News from the Nehalem Bay Health District

Submitted By: marc@nehalembayhd.org – Click to email about this post
The Amazing Generosity of a Former North Coast Resident

The Nehalem Bay Health District is the recipient of a remarkable $250,000 gift

This is the story of the kind and generous man who made it possible

Fred Cornforth led an amazing, impactful life. Fred, who lived in Boise, Idaho until his untimely death earlier this year at 64, also had a home for some time on the north coast. Fred, his wife and family loved the area as so many of us do.

Over the course of his working life Fred built a hugely successful non-profit company that he formed in the 1990’s to build affordable housing projects in nearly 20 states. And he gave back – in a very big way, funding food banks, dental clinics, homeless shelters and orphanages.

When Fred learned about the Nehalem Bay Health District’s plans to upgrade health and senior care and address workforce housing here on the north coast he immediately wanted to help, and he certainly did.

Late in 2023, through his non-profit company, Fred committed $250,000 to the Health District to use to advance its projects, as Fred said, “in any way that will do the most good.”

Fred’s pledge included donating half of his remarkable gift during 2024 with the remainder in 2025.

Every dollar from an individual gift or a foundation grant directed toward the Health District’s priorities makes a huge difference, ensuring that projects to improve local health and senior care and develop workforce housing are fully funded and will be successful over the long term.

The impact of Fred’s generosity is extraordinarily valuable to the Health District’s projects because the unrestricted nature of his gift allows the District to stretch local bond funding even farther.

Sadly, Fred Cornforth died in March 2024 after a courageous, inspiring battle with glioblastoma, a particularly awful form of brain cancer. His family and legion of friends continue to have the heartfelt condolences of all of us associated with the Nehalem Bay Health District, as well as our enduring thanks.

True to his word and totally in keeping with his compassionate generosity, the first half of Fred’s pledge – a check for $125,000 – arrived right around Thanksgiving.

Looking for on call babysitter

Submitted By: kat4house@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hi I’m helping a single dad of 4 find a babysitter. He is on call for Pacific Seafood during strange hours — 430 PM – 3 AM. He is a full time RVer with his 4 little ones all under 9. He and his ex had a breakup a couple months ago and she split so he needs help with the babysitting.

You’ll have to negotiate with him the prices. I am helping him until January.

Sweet family and the dad is desperate to find a safe place for his kids. He is not opposed to the babysitter staying in their RV but it might be easier to babysit at your own residence. The kids sleep early so you’d only need to be fully present the first couple of hours of the shift.

Please email me then I’ll give you his #.

Thank you.

A CHRISTMAS STORY FOR THESE TIMES

Submitted By: dixiegainer@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
It was days before Christmas and drones were about, What the heck is happening? The people did shout ! !!!

Karine Jean-Pierre, White House Press Secretary refused to answer the drone question and said she would not get into hypotheticals.…but said that President Biden has been wrestling and wrestling and wrestling with this question and has decided to preemptively pardon all further questions during his presidency!

But I know what the drones are:

Santa was notified by the Climate Change Committee that he can no longer use reindeer because their poop causes climate change. Drones were suggested. Santa felt they should stick with the original story of Christmas and phase in “the new drone delivery system” little by little, or kids would be even more upset then they are now, as many of them have just realized that the things they told Santa they wanted for Christmas were no longer appropriate for their new gender identities.
There was a big legal challenge (secretly) and finally Santa, realizing the enormous threat of climate disasters, and considering the millions of compensation in dollars offered to him, (which would come from diverting that big shipment of 988 millions of dollars for military equipment supposed to go to the Ukraine.) agreed to deliver presents by drones this year.

This money was diverted to Santa for new drone equipment, under the “Drones for Santa act” that was passed quickly and quietly in congress. What are over our skies now, are drones being flown by undocumented immigrants with serious criminal records, some in child trafficking who have been promised pardons by Biden, who also promised them American citizenship if they take these drone flying jobs and can deliver all presents on time by Christmas. They are practice flying these drones now.

This story was just published in the New Pork Times
