A new shop has opened under the Western Oregon Dispensary at the corner of Dale and Cornell, carrying pure hemp CBD products. They carry both topical creams and salves, and tinctures and other items that can be taken internally. Owner Sheri Ralston says, “We source the higher doses from all over the world. Most of them are not available locally. All our products are completely safe and are tested by an independent third party to ensure quality and purity.”
CBD is derived from the hemp plant, but has no psychoactive properties. These products can be used to help with sleep, pain, anxiety, and to calm anxious pets.
The shop can be visited by entering the parking lot behind the dispensary, on Dale. Hours are Monday-Saturday 9:30 am-7 pm, and Sunday 10 am-6 pm. Knowledgeable staff can help you find the items that meet your needs.

Are you taking advantage of these Tax-Shelter Accounts? Here’s a quick overview of two of the most common retirement plan IRAs—and the overlooked Health Savings Account.
With an IRA you are investing money and letting it grow until retirement. You generally can’t withdraw money without penalty until you’re 59 1/2 years old. There are two main types of IRAs: Traditional and Roth. Here’s how they compare:
Traditional plans are sometimes also referred to as “regular” plans. One key difference between Roth and traditional plans is how contributions are taxed. You can invest pre-tax income in traditional accounts. So one advantage of traditional accounts is that when you contribute money, you can generally write off the contribution as a tax deduction, thereby lowering your tax bill. One disadvantage of traditional plans is that you pay taxes on the money as you withdraw it.
Roth IRA: Unlike Traditional IRAs, contributions to a Roth IRA are never tax-deductible. But the money you contribute to your Roth IRA can be withdrawn tax free at any time. Here are some advantages to a Roth IRA:
1. You get tax-free growth and withdrawal. Unlike a traditional IRA, contributions to a Roth are made using money that’s already been taxed. While there’s no tax benefit up front, your earnings within the account grow tax-free, and withdrawals made during retirement are also tax-free.
2. You can withdraw contributions at any time. The money you contribute to a Roth IRA can be removed at any time for any reason but a 10% early distribution penalty tax will apply to the taxable amount unless you meet one of the IRS’s early distribution penalty tax exemption.
3. You can contribute as long as you’re working, regardless of age. You can keep adding to your Roth IRA well into retirement, no matter your age, By contrast, with a traditional IRA, contributions must stop when an earner reaches age 70½.
HSA: One of the best types of tax-sheltered accounts available to Americans is the Health Savings Account or HSA’s. Even if you have an IRA, you can still have an HSA for each tax year. An HSA is an account in which you can deposit a certain amount of money each year that you can use to reimburse yourself for eligible medical expenses. HSAs offer a variety of tax advantages:
Contributions can be deducted from your taxes for the tax year during which contributions are made. Any gains on your contributions are tax-free. Withdrawals are tax-free when used to pay for qualifying health care expenses. There are no minimum required distributions at 70 1⁄2 like other retirement accounts. If the contribution goes into your HSA via payroll deduction, it is not subject to FICA. FICA, (short for Federal Insurance Contributions Act), is the federal income tax that goes toward Social Security and Medicare. To qualify for an HSA you must be covered by a High Deductible Health Plan and you cannot be covered by another health plan (with limited exceptions), cannot be enrolled in Medicare and cannot be eligible to be claimed as a dependent on another person’s tax return. Make certain to seek the advice of a tax professional to determine which plan is best for your you and if you qualify of an HSA.
Sunset Credit Union offers a variety of IRAs for investment. Because everyone’s needs are different, if you have questions about which IRA is best for you, or would like more information on HSAs, contact Debbie at Sunset Credit Union at 503-643-1335.
