Lane County Parks to hold public meeting on N. Jetty lease
Lane County Parks is
considering entering into
a long-term lease with the
Oregon Department of
State Lands (DSL) for the
North Jetty Park in Flor-
ence, and will be holding a
community meeting to dis-
cuss the prospect on Mon-
day, June 24, from 6 to 7:30
p.m.
North Jetty Park is 250
acres that abuts Lane
County’s popular Harbor
Vista Campground and is
south of Heceta Beach.
The North Jetty Park is
currently owned by DSL
and operated by the Ore-
gon Parks and Recreation
Department.
The park is zoned “Park
and
Recreation”
and
“Beach/Dunes.” This large-
ly undeveloped park in-
cludes beach access, an in-
formal trail system, a dive
dock, portable restrooms,
ponds and stands of shore
pine.
According to ORPD’s
annual car counts, the
park receives an average of
114,000 visits annually.
“Incorporating
North
Jetty into our county parks
system is likely to have sev-
eral benefits for the near-
by community, including
more regular maintenance
and park ranger pres-
ence,” said Lane County
Parks Manager Brett Hen-
ry. “However, before the
Board of Commissioners
makes any decisions, we
want to hear any concerns,
hopes or suggestions from
the neighbors and other
community members.”
The community meet-
ing will take place at
Siuslaw Valley Fire and
Rescue, located at 2625
Highway 101. A short sur-
vey is also available online

There is no deadline for
the Board of Commission-
ers to make a decision. In-
formation gathered during
the community meeting
and from the survey will be
shared with commissioners
as they consider any next
steps.

Homeopathy is a valu-
able and timely adjunct to
conventional first-aid pre-
paredness.
Learn to use safe and ef-
fective homeopathic med-
icines to relieve common
first aid conditions, such
as injuries, sprains and
strains, bites and stings and
more.
Dr. Mark Immel will
teach a class on homeo-
pathic self-care on Satur-
day, June 22, in the Garden
Room at Wellspring Clinic
from 1 to 3 p.m.
He has nearly 40 years of
experience in homeopathy
and natural medicine.
“Homeopathic remedies
are an excellent addition to
the home first-aid kit, use-
ful for minor injuries and
ailments, as well as provid-
ing support and relief for
more serious conditions
where transport and fur-
ther medical care are need-
ed,” said Immel. “And they
work on animals as well.”
Tuition is $25, which in-
cludes take-home materi-
als, access to resources, and
light refreshments.
There will be ample time
for questions and answers
and plenty of interesting
stories from Immel’s expe-
rience.
Class size is limited, so
call 541-902-8860 to re-
serve a spot.

cated at 1845 Highway 126

decades and now offers
one-stop shopping for
most needs. Hours are
going to remain the same,
each day from 7 a.m. to 9
p.m.
“Navigating the coun-
ty process and engineers
alone is huge, certainly not
user-friendly,” Ambrosio
said about the biggest chal-
lenge to the project. “But it
was worth it.”
The Twin Lakes Store is
north of Florence on High-
way 101, three miles past
Heceta Beach Road.
“A Big Foot wood carv-
ing will wave at you when
you drive past,” said Am-
brosio, who added that
she likes to support locals
and has plans on adding
Oregon memorabilia and
tourist souvenirs along
with local artists and area
books and artwork.
A grand opening will be
scheduled soon.

Monday of the month from
11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Lunch
is provided.
Candidates must attend
a brief interview and then
register as a Peace Harbor
volunteer before joining
the council.
PFAC advisors help im-
prove the patient expe-
rience by offering their
unique perspective by
giving feedback on hospi-
tal communications, pro-
grams, services and sys-
tems.
Advisors have additional
opportunities to serve as
community representatives
on a variety of hospital
committees.
“As community mem-
bers, being on the PFAC
gives us an awareness of
what is going on within
the hospital, and based on
that, we have an opportu-
nity to work with staff to
build improvement into
the process,” said Bob Hor-
ney, chair of the PFAC and
a member for four years.
“it’s been very rewarding to
serve.”

schedule an interview, con-
tact Joanie Schmidt at 541-
