See you there!

I have been seriously thinking about the local “NO KINGS” marchers. The people who turn out every Saturday for the “NO KINGS” march, care very much about our country. It takes a lot of dedication to turn out every Saturday. There is no question about their patriotism. These are dedicated people who love and want to protect their country.
I am guessing that they think that something is wrong somewhere with our country and they want to stop it! They are right in thinking something is wrong!! There is something very wrong! Most of us who try to keep up with what is happening feel the same way. So they do the “NO KINGS” protest, and the rest of us try keep up with the latest best info – (Not to be found in main street media) What we have found so far:
The following in no way demeans the patriotism
of the local NO KINGS protesters.
“THE NO KINGS” rallies are funded! These protests are funded!! The signs, the messaging, the TV promotions in the news, etc. about these rallies are funded by the George Soros’s “Open Society Foundation”!! ( I do not think the local protests here is funded in any way) The Open Society Foundation, founded by George Soros is the world’s largest private funder of independent groups, SECRETLY working towards a “One World Government.” George Soros funded with millions of dollars, district attorneys running for that office, who vowed not to prosecute criminals!
KEY FINDINGS – the following information is from the FGA – the Foundation for Government Accountability:
George Soros has spent $40 million to elect district attorneys in states across the country. Soros backed district attorneys have a track record of failing to prosecute criminals, leading to rising crime rates across the country.
These Soros-backed district attorneys now represent more than 70 million Americans— They are now poised to treat ELECTION SECURITY the same way they have treated public safety!!
ELECTION SECURITY AND PUBLIC SAFETY backed by George Soros dollars? BYE BYE AMERICA!
Right now Oregon has the worst voter rolls in the nation – proved by a lawsuit brought about by Judicial Watch. ( legal document to be found on the internet)
The One World government is to be achieved by many different ‘quiet weapons’ such as laws sneaking past unknowing voters, TV news that distorts reality, funding Antifa and opposition groups etc. This ‘one world government’ will not be a democracy – It will be more like, but worse than, Chinese Communism!
We should all be worried! President Donald Trump is very small potatoes compared to the power of these groups that want to have a One World Order! POWER and MONEY? They have most of it, but they don’t have the power of the people. That is why they are dividing us and pitting us against each other. A COUNTRY DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF CANNOT STAND. Do you get it now!!
Best,
Patty

Saying Goodbye
To What Is So
Things became clear at his memorial.
Life-giving questions returned and we
were all blessed by this gift.
Absent our assumed distractions
and generations of repeated lines,
we can begin to feel, feel what
we are feeling, open a source
of blessing and grace. Coming down
to what is so, down with the power
of what is given, we can take
the uncommon step, seeing things
just as they are, allow the heart
to break, learn how to weep
in the remaining light. Witness
to the pain and cries of this world,
how can we live in communion
with what nourishes and honors life
and how are we to sustain this awake
relation to what is always arriving
in awareness? As we apprehend
how everything passes into silence,
how it is never clear when and if
we will ever meet again, life-giving
questions can return: How much love
do we wish to offer; How much love
are we able to receive? Together,
let us lay our burdens down.
The project fulfills a vision first imagined more than twenty years ago, when LNCT launched the Protect the Edge campaign to safeguard and connect vital habitat from Alder Creek to Nehalem Bay State Park. These edge lands nurture wildlife, buffer neighboring communities from winter storms, filter water entering the bay, and provide access to connect with nature.
On Tuesday, October 28th from 3pm – 5pm we will gather at Alder Creek Farm to celebrate. Light refreshments will be served, followed by a short program and optional walking tour to the property (roughly a half mile walk on damp natural and gravel surfaces, or van shuttle available). We recommend water resistant footwear. All are welcome!

We also extend our gratitude to everyone who helped the day run smoothly: those who kept a watchful eye on the crowd, assisted people in staying behind the barriers, Mr. Eagle Eye, volunteers helping with safe highway and street crossings, musicians and drummers, providers of muffins and fudge, and all who joined the downtown march. It truly felt like a festival of wonderful people.
To provide some context for recent protest participation numbers: according to the Invisible Team, April’s Hands Off Day saw an estimated 3 million participants nationwide, June’s No Kings Day had about 5 million participants across the country, and October’s No Kings Day reached approximately 7 million participants nationally. All these events, including ours, were committed to non-violence and remained peaceful demonstrations.
As we celebrate our community’s engagement, we remain focused on key priorities: protecting health care, ending the shutdown, and ensuring families have enough to eat.
In addition to organizing peaceful demonstrations, North County Resistance is committed to supporting local organizations that strengthen our community. We aim to partner with established groups, including the North County Food Bank in Wheeler, Nehalem Bay Community Services in Nehalem, the Rockaway Beach Lions Club, and Meals for Seniors in Rockaway Beach. Here’s how these organizations make a difference—and how you can help:
Meals for Seniors, Inc. — Rockaway Beach: For over 20 years, their mission has been to help senior citizens of North Tillamook County remain independent by providing nutritious meals and social opportunities. Meals are served and delivered from the dining hall at St. Mary’s by the Sea Church on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Meals for Seniors is a federally designated 501(c)(3) nonprofit (Tax ID#90-0097197), serving over 12,000 meals per year. To support Meals for Seniors, please consider donating or volunteering—contact them at 503-317-8967 or send donations to PO Box 852, Rockaway Beach, Oregon 97136.
Rockaway Beach Lions Club: This group provides food baskets for families and seniors at Thanksgiving and Christmas. To contribute or get involved, reach out to Rockaway Beach Lions, PO Box 611, Rockaway Beach, Oregon 97136.
North County Food Bank — Wheeler: Currently operating at the former Rinehart Clinic site on the hill, the Food Bank is moving to a new location and recently closed its clothing bank. They especially need food donations for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Please call 503-368-7724 to learn about current needs or mail donations to NCFB, PO Box 162, Wheeler, Oregon 97141. Food and cash/check donations are gratefully accepted.
Nehalem Bay Community Services (NBCS): Formerly under the Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church, NBCS now operates independently as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (Tax ID#93-4296849). They run the CHILD Program (providing clothing at the start of the school year and gifts at Christmas), Senior Lunches (served or delivered on Tuesday and Thursday), a food pantry, and a clothing bank. NBCS is open Monday, Friday, and Saturday. To support NBCS, send donations to NC, PO Box 232, Nehalem, Oregon 97131, and please note which project you wish to support.
Additionally, it is expected that Nehalem Grade School will collect food donations for children during school breaks at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I will investigate this further and provide updates as available.
Thank you for helping to care for our community. Your support makes a real difference.
Best,
Patty

We will meet at 11:30AM at the South Neahkahnie Trailhead for a walk down LNCT’s Headwater’s trail to our stewardship benches. Paper bag your lunch and enjoy a midday break outside with friends. The walk is ~2.5 miles round trip, with a gentle incline.
Note—the Headwaters trail is uneven and mildly steep in some areas. To access the Headwaters Trail, we will meet at the Neahkahnie Mountain South Trailhead parking lot and walk down from there. Plan to wear shoes with a decent tread and dress for the weather.
Visit nehalemtrust.org for more details.
If winds are forecast to be above 20mph, this event will likely be rescheduled. Please check LNCT’s events calendar for updates.
