North Canyon Medical Center Auxiliary Exceeds $300,000 Goal Since 1981, dedicated volunteers have operated the North Canyon Medical Center Auxiliary Thrift Store. These volunteers work diligently to keep the store in top condition and to ensure that all items for sale are in good repair. Their main goal, however, is to donate All proceeds of the store to North Canyon Medical Center for the purchase of patient equipment. Their annual contributions range from $10,000 - $20,000, and this year they reached combined contributions of $323,110. “The Auxiliary members set a goal to exceed $300,000 in donations and were overjoyed to exceed their goal. We are grateful and impressed by the dedication and hard work of the Auxiliary members. They go above and beyond giving back to the community and
the hospital,” stated Shellie Amundson, Community Relations Director. “It is quite impressive to see how much the Thrift Store contributes back to the hospital, especially considering the low cost of items in the store. Many quality items are under $5.00 and they regularly have $1.00 sales,” she stated. The NCMC Auxiliary Thrift Store is open Monday
– Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. They accept all clean, usable donations such as clothing, books, knick-knacks, shoes, small appliances and just about anything you would like to donate. Donations are accepted during normal business hours. For more store information, please call 934-8604. Photographed are many of the Auxiliary members.

UPDATE:
ManMade Park
Just north of Fairfield there is an old gravel pit, part of which is county owned and part of which was state owned. For the last four or five years the county has been negotiating with the state to turn that area into a park and fishing pond. Last year, the county was rewarded for their hard work, and on March 10th of this year, the Camas County Board of Commissioners passed Ordinance #167. This ordinance identifies the boundaries of the new County Park property (formerly know as Manmade), and outlines rules of how it will be used. The ordinance also lists a number of things that will not be allowed such as dumping, burning, or shooting of firearms on the property. The full development of this new park will take a number years, and careful planning is needed to make it the type of place the residents of Camas County can be proud of. To that end, a recommending committee has been formed and is putting together plans for the future park. The Camas County Board of Commissioners encourage everyone to contact the board with any question or suggestions. This is a great project that will benefit Camas County for many years to come.
