N aturopathic physician
opens office in Vernonia
Dr. James Hutton, a natur
op a th ic physician, has ex
panded his practice to include
an office in the Vernonia Fed
eral C redit Union building.
N aturopathic m edicine is a
method of healing which in
corporates the use of natural
ingredients such as light, air,
water, herbs and diet to main
tain good health.
Hutton has spent twenty -
tw o ye a rs in the m edical
community, beginning as an
orderly in various hospitals in
California and Oregon. Com
pleting his education as he
worked, provided hands-on
exp e rie n ce in the m edical
profession and, as he m a
tured, his interest was drawn
to “traditional” medicine in
stead of “conventional” medi
cine.
Traditional medicine uses
natural means to remedy ill
ness or injury, while conven
tional medicine uses pharma
ceuticals and manufactured
methods to obtain the same
results. Conventional medi
cine is the system most wide
ly used by doctors in our soci
ety. In recent years, however,
traditional medicine has be
come accepted as an alterna
tive form of health care.
Hutton admits that, in his
early years, he was som e
what reb ellio us as he pu r
sued naturopathic medicine.
However, as he gained more
knowledge and experience,
he realized the conflict be
tw e e n th e tw o form s of
medicine really didn't exist.
Hutton attended school in
C alifornia before coming to
Oregon to attend the National
College of Naturopathic Medi
cine, one of only two such
colleges in the nation to be
Dr. James Hutton
acknow ledged by the U.S.
Department of Education. Af
ter completing his education
in 1992, Hutton jo in e d Dr.
T uresk in his M ist fa m ily
practice.
Hutton chose Vernonia for
an office partly because the
convenient location allow s
him to continue serving pa
tients from southwest Wash
ington in addition to those
from the Portland and Salem
areas. This, along with the
beauty of the area, made Ver
nonia his choice. Hutton also
said he enjoys a place where
you can leave your car un
locked and find it's still there
when you return.
Dr. Hutton will be offering
his services in the Vernonia
o ffic e on T uesdays and
T hu rsd a ys from 10-5 and
Saturdays from 10-1. At other
tim es, he can be reached
through his answering service
at 503-241-5352.
Carol Noah has been ap
p o in te d m anager of U.S.
Bank’s Vernonia branch, to fill
the vacancy left by Betts En-
neberg’s retirement. Noah will
be doing double duty as she
divides her time between the
Banks’ branch of U.S. Bank
and the Vernonia facility.
During the past two-and-a-
half years, Noah has m an
aged the Banks branch, offer
ing professional service and
learning the needs of local
businesses and citizens. As
banking p ra c tic e s have
changed over the years, she
strives to offer all of the mod
ern improvements while re
tain in g the persona, touch
that lets customers know they
are more than a docum ent
that’s processed in triplicate.
Noah started as a te lle r
and w orked her way up
through the positions of per
sonal banker, savings coun
selor, investments, loan offi
cer, operations officer and, fi
nally, to manager, a position
she has held at three different
banks.
In order to make the transi
tion a bit easier, Enneberg
spent some time showing her
around the community, intro
ducing her and filling her in
on some of the local history.
C om bining the B anks and
Vernonia branches under one
m an ag er is pa rt o f U .S.
Bank’s strategy of downsizing
the company.
Noah w ill spend at least
two days a week in the Ver
nonia branch, with one of the
days being either the begin
ning or the end of the week.
She reminds those who may
fear chaos at the lack of a full
time manager, that the bank
already has a very capable
staff and that she is ju st a
ph on e c a ll aw ay if she is
needed. In addition to her ex
perience, Noah brings an ea
gerness to serve the banking
needs of th e com m unity.
Noah, who grew up on
Pumpkin Ridge, says she is
very familiar with small com
munities and, in fact, hopes
to soon make her home in
one; at this time, she lives in
Cornelius. She is treasurer of
the Banks Area M erchants
A s s o c ia tio n , is a c h a rte r
member of Day Break Rotary
Club of Forest Grove and is
in v o lv e d in the J u n io r
Achievem ent program . She
a lso p la n s to be com e in
volved in the Vernonia Area
Chamber of Commerce.
W hile cha ng e has been
constant in N oah’s career,
she re c e n tly u n d e rw e n t
change in her personal life,
too, when she m arried Jim
Noah in April. This is a posi
tive note not just for the new
lyweds, but for the people of
Vernonia as well; otherwise
Carol Noah would have taken
her place as the fourth Carol
Davis in Vernonia.
Clean Pointe takes over carpet
cleaning service as J-4 leaves
Jody Jones, owner of J-4
Professional Cleaning Sys
tems, has returned to Indiana
to assist in the family busi
ness, but not without arrang
ing for another carpet and up
holstery cleaner to service
the Vernonia area.
R ick H ailey, of Clean
P ointe S e rvice s, Inc., w ill
continue to serve area cus
to m e rs , even keeping the
same Vernonia phone num-
b e r- 429-3770 -p re v io u s ly
used by J-4.
H ailey, w ho is based in
Portland, has operated Clean
Pointe for seventeen years.
He hopes to schedule Ver
nonia area appointments in
“clusters” so he can do sever
al jobs in one day, thereby
a v o id in g a trip ch a rg e fo r
each customer.
