Cockroaches Found in California Foster Farms Chicken Facility

For the second time in three months, Foster Farms has been the center of scrutiny by the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). The agency sent a letter to Foster Farms Jan. 8, 2014 notifying the company it will be withholding marks of inspection and suspending the assignment of inspectors at the company’s processing facility in Livingston, Calif.

The letter uses phrases such as “egregious sanitary conditions” and “findings of live cockroaches in and around your production areas.”

Some examples cited in the letter are an observation of live cockroaches found on a grey plastic tub that is a direct product contact surface on Jan. 7, 2014; live cockroaches found during production to the left of an inspection station faucet on Dec. 28, 2013 and live cockroaches found during production on the floor between the liver tumbler/belt and the wall on Sept. 14, 2013.

Back in October, the agency issued a public health alert for Foster Farms chicken due to an outbreak of illnesses believed to have been caused by strains of salmonella Heidelberg associated with raw chicken products produced at three of the company’s facilities in California.

At least 278 illnesses may have been attributed to that outbreak.

At the present time, no public health alerts or recalls have been issued concerning Foster Farms products. However, the USDA did suspend poultry processing at the Livingston, Calif. facility.


State of the City – Springfield: “Attitude…..is a Little Thing that Makes a Big Difference”

The Springfield State of the City address Thursday night, delivered for a fourth consecutive time by Mayor Christine Lundberg, carried an upbeat tone highlighting accomplishments in the city that occurred in 2013, and ambitious goals and plans for the year ahead.

Not to be outdone by the classic rock theme of Monday’s State of the County address, the evening started with a performance by the University of Oregon’s co-ed a capella group, Mind the Gap, which closed its energetic show with a rendition of “Be Good to Yourself” by Journey.

After being introduced by City Councilor Marilee Woodrow, Mayor Lundberg proclaimed the state of Springfield in 2014 as being strong, proud, diverse and united.

“Springfield taxpayers have made public safety a top priority”

After this statement, Lundberg was quick to reference the fact individuals from outside the city have typecast Springfield in a negative and unfair light, citing an example of a University of Oregon student who had told her he did not want to live in Springfield due to a perception the city is unsafe. Lundberg stated the stereotypes about the city are based on ignorance, pointing to the fact Springfield has a lower crime rate than the city where the student lives.

“I’m in that observation phase, getting to know people in the organization [police department], getting to know some incredible folks. I am coming to understand the culture of the city, and quite honestly, I’m not sure any changes will need to be made,” said Tim Doney, who started his duties as Chief of Police Dec. 18, when asked if he planned to implement any changes in the department.

“Now, the future of downtown is even brighter”

Lundberg cited the opening of numerous businesses downtown as a catalyst for a continued resurgence of the city’s downtown core.

Additionally, the Second Friday Art Walk and the opening of the SPROUT Farmer’s market in its new permanent location have brought numbers of new people downtown shopping every Friday.

Of course, downtown literally is going to become brighter, as the city is investing $220,000 to install new lighting this summer, in response to both visitors and business owners putting that at the top of their wish lists for revitalization of the area.

The 2014 Mayor’s Business Award was bestowed upon Plank Town Brewing, a brewpub/restaurant which opened on Main St. last spring. “The place is packed, and it has changed the attitude of downtown Springfield,” said Lundberg.

The Culture of Springfield

Building upon the success of the annual Veteran’s Day and Christmas parades, Springfield is solidifying new traditions, with its participation in the area’s annual Martin Luther King March, last summer’s Biggest Loser walk/run and the 2nd Annual Nick Symmonds Springfield 800, which is the only sanctioned 800-meter road race in the world.

An event the city started in 2013 is El Grito, which is the celebration of the Independence of Mexico and all countries, which takes place in September. The 2014 installment of this event will include the Mayor’s Soccer Tournament.

The city is going to sponsor a graffiti clean-up event this summer, and is also expanding the SNIPS program. The SNIPS program started in partnership with WAGS to offer low-cost spay and neuter services for cats with owners, and will expand to include the spay and neutering of feral cats.

The city also announced the upcoming addition to significant art pieces, one of which is described as a one-of-a-kind piece for downtown being designed by a world renowned artist. The other will be placed in the Gateway area, described as a beacon to encourage drivers to exit I-5 and drive into Springfield. More information will be coming soon, but in regards to the Gateway installation, Lundberg said to “keep your eyes open….and up!”

“The Spirit of Springfield”

In front of the audience of about 200 people, Lundberg awarded the “Spirit of Springfield” award to John Brown, who has spent the last 40 years cleaning riverbanks around the county. Brown was lauded for his commitment to the environment, saying in a video played to the audience, “Once this stuff [car batteries, syringes, etc] hits the water, they end up in the system for a long time, and hundreds of thousands of Oregonians drink this water.

“I think it was a moment to look at the differences in the community, and see how vivid and rich we view our city. It’s a good reminder to Springfield residents to always be talking about the positive things that happen here,” said City Councilor Sean VanGordon, when asked his thoughts on the reference to stereotypes about the city earlier in the address.

Lundberg closed the address with the following:

We are Springfield - strong, and proud, and diverse and united. Thank you.

Choosing Choice Chocolates: Euphoria Chocolate Company

$

This week, I will be reviewing Euphoria Chocolate Company, a locally operated store. First, some background information about the company from their website:

“Since 1983, Euphoria Chocolate Company has delighted Eugene, Oregon locals and visitors alike with high quality, impeccably made chocolates. Our luscious, hand-dipped chocolate truffles have won acclaim in Chocolatier, Success, and Candy Industry magazines, and in such gourmet guides as “Food Finds” and “The Chocolate Lover’s Guide to the Pacific Northwest.”

Euphoria

“At Euphoria chocolate, our good people combine mountains of rich dark, milk, and white chocolates with rivers of fresh local cream to make our signature product, the Euphoria Chocolate truffle. We also mold the same creamy chocolates into a wide variety of whimsical shapes, and make these exquisite chocolates available for sale in bulk to those who would make their own chocolate creations.”

Euphoria Chocolate Company has three locations in Eugene–6 W. 17th Avenue; 21 Oakway Center and the Factory Store at Bertelsen, 4090 Stewart Road.

I visited the Euphoria at Oakway Center on a weekday. I was the only customer in the store. The lady working behind the counter was very courteous and helpful.

The store was immaculate, yet a bit overwhelming with all of the selections. Of course, that is not a bad thing—just a little confusing at first.

One side of the counter has your normal pieces of candy (chocolate covered nuts, peanut butter, cream filled, etc.) and the other side showcases their truffles. As I have done in the past, I asked the salesperson what their best-seller is. She stated that Euphoria is most famous for their truffles. I have tried their truffles before and do not really care for them; so I opted for a regular piece of candy—a dark chocolate covered marshmallow, which is my weakness at See’s Candies. I bought my three children a piece of candy as well as one each of the small solid milk chocolates wrapped in green and yellow foil (representative of the Oregon Ducks colors). I bought a total of seven pieces of chocolate, which were nothing truly spectacular, and walked out spending $7.

My ratings of Euphoria Chocolate Company are as follows:

• Appearance of store—immaculate and beautifully arranged. There is a lot to choose from, so it takes a few minutes to figure out what is what. Prices are a bit confusing as there are many different ranges and not always clearly posted. Rating—9

  • Selection—there is an unbelievable amount of candies to choose from, especially in the truffles selection. They do offer sugar-free selection, made with maltitol and sorbitol. To get an idea of all they offer, visit their website at www.euphoriachocolate.com. Rating—10

• Service/professionalism/attentiveness—being the only customer in the store, I was waited on quickly; the lady working the counter was very helpful. Rating—10

• Taste—while I admit I have not tried all there is to offer at Euphoria, I am simply not impressed with what I have tasted. I tend to compare candy to See’s, which I feel is of the utmost quality. I can say honestly that Euphoria does not measure up. Their solid chocolate is waxy tasting to me and the pieces that I bought were not outstanding. Rating—8

• Price—keeping in mind this is a high-end, boutique-type chocolate store, I do consider their prices to be a bit outrageous. One small piece of candy can cost you $2.95. A box of 12 Classic Truffles will set you back $31.75. A half pound of regular solid chocolate is $12.95. Compare this to See’s, which sells their chocolate at $17.50 a pound, and offers free samples and well, they come up lacking. Rating—7

In conclusion, I have graded Euphoria an 8.8. So far, they come in third place behind See’s Candies and
Goody’s.

Standings:

See’s Candies—10

Goody’s—9

Euphoria—8.6

Please note, this is strictly my opinion and does not reflect the opinion of Lane Today.

What is your favorite candy store in Lane County? I would love to hear from you.

One week after NCU Head Coach Luke Jackson led his Beacons to a victory over the Southern Oregon Raiders, catapulting the squad to its first-ever NAIA ranking (#25), they lost the first game as a ranked squad, falling 75-69 to Concordia University at the Morse Events Center.

The Cavaliers were beaten on the boards, with the Beacons out-rebounding them 42-39; unfortunately, the Beacons beat themselves by turning the ball over 15 times and shooting just 38% from the floor.

Concordia connected on 47% of their field goal attempts, and Willy Ligon provided a boost off the bench, leading the Cavaliers with 20 points, followed closely by Adam Herman with 19. Esvan Middleton led the Cavaliers with 16 rebounds.

For the host team, Coleton Baker scored 27 points, and was complimented by Austin Kuemper with a double-double (14 points, 14 rebounds).

With the defeat, the Beacons fall to 10-6 (4-2 Cascade Collegiate Conference) and third place in the CCC. They won’t have time to dwell on the loss, however, as they return to the hardwood Saturday night, hosting Warner Pacific at 7:30 p.m.

Oregon State Beavers Take First Civil War of 2014, Win 88-80

$

The Oregon State Beavers women’s basketball team drew first blood against their Civil War rival Oregon for their first matchup of 2014, winning on the road at Matthew Knight Arena Saturday by a score of 88-80. Oregon State came away with their first conference win of the season after dropping their first two games thanks to solid play by center Ruth Hamblin (27 PTS, 13-18 FGM-A, 16 REB, 5 BLK) and guard Sydney Wiese (24 PTS, 7-14 3PM-A, 7 REB, 9 AST).

After the game, Oregon Ducks head coach Paul Westhead remarked that he did not expect that much offense out of Hamblin.

When asked if the Ducks can make adjustments ahead of Monday’s game, Westhead responded, “We can make some adjustments [although] it’s not as easy as it sounds.” Westhead felt his defensive effort waned in the second half, allowing Oregon State to eventually gain an insurmountable lead.

Saturday’s Civil War game lived up to the rivalry with the Ducks and Beavers swapping the lead back and forth for the majority of the game. The Ducks offset Oregon State’s tandem with their own pair of solid performers, Jillian Alleyne (26 PTS, 9-17 FGM-A, 8-10 FTM-A, 12 REB, 3 STL) and Chrishae Rowe (19 PTS, 9-25 FGM-A, 5 STL).

The Ducks came out of the blocks strong on defense to start, holding all but Wiese to a below average field goal percentage, giving Oregon an early double digit lead thanks to guard Katelyn Loper (8 PTS, 8 REB, 3 AST).

Oregon State’s effort began to improve on offense, and they regained the lead for the first time in the since the opening minutes just past the halfway mark of the first half.

Three minutes later, the Ducks regained the lead and had improved it to being a basket away from double digits. Oregon State clawed back once again, and took the lead once more in the first half before Oregon sunk a last-second basket to give themselves a 42-41 lead going into halftime.

Oregon State got off to a better start at the beginning of the second half, going on an 8-2 run to open the half.

It wasn’t until just past the halfway mark of the second half that either team achieved a significant lead over the other. Thanks to their tandem of Hamblin and Wiese as well as guard Jamie Weisner (13 PTS, 5-11 FGM-A, 5 REB, 3 AST), Oregon State slowly built an ever-increasing lead over the Ducks that reached double digits with four and a half minutes left in the game.

Oregon, led by Alleyne and Ariel Thomas (11 PTS, 5-9 FGM-A, 4 REB, 3 AST), attempted a comeback in the final minutes of the game, but it was to no avail. In the end, the Oregon State Beavers defeated the Oregon Ducks by a score of 88-80.

The Ducks will have a chance for payback against Oregon State rather quickly as they head up to Corvallis this Monday at 7 P.M. to take on the Beavers in conference play.

The Stanford Cardinal Hands Oregon Its Third Straight Loss

$

0

Anthony Brown had 24 points and six rebounds as the Stanford Cardinal (9-5) defeated the No. 17 Oregon Ducks (13-2) 82-80.

Oregon came out fast, hitting their first two shots to take a quick 6-0 lead. However, Stanford responded with six points of their own. Damyean Dotson started off shooting 100% from the field and put up eight of the Ducks first 11 points. Oregon and Stanford were neck and neck for most of the first half.

Both teams were putting up similar numbers, except when it came to turnovers. The Ducks had 11 turnovers while the Cardinal only had two. It was a combination of good defense from Stanford in addition to many ill-advised passes on the part of Oregon. At the half the Cardinal had a 41-37 lead on the Ducks.

During the second half, anytime Stanford started to stretch their lead, Oregon was able to make it a close game again. The biggest problem for Oregon down the stretch was their inability to get stops.

The Ducks trailed the entire second half. Anthony Brown forced an Oregon timeout with 13:21 left in the game, after extending the Stanford lead to 59-50. Oregon responded with four straight three-pointers, three of which were delivered from Mike Moser. However, once again, the Ducks were unable to string together stops; they were still trailing 66-62, but there was a new energy in Matthew Knight Arena.

Oregon fought back to make it an 81-80 game in favor of Stanford with 23 seconds left. Elgin Cook had a monster block on what looked as if it would be a sure dunk and Dominic Artis connected from downtown to give the Ducks new life. Thanks in part to a couple of missed Cardinal free throws, Oregon was only trailing 82-80 for two straight possessions. Johnathan Loyd missed an open jumper from 12 feet out. Then as the clock ran down, Artis got all the way to the rim, but he was unable to finish.

Oregon will look to rebound in Corvallis against the Oregon State Beavers (9-7) next Sunday at 5, while Stanford will return home to face the Washington State Cougars (7-8) next Wednesday at 7.

County Receives Grant to Stimulate Economic Development in Goshen

$

The Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development issued a $20,000 grant to Lane County to conduct a sewer feasibility study in Goshen, an unincorporated area of Lane County south of Eugene.

The grant will fund part of the Goshen Region Employment and Transition Plan (GREAT), which was established by the Lane County Board of Commissioners to develop industrial sites in Goshen.

“This is an important step to develop the Goshen area as a place for manufacturing and bring more jobs to Lane County,” said Lane County Commissioner Faye Stewart.

GREAT is a plan which is part of a larger effort to increase employment in Goshen, as the county is adding to its inventory of industrial land for development.

Manufacturing accounts for over $220 million in earned wages in Lane County, a significant contributor to the county’s economy.

“This grant is an opportunity for us to advance the GREAT plan and attract traded-sector manufacturing companies that need more space,” said Lane County Commissioner Faye Stewart. “This an important step to create new, well-paying jobs with benefits in our area.”

This project was selected out of 43 proposed projects submitted to the state. 316 acres of industrial land in Goshen are on individual septic systems, and the study will examine moving the acreage onto a sewer system that can appropriately treat the increased wastewater as development occurs in the area. Lane County is providing a match to the grant from economic development funds.

“The Economic Development Division is committed to helping create a business climate that enhances our economic base to ensure quality of life standards for our citizens,” said Glenda Poling, head of Lane County’s Economic Development Division. “The GREAT plan is an important part of helping revive and grow our local economy.”

Oregon State Wins Its 7th Straight Civil War

Coming off of a loss at home to the Beavers, the Ducks were able to hang with OSU for the first seven minutes in round two, up 16-15. The Beavers then went on a 20-4 run. Trailing 35-20, Oregon fought back to close out the half, but they were still being outplayed as OSU took a 44-33 lead at the half.

One bright spot for the Ducks was that Jillian Alleyne picked up her 25th career double-double before halftime.

Early in the second half, Oregon exploded with an 18-6 run to get back in the thick of things, trailing 56-53 with 12:07 left in the game. Chrishae Rowe and Alleyne were a big part of the Ducks getting back into this game. Alleyne and Rowe combined for six more points as Oregon cut the deficit to 62-61, but that is as close as they would get. The Beavers went on a 14-2 run to effectively seal the game. Oregon State won 84-70.

Oregon will try and bounce back against the UCLA Bruins (8-9) on Friday while OSU will take on the USC Trojans (11-6) on Friday.
