From 25 years ago: Sherm Gentis checks out the huge boulders that crashed down onto South Fork Road, south of Day-
ville, this week. The slide occurred on a curve in an area managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The BLM sent crews
to clear the road.

75 Years Ago
Old Year Ended And New Year
Begun With Brisk War Bond
Buying
Mrs. Bertha Dixon, county
war finance chairman, states that
Grant County still has money left
for bond purchasing following the
sixth war loan drive. Mr. and Mrs.
Howard Deist and daughter Barbara
of Prairie City, and Ralph Ander-
son of Seneca were the first to pur-
chase bonds in the new year 1945.
Mr. Deist left the money at the the-
atre on the night of Dec. 31, stat-
ing, “The last thing I wish to do
this year is purchase bonds for our
boys overseas,” and, as Sunday and
Monday were holidays, these bonds
were made out on Jan. 2, 1945, so
he was not only the last person in
the old year to purchase bonds but
the first in the new year also. Mr.
Anderson left the money at the the-
atre on Thursday, Dec. 28. He said,
“I wish to be the first in the new
year to purchase a bond.” His bond
also was made out on Jan. 2, states
Mrs. Dixon.

now that you can’t smoke at any bars,
people who wouldn’t come in before
will now. It will be based on the level
of service you get, not on whether or
not you can smoke inside.”
Imagine The Difference You Can Make

Bars Kick the Habit
Local bars held the last call New
Year’s Eve — for smoking that is.
Oregon’s latest expansion of smoke-
free work place laws took effect New
Year’s Day. The law, Senate Bill 571,
prohibits smoking in bars and bowl-
ing centers. It also forces smokers
to stay 10 feet from doors, windows
and ventilation intakes of businesses.
Local business operations had differ-
ent operators with different takes on
how the smoking ban would affect
them. Roger Tavern, owner of the
Wagon Wheel Tavern in Mt. Vernon,
said he believes the smoking ban will
cost the bar money and isn’t fair to
business owners.
“It’s going to close this bar,” Tav-
enner said. “I don’t have the popula-
tion to pick through. At least 75 per-
cent of my customers smoke, and
they’re just going to stay home now,”
He said his patrons don’t want to
drink and then smoke “they want to
smoke and drink at the same time.”
“Its a stupid law. There’s no kids
in here. There’s no one under 21 in
here. Everyone comes in by choice.
If someone works in a bar, its by
choice. They weren’t drafted. Its tak-
ing our rights away.”
However businesses that have both
bar and restaurant expect to break
even or increase business because
of the ban. Grubsteak Mining Co.
General Manager Chris Beil said he
thinks the bar and restaurant will see
opposite shifts in business as the ban
begins. “Obviously I think (the ban)
will hurt the bar at first, but I think
it will help the restaurant,” Beil Said.
“Sometimes we have a problem with
smoke from the bar floating up front
to the restaurant. Hopefully, a lot of
the people who didn’t come here to
eat because of the smoke will come
now.”
Beil also said he believes that bar
patrons who stay away because of
the ban will gradually return. “I think
the downturn will be fairy large until
people get used to it, “Beil said. “I
think that by summer, everything will
be back to normal. I hope it slowly
comes back that way.”
Kim Randleas, operating direc-
tor for the Outpost Pizza, Pub and
Grill, said she thinks business there
will stay the same or grow in the new
year. The Outpost has been a non-
smoking restaurant and bar since its
opening.
“We didn’t allow smoking because
our bar adjoins the meeting and ban-
quet rooms, and people seem to pre-
fer a non-smoking environment in
those,” Randleas said. “I think that
