Steakhouse celebrates its home on Washington Street

25th annual luau returns July 20

By DAVID HAYES Itemizer-Observer

Twenty-five years ago, a friend in real estate told Debi and Glen Conaway about a property available on Washington Street in Dallas.

There sat a building currently unused that had been there since the early 1960s – the former Howie Goodfellows Tavern and more recently Scooters Diner. It had been shut down for a year.

“We came and looked at it. We had a vision and decided to go for it,” Debi recalled. “We learned Howie’s, as a business, closed down the day Glen and I met. So, we thought this was our destiny.”

Their vision proved to more than a brush with destiny, as their dream became Dallas community mainstay, as Washington Street Steakhouse and Pub celebrates its 25th anniversary July 20. Glen had experience as a chef for several years and Debi’s background had been customer service, marketing and sales.

“We wanted to make it a local’s favorite with house-made food.

Where Glen could use his culinary skills and I could use my skills to make it a great business,” Debi said.

“It was hard at first. People don’t see that now today. We had some hard times but overall, the community has been responsively good to us.”

Today, Debi and Glen remain owners the steakhouse and are slowly stepping back from running the day-to-day operations in favor of the next generation, daughter Lauren Hoefler and her husband Adam.

While they joined the business 12 years ago, Debi recalls Lauren pitching in long before that.

“Lauren started as a little girl rolling quarters in the office,” Debi recalled. “We’d keep her busy going into fourth grade. She’s always been a part of this business.”

“My sister and I used to dance right here to Britney Spears,” Lauren added, pointing to the dining room.

“We would just hang out here while they were remodeling.”

A 2008 graduate of Dallas High School, Lauren and Adam both moved off to attend the University of Oregon, he to study business, she advertising.

Three generations celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Washington Street Steakhouse and Pub, including (from left) managers Adam and Lauren Hoefler and their son Caden, owners Glen and Debi Conaway and their grandchildren Kylie and Cruise.

“We lived other places, but somehow we ended up back here because we knew this community was a great place to raise our children,” Lauren said.

“Lauren has taken over my role in the business, working with HR, payroll, marketing, vendors, pest control, scheduling, back of house

Take that day 13 years ago when sisters Rosemary Carlsen and Elizabeth Callahan stopped by the museum - then at the Baptist church - to donate hundreds of glass negatives taken by their grandfather, Albert Clinton Moore. Some of the negatives were more than 100 years old.

“The glass plates, nobody knew what to do with them. So, our brother was still alive then, and the three of us came over to the old Baptist church and gave it to the museum,” Carlsen said. “We told them we don’t know what to do with them. But we think these might be of some interest.”

The glass negatives were delivered, as stored by Moore himself, in a light-proof satchel. Museum staff was told not to open it.

“He had one of the first cameras, and all these wonderful pictures were on glass plates. And we inherited this satchel that’s full of these glass plates, and you dare not open

Fire Marshal mobilizes

Polk County assets for Larch Creek Fire

The Oregon State Fire Marshal requested a task force for assistance from Polk County to combat the Larch Creek Fire near Dufur, Oregon. This task force, led by Lt. Zach Leigh of SW Polk Fire District, includes apparatus and members from the Dallas Fire Department, Polk County Fire District #1, SW Polk Fire District, and the Grand Ronde Tribal Fire Department. The task force arrived at 6 a.m. July 11 to support fire operations and help protect local communities.

Sheriff’s Office conducting enforcement campaign

This July, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office is partnering with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Oregon Impact for an enforcement campaign to reduce the risk of dangerous crashes due to speeding, distracted driving, and driving under the influence. This enforcement campaign is through July 31. Throughout the month, there will be enhanced marked patrols conducted by members of the PCSO. This enhanced enforcement is made possible through grant funding provided by the NHTSA and Oregon Impact.

Daltons named tree farmers of the year

Pam and Jock Dalton of Polk County have been selected Oregon’s Outstanding Tree Farmers of the Year for 2024. The Oregon Tree Farm System (OTFS) presented the award at the Oregon Family Forest Convention in June. That convention was jointly hosted by the Oregon Tree Farm System and the Oregon Small Woodlands Association (OSWA).

Pam Dalton has deep roots on the family’s 700+ acre tree farm near Dallas. The farm has been in her family since 1917. Jock plays an integral role in actively managing the forest with Pam.

The Oregon Tree Farm System emphasizes the values of wood, water, wildlife, and recreation. Pam and Jock epitomize the attention tree farmers give to the sustainability of all four values.

“People should not be intimidated by the challenges of managing a tree farm; just take it one bite at a time,” Jock Dalton advises, adding, “Pam and I are honored to be chosen Oregon’s 2024 Tree Farmers of the Year.”

The Daltons harvest timber and replant, as well as promoting forest health and growth through a pre-commercial and commercial thinning regime. They maintain and protect two springs on their forest, as well as a pond, replacing the dike as necessary using their own heavy equipment. Bear, cougar, deer and elk have happy homes on their forest, along with a host of birds and smaller mammals. The Daltons host campouts at their family gathering spot in a shelter built by an earlier generation, complete

with a dinner bell that Pam enjoys ringing.

Pam and Jock are proud of their Tree Farm Certification and the hard work they do that shows they are managing their forest by American Tree Farm System’s International Standards of Sustainability, and the part they play in fulfilling the purpose of the Oregon Tree Farm System: Making Oregon a Better Place, One Acre at a Time.

“OTFS’s Tree Farmer of the Year program celebrates the sustainable forest practices all our members espouse, and we are proud of the Daltons and all the County Tree Farmers of the Year,” said Steve and Wylda Cafferata, Co-Chairs of the Oregon Tree Farm System.

For 58 years, the Oregon Tree Farm System has recognized family forest landowners who provide forest

benefits and products using sound forestry management.

The American Tree Farm System and its state chapters operate an internationally recognized forest certification program overseen by and for family forest landowners to promote sustainable forest management through education, recognition, and assistance.

Missing drowned teen’s body found in Keizer

The teenager who disappeared under the water in the Willamette River has been found dead in Keizer Rapids Park. He has been identified as Gregorio MaximianoSolano, 13, of California. Independence police detectives and the Polk County medical examiner were on scene at Keizer Rapids Park.

According to the Independence Police Department MaximianoSolano’s death has been ruled an accidental drowning by the Polk County medical examiner.

On July 7, just after 5 p.m., Maximiano-Solano disappeared under the water while playing in the Willamette River near Riverview Park. Soon after, Polk County Emergency responders and the US Coast Guard arrived

and conducted water rescue efforts, including dive and flyover searches. Over 24 hours after the incident, emergency personnel transitioned the effort into a recovery process.

After a multiagency effort to search the area with dive teams was unsuccessful, the recovery effort was performed primarily through boat patrol along the Willamette River.

“My heart is, and has been, with the Solano family these past several days,” said Independence Police Chief Robert Mason. “My hope is our community can transition into a place of healing now that Gregorio has been found.”

A GoFundMe page has been set up to help Maximiano-Solano’s family with expenses at bit. ly/3WiLkPM. According to

the GoFundMe page, the Maximiano-Solano family are a migrant family from California, here working harvesting berries.

“Gregorio was a good child who has always been very helpful to his family,” wrote Carmelita Maximiano, a family member of the Maximiano-Solanos. “Always willing to help around the house and watch his siblings so his parents could work.”

The Maximiano-Solanos have no family in Oregon, but several of their family members from California had come to help in the search.

The Independence Police Department thanked all the agencies involved in finding Maximiano-Solano, including the Polk County Sheriff’s Office Marine Patrol and Search and Rescue, Polk

County Fire District No. 1, Monmouth - Independence Chaplains program, Benton County Search and Rescue and Marine Patrol, Linn County and Multnomah County Dive Teams, Salem police, Keizer police, and the US Coast Guard.

“Additionally, Independence police would like to extend gratitude to the Independence community for

supplying the Solano family and first responders with food, supplies, and compassion during this difficult situation,” the IPD said in the press release.

Considering this tragic event, the IPD shared a link to the National Drowning Prevention Alliance’s 10 Open Water Safety Tips online at https://ndpa. org/10-open-water-safety-tips.

WOU receives Spirit Mountain Community Fund grant to support community needs

Western Oregon University’s Center for Equity and Gender Justice – called

Abby’s House – received a $50,000 grant from Spirit Mountain Community Fund to help support individuals experiencing food insecurity, survivors of domestic abuse, and sexual assault.

“Since September 2022, Abby’s House has provided 51,321 pounds of food and 5,780 clothing items and demand for their services has grown exponentially,” said Director of Abby’s House Kristen Perry. “This grant will ensure that individuals requiring basic needs and

survivorship resources continue to receive robust wraparound support and care.”

The mission of Abby’s House is to provide the campus and greater community with educational opportunities, resources, and referral services designed to promote equity and non-violence. Basic needs support for the Western campus and the broader Monmouth-area community is also a primary focus of Abby’s House, which houses the Stitch Closet and Monmouth’s only food pantry.

it because the light would expose it,” Carlsen said. Carlsen and Callahan shared custody of the satchel and glass negatives over the years, making sure to keep it in a dark closet, before donating it. Photographer Dennis Galloway processed the negatives.

The photographs that are part of the Albert Clinton Moore Collection were taken over a 20-year period that ended in the 1930s.

As impressive as the photographs are, it took a bit more to get them out of the archives and onto the museum floor.

That something extra arrived in 2023 when the granddaughters made another donation. This time it was physical artifacts from the

Fairgrounds

County envisions big expansion

From Page A1

Second, to get the rest of the way to the $50 to $60 million needed for expansion, Hansen said the county would then have to introduce a general obligation bond. That would require the commissioners to get voters to approve a 20 to 25-cent per $1,000 evaluation rate.

“Those are the realities,” Hansen concluded. Ray explained the fair committee has been meeting over the last six to eight months mapping out a strategic plan for the fairgrounds, looking for more sustainable ways to make it less burdensome on the county’s general fund.

“We challenged the group to open their minds and reimagine what that facility could look like, should look like and how that would open the facility up to larger, more year-round economic driving events,” Ray said.

The future plan they drafted expands the grounds out into the unused, 10 acres behind the fairgrounds that is used only for overflow parking. The barns and other buildings would all be demolished and replaced with larger configurations.

“One of the new planned barns would equal all of the barns we have now,” Ray said.

Additionally, the current arena would be moved and reoriented with 3,500 covered seats.

“There is not a space like that that exists currently in

family, many of which are seen in Moore’s photographs.

Among the artifacts donated were the dress and shoes worn by Rose Moore, Albert’s wife, at their wedding, along with his satchel. Callahan and Carlsen wore their grandmother’s shoes on their wedding days.

The artifacts added a new dimension to Moore’s photographs.

“That’s when I connected with them,” museum curator Amy Christensen said. “That’s when it became more than a neat collection, and became, like, okay, this an exhibit.”

Not that Albert Moore’s photographs aren’t special in their own right. They are. They take people beyond the stodgy and formality often associated with the early 1900s. Instead, Moore offers a more relaxed view of that era.

“We get to see a vision of what family life looked like in 1910 that was so different than the usual, because it was very intimate, very loving, and very informal for the time,” Christensen said of the photographs. “Not only that,

Polk County, allowing use more throughout the year,” Ray said. “It allows special events outside fair week.”

Anderson explained she has events booked throughout the year but is limited by the fairgrounds size to accepting applications to smaller organizations. Anderson said a larger rodeo has been in contact the last five years asking Polk County to build a better arena to have all their events here.

Larger events lead to bigger problems, she added.

“One problem is we don’t have enough hotels in Polk County to bring in some of the biggest events,” Anderson said. “A logging event in Eugene would love to be in Polk County. But they would literally take the entire fairgrounds leaving no place to park.”

Ray said another area they need to plan for expansion is the growing involvement in livestock operations and projects in Polk County which have exploded since the pandemic.

“We’re not sure how we’re going to fit them all this August,” he said. “My first year here as ag teacher in 2004, that livestock auction generated $80,000. Last year, they hit about $600,000 in one day. We see this as investment in community and our youth, creating a center that can drive economics in Polk County.”

In addition to accommodating additional organizations, Anderson said a bigger footprint for the fairgrounds would also allow for room for emergency operations.

“You can’t understand unless you saw the fairgrounds during the 2020 fires. We had over 400 animals with

it was so connected to here because their parents were from Independence, they were from Independence, their children were from Independence. So it’s just such a local story … It’s a valuable story to tell.”

Especially since most photographs from that era leaned toward poses that are known today for their very lack of intimacy and originality.

“What’s unique about (Moore’s) images is the casualness of his subjects, such as his children, Ramona and Dan. His specialty was everyday life, not the posed pictures people associate with that era,” Christensen said. “It’s a great example of how a local family’s history can paint a broader picture about local history.”

Museum Director Natascha Adams added her insight.

“Through the lens of Albert Moore’s photography, you can view life in Independence, in the early 20th century.

Moore skillfully captured tender family moments shared between himself, Rose, and their children,” Adams said

PLANS CONTRIBUTED BY POLK COUNTY FAIR BOARD

Plans show the current layout of the Polk County Fairgrounds (left) and a future proposal with bigger facilities and an expanded footprint (right).

75 families. As we were doing plans and moving forward, this is a big piece we had not taken into consideration before,” she said.

The commissioners agreed now is the time to move from discussing plans to making plans for the future of the fairgrounds. Commissioner Lyle Mordhorst recommended a motion to move forward exploring creating a tax district for expanding the fairgrounds to meet the needs of the communities and county. It was unanimously approved.

As discussions continue over the coming months, Commissioner Jeremy Gordon, who has experience planning big music venue operations, wanted the fair committee to develop a business and staffing plan.

“What revenues can we anticipate and maybe more importantly, I’m really going to want to see a lot more community engagement on what they’d like to see for events,” Gordon said. “What will give us the competitive advantage, to be able to draw to people to Polk County.”

One immediate plan is to set up a booth at this year’s

fair in August to take input. Then put together plan a to show the community what the timeline rollout would look like.

County Chair Craig Pope said for 60 years he’s been a participate one way or another on the fairgrounds property. Now in his 14th year as commissioner, he’s seen the ebb and flow of what the county has been able to do for that property. He said he made it

one of his biggest issues running for office making certain the county can maintain it properly and manage it for best interest of the citizens.

“We’re fortunate today we’re doing that, barely. We’re squeaking by. But in my tenure here, we’ve had some very difficult times. And before I got here, absolute worst times in the ability for the commissioners to supplement the needs of the

fairgrounds,” Craig said. “Very challenging for me to see the future of this enterprise if it can’t find a pathway for funding that’s secure.” While Hansen said the process could be expedited to get a ballot measure to voters by May 2025, Mordhorst preferred going to ballot in 2026 to allow for more time to generate interest and educate the public on the plan.

Longtime neighbor not happy recycling center replacing dairy

By MARK SCOTT

I read with great interest the article titled “Garbage man eyes transforming dairy farm.” Well here is this transformation from a different angle. I have lived across the road from Rickreall Dairy for almost 30 years. First off, I am not someone that moves in across from the dairy then complains about the cows and the by-products they produce. I knew what I was buying into when I moved here.

Less than a year after moving in there was a flood, Rickreall creek runs through the back of my property. The 1996 Flood was the “100year flood” as they like to say and yes my house flooded. Our house was even in the article front page of the Statesman Journal. So we picked up the mess gutted the inside of the house and rebuilt what we had to due to the damage.

Eleven years later (2007) I guess we had the “125-year flood” come through and the water was higher and more damaging than before. The wife and I after mulling it over decided to tear down the old house and start over by building a new house on a 5-foot higher raised foundation. We spent every dime of money we had and also borrowed some to make this happen. We built at that time the house we would spend our retirement and the rest of our lives in.

So, we obviously had no problem living across from a dairy; the dairy owners were considered friends and neighbors. Then we saw ads that the dairy was for sale for millions of dollars, much speculation and secrecy. Then comes rumors that it has sold but again, very much secrecy and even threats to people that knew who bought it not to tell anyone.

At this point we decided to try to sell our property and house so we went on the market for six months.

Soon realtors were telling us that it was going to be an impossible sale due to the fact a dump was moving in across the street. What the hell?

Again, much hand wringing and secrecy, rumors flying everywhere. Then the cows were being hauled out by the semi-truck load every day, equipment being sold, and still nothing. In six months we only had three people even view the house.

Finally the word comes out that a “recycle center” is going across the street and that someone would contact surrounding property owners with details of the new plans by September. Nothing but crickets.

Finally earlier this year someone shows up on my doorstep with pretty fliers and computer generated pictures of the wonderful facility replacing the dairy. Upon much questioning the “recycling center” becomes “transfer station” and scales and “public access” is going right across the street from my house.

Just great! Ever been to the transfer station in Salem or Brooks? This is a dump folks, just imagine how large this could become when coffin butte closes.

So despite your article being all wonderful fairy dust, rainbows, and unicorns, this is a nightmare for the neighbors surrounding the old Dairy. The dairyman gets his money, Polk County gets their dump, and the neighbors get nothing. We have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars of property value and the living here in our dream house for the rest of our lives has turned into a nightmare. We had no warning and no hearings. We didn’t buy into this.

Letters to the editor

Political violence originated with Trump supporters on Jan. 6

Cool it down? I watched the abbreviated Trump rally on July 13 and heard what Trump had to say about migrants and “stolen elections”. I recall the mob attack on our capital building by Trump supporters on Jan. 6, 2021 and am currently reading a most excellent book by Liz Cheney about that event. I note that Joe Biden has asked us to reject political violence and cool it down. I very much agree that we should reject political violence - reject almost any kind of violence for that matter.

In the Trump rally video I observed secret service personnel

(within about two seconds of hearing shots fired) risking their lives to protect one person. In Liz Cheney’s book I read that same person did nothing for three hours on Jan. 6 as death and destruction was taking place in our capital. Now some of the same people that planned and participated in the events of Jan. 6 are saying we should unite under the leadership of that “do nothing for three hours” person. Cool it down? I don’t think so.

Cause Esophageal

DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m a

68-year-old female with osteopenia. My doctor wants me to take a bone medication such as Boniva or Fosamax. I’ve read that folks with esophageal issues may be harmed by taking these. Can you explain why?

-- C.M.C.

ANSWER: First off, we don’t usually treat isolated low bone mass (osteopenia) with powerful medicines like the ones you mentioned, which are both bisphosphonates. These medicines have the potential for harm and should only be used when the benefits clearly outweigh the risks.

A person with low bone mass and a history of a fragility fracture has osteoporosis, regardless of their bone density. Some people with low bone density may be at such a high risk for fracture (based on their FRAX score) that treatment is indicated. Before treating someone with medication, many authorities recommend a 10-year risk of a fracture of 20% or higher (or a risk of a hip fracture

Disorders

of 3% or higher). You should find out your FRAX score.

The issue with the esophagus is that if pills get stuck in the esophagus, they can cause severe damage to it. So, people with esophageal disorders -- such as achalasia, esophageal stricture or varices, or Barrett’s esophagus -- should not take these types of medicines by mouth. People with reflux without these complications can take oral bisphosphonates as long as they can comply with staying upright for 30 minutes after taking them.

DEAR DR. ROACH: My boyfriend got cancer from HPV. He was successfully treated. Is he capable of transmitting it to me? -- S.

ANSWER: HPV causes different types of problems. Warts are all caused by HPV, but only a few strains of HPV can predispose people to cancer.

The most common HPV-related cancer in men is head and neck cancer, since HPV is the leading cause of these cancers. Most of these cases in men occur from a sexually acquired HPV infection. Men are at a higher risk for HPV-related head and neck cancers than women, even though women are at a much higher risk for the overall HPV-related cancers (since cervical cancer unfortunately remains common).

Once a person has HPV, they can potentially spread the virus, even without any visible signs of

To Worsen

infection. Condoms reduce but do not eliminate the risk of transmission. Close skin-to-skin contact is necessary for transmission, and although sexual contact is a common way of transmitting HPV, it is not necessary. Most people cure themselves of the virus within a few years.

By far, the best way to prevent HPV transmission (apart from never having close contact with anyone) is vaccination. The HPV vaccine is highly effective at preventing infection if it is given before the onset of sexual activity, but it still may be fully or partially effective after the onset of sexual infection.

The HPV vaccine prevents infection, but it is not recommended for treatment. The recommendation from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is to vaccinate at the age of 11 or 12, up to the age of 26. But it is approved up to the age of 45. I have rarely given individual patients the HPV vaccine even after that age, based on their particular circumstances, and insurance typically does not pay for it in the United States.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell. edu. (c) 2024 North America Synd., Inc. All Rights

Lindy Lynn Rickert

Jan. 29, 1979 - July 7, 2024

Kentucky. 101st Airborne Division at that time. After spending a truly wonderful chapter together in Tennessee, the two soulmates were married July 17, 2010, at Suttle Lake, Oregon.

In 2013, Lindy and Carter decided to move back home to Oregon to be close to family and to start one of their own. Moving back to the Rickert family farm opened a door to a new opportunity and dream — to start their own business, a cidery. This chapter led to a new career path for both of them, and most importantly, a beautiful family of four. On Lindy’s birthday, Jan. 29, in 2014, their daughter, Piper Rose Rickert, was born. The following year, on March 12, 2015, Lindy and Carter welcomed their son, Colton Carter Rickert. Piper and Colton were the center of Lindy’s world, and she always considered them her greatest accomplishment.

Aaron had a rich and varied career history. In the early 1960s he was a welder. He had always enjoyed welding and in 1976 he received a degree of associate in science from Chemeketa Community College. Shortly after that, he was hired by Chemeketa as a welding instructor.

She attended the one room Pine Creek School through the fourth grade where she and her brother Dick walked the two miles to school. The family moved to Livingston, and she graduated from Park County High School. In 1953 Carol then attended the University of Montana in Missoula and graduated in 1957 with a Bachelor of Music degree, specializing in choral music and piano. Following graduation, she was employed by the Vernonia, Oregon, Elementary School, teaching music for two years and enjoyed her new Volkswagen “Beetle” convertible.

Aaron’s highlight of his working years began in the late 1980s when he started his own business, Target Plastics. He retired from that business and used his free time to dedicate his services to Rotary International. He served as President of Salem Sunset Rotary Club and then later as District Governor of Rotary District 5100. His role as District Governor ignited a passion for travel as he and Mary visited many countries where they made new friends and developed a deep desire to support communities around the world that were in need.

A favorite hobby of Aaron’s was cooking anything and everything on his Traeger. He was known for his delicious smoked cheese, Canadian bacon and ribs.

Carol moved to Livingston, Montana, in 1959 and married her high school sweetheart, Bob Kenyon. She taught music education at five Park County elementary and junior high schools in Livingston, rotating with each and every week, until Bob graduated from Montana State University in Bozeman in 1964. They then moved to Oahu, Hawaii, where they were both employed by the Kamehameha School for Hawaiian students, and she taught piano music for three years. Their three sons, Greg, Randy and Gordon were born before the family moved to Dallas, Oregon, in 1971 when her husband was employed by Dallas High School.

Tyler was born on March 28, 1992, in Salem, Oregon, the son of Jackie Bell and Dan Bell. Tyler attended Faith Christian School, Whitworth Elementary and LaCreole Middle School. Tyler graduated from Dallas High School in 2010.

Tyler liked sports. He started playing Kids Inc. T-Ball, later minors, majors, JBO and all four years at Dallas High School. He also played soccer and football. Tyler started working at North Dallas Bar & Grill out of high school as a dishwasher. He worked his way up to prep cook, cook and and later bartender. Tyler loved to cook for family and friends, a favorite being barbecue, and was always on the lookout for new recipes. He smoked turkey for the Thanksgiving family gatherings and prime rib for the family Christmas. He also made a great Oreo cookie cheesecake.

Lindy attended LaCreole Junior High School and graduated from Dallas High School in 1997, where she was wellknown for her magnetic personality and her involvement in various team sports such as softball and volleyball. During her youth in Dallas, Lindy made many exceptional and lasting friendships that only strengthened with time. Following graduation from DHS, Lindy attended Arizona State University, earning a bachelor’s degree in Journalism in 2001. While at ASU, she took the opportunity to study abroad in London for one year.

Lindy loved to travel the world, and her adventures included Central and South America, Europe and Asia. She also loved exploring the Pacific Northwest, including countless trips to the Oregon Coast and camping with friends on the Metolius river in Central Oregon and Flathead Lake, Montana.

Aaron is preceded in death by his parents, Kenneth and Gertrude Cooper; his wife, Mary; and grandson, Christian Abshire. Shortly after Aaron passed away, his son Rocky Cooper met him in Heaven on July 4.

Aaron is survived by his daughter, Cathy Abshire (Tim); daughter-in-law, Teri Cooper; five grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister, Roxie Cooper.

Carol served as church choir director, taught school, attended floral school, was a florist and raised her family. Her husband Bob died in 2002 after 41 years of marriage, then in 2004 she married her longtime friend, Norm Thompson.

Carol enjoyed her home, and church; as well as travel to Israel, Alaska, Hawaii, and by motorhome across the U.S. then south to Florida and then returning across the southwestern states. She loved flowers, trains, hot air balloons and the Alburquerque Balloon Fiesta; light houses, her ’66 Ford Mustang, visiting

Tyler has worked at The Alibi Bar & Grill in West Salem for two and a half years. He enjoyed working there and made many friends along the way. He always had a smile and kind words for others.

Tyler loved animals including his beloved K9 companion Koba. A favorite pastime was attending Seattle Mariners and Seahawks games. He liked traveling around the country and visiting new places. He also loved his sports cars and pickup trucks, owning several over the years.

Tyler is survived by his mother, Jackie Bell (Dave Bufka); father, Dan Bell;

Lindy loved to swim in the sparkling waters of high mountain lakes and streams, which she made an annual tradition with her friends and family. In 2007, Lindy pursued the opportunity of a lifetime. While living in Portland, Oregon, she applied for and was awarded the marketing director position at R.J. Young, a Digital Production and IT services company located in Nashville, Tennessee. Lindy’s confidence, down-to-earth “people skills” and unparalleled marketing skills made her a huge success in her new role.

Lindy loved Tennessee and Tennessee loved Lindy, which was no surprise to anyone! This was a truly magical turning point in her life as it was also where she reconnected with lifelong friend, Carter Rickert from Dallas, as he was based at Fort Campbell,

In 2016 Lindy and Carter’s dream came to fruition; The Salt Creek Cider House was legally formed and began producing best-in-class local ciders of many varieties. A year later, the cidery was unveiled for an epic “sneak peak” to the public during the 2017 Solar Eclipse, which was truly an unforgettable event, welcoming guests from around the world. The Salt Creek Cider House was officially open to the public in 2019 — a huge accomplishment for Lindy and Carter. Lindy’s vision and dream came to life with the cidery, which is evident in the beautifully restored barn, local artwork, and outdoor country setting. Welcoming guests and hosting events of all kinds was truly her pride and joy, a family legacy that she instilled and upheld. Lindy described herself as a collector of people. She loved people and always brought the best out in everyone she met. She loved music — including country, folk, blues and gospel. She also adored animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to chickens and ducks (to the point where her friends nicknamed their home “the funny farm”). Lindy was also a “foodie” and loved to cook. Her greatest love, however, was her children; she loved Piper and Colton so deeply and with all of her heart. Lindy was 100% devoted to her family. Lindy is survived by her husband, Carter; daughter and son, Piper and Colton; mother, Donna Graham; sisters, Brenda Hess and Candace Taylor; nieces Kassie and Christy Taylor; nephews Luke, Owen, Eli and Thomas Hess; father and mother-inlaw Wayne and Janet Rickert; sister-in-law, Leah Rickert; and brothers in law, John Hess and Scott Taylor. She was preceded in death by her father, John Graham.

Lindy will be laid to rest at Salt Creek Cemetery in a private family ceremony prior to her public celebration of life and love, which will be held Saturday, July 20, from 2-5 p.m. at Salt Creek Cider House (14500 Salt Creek Road, Dallas, OR). Memorial contributions, in lieu of flowers, may be made to Faith Christian School in Lindy’s memory. Stein@faithchristian.school

INVESTIGATING THE BIBLE: Testing and Temptations

By DAVID CARLSON PASTOR

A religious man faced a strong temptation. The enticement was winning, since he prayed, “Please Lord, give me strength to resist this temptation, but not now!”

On any drive to a local store, there can be something lurking to wedge into our weaknesses: Breaking the speed limit, alcohol, tobacco, unhealthy foods, gambling, road rage, and much more. And we may face painful difficulties or illness. Jesus gave his followers a prayer that responds to the challenge of temptations and troubles.

The Lord’s Prayer is often recited in churches each week.

Jesus said, “Pray then like this: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your

Obit

From Page A6

kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.’”

(Matthew 6:9-13, English Standard Version, used throughout).

It is reasonable to ask why Jesus would instruct his disciples to ask that God not lead them into temptation. Satan is usually identified as the one leading people into temptation. He came into the garden to test Adam and Eve. Satan afflicted Job to turn him against God, bringing the death of his family, deprivation, and disease on his body. Satan tempted Jesus at the beginning of this ministry.

To leave an online condolence or share a memory with the family, please use the following link:

So why would Jesus tell his followers to ask that God not walk them into some problematic place? Jesus’ words model a humble person’s request, with recognition of his weakness and desire for God’s serenity. An expanded statement of this part of the prayer could be, “Instead of a giving us a gauntlet of trials and hardships, please protect and keep us in a safe place.”

The latter part of that verse in the Lord’s prayer states the inevitable reality, that evil will come to test believers. They need not ask for it. So believers must ask and look for God’s deliverance. Evil is clearly in our world in our daily news. Recently in Wyoming, 14-year-old Bobby Mahn defended his girlfriend, who was being harassed and

followed by two other teens in a shopping mall. Bobby tried to walk away. They followed him into the parking lot and stabbed him to death.

Evil is also internal. Jesus said. “What comes out of a person is what defiles him. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within and they defile the person.” (Mark 7:20-23).

Regardless of these challenges, the Bible offers promises of hope and help. For assaults of evil on believers from the world, the apostle Paul wrote, “So I was rescued from the lion’s mouth. The

Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom.” (II Timothy 4:17-18).

Jewish King David, who encountered many obstacles, wrote, “The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.” (Psalms 8:9).

For internal struggles, Paul wrote, “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation, he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” (I Corinthians 10:13).

Prayer is available for everyone whenever a difficulty looms. In 1975, a long drought had parched the

western plains and no rain was in the forecast. Lieutenant Governor George Nigh of Oklahoma proclaimed a state-wide day of prayer for rain to be observed by all churches and citizens across the state on Sunday, Feb. 29, 1975. Only a few days later, on March 2 and 3, up to 1½ inches of rain fell, ending the drought and the state held a day of Thanksgiving the next Sunday.

State issues air quality alert for Willamette Valley, northern Umatilla County

By LYNNE TERRY Oregon Capital Chronicle

As residents struggle through triple digit temperatures, people in eastern Oregon and the Willamette Valley are facing high smog levels caused in part by the heat.

The Department of Environmental Quality, Lane Regional Air Protection Agency and Southwest Clean Air Agency issued an air quality advisory Monday due to elevated levels of ozone pollution. They said it will affect northern Umatilla County through Monday and last in the Portland-Vancouver area and Willamette Valley through Tuesday – along with the heat wave.

By Monday afternoon, the worst air quality statewide was in Eugene, Silverton, south of Portland and in Hermiston.

“Adam is general manager, so he is big part of business dayto-day activities.”

The Conaways opened their restaurant on Washington Street as a steakhouse. A year in, they added breakfast. For the past 24 years, they’ve been serving breakfast, lunch and dinner without fail. Loyal customers will never see a “Gone Fishing” sign on the door, Debi said.

“We pride ourselves on consistency. If we say we’re going to be here, we’re here. And we just make it through

Health officials said certain groups are especially susceptible to the health effects of smog, including children, pregnant people, older adults and those with heart disease or respiratory conditions. They recommended that they limit outdoor activity when pollution levels are high.

They also said people should:

- Limit driving and instead use public transit or carpool.

- Avoid unnecessary engine idling.

- Refuel vehicles when it’s cooler in the evening.

the good and bad times. And the quality of our product,” Debi said.

The bad times included the recent pandemic when most businesses were forced to close.

“We did well during the pandemic,” Debi said. “ We had a catering vehicle and catering business with this. We just thought ahead started delivering before the shut down.”

“We started delivering in February, offered for free, just to kind of to get everyone used to ordering it,” Lauren added.

Also, new technology allowed them to facilitate and streamline online ordering from either their catering or restaurant menu.

- Avoid using gas-powered equipment in the yard.

- Postpone painting and aerosol spray projects.

- Smog forms when hot temperatures and low winds combine with pollution from cars, gas-powered engines and chemicals in paints and aerosols. They react with sunlight and heat, producing ozone and haze.

Pollution increases throughout the day as the sun blazes, and levels are the highest in the afternoon and early evening, when it also tends to be the hottest. That means that an

“I don’t even know if they remembered if they did,” Debi admitted of their longtime employees.

The popular event returns July 20 for its 25th anniversary. Both customers and employees dress up for the occasion. All dinner specials – including Hawaiian chicken, coconut prawns, pineapple habanero pork ribs and slow smoked prime rib - are served in their signature pineapple bowls with steamed rice, macaroni salad and a Hawaiian roll.

The first 50 customers will receive special, “swag bag” gifts.

The heat combined with traffic exhaust and other factors have created hazardous air quality conditions in parts of the state.

“We also used to put disposable cameras on the tables. We have tons of photos through the years,” Debi said, adding they can be seen in framed collages in the hallway between the dining room and pub.

While most of the menu has remained constant, the steakhouse will soon feature a new menu involving their top customers.

“It’s in a special section identifying them and what their favorite item is,” Debi said.

While Debi and Glen remain owners, over the past seven years they’ve slowly turned the reins over to Lauren and Adam.

“At some point, they will be in charge,” Debi said.

“He loves to cook. He loves to be close to his dad. Wants to be his dad,” Lauren said.

Debi added another key to their success is their loyal customers.

“They’ve become like family to us. They come in, every day, twice a day. When they don’t show up, they have a rewards account, we call them, make sure they’re ok. Some of the staff is also like family to them,” Debi said.

She added they use to pick up their elderly customers and take them to and from the restaurant.

Ben Rice and the Portland Hustle return to home turf after West Coast tour

By LANCE MASTERSON For The Itemizer-Observer

Ben Rice and The Portland Hustle

are taking a break from their West Coast tour by performing some more. The band rolls into Monmouth July 17 to join the Music in the Park summer concert series. The concert is at 6:30 p.m., at the Main Street Park Amphitheater, Monmouth. Admission is free.

Rice, raised in Newberg, said they’re glad to be home after a lengthy road trip.

“The band has been on the road the last couple weeks and turned a whole lot of heads up and down the West Coast, playing festivals and venues from Phoenix, to San Diego to Tacoma,” Rice said. “We are glad to be home and playing around the area for the next couple of weeks.”

Playing live, he added, offers confirmation that all the non-glamourous work that comes during the quiet hours is worth the time and effort.

“The band and I spend a lot of time working on our craft and honing our skills, and sometimes we can get caught in the weeds on details and things that only seem important to us. Maybe a lick, a phrase, a lyric. How do I play this passage? How do I sing this syllable to sound more natural?” Rice stated. “All of these things can feel tedious and pointless.

But the exhilaration of a great show is a great answer to why we are so intently focused on this.”

Rice toured with one of the biggest bands in rock history. Lesson learned from this union was that attention to tedious never wanes, even when on the road, especially with rock legends.

“The band and I got to tour with ZZ Top a couple of summers back and one of my takeaways was the care and attention that the band and crew had each and every show,” Rice said. “The music was outstanding. But each night there were small tweaks and adjustments they’d make which wasn’t obvious to the crowd, which was different each night. But I was able to catch all the really small things that would change throughout the tour. Lighting, sound, between song banter, etcetera.”

Rice loves performing live. It’s been a part of his life since middle school, when he began playing with his family. Successful performances depend on mastering the process, he said.

“Having the music down is the first step. Once you’re able to get beyond learning the song and be able to express yourself through the song, you can begin focusing on the elements of executing it,” Rice added.

Execution isn’t a problem with Ben Rice and The PDX Hustle, as

their show promises to be one of the high energy events of the summer.

Since last year’s show, former percussionist Chandler Bowerman died unexpectedly. Bowerman, a native of Des Moines, Iowa, was well known in the music scene there, and made his presence known not long after arriving in Portland.

“Chandler had become one of the go-to guys in the Portland area and a large pillar in The PDX Hustle’s sound, feel and in driving the band,” Rice said. “He is sorely missed by all of us.”

Adam Carlson takes over for Bowerman, while the rest of The Hustle remains intact, including Melanie Owen (bass), John Dover (trumpet), Pete Peterson (tenor sax) and Pat MacDougall (keyboard/ vocals).

The Portland Hustle evolved from the Ben Rice Trio following the pandemic. More singers and instrumentalists allow for a “huge sound,” Rice’s bio stated, while also providing him a chance to reshape his musical destiny.

“I want to sing like Sam Cooke or Al Green, and play guitar like Duane Allman and B.B. King. I want to tell a story like John Pride and make you dance like James Brown. At the core I’m a blues musician,” he stated last year. “(But) I gave up trying to be one thing or another and just commit to playing the music I

write without trying to put it into the genre box.” Rice debuted at the International Blues Challenge in 2014, and now performs locally, nationally and internationally.

PUBLIC NOTICES

advised that pursuant to the terms stated on the Deed of Trust and Note, the beneficiary is allowed to conduct property inspections while there is a default. This shall serve as notice that the beneficiary shall be conducting property inspections on the referenced property. Without limiting the trustee’s disclaimer of representations or warranties, Oregon law requires the trustee to state in this notice that some residential property sold at a trustee’s sale may have been used in manufacturing methamphetamines, the chemical components of which are known to be toxic. Prospective purchasers of residential property should be aware of this potential danger before deciding to place a bid for this property at the trustee’s sale. NOTICE TO RESIDENTIAL TENANTS

The property in which you are living is in foreclosure. A foreclosure sale is scheduled for 10/22/2024 (date). The date of this sale may be postponed. Unless the lender that is foreclosing on this property is paid before the sale date, the foreclosure will go through and someone new will own this property. After the sale, the new owner is required to provide you with contact information and notice that the sale took place. The following information applies to you only if you are a bona fide tenant occupying and renting this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The information does not apply to you if you own this property or if you are not a bona fide residential tenant. If the foreclosure sale goes through, the new owner will have the right to require you to move out. Before the new owner can require you to move, the new owner must provide you with written notice that specifies the date by which you must move out. If you do not leave before the move-out date, the new owner can have the sheriff remove you from the property after a court hearing. You will receive notice of the court hearing. PROTECTION FROM EVICTION IF YOU ARE A BONA FIDE TENANT OCCUPYING AND RENTING THIS PROPERTY AS A RESIDENTIAL DWELLING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE LIVING IN THIS PROPERTY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE FOR: • 60 DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU ARE GIVEN A WRITTEN TERMINATION NOTICE, IF YOU HAVE A FIXED TERM LEASE; OR • AT LEAST 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU ARE GIVEN A WRITTEN TERMINATION NOTICE, IF YOU HAVE A MONTH-TOMONTH OR WEEK-TO-WEEK RENTAL AGREEMENT.If the new owner wants to move in and use this property as a primary residence, the new owner can give you written notice and require you to move out after 30 days, even though you have a fixed term lease with more than 30 days left. You must be provided with at least 30 days’ written notice after the foreclosure sale before you can be required to move. A bona fide tenant is a residential tenant who is not the borrower (property owner) or a child, spouse or parent of the borrower, and whose rental agreement: • Is the result of an arm’s-length transaction; • Requires the payment of rent that is not substantially less than fair market rent for the property, unless the rent is reduced or subsidized due to a federal, state or local subsidy; and • Was entered into prior to the date of the foreclosure sale. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY BETWEEN NOW AND THE FORECLOSURE SALE: RENT YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY RENT TO YOUR LANDLORD UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS SOLD OR UNTIL A COURT TELLS YOU OTHERWISE. IF YOU DO NOT PAY RENT, YOU CAN BE EVICTED. BE SURE TO KEEP PROOF OF ANY PAYMENTS YOU MAKE. SECURITY DEPOSIT You may apply your security deposit and

any rent you paid in advance against the current rent you owe your landlord as provided in ORS 90.367. To do this, you must notify your landlord in writing that you want to subtract the amount of your security deposit or prepaid rent from your rent payment. You may do this only for the rent you owe your current landlord. If you do this, you must do so before the foreclosure sale. The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any deposit or prepaid rent you paid to your landlord. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE The new owner that buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out after 30 or 60 days. After the sale, you should receive a written notice informing you that the sale took place and giving you the new owner’s name and contact information. You should contact the new owner if you would like to stay. If the new owner accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you must move out, the new owner becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property. Otherwise: • You do not owe rent; • The new owner is not your landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on your behalf; and • You must move out by the date the new owner specifies in a notice to you. The new owner may offer to pay your moving expenses and any other costs or amounts you and the new owner agree on in exchange for your agreement to leave the premises in less than 30 or 60 days. You should speak with a lawyer to fully understand your rights before making any decisions regarding your tenancy. IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO TRY TO FORCE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR DWELLING UNIT WITHOUT FIRST GIVING YOU WRITTEN NOTICE AND GOING TO COURT TO EVICT YOU. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS, YOU SHOULD CONSULT A LAWYER. If you believe you need legal assistance, contact the Oregon State Bar and ask for the lawyer referral service. Contact information for the Oregon State Bar is included with this notice. If you do not have enough money to pay a lawyer and are otherwise eligible, you may be able to receive legal assistance for free.

NOTE: This legal description was created prior to January 1, 2008. APN: 312925 Commonly known as: 1343 6th St. NW, Salem, OR 97304

The undersigned hereby certifies that based upon business records there are no known written assignments of the trust deed by the trustee or by the beneficiary and no appointments of a successor trustee have been made, except as recorded in the records of the county or counties in which the above described real property is situated. Further, no action has been instituted to recover the debt, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by the trust deed, or, if such action has been instituted, such action has been dismissed except as permitted by ORS 86.752(7).

Both the beneficiary and the trustee have elected to sell the said real property to satisfy the obligations secured by said trust deed and notice has been recorded pursuant to Section 86.752(3) of Oregon Revised Statutes. There is a default by grantor or other person owing an obligation, performance of which is secured by the trust deed, or by the successor in interest, with respect to provisions therein which authorize sale in the event of such provision. The default for which foreclosure is made is grantor’s failure to pay when due the following sum:

TOTAL REQUIRED TO REINSTATE: $17,086.90

TOTAL REQUIRED TO PAYOFF: $327,242.26

Because of interest, late charges, and other charges that may vary from day-today, the amount due on the day you pay may be greater. It will be necessary for you to contact the Trustee before the time you tender reinstatement or the payoff amount so that you may be advised of the exact amount you will be required to pay. By reason of the default, the beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by the trust deed immediately due and payable, those sums being the following, to- wit: 1. The installments of principal and interest which became due on November 1, 2023, and all subsequent installments of principal and interest through the date of this Notice, plus amounts that are due for late charges, delinquent property taxes, insurance premiums, advances made on senior liens, taxes and/or insurance, trustee’s fees, and any attorney fees and court costs arising from or associated with the beneficiaries efforts to protect and preserve its security, all of which must be paid as a condition of reinstatement, including all sums that shall accrue through reinstatement or pay-off. Nothing in this notice shall be construed as a waiver of any fees owing to the Beneficiary under the Deed of Trust pursuant to the terms of the loan documents. Whereof, notice hereby is given that Affinia Default Services, LLC, the undersigned trustee will on September 30, 2024 at the hour of 01:00 PM (PST), as established by section 187.110, Oregon Revised Statues, Inside the new lobby at the Jefferson Street entrance of the Polk County Courthouse, 850 Main St, Dallas, OR 97338, County of Polk, State of Oregon, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in the said described real property which the grantor had or had power to convey at the time of the execution by him of the said trust deed, together with any interest which the grantor or his successors in interest acquired after the execution of said trust deed, to satisfy the foregoing obligations thereby secured and the costs and expenses of sale, including a reasonable charge by the trustee. Notice is further given that any person named in Section 86.778 of Oregon Revised Statutes has the right to have the foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the trust deed reinstated by payment to the beneficiary of the entire amount then due (other than such portion of said principal as would not then be due had

no default occurred), together with the costs, trustee’s and attorney’s fees and curing any other default complained of in the Notice of Default by tendering the performance required under the obligation or trust deed, at any time prior to five days before the date last set for sale.
