News Fairfield Restaurant Open Again
It seems like it took forever to see the doors open for the new owners of the restaurant at the corner of Highway 20 and Soldier Road in Fairfield. After dealing with plumbing issues and redoing the sidewalks around the building, there was new paint needed on the walls, deep cleaning for every corner, and a multitude of unforeseen problems. But, it was well worth the wait! Charley G’s Grill & Pub is now open Tuesday thru Saturday (8 to 9) and Sundays (8 to 8), and Fairfield newest business owner is no stranger - Shirley Gaskill Bingham. The Gaskills are an old family in Camas County, and the restaurant is named after Shirley’s uncle Charlie. Shirley grew up in Lincoln County

2019 Elections ~ Wins & Losses
Across our three county area there were five bond and/or levy requests for voters to consider. Of the five, only one passed. In Fairfield, voters approved a special revenue bond with nearly 80% in favor of a $1.5 million wastewater project. In Lincoln County, the Courthouse Bond failed to reach the super majority threshold (2/3) needed to start a $6 million renivation project of their historic courthouse. Even with a last minute promise from the county commissioners to reduce the bond amount by about $1 million, the proposal only received 51% approval from the voters. This result is not too surprising since continued on page 6... a $6.8 million school bond also failed in August.
