Planners approve downtown brewpub The Reedsport Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit to allow for another brewpub in downtown.

The commission held a public hearing June 23, which included a staff report.

“On June 2, 2014, Levi Allen and Trevor Frazier, of the Defeat River Brewery, LLC, submitted an application for a conditional use permit, to authorize a brewer in a commercial zone at 473 Fir Avenue,” city planning assistant Jessica Terra reported. “The proposed use is for the manufacturing and compounding of beer.”

The pair also plan retail sales of their product and a brewpub where

customers can sit and socialize.

“The regulations of the commercial zone allow for light manufacturing, in conjunction with retail sales as a conditional use,” Terra reported.

She recommended the commission approve the permit as long as the owners obtain a city building permit, get permission from the state fire marshal, allow for at least 25 percent of the floor area to be for retail sales, consult with building and electrical inspectors and follow Oregon Liquor Control Commission guidelines for signage and outside seating.

“Approval of the brewery would be consistent with the standards of

the C-2 commercial zone,” Terra said.

Allen said they plan no outside seating.

“There isn’t too much area to do something like that,” he said.

He outlined the floor plan for the commission.

“When you walk in that’s where the retail sales are going to take place,” he explained. “There’s going to be public seating in there.

When you walk in, you’re going to look directly into the bar, which is going to be in front of a walk-in cooler, where a lot of cold storage is going to be. That’s where the kegs are going to be.”

Allen said they’ll also have a

small “brew house” with two stainless steel containers where they will brew their beer.

He said the pub will be similar to other businesses.

“We want an intimate setting similar to, like, a coffee shop or something,” he told the commission. “We aren’t looking for a sports bar ... we want it to be a place where you can go and you can just kind of, what we say, ‘take a mini vacation.’ Pretty laid back place where you can enjoy a complex beer and, maybe, visit with some friends.”

The decor, he said, will be modern rustic.

“Neutral colors,” he said.

Levee meeting July 24 The city of Reedsport will hold a town hall from 7-9 p.m. July 24 to talk about levee certification.

The date was set during the City Council’s meeting Monday.

“To discuss the regulations and requirements for levee certification, we have invited an expert panel from all over the state to attend … so you’ll be hearing the information from the experts that are actually providing that information to the city,” City Manager Jonathan Wright told the council Monday night.

Among the agencies invited to attend are a levee expert from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, representatives from the offices of U.S. Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley and a representative of the U.S. Forest Service.

Wright said the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was invited to send a representative, but he hadn’t yet heard from the agency.

“We’ve also invited people that have either gone through the levee certification process or are currently undergoing the process, so we can also get their perspective as well,” he said.

Wright said he has asked the city manager from MiltonFreewater and a representative of the Multnomah County Levee District to attend. Both are involved with levee certification.

The council also heard the overnight camping at Rainbow Plaza in downtown Reedsport has begun.

The space can take up to five campers right now, with more coming next year. The camping is designed for people who utilize the city’s boat launch facilities on the Reedsport waterfront.

The council also agreed to continue a moratorium on systems development charges on new construction. That moratorium began three years ago.

The highway was restricted to one lane for the duration of the scene investigation and victim recovery which lasted about five hours.

A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter and boat joined the Lakeside Fire Department dive team and a second boat from OSP's Fish & Wildlife Division to search for other victims, but emergency personnel determined Richards was the vehicle’s only occupant.

An SUV went off state Highway 38 into the Umpqua River last week. One person died in the accident. It’s still under investigation to determine, if possible, the reason the vehicle went into the river.

Even though he looks at teeth almost every day, a local dentist volunteers his time for a free dental clinic, sponsored by the Reedsport Club and the Rotary Reedsport/Winchester Bay Chamber of Commerce.

The last free clinic was held June 20 and 21.

The clinics are held at the office of Dr. Gary Goorhuis on Frontage Road, Reedsport.

Dr. Goorhuis has been a dentist in Reedsport for 32 years and has been doing the free clinics for 10.

Umpqua branch to stay open

Solo crash on state Highway 38 kills driver REEDSPORT — State police say one person was confirmed dead after a sport utility vehicle plunged into the Umpqua River near Reedsport Wednesday afternoon, July 2.

According to Oregon State Police, the 1991 Ford Explorer traveled off the road and into the water about 3:49 p.m. near milepost 6 on Highway 38, just east of the Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area.

Douglas County sheriff's deputies and Oregon Department of Transportation employees working nearby found the

The pub will also serve simple food; such as paninis, hot soup and chips.

He said there will be seating for about 30 people.

Frazier used some beer terms while talking about the floor plan.

LOCAL A YARN BOMB IN REEDSPORT

Reedsport man killed in dirt bike accident A 21-year-old Reedsport man was reportedly killed in a dirt bike accident near Loon Lake on July 4.

A news release from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office says deputies responded to a dirt bike accident near milepost 2 on Camp Creek Road near Loon Lake.

Chad Davenport was camping with friends. The release said he left the camp on a friend’s Yamaha dirt bike to go for a quick ride. When Davenport didn’t return, his friends went looking for him. They found Davenport a short distance away, deceased.

According to the release, Davenport failed to negotiate a corner and was launched off the road and onto some boulders near the creek.

He was not wearing a helmet.

Lt. Steve Mitchell has taken over command of the local area command station for the Oregon State Police, replacing Lt. Steve Smartt who transferred to the area command station in LaGrande.

Mitchell’s first official day as commander was Tuesday.

Mitchell takes helm at area OSP

BY THOMAS MORIARTY The Umpqua Post

COOS BAY — A changing of the guard is taking place at the Oregon State Police Coos Bay Area Command.

As of Tuesday, July 1, Lt. Steve Mitchell, 40, replaced Lt. Steve Smartt as head of the regional command.

Smartt, an Elkton native who took over as commander in 2003, will now lead the agency’s LaGrande Area Command.

Mitchell most recently commanded the agency’s office at Oregon State University. Before that, he spent time with the OSP Office of Professional Standards and in patrol positions in Klamath Falls, Roseburg and Central Point.

Mitchell said the agency’s highway safety mission is critical, especially in light of a crash near Bandon on

Monday afternoon that killed two people.

“It’s our big priority,” he said.

The Coos Bay Area Command, based out of offices on Airport Lane in North Bend, oversees patrol duties for more than 342 miles of highway between Elkton and the California border.

The command’s 21 sworn officers and two nonsworn employees are based out of the agency’s North Bend office and a worksite in Gold Beach.

Fish and wildlife troopers under the command enforce hunting and fishing laws, and a detective handles major investigations and serves on the Coos County Major Crimes Team.

Another trooper is assigned to the South Coast Interagency Narcotics Team.

OPINION

Who writes these headlines?

Care to talk?

BY JAMIE SWAFFORD

I’m not naive. I didn’t just fall off the turnip truck. I’m not new to the rodeo.

I have, reluctantly, come to the conclusion that attack ads and negative ads are part of politics.

But, to tell you the truth, I’m sick of it.

I’ll use the current campaign between U.S. Senate candidates Jeff Merkley and Dr. Monica Wehby. Merkley, of course, is the first-term incumbent. Wehby is a pediatric neurosurgeon.

I have gotten dozens of emails, mainly from the Merkley campaign, that I consider negative. They don’t tout Merkley’s record and explain what his positions are on certain issues ... they simply are negative toward Wehby.

Wehby, of course, has been pretty silent since the May 20 primary, after Democrats found out about, and released information on alleged stalking complaints by her exhusband and a boyfriend ... complaints that the principals say should never have happened. She also changed her cam-

Merkley’s campaign: “Wehby Spends Another Week Blowing Off Oregon Voters & Press To Hobnob With Republican Senators In D.C. & New Orleans,” “TONIGHT AT 6PM In Oregon City: Wehby To (Maybe) End Three-Week Silence, Finally (Maybe) Answer Questions From the Press,” “New Poll: Merkley with ‘crushing’ lead, up almost 20 and leading among women by 21,” “BACKGROUNDER: Monica Wehby Has Refused to Take a Position on Ending LGBT Workplace Discrimination,” “ICYMI: ‘Monica Wehby’s overhyped disaster: Why the Republican’s falling flat in Oregon,’” “TOTAL DISARRAY: Wehby ‘shakes up’ staff, replaces cam-

paign manager,” “PHOTO RELEASE: Did Monica Wehby Win NRSC’s ‘Grab A Bite With Mitt’ Contest,” and “Monica Wehby Spends Another Week On Defense, Refusing To Answer Questions About WehbyRomney Tax Plan Or Release Her Personal Financial Disclosure.”

That’s just a few of the more than 50 email headlines I’ve received in the last month.

Wow. Now, you may say “Steve, those sound like perfectly legitimate campaign emails.”

I would rather hear about what they think and plan for the office. rather than hear they believe the other candidate doesn’t think or plan.

To their credit, the Merkley campaign has also sent out emails regarding appropriations

bills, e-cigarettes, student loans, Veterans Health Administration hospitals, the Federal Reserve, the shooting at Reynolds High School, oil trains, a job training bill and the recent Supreme Court decision regarding Hobby Lobby and contraception.

Those are the emails I want to read as a voter.

The only emails I received from the Wehby campaign during that same time period, in the midst of the staff change, were titled “MEDIA ADVISORY: Grassroots Gathering,” “Dr. Monica Wehby to celebrate America’s 238th birthday,” “Monica Wehby to host veterans roundtable” and “Monica Wehby releases new web ad ‘Drive.’”

I , for one, demand better campaigns. This isn’t the race for junior high class president. This the race for the U.S. Senate.

Give me a reason to vote for you ... don’t give me a reason not to vote for the other candidate.

And, who writes those headlines?

I know. I know. It’s only politics.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Remembering Carl Bowers We would like to thank some people for the weekend that our friend, and father figure, Carl Bowers, passed away. Carl spent his last evening at the chainsaw carving festival eating a great meal, socializing and spending time with his “family.” He passed away peaceful watching the auction.

Thank you so much to the city of Reedsport, including Jonathan Wright, the police, EMTs, and all the first responders. Also, to the chairmen of the event, Bob Del Re and Frank Barth for the respectful way they paused the auction before moving on with a moment of silence for “Grandpa Carl.”

Many people do not know the life Carl led before moving to Reedsport. After his wife died of tuberculosis, he raised his three daughters, 5, 7 and 9, as a single dad. He started a school in Pakistan so his girls would have a good education.

Being a Catholic minority in Pakistan, he was a wanted criminal for not being of Muslim faith.

Moving to Reedsport in 1995, he didn’t become involved with the foster grandparent program at Highland Elementary school until 2006. He was so dedicated and loved to work in the first grade until he passed away. The students were Carl’s life. He made wonderful relationships and mentored over 500 students between school and summer camps with Great Afternoons. Carl assisted in the class and always was

there to help with the students and kept the classroom organized.

Carl was very supportive of his community, school and America. He was very grateful for the freedom we have in our country, and supported our nation and troops. Carl was a quiet man, but had so much to offer when engaged in conversation. He lived a full 85 years and filled all of our hearts with love. We were very grateful to know and love him.

Thank you to St. John the Apostle Catholic Church, Harmony House, Lower Umpqua Hospital, Dr. Robbie Law, the Foster Grandparent Program, Highland Elementary School, and many others that helped in Carl’s life.

Laura Brandon, Jennifer Nelson and the family of Carl Bowers

Ives letter missed a few points A few words regarding Pastor Jim Ives’ letter to the editor posted on June 25, 2014, in The Umpqua Post, titled “Religious symbols covered in VA sites”: While I read your letter with interest and a certain degree of sympathy, I do have three points of minor contention with your argument. First, I am not aware of any such executive order by our current president (mandating the covering of all religious symbols in our public schools). However, if our public institutions are willing to comply with Mr. Obama’s request (sic) and do not speak out against it or refuse, then I guess the result is similar. Similar, but

not the same. One can choose to march over a cliff in response to a request or do so in response to a lawful order; they are not the same.

The former is a much more despicable and cowardly act than the latter and much more to be loathed.

Second, in your fourth paragraph you begin with the sentence “We now have judges making decisions that affect our society.”

Now, this is nothing new nor even unique to the current administration. Judges have been making decisions affecting our society since John Marshall was appointed as our nation’s first chief justice of the Supreme Court. What I believe you meant to say was that judges, supreme, appellate or circuit, are now interpreting our laws in ways that counter or even do violence to the original intent of those laws. On this point I will heartily agree. The common euphemism for this type of action is “legislating from the bench.” Such actions are increasing and as such underscore the importance of the selection of those judges by our executives with the approval, tacit or otherwise, of the legislative branch. This is precisely why voting for our members of Congress is so vitally important. Don’t like the judges the president selects and the legislative branch confirms? Then change one, the other, or both.

Finally, you conclude your letter with these words: “We need to speak out and bring moral values back to our society.” This implies (to me, anyway) that we, the people, can do such a thing.

I know of no way this can be done by people like you and I, however willing and sincere we may be. I do agree that we need to speak out more often (and perhaps more vociferously) that we must engage in dialog and debate with countervailing interests and we must certainly participate in the political arena in however a fashion our talents or inclinations lead us. If that means voting for better, more moral, candidates, fine. But how does one determine the moral fiber of an individual’s soul? It seems to me only God can do that. We would be best advised to leave that to Him. Pete Stingley Ash Valley

Taking issue with Pastor Jim Ives I am disappointed with Pastor Jim Ives’ letter to the

editor June 25, 2014.

I would hope that our Christian leaders would be messengers of peace and love in the manner of Jesus.

Pastor Ives is irate over an issue that is a nonissue ... that of the Veteran’s Affairs chapels being told to be discreet with religious symbols.

I am Christian, but I expect our public facilities to be nondenominational. In fact, I want our government to be secular. I go to church for spiritual satisfaction, not to government facilities.

Moreover, what if one of us Christians were to walk into a public chapel in a hospital or VA facility and were confronted with a Torah and Menorah? Or discover that the chapel is Muslim? Or any other faith? Isn’t it better to have a nondenominational facility where anyone can pray or seek sanctuary in peace and in harmony with others using the same chapel?

In conclusion I feel that his last paragraph, where he speaks of government, “we the people,” speaking out and moral values, is divisive.

A minister of our Lord Jesus Christ should be bringing people together with the love of the Lord … not to reproach, and fomenting dissatisfaction.

Especially when there may not be a problem in the first place.

The sky is not falling in Gardiner Gardiner is small, so small sometimes people have to wear more than one hat. Our Chicken Little strapped on a second tin foil hat to act as the standard bearer for a recent recall of the sewer board. The story line is about the same except for two parts, the First Chicken Little had not had his accusations rejected by the state ethics committee.

Our Chicken Little retold documented lies to the recall voters. Our Chicken Little will get to deal with the Oregon Revised Statues that address election fraud.

To the voters who believed such awful things about their neighbors you have your own personal journey.

Thanks to Chicken Little the fabric of Gardiner is torn. It can heal, but only with truth and effort.

The sky is only falling on Chicken Little and those that stand with him.

Lower Umpqua Hospital

Lower Umpqua Hospital District sponsors “Care to Talk About” presentations every other month to give members of the community an opportunity to learn about services available locally. It’s an informal meeting where patients may speak to doctors, surgeons, department managers, and other THE CHANGING medical FACE care personnel — totally free, no appointment necessary, just OF HEALTH show up CARE for the sessions!

Oregon Cardiology presented “Know Your Numbers” in February, giving attendees an opportunity to be tested for several health markers at no cost. The standing-room only crowd kept the presenters busy answering questions for a couple of hours.

Dr. Philip Keizer presented “Breast Health” in April, with discussion ranging from when and how often to get a mammogram, to how does family history affect breast cancer occurrence and outcomes?

June brought Dr. Richard Jany who discussed knee problems and possible treatments, ranging from medication, physical therapy, injections and knee replacement surgery — all available right here in Reedsport.

Dr. Janet Patin, Dunes Family Health Care, will present the next Care to Talk About from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 15. Dr. Patin will recap the changes in health care since the passage of the Affordable Care Act (popularly known as “Obamacare”), and the way we are changing health care in Reedsport to better meet your needs.

From 5:30-6:30 p.m.

Thursday, Aug. 28, Dr. Christopher Amsden will discuss the available nonsurgical approaches to spine pain management.

Kristin Edmond, manager of the physical/occupational therapy department will present from 5-6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 28.

Care to Talk About presentations are in the main conference room, which is located on the lower level of the hospital near the dining room. Wes Morris and his nutritional service staff provide light refreshments for all to enjoy during the presentation.

Patient portal

BY JENNIFER ALDRICH AND SHERI AASEN Lower Umpqua Hospital

Reedsport Medical Clinic, the walk-in clinic and Lower Umpqua Hospital patients will soon be able to be involved in their healthcare in a new way; the patient portal.

Part of Lower Umpqua Hospital’s recent electronic health record upgrade is the addition of the patient portal. Once registered, patients will be able to view components of their medical record online. Lab results from Reedsport Medical and Walk-in Clinic visits and summaries from hospitalizations will be the first additions to the patient’s online chart. Information and services offered through the portal will expand with time.

Information is securely stored online by Intelichart, a company that is contracted through the hospital’s electronic health record vendor, Healthland. In order to access the patient portal, each patient will need to provide a unique email address. Email addresses may not be shared by multiple patients. The registration process is quick and easy. The portal will only be available for patients over 18 years of age at this time. We promise that we will not use your email address for any purpose except registration and access to the patient portal.

Staff at the hospital, Reedsport Medical and the Walk-in Clinic will be happy to assist you with accessing your patient portal. You may still request copies of your records at Reedsport Medical Clinic or Lower Umpqua Hospital if computer access is an issue, or you need more information than is offered in the portal.

Dunes Family Health Care’s electronic health record, Epic, also has a secure patient messaging portal, called MyChart.

Through MyChart patients are able to securely access appointments, their health summary, medications, current health issues, immunizations, medical history, test results, request refills and more.

Dr. Patin has begun the process of giving access to MyChart to her patients and soon the other providers at Dunes Family will also.

Providing patients access to their medical records online is just one more facet in the changing face of health care.

Hospital continues ‘Care to talk about’ series “It” is a timely topic if you are running a machine commonly known as the human body. The Lower Umpqua Hospital “Care to talk about” series addresses issues of interest to those who want to keep those machines in tip top condition.

The upcoming presentation by Dr. Janet Patin on July 15 will be all about the changes “Obamacare” has brought to American healthcare and what it means to our medical community, and ultimately to you.

Basically, she will break it down in understandable terms and talk about how the local medical facilities are changing to bring the best service to us. Maybe you’ve been wondering about the recent changes at the hospital, the clinic and Reedsport Medical Clinic? This is the perfect time to ask questions. And Dr. Patin is the one with the answers — her current job titles include “medical director of the Dunes Family Health Care Patient-Centered Primary Care Home” and also “chief of staff of Lower Umpqua Hospital.”

The presentation is informal and delicious, light refreshments are served. It takes place between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. in the main conference room. Enter through the lower level by the cafeteria.

A little learning with your lunch So you think the Umpqua Soil and Water Conservation District is made up of sticks in the mud? Well, you’re wrong about that.

Rhonda Black is anything but — and you’ll learn that too July 19 if you’re on the bus. The fifth annual Wine and Agriculture Tour is a day full of fun and you’ll learn some things that are really quite fascinating along the way.

The bus will be visiting some locations in Elkton that will include Ray and Judy Shepherd’s ranch. Their son Dan will be the tour guide of the beautiful property and he’ll tell about the conservation efforts they’ve made such as spring developments, livestock watering facilities and the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program Project. It’s really interesting to see how they’ve altered some practices to be better stewards of the

soil and hear how it’s working out.

Lunch will be at the Big K Guest Ranch.

If you’ve never been there, you’ve been missing a lot. What a WHAT’S UP? gorgeous place! And it has a great story, which you’ll hear while nibbling on gourmet treats. The family-owned ranch was a dream that came true for the Kestersons and now the siblings run the place that offers cabins and camping, fishing guide service and horses, banquets, and parties…

Nancie H a m m o n d all on a plot of paradise.

After lunch, the bus heads for River’s Edge Winery for some tasting. What a terrific way to spend the day! The whole thing is only $25. Reserve your seat now — the deadline is July 14 and it’s bound to be a sell-out. Do it now by contacting Rhonda at 541-662-1341, 541-271-1647 or by email at rhonda@umpquasoilandwater.com.

Read all about it Anything and everything — books are THE thing. It’s time for the Lower Umpqua Hospital Book Fair from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

July 14 and from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 15. The fair really does have a little bit of everything, with some great selections for gift-giving.

Lots of kids’ books, cookbooks and coffee table type publications. The prices are far less than retail at as much as 70 percent off.

Start loading in the Christmas goods. And speaking of Christmas — the proceeds from the book fair go to the Christmas in July fund, so every dollar you spend is used to help repair or refurbish the homes of elderly, low income and disabled folks in our community. So go ahead and load up!

For the 4 ⁄2 month duration of the appointment, county government will be best served by an individual who has experience in administration and finance in the private and/or public sectors. These skills will return some value to taxpayers and will help ensure an orderly transition for the county. Following is the process we will use to make the interim appointment, as stated in a press release we sent out on July 3 : “The Douglas County Board of Commissioners is accepting applications from those seeking to fill the interim appointment to County Commissioner Position 3. Due to the resignation of Commissioner Doug Robertson, the position will be vacant from

Aug. 1, 2014 until Jan. 4, 2015.

“The application form for the interim appointment is available online on the Douglas County website at www.co.douglas.or.us, or at the commissioners’ office.

In addition to the application, citizens are welcome to submit a cover letter and resume.

“Applications can be mailed or hand delivered to Douglas County Board of Commissioners, Courthouse Room 217, 1036 SE Douglas Ave., Roseburg, OR 97470, or emailed to tina@co.douglas.or.us, and must be received by the commissioners’ office by 5 p.m. July 21.”

The applications will be reviewed by a citizen panel to be appointed by the board of commissioners. The citizen panel will make recommendations to the county

commissioners, who will then deliberate to a decision on the interim appointment.

The appointment will be made at the regular business meeting on Aug. 13.

The Board has agreed not to appoint individuals to the interim term who are interested in running for the unexpired term.

Final filing date for the unexpired term is Aug. 26, 2014. The unexpired term will be filled at the Nov. 4, 2014 election. The candidate receiving the most votes in the November election will take office on Jan. 5, 2015 and serve until Jan. 1, 2017.

Susan always welcome your questions or comments.

you’ve been lazy about getting a camping reservation you should snap out of it right now. The sites are filling up fast. Call the chamber office now and Amy will set you up — 541-271-3495.

Volunteers are still needed for ticket sales and other jobs. I hear there may not be an orientation pizza dinner meeting this year, but instead you’ll receive your swag when you show up for your shift. I’m still a little bit burned up by the people who signed up to work with fake names and phone numbers just to get a free T-shirt and event pass. Who does that? Well, the nice people who ruined the dinner… if you know one, be sure to give them a special ‘thank you’ for ruining a little part of the fun.

Actually, the volunteers are made up of 99 percent fabulous workers who donate their time for all the right reasons, and the creeps who got the free shirts but left the real workers without relief at the end of a shift have been weeded out. So anyone inside the booth this year is a good guy!

Want to be one of them? Give Debbie McKinney a quick email and tell her you want to help. She’ll know just what to do — she’s been doing that big job for more than a decade. dmckinney@fullhartinsurance.com Volunteers are the backbone of the DuneFest crew and without them the chamber could never put on such a huge labor-intensive event. I know when you’re out there and seeing all the booths and the people paying to get in it looks like a lot of money is being made but that’s not really the case. It costs well over $300,000 to make the event happen each year. It’s crazyexpensive to rent those bulldozers, the tents, the racing company, and the security company is a huge chunk of change. So it’s basically a money mill — it comes in and goes out and that’s okay because what the festival really does is leave a trail of money all over Reedsport and Winchester Bay in the shops, restaurants, stores and gas stations. That’s the chamber’s job - to bring tourists here to stay in our motels, eat in our restaurants and spend, spend, spend. That’s exactly what the DuneFest attendees do year after year. Just take a look around town starting on July 30 and you’ll see the park-

ing lots full and the money practically whirling around in the air! And don’t forget about the charity auction. Last year Polaris gave us a free Razor to auction and we ended up giving out over $40,000 in cash to charity organizations all over town.

That was the most fun I’ve ever had as a chamber board member, and I loved being the President for that huge give-away! I hope this year will have a similar surprise that benefits everyone from the Food Pantry to the swimming pool.

Even if you’re not a dune rider, you can take the shuttle bus out to Vendor’s Row for a look around and a snack. The booths are full of T-shirts and gear, and there are a lot of food booths that have treats worth riding the bus for. It’s fun to go out there and do some people-watching from the picnic tables.

Oops!

I made a little mistake when I told you about “The Store.” It’s the new retail establishment with a little bit of everything fun and fabulous, recently opened up by Viki Anderson. All of that is true, but the location isn’t in downtown Reedsport. Not sure where I got that idea, but it’s actually uptown next to 7-11. Pay no attention to the sign out front that says “Linda’s Crafts” because they are long gone in every way but the sign they left behind.

So, let’s get this straight. It used to be Linda’s Crafts. The sign is still there but that business is gone. Now it’s The Store.

That’s the real name: The Store. It’s the space next to 7-11 that also used to be the Outdoor Store in that block.

The Store is stocked with everything you need, no matter who you are. Look for jewelry and collectibles, and some fancy purses including Coach and other high quality manufacturers. Viki has a flair for the fab, so the place is full of treasures. Get in there and have a look around!

I’ve spotted a couple of other new places that have sprouted up and I’ll tell you all about them next week. If you have info about a new place or service, please send me an email to tell me all about it and I’ll pass it on. nanciehammond@charter.net.

there are two vessels that are being used for brewing.

They take up a majority of the space back there.”

He explained there is also a small area for a three-tier preparation sink and space for a panini press and soup warmer.

The commission approved the permit and hoped the brew pub would be open soon.

A portion of the new business was crowd funded

through Indiegogo.

“We didn’t get as much money as we wanted to,” he told Commissioner Deborah Yates, “But we got just over 20 grand. We accepted funds outside of the online campaign because there are some people out there who aren’t real comfortable with the Internet.”

Allen said they’ve been brewing beer for six or seven years. He said the pub will open with three to five specialty beers.

Allen said they don’t

have a set open date.

“Our hope date was three weeks ago,” he laughed. “It was Halloween and then it’s probably spring of next year.

We’re completely refurbishing our business plan. It’s really exciting. We’re getting more and more professional and really strong, which is what we’re going to need to take the next step.

When it opens the brewpub operate 4 to 8 p.m. weekdays and 4 to 10 p.m.

Friday and Saturday night.

Dentist Dr. Gary Goorhuis, who has an office on Frontage Road in Reedsport, recently held a free dental clinic at the Family Resource Center.

FROM PAGE 1 He has seen the clinic change over those years.

“Originally this was supposed to be for children,” he remembered. “They’d park the dental van in front of the school, children would come and go. Parents would sign a release, but it always made me nervous working on the children without the parents actually knowing what I’m doing.”

The event, which now includes adults, was moved to Dr. Goorhuis’ office.

“Gradually,” he said,“more and more adults started coming.”

Dr. Goodhuis says the clinic, which is held three or four times a year, sees about 15 patients a day.

People do have to qualify for the free clinic.

“Low income with no insurance,” Goorhuis said, ‘and don’t qualify for the Oregon Health Plan because they have a minimum amount of income. The Oregon Health

Plan will take care of that group of people. People with insurance usually have insurance because they have a job.

They can work out a payment schedule that way.”

Goorhuis says the clinic is designed for “that in-between group that doesn’t make much money, but makes too much to qualify for the Oregon Health Plan.

“They’re the ones being left out in the cold.”

The procedures are for immediate care only; no preventative care is offered.

“It needs to be able to be done that day,” Dr. Goorhuis said. “So, something like a crown, which takes a labora-

tory visit, (can’t be done).

Goorhuis said some simple root canals, fillings, stainless steel crowns, some gum surgeries and extractions can be done.

Goorhuis said he doesn’t mind doing the free work, even though it’s what he does four days a week.

He’s appreciative of staff member Bonnie Gentle, who volunteers to help him with the free clinic. He also has a third person to assist.

Goorhuis says the clinics have been sponsored by the Reedsport Rotary, but the chamber also contributed this year, which allowed for a fourth clinic.

The Yaquina was operating even as he spoke.

“I’m walking out of here with a big smile,” he said.

During the Town Hall Wyden also talked about the proposed LNG project on Coos Bay, his proposed rural job “tool kit,” recreation at the Oregon coast, his proposal to log at least portions of O&C Railroad lands to provide dollars to Oregon counties and he discussed the federal highway trust

fund, which is about to run out of money.

“We will get it done,” Wyden said of the effort to get more money for infrastructure projects. He said the country needs $8 billion through the end of the year and Congress needs to work on a permanent replacement.

He pledged to work hard on the proposal this week.

He call the drive to shore up the fund “non-negotiable.”

Wyden pledged to keep the issue on the front burner.

Banner Bank.

“Those banks will still be providing services to the LOWER UMPQUA HOSPITALPRESENTS: Coos County market,” Brown said.

The Umpqua branches in Coos County will not be affected.

Brown said the Reedsport area generates $85 million in deposits, according to numbers from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. He said Umpqua has $60 million of those.

He pointed out they’re glad to stay in Reedsport because it’s not just a bank, but a community partner.

“Absolutely,” Brown said.

“I guess you could say it’s in our DNA. Being a part of the community. Being involved more than just the banking part of it. It’s creating events and participating in events ... doing the things that we can to help communities, overall, just to make it a better place to live and work.”

Randy Thompson is the branch manager.

“Randy epitomizes what we want in a leader in our communities,” Brown acknowledged. “He is 100 percent committed to the community. He gets involved. He gets his people involved and he wants to create fun, inviting environments for our customers, as well as non-customers, to visit our store.”

According to statistics from the bank, Umpqua branches in Coos, Curry, Lower Level Entrance – by the cafeteria Lincoln, coastal Douglas and Light refreshments will be served.

Tillamook counties donated 862 hours and $20,000 in 2013 to community events through Umpqua’s “Connect LOWER UMPQUA HOSPITAL Volunteer” program. That includes 84 hours in 600 Ranch Road | Reedsport, Oregon | 541-271-2171 Reedsport.

Crabbing and fishing pick up in the Umpqua River After months of waiting, I am happy to say that Winchester Bay finally has “all of it’s oars in the water.” Ocean crabbing has been very good, but there have been a few boats that have made limit or near limit crab catches in Half Moon Bay. One guy even reported catching six legal crab from Dock A — even though it took him all day to do so.

A few Chinook salmon have entered the lower Umpqua River and a 37-pounder was caught just below Reedsport last week and a few Chinook, even larger, have been caught near the Umpqua River Bar. Ocean salmon fishing has been very good with both Chinook and finclipped cohos being caught in fair numbers.

A few anglers have been casting spinners from the bank at Half Moon Bay in the last few days without success, but have observed several salmon swim by them as they headed upriver.

means that several people suffered losses — not just the people losing the crab pots.

With the amount of money collected each year through the sale of Oregon shellfish licenses, an embarrassingly small portion is spent on any sort of enforcement regarding shellfish. In addition to the problem with stolen gear (a commercial crabber in Tillamook was recently found to be in possession of at least 150 crab pots he couldn’t show he purchased) there is a problem, when the crabbing is good, with sport crabbers — often from southwestern states, repeatedly exceeding their daily limits and then using the processed crab as barter material upon returning home.

At any rate. I’m open to ideas how crabbers can better protect themselves from having their gear taken and how to increase the chances of the offenders being caught and properly punished.
