PAWS JAWS ENFORCING LAWS Episode 51 River Coffee Roasters 1240 Bay St. Florence OR 97439 Voted by Country Living, Florence is one of the best small towns in Oregon! That was evident as soon as we drove into this town of 8,000 on the banks of the Siuslaw River. What an authentic gem, and a secret we’d like to keep to ourselves. Unfortunately we feel,for our listeners sake, compelled to share our find with anyone who may be looking for the perfect getaway, a place to raise a family, or retire. As soon as you turn on to Bay Street, look riverside and you will see River Roasters, a historic former Evinrude outboard motor repair building. This former mechanics shop has been turned into one of the most inviting, rustic, friendly coffee shops on the PCH. Looking down the street at the Historic Old Town district seems like a movie set, complete with ornamental street lights, and benches to sit on and people, or seal watch. You can stroll even further down the peer and watch the river boats plying the waters. Facing the river across the street you will encounter dozens of shops, galleries, and farm to table restaurants. Our first guest, Kathy Stone, owner of the once Siuslaw Coffee, now River Roasters was dreading becoming an empty nester, (even before she became one). She worried about how to fill her time, and took a leap of faith when Siuslaw Coffee became available. She purchased this historic building, and with her own personal touch, the rest, as they say is history. When in her twenties, she went to Europe with her sister, and they split up. Her advice,when directed to “a friend's house” to spend the night in Belgium... wear a bodysuit. But what did she do when invited a second time to sleep in someone else's room? How about the third time, and did she learn any lessons? Ken Larson, a retired police officer gives sound advice when you are first being introduced to your newborn son. Hint:It has something to do with physiology,and marking territory.Why would his police dog bite another law enforcement officer, instead of going after the perpetrator? Noisy handcuffs and a dog with a long memory, may be in the answer. What is your new normal? Ken’s advice for people suffering from PTSD should be practiced by everyone. Learn from one who knows...and if you think our podcast is long, listen to what his favorite podcast is in length..whew you could grow a beard in that time. As a writer and herbalist Candace Hunter is a successful podcaster, in her own right. She has a business helping people, and teaching about herbal medicine. Is oregano a medicine? Find out this week. Is there magic in what she does, and how does her philosophy coincide with the Allopathic medical community? And how does coffee play into this? was it ever considered to be a magical elixir. Where does science stop and magic begin ? It depends on who you talk to, but trust us you will come away with a much better understanding of the healing power this woman holds.

New Year’s resolutions are a traditional part of the turning of the calendar. Although our intentions are well placed, few resolutions actually help us live better lives in the long run. The Real Herbalism Radio team takes on this trend the same way we tackle other questions: practically. We turn this on its ear. Perhaps it is the resolutions that are the problem is the resolutions themselves. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
