2A | WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2021 | APPEAL TRIBUNE Mormon church announces location Louis Krauss Register-Guard USA TODAY NETWORK The new temple planned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for Eugene and Springfield now has an official location and name. The Willamette Valley Oregon Temple, first announced in April, will be built on a 10.5-acre site north of International Way and east of Corporate Way in north Springfield, according to a church news release. It’s locat- ed north of PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Med- ical Center at RiverBend. The temple is planned to be single-story and approximately 30,000 square feet. An artist’s rendering was included in the release, but detailed design plans are still in devel- opment, the church said. A groundbreaking date will be announced at a later time, according to the release. Springfield’s temple will be the third in Oregon, joining existing ones in Portland and Medford. “Based on other existing temples, includ- ing those in Portland and Medford, the Eu- gene temple will ultimately exceed our com- munity’s expectations in terms of beauty, thoughtfulness, and contribution to the sur- rounding neighborhood,” communication director and temple media liaison Jeff Rob- inson said in April. The temple was one of 20 announced for cities in Europe, Asia, Africa, Mexico and the Americas by church President Russell M. Nelson at the church’s general conference in April. “We want to bring the house of the Lord even closer to our members that they may have the sacred privilege of at- tending the temple as often as their cir- cumstances allow,” Nelson said at the conference in Salt Lake City. For the church, widely known as the Mormon church, temples are the most sa- cred places of worship, typically open only to members and reserved for special ceremonies such as marriages. Smaller, less ornate meeting houses, also called chapels, are used for regular Sunday ser- vices and community activities. There are nearly 154,000 members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Oregon, along with roughly 300 congregations, according to the initial church release. The first Oregon church settlements began with the arrival of Latter-day Saint businessmen in 1887, according to the church website. They then built a lumber mill on the North Powder River before persuading several hundred families to move to Oregon. Louis Krauss covers breaking news for The Register-Guard.

Bill Post, R-Keizer, will not seek re-election in 2022, he an- nounced in a news release Thursday. Post has represented House District 25 since 2014. The district includes Keizer, Newberg and St. Paul, as well as rural parts of Marion and Yamhill coun- ties. “It has been an honor and a privilege to serve House District 25 for the last six years,” Post said in the statement. Among Post’s accomplishments was the passage of a bill to legalize the sale of pseudoephedrine products without a prescription. House Bill 2648 passed this year. Similar bills had failed in 2017 and 2019. Oregon lawmakers had decided more than a decade ago to require a prescrip- tion for the products, which are also used to produce methamphetamine. Post currently serves on the follow- ing House committees: Agriculture and Land Use, Energy and Natural Re- sources, Business and Labor, and Wildfire. He also serves on the Leg- islature’s Joint Commit- tee on Information Management and Tech- Post nology, and serves as the assistant deputy leader in the House Republican Cau- cus. “When I was a radio talk show host, I often spoke of my desire for term lim- its on elected persons but always as ‘self-imposed’ by those officials. I don’t believe the writers of our Oregon Con- stitution intended for ‘citizen legisla- tors’ to stay in office for years and years but rather, to let the next citizen step up and serve,” Post said. “I look for- ward to the next chapter in my own family’s life and in the future of this state.” Tracy Loew can be reached at tloew@statesmanjournal.com, 503- 399-6779 or on Twitter at @Tra- cy_Loew.
