COFFEE BREAK
FLASHBACK
100 YEARS AGO
Aug. 10, 1922 — Railroads and gas,
berries and oil
The commercial club held its regular
luncheon meeting at the Hotel Oregon,
which proved to be one of the great en-
thusiasms, bringing out as it did some
of the wonderful possibilities of the
Redmond territory.
In the matter of strawberry culture,
it was shown that sales of over $600
worth of berries per acre were being
made in the outskirts of Redmond.
After a thorough discussion of the
berry problem was indulged in, and
several million dollars worth of fruit
shipped in and out on trains running
over wooden rails, propelled by straw
burning gas plants and lubricated
by crude oil from Mother Earth, the
meeting was adjourned to give the
members a chance to work on blue-
prints for the care of the increased
business which seems to be about to
assail us.
75 YEARS AGO
Aug. 14, 1947 — Mrs. Elder scoops
up top honors at Redmond Garden
Club Flower Show
Top honors at the Redmond Garden
club flower show, second since the war,
were carried off Friday by Mrs. Clar-
ence Elder of Bend. She was awarded
the chamber of commerce cup for
the most outstanding exhibit, and the
Knights of Pythias trophy for having
one of the most blue ribbons. Chester
T. Lackey presented the chamber cup
and Roger Sanford the other.
Visitors at the show were asked to
vote for which, in their opinion, was
the most outstanding exhibit of the
show. Merchandise, donated by local
firms, was presented to the blue ribbon
winners during the evening show.
Blue ribbons were awarded to the
following people for their exhibitions
of annual or perennial flowers: Mrs. E.
O. Teater, Mrs. Art Dickson, Mrs. Ivan
Ivancovic, Mrs. Pearl Weigand, Mrs.
S. D. m
Mustard, Mrs. Anita Wilcox, W. R.
Van Wert, Jack Mitchell, Mrs. Harry
Bollinger, Mrs. Lew Franks, Mrs. Clar-
ence Elder, Mrs. Bob Hutchins, Mrs.
Edna Hazen, Mrs. Allen Madsen.
50 YEARS AGO
Aug. 16, 1972 — Drinkers beware:
breathalyzers here
Drinkers had better think twice be-
fore driving in Redmond, beginning
next week when the Redmond Police
Department will begin using its new
breathalyzers.
The Stephenson Model 900A arrived
Monday from Red Bank, N.J., where
it was manufactured by a division of
Bangor Punta. All police officers of the
Redmond department were scheduled
to be checked out on the specific model
this afternoon by a representative of
the Oregon State Board of Health. On
March 14-16, they had undergone
three days training on breathalyzer, us-
ing a similar model, during a session
conducted at Redmond City Hall for
all law enforcement officers in the tri-
county area.
The model 900A, an improvement
over the previous 900, has just been
authorized for use by law enforcement
agencies by the OSBH. Licensing is be-
ing completed this week in preparation
for the beginning of operation next
week.
The device is used to measure
blood alcohol content in the blood,
provided evidence for the “driving
under the influence of liquor” charge,
should the alcohol content register
over 15 percent.

25 YEARS AGO
Aug. 13, 1997 — Drug treatment,
rehab center wins approval for Negus
Way
A hearings officer has approved a
conditional-use permit for operation
of a 16-bed drug and alcohol detoxi-
fication and residential care center in
Redmond.
The application was submitted
by Central Cascades Health System,
formed more than a year ago to pur-
chase property for the facility. It is
owned jointly by Central Oregon Dis-
trict Hospital and St. Charles Medical
Center.
Deschutes County has been without
residential drug and alcohol treatment
services since a Bend center closed in
1995.
The new center will be at 675 NE Ne-
gus Way, about a third of a mile from
CODH. Plans are in the works for minor
renovations to an existing ranch home to
meet the needs of the operation.
Other improvements are required to
meet conditions set forth in the permit.
The permit will require the center to
connect to city sewer and water, pave
the driveway, provide adequate park-
ing and complete the portion of Negus
Way in front of the property.
Alan Kirk, president of the Ni-Lah-
Sha Homeowner Association and an
opponent of the proposed facility, has
been out of town and said he hasn’t dis-
cussed the ruling and possibility of an
appeal with neighbors.
The center, to be run by Oregon
Treatment Network on a lease, will
open around Oct. 1.
