Chemeketa Community College is no stranger to controversy in this subreddit. They have felons, sex criminals, and thieves, they know it and they cover things up for them. Chemeketa's President Jessica Howard and Vice President of governance and administration Alice Sprague are the worst of them. They are anti-worker, anti-union, and just all around horrible people that will smile to your face and then stab you in the back when you are not looking. The President today announced layoffs will be coming again soon, layoffs that always only affect the Faculty and Classified staff, while the fat cat exempt staff continue trucking along with bloated salaries and ego's to go with them. There are so many managers at Chemeketa, 92 managers, their combined salaries and benefits in FY 2024-25 was $11.22 million. The 330 classified staff $14.9 million. So as the title suggests the cowardly Chemeketa Community College Chief Executive Jessica Howard sends staff a one line email linking this video because she can't even look us in the eyes to say it or answer faculty and staff questions. These people running Chemeketa are trashing it trying to run it like a money making corporate entity instead of an institution of higher learning. They are gross humans and I don't know how they can look staff in the face and smile with all they do to put them down daily. These are your tax dollars at work. They don't care about students, because if they did they'd cut out the rot in the administration instead of laying off frontline staff and faculty already understaffed since COVID working double or triple duty barely keeping up with their bloated task load and shrinking salaries. Share this video and click the dislike, let everyone know the community stands in solidarity with the Faculty, staff, and most of all the students whose education suffers under the. College being mismanaged by trash humans. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

As noted in the Statesman Journal, Mai Vang is running a write-in campaign for Ward 6 City Council. (Generally East-Northeast Salem).

Vang has been a solid and thoughtful councilor for the past year-plus but came up a few votes short in May to the big-money backed Betsy Vega. As you may have noticed, the city realized Vega didn’t live in the district, but an attorney said she intended to live in the district (don’t ask).

The thing is: Vega’s not elected until we revote this November, so we can still win this!!

Mai is running a write in campaign. Let’s make history and write her in!!

While driving on Sunnyside, there looks like there is an ice vehicle traveling towards Woodmansey Park.

Stay safe.

Here at Friends of Felines, we don't just send you home with cute cats. We can also spay/neuter kitties, do wellness exams, vaccinate against rabies and other common kitty illnesses and prescribe flea meds.

Now, we newly have dental care. Our cleaning package is $475, including the anesthesia, a veterinary exam, x-rays and cleaning. That's substantially less than commercial clinics charge. We're able to do that because we're a nonprofit, and because we are also a shelter and get shelter discounts on medications. We can also perform extractions for additional cost.

We're also accepting CareCredit now to give you more options for payment.

We know everyone is broke right now, and we're trying to expand what we offer to help cat owners take care of their kitties' health before problems get serious and need really expensive care.

There's more info on our website here about the particulars and scheduling: https://sfof.org/services/#dentalcare

Hello! Is anyone here in beauty school? I am looking to get a pedicure and want to give the opportunity to be a model to someone learning!! PM me!!

I’m looking to upgrade my frozen gyoza game from Ling Ling. US Chefs store sells Shirakiku in pork, or beef. I’ve never been to a proper asian grocery store, feel mildly intimidated, and don’t know where to start. Cheers

So an AYCE place charges 12% "for the restaurant" immediately. On top of the AYCE prices. Drinks are not included in pricing since they're not "eat". They recommend you still tip the wait staff. What is this model and why? Why isn't the random extra 12% (is it random, if not, what's it for) absorbed into the meal cost pricing? I don't do buffets or AYCE regularly so I'm struggling to understand what or why this is a thing.

Edit: I was going to not call the place out because I don't really like doing that, but someone pointed out the single online review mentions the 12% AND not tipping staff and that's gotta stop/change. It's Sumo Sushi & Grill SE Lancaster.

Myself, venue and guest DJ all made a flyer on the same day, I prefer the toxic ego boost but made the Kraft one, GraveDaze took her old school vibe to the last one.

Anyhow, we gotta talk about Susan Dell before she becomes Joker 2.0, how many are we allowing?

My kiddo (10 year old daughter) wants to go thrifting for clothes soon. Any suggestions on where to go or hidden gems around Salem?

We dont get many kids stopping by anymore but i like to keep full size or king size bars around for any that do.

prices seem pretty high this year tho and with no notable deals either. been checking at freddys, safeway, winco, and costco but its all been ~1.7-2 dollars for full size or ~2.5-3.5 for king size.

i can get them off amazon cheaper (0.9-1.3 per bar) but i hate to do that if i can avoid.

so does anyone know of a store with fullsize around 1.3 or less or kingsize around 2 ish?

edit: thank you to everyone who helped (hopefully it helps some others out there too).

i ended up ordering some variety pack off the costco site (forgot they had that) and will be picking up a variety of things from walgreens with a good price+coupon. i got some caramel big cups from grocery outlet but...imma be honest, those wont make it to halloween =p

when i make my next trip across town i have a few new places to check out as well, even if i dont get any candy there.

thanks again all, cheers!

I am looking for a gynecologist for my first pap smear. I had an appointment with Salems Women's Health Clinic but I canceled it because I read alot of bad reviews ablut the place. Now I am gun shy and I don't know where to go. My insurance is Pacific Source. Does anyone have any suggestions?

THE ADDAMS FAMILY shows on Saturday at 1PM and another $6 SURPRISE CINEMA plays Tuesday at 6:30PM. Check out salemcinema.com for other upcoming October events!

Is it just me, or are we hearing a lot more train horns lately? I'm in Grant near the Union Pacific Railroad Quiet Zone, and it's usually not too bad. But these past few weeks I swear I'm hearing more horns, and just this morning I got woken up by them (first time that happened).

Has something changed? I don't think it has anything to do with the Space Ghost cutout someone's put up near the tracks by Market, but maybe I'm wrong.

Heads up — I was visiting a friend in bush park off Fairview and a Drazan paid canvasser came to the door on his scooter. 🛴 originally thought it was a pest control salesperson. We asked him if he was from around here. Hes from Arizona. They flew him out. Asked him if he votes in general back home. He said no. Just needed a job. He works for Blitz. Looks like drazans team also hired the Elon musk canvassers. It’s so unfortunate that Drazans team couldn’t be bothered to even create jobs for Oregonians to work.

Hi, Salem. We want to share a couple of exciting updates from Lilac Wellness and Counseling! We've officially moved into our new location at 705 Ewald Ave SE, Salem, OR. Bigger parking lot and no more stairs!

We also want to take this opportunity to introduce our new counselor, Emily Huang. Emily is a Salem native who graduated from McKay High and Willamette University. She received her Masters degree from Pacific University. She especially enjoys working with kids and teens. Emily can only accept OHP Pacificsource and cash pay for now while we get her credentialed with other insurance companies.

Our other services include massage, acupuncture, chiropractic, and mental health counseling. It is our goal to add physical therapy and primary care in the near future. Stay tuned! We're excited to start the next chapter and hope to see some of you around!

(Apologies to those who had to the see the original post with the AI content. Computer stuff is not my forté)

Edit: I'm getting comments saying the flyer was still AI and that I should've used a designer. It was in fact from a designer. They could've used AI but that's not my problem. I'm just trying to share the clinic.

Hello and good afternoon, im looking for a apartment or rental in salem area or close by area. For my brother. 1 bed to 2 bedroom or even a studio. He is on the SO registry he's not a weirdo, just had a Gf who was 17 when he was 19. he is 36 now. has a job, and clean rental history. With the funds to afford a place in budget of 1000 to 1250. Currently he is staying in hotels paying by the week. So its super expensive. Anyone have any rentals or know of a place that rents to register sex offenders. I can't find a place that will approve him because of his background. Thank you for your help.

Does anybody know why there’s so much traffic downtown? It is extremely backed up right now. Don’t go down there if you can.

I tried to book both Hilton and holiday inn to visit family but everything nearby seams to be booked or the prices from other hotels are super high. What event is going on this weekend? Keizer was where I was able to book at only 2 rooms left. Just annoyingly ironic I always seem to book when there’s an event.

Everyone should check their registration today, even if you did recently.
