fourth dialog with them.
I am fatigued of this sexual orientation preoccupation. Taking it down to the bone; who cares ?

Well said!
Perfect Garry!
But careful, it's the SCIENCE and she must be a scientist, narcissist, dumassist...
'Follow The Science'!
Sounds sheeple-ish!
USE SCIENCE for its intended purpose....there IS NO 'THE SCIENCE'...only Science!
'The Science' is a propaganda device to turn truth to lies!😎
Agree. Identity-ism appeals to no one but the identifiers.
"Who cares?"
Yeah. That's about it.
Power is derived from identity politics. Groups that under normal circumstances detest each other unite if power is gained over an attack upon the one tribe that always surrenders because of gilt.
Guilt I meant to say. Where is my editor?
gilt was a good word too..... a thin layer of gold leaf paint, to make something look like it's real gold.
also "superficial brilliance" and slang for money.
Her club hates you why should you like her?

Isn’t the bigger question, why do we need the CCD at all???
They could go away and few would know the difference.
Exactly she would know because it's her platform to show herself
All ccd does is offer advice for farmers which is how often,i think the staff just waits for quitting time mostly.CCD just another support group for leftist that cost taxpayers $$$.Remember how perverted libtards started out under lying biden,first they started with CRT critical race theory which should be about slavery from what i remember but they twisted it to woke then LGTBQ then DEI which was to promote the perverts to top employment positions to try and get others to support and respect them.This did not fly well with the majority and had a big impact for trumps re election.Some of the DEI elected like cox are very proud of their genders and want to be praised and accepted by all and getting re elected gives her great satisfaction.It did not take very many votes for her re election because of the low volume of voters that applied for voting.

yeah, even men get PMS.
I get brain-cramps from all the propaganda...does that count?😊
A women in complete denial of the Jimmycomelately science and who would probably shoot me from a college rooftop if she could because I keep hammering away on it.
Cox “...every year we harvest and dry flowers to craft gorgeous holiday wreaths.”
John, this year will be a special wreath: John Worthington Commemorative Effigy Wreath. HANG HIM FROM YOUR DOOR
That’s a hell of a lot better than the world according to Garp version..
Its no wonder I have such a hard time falling to sleep. My imagination is such..
John, that's because you don't count sheep, you want to know why sheep count ; )
Good one.l
hey John.
I am not familiar with the “Jimmycomelately” process you speak of.
can you provide a good link to educate me?
thanks, teresa m 😀

Thank you John.
We are sifting through this now.
I cant pretend to take all this in.. will sharpen up. 👍🏼🤔
The first page on the cover shows you who's science it is. Its Jamestown and Clallam County Conservation Districts own science...they are veering from on all the other rivers...Dungeness especially.
You sure are an emphatical radical John...keep your head down and keep 'sciencing' them while they try to 'silence' us!😀
Cox has now cemented at least one less person participating in her farm CSA. I've not heard of the Christmas Market before, I will now be certain to attend!

Teresa 2 Exactly!!! "WE DON'T CARE WHO YOU SLEEP WITH!"
if they're doing it right, they aren't sleeping a wink ;-)
Getting any sleep these days is a miracle!😊
Radicalized at college/university...not everyone is radicalized...only certain personality types and they come with a vengeance!
And we PAY them to destroy our society...evil is as evil does.🥸

Marolee Smith is a leader not a log roller...
Thank you John. I'd probably throw out my back rolling a log....
I'm sure if you needed to roll a log you would logically ask a neighbor to borrow a peavey. You wouldn't force tax payers into funding one for you 😉
absolutely.... ;-) Although would the proper tool be a peavey or a cant hook?
If they 'can't peavey' they can try for a 'hook'!~🪝😆
Depends on how big the log you are rolling is. 🙂🤣
Yeah, that was a childish response, "I hope your event is a failure." Wow... If you are a community "leader", wouldn't you want to show more integrity? In line with that, it would have been better for her to comply with the venue's preferences. She could simply have published it "family owned and operated", or something like that. Take the sexual orientation completely out of it. They are still a family.
yeah, but we all have bad moments, and lash out without thinking. If she had on her big girl pants she'd apologize for such a rude comment.
I wouldn’t know about lashing out. 😇
40 lashes... for not knowing about lashing out!😂
ooh... that could be a good night if she only had enough of a kink with her wife.
Why don't we have tampons in the Mens' Rooms yet?...we're way 'in the behind' on this topic!🤣
🤣 Right next to ya on that!
That is like saying I don't know anything about Jethro spoons or Jethro bowls..
Anyone can fall victim to an instant, emotional response.

Radicals gotta Rad!🤓
I agree, we DO all do that... in person, or on camera, or verbally... but to put thought into WRITING something like this?
I don't know. I'd never do that. Before I write something, especially in a professional capacity (not necessarily in comments like these on a forum), I will make sure that my words are well received by the recipient. You have to be careful, show dignity, professionalism, and just be thoughtful. No matter how mad you are.
Wouldn't you agree?
Yes, she should apologize, I agree with that. What else can she do?
I type fast, and don't always put it aside, and go back and edit. I try to. But, alas, I am human.
Plus (to me) she is young. And, sounds insecure. Someday she will grow up, we all hope.
Maybe when the enviro-monster she's helping create comes after her farmette for some real or imagined insult to the environment!😎
Theoretically we write or type out our outrageous feelings and after a bit of reflection we choose our response/reaction more wisely.
But, hey, this is an 'anything goes', 'free speech' society...morals be damned!🧐
They would have to re-do their 'sign'😢
Funny how she was ok with it and then went off the deep end...methinks there was a little 'in-house' radicalizing going on there!😎
She's scary... Anything in her path that causes her anger, and she erupts...
a friend's brother was on Art Linkletter... and when asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, he used the biggest word he could think of: pedestrian.
Come to think of it, the guy did a lot of hiking as an adult.
I once was constantly harassed and belittled by an “identity lesbian” in a university setting. I finally had it and posted “Tolerance is a two way street - otherwise it’s a head-on collision!” .

Cox is perpetuating the behavior she seeks to abolish by giving into her own insecurities.
Zingo-Bingo!... but all we can do is call it out and hope for the best, eh?
Well put.
Trouble does love company!😊
The one problem with tolerance is that it can lead to loss of moral character over time.
As a liberal culture we just went along to get along and now we are all along for a weird ride. Values, morals, ethics DO matter!
People who make their personal business their 'front and center' are hazardous to the whole community.🤓
MUST be the center of attention. It's all about ME or it's wrong. It's what I think or it's WRONG. Ecccchhhhh
Billy, that's the definition of a Narcissist. She fits that bill.
Narcissism is a self-centered personality style characterized as having an excessive preoccupation with oneself and one's own needs, often at the expense of others.
And narcissists will read all these comments about them. I know from experience :)
We're all narc' at least a bit but it helps to recognize it in us or others and be conscious of it.
It can also be self-absorption as self-hatred as well as self-aggrandizement.
What a world!😇
Thought that was obvious, isn't it her middle name, or their last name... The new overlords of Clallam County. I'm about ready to get the f out of this county. It's too small for such a clique of narcissists to rule over us peasants.
Billy, I would hate to see you leave, maybe, the saying, "If you don't like the weather, just wait 5 minutes - it'll change!" will happen this year. Too many people here (and around the country) are completely fed up. I'm waiting to see if Clallam County will regain it's Bellwether status.
I agree with Jennifer 👋🏼
Pendulums swing.
Dang pendulums anyways!🤓
So true Billy! Maybe when they get the mark of the beast on their foreheads we can avoid them better!😎
I wonder whether Cox has to comply with the Clallam County policy on Conduct and Work rules? Can she contain herself when interacting with CCD employees, citizens, or prospective employees?

Good question. "Clallam" Conservation District is a branch of a State agency, so I bet not.
MK, thank you for the link. Comply? Not sure, but she certainly is a poor representative under the Administrative Manual.
.5 OFF-DUTY CONDUCT

NOT, Just joking. Never happen.

Will you ever out-dooo this CCWD SONG!!! LOVE IT!!! Get's the heart pumping. :-)
Let's see what's next.....
100%
If anyone can, Jeff can!

I now understand why Mr. Tozzer is so desensitized to the plethora of emotional remarks.
How sad we all are as a community on ND
NextDoor is the devils newspaper. As soon as you comment on anything but flowers or sunsets, they rear their ugly heads and attempt to drag you down. Next you will be timed- out. I would not engage with that horrible group of haters if it was the last site on the internet. Save yourself from self-doubt and the pain they inflect. There is no way to sanity when the inmates run the asylum!
Strategic withdrawal is sometimes the best option...let sleeping tyrants 'lie'!😀
It's too bad really. I'm a millenial. I deactivated Facebook a while ago because I found the conversations to be unstimulating and pathetic. I went to ND in hopes of finding an older, wiser and more stimulating crowd locally.
It's disappointing that the crowd I instead find is ultimately worse than high school. 😕
Now I know
You need to find a topic you are passionate about. It can be anything. Mine is paleontology.
Trust me, if you can think of it there’s a group for you. Don’t waste time scrolling. I go right to fossil ID and people are engaged. Sometimes they are wrong. But it’s a start.
It's definitely good to cultivate something enjoyable and interesting to balance the insanity of the human world.
Once you know...you know...that's progress!😎
Next Door is an evil viper pit of
self indulgent whiny hypocrites in my opinion. The hate, name calling and gang mentality along with the squelching of Free speech are just a few reasons for my conclusion.
They quit giving me time outs and just went into auto invisible mode. My posts just disappeared. Just like every good person should do, disappear from Nextdoor. They use you to make money from advertisers. Not illegal just slug slime.
Good description. They actually hurt people’s feelings and cause them to withdraw from website communications. I read an article about social media and the downside. You’d have to give a damn to let Nextdoor hurt your feelings. Moderators have none, so sympathy is totally lost on that group!
Unfortunately many of us have some 'next doors' like that!😇
Next Door is toxic.
I can only handle facebook for 5 minutes at a time.
I only peep in at Reddit.
I think all social media is a waste of time.
I found myself growing increasingly nauseated by Facebook. Especially in my peer group.
I witness parents who don't put down the phone and incessant scrolling while their child is in front of them kicking and screaming.
However I do crave conversation. So I reluctantly started easing into ND. But it is so much worse. Especially the clan who sit atop a high horse and degrade everyone who doesn't think the same way they do.
Grown adults cannot be trusted to engage in civil conversation without wishing ill upon their neighbor.
At least I get to learn new things in this comment thread.
Otherwise I carry out my conversations with my animals. At least I can imagine my own back and fourth dialog with them.
My dogs are great listeners... but unless I have food, don't respond.
I have tried to teach them to talk --- alas.
They are HONEST...that's worth a LOT!🐶☺️
It's often not social and it's still 'in the middle' between us and whatever is REAL!🤓
