PAGE A4, KEIZERTIMES, JUNE 26, 2020 Face masks now required Now open: FruitBox on River Road in most public spaces By ERIC A. HOWALD Of the Keizertimes Marion County is one of a handful of Oregon counties where masks are now required in public spaces. The Oregon Health Au- thority (OHA) released full details of mask requirements Monday, June 22. Masks are required in gro- cery stores, fi tness-related or- ganizations, pharmacies, public transit agencies and providers, restaurants, bars, breweries, brewpubs, wineries, tasting rooms, retail stores and malls, ride sharing services, pools and sports courts, indoor enter- tainment facilities, recreational sports centers and indoor en- tertainment venues. Cloth face coverings are now available at most major retailers. Businesses in those sectors are required to provide masks or face shields to employees and customers are required to wear masks unless they are eating or drinking. Business owners should also post signs regarding mask policies at their businesses. There are down- loadable versions of the signs at govstatus.egov.com. Businesses should, but are not required to, provide dis- posable face coverings for cus- tomers and educate employees on mask policies. There may be times when masks need to be removed while commu- nicating, with a customer, for instance. Businesses are allowed to turn away customers without masks or ask them to return with a face covering. Business representatives can ask if wear- ing a mask interferes with a medical condition, but should not inquire about specifi cs or ask for proof. Children between ages 2-12 are not required to wear masks, but it is encouraged with close supervision on proper use, (e.g., excessively touching the face covering, not changing the face covering if visibly soiled, risk of strangulation or suffocation, etc.) Children under 2 years old should not wear masks. Even when wearing a face covering, the OHA still rec- ommends: • Limit social and recre- ational activities where people cannot stay six feet apart. • Stay at least six feet from others during necessary trips to grocery stores, pharmacies or health care places. • Cover sneezes and coughs with a tissue and throw it away immediately; or cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve, not into your hands. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, mouth or face. • Clean your hands regularly and thoroughly with soap and water or use hand sanitizer (60- 95% alcohol content) if you cannot wash your hands. • Isolating yourself when you are sick. Stay away from work, family and friends. Stay away until 72 hours after both fever and cough have gone away without the use of fe- ver-reducing medicine. By LAUREN MURPHY Of the Keizertimes FruitBox Snack Bar has rolled into Keizer. The brick and mortar store, located on Lancaster Drive, has expand- ed to using a food truck once again. They have taken up res- idence on River Road along- side Uncle Troy’s BBQ and Thai Food Express, completing Keizer’s very own food pod. FruitBox is a family run business that started with Fabi- ola Baulenzula and her brother when they were in college. Dis- appointed by the lack of year- round fruit offerings in the area, they hatched the idea for fruit truck. “Being able to provide something the entire year gives people options,” Baulenzula said. They started out with a truck before opening a store. They are bringing the trailer back into use as a way to ex- pand their business. “The idea was to start of with a smaller trailer, almost a shaved ice trailer, and then it became a brick and mortar store,” Baulenzula said. KEIZERTIMES/Lauren Murphy Fabiola Baulenzula, a family owner of FruitBox, and Adela Cor- tez another member of the family opened at 4570 River Road N. last week. The truck offers every- thing from fruit salads to fresh squeezed juices to ceviche, which they’ve received high praise for. One of their most popular offerings is the straw- berries and cream fruit salad, which is made with a home- made cream. “At our actual location we sell a lot of tortas, it’s like a Mexican sandwich, but here we’re selling a lot of mango- niada. Mostly the mango ones,” Baulenzula said. Mangoniada is likened to a spicy mango slushy. FruitBox Snack Bar rounds out the offerings of the food pod, name coming soon, with a lighter alternative to a full meal. There is limited seating due to COVID-19 restrictions but more tables will be added when it is safe and legal to do so. “I just want to invite anyone to come and try a fresh fruit sal- ad or smoothie or one of our refreshing mangoniadas,” Bau- lenzula said. Keep fi reworks safe and legal The Offi ce of State Fire Marshal (OSFM) and the Or- egon Fire Service is asking Or- egonians to use caution when using all fi reworks this summer. For residents who purchase legal fi reworks, the OSFM en- courages everyone to practice the four Bs of safe fi reworks use: • Be prepared before light- ing fi reworks: keep water avail- able by using a garden hose or bucket. • Be safe when lighting fi re- works: keep children and pets away from fi reworks. • Be responsible after light- ing fi reworks: never relight a dud. Wait 15 to 20 minutes then soak it in a bucket of water. • Be aware: use only legal fi reworks and use them only in legal places. Oregon law prohibits the possession, use, or sale of any fi rework that fl ies into the air, explodes, or travels more than 12 feet horizontally on the ground, without a permit is- sued by the OSFM. Bottle rockets, Roman candles and fi recrackers are illegal in Ore- gon without a permit.
