Exciting Happenings at Albany’s

Heritage Mall

By Rick RogeRs

Excitement fills the air at Heritage Mall with the announcement that Hobby Lobby, a national craft and home decor chain, will open its first Oregon location at the Albany mall early next year. The huge 61-thousand square foot store will occupy the former Gottschalks location and the space currently occupied by Old Navy. Hobby Lobby currently has 531stores located in 44 states and is a national leader in their industry. Mall Manager Betsy Penson told High Points that Old Navy will be moving inside the mall with a new store located in a space near Target.

The Oklahoma-based Hobby Lobby announcement marks the first of several possible store and restaurant locations now in negotiation with the mall’s new owners, Vintage Real Estate. The company took over ownership of the 406,500 square foot mall at 14th and Geary Streets in Albany last December. Penson says that having Hobby Lobby as a mall retailer is especially exciting because people have been known to travel long distances to visit one of their stores in other areas. In addition, they will become a major retail employer in the area offering “family wage” job positions.

Heritage Mall is now home to 52 other retailers including three major anchor stores, Sears, Target and Ross Dress for Less. Roger Burghdorf, Executive Vice-President in charge of leasing for Vintage Real Estate says, “This is just the beginning of our program to re-tenant this great mall with national brands and unique boutiques.

Heritage Mall is proud to participate in the Points for Profit program and reminds everyone to save their receipts from retailers in the mall for their favorite participating non-profit organization.

It was nearly three years ago, the early morning of July 4, when the unthinkable happened. An arsonist set fire to American Legion, Post 10, Oregon’s largest American Legion post located on Pacific Boulevard in Albany, and burned it to the ground. Now, just a few weeks shy of that fateful day nearly three years ago, a brand new post building is ready to open its doors to the entire community for a weekend of activities, food, and fun.

The grand reopening weekend will get under way with public tours of the new building beginning at 10 AM on Friday, June 14. That will be followed by a 1 PM Opening Ceremony, the serving of snacks until 4 PM, and then a Steak or Crab Louie dinner 6 PM followed by live music. Saturday, June 15 will kick off with a Boy Scout Breakfast served by the scouts 8 through 10 AM, a hamburger and hot dog barbeque from 11 AM until 1 PM, and then a Prime Rib or Fried Prawn dinner starting at 6 PM followed by live music. Sunday, June 16, the Legion will host a Father’s Day Brunch from 10 AM until 1 PM.

Post 10 Commander Brock Bursey told High Points that the new Legion building will be family friendly, offering a wide range of activities for

the former and current military members and their families. Bursey says the Albany

post currently has about a thousand members including the Woman’s

Auxiliary group and the Sons of the Legion Group. The Woman’s Auxiliary, led by its president Tonya Kramer, has been a non-profit partner in the Points for Profit program for a number of

years. The auxiliary’s current project is distributing artificial

poppies to help raise donations for disabled veterans.

Bursey stressed that although the American Legion operates for members who

meet a certain criteria as former military members and their families, the post will be open to everyone on the weekend of the grand opening. There will

also be a recruiting booth in operation for former military and current members to check out the membership requirements and Legion benefits.

High Points salutes the American Legion, Post 10, in Albany for all of the great community work that they do and congratulates them on their new post building.

Greater Albany Council PTA was chartered in January, 2008, to work for the benefit of the entire Greater Albany Public Schools Community. With that in mind, GAC-PTA has joined in a partnership with the Linn County Road Department as a participating organization in the “Adopt-A-Road” Program. Signs are proudly displayed at both ends of the “adopted” two-mile stretch of Columbus Street S.E. just north of Highway 34 to inform drivers of this partnership. Student Desirae McDaniel and Vice-President-elect Chaundra Carter were among the Council members who recently participated in a work session on the road.

Adopt-a-Road is a relatively new program created to provide citizens and organizations of Linn County an opportunity to improve and maintain the appear-ance of their county roads. The County provides safety equipment, including hard hats, litter pickup tools, plastic bags, and road signs. Work is done during daylight hours and all participants must be at least 11 years old. Interested organizations and individuals are encouraged to contact Stephanie at the Road Depart-ment Office at 541-967-3919 to get started.

Members of the PTAs at Waverly Elementary, Cen-tral School, Oak Elementary, and Calapooia Middle School actively participate in programs sponsored by

GAC-PTA as well as community events such as Super Science Saturday and the summer free-lunch program.

GAC-PTA is excited to be part of the Points for Profit Family and the PTA family. Join them as they speak for every child with one voice. Contact [email protected] to begin your investment in the future of Albany.

Have you ever heard someone say, “Eating healthy is too expensive?” Maybe you have said this yourself. It’s easy to think this way when low-quality food is readily available on $1 “value” menus at every corner drive-thru. However, when you stop to analyze the facts, you’ll find that you have access to many delicious and healthful foods at prices that won’t break your budget.

First, let’s consider the real cost of some of the less healthy choices out there. When it comes to fast food you may be able to buy a lot for a little bit of money, but it is really more expensive than you think. All of these foods are carefully crafted to keep you coming back for more. The balance of fat, sugar, and salt has been carefully manipulated to maximize your desire for more. In other words, they are designed to get you hooked and not to fill your belly.

In fact these foods are designed to override you body’s normal mechanisms to turn off hunger once

it has consumed enough energy. After eating a 900 calorie hamburger,

shouldn’t you be full? These meals are designed to stimulate the pleasure centers of your brain, the same areas that are tickled by the use of substances such as cocaine and heroine. Your brain overrules your belly

and keeps you wanting more food (junk food) now.

The sugars in these foods will also cause a spike in blood sugar to which your body will respond with an even bigger spike in insulin, the hormone that controls and lowers blood sugar. The massive insulin response caused by junk foods makes your blood sugar to become too low leading to more hunger. Time to buy another cheap burger, right?

On the other hand, there are many nutrient-dense, healthy, and tasty foods out there that can help you avoid this cycle. Fresh, local produce is inexpensive and will satisfy your hunger for longer while giving you

Even those who are the most careful with their budgets will have to deal with the unexpected from time to time. Occasionally, financial events outside of your control, which threaten to throw your normal monthly budget completely out of whack, will arise. To be prepared for such events, you need to build up an emergency fund.

What is an emergency Fund?An emergency fund is a store of money

that you have available to help you handle unexpected and unavoidable events. Some examples include:• Losing your job• Missing work due to illness• Medical expenses• Essential home repairs• Serious car trouble

You get the idea—the key words here are “unexpected” and “unavoidable.” The above are emergencies, but a great deal on the car you’ve been eyeing is not an example of an emergency.

Using an emergency fund in these cases would be less costly than alternatives such as going into debt, dipping into a 401(k) or IRA, or selling long-term investments at the wrong time. The answer then, is to build up a pool of savings equivalent to roughly six months of expenses reserved for emergency use

only.Saving for an Emergency FundBuilding an emergency fund may

challenge a savings rate that is already struggling to set money aside for retirement or other long-term needs. However, here are three possibilities for building up the necessary savings:• Go on a temporary “emergency” budget.

Try living for a while with some extra sacrifices—these are likely to be less painful than the sacrifices you’d have to make if you ran into trouble without having an emergency fund

• Split savings between your retirement nest egg and the emergency fund. Saving for the emergency fund should be temporary, so you can resume full retirement savings once the emergency savings are built up

• Use a windfall. Using part of a bonus from work or a gift from a relative is a good way to jump-start your emergency fund

What to Do with your emergency Fund?

An emergency fund must be readily available, so a savings account is the natural solution. You might also consider a certificate of deposit (CD) because

Emergency Funds: Why & HowMay is known as Disability

Insurance Awareness month and income is the foundation of a solid financial strategy; without it, everything else could crumble. You insure your home and car, but what about your income? Your ability to work and earn an income is your most valuable asset. Individual disability income insurance is coverage you can’t afford NOT to have.

How would you replace your lost income? 1) Savings! Even if you save 10% of your salary, one year of disability could easily wipe out many years of savings. 2) Social Security! The average monthly benefit is $1,111. To qualify your disability must be expected to last at least 12 months or end in death, in addition to other requirements. You must be unable to engage in any occupation. 3) Borrow! Would a bank lend you money if you were disabled and unable to work? 4) Other income! Could you maintain your standard of living without placing additional strain on yourself and your family?

Chances of a disability may be greater than you think and disability

plays no favorites. The causes of disability may surprise you! Here’s a breakdown by percentage of claims of some typical reasons an individual may become disabled (according to Principal Life

Disability claims payments issued in 2011): Musculoskeletal systems/connective tissue 31%, Mental & Nervous/Substance Abuse 16%, Nervous System 14%, Circulatory system 10%, Injuries 9%, Cancer 7%, Infection Diseases 2% and miscellaneous 11%.

Today we often work in climate-controlled offices, shop in climate-controlled building If we go into a public building, we certainly expect to sit in comfort while there. Did you ever ask yourself where this technology came from?

In 1805, Fredric Tudor believed he could profit from selling blocks of ice to the Caribbean. Tudor had j returned from traveling with his brother to a resort in Havana. His brother was sick and doctors believed he needed a warmer climate. It was an ill-fated trip for the two young men and had a profound impact on the younger Tudor. His brother died on the return trip before seeing his family. Young Fredric Tudor, had experienced the sultry conditions of a hot humid climate, knew the south was a prime market for ice cut from New England ponds in winter. Ice was already being used commercially and in hospitals. In the Tudor home, ice was always available. Frederick wanted to make the use of ice more accessible for people in the south and he developed methods of storing the ice for long periods of time on ships and then transporting it to sales sites where it was stored in ice houses until sold. An entire economy was built around the ice business, from shipping to storage. People became dependent on the supply of ice for their drinks, food storage, and personal comfort. Tudor was also very diligent in making sure any competitors failed, thus insuring his own success. History recalls Tudor as the “Ice King.”

In the United States Dr. John Gorrie was the first to scientifically talk about a cooling machine. In 1842, Gorrie built an air-conditioning system to treat fever stricken sailors by moving air over buckets of imported ice. Ice was not without its drawbacks, it was expensive ($1/lb in Florida) summer supply was limited and it degraded quickly and created moisture. In 1848 Dr. Gorrie created a machine to make ice. It used compressed air to cool salt water and freeze fresh water into blocks. This inspired him to focus on

the ice making technology. He planned to make it available to everyone, but the media ridiculed his aspirations to create ice. When the people who had become dependent on the ice business saw this machine, they realized it was a huge threat to their way of life. Gorrie was beaten and his ice machine destroyed. Undaunted he built another one in secret and arranged for dramatic demonstration of his ice machine at a party in Florida. It was a humid July and while standing with the guests, he complained about the wine being warm, then he surprised everyone by

having champagne served on ice. Everyone was astonished when it was announced that Dr Gorrie had made the ice in his machine from Florida water. His invention was ridiculed by those in the existing ice-block industry for its flaws. The

machine leaked and often broke down. Gorrie never realized success from his ideas, but they provided the foundation for air conditioning system technology today. He is known as the “Father of Air Conditioning” because his basic designs, although modified, are still used today.

In 1902, a man named Willis Carrier, while working on a problem a printing plant had with temperature fluctuations and humidity causing paper to distort and finished prints to be ruined, came up with a method of blowing air across metal tubes filled with a chemical mixture to control the humidity and temperature of the air, cooling or heating as necessary. It was a great success and was developed first for commercial applications – chillers and walk-in freezers, then eventually became the air conditioners we are so dependent on today. Carrier was successful in his endeavors and the world was much more receptive to the concept of the technology. Carrier is known as the “Father of Modern Air Conditioning.”

Because of this technology our way of life has changed dramatically. Imagine a hospital without climate control, or a restaurant without refrigeration, or living in Phoenix, Los Angeles or Orlando without air conditioning.

You can always paint walls fresh lichen green or spray hyacinth-scented room freshener, but the easiest way to capture the spirit of spring is to buy and arrange flowers. With cut flowers and a little imagination, the possibilities can be beautiful. • Place a small

bouquet in a glistening crystal pitcher or go for contrast with a brightly colored coffee can to make a great first impression in an entrance hall or foyer.

• Fill an umbrella stand with a few long dramatic stems.

• Attach a basket of fresh flowers to your door or hang just a few stems with a beautiful bow.

• In the family room, fill an empty fireplace with a big bucket of flowers.

• In the bathroom, a simple plastic tumbler filled with fragrant cut flowers can make a great air freshener.

• In the laundry room, rinse out an old bleach or detergent bottle, fill it with cut flowers, and place it on the washer or a shelf for a laundry brightener.

• Use a kitchen windowsill to line up individual jars, coffee mugs, or juice glasses and put one or two colorful stems in each. It’s a one-of-a-kind

window treatment.• Flowers are not just for special

occasions anymore. They decorate a lot more than just the center of the dining room table.

• Think “outside the vase” when looking for containers to arrange

flowers in such as old watering cans, enamelware pitchers, cast-iron kettles, champagne glasses, mason jars, and teapots

add interest to floral arrangements. • When entertaining, fill a wine cooler

with fresh white lilies and freesia for understated elegance.

• Start the day with flowers. Place a bouquet by your bedside so they’re the first thing you see.

• Freshen up your bathroom with a beautiful display of flower buds.

• Revive a veranda with a bouquet of blooms set on an inlaid table.

• In a hall, place three single stems of the same flower in three symmetrical identical glass vases.

• There’s nothing like the splash of color provided by fresh flowers to brighten time at your desk.

Her experience with the healthcare system and frustration with it created a determination to create change and ultimately brought Donna to a new career. Donna is involved in her community, serving on the Board of Directors for NAIW (National Association Insurance for Women), Rotary Club of Albany, Corvallis Chamber of Commerce, Christian Chamber of Commerce, NAHU (National Association of Health Underwriters), and Points for Profit.

Donna is extremely passionate

about healthcare and considers it her responsibility to accurately identify the specific needs of each client and direct them to the most comprehensive and affordable coverage. Due to her experience in the corporate world she understands the economic landscape of the industry and many of the issues

employer’s face today. This enables Donna to add value to both sides of the market – as a broker and consultant to employers and representative to the consumer.

Donna and her husband, Dennis, have been married

for many years and enjoy spending time together, walking, bicycling, college football games, cooking, and sharing recipes with friends. Donna has an identical twin sister. In fact, she especially enjoys hearing her sister’s children and grandchildren call her “Aunt Mom,” knowing that they appreciate the relationship as much as she does. Donna is also actively involved with the church would someday like to publish her own cookbook.

The actor Wilford Brimley is famous for his Quaker Oats Commercial saying “It’s just the right thing to do.” That quote comes to mind as I work with countless people who have found a way they can make a difference, and they set out determined to make a difference. It’s so very easy to get discouraged by all the gloomy news of the day. Some people may think that the situation in society today is broken beyond all repairs.

Since we are talking about quotes, how about this one from Edmond Burke: “Evil triumphs when good men (and women) do nothing.” Look around you and you will see scores of people striving to make a difference. Some examples I have recently worked with include Albany Helping Hands, Teen Challenge, Crisis Pregnancy Centers, and the Honor Flight program. There are many other programs which I don’t have the space to write about here. Many non profits are facing a perfect storm: More need and fewer dollars. But this virtual army of volunteers remains undaunted; they are relentless and persistent, driven by a passion to help others.

Want another quote? One of my favorites is “Failure is not an option.” That is a quote from Gene Kranz, who headed the team to bring Apollo 13 astronauts back from their ill fated mission. They succeeded when the situation was hopeless. They thought outside of the box and made it happen. True failure is giving up. When you give up, nobody wins. I would encourage those who are discouraged, don’t give up. Jesus Christ told us to not give up. He told us he would never leave us or forsake us and that He would never give up on us. I will be with you always even unto the end of the earth. Jesus didn’t give up, so why should we?

CHRISTIAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE meets at 7:30AM the second Thursday of each month at Novak’s in Albany for a no-host breakfast.

Life Faith

By kaRen RogeRs

With summer almost upon us, we enter the delightful world of outdoor eating. Everything always tastes better outside- it must be the extra oxygen from the grass and trees, but I can get giddy eating barbecue on a concrete parking lot!

Make the dressing first so it can chill completely. Sift into a sauce pan ¾ C sugar or Splenda and 1 ½ tsp cornstarch. Be sure to completely mix the cornstarch, or it will be lumpy. Very slowly add 1 C red wine vinegar and stir well. Cook over medium heat until thick. Add two minced cloves of garlic and ½ C vegetable oil. Whisk until smooth. Cover and chill completely. You can put this in a small jar and shake it well instead of whisking.

To make this salad perfect, get fresh green and wax beans from the Farmers Market. Prepare 2C of each type bean. Bring a large pan of water to a rolling boil and drop in all the beans at once. When they return to a boil, time five

minutes exactly. Pour the water off and shock the beans in a pan of ice cubes and cold water until completely cold and drain. Remember, I’m a vegetable snob and this step is really necessary to achieve the best result.

Place the drained beans in a large bowl and add 1 can each of drained kidney and

garbanzo beans. Chop 1 small red onion, add and mix well.

Just before serving, pour the dressing over the salad and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste. The lightly thickened dressing will cling well to the beans.

You can vary the beans in any

way you like. If you dislike garbanzos, leave them out or substitute others. The dressing is adequate for about six cups of salad. This can be made a day ahead and refrigerated, adding the dressing at the last minute.

This is always well received at picnics. The Splenda version is very good for dieters and diabetics. The crisp beans and the tangy sauce make it a hit at any outdoor feast!

Our incredible local strawberries are coming into season and they are not only delightfully beautiful, but also very nutritious. The bright red color of strawberries is due to their high concentration of antioxidants. They are an excellent source of vitamin C and fiber. Strawberries are a member of the rose family, and are the only fruit with seeds on the outside rather than the inside.

Always choose strawberries that are plump and firm and have a deep,

red color, as they do not continue to ripen after they are picked. Handle strawberries with care and wash thoroughly just prior to eating. Do not remove the caps until you are ready to prepare them as the stem keeps water from damaging the strawberries. To store strawberries for a few days in the refrigerator, place a damp paper towel on the bottom of a sheet pan. Place the strawberries on top, cover with

Manager’s CornerBy Kathy Dennis,

Director of Points for Profit

Q: one of our supporters sent in a huge envelope with receipts for our non-profit. However, when we opened the envelope we found all the recripts were dated 2012. is there a way to turn this in for points even though it is last year?

A: What a great question. one that we have been

faced with answering with wisdom (as we hope all answer are). Although we’d love to “add more receipts” to the six million dollars turned in last year (to show our sponsors) we have to have a deadline and that was January 15, 2013. if we would allow those “extra receipts” it could change the points totals and possibly the order of winners and payout amounts. our award banquet is at the end of January so we cannot take in any receipts after that last “turn in”. Keep the momentum going! it will pay off!

Points for Profit meeting is June 25, 2013 from 6-8pm at the eagles, Albany. Pizza Hut will be catering.

see you there! tickets are $8. if you would like to reserve a dinner please rsVP by 5pm June 24, 2013 to [email protected] or call (541) 791-2901. for more

Food Drive Can Earn Points in June

By ricK rogers

Points for Profit partner Mid-Valley Gleaners, a participating non-profit, will be holding a food drive during the month of June. food collection barrels will be set up at sid steven’s Jewelers in downtown Albany, Grocery outlet in Albany and Linn Lanes in Lebanon. the gleaners stress that they can accept only pre-packaged, canned and boxed, shelf-stable, food items. Home canned food, outdated, and perishable items cannot be accepted.

the Mid-Valley Gleaners work each year to help about 80 local families who have lost their jobs, are disabled, or otherwise down on their luck. their volunteers glean from local fields and orchards after

yearly harvests to distribute healthy and fresh, local fruits and vegetables to those in need. they also use donations of food and cash to operate a local food bank.

in order to help restock the food bank shelves, Points for Profit is asking its members to bring food and cash donations to our monthly dinner meeting on June 25th. everyone who brings a donation to the dinner will receive 5-million points which they can give to their participating non-profit, or turn around, and give back to the Mid-Valley Gleaners.

Gleaner’s members want to thank everyone in advance for their support during the June food drive and throughout the year. for more information about the gleaners group, go to: midvalleygleaners.com.

Let us tell you why Premiere Floor Covering is so successful. It started many years ago as Spencer started on his knees, installing flooring. Over the years, he worked with family members at many floor covering stores, then forming a company with his brother called T & S installations. After years, the two separated and formed their own installation companies. Then, Spencer met Cheryl. Cheryl also came from a background in the flooring trade. In 2003, Spencer and Cheryl decide to open their own flooring store in Brownsville Oregon. As most people laughed at them, Spencer and Cheryl were swamped with work, also making international magazines for the Wilsonart Laminate flooring they did in the Royal Caribbean Cruise call center, with over 7,000 square feet of laminate flooring.

It only took three years and they outgrow Brownsville. After that short time, they had to expand over to Lebanon. That’s where Premiere Floor Covering opened its doors in

May of 2006, and they are still growing.See, Spencer and Cheryl have been in

the trenches for many years and they know which installers to use and which ones NOT to use, so our customer gets only the best installers in the valley. We are very proud of all are installers. Also, as our

customer tackles their own projects, Premiere Floor Covering has many years of experience behind them, so they can really hold your hand through any flooring project.

Premiere Floor Covering has very low overhead, 2500 square feet of warehouse space that’s 20 feet high. This gives us great buying power. It is rare that the big outlet stores beat us. (They have VERY high overhead!) We have a

lot of in stock products all priced to move and that is hard for our competitors to beat. Bottom line to our customers is that we have low Prices, the best installers, a wealth of experience, lots of in stock flooring, and GREAT customer service.

longer-term CD rates will generally be higher than savings account interest rates. However, there could be a penalty for early withdrawal, so this depends on how much better the CD rate is, what the penalty would be, and what you think the likelihood of encountering an emergency is.

Whether you choose a CD or a savings account, be sure to shop for a competitive bank rate. Just because that money is waiting for an emergency doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be earning some interest in the meantime.


It’s so refreshing to eat that first strawberry or mix that first salad from your own garden during the early summer months. Maybe you enjoy that first Walla Walla onion or fresh

Basil to add to a dish as the season gets going, but often there isn’t enough time or room in the back yard to grow everything you’d like to grace your table with in the summer. Fortunately for us, there are many local farmers who contribute great foods and creations and offer them through local farmers markets. For your enjoyment and planning some new culinary adventures with fresh local produce, download our starter-list of just some of the local Farmers Markets available for your perusing.

In Search of Fresh & Local

HEALTHY STREETS PLANNING INITIATIVEThe Healthy Streets Planning Initiative is a comprehensive City planning effort to improve community health, develop alternative transportation routes, expand urban green space, and treat stormwater. Healthy Streets serve two distinct, but symbiotic purposes. First, they provide transportation options for all users, including pedestrians, bicycles, public transit, and motor vehicles. Second, they collect non-point source pollution from the right-of-way and provide filtration, detention, and evaporation of stormwater runoff before it enters the Willamette River and the City's urban streams. The goal is to develop an evaluation tool for prioritizing improvement projects throughout the City based on criteria chosen through extensive discussions between community stakeholders, technical advisory group members, City residents, and City Staff.

Why is the City of Corvallis doing this? When the needs of people on foot, public transportation, and bicycles are integrated with the treatment of stormwater, our natural resources are better protected and the quality of life of our citizens is improved. Implementing the Healthy Streets Initiative will meet the goals of the City's sustainability policies and numerous community organizations as well as state regulations and goals defined by the Environmental Protection Agency.

When will the Healthy Streets Initiative occur? The project started in October of 2012 and will conclude in April of 2014. A community survey was implemented in November 2012 by Lockwood Research with results posted on the City of Corvallis Healthy Streets website. Technical Advisory Group meetings are already underwayand public meetings will be held beginning in March 2013. Public meeting dates and locations are posted below and will also be advertised in the Corvallis Gazette-Times and on our website.

Check our progress and upcoming events at www.corvallisoregon.gov/healthystreets!

Hurricane season has started and the IRS encourages individuals and businesses to safeguard their tax records against natural disasters by taking a few simple steps.

Here are four tips from the IRS to help you prepare in case a disaster strikes.1. Backup records

electronically Taxpayers should keep a set of backup records in a safe place away from the original set. Keeping a backup set of records, bank statements, tax returns, insurance policies, etc is easier now that many financial institutions provide statements and documents electronically. Even if the original record is only available on paper, it can be scanned into an electronic format. With documents in electronic form, taxpayers can download them to a portable backup storage device such as an external hard drive, CD or DVD that you can take with you in the event that you need to evacuate.

2. Document valuables Taxpayers should photograph or videotape the contents of their home, especially items of higher value. A photographic record can help an individual prove the market value of items for insurance and casualty loss claims. Photos should be stored at an outside location.

To document your valuables, the IRS has a disaster loss workbook, Publication 584, Casualty, Disaster and Theft Loss

Workbook, which can help taxpayers compile a room-by-room list of belongings.3. Update Emergency Plans Emergency plans should be reviewed at least once a year. Personal and

business situations change over time as do preparedness needs. When employers hire new employees or when a company changes functions, plans should be updated and employees should be informed.

4. IRS Ready to Help If a disaster strikes, affected taxpayers can call 1-866-562-5227 to speak with IRS specialists trained to handle disaster-related issues. Taxpayers can request copies of previously-filed tax returns by filing Form 4506, Request for Copy of Tax Return. Taxpayers can also request transcripts showing most line items on a return online at IRS.gov, by calling 1-800-908-9946 or by using Form 4506T-EZ, Short Form Request for Individual Tax Return Transcript or Form 4506-T, Request for Transcript of Return.

Effective job postings are essential to your business obtaining and retaining the best candidates for your opening, as well as saving you time and money. Impacting a candidates desire to apply will get you the right candidates.

Think of your job posts as targeted direct marketing; After all, you are selling the applicant on your company being a good place for them to work. For example, if your book store is dog-friendly, then make a big deal of that. Put it at the top of your job posting, as in “dog-loving book lover wanted to bring their dog to work.”

I recently read a story of a firm who had a job opening for a consulting position with 70% travel. Their first posting made the travel sound like a downside of the job, and they didn’t find the right person. Then they posted the following, “Use your degree to see the world.” They attracted a completely different applicant base and ended up having several

highly qualified candidates from which to choose.

Your posting must also include sufficient viewing time for potential applicants. A minimum of at least two weeks from the time the job posting is available to the deadline date

is appropriate. With an extended deadline, you will have a greater pool of applicants to choose from.

Your first step is to write a descriptive job title and job description; be specific about tasks and responsibilities. Also be specific about your requirements and qualifications then use the “direct marketing” suggestions above. Be creative and attract your best applicants ever!

CBS can help with creating job descriptions and postings, as well as supporting you in the interview process if needed. Contact us today to learn more! Call Cheryl Vaun at 541-981-9566 or email [email protected].

Today’s Strawberry was developed during the late 1700’s by crossing two American species, Fragaria chiloensis with Fragaria virginiana.

Strawberries are considered to be a cooling, astringent, tonic herb that has mild diuretic and laxative effects. The noted physician, Nicholas Culpeper, stated in 1653 that they “take away any redness in the face, or spots or other deformities in the ski,” and that they “are excellently good to cool the liver.” You really don’t want an over-heated liver!

As growers produced larger and finer berries, they became a fad. Victorians created a whole formal procedure just to consume berries properly! Beautiful porcelain trays were made that had built-in spots for the creamer and sugar bowls, or they were served from a master bowl

to smaller individual ones. All were beautifully decorated. They required a special spoon to serve them and a special fork with which to eat them!

The fork is very slender and always has three close-together tines. Bowls and forks came in formal sets of six, plus the master bowl.

However, we have left all that formality behind and only collectors or fanatics use sets. They are a drawback when consuming quantities of berries, though… They slow you down!

Editor’s Note: Don’t miss the annual Strawberry Festival in Lebanon May 30 through June 2. A full weekend of activities are planned including the grand parade on Saturday morning, June 1, followed by the serving of the world’s largest strawberry shortcake at the Cheadle Lake festival site.

If so, fostering animals might be right for you! Now that it’s spring, that means just one thing in the animal care world — kitten season! Kitten season is the time of year when cats give birth, flooding shelters and cat rescue groups with newborn kittens that are too young to be adopted. This presents numerous challenges for shelters and rescue groups who are faced with trying to find temporary homes for the kittens until they are old enough to be adopted.

Fostering is a great way to help. During this time of year, the need for foster families dramatically increases and SafeHaven Humane Society can get as many as 50 to 70 calls everyday

about homeless cats and kittens. If you’d like more information

We have recently seen several cases of Salmon Poisoning at our clinic, so I thought I’d briefly go over the basics of this disease. Salmon Poisoning is a misnomer because no toxins are involved; the disease is the result of an infection with bacteria. The bacteria come from a flatworm, also known as a fluke, which lives in salmon and trout. The flatworm shares its life cycle with a snail that only lives in Northwestern waters. This snail does not live in Alaskan waters or rivers that enter the Atlantic therefore dogs will not get Salmon Poisoning if ingesting raw Alaskan or Atlantic salmon.

The flukes go through a few life stages in the snail. They then exit the snail and enter through the skin of salmon and trout while they are making their runs through our rivers. When the fish are eaten by bears or raccoons, the flukes reach their adult stage and hang out in the predator’s intestines. The adult flukes mate and lay eggs that are pooped out by the host. The eggs hatch out and the larval flukes find their way back to the snail. The circle of life: parasite style. When a dog takes the place of the bear and eats raw salmon or trout, the dog gets the flatworm. Five to seven days after ingestion, the bacterium that lives in the fluke makes its way into the dog’s body and invades the lymph nodes. This causes the dog to develop a high fever associated with a nasty diarrhea thanks to the flukes. Ninety percent of dogs die ten days after becoming ill if left untreated. Dogs recover quickly when treated with the proper antibiotics.

People often ask, “How much of a

salmon does a dog have to ingest to get sick?” A dog can get sick simply from licking the skin of a raw fish. I have heard of dogs getting sick from under-smoked salmon. Thoroughly

cooking the fish does kill the fluke, and therefore, the bacteria that causes the disease.

The disease is diagnosed through a combination of a possible history of exposure, presence of high fever (often above 104.5 F), and diarrhea. The feces can be examined for flatworm eggs under a microscope. A definitive diagnosis is made when fluke eggs are found. Significant improvement is seen after just a few days on appropriate antibiotics. In cases of known exposure, we will often wait to start antibiotics until the dog just starts to become ill. This allows the dog’s immune system to produce antibodies that can help prevent infection later in life.

It’s really important for people to understand that this disease is actually caused by two different strains of bacteria. Thankfully most flatworms carry both strains; therefore, most exposed dogs will develop immunity to both strains. A small percentage of salmon fish (between 2 and 5 percent) only possess flukes with one strain of bacteria. Infection with one strain will not cross protect the dog from getting infected by the other strain later in life. Don’t assume your dog is immune to future infection if he or she has had this disease before.

If you live in the Northwest and you have a dog, you should know about this disease. If you fish or know folks who fish from our northwestern rivers or if you camp near rivers where these fish make their runs always make sure to do what you can to prevent exposure to your dog.

Upon the suicide of her manic-depressive mother, Alexandra Clarkson ventures to California’s wine country to uncover her family roots, long hidden by her mother’s unexplained silence on the subject. Sound like a sleepy family drama? Just wait: her trip coincides with the unearthing of a murdered infant, which turns out to be Alexandra’s baby brother that she forgot she ever had.

No one in Sonoma quite believes Alexandra when she tells them that not only did her mother not tell her anything about their family or her (Alexandra’s) childhood before the age of five, but also that she herself has no memories of the five years she spent in Sonoma. Her newly-found family greets her unenthusiastically and even with suspicion, especially once strange and violent incidents start occurring all around Alexandra.

The book raises a few interesting questions about family and inheritance. The genetic inclination toward insanity, which provides such great humor in Arsenic and Old Lace, here is treated

with terror, as Alexandra starts doubting her own sanity--could she be a murderer and not even know it? The other type

of inheritance is the story at least as old as the Bible: “punishing the children for the sin of the fathers.” (Exodus 20:5). As dark secrets of the past begin to come to light, Alexandra must also wonder if she will have to pay for her parents’ sins.

Well-plotted, and with a convincing main character, the book has only one noticeable flaw as a thriller. Have you ever watched a horror movie and yelled “Turn on the light!” at the characters going into a dark room where a monster/weirdo/alien is known to be lurking? There’s a definite knack suspense writers have that involves the main character being slow-witted enough to not catch on to certain dangerous elements. It works sometimes, but Spindler overplays the trick and makes Alex (a graduate student) and Reed (a veteran detective) not quite smart enough to follow up a few simple leads that would get them to the answers sooner. Still, definitely a good quick read to pass back and forth between friends this summer.

Every once in a while I just get in the mood for a good, old-fashioned western. When I say “Good Western,” the first one that comes to mind is Stanley Kramer’s 1952 hit, “High Noon.” While it was made over 60 years ago, “High Noon” still stands up with today’s audiences. This movie is as good in 2013 as it was when originally released. I had not seen this film in several years when I came across it flipping through the channels and landing on Turner Classic movies.

Talk about a cast! Gary Cooper plays the part of Marshall Will Kane. Grace Kelly, soon to be the real life wife of Prince Rainier of Monaco, plays the part of Kane’s wife, just newly married in the movie and departing for their honeymoon. Also in the cast are Lloyd Bridges as Kane’s jealous deputy, Thomas Mitchel as the town Mayor, Lon Chaney as the town’s former Marshall, and Harry Morgan as one of Kane’s close friends. You will also find Lee Van Cleef in an early bad guy role along with Sheb Wooley and dozens of other familiar faces.

The story starts out as Kane is about to turn over his badge to his

deputy. News arrives that a real bad guy that Kane sent to prison years ago has been released and, along with his friends, is arriving in town on the noon train to take care of Kane. Feeling a sense of duty, Kane decides

to stick around to take care of the trio of bad guys before he leaves. His new wife is mortified and pleads with him to leave. One by one, each of the townsfolk, including his deputy, decide not to confront the bad guys, leaving Kane to face them by himself.

If you have never seen “High Noon,” I won’t spoil it for you. Kramer made this movie on a small budget and captured the mood of the small, dusty western town and its inhabitants perfectly. By the way, pass by the 2009 remake and go for the original. This movie is riveting and illustrates how quickly friends can disappear when the chips are down.

You can get “High Noon” from all of the usual internet sources such as amazon.com and TCM.com.

In the past 40 years, the incidence of melanoma (skin cancer) in women aged 16-40yrs has increased eight-fold. Is it an environmental issue? If it were, the age range and sex of the afflicted would not be so specific. The dramatic rise in melanoma cases correlates with the rising popularity of indoor tanning beds. According the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Oregon women have the highest death rate from melanoma in the nation. Responding to this statistic, the Oregon Legislature passed a bill limiting the unrestricted use of indoor tanning beds to persons aged 18yrs and older.

Melanoma can be successfully treated if identified early. Whether or not you frequent indoor tanning beds; you should check your skin (and scalp!) regularly for signs of skin cancer. Use the ABCDE acronym to help you remember what to look for:A: Asymmetry. If you were to draw

a line down the middle of a mole, would both halves be the same shape? Asymmetrical moles need attention.

B: Border. Check the edges of your moles, if they are uneven, scalloped, or notched, they may be

problematic.C: Color. Is the color of the mole

uniform, or does it have multiple colors (i.e. brown, tan, black, blue, red, etc.)? A normal mole is uniform in color.D: Diameter. How large is the mole? If it is bigger around than the eraser at the top of a pencil, it may be cancerous.E: Evolving.

By checking your skin regularly, you can watch for changes in moles. Any change in size, shape, color, elevation, or condition (i.e. itching, oozing, bleeding, crusting, etc.) should be reported to your physician.

People who use indoor tanning beds are 74% more likely to develop melanoma than those who don’t. However, unprotected outdoor sun exposure can put one at risk for melanoma as well. To reduce your skin cancer risk, wear clothing and sunscreen to protect the skin, avoid indoor tanning beds, and check your skin and scalp often.

If you have questions about how to prevent skin cancer, the pharmacists at Rice’s Pharmacy are available to speak with you. Stop by for a free and confidential consultation.

We are excited to announce the opening of our new “Men’s Clothing Dept.” upstairs in the Vintage Boutique. Vintage clothing has become quite popular these days as retro styles have become all the rage. Men’s vintage clothing is especially hard to find because men generally had less outfits than women and tended to wear them out.

We have been searching far and wide to find items to fill our new space. You can expect to find vintage ties, shoes, shorts, shirts, pants, military, hats, and even leather hippie vests in our Men’s Dept.

Our Vintage Boutique has also had a makeover. We rearranged, made more room, and added a lot more clothes, hats, and heels! Our Vintage Boutique mainly includes styles from the 1930’s thru the 1980’s but we also carry gently used formal dresses from more recent eras. You can also find vintage gloves, scarves, and many different styles of vintage purses. Our hat wall includes over 100 vintage hats!

Our boutique has a children’s area with some of the cutest old fashion clothes you’ve ever seen!

We’ve also added a costume area. You can find everything here from pioneer dresses to mermaids and poodle skirts.

Just a reminder, we do purchase vintage clothes. You can bring your items to the check out desk. Generally, you will have to leave them for a few days so they can be sorted thru by our clothing buyer.

Albany Antique Mall is proud to be a sponsor of the Points for Profit program. Save your receipts from our store and turn them into your favorite participating nonprofit organization to help them earn money! Albany Antique Mall is located on 2nd and Ellsworth in Historic Downtown Albany. Open Mon. thru Sat. 10 AM – 6 PM and Sundays 12 PM – 5 PM.

essential nutrients that junk food does not. That’s right, $5 worth of fruits and vegetables will satisfy your hunger longer than $5 worth of chips, soda, or candy. You end up paying less because you don’t feel like you need to eat as often. Eating healthy foods keeps you from cravings that only buying more food can satisfy.

Better quality foods, even those that cost a little more, can save you money. Many of “lifestyle” diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, cancer, etc. can be avoided, and even reversed in some cases, by eating healthy foods. Avoid these conditions and you also avoid high doctors bills and purchasing prescriptions medications.

Hereareafewsimplesuggestionstokeepyourfoodsinexpensiveandnutritious:• Buy foods that don’t require packaging. The bulk section of your grocery

store is great for this. You are paying for the bag or box too!• Fresh local produce is often very affordable. You may buy in bulk from a

local farm and split the cost with some friends or neighbors.• Make time to prepare your own food at home. You can prepare for the whole

week and freeze foods making it quick and convenient to eat later.• Stop spending your money on drinks such as soda, energy drinks, and juices.

Water is a fantastic (and usually free) way to satisfy your thirst and get the energy you need.

The bottom line is that your health and well being is priceless. Feeding yourself good foods will improve the quality of your life. Really, you can’t afford to eat unhealthy even if it is cheap.
