Primary Care at  Rumrey Family Practice

Tori Rumrey, a family nurse practitioner, has opened her own office, Rumrey Family Practice, at 1585 NW Washington Boulevard.  For Tori, it is a dream come true.

“I always wanted my own office where my children and family could come and be close to me,” she said. “I wanted it to be a family business so that everyone who works here doesn’t need to choose between their family and their work. I chose Primary Care because I felt my knowledge and skills would be most useful if I could share them with patients to prevent crisis and improve their overall quality of life.”

Over Sixty Years at Hart Jewelers

In 1955, Tom Hart Sr. was a watchmaker working for Barnes Jewelers in Grants Pass. When the owners decided to sell, Tom and his wife Mary Ann bought the business and changed it to Hart Jewelers. Today the store is owned by their son, Tom Hart Jr., and it’s still very much a family affair.

“I started working in the store my senior year of high school (GPHS), along with my future wife Cheryle,” Tom said. “She has been by my side all these years, with many other family members as well. My nephew Jared is currently one of our jewelers, and my brother Jed works a couple of days a week.”

The effects of the 2008 Recession on Grants Pass seniors were, in many cases, disastrous. Statistics reveal that the majority of seniors who own their own property have little or nothing in place to protect their assets.
To the rescue came Claudia Beausoleil and Mary Shea, two local mediators who decided to merge their skills in order to help seniors in our community. Their business, Senior Solutions, along with the Southern Oregon Mediation Center, is intended to help seniors identify issues that need to be resolved, along with providing the documentation necessary to protect assets from attack.

After the family shut down their dairy farm in the early 90s, due to government regulations, Dane and Travis bought a double-head espresso machine, threw open the barn doors and started experimenting with just 100 pounds of beans and a rockin’ stereo.
