The story behind Etcetera Antiques and Art Gallery is a gem in itself. An avid antiques collector from the time she was a child, owner Cindy Day already had the inventory to launch the business, though at the time it was stored in her home – much to the dismay of her late husband, L.B. Day. “The house was just full of antiques,” said Cindy Day. “My husband couldn’t even find his clothes in the closet, so he said, ‘How about opening up a shop?’” L.B. found a place to rent, and the rest, as they say, is history. In 1971 – just days after the idea was born – came Etcetera Antiques and Art Gallery, the first shop of its kind to open in downtown Salem where it thrived for about 10 years before moving to its current location at 3925 Triangle Dr., Ste. 140. And at that location it has continued its path of progress, becoming a familiar place for patrons to buy or sell jewelry, vintage and home items, a gallery of local and international art, pottery, and just about anything else an antiques fan might pursue. “We really hope people will come in – they’ll

“There’s not a customer that comes in that I don’t like, and I hope they all like me,” said Cindy. “We’re always honest about whether we think people should sell or keep something as well – you have to be truthful. That’s what it’s all about.” In addition to the standard buying and selling of antiques, Etcetera Antiques offers consignment, appraisal services, antiques classes, and moving and estate sales, visits for which are offered at no extra charge. Etcetera Antiques and Art Gallery is open 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. Tuesday – Saturday. Call 503-581-9850 to see what Etcetera Antiques has in store for you.

Renewing one’s skin and regaining a youthful appearance can easily be discovered after receiving skin care treatments at the Dermatology Clinic in Salem.

tip. One advantage to using the MicroPen is that treatment can be very precise on soft, small areas. “This is particularly helpful around the mouth,” Chadwick said.

Cosmetic patients consult with the Dermatology Clinic’s medical staff about which cosmetic procedure is the best choice to achieve optimal results. Whether it is minimizing fine lines, improving skin tone or pigmentation correction, they will have a treatment perfect for you.

Prior to a Micro-Needling treatment the patient’s skin is numbed with lidocaine cream. Then hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in human skin cells that significantly diminishes after age 40, is topically applied in a gel form.

In March, the Dermatology Clinic added medical Micro-Needling to its aesthetic services as another choice in non-surgical cosmetic treatments. This innovative antiaging treatment is becoming a very popular non-invasive procedure that can produce similar results as some laser skin treatments. “Micro-Needling allows fine line and wrinkle correction from collagen induction therapy (CIT) without having to add bulk, which is what fillers do,” said Dr. Preston Chadwick. There are different Micro-Needling techniques but the Dermatology Clinic uses the MicroPen that attaches a 12 micro-needle

The micro-needle pen glides in multiple directions and passes over skin and makes tiny injuries to help deeper absorption of the hyaluronic acid. The entire treatment only takes about 30 minutes.

Healthy Skin is

As the puncture points heal, skin collagen increases as well as improved blood supply in the treated area. The skin plumps and thickens in response to the stimulus, ultimately reducing fine lines and overall improvement in skin tone and texture.

Beautiful SKIN

“Additionally patients with mild scarring, such as acne scars can also be treated with Micro-Needling rather than using ablative laser skin resurfacing,” Chadwick said. Besides revealing younger-looking skin, he said there is minimal to no downtime depending on the depth of needles used. Most patients will immediately develop a glowing blush that could last two to four days. For optimal results, patients should receive two to three treatments spaced six to eight weeks apart.

Most cosmetic services are performed by the clinic’s four physician assistants all licensed with the Oregon Medical Board and receive required training on every cosmetic procedure. In 2014, The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported that nearly 14 million non-surgical cosmetic procedures were performed, which was a 154 percent increase since 2000. Because non-surgical cosmetic procedures are elective it is usually not covered by health insurance. However, Dermatology Clinic offers financing through CareCredit.

The clinic already boasts a medley of minimally-invasive cosmetic treatments from microdermabrasion, laser hair removal, Botox, dermaplaning to soft tissue fillers such as Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus, Restylane, and Perlane. But the biggest buzz is the premiere of a leading-edge skin technology – Micro-Needling.

Wooden Nickel a Destination for Foodies and Music Lovers Anyone passing by the Wooden Nickel on a Saturday night can’t help but smell perfection. Behind the inconspicuous restaurants on Cascade Highway in Sublimity and Pine Street in Silverton, prime rib is slow-cooking on Traeger grills and fresh bread is baking in the ovens. Because of this and a full menu that has been pleasing the hungry for 30 years, the Wooden Nickel and Mac’s Place in Silverton have become Willamette Valley favorites for many. “It really is a personalized experience,” said Carrie Hausmann, manager of the Silverton Wooden Nickel. “Our bread is all made fresh daily and our meats are smoked and cured here. Our food is something that makes us stand out.” In addition to prime rib, the restaurant has a great reputation for its burgers, pit-smoked St. Louis ribs, fried chicken and jambalaya. For those wanting to bring the Wooden Nickel experience to their home or special event, the restaurant has a full catering service. “We’ve offered catering service for more than 20 years and served thousands of clients,” Hausmann said. “The food can be

cooked on-site and is the same quality we serve in our restaurants.” Mac’s Place in Silverton is also a popular destination for music enthusiasts. Owner Glen Damewood recently renovated the restaurant, making it a better venue for the musicians who perform there and the audience. While Damewood himself played the stage before purchasing the restaurants, he regularly brings in well-known blues and rock performers such as The FLEXTONES, Dead Wood Standing and more. Portland blues musician Linda Hornbuckle performed at Mac’s Place regularly before passing away in October 2014.

We complement our fabulous barbeque menus with full service professional catering for events of all sizes and types We have been hand-crafting our own meats for over two decades! You can order it up in any of our restaurants, or have rvice. it delivered through our catering service.

For anyone wanting to hear the next generation of musicians or who want to share their music with others, Mac’s Place has an open microphone night each Tuesday at 8 p.m. Mac’s Place also features an outdoor creekside deck where guests can enjoy a meal year-round, drink from a large selection of beers and wines and still listen to the music inside.

Attracting Birds Can Mean Family Fun Instead of a yard with fence-to-fence grass, many mid-Willamette Valley residents are opting for more ecofriendly alternatives and inviting new residents at the same time.

accommodate large birds or discourage large birds and attract small ones with smaller perches. Brindle said he can help customers walk through the myriad of options.

Oregon has a plethora of wild birds and just as many people who love them. Wild Birds Unlimited in Salem has been giving residents in Salem the “know how” to attract the beautifully feathered animals to their homes.

He noted that habitat is important to attract wild birds and that bushes, trees and other vegetation that offers shelter and insects make great additions to a yard. He said adding nesting boxes will increase the appeal of a yard to the birds that inhabit the Willamette Valley.

Owner Chris Brindle first fell in love with birds in urban Seattle, Washington.

“We lived in an apartment and I was told I would never attract birds here,” he said. “I hung a birdfeeder in my window and attracted an American goldfinch. This started my interest in attracting birds.” Wild Birds Unlimited is known as “Your Backyard Bird Feeding Specialists” and Brindle, along with his wife, Karen, and three children, are ready to help Salem area residents develop their own love of birds and attract them to their homes. “Right now is a great time to attract birds,” Brindle said. “The Rufous hummingbird is migrating back along with other seasonal birds. Even though we had a mild winter, natural food sources are scarce. It’s important to have a feeder to help them refuel after migrating.” Wild Birds Unlimited has a large selection of seed mixes and suet that will attract a variety of birds. The store also sells a variety of feeders that can

“It can be a fun family thing to do this time of year,” he said. “Putting in new plants and feeders and adding nesting boxes is educational and helps kids' imagination. When kids see them, it’s fun to try to identify them and watch them come back.” Although cute, there are furry locals that can make your bird feeding plans more difficult. Squirrels are also attracted to the same food sources as birds and will do whatever it takes to get to it. Fighting the furry rodents doesn’t mean giving up on the birds. Brindle said Wild Birds Unlimited has an option that will work to both keep squirrels at bay and help when vegetation is limited. The Advanced Pole System can be designed to attract several types of birds without giving squirrels a climbing surface. For more information about attracting birds, bird identification and how-to videos, visit the store at 1210 Commercial St. SE in Salem or online at salem.wbu.com.

Participants at Center 50+ are active. They are finding ways to remain healthy as long as possible: learning to make beneficial choices early-on, continuing to exercise their bodies and minds in the deep intellectual, physical and emotional experiences that have characterized their earlier years and will enrich their later ones.

The Center 50+ professional staff assists its peer leaders to find resources for these goals. Led by Manager Marilyn Daily, the staff constantly researches best-practices and national trends in senior community center programming. With professional training in Public Policy Administration, Daily redirected the venue of her service from reactive nursing care to “keeping people as healthy and active and able to remain in their homes as long as possible.” She leads Center 50+ to be a hub of activity and a place of growth. The comprehensive program guide available at its website describes hundreds of innovative activities that overcome the long stereotype of senior citizens merely reacting against ailments of aging. Center 50+ is a center for life-long learning (over 40 courses from Chemeketa Community College are taught there); exercise, dancing, and outdoor activities; drawing, painting, lapidary, and woodshop; book clubs, discussion and support groups; cards, billiards and games; friends gathering to share lunch or just chatting over a cup of coffee – all crafted and led by seniors doing what they want to do.

It Takes a Lifetime to Get This Young!

The store offers home decor items -- including furniture, clocks, lamps, wall art, candles, seasonal items and more -- at warehouse prices. Blakely and her mother, Beth Gregg, formerly owned and operated the Corvallis location, but when Salem’s shop closed in 2013, the pair saw an opportunity to go back home, where they’d lived for decades. “The Salem store closed in November 2013, and then we decided to move our store, which corporate had asked us a bit about,” Blakely said. “We closed in Corvallis in July and reopened in September of last year. It’s been huge for us, the best business decision we’ve ever made. “We’re really happy to be a part of our community.” The store is part of a franchise that started about 10 years ago in Twin Falls, Idaho, and now has about 85 locations in the U.S. and Canada. “We’re a mom and pop shop, only open three days a week, Thursday through Saturday,” Blakely said. “That allows us to keep our overhead down and to merchandise the store like we do.”

“We have clothing and accessories now and future plans to expand that,” Blakely said. “The boutique has been awesome, and our prices are amazing, we think, so hopefully late spring, we will expand.” That will mean a change in the footprint of their existing space, not a relocation. “We’re definitely not moving,” Blakely said with a laugh. “Been there, done that, not doing it again.” Despite the upscale look of the inside of the store, the “warehouse” exterior is not an accident. “With that warehouse-y feel, you feel like you’re getting a good deal,” Blakely said. “Because you are,” Gregg chimes in.

J/K Carpet has served Salem since 1980 when Castronovo’s father opened the business. Since that time, the son has not only learned the trade, but also his wife, sons and nephews are also working for the company. It’s a level of knowledge that Castronovo said is unmatched. “We grew up in flooring and we pride ourselves on customer service,” he said. While most flooring companies have sample squares of carpet, at J/K Carpet, the rolls play an integral role in helping their customers. “Instead of a square, we can roll out 10 to 15 feet of carpet so you can get a feel for what it will really look and feel like in your home,” Castronovo said. “Because we buy carpet in rolls, we also get significant discounts we pass along to customers.” Additionally, pricing is made easier with installation, padding and disposal of the old carpet included in the price. With its versatility, durability and warm,

rich colors, hardwoods are also a popular feature option in many homes. J/K Carpet has a large selection of hardwood floors to choose from. Most of the hardwoods are also made in the USA, eliminating the fear of formaldehyde off-gassing that is currently an issue with many wood floors manufactured overseas.

Flooring that stands up to life

A trip to J/K Carpet can also provide unexpected ideas as customers wander through the store and compare additional options such as vinyls, stone, laminate and more.

“Everyone’s home is different,” Castronovo said. “We want your home, remodel or rental to reflect your style and needs within your budget.” He said this includes products for customers updating the home they live in as well as property managers looking for flooring to use in rental homes. Customers will also benefit from J/K Carpet Center’s professional installation team. “We match the installers to the job,” Castronovo said. “Each installer has his own specialty and that really makes a difference in the time and quality of the installation.”

Ankeny went through a major remodel last year, giving the tasting room space in particular new life. In 1846, the Cox family began farming some Oregon acreage, making the area one of the earliest settled places in the Willamette Valley.

In 1980, Joe Olexa began to prepare that same land for planting grapes, sowing the seeds for Ankeny Vineyard at the same time. Ankeny is now home to 35 acres of pinot noir and pinot gris grapes and has been producing small batches of hand-crafted wines in South Salem since 1982. “We just try to make the best wine we can possibly get from the land,” said Matt Calidonna, Ankeny’s tasting room manager. That land has some quirks that make it particularly good for the grapes that make up Ankeny’s wines, according to ankenyvineyard.com: “The low-lying, south-facing slopes ensure early ripening and uniquely flavored fruit.” These handcrafted wines are complemented by a full food menu, created

“The whole place is different now,” Calidonna said. On Saturday nights, they offer live music from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., which has been very popular. “The place is packed,” Calidonna said. The original settlers are buried in Cox Cemetery, which is just behind the vineyard. It’s an Oregon historic cemetery and often attracts visitors of its own, Calidonna said. Visitors are also drawn by the nearby Ankeny National Wildlife Refuge, he added, with some stopping in at the vineyard after a bird-watching outing. But the wine, food and live music continue to be the main draw. “Every day, we have more and more people out here,” Calidonna said. Contact Ankeny Vineyard at (503) 378-1498 or go to ankenyvineyard.

Choices Make Power Auto Group Shine Those days are long gone and Power Auto Group is helping facilitate changes in the car buying experience that will benefit everyone. “When people come to one of our lots, they will be greeted by a representative who is ready to listen to their wants and needs,” said Jason Koehnke, general manager for Power Auto. The Salem dealerships recently built two new stores on Market Street and renovated a location along Mission Street. New and pre-owned cars, SUVs and trucks line the sidewalk along the road and offer a glimpse into Power’s large selection. With five different sales locations and 13 brands of new cars, Koehnke said people will be able to find what they are looking for, whether it’s an eco-friendly electric car, a heavy-duty work truck or a new sports car. When a new vehicle isn’t needed, Power Auto Group also has more than 800 pre-owned cars and truck in its inventory. Koehnke said this kind of selection makes it much easier to match the right car or truck to a need. People can also easily search the Power Auto Group inventory by price, mileage, MPGs and more at powerautogroup.com. Once someone finds a car or truck they are interested in, they can get pre-approved for an auto loan if needed. This can make the process much easier,

especially when they find the right car for them and are ready to test drive it and then drive home.

Power Auto recently expanded its service hours and is now open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays as well as from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays to fulfill the need. Power Auto was started in Oregon in 1978 and has been locally owned since 1991. Koehnke said the dealership has wound its way into the fabric of the community by supporting Salem area nonprofits, schools and more. Its also worked hard to maintain a high standard of customer care that lasts as long as someone owns their car. “There are many families that come back again and again,” Koehnke said. “Grandparents have shopped here and then their kids have bought cars from us.” Koehnke also noted that although Salem may teeter between being the second and third biggest city in Oregon, Power Auto has maintained its efforts to keep the same hometown feel. “We see Salem as a small town and we treat people that way,” he said. “If someone is unhappy, we want to make it right. “Our number one goal is complete satisfaction,” he added. “Our long-term goal for success hinges on what happens after the sale.”

“I fell in love with Epic when I walked in the door,” Vanderyacht said. “I am able to do things here that I wasn’t able to do at my previous gym, including being more involved in the community and setting up fundraisers.” Epic employees want it to be a gym that makes you feel welcomed as soon as you walk in the door.

“It’s very empowering,” said Gloria Steele, a MRC client who lost 170 pounds over 14 months. “It’s your program for you to choose. You can’t cheat on a diet because it’s your choice.” Gloria had contemplated joining MRC but it wasn’t until after her husband’s doctor recommended MRC for him to lose weight that she joined with him. In their first week, Gloria and Bill Steele, of West Salem, each lost six pounds. Bill lost 45 pounds in less than two months and Gloria lost 70 pounds in the first five months just in time to look their best at their children’s college graduation which motivated Gloria to continue with the program. MRC’s nutrition-based classes educate clients on the food groups and how to read nutrition and ingredient labels on food packages. “I am much more of an educated consumer.” Gloria said. “I read labels and look at the sodium, fiber, sugar and carbohydrate content on products now to help make a decision. And I drink more water than I ever have on a consistent basis, about 100 ounces a day.” “We also have a cooking class, so we cook meals based off of our recipes so clients can see how to add variety, fun and flare to their food choices,” said Danica Nelson the Southern Oregon regional office manager. Nelson also boasts about MRC’s active social media presence on Face-

“I love the recipes that they post on Facebook that I use often,” said Gloria. “I learn a lot from other MRC clients and consultants as well.” The exercise classes motivated Gloria to dust off her treadmill and ease into walking 20 minutes a day three times a week. After a year she increased to a running pace – 3.5 miles in 40 minutes, running six times a week – now her blood pressure is better than her daughters. The majority of clients are women in their pre-to-post menopause stages so MRC offers hormone testing to clients throughout their membership. Based on results, MRC consultants set up an individual vitamin and herbal supplement program that balances the body for successful results. MRC also offers DNA testing on five genetic markers that can reveal whether clients have a predisposition on things such as carbohydrate sensitivity or insulin resistant to help personalize a diet based on their genetic road map, Nelson said. There are several membership programs and many are based on a monthly program depending on when clients reach their weight loss goal. But the bonus is once clients obtain their targeted weight, MRC provides free consultation, hormone testing and classes for an entire year to help them maintain that weight. And each year clients maintain that weight, they receive another year free, Nelson said. This year MRC celebrates their fiveyear anniversary in Salem but they have been helping people successfully lose weight nationally for over 30 years.

If you are 180, you could be 160! If you are 170, you could be 150! If your are 160, you could be 140! If you are 150, you could be 130!

Chuck’s BBQ Store Brings Love, Peace & BBQ Grease “Go See Chuck,” is a cry being heard from Burns to Vancouver – from city to the coast. For the last 15 months, for all things BBQ in Oregon, he is the man. A retired Teamster, Chuck Ries went to work for Traeger Pellet Grills, LLC about five years ago in Wilsonville. A local company, started in Mt. Angel in the late 70s, Traeger manufactures the "Mercedes Benz" of BBQ equipment. Chuck demonstrated their products in trade shows throughout the country and learned to service the grills over their anticipated 15-20 year lifetime. Then Chuck fell in love (the human kind) and wanted to settle in Keizer. Love, Peace, and BBQ Grease all came together to create Chuck’s BBQ Store at its convenient River Road location. For a year he worked both jobs – 80 hours a week and travel. When Traeger was sold and its warehouse and headquarters moved to Auburn, Washington; Chuck decided to devote full time to his unique shop.

baked goods, Apple or Pecan for Poultry, Maple for turkey and pork. Cherry and oak complete the flavor possibilities. Danny, one of Chuck’s customers shared his experience with Traeger. He has owned his for nine years. He loves the flavors and the versatility of the cooking. The best part for him is that his wife feels comfortable enough with the Traeger to take on BBQ cooking. “She uses our grill more than I do.” Sauces and seasonings, cooking tools, t-shirts, aprons and other accessories offer unique enhancements to the BBQ experience. A bottle of Grandpa Tony’s Drunk’n Hog Sauce, also produced in Woodburn, seemed a natural addition to the store’s inventory.

Chuck also represents a second line of BBQ equipment. The Big Green Egg contrasts Traeger in its East Coast manufacture; it is a ceramic cooker that utilizes organic lump charcoal in either direct heat or with a plate setter for indirect (convection) cooking. For other outdoor (and indoor) cooking situations, Chuck offers a Can Cooker, a sealed steam-pot perfect for camp fires or any other heat source. It comes in two sizes. Traegers are available in several locations in the mid-Valley, but the owner of Chuck’s store says he offers a substantially more complete selection of cookers and accoutrements than most. He says his repair service (he even does house calls) also sets him apart.

For 28 years, he has been “specializing in products for you and your animals.” All kinds of animals: fish to horses, pigs to guinea pigs, dogs and cats, wild to caged birds. And, for their owners: riding regalia, outdoor grills and yard furniture, pottery, garden decoratives, soils, fertilizers and seed. “It’s a family,” said multi-tasking employee Jennifer. “We aren’t related but we’ve become a family. Customers walk by, wave and speak to me while I’m sitting at my desk. That doesn’t happen everywhere.” Thousands of items are neatly categorized and displayed, and the array is dazzling. Every product is there because customers have said they want it; nothing is dictated by East or West coast marketing executives. One customer wants green/organic; the

The concept of the mercantile store, so common in the scarcely-populated U.S. of the 19th and early 20th centuries, has largely been lost on modern commerce. More than a classy name for a “general store,” and not so pretentious as “emporium,” such establishments were the nearest place a person could purchase food, both animal and human, farm implements and seed, clothing and other necessities – all in one convenient location, and from someone they could know and trust.

Half Time Bar & Grill Provides Family Knit Atmosphere

Half Time Bar and Grill might be Salem’s place “where everybody knows your name.” The neighborhood establishment has “a family-knit atmosphere,” said Nikki, daytime bartender and food server. She said 75 percent of its regular customers walk from homes in the immediate area. Nikki’s mom works a morning shift, and her brother is the night bartender. Nikki’s biological family is not part of the official ownership – “just a smart owner,” she said with a grin. Regular Joe lauded proprietor Alex Wright too. “He’s personable – a nice guy who takes care of his staff and his customers.”

Alex bought Half Time just over a year ago, rescuing it from an identity crisis brought on by a succession of restaurants and bars that followed its glory days of the 1950s. Then Uptown, a fish-and-chips specialty house, it marked the northern terminus of the “cruising the gut” strip of downtown Salem. Its present owner dreams a new social relevance for it, and his regulars agree that

he is succeeding.

There is a lot of good feeling at Half Time. The 10:30 a.m. crowd on a weekday morning chatted and introduced themselves to new-comers, guessing along with contestants on The Price is Right, addressing profound questions like “Is Alex Trebek dead?” Half Time’s customers love its food. “Where can you get chicken fried steak for $6?” asked Nikki. It comes with eggs and toast for breakfast, on a sandwich for lunch, and in a dinner with tots or fries. Daily specials and a regular menu offer “good food at a good price.” There’s a great selection of alcohol too – the raison d’être for any bar: premier spirits (and the cheap stuff too), 10 beers on tap, a variety of tequila as well as seasonal drink specials. A state-of-the art Touch Tunes juke box and large flat-screen TVs create a welcoming atmosphere. A heated, covered patio accommodates tobacco smoking patrons, and a separate video lottery room offers quiet game space.

Canton Garden: An Oldie But A Goodie

Canton Garden had a long history before co-owner Lu Lu Song and her husband took it over, but they’re ensuring the Chinese food restaurant is keeping with the tradition that has made it such a popular establishment in Salem.

When Lu Lu assumed ownership 16 years ago, Canton Garden had been a must-try establishment since 1969, and many generations of customers continue to call the restaurant a favorite when it comes to Asian cuisine. “It’s kind of a famous business,” said Lu Lu. “A lot of people know the business since it has been around for such a long time and we have a lot of very loyal customers who have been coming here for a very long time.” Some of those memories no doubt rest with the food itself, as well as a casual and comfortable dining atmosphere. Canton Garden offers more than a handful of dishes, including some patron favorites like the fried shrimp, pepper steak, Barbecue Pork Chow Yuk, sweet and sour pork, and Szechuan beef. The restaurant also gives customers the flexibility to manage their own meals, serving up combination plates, allowing

patrons to adjoin their favorite items into a single meal. Canton Garden has earned itself a reputation as a friendly establishment – one that puts customer service at the top of its priority list. “We’re always very nice to the customers. We treat them like a friend,” said Lu Lu. Many are so fond of the restaurant that even after they have left the Salem area, they continue to drive out of their way to return. “Some have been coming here since they were kids, and so when they leave they want to come back because they have a lot of memories here,” said Lu Lu. Located at 3225 Market Street, Canton Garden offers takeout and delivers within the 97301 zip code after 5 p.m. Online ordering is available on the website with no registration needed. For more information on Canton Garden, including menu items with pricing, visit www.cantongardensalem.com or call 503-588-1125.

“Is it the best burger in town?”

Nancy’s menu contains a Veggie Sandwich and a salad option, so what would turn a vegetarian carnivorous?

Nancy’s beef is 100 percent fresh ground sirloin, and the patties are formed right when they cook them, juicy and great tasting. For only $1.50 more you get a 100 percent prime patty and the menu board informs, “No one sells real prime in a Burger but Nancy’s.” Nancy’s beef is so delicious that two different customers ordered “Patty only, please”

And what about the other half of Nancy’s name fare? The potatoes are Idaho fresh – no crinklecut frozen commercial fries served. Cut fresh every day and cooked in pure noncholesterol fry oil, they taste better and are better for you as the menu promises. Nancy is proud of her buns too – racks of the seeded beauties were also packed away in plain sight. It’s a special recipe that’s not too soft and not too hard – just right.

Mega Markdown Stores is a new liquidation store in the Salem area, having opened its doors one year ago. It focuses on savings on top quality products and sells items that are overstocked, discontinued, slightly used, slightly damaged or returned.

One of the store’s perks is that it has a wide assortment of items to help furnish a house, apartment or condo.

Mega Markdown Stores sells all sorts of products. It has deals on clothes, shoes, bedding, furniture, electronics and appliances to name just a few. Clothing is its biggest category. “We put out new product every day and the inventory is constantly changing,” said Mega Markdown Stores Manager John Van Leeuwen. “That makes it fun for the customers because they know they need to come in often to see what they can find.” One of the ways that Mega Markdown Stores engages with the customers is

“People who are specifically looking for furniture and house wares should check us out,” Van Leeuwen said. “We generally have a good selection of couches and recliners at major savings. You are likely to find things for every room in our store.” Mega Markdown Stores gives back to the community by donating products to several local schools and is locally owned and family operated, he said. Mega Markdown Stores is located in Northeast Salem at 3298 Lancaster Dr NE. More information for Mega Markdown Stores can be found at www.megamarkdownstores. com.

Now a 25-year Keizerite, she sampled meat from all the area suppliers, not satisfied until she found that old-fashioned taste she was seeking. Combined with shakes made from hard ice cream and daily fresh-cut fries, Nancy’s was born.

“Our goal is to sell medium- to highend American-made furniture at a low price,” said Kevin Nash, who runs the shop along with Tim O’Brien, “and to support a lot of the local manufacturers around the Salem area.” These manufacturers include DFF, a sofa manufacturer based in Woodburn; Oakcraft furniture from Camp Adair outside Corvallis; Englander mattresses made in Tualatin; and log furniture made in Prineville, not so close to Salem, but still in Oregon. Nash added that using American makers not only means they are supporting the local community, but

The company’s connection with Salem has deep roots -- the store first opened in 1979 with a 15,000-square-foot space downtown at the mall. Some years later, it moved to its current building, which features a 60,000-square-foot showroom where they showcase their Oregon-made, American-made and Amish-made housewares.

Shred4Less Doing More in Document Shredding Starting a document shredding company was a clear-cut decision for owner Chad Robinson, who prior to opening Shred4Less in 2009 was the founder of Bio Clean, a medical waste disposal company – one that he later sold to a Fortune 500 company.

there were over two million complaints of identity theft in 2013, 34 percent of which pertained to government documents and benefits fraud, followed by credit card fraud at 17 percent, phone and utilities fraud at 14 percent, and bank fraud at 8 percent.

But before selling the Bio Clean business, Robinson had built a trusting and broad client base that knew his work, and those customers – and the many he has since acquired – had another request of him: document and hard drive shredding.

“There are a lot of stats out there about how much information gets stolen, but I think maybe people underestimate the importance of destroying information,” said Robinson, whose company this year has already shredded over 100,000 pounds of documents.

As with any startup company, Robinson knew he needed something to set him apart from other businesses of similar nature, so he offered his clients something nobody else was offering.

For governmental and business entities, inadvertently leaking information can often lead to backlash.

“We are the only local, on-site document shredding company in Salem that is NAID AAA certified,” said Robinson. “There are companies out there that will come from Portland or Eugene but they charge a premium because of distance. Some companies will pick up your documents and take them to a warehouse for shredding, but the most secure and responsible thing to do is shred on-site. Our main goal is making sure our clients feel comfortable with our process, which is from the cradle to the grave.”

Despite a common myth that document shredding is becoming an obsolete business model, Robinson, who contracts primarily with governmental agencies but also provides services to businesses and residential calls, says now is as good a time as ever for ensuring confidential documents remain in the right hands. According to statistics from the National Criminal Justice Reference Service,

“You obviously have the liability issue at hand,” said Robinson. “If someone’s information gets in the wrong hands, that can potentially result in litigation and hurt the business’ reputation.” Beyond the fact Shred4Less has the lowest prices and does all shredding on-site, Robinson said it has furthered its positive reputation by receiving certifications and being fully compliant under HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accounting Act), FACTA (Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act), and LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). In addition to hard drive and document shredding, Shred4Less offers on-site purging services and document storage in its 6,000 square-foot facility, secured with cameras and a gated security fence.
