Wade Jackson plans to celebrate like
a Super Bowl champion — he’s going to
Disneyland.
He’ll have to wait until the theme
park reopens from the COVID-19 pan-
demic, of course, but it’s among his pri-
orities after being named as the men’s
champion of a home fitness giant’s
equivalent of the Super Bowl.
A $100,000 prize comes with the ti-
tle from the annual Beachbody Chal-
lenge.
Jackson, who lives in Salem and is
an independent agent for a national
transportation and logistics company,
plans to tithe 10 percent to his church,
pay taxes and take his family on a trip
to Disneyland. He and his wife have
two children, ages 12 and 9.
“I personally am kind of boring when
it comes to something like this,” he said
of his plans for the money. “Honestly,
I’ll save and invest the rest.”

Jackson was among about 30,000
people who entered the competition af-
ter achieving weight-loss and fitness
goals. He lost 116 pounds and 50 inches
in a year using Beachbody home fitness
programs and nutritional supplements
and submitted documentation of his
transformation.
He and the grand prize women’s
champion were announced during a
virtual ceremony on Friday, July 17. In-
stead of giving his acceptance speech
on a stage in front of a crowd in New
Orleans, he did it in front of a computer
at a friend’s house in Salem while a
small group of family and friends wait-
ed outside.
“It brought back those feelings about
how I felt back then at my worst and
throughout that journey over that year
and how far I’ve come,” Jackson said.
“It’s changed me mentally, emotionally,
physically and spiritually.”
More valuable than the prize money
is his health. Before he started the jour-
ney, he weighed 312 pounds and was
taking medications for blood sugar,
blood pressure and cholesterol. And he
needed a C-PAP machine for sleep ap-
nea.
Today, the 43-year-old needs none
of that.

"Brooks is kind of a one horse, one
stoplight town that needs to be reinvig-
orated," said Day. She remembers sto-
ries from her father about visiting the
space decades ago when it was a diner
called The Brook Nook.
When signing on to build a new res-
taurant in the 1928 building, Day said
she considered briefly returning to that
old name and identity. Craving a fresh
start instead, she chose Route 99, a
twist on Route 66's famous branding
and tribute to a local thoroughfare.
To match its new name, renovations
are underway to transform the former
Iggy's space, damaged by a fire in July
2018. It's a "total transformation," Day
said. The space has been gutted, outfit-
ted with new flooring and windows and
fresh furnishings are on the way.
He said the grand prize winners, and
their stories, will be featured in promo-
tional and marketing materials for
Beachbody, a company not without
naysayers.
“People may have a negative opinion
about it, but the bottom line is it
changed my life for the better,” Jackson
said. “The proof is in what it did for me.
I’m not trying to promote their prod-
ucts, but hey, I used them and this is
what worked for me.”

Day hopes to be ready to open Route
99 in early August.
Once complete, it'll be casual. She
wants the space to be an option for
farmers and other laborers passing
through, a place for families and low-
key nights out.
"I don't want anybody to feel self-
conscious coming in in boots," she said.
"yYou'll see me in there in my blingy
jeans and my boots."
Route 99 will serve an all-day "up-
scale rustic" menu, hearty breakfasts,
burgers, sandwiches, salads and a se-
lection of smoked meats.
"Wholesome and hearty," Day said.
"This is what Brooks needs, a family
restaurant."

If you’re paddling a boat 10-feet or
longer on Oregon’s rivers or lakes, you’ll
need to get a new permit by Aug. 1 or
risk a $115 fine.
A law passed by the Oregon Legisla-
ture in 2019 and signed by Gov. Kate
Brown requires adults to purchase a
Waterway Access Permit to float the
state’s streams and lakes to help pay for
facilities such as boat ramps, docks
and bathrooms.
The permit has been required since
the beginning of the year, but the law
provided a grace period before anyone
could be fined.
Now, that’s ending.
“We basically took that time to edu-
cate people about the permit and pro-
gram. A lot of warnings were issued,”
Oregon State Marine Board spokes-
woman Ashley Massey said. “Now it’s a
requirement. We still have the option to
educate and issue warnings, the differ-
ence is that a fine can be issued. That
will be up to law enforcement.”
The permit costs $17 annually or $30
for two years — sometimes with an ex-
tra $2 processing fee depending on
where you buy it. A $5 weekly option is
available. The new permit replaces the
previous invasive species permit.
Boaters 14 years and under won’t
need the permit, and the permit can be
transferred between boats.
Massey said awareness of the pro-
gram has been mixed.
“There hasn’t been a lot of under-
standing in Eastern Oregon about this
and a lot of folks think it’s a new pro-
gram,” Massey said. “You’ve needed an
invasive species permit for non-motor-
ized boats since 2009. This is just a new
fee to fund a new program.
“But we definitely need help getting
the word out.”
Revenue from the new system goes
into a dedicated fund to improve boat
ramps, parking lots and even purchase
land to improve access to Oregon’s wa-
terways.
The Marine Board recently accepted
the first batch of applications for
projects — 19 proposals in all — that
would be funded with money brought
in by the permits. They include replac-
ing the Wyeth boat ramp on the Des-
chutes River to paving a gravel parking
lot at the Port of Alsea.
The Marine Board will have about
$900,000 to distribute to the projects
The permit costs $17
annually or $30 for two years
– sometimes with an extra
$2 processing fee depending
on where you buy it. A $5
weekly option is available.
The new permit replaces the
previous invasive species
permit.
this year, Massey said.
The public can comment on the pro-
posals until Aug. 7 while decisions on
which projects get funded on Aug. 27.
For the past decade, Oregon has
seen a growing number of non-motori-
zed boaters at facilities funded largely
by motorized boaters, officials with the
Oregon Marine Board said.
This new program allows dollars
from non-motorized boaters to go to-
ward projects and access specifically
aimed at them, while motorized dollars
go toward projects to improve motori-
zed boating.
The program has been controversial
in the boating community, with many
skeptical that the extra fee will actually
lead to new facilities. But Massey said
they’re planning to show exactly how
much money comes in and where it
goes, she said.
Permits are not required on federally
designated wild and scenic rivers
where other permits are already re-
quired (boater pass or lottery permits).
Permits also are transferrable to oth-
er paddlecraft. For example, if a family
has two or more paddlecraft, but only
one is on the water at one time, then
only one permit would be required.
Three purchasing options are avail-
able: One week (valid for 7-days from
the date of purchase from ODFW) for
$7, one calendar year for $17, and two
calendar years for $30.
Permits can be purchased through:
i ODFW Electronic Licensing Sys-
tem where you can print out permit or
display using the ODFW App. That op-
tion adds a $2 service charge.
i Boat Oregon Store (downloadable
PDF to save on mobile device or print
and carry with you).
i Purchase from licensed retailers,
typically the same businesses where
you can buy a fishing license.
