Photo Story: The Lovin' Oven

The Lovin’ Oven, located at 240 E Ida Street, Stayton, Oregon, on March 10.      The Lovin’ Oven, a family owned and operated business, has been serving Stayton, Oregon, and the surrounding areas for nearly 30 years. Started in 1983 by a woman named Doreen Hellemn, who started selling her hand-baked cakes out of her home. Baking in a small kitchen on the side of her house in Stayton, Hellemn sold wedding cakes and started baking a handful of cakes every week for Gerry Frank's Konditorei—a bakery and cafe in Salem, Oregon.       In 1987, Valerie Schultz began to work under Hellemn, assisting her for about six years before she, and her husband Mike, bought The Lovin’ Oven in 1993. After a rocky few first years, Mike made the difficult transition from logger with Lulay Timber Co, to a self-employed baker, and they eased their way into the baking industry as business owners.

Richmond credited his father with teaching him how to play and regards that as one of his fondest memories of them together. When he was 14 years old, he started working as a volunteer firefighter. The firehouse had a pool table in it, where he and the other firefighters would practice and play in their free time. Approximately 5 months ago, Richmond, along with his wife Lynn Richmond (51), joined Mick & Mom’s Pool Team and began competing in the Valley League. They compete in multiple locations but oftentimes their team plays at Mick & Mom's Pub & Eatery at 255 N 3rd Ave, Stayton, Oregon.

Richmond described his favorite part of the sport as being the strategy that goes into it. It’s a l

  The Stayton-Jordan Bridge in Pioneer Park at 450 N 7th Ave, Stayton, Oregon, on February 23. The Stayton-Jordan Bridge was built in 1998 after the original, the Jordan Bridge, burnt down on December 20, 1994, after Christmas lights set fire to the bridge's roof.
