A Classic-al Challenge for You!
lthough I could fill this page with commentary

related to Jacksonville politics, I thought
Id give it a rest for a month and talk about
something far more interesting and funthe Britt
Classical Season, now in full-swing.
Unless youve been living under a rock & roll, you
know that Teddy Abrams (the guy on this months
cover) is Britts new Maestrothe Conductor of the
orchestraand that hes bringing new energy and supercharged vitality to the hill. Not only are the 90 orchestra
musicians jazzed about Teddy, so are Britts loyal classical
fans who overwhelmingly voted Teddy as their choice to
take the reins during last years Battle for the Baton.
Which brings me to the reason for orchestrating this

columna challenge of sorts for those of you whove
not attended a classical performance in a while or
ever! Do me and yourself a favorattend at least one
classical performance this season. Teddy is shaking it
upits not your grandparents classical music when
Teddys on-stage. At just 27 years-old, Teddy is an
international star whose musicians give him their all,
making for an incredible evening on the hill that you
deserve to experience!
To Teddy, the orchestra and the old and new classical
music fans, welcome to the Britt Hill in Our Small Town
with Big Atmosphere!

2014 Britt Classical Festival
Music Director & Conductor Teddy Abrams

and the Britt Festival Orchestra
A Gift of Music
Highlights
An Annual Fund for the Classical Festival was first established

in 2010 to provide donors an opportunity to dedicate gifts
directly to support the music-making of the Britt Festival Orchestra.
This year, thanks to the generosity of long-time friend Hannelore Enfield,
the Classical Festival received the largest individual gift in Britts 52-year
history. The gift was made to honor the love of Britt Classical shared by
Hannelore and her late husband Sam, who together attended nearly
all rehearsals and concerts of the Britt Festival Orchestra for decades.
A CHARISMATIC CONDUCTOR
OVER 100 EXTRAORDINARY MUSICIANS
In grateful recognition of their gift and the commitment to classical music

that it represents, Britt has renamed the Classical Annual Fund for the
Enfields. All gifts to the Sam and Hannelore Enfield Classical Annual Fund
support operating expenses of the Classical Festival.

beloved Symphony No. 5. That same
night well hear a piece composed by
Abrams himselfa piece so fresh that,
as we write this, he hasnt yet given it a
name. Maestro Abrams has written it to
commemorate his first season with the
Britt, so it hardly fits into the common
practice period
definition, yet we
suspect well accept it as
classical music. The
following night, August
2, Festival attendees
will experience a more
traditional concert
with pieces by RimskyKorsakov, Prokofiev,
and Tchaikovsky.
On August 8, prepare for more
excursions into the new era. Brahms
Symphony No. 1 will serve as a highlight
of the show, but first, the Britt orchestra
will take on Walking, a lively 2014
composition by Sebastian Chang, to be
followed by longtime Britt favorite Bla
Fleck with The Impostor, a concerto
Fleck composed for banjo and orchestra.
August 9 promises a more traditional
evening, with two works by Sibelius,
Finlandia and Violin Concerto, and
Dvoraks Symphony No. 9.
August 15 promises the most
contemporary evening of the season,
with John Kanders l975 Overture to
Chicago, Kurt Weills l933 The Seven
Deadly Sins (to be sung by the stunning
Storm Large), Gershwins Rhapsody in
Blue (1924), and Aaron Coplands Four
Dance Episodes from Rodeo (1942),
August 16 admittedly wont adhere to
the classical genre. Its Pops Night, with
Time for Three romping from Bach to the
Beatles. Dont forget, lawn tickets for that
night are five bucks!
Last but not least, the Festivals closing
night is guaranteed to touch on all the
classically classic classiness: Wagner
(Overture to The Flying Duchman),
Weber (The Three Pintos) Bernstein
(Prelude, Fugue and RiffsYes, its
20th century, but its BERNSTEIN!) and
Mahler (Symphony No. 1).
So welcome to Britts new classical
season. Be prepared to have your musical
horizons expanded. But dont worry: it
wont hurt a bit.

e were taken aback last

summer when a friend
grumbled that George
Gershwins l925 composition Concerto
in F shouldnt have been on a Britt
conductors playlist. The piece is one of
our favorites, we countered. The guest
pianist was exceptional and the orchestra
delivered a brilliant
performance.
Its not classical,
he scoffed. This was
supposed to be a
classical concert.
The conversation
made us wonder:
How does one
categorize classical
music today? Is it just
music thats old? And if so, how old
does it have to be? As you may suspect,
the answer is more complicated than that.
Theres actually a period in history
referred to in musical circles as the
Classical era, from 1730 to 1820, when
such notables as Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang
Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van
Beethoven were peaking. Is that the extent
of classical music? If so, are we to
ignore music from a hundred or so years
prior to that, in the Baroque era, when the
likes of Johann Sebastian Bach, George
Frederic Handel, and Antonio Vivaldi
were making sweet music? How about
the years following the Classical era, from
approximately 1815 to 1910, known as the
Romantic era? Composers from that latter
time, like Frederick Chopin and Franz
Schubert, deserve a nod.
Musicologists connect those eras by
calling the whole shebang the common
practice period. We suspect the best way
to keep audiences away from a musical
event would be to call it a Common
Practice Concert. Which probably is
why all music from that extended period
became referred to as classical. But
given that, what about music written
since l910? Say, for example, Gershwins
Concerto in F (you knew wed get back
there)? Or the music of contemporary
composers such as John Cage and Philip
Glass? Do picnickers on Britt Hill feel
that such modern stuff belongs on the
classical list?
Well, well soon find out, because
Teddy Abrams, the new conductor of
the Britt Orchestra, subscribes to the
broader view of all things classical.
Under his baton, audiences will hear
familiar greats and more. Hell kick off

Up-Close and Personal with Local Artist,

Ron Moore
The Southern Oregon Lifestyle...
AVAILABLE
#17 in a series of artist profiles by Randall Grealish
on Moore never planned on a

career as a photographer. I
enjoy it much more as a hobby,
taking pictures of what I want, rather than
what others tell me to take. To this day,
though hes a professional, photography
remains a hobby. Ron did get his start,
however, as part of his job with the Fire
Servicetaking pictures of fires for
investigative purposes put the camera in
Rons hands. Since no one else knew how
to use a camera, it was Ron who endedup taking on the challenge. At first, he
worked with a 35mm, but then turned to
the 4x5 large-format camera, which suited
the nature photography he was also
drawn to. His first teacher was a book
from the library and later workshops
in the early 1980s with such renowned
photographers as Kim Weston and John
Saxton. These classes gave
him an introduction to
nude photography and
took him around Carmel,
California and to the
Southwest Indian Nations,
where he photographed
the area and its rugged
landscape.
Today, Rons focus has
shifted to the accurate
preservation of historic
buildings through his
photographs. His concern
is not for people to learn
more about him but rather
the rich history of Jacksonville. Ron is
fascinated by how history is changing
right before our eyes and the idea that so
many feel bigger is betteran idea that
does not sit
well with him.
His hope is that
Jacksonville
doesnt lose
its littleness
by growing
too fast and
becoming
too modern.
Ron believes,
People come to this area because of its
small town feel and its long history.
Ron is happy doing his part to preserve
the past by unselfishly documenting
historic buildings, donating his time
and photos to a number of projects. Hes
created a photographic inventory of the
old cemetery and also takes pictures of
the actors during Meet the Pioneers every
October, giving copies to the actors as
BUYING OR SELLING, BE AT
THE RIGHT PRICE AT THE
RIGHT TIME.
a thank you for their hard work. Rons

photos of historic buildings can be found
hanging on the walls of the new planning
department office. He also gave every
worker who helped refurbish the Catholic
Rectory photos of the building as an extra
thank you for their efforts.
A few years ago, as Ron
watched dump trucks
being loaded with old
shingles being removed
from the Presbyterian
Church, he thought to
himself, What a waste of
history! Then, with no
preconceived notion of
what he would do with
them, he took a stack
home, cleaned them up
and coated them with
urethane. The idea then
came to Ron to attach
photos of the Church on the rescued
shingles along with a brief, written history
on the back of each. The idea proved to
be a good oneRon later rounded-up
more shingles from the historic
Beekman House, Hanley Farm
and Catholic Rectory for more
photo shingles as well as
other projects.
You can find Ron online
at www.photoartbyrondee.com
or visit him in-person every
Sunday at the Farmers Market
from 9:00am-12:30pm. At the
market, you can view his vast
collection of photos ranging from horses,
old fire engines, trains and a favorite
titled Millennium Observer, of a
Bristlecone Pineone of the oldest single
living organisms on earth. And, you may
even be one of the lucky visitors to receive
a free packet of photos from Ron should
you cross paths while he is out on his
morning walk with his beloved Australian
Shepard, Bodie!

First-ever Book on Jacksonvilles

Historic Cemetery Just Published
I am very pleased to announce that
the first book ever written and published
about Jacksonvilles Historic
Cemetery, Silent City on the
Hill, is now available thanks
to Bill Miller, who along
with the assistance of his wife
Debbie, have turned years
of research and a love of
history, into a wonderful and
interesting read.
The book covers the history
of the cemetery, stories of its
residents, interesting facts
and trivia, those who have
and who now care for the
cemetery, maps, events and activities and
wonderful pictures.
Many of you know Bill and Debbie as
dedicated volunteers of the Friends of
Jacksonvilles Historic Cemetery helping
during our community clean-up days,
cleaning markers, and filming our yearly
Meet the Pioneers Programs. They have
also presented one of our recent highlypopular and successful History Saturday
Programs, A parents lament: The children
buried in the Jacksonville Cemetery.
Bill is a former Southern Oregon
Historical Society Historian and a
reporter and history columnist for the
Mail Tribune. When he and Debbie are not
out and about checking-out leads on a
story or researching one, they make their
home in Shady Cove.
The Millers have designated the Friends
of Jacksonvilles Historic Cemetery as
a recipient of a generous portion of the
proceeds from the sale of the book.
There will be a book signing and wine
tasting event on Thursday, August 7,
4:00-6:00pm at Caprice Winery, located
at 970 Old Stage Road, one mile north of
the Post Office, just outside Jacksonville.
Thank you and much appreciation to
Caprice owners Jeanne and Jim Davidian
for hosting this event.

e live in a beautiful place.

It strikes me each time I
return home from travelling
how comforted I feel by the patchwork
of farms and forests outlined from the
air, how I breathe a little more easily
passing the llamas
and sheep grazing
peacefully on the
hillsides of Hanley
road as I make my
way home.
The love of the
terrain here is one
of the reasons I
have become so
involved with the
work at Hanley
Farm. For me, it
embodies the best of what it means to
live in the Rogue Valley: a connection
to land and community that transcends
my day-to-day concerns. It makes me
feel that I am part of something larger,
something that will continue to exist
after my time here. A significant part
of Hanley continuing to exist, however,
depends on it becoming a truly vital
part of the communityand this is the
question that I would like to use this
column to ask: what would you, you
personally, like to see at Hanley Farm?
What would it take to make Hanley a
significant place for you?
I ask this because we have had multiple

events over the past few years: music
nights, dinners, childrens festivals, and
yet we have still not found a formula
to engage the larger community on a
consistent level. We do not have the base
of support to
continue the
efforts at the
Farm without
that engagement.
There is a
core group of
volunteers, most
of them seniors,
who dedicate
an enormous
amount of time
to making events
happen at the farm. They make these
events happen on an almost non-existent
budget by canvassing for donated items
and putting them together with impressive
creativity. But they need help, support, and
new energy: what would it take for you to
become involved? Please send your ideas
and feedback to hanleyfarmadvice@gmail.com.
If you do want to come and show
your support this month, we have an
evening of music with The Fret Drifters
happening on Saturday August 9th from
5:30-8:30pm. There will be local beer
and wine for sale, farm fresh food, and a
beautiful setting for the evening.

Pioneer Profiles: PETER BRITT, Part 3

Photographer, Visionary, Entrepreneur
by Carolyn Kingsnorth
In the mid-1800s, the promise of gold and free land lured fortune seekers and settlers to the
newly-formed Oregon Territory. They were soon followed by merchants who amassed their own
wealth selling supplies to the miners and farmers. This on-going series shares the stories of these
pioneers and their times.

by Newly-Installed Club President,

Dom Campanella
n July 1,
2014, I was
honored
to become the 26th
president of the Jacksonville-Applegate
Rotary Club. We are a group of volunteers
from the professional community who
belong to Rotary International, the
worlds largest civic organization, with
1.2 million women and men, and more
than 34,000 clubs in over 140 countries.
Rotary is dedicated to creating better
communities. Our goal is to improve the
lives of people by targeting
six areas: promoting peace,
fighting disease, providing
clean drinking water,
delivering healthcare to
mothers and children,
supporting education, and
growing local economies.
I've often marveled at Rotary's ability
to maintain its relevance and adapt to the
ever-changing needs of our communities.
This is achieved by frequent changeover
of leadership. From Rotary International
to the smallest Rotary club, all Rotary
presidents serve one-year terms.
This infuses fresh ideas and renewed
inspiration into all that Rotary does.
Training for Rotary presidents can seem
daunting. It is a four-month process that
begins each February, when incoming
presidents from the Pacific Northwest and
Canada gather in Seattle for a three-day
training seminar. Thereafter, regional
presidents-elect hold regular meetings to
share ideas, set goals, and troubleshoot
challenges. Training culminates with
attendance at the annual Rotary
International conference, which I was
fortunate to attend in Sydney, Australia.
The international conference was
simply incredible. For five days, Sydney
was a gracious host for 18,000 Rotarians
from around the globe. The conference
featured plenary sessions with brilliant
speakers, including Tony Abbott,
Australia's Prime Minister, and Bruce
Aylward, the Assistant Director-General
of the World Health Organization. In
addition, there were numerous small
group sessions focused on sharing ideas

about operating effective, sustainable, and
life-changing community service projects.
A constant theme was Rotary's fight
against the dreaded disease, Polio. After a
generation of work, Polio has essentially
been limited to three countries: Pakistan,
Afghanistan, and Nigeria. With one final
push, Rotary expects that, by 2018, Polio
will finally be eradicated from the Earth.
What a gift to the world that will be!
I came home from the international
conference energized and eager to get
to work. Our club has much planned for

this year. This fall, we are sending a team
of volunteers to Guatemala to deliver
and install in-home water filtration
systems for rural Mayan families. Here
at home, we are renovating a space at
the Children's Museum at the historic
Jacksonville Courthouse, delivering
dictionaries to our region's third graders,
and providing scholarships to local
college-bound students. We are also
proud to sponsor and partner with the
Interact Club at South Medford High
School. Our club is growing, and we're
excited about the future!
We invite you to join us for breakfast at
our lively club meetings each Thursday,
at 7:00am at Bella Union Restaurant in
Jacksonville. Better yet, buy a ticket for
our 5th-annual Salmon Bake dinner and
auction on September 14, at historic
Hanley Farm, where the proceeds will
support our ongoing clean-water projects.
Come see how we live each beautiful
day in Jacksonville by the
Rotary motto, "Service
Above Self."

City Snapshot
City Council, July 1 & 17Council
spent a good deal of its meeting time
focused on two issues: a section of the
sign code impacting businesses in the
historic core and formalizing Urban
Renewal financing arrangements for the
restoration of the historic courthouse and
other properties.
On the sign issue, after a city councilor
complained about a possible infringement
of the current sign code/ordinance,
(but failed to admit responsibility for
instigating the matter or following
proper protocol) the Jacksonville Police
Department was dispatched to the Orth
Building on South Oregon Street where
business owners were ordered to remove
sandwich board signs placed in front
of their businesses. The issue didnt sit
well with several business owners, or
Mayor Becker, who intervened on behalf
of a grateful business community and
offered a temporary fix. Although he
admitted it was not technically legal,
the mayor issued a temporary stay,
proclamation, permitting use of such
signage for 60-90 days with an order
for the Planning Department, Planning
Commission, City Council and staff to
fix the convoluted code. The mayor took
action, partly since much of the current
code is a mish-mash, in the midst of a
two-year-long overhaul. The mayor also
took action since he understands the need
for small businesses to attract customers
to locations that can prove difficult to see
at street level, especially those blocked
by landscaping and/or architectural
features. In the end, council opted not
to adopt a resolution, deciding instead
to let the code revision process proceed.

However, council voiced its agreement
with the spirit of the proposed resolution
which deemed sign complaints as minor
complaintscomplaints that are a waste
of valuable police time and energy. In the
meantime, sandwich board signs will be
permitted so long as they do not pose a
threat to public safety.
On the Urban Renewal front, council
formally signed-off on a $1 million loan
package for restoration of the historic
courthouse and other publicly-owned
properties. (Please see the article on UR
on page 16 and learn more about how
the program functions.) At this time, the
conceptual plan is to convert the first
floor of the courthouse building into city
and other offices and then sell the Miller
House, current home of city offices. Those
proceeds will be used to repay a portion
of the UR loan. On votes related to Urban
Renewal, the council supported using
Urban Renewal resources to fund the
project with the exception of Councilor
Wall who voted no on all UR matters.
In a related matter, Council President
David Jesser, who is also the Chair of the
Urban Renewal Board, raised a red flag
over two blighted properties at 180 & 186
California Street, owned by former Mayor
Clara Wendt. Jesser called attention to
apparent defects in building foundations,
structures and roofs, as well as the
unsightly appearance of bars on doors
and windows that further degrade the
ambiance and appearance of the historic
core. The council agreed that the situation
warranted serious attention.

A Few Minutes with the Mayor
Tony's Dam Column #6:

Final Design Elements to Breach the Dam
Thoughts on Thinking
by Tony Hess
by Paul Becker
ow many
of you
remember
one of the most
common commands in the English
language appearing in the business
community following the end of World
War 2? The command was short one
word and it seemed to be posted
wherever one worked, especially in the
tabulating department the precursor to
the modern computer center. The word
was THINK and it epitomized an entire
generation of workers exhorted by I.B.M.
to work not just harder but also more
intelligently.
Tom Watson, the
founder of I.B.M. coined
the phrase while sales
manager at N.C.R., took it
with him to I.B.M. in 1914
where he made it part
of the corporate culture.
He even trademarked
the word. It continues in
use today, although in
different forms such as
ThinkPad or ThinkCentre.
I remember its effect on
me in one of my first jobs
out of the army it made
me nervous and I didnt
like it. What if I didnt
think clearly enough
or often enough or at all? Working
the machines with that big THINK sign
staring down at me seemed almost
Chaplinesque in nature. Chaplins 1936
film Modern Times illustrated the plight
of modern man caught up in the machine
age. Here I was, fifteen years later,
commanded to think in an environment
requiring very little thought. Chaplins
task was to work an assembly line with
utmost efficiency mine was to process
tabulating cards rapidly and without
error. I remember thinking that thinking
would only slow me down. If that were
true, then it would be dangerous to think
since the clock was also my enemy. My

work was measured in physical output
not mental activity. Thinking didnt seem
practical. If I must think, then it seemed
far better to think of the girl next door.
This actually worked for awhile until I
found out she was thinking of someone
else.
Shall we consider it thusly: The
playwright, George Bernard Shaw
once boasted, "Few people think more
than two or three times a year; I have made
an international reputation for myself by
thinking once or twice a week." There now,
perhaps thinking is worth a try, although
thinking requires
effort.
Martin Luther King
once said, "Rarely
do we find men who
willingly engage in
hard, solid thinking.
There is an almost
universal quest for easy
answers and half-baked
solutions. Nothing
pains some people more
than having to think."
Putting thinking into
practice, this truth
became self-evident...
especially in the world
of politics. Politicians
would love to see you
stop thinking independently. Just look
at the world through their side of the
looking glass. The opposition would have
you look through the other side. There's a
better way... ignore them both and build
your own looking glass. Ignore the isms.
It's not easy. They will quote science,
religion, history, and even philosophy;
in the end you will only know the truth
if you think for yourself. The words of
Thomas Paine ring true even today, "When
men yield up the privilege of thinking, the last
shadow of liberty quits the horizon."
Maybe I'll put Tom Watson's old sign
THINKback up on my office wall.

This is the fifth in a series of articles following the process to breach the Jacksonville dam
and reservoir in order to comply with state and federal regulations. The articles will continue
through the construction phase.
he design of the new streambed

is very complicated and involves
the application of sophisticated
software and mathematical formulas.
Recently, I spent time with Joey Howard,
the principal engineer at Cascade Stream
Solutions who has been hired by the City
of Jacksonville to design the new stream
channel. Joey walked me through the
process, explaining the technical terms of
the science.
In nature, streams adjust to different
flows and will carve-out their own
channel, developing different scenarios
of streambeds. A flat meandering stream
will have a bed of fairly small rocks,
while a stream that has a steeper slope
may have a series of big rocks randomly
in the stream that slow the current and
push it side to side, absorbing the energy
in the water flow. Yes, flowing water
has energy, and the faster it flows, the
steeper the slope, with the greater volume
of the water increasing its energy level.
A commonly-seen, naturally-formed
streambed shape is a series of steps with
a waterfall at the top of the step, and the
water cascading down into a pool that
has been carved-out by the force of the

water. The water flow then climbs up a
little to get over the lip of this hollowedout rock tub, and picks-up speed to the next
step pool. This repeated process absorbs the
energy in the moving water, and reduces the
force that might tear into the embankments.
The channel of Jackson Creek above the
reservoir is a good example of a natural
step pool streambed. The design will
measure the potential energy force in
Jackson Creek by integrating the slope
of about 5 percent, and the expected
maximum 100-year flow in cubic feet per
second (CFS) to compute the size of the
biggest rocks needed to absorb the energy
and not be moved. Since granite weighs
165 pounds per cubic foot, the channel
will need to be lined with rocks for a
length of about 800 feet, so one possible
design might be a series of step pools each
about 100-feet long, each with a drop of
eight feet. The engineers and the city will
consult on the final design, which could
be either the step pool design or a straight
channel with a large stilling basin at the
lower end to absorb the water energy.
Stay tuned!

August 2014
by Erich & Matt Patten, Cutler Investment Group

Earlier this week, Matt and I found
ourselves in Chicago for business. As we
walked to our meeting, we strolled past
the Chicago Board of Trade building. This
icon of finance has housed the futures
and options exchanges since 1930. Today,
the exchange is called the CME Group,
a company whose roots go back to the
Chicago Butter and Egg Board. Looking at
such an historic building, and knowing that
today trading is dominated by electronic
transactions, got me thinking about the
changes we have witnessed in finance
in recent years. Building on last months
Cutler article about using history as a
guide for investing, lets look this month
at what advancements have been made for
investors, and how we have benefitted.
There are two primary ways that
finance has changed over the past
few decades; innovation and theory.
Innovation involves not only technology,
but also through financial products. The
most predominant example has been the
proliferation of exchange traded funds,
called ETFs. The first ETF traded in the
US, known as the Spider (short for
S&P Depository Receipts) appeared in
1993. ETFs have since become the 21st
centurys mutual funds, accumulating
more than $1.7 trillion in assets. ETFs
trade like stocks, typically carry low fees,
and allow investors easy access to various
asset classes.
Financial product innovation has
not just been the development of ETFs,
however. A type of retirement portfolio,
known as target-date funds, has
provided improved asset allocations
for 401(k) investors. These portfolios
systemically adjust the portfolio risk as
investors approach retirement and had
roughly $160 billion in assets in 2008. In
just a few years, these funds have grown
to over $670 billion in assets, showing just
how popular this innovation has been.
Investment theory is also constantly
evolving. At Cutler, we feel one of the
more important theoretical advancements
has been Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT).
MPT acknowledges that different types of
investments behave differently, and there
may be predictable patterns in the way
they react (to each other). For example,
stocks and bonds frequently do not move
in tandem. An investor can use MPT to

build a portfolio that reduces risk. This
theory has resulted in an industry-wide
shift in how Financial Advisors build
portfolios for their clients.
Speaking of Chicago, another financial
theory that has changed the industry
has its roots to both Matts and my alma
mater, the University of Chicago; efficient
markets theory. Conceptually, this theory
argues that outperforming markets is
impossible due to the price fully reflecting
the true value of an asset at any given time.
This theory has supported the growth of
ETFs, as investors focus more on costs of
an investment than the past performance it
has achieved.
While financial product innovation and
advancements of theory have changed
the way we invest, we have not yet even
identified the ways that technology has
changed finance! Just as most businesses
have been similarly impacted, technology
has allowed us to manage more
efficiently, effectively, and with greater
scale. 20 years ago, Cutler had a team of
employees dedicated to reconciling our
client statements with their custodial
statements. Today, this process is largely
done through automation. Like most
industries, technology has lowered the
costs to consumers, but the transition can
be difficult along the way. As investors,
we are looking for companies that can
improve the way society does business or
improves the performance of a business
through implementing new technologies.
Always be looking for improvements in
the way society does things- there just
may be an investment idea in there!

Jacksonville native Nick Card formally

received the Certificate of Nomination
for the Republican Party for his race for
State Representative in House District 5.
The district includes Ashland, Phoenix,
Talent, Jacksonville, parts
of south Medford and the
Applegate Valley.
Having recently won the
write-in campaign during
the May 20th primary
election, Nick received
the official certificate from
Secretary of State Kate
Brown notifying him that
he had been determined to
be the nominee.
Even though I knew I
had earned the majority of
the write-in votes, it was
gratifying to receive the
Secretary of States letter. It
was confirmation that my candidacy has
many supporters in our community, said
Nick. According to the county elections
office, Nick received 475 write-in votes,
the most of any Republican write-in
candidate in the county.
Nick Card, 25, was born and raised in
Southern Oregon and attended South
Medford High School where he graduated
as the Valedictorian. Subsequently,
he attended Harvey Mudd College in
Claremont, California where he received a
Bachelors degree in Engineering.
Oregon House Minority Leader, Mike
McLane, (R) District 55, said, I am very
impressed with Nick and the way he
ran his write-in campaign. It is good to
have an energetic young person working

to make things better for the state.
Nick may be young, but he is a very
thoughtful and strong leader. He cares
about helping Oregonians.
When asked why Nick
wanted to seek election as
a State Representative he
said, Having grown up
in Jacksonville, I always
wanted to return home to be
near my family and be able
to enjoy this beautiful area.
I know I am not the only
one frustrated with a lack of
jobs here. There are a lot of
young people that are forced
to leave home just to be able
to get a good job. Plus, there
are a lot of people here that
are under-employed.
Nick added, I think
we need better political leadership in
this area that listens to the business
community. Our district is home to a
vibrant arts scene, great livability, and
hardworking people. We need businesses
that will fit-in with our community
and provide jobs. The reason I decided
to run is that I feel I am better able to
bring strong economic vitality and
sustainability to our region.
The next step for the young candidate
is the General Election. I am excited to
continue the momentum Im eager to
help bring positive change to Southern
Oregon and look forward to discussing
issues of importance with the voters in
House District 5.

Urban Renewal De-Mystified

Editors Note: In recent weeks, the
Jacksonville City Council voted to borrow
and utilize up to 1 million dollars from its
Urban Renewal program to rehabilitate the
historic Courthouse for city offices and for
other approved uses. The following primer is
excerpted from a staff report provided by Elaine
Howard, the citys Urban Renewal consultant.
What is Urban Renewal?
Urban renewal is one of the few
tools for encouraging local economic
development. It is unique in that it has
its own funding source, tax increment
financing. The program is authorized
under state law and implemented locally
that allows for the concentrated use of
property tax revenues to upgrade certain
designated areas of a city or county.
These areas are called blighted by state
statute and typically contain sections of
a city that are underdeveloped and not
contributing fully to the local economy.
The area can have buildings in need of
renovation, properties which should be
developed or redeveloped, or utilities

and street and pedestrian systems in poor
repair or needing upgrading.
The underpinning theory of urban
renewal is that if these properties are
upgraded, they will contribute more
substantially to the local economy and to
the property taxes which support all of
the taxing jurisdictions.
What is the History of Jacksonvilles
Urban Renewal Program?
An urban renewal plan establishes
an urban renewal boundary, goals, and
objectives for the area, and outlines
projects and programs that will help
to improve the conditions in the area.
The plan also sets a limit on the amount
of money which can be used to fund
these projects and programs, called a
maximum indebtedness. The urban
renewal plan must be adopted by the
City Council. The City of Jacksonvilles
urban renewal plan was adopted in 2002
with the goals of conserving historicallysignificant places and properties,
insuring a more attractive, functional and
economically-viable city, encouraging the
expansion and development of businesses
that will produce jobs, and increasing
property values in the Area. The plan was
amended in 2014 to allow for the use of
Page 17
funds to upgrade publicly-owned historic
structures. (Beekman House, Beekman
Bank, Catholic Rectory and Courthouse,
received from Jackson County)
What types of Projects are Eligible
under Urban Renewal?
Construction or improvement of
public streets, sidewalks, utilities,
parks, and other public uses
Storefront improvements
Participation with developers for
property improvement
Rehabilitation of existing buildings,
historic or otherwise
How is an Urban Renewal Plan
Financed?
When an urban renewal plan is
adopted, the county assessor calculates
the total assessed value of the area and
establishes this value as the frozen
base. Growth above the base is called
the increment. Tax increment revenues
are the property tax revenues generated
off the increase in the assessed values
over the frozen base
(not including rates
for General Obligation
Bonds and Local Levies
approved by voters after
October, 2001).
How Does Tax
Increment Financing
Affect Overlapping
Taxing Districts?
Taxing jurisdictions
gain revenues through
the collection of property
taxes. Property tax
increases come through
new development
and the statutory limit of 3% increase
in assessed values on existing real
property. With tax increment financing,
the permanent rate property taxes on
the growth in assessed value in the
urban renewal area are allocated to the
Urban Renewal Agency and not the
taxing district. The taxing jurisdictions
are still able to collect the property tax
revenues from the assessed value of the
frozen base, but increases in revenues are
allocated to the Urban Renewal Agency
for use within the urban renewal area.
How Does Tax Increment Financing
Affect Property Tax Payers?
After an urban renewal plan is
adopted, taxpayers will see a line
item on their property tax statements
for urban renewal. This can be quite
confusing because even if you are not
physically located in the area, you will
see an indication of the impact of urban
renewal on your property tax bill. Your
overall tax bill does not increase, but the
allocation of revenues received from your
payment is changed as a portion of that
payment now goes to urban renewal.
This is called division of taxes and is
the administrative way assessors must
calculate the urban renewal revenue.

by Mark Von Holle
s this is the second of a two

part series, if you have not
already read the first column
(published in last months Jacksonville
Review) it will be most beneficial for you
to do so. Although those of us who call
the Rogue Valley home realize we have a
wonderful place to live, raise a family and
do business, evidenced by the statistics
previously shared, it is apparent that
far too much of our culture of caring is
borne of economic necessity. Just a brief
recap on a few primary indicators of the
magnitude of our challenges, Medfords
Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA
including all of Jackson County) has been
free-falling on the Milken Institutes list of
the Top 179 Best Performing Small Cities.
We have plummeted from #12 in 2004 to
#114 in 2014. We rank #160 for job growth
and #166 for wage growth. Our wages
have been in the bottom 7% for the lowest
in the U.S. for a number of years.
The state of Oregon allocates a
meaningful amount of the funds that are
generated through video poker proceeds
back to our counties specifically for
the purpose of economic development.
On the very (unfortunately) long list of
justifiable expenditures, the first item on
the list is Job Creation. About halfway
down the list, Public Education is
another legitimate expenditure. In 2014
the average per- county allocation of these
funds back to their respective economic
development enterprises was about
35%. Jackson County received $817k in
video poker proceeds. Southern Oregon
Regional Economic Development, Inc.
(SOREDIour regions primary go-to
economic development entity) received
$26k (3.6%) which is about 1/10th of the
average allocation every other county provides.
This is the same amount Jackson County
provided when SOREDI was formed
about 27 year ago. $26k!!! Seriously???
For many years (in Jackson County) these
video poker proceeds have followed the
path of least resistance and gone into the
libraries. Jackson County ranks dead last
for the contribution of these funds to our
regional economic development enterprise.
SOREDI receives just over 7% of Josephine
Countys video poker proceeds.
There was an excellent above-thefold story back in February in the Mail
Tribune that highlighted the contrast
in funding between SOREDI and its
sister organization, EDCO, (Economic
Development in Central Oregon) in Bend.
The cities in the Bend region that belong
to and support EDCO contribute $2.38
per citizen annually. In comparison, all
of the cities in Jackson and Josephine
County contribute only about $0.38
per citizen annually to SOREDI. The
majority of SOREDIs regional publicsector funding contributions have not
risen since the organization was founded.
Although SOREDI adds great value to our
regional economy, the limited resources
its understaffed team of dedicated
professionals has to work with is a big
part of what inhibits our community
from realizing its greater potential.
Based upon my perspective of working
within the system for the past eight years
altruistically, our regional economic
development reality over the past couple
of decades has basically been a self-fulfilled
prophecy of self-imposed limitations. The
communities that support EDCO invest
annually in recruitment alone an amount
that is close to SOREDIs annual budget.
Theres a very fitting saying that is
attributed to our buddy Confucius, man
who stand on mountaintop with mouth
wide open wait long time for roast duck to
drop in. The Rogue Valley is centrallylocated on the I-5 corridor between
Silicon Valley and the Silicon Forrest. As
we look skyward to all of the commerce
transiting between these flourishing
major markets, its almost as if were
hoping opportunities will drop out of
the sky upon us. We have significant
cost advantages
over Silicon Valley,
the L.A. basin
(and many other
major metropolitan
markets across
the U.S.). The vast
majority of our very
limited industrial land sits vacant decade
after decade. Since the decline in the
timber industry, our community lost its
foundation of family wage jobs. Without
that foundation, our regional economic
multiplier is not vibrant enough to
give adequate lift to all of the other
businesses that are dependent upon
what happens here.
Okay, now for the good news On
the aforementioned list, where so many
other MSAs are out-performing our
own, we rank #12 for our 5-year high-tech
GDP growth! Our region is recognized
for having 20 of 22 sectors of technology,
nine of which are equivalent and seven
actually exceeding national density
averages. Although our overall density
level is a bit lower than the U.S. average,
we have a much greater diversity. How
many high tech firms are represented
in our two county region? Im glad you
asked! The federal government breaks
down high tech into (14) different NAICS
sector codes. Among those (14) codes
we have 277 firms represented, which provide
about 2,800 jobs that average about $56k in
annual wages (not including benefits). Thats
about $154 million in annual payroll. A
credible multiplier for these jobs would
be x3, which amounts to about a half a
billion dollar impact annually on our regional
economy. WOW! Our high tech sector has
been organically growing and hiding in
plain sight for far too long. Its not smoke
and mirrors or wishful thinking! We have a
strong emerging tech sector!
I have to admit that I am as guilty as
anyone else is in terms of drinking the
negative Kool-Aid regarding how we
perceive that Oregon is not friendly
to business. This intoxicating drink
paralyzes many of us so we do not do
enough to change our circumstances
for the better in our community. Heres
what I found thats helped turnaround
my thinking With #1 being good,
Oregon currently ranks #12 in the U.S.
for overall business taxation (we almost
made the Top 10!). California on the other
hand is bringing-up the rear at #48. Oregon
is currently #17 for overall business
rankings. While theres certainly room for
improvement in that number, California
is #47. As challenging as conditions are in
Oregon, they are far worse in California.
California is currently ranked as the 8th
largest economy in the world. If Silicon
Valley was a nation, its GDP would
rank 19th in the world. Again, we have
meaningful cost advantages over Silicon
Valley and the L.A. basin. Although
the percentage may be a statistical blip,
there are many businesses relocating
(or at least expanding) out of California
on a regular basis. Those communities
that understand this phenomenon have
positioned themselves for success because
they developed the right strategy and
made the necessary investment to have
a conversation with these outwardlymigrating firms. This approach has proven
to be a boon for many other communities.
If others can do it, why cant we?
So, I looked around the country for
best-in-class modeling for communities
similar in size to ours that are very
successful recruiting businesses out of
California and found one that brought
in 75 80 businesses. Cmon, its not
rocket science. We are not talking about
recreating California or Silicon Valley
in the Rogue Valley. The majority of the
land in our region is controlled by the
federal government and Oregon has
the most restrictive zoning overlay of
all 50-states. We are also surrounded by

A Cup of Conversation
by Michael Kell
Culture of Civility
he city recently
mailed out
a notice to
all merchants that
city personnel can no longer spend any
time collecting on slow-paying accounts,
specifically business license and parking
district participation fees. The fines for
late payment will be assessed at or up to
a thousand dollars per day as determined
through a court hearing. (The average
combined fees per merchant are probably
around a few hundred dollars per year).
No signature, no dear so-and so, no
sincerely anybody.
Im breaking one of my cardinal rules
here but as a long-standing merchant I
had to shake my head when reading the
letter because it occurred to me this is a
classic example of the difference between
public and private. Im a realist so
understand there
is no free lunch
when it comes to
running a city or a
business. Without
timely revenue
streams, everything
comes to a halt
very quickly. Its
the method and
process wherein
the difference lies.
In private
enterprise, if I sent
out a notice like
this one to our
customers, wed
be out of business
the next day. From
time to time we
have to collect
from slow-paying business customers and
its never pleasant but always handled
with diplomacy and a personal touch.
Recently, we had a dreaded wholesale
price increase which required a hundred
personal phone calls and/or face-to-face
conversations. There is nothing like
looking someone in the eye to deliver less
than good news and everyone respects
and appreciates you in the end. In a
public domain, few care because there
is little fear of losing something when
there really should be. Please dont
misunderstand what Im saying. Im
not blaming the individual and not our
city hall per se. For almost a quartercentury, weve enjoyed great personal
relationships with dozens of outstanding
city personnel including the last of the
great small-town sheriffs like Mike and
Dave. Weve benefitted greatly from city

staffers going beyond and above what the
job required to keep things moving along
in our special little hamlet.
However, there is a broader culture of
government which produces insensitivity
to the very social norms and graces
required in personal relationships,
especially in the marketplace. I think
over decades this divide has been
unchecked and expanding dramatically.
Im sure this kind of letter would never
have been sent twenty-years ago and
not because city cash flow was freer
back then but because the culture of
civility never would allow it to happen.
All one has to do is look at the recent
arrogance and unaccountability of a few
Internal Revenue Service employees
and management personnel. This is an
issue transcending politics because its
something we all are
subject to regardless
of how we lean. Its
a human issue, a
civilization issue with
grave consequences
for everyone and we
had all better pay
attention.
Recently our
mayor stepped-in
to suspend a cityissued moratorium
on sandwich-board
advertising on the
streets of Jacksonville.
I think Paul saw
something inherently
wrong with not only
the ban on something
so essential to the
merchants livelihood but equally a
detachment of civility and sensitivity
in the process of how the ban was
implemented and enforced. Anyone who
doesnt think a dozen more customers
a day produced by a sandwich board
doesnt make a difference for the small
merchant and subsequent public treasury
is just not paying attention.
Thank you, Mayor Paul. I guess Im
not imagining things and my mother was
right. It is not so much what you say and
do but how you say and do it.
Be good not bitter.

isa and Josh

Carroll have
achieved an
amazing goal
providing nearly all
of their vegetable
needs for the year out of their own
garden! Simply calling their hoop house
and huge vegetable space a garden is
an understatement, though.
Two years ago, Lisa and Josh made
the decision to try and have early and
year-round food production off their
land. Education is their mantra; Lisa is
a teacher and Josh home-schools their
two children, Lilly and Mason.
The couple took advantage of the
OSU Extension Service classes,
Growing Agripreneurs and the
Small Farm course, and then felt
ready to tackle the entire project.
The problem was their home
and greenhouse on Perrydale
Avenue was maxed-out! Enter
Lisa's parents property off
Bellinger Lane with its 2 acres and
irrigation from a wellit was the
first step in their dream coming true. Last
Christmas, their present to each other
was a 48 X 30 hoop greenhouse kit. Every
weekend last winter, with step two in-place
they then built while seedlings grew in their
greenhouse at home. They tilled the soil,
prepared it with cover crops, then tilled it
again until ready to plant this past March!
Starting everything from seed is Lisa's
passion, so their crop production is
never-ending.
Seeds are
already in the
greenhouse at
home for the
next season's
planting,
while other
plants are
yielding their
bounty in and
around the
hoop house. The Carrolls are accustomed
to overwintering vegetables that they use
year-round, like carrots, beets, garlic, fava
beans, cauliflower, onions, and more, but
the big focus was trying to be successful
in early crops and in supplying 90% of
their household needs. Lisa was canning
tomatoes the first week of summer
break this year and commented, It is
just magical to see the transformation
from seed to food! It truly is a magical
transformation. The hoop house contains
rows and rows of beautiful chilies, (all
kinds that Josh has already made into
great hot sauces) peppers, ground cherries,
tomatillos, tomatoes, eggplants, melons,
beans and more.
Outside the abundant hoop house,
the beds hold sunflowers, potatoes (just
going in for late season), chard, beets,
and much more. A fun plant I spotted
was the amaranthbold, deep red, and
beautiful, it is loaded with calcium and

other nutrients and is a most interesting
plant. Small, it makes a red, bitey salad
green, but in full height, now reaching
Lisa's head, it goes to seed heads. Lisa
mentioned one of the seed heads had
seeded their entire supply of this years
crop, which shell harvest for cereal
grains! It is also a great trap plant
protecting others around it from bugs.
While they are totally organic, they deal
with bugs and pests as we all do. Lisa and
Josh both stressed how important it is to
get on top of a pest at first sight. With
the greenhouse environment, everything
is on fast-forward and moves faster! said

Josh. You have to get on it right away.
They love what they do...Josh loves
the rewards of spending a hot, sweaty
day and then sitting back and seeing the
results from his hard work. He loves the
joy in the accomplishment. Lisa said, I
love producing for ourselves! Like all
gardeners, vegetable farmers have their
special times in the gardenLisa loves
the morning
when its still
and cool and
she can see
the birds, pick
cucumbers and
feel the cool
breeze. Josh
loves dusk and
dawn, enjoying
the unique birds
that utilize each
time. He has a hummingbird that bids
him goodbye each evening as he closes up
the hoop house and heads home!
Little Lilly, age 7 , already has a
garden jobfinding ladybugs and taking
them into the hoop house. She is the
ladybug wrangler, according to Lisa.
At one point in our conversation, Lilly
brightened and said, I like to take care of
the squash and like to plant it, but it will
take me a while to learn to like it.
It overjoyed me to see Lilly working
alongside her parents and knowing the
family produces 90% of their vegetables
and that they know where their food
comes fromwhich in my opinion, is
how it should be!

Love Your Landscape by Adam Haynes

Water Conservation Tips for Healthier, Green Grass
ummer is definitely
here with temperatures
commonly soaring above
100 degrees, making it a challenge
to keep our landscaping and lawn looking green and
healthy. With current summer conditions, the demand
for water can be extreme but there are ways to keep
your water use low and your landscape looking great.
Usually, water waste comes from older irrigation
systems that are not properly maintained. How many
times have you noticed a grassy area being irrigated
when half of the water being applied is
running down the side walk and into
the street? These problems can be taken
care of with a little extra care by simply
going through the system and fixing and
adjusting whats not working well.
Depending on your soil type, the
amount of water it can retain varies.
Setting proper irrigation times for the
soil type can be important. Another
major factor is the amount of pop-up style sprinkler
heads used in a given area. Obviously, if the sprinkler
heads are not spaced properly, either too little or too
much watering is being applied to the turf.
Another factor in the amount of water needed is the type
of grass in your lawn. The most common grass in our area
is perennial rye. I like this grass for our specific climate
because of its seasonal versatility. Though it may require a
bit more water than a fescue-type grass, its worth it.
The style and type of sprinkler head is probably the
greatest factor in the amount of coverage and control you
have with irrigating turf areas. The most common type
of pop-up sprinkler is the spray head, which usually

applies way too much water in a short amount of time.
The turf and soil usually cannot retain this much water,
creating excess run-off. If you have this style of pop-up, then
its best to give your turf a short watering time a few times a
day. When I say short, I mean from 5 to 10 minutes at a time.
But my best suggestion is to change to another style of head
and get better coverage with an average of 1/3 less water use.
Hunter Industries make an irrigation head for popup- style sprinklers called MP rotators. I like these
for several reasons: they use less water, have superior
coverage, are user friendly,
adjust easily and use 1/3
less water. They cost a
little more but are worth
the investment.
Watering your grass early
in the morning is best, and
if you change to watering
twice a day during the
hottest part of the summer,
water late in the afternoon for the second time.
Fertilizing on a regular basis goes hand-in-hand with
a healthy lawn and maximizing water use. Grass that
is under-nourished appears as if it needs more water to
look good but probably just needs some food!
I hope these simple tips help you with your lawn and
landscape and inspire you to check the state of your
irrigation system, save water and have it look its very best!

The Weed Wrangler by Bob Budesa
lthough most plants

have completed their
life cycle by now, there
are a few that will continue
producing seed until the first frost, and as such, can still
be successfully treated.
Puncturevine (aka goatheads) is the first that comes to
mind. This plant will spring-up from prior years seeds
all summer long. If you find it in seedling stage, you can
spray it, pull it, dig it. If the plant is older and bearing
seed, youll have to pull it. Puncturevine is a tap-rooted
annual, and can be easily extracted by placing a claw
hammer on its root crown, and giving a tug. Some of the
older seed will have already dropped off, and some will
be ready to, so handle this plant carefully. Putting it in
a plastic garbage bag is the best waydont just fling it
aside. The seeds are still viable, and youll be fighting
more plants over the next 10 years if you do!
Whatever you do, dont spray puncturevine after it has
grown to dinner plate size. Sure, youll kill the plant, but
the seeds will remain viable. Also, dont start hacking at
it with a shovel or hoe! The same result will occurseeds
Its Not Too Late!

will become dislodged and remain in the soil. Handle
this plant carefully.
Another plant that may still be producing seed is
yellow starthistle. By August, most plants will have
already produced flowers and seed, but there may be
some late bloomers. If plants have yellow flowers, its
best to bag these plants in order to keep the seed from
falling to the ground. If flowered starthistle is pulled
and dropped, the plant will put all its last resources into
making sure the seed matures at the expense of the green
stalks and leaves. So again, handle it carefully to keep
seeds intact, and place them in plastic garbage bags.
If weeds in plastic garbage bags are left in the summer
sun, theyll quickly rot. In fact, the heat within the bags
may be so intense that it will also kill any seed. Later on,
these bags can be taken to the local landfill, where, under
a few tons of refuse, theyll be rendered harmless!

Living the Rural Dream
by Sandy J. Brown, AICP
any people move to our area with the dream

of living in the country. I have to admit, my
husband was one of those people. I myself
am happy to have some of the conveniences of city life:
being able to grab some milk quickly at the store, have
other kids around for my son to play with, or not having
to worry about the well pump freezing in the wintertime.
If youve had a dream about living in the country,
there are a number of issues unique to rural properties
that you should consider before you buy. Here are
several of the most important to consider:
Drinking WaterUnlike city homes, which typically
access water through a public, municipal water supply,
water for a rural property is more likely to come from a
private well. If you get your water from a private well, you
are responsible for well maintenance, testing and operation.
Municipal health regulations require that public
water is routinely tested to ensure it contains no toxins
or harmful impurities. As a homeowner in a city, you
can be pretty sure the water is clean and safe. A rural
homes well, however, is typically untreated, and its
quality can be uncertain.
Oregon law requires testing of domestic well water
during a real estate transaction, requiring the seller
to have the well tested for arsenic, nitrates and total
coliform bacteria. If the test results show the water is
unsafe for drinking, a filtration system might solve the
problem. If not, you might need a new well. Either way,
obtaining a clean water source can be potentially be
costly and time consuming.
Sufficient WaterIt is also important to research
how water thats available to the property can be used.
Water rights law is very complexmaking sure you
understand your rights and usage is critical.
Septic SystemsIn a rural area, the property is more

likely to use a private septic system for waste disposal.
Septic systems can malfunction, and require maintenance
and pumping.
If the property you are considering has its own septic
system, get a septic inspection before you buy. Find out
its condition, when it was last pumped, how its been
maintained, and if problems exist. If a new septic is required,
you could be in for a large, expensive construction project.
Boundaries and EasementsRural homes typically
have far more land around the house than a city lot,
which means a greater chance for boundary line and
easement issues. If questionable, a survey can verify
where the property boundaries are located and will show
whether anyone else has permission to use portions of the
land (by showing the location of any easements) or if a
neighbors improvement (such as a shed or driveway) is
located on the property (by showing any encroachments).
Be sure to check your title insurance report carefully.
Use of PropertyRural property owners are more likely
to want to use their property for a variety of uses (not
just residential). If you buy acreage, you might consider
raising keeping livestock or growing crops. Whether you
can carry-out your desired uses depends on the zoning
ordinances affecting the property. You should check with
the applicable planning department to determine how you
can use the property. Check the zoning of neighboring
properties as well, to make sure your neighbors
prospective uses are compatible with yours.

of course he is! knowing that this sort of lucky thing
happens to me all the time!
The following afternoon, Mark Humpal, a tall, mildmannered, casually-dressed art expert, who looks a bit
like Clark Kent, entered my office on California Street.
After gazing through his loop at telltale brush strokes
and other features, he carefully examined the signature.
Then, he looked up and smiled, Congratulations,

youve done well, this is an original Dorland Robinson
painting. I called Joelle right away to share the good
news and thanked her for her help.
Editors Note: As it turns-out, the painting I purchased
isnt going anywhereits not being sold in a Portland
gallery and it isnt being auctioned-off. Gladiolas is
staying where it belongs, here in Jacksonville. When
the city completes the restoration of the Courthouse
for city offices, Im hoping a permanent Jacksonville
Artists exhibit space will be created. When that happens,
Gladiolas will be the first piece donated to the city. Its
my hope that we can keep Jacksonvilles art in Jacksonville
for all to enjoy and will encourage others to do the same!
Oh, and I later confirmed that Marjorie Edens had
indeed purchased Gladiolas at an SOHS auctiontype event, after an opportunity presented itself
which she couldnt pass up!

very
generation
of children
and parents have experienced some sort
of grief based on generalized behavior
and chosen parenting style. I imagine
the Cave Dwelling Generation told their
Hunting & Gathering Generation children
that their Stone Age Generation children
were doomed dreamers, wasting their
time chiseling away, at what, a wheel?
Certainly, they were destined to fail and
send society rolling backwards!
Ive always been fascinated with the
stereotypes of generations and how they
evolve over time. The key phrase here
is how they evolve over time. I find it
ironic, that if you research past generation
characteristics, the negative behaviors, or
generational growing pains, are painted
in a much more pleasing, positive,
socially-acceptable light.
Consider Early and Late Boomers,
1945-1965. Born in the aftermath of WWII,
came of age during the Vietnam era. This
generation survived wars and conflicts,
advanced civil rights, challenged social
norms and traditions. They opened
the door to individuality, and freedom
of choice. All the while their Silent
Generation parents and GI or Greatest
Generation grandparents believed they
were about sex, drugs and rock-n-roll.
What about Generation X, born 19651985, my generation? Our Boomer parents
and Silent-Gen grandparents thought we
were materialistic, selfish, lazy slackers
who created really bad music! We were
not expected to amount to much more
than a drain society. However, many
Gen-Xers picked up the torches their
parents and grandparents left behind,
determined to advance personal
freedoms and the war on equality for
all. Today we are considered highlyeducated, proponents of diversity,
celebrate individuality and are extremely
active within our communities.
Then theres Generation Y, or the
Millennials, who, most recently, came
of age during 1995-2006. They are on
the cusp of their negative to positive
stereotype transition. Initially, criticized
as the ADHD generation, who are vain
because they invented the selfie, also
considered lazy with a strong sense of
entitlement, a short attention span and
require constant praise. Despite any
amount of truth in those stereotypes,
we are now starting to realize that
they are the most technologicallysophisticated generation in world history,
they prefer working in teams, and no
previous generation as ever been more
environmentally aware, nor have they
had as much trouble finding employment;
unless you compare them to the GI or

Greatest Generation, who survived the
Great Depression.
We are currently raising Generation
Z, born 1995-2012. Some of the
stereotypes about our children include:
they are spoiled, entitled, indulged,
unimaginative, addicted to video
games, require constant entertainment
and instant gratification. With that
said, consider this: based on history
and similarities of economic and social
environments of the past, sociologists
suggest Gen-Z will share many
characteristics with the Silent Generation,
born 1925-1945.
Today the Silent Generation is known
for unparalleled economic stability,
wealth and scientific advancement.
They were artistic and social innovators,
with the courage to initiate the civil
rights movement with such modesty
it ultimately dubbed them the Silent
Generation. They are not remembered or
revered for elevating cigarette smoking
to a high social status level, unethical
experiments, or thought of negatively
for questioning authority. What was
considered errors or faults are now
thought of as growing pains and have
given way to their positive contributions.
The bottom line is negative generational
generalizations are formulated before the
children have a chance to mature and sculpt
a social masterpiece out of the clay they
have been given. They are navigating in a
society that we, all generations of the past,
have created for them; which we tend to
view as unsatisfactory until it has passed.
To parents and observers I offer my
own opinion and unsolicited advice:
ParentsOnly you know your childs
strengths and weaknesses, what they
are capable of, what motivates them
and their breaking points. You know the
history and connections behind every
circumstance; therefore, you are the only
person qualified to predict the outcome of
a situation and it is you who will endure
the consequences of your actions; not the
observer. Consider the validity and the
source of the observer; there is indeed
a lifetime of knowledge and experience
possibly being offered. But most
importantly, continue to support, guide
and discipline your children, with love.
ObserversPlease keep in-mind no one
is perfect, most of us are doing the best
we can with what we have. While your
concerns may be valid, what you may
witness and pass judgment on is a microsecond on the parenting clock; which is
inclusive of time that has passed and time
to come. And generally speaking, based
on historical precedence, this generation
will not only survive, but thrive in time.

Living in Jacksonville: A Kid's Point-of-View
by Ashleigh Scheuneman
acksonville living. Many people

enjoy it, but why? Simply because
of all the fun things to do in
Jacksonville! As for me, I love to take a
walk on the Jacksonville trails. My family
and I identify flowers and
animals, and go see the car
in the hole, an interesting
and fun place to visit along a
trail. When we are with our
Nana, she usually takes us
on a death march, which,
believe it or not, is actually
quite fun! We always
end our adventure with
a stop at the Good Bean,
where I enjoy a delicious
Jacksonville Thrill topped with
whipped cream. A Jacksonville Thrill,
is a cold smoothie-type coffee drink that
comes in two different flavors: mocha and
vanilla. I usually get vanilla.
Another thing I just love about
Jacksonville is how compact it is. This
means I can walk a block or two to some
of my friends houses and hang-out. We
often enjoy a walk exploring Jacksonville,
window shopping along the main street
and going into some of our favorite places.
When I am shopping in Jacksonville,
I like to take a peek in Scheffels Toy
Store because of all the toys in it! One
step through the blue door and you are
surrounded by toys, from Breyer Horses
to Legos to puzzles, its a kids dream
come true!
Another fun (and not to mention
yummy) place to visit is the Candy Shoppe
where you can go to buy $0.25 pieces of
candy to share among your friends. Some of
the candies that I buy are the marshmallow
circus peanuts, peanut-buttery Reeses
Pieces, and sour gummy worms.
For me, in the summer, its about
making the most of the break, having fun,
and staying cool. This is easily-managed
when I ride my bike down to Rays

market and buy $0.99 ice cream. They
always give you huge, cold, delicious
heaps of it, and there are several flavors
to choose from. My favorites are Mint
Chocolate-Chip, CookieDough, and Java Thunder.
Another fun activity
for us kids to do is to visit
the local park, Albert Doc
Griffin Park. Its rather
refreshing on a hot day
because of the fun water
features it offers. A way to
make walking back home
more interesting is to
name a few of the features
that we see. For instance, we have to
walk over a bridge to get to and from
the park, so weve named the bridge the
Troll Bridge. We named it the Troll
Bridge because when my sisters and I
were younger, my mom would pretend
that there was a troll underneath to make
us move faster. We know better now,
though. Its also rather interesting when
you happen to walk by a historic home to
recall who lived in that house, and what
happened there. For example, one house
has a grave in the front yard, though we
dont know where the grave is. The grave
has been there a long time. It was there
before the cemetery was built. That is why
there is a grave in the front yard.
Whether its summer, fall, winter, or
spring, theres always something for a kid
to try and do in Jacksonville, Oregon.

PSA Test for Prostate Screening

by Daniel Khalil, MD,
Asante Physician Partners, Grants Pass
Q: As a male
turning 55-years-old
next month, should
I consider having a
PSA screening for
prostate cancer even
if I feel completely
healthy?
A: Even if you eat
right, and exercise,
its important to get
checked for silent
conditions that might lurk beneath the
surface. Prostate cancer is one of them.
Approximately 200,000 men are
diagnosed with prostate cancer each
year, and many experience no symptoms.
Sadly, prostate cancer is a leading cause
of cancer death in men, second only to
lung cancer.
But it doesnt have to be.
A simple screening test called a PSA
can detect cancer early and significantly
increase your chances of beating it. This
special blood test measures the level of
protein produced by your prostate, called

the prostate-specific antigen. A high PSA
reading could be a sign of cancer, or it
might mean your prostate is enlarged,
which is common as men age. Your doctor
can refer you for more tests to determine
whether or not you have cancer.
For men between ages 55-69, and for
men over 40 with a family history of
prostate cancer, regular screenings are
vital to long-term health. A PSA can be
performed as part of a routine physical,
along with a digital rectal exam. Together
these screenings can detect cancer
in the prostate before you show any
symptomsand before its too late.
Dont put it off. Make an appointment
with your doctor today to get a PSA
screening test for prostate cancer. Your
life just might depend on it.
Daniel Khalil, MD, provides specialized
surgical and nonsurgical care for patients
with urological issues, including prostate
problems and kidney stones. He can be reached
at 541-507-2020. See Asante ad on page 37.

Legendary Burgers & Cash Back! ~ in the Heart of the Applegate Valley
While passing through town, my family and I decided to
stop and see what the Applegate Store and Cafe had to offer.
Over the past few weeks, Id heard about their legendary burgers
and thought it was time to put those rumors to the test. I must
admit, it was the best decision I made that week! After one bite,
I knew the rumors were truethe meat was cooked just right
it was juicy, not dry. The buns were nicely toasted with a hint of
butter, making every bite that much better. Now, I just pass-by
the other hamburger places, knowing they cant compare. And
just when I thought it couldnt get any better, as a Lyoness Member I received money back on my purchase through
their participation in the Lyoness Loyalty programright from my phone app. The Applegate Store and Cafe has
definitely won my loyalty and to this day, that burger remains unmatched! ~Satisfied Customer

onsider this: One in four

children has a visionrelated problem, yet only
14 percent receive a comprehensive
eye exam before entering school. It is important to
have your childs eyesight examined before they enter
school, when their visual abilities are developing. In
fact, we recommend having their eyes checked when
they are six months, three and five years old. Children
often do not realize that they have a vision problem,
because they think that the way they see is normal.
The basic vision skills needed for school are:
Near vision. The ability to see clearly and
comfortably at 10-20 inches.
Distance vision. The ability to see clearly and
comfortably at 20 feet and beyond.
Binocular coordination. The ability to use both eyes
together.
Eye movement skills. The ability to aim the eyes
accurately, move them smoothly across a page and
shift them quickly and accurately from one object
to another.
Focusing skills. The ability to keep both eyes
accurately focused at the proper distance to see
clearly and to change focus quickly.
Peripheral awareness. The ability to be aware of things
located to the side while looking straight ahead.
Eye/hand coordination. The ability to use the eyes
and hands together.

by Hillary Brown, Public Relations Coordinator,

Providence Medford Medical Center
iking local trails is one of the joys of living

in southern Oregon, but it also poses risks
doctors want you to know about.
Lyme Disease is the most commonly-reported illness
caused by bug bites in Oregon, says Cory Bergey,
D.O., medical director of Providence Medford Medical
Centers emergency department. Its not the only thing
that ticks carry, though. They also carry Rocky Mountain
Spotted Fever and other miserable types of infections.
In 2013, 42 cases of Lyme Disease were reported to
the state, 14 of which were in southern Oregon. While
Lyme Disease isnt a major threat, it can cause significant
damage to the brain and body if contracted.
The ticks that carry infections are different from
wood ticks commonly seen after hikes. They can be
ten times smaller and easier to miss. Meanwhile, the
tell-tale, bulls-eye rash people develop after a tick bite
is only seen in 60 percent of Lyme Disease cases. Thats
why experts at Providence Medford Medical Center say
prevention is the key.
There are several things you can do to protect
yourself, Bergey says. Be sure to wear light-colored
clothing so ticks are easier to spot. Also, wear long
sleeves, tuck pants into socks and check your entire body,
including your scalp, for ticks after youve been outside.
Massage Therapy and Esthetics You Can Trust

Spas Professionals have extensive
experience, advanced skills and true
passion for all things SPA.
Be sure to tell your optometrist if your child frequently:

Loses their place while reading.
Avoids close work.
Holds material closer than normal.
Tends to rub their eyes or squint.
Has frequent headaches.
Turns or tilts head to use one eye only.
Makes frequent reversals when reading or writing.
Uses finger to maintain place when reading.
Omits or confuses small words when reading.
Consistently performs below potential.
Many schools offer a basic vision screening. We
recommend taking that a step further and bringing
your child in for a more comprehensive exam where
they can be treated immediately if there is a problem.
Family optometrists use kid-friendly tools and
techniques when it comes to conducting these exams.

appointment at 541-899-2020. See ad this page.

If you do find a tick, theres no need to panic. Doctors

believe it takes 24 hours for an infected tick to transfer
Lyme Disease to a person. If you do find a tick and
develop signs of illness within two weeks, see a doctor
immediately and be sure to mention the tick bite.
Dr. Bergey says you shouldnt let your fear of Lyme
Disease keep you from the outdoors, though.
Dont let a fear of ticks keep you from enjoying
everything southern Oregon has to offer, but do be smart
about prevention.
See Providence ad on page 3.
The tick on the left is a black-legged tick (bad,) the one on

the right is a wood tick (not as bad).

Joyfull Living
by Louise Lavergne
The Vibration of Intentions
he power of
intention is a
phenomenon
that has been
scientifically measured in many studies,
like the one Dr. Masaru Emoto did with
water (go to my blog or the online version
of the Review for link).
This particular study took water
samples infused with spoken and written
intentions like peace,
love, truth etc. The frozen
water revealed beautiful,
symmetrical crystal
formations. When darker
emotions, like anger and
hate, were directed to the
water, the formations were
unbalanced, disconnected
and bereft of beauty. Our
body, being about 60%
water, responds to the vibrations of our
thoughts and intentions.
Positive intentions and affirmations
become much more successful when
they are not fighting negative thoughts
in our sub-conscious mind. Dr. Emotos
study with water also showed how sound
vibrations affects the water crystals. That
is why people have reported having
such a deep and lasting affect from my
sound healing sessions and gatherings.
The powerful sounds from the bowls
and gongs can bypass the judgments and
resistance of the mind so the body can
receive the harmonious vibrations they
create. The gongs particularly affect the
Hypothalamus gland where emotions
are stored and released into the nervous
system. The combination of the various
yogic breathing and movement techniques
along with sounds also support your
nervous system to create a harmonious
flow in all the body systems, to allow the
body and mind to relax deeply. (Our next
gathering is Sunday, August 10).
We often have the best of intentions, but
when we focus on what we dont want
or dont have, it can keep us stuck in a
reality that does not reflect our intentions.
For example, when someone says, I
wish I had more money! it activates old
belief systems of scarcity stored in the
bodys energetic system. In my online
class Healing your Self-worth & Spiritual
Nature Through the Chakras, we learn
how to identify and clear the old stories

and negative thoughts that are holding us
back. Its been amazing to see the positive
empowering effect it has had on so many
participants. We have just started a new
4-week intensive and its not too late if
you want to join us. If you feel trapped
by repeating patterns and stories that do
not reflect your intentions, get help. Life
is a precious gift. When we take time to
connect with peace and
stillness, the muddy
waters created by the
storms of life can clear
and we can find our
way to Joy!
When we take
actions that support
our intentions our
entire body system
realigns with a more
supportive and empowered way to
navigate. It is even more powerful when
we get to this as a group. That is one of
the main reasons we have created our
JoyFull Living Community. It is a virtual
community of conscious, like-minded
individuals from all over the world,
with a diverse spiritual path, united by
the desire to live life more deeply and
joyfully. Your JoyFull Living Community
membership offers you one free monthly
online meditation class or join our paying

Cool as a Cucumber
Escape the Heat with relaxing spa treatments...
always encourage my clients to

choose a form of exercise they enjoy
so they will be more likely to do
it regularly and stick with it. So when
you close your eyes and imagine your
favorite form of movement, what comes to
mind? Some people might say stretching,
restorative Yoga or something relaxing,
because lets face itit feels good and
its gentle! But just because stretching
isnt necessarily strenuous doesnt mean
there are no real benefits. Stretching and
flexibility training have several benefits
and is one form of exercise that is enjoyable
to most because of its relaxational qualities.
On the flip side, for some, stretching takes
the back seat to thier exercise routine.
Flexibility is truly needed for everyday
functioning and to perform regular
activities with ease, such as getting out of
bed, lifting children or doing household
chores. The benefits of a regular stretching
routine are vast and include increasing
your mobility as you age, increasing range
of motion of your joints, reducing chronic
back pain, preventing falls, improving
posture, and reducing risk of injury. It also
enhances your cardiovascular performance
as well as muscular conditioning.
So how much stretching do you need to
do and what kind? Here are some simple
stretching guidelines to get started with:
Dont overdo it; work within your limits.
Breathe comfortably. Exhale as the
muscle lengthens to assist in relaxation.
Perform flexibility exercises for each
muscle group 3-7 days per week.
Work with warm muscles because
they lengthen more easily and with
less discomfort. The best time to do
flexibility training is after a cardio
workout. Static stretching should not
be your warm-up!
Stop and stretch while on a hike or
walk around town or your backyard.

Bending Over Backwards
by Kyleen Brodie, LMT

The Elements Massage Therapy LLC
rom picking up your child to tying

your shoes, our days are filled
with bending and lifting. For such
simple tasks, a lot of things can go wrong!
The first point to realize when bending
over or lifting something up is that your
waist is not a joint. It is the area between
your rib cage and your pelvis and is not
meant for hinging. When you bend over
at the waist, (creating a rounded back)
you create a great amount of stress on
your back. When you add weight to the
mix by lifting an object, such as
a child, you are just asking for
trouble.
Proper bending actually
involves three sets of joints:
ankles, knees, and hips. These
joints are designed for this
movement and when done
properly help protect your back
from injury. Initially, this may seem a bit
involved for such a simple movement.
However, getting into the habit of proper
body mechanics will save you time (and
money!) in the long run.
Proper posture throughout the day not
only protects your joints, but can also help
limit the amount of kyphosis, or forward
curve of the upper back, according to
the National Osteoporosis Foundation.
So keep in mind these tips for proper
bending and lifting:
Three Tips for Bending
1. Keep your feet fully on the floor
throughout the whole movement. Do
not lift your heels.
2. Keep your knees directly over your feet.
If your knees fold inward or outward,
adjust the position of your feet.
3. Bend forward at the hips (not the

waist!) and maintain a neutral/
straight back.
Bending at the hips may require you to
lower yourself further in order to reach
an object on the ground. Over time, this
will seem normal and your legs will build
strength. Keep in mind: your legs are built
for power and lifting, your back is not.
Tips for LiftingGet close to the
object you plan to lift and be sure your
hips are squared up (you are facing
it directly).
Bend from the
hips, knees and
ankles and be
sure to keep
your spine in a
neutral position.
No matter how
low the object is,
your back should stay in a relatively
straight line while your legs lower
your torso within reach of the object.
This is especially important for people
lifting small children throughout the
day! Use the power of your legs to
stand up while bringing the object up
with you, avoiding any twisting while
performing the action.
Just a small amount of attention to these
two simple tasks will save your back a
great deal of pain in the long-run.

Soul Matters
by Kate Ingram, M.A.

SBNR
Page 33
heres a meme going around these

days called Spiritual But Not
Religious, and its growing like
gangbusters. (There is also the lesserdiscussed Religious But Not Spiritual,
which is a topic for another day.) Like
all memes, it hops from one person to
the next without great awareness of
where it came from or what it means, so
I thought it high time that we all get on
the same page.
On the surface, Spiritual But Not
Religious(or SBNR for short) delineates
one who claims no affiliation with a
particular spiritual dogma. People who
identify as SNBR are sometimes referred
to as Spiritually Independent, or my
personal favorite, the unchurched. (Is
this a noun? Verb? Adjective?)
SBNR says, Im not an atheist, but
neither do I fit in a neat, well-defined
box. It says something, but not much.
One never really
knows what a person
is saying when
they say they are
SNBR; it can prove
a very interesting
conversational rabbit
hole to explore.
Sometimes the rabbit
hole is elaborate and
deep, sometimes it is
quite shallow. One
never knows.
Lets start with
what SBNR is not: It is
not donning crystals,
buying every self-help
book published, or paying for expensive
retreats to Sedona to sit in an ersatz sweat
lodge. These things may be part of ones
spiritual journey but they do not, in and
of themselves, make one spiritual. In fact,
they can often lead one down the slippery
slope of spiritual materialism, which
belongs more to ego than spirit and is a
very shallow hole indeed.
To be Spiritual-But-Not-Religious is to
be open to transcendent reality, meaning
a belief or awareness of a reality beyond
the five-sensory world. It holds that one
is more than ones body or mind or ego
identity. It acknowledges the beingness
of all things and believes that everything
is an aspect of the One Thing: call it
God, Spirit, the Universe, the Divine,
Consciousness, or Love.
To be spiritual is to be in conscious
relationship with ones deeper Self,
with the earth, and with the soul of all
things seen and unseen. This relationship
has no codified directive, no particular
modality of worship, no intermediary.
It is a relationship rooted in an internal,
intuitive, personal experience of the AllThat-Is. One discovers what one believes,
rather than steps into a ready-made
theology. Its rather like the difference
between brewing coffee at home or going
to Starbucks for a mocha frappuccino.
You may be wondering, and rightly
so, whether a religious person cant
also be spiritual, and the answer is yes:
by a different definition. If one defines
spiritual as expressing values of
kindness and compassion and generosity,
then yes, one can be religious (belonging
to a particular faith) and spiritual.
The emphasis of Spiritual-But-NotReligious, however,
is a uniquely
personal journey of
discovery of ones
relationship to the
ineffable. Religious
denominations
have very specific
creeds that one
must accept in
order to be part of
that community.
ManyI dare say
mostreligions
are outright
exclusionary,
believing their faith
is the One and Only True Way; they have
a world view of us and them, where
spiritual sees only us. Exclusivity and
spirituality are mutually exclusive.
Ultimately, whether youre SBNR,
Muslim, Baptist or Druid, what matters
is not what you are, but who you are.
Actions speak louder than labels.
Anyone who is open-hearted, openminded, and lives a life of lovingkindness, compassion, and generosity is
AOK in my book.
KATE INGRAM, M.A., is a therapist,
soul coach, and award-winning author. Shes
unabashedly SBNR, a bit OCD, and quite
fond of PBS. She was recently invited to join
AARP, which made her LOL. For more, please

Trail Talk

Cool Hikes on a Hot Day
here are
many great
hiking
trails to choose
from in the Jacksonville area, but when
the daytime temperatures are in the 90s
or higher, it becomes more of a challenge
avoiding the heat. Here are some
suggested hikes to keep the heat at bay:
If youre a 7:00am hiker or
runner, the trail you choose
probably doesnt matter but
this makes for an excellent
time to hit three trails in Forest
Park where it may be too hot
later in the morning: North
Canyon Vista, Upper Granite,
and Naversen Family trails
offer great views of deep
canyons and the Rogue Valley.
For hikers waiting until
9:00am and looking for
comfortable, shady trails,
check-out the Beekman
Woods trails or Sarah Zigler
Trail in combination with
the Britt Ridge trail in the Jacksonville
Woodlands Trail System.
If you find yourself hiking later in
the morning or afternoon when the
temperature has spiked and is not very
pleasant and COOL is what you need, the
Forest Park has several deep canyon trails.
Depending on how far you care to hike,
start at the trailhead sign for Norling
Trail in parking lot P-6. (After crossing
the creek, go left on Norling Trail.) Stay
on the Norling Trail until it intersects
the Canyon Falls trail on your left (about
1/2 mile.) Note: Norling Trail will cross
Reservoir Road about half way to the

Canyon Falls trail.
On many days, youll notice cool air
coming down the canyon air shed at this
junction. Stay on Canyon Falls for the
next 1/2 mile until you reach the sign for
Shade Creek Trail on your left, which
takes you another 3/4 mile. At this point,
you have some choices to consider,
including
retracing your
hike or going
back to the
beginning of
Shade Creek
Trail, turning left
to parking lot P-3
and following
Canyon Vista
Trail 3/4 mile
to its junction
with Jackson
Creek Trail (on
your right) and
following this
for 1 1/4 miles to
its junction with Canyon Falls Trail. At
this point, go left on Canyon Falls which
will take you back via Norling Trail to
parking lot P-6 where your hike began.
Maps and trail brochures for the
Woodlands trails are located at the
Rich Gulch Trailhead, the Sarah Ziegler
Trailhead in the Peter Britt Gardens, and
the CC Beekman Arboretum. Trail maps
are also located in the Historic Beekman
Bank Kiosk at 3rd and California Streets.
Maps of both trail systems may also be
picked up at Jacksonville Visitors Center
next to the Post Office.
ATA Sturgis Meadow & Mt. Elijah Hike

The Applegate Trails Association
invites you for a rousing, high-country
loop hike in an overlooked corner of the
Siskiyou Mountains on Sunday, August
24th. Escape the heat of the valley to
the refreshing breezes blowing at 5000
elevation. Our foray into this unprotected
wilderness takes you along a mountain
brook and through stately forests to
the gorgeous, flower-filled expanses of
Sturgis Meadows subalpine area. As
though the meadows themselves are not
enough, well continue the tour along a
view-filled ridge, skirt above the bluffs
of Bigelow Lakes basin, and on to the
summit of Mt. Elijah. Named for the
intrepid explorer of the Applegate region,

Elijah Davidson, the inspiring vistas
sprawl out in all directions.
At 5 1/2 miles total and with 1350
feet of elevation change, this hike is
rated difficult. Hikers should wear
appropriate clothing for the weather and
sturdy footwear. Please bring adequate
water and leave your pets at home. ATA
appreciates a $5 donation at sign- in.
We meet 9:00am, Sunday, August 24th,
at the Applegate Store at 15095 Hwy
238. RSVP is appreciated by contacting
David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or david@

ummer is in full-swing
and that means more time
on the road. If you are like
my family, your dogs go with you
everywhere and look forward
to road trips as much as you do.
However, sometimes travel can be stressful to petsa bit
of proper planning on your part can ease the tension felt
by them and other family members. Obviously, there are
some pets that are better left at home which is where a
good boarding facility or a capable
pet sitter can be a true asset. For
those of you who are planning
on traveling with your pets this
summer, here are a few tips:
First and foremost, it is
important to make sure your pet
will be welcome upon arrival at
your travel destination. A quick
phone call ahead or quick search
online will provide you with pet
friendly destinations, campground
regulations, and more useful
information. I recommend that
you extend the same courtesy
to family and friends when
planning a visit by making prior
arrangements for your pet. A simple phone call shows
you are a conscientious pet owner and respectful of other
peoples spaces. Secondly, it is especially important that
your pet is wearing a collar with current identification
tags when away from home, and always, of course! ID
tags should include the home number and address as
well as a cellular phone number that is guaranteed to be
with you while away. In regard to other identification
information, if your pet has a microchip, you should
carry that information (their ID number and contact
information for the appropriate company) as well as
copies of current health and rabies certificates. Third,
in what seems like a very obvious statement, make
sure you have plenty of their food and appropriate
medications to last the duration of your trip. You
also may want to take some toys that they are used to
playing with and of course, a leash is always essential.
Lastly, if you are traveling to a region where your
pet will be exposed to fleas, ticks, or mosquitoes, you
should be armed with the appropriate preventatives
(call your veterinarian to ask if you are unsure).
There are also some general considerations to keep in

mind if travel occurs via car. Many of us take our dogs
with us on a daily basis for routine errands or to work
and obviously more time in a vehicle is expected with
long road trips. Though most people say they are aware
of this, I still see animals left in cars unattended during
the summer months. Even with the windows cracked,
the temperature inside your vehicle can easily pass 120
degrees in a matter of minutes. Animals have a difficult
time dissipating heat and quickly become overheated.
The stress of being
overheated will
increase the anxiety
in a pet which will
quickly exacerbate
the problem.
Whether running
local errands or if
you are on a long
road trip, plan
accordingly and
make sure that your
pet will never be
left in the vehicle
unattended.
Some other
important
considerations with car travel include ensuring your
pet is safely secured in the moving vehicle. During an
accident, an unsecure pet is at risk of being thrown
from the vehicle. Animals can fall out of moving
vehicles if not appropriately secured. Seat belt systems
are available at most pet stores or you can secure your
pet in a kennel (avoid cardboard boxes as they will
not withstand pressure). Also, when on long trips,
it is important to stop frequently so your pet can go
for a short walk to stretch and urinate. If car travel
has a tendency to cause motion sickness for your pet,
call your veterinarian as there are many approved
medications that may alleviate the problem.
There are certainly other considerations to make when
traveling and if you have questions or concerns, call your
veterinarian before heading out on the road. Regardless
of where your summer travels take you, I hope it is full
of fun and adventure! Happy trails everyone.

Hospital at 541-899-1081 or jvhospital@qwestoffice.net.

Feelin' Hot, Hot, Hot

by Dr. Jeff Judkins, Animalkind Veterinary Clinic
he full force of summertime

is upon us here in the Rogue
Valley. It's something that folks
whove lived here for many years are
well acquainted with, but even old-timers
will tell you that this is an exceptionally
hot, dry summer. In many respects, these
conditions directly impact our daily lives
and the animals
under our care.
Traditional Chinese
Medicine (TCM) can
offer practical ways
for us to keep our
animals comfortable
and healthy in
extreme weather
conditions.
The most basic
concept in TCM is
the ever-evolving
balance between Yin and Yang, the two
opposing principles in nature. Yang is hot,
active, dry and bright; Yin is cool, calm,
moist and dark. Too much Yang? You
need more Yin. And vice-versa. The two
opposites need to be in balance with each
other. But right now, at least climate-wise,
were experiencing total Yang. Individuals
who are already shifted a bit toward the
Yang side of things will be more adversely
affected by our hot, dry weather. So,
for example, an Arabian mare with
a hot, fiery," disposition would be
more likely to become agitated and
restless in hot weather than a laid-back
Warmblood. An elderly cat with poor
kidney function and a lack of Yin could
easily become dehydrated and possibly
constipated in the heat.
Not only can TCM explain why some
individuals are prone to problems at
certain times of the year, it also gives
practical advice on helping our animals
thrive during extreme conditions. One
of the most important concepts to
understand is the energetic nature of
different foods. Almost anyone would
agree that watermelon and cucumbers
sound much more appealing right now
than say, a pot roast. This is because our
bodies are naturally attracted to foods
that cool us in the summer and warm
us in the winter. There are biochemical
and physiological reasons for this, but
ancient Chinese physicians ascribed
energetic properties to foods. Ginger,
black pepper and meats, for example, are
Warming, whereas most vegetables are
considered to be Cooling.
For an individual to stay healthy, its

best to consume foods appropriate to
the season. Animals do this naturally
in the wild, and its important for
our domesticated animals as well. If
your Golden Retriever is prone to hot
spots right now, youd want to avoid
feeding her chicken and lamb, which
are considered hot
meats. Salmon (as long
as its cooked for dogs)
and turkey arent as
warming, would be
better choices. Adding
some pured leafy green
veggies to the meal
can have a nice cooling
effect. Go slow though
sudden diet changes can
cause digestive upset in
some animals. Feeding
watermelon rinds to horses, goats and
llamas helps keep them cool too. (Our
chickens love watermelon on a hot day!)
Herbs can also be beneficial in coping
with summer heat. Lemon balm (a very
happy "weed" in our yard) is a cooling,
calming (Yin) herb that can be made
into a tea and added to your pets food,
or even chopped and added directly
to a dog or horse's meal. Catnip and
other mint-family plants have similar
effects. Parsley and basil are packed with
cooling, detoxifying nutrients and make
nice additions too.
Providing access to cool, fresh water,
supplying appropriate shelter from the
sun, and keeping pets out of parked cars,
goes without saying. Intense physical
activity (Yang) should be limited to early
morning or late evening. Ive found that
our dogs LOVE chasing a glow-in-the
dark ball at night (Yin) when it is cooler
outside. A spray bottle with some added
aloe vera juice makes a great cooling mist
for your dog or horse. And remember,
animals with black hair coats are more
susceptible to the suns heat, so extra
caution is warranted.
Summer is the season of Yang in its
fullest expression: abundant sunshine,
activity and a spirit of outgoing
joyfulness. With some simple precautions
and concepts of Balance, you and your
animals can appreciate it while it's here.
It will be cold and rainy (Yin) here again
soon enough!

later a son, Arnold, was added to the
family. Arnold lived only three months,
but one year later Amalia Dorothea Britt,
affectionately known as Mollie, was born.
However, over the next few years,
Amalias health began to fail. Weak from
bearing five children and plagued by a
chronic intestinal disorder, Amalia died on
September 28, 1871, and Britt lost the love
of his life. In the space of ten short years,
Britt had gone from carefree bachelor to
husband, father, and now widower.
Britt never remarried, so was left to
care for three small children. Moreover,
in 1875, Britt became the guardian of
three boysFritz, Henry, and Kap
following the double suicide of their
parents, Frederich and Anna Ruch.
The Britts were a close knit family,
and Peter seems to have both enjoyed
and succeeded in the role of fatherhood.
The children later told stories of school
(Barron J.L. DeBussches Select
School and William Kreuzers German
Private School for the boys, St. Marys
Academy for Mollie); escapades,
traveling circuses, picnics, field trips,
athletic contests, music lessons and
activities, and the money-making
projects they undertook.
The Ruch boys all became succesful
Southern Oregon businessmen. Kap
became postmaster of Ruch, and the
settlement bears his name. Jake Grob
managed Britts vineyards, orchards, and

landholdings. Emil joined his father in
the photography business, in anticipation
of which, Britt added a large two-story
addition to the rear of his old gallery home.
Both Jake and Emil served on the Town
Council, and Emil became a perennial
councilman and mayor. Mollie took over
the role of housekeeper for the family.
Britt died in 1905. None of his children
every married. They continued to live
in Peters elaborate Gothic creation that
reflected both his vision and success
until their deaths.
The house was destroyed by fire in
1960 and the grounds have since been
designated county and city parks. But as
the Southern Oregon Historical Society
observed in its popular exhibit, PETER
BRITT: The Man Beyond the Camera:
More than 150 years after a nearly
broke Swiss immigrant arrived in a
muddy mining camp, his legacy lives
through the pictures he took, his paintings,
the gardens he planted, and a vital
agricultural heritage he helped foster.

beautiful mountains that trap the air, so we have to go

in the direction of developing manufacturing businesses
that create a minimal amount of emissions. What I am
proposing is that we can make far better use of our
long-vacant industrial land to create excellent family
wage tech jobs. By my last account we have about 5,800
students from our two-county region that are enrolled
in the eight universities in Oregon, including about
300 at Oregon Tech. Most of these young people, upon
completion of their degree, will move on to another
community and build its economy, rather than stay
here and build ours, which many would like to do if we
offered more meaningful career opportunities. Rogue
Community College is also providing great technical
training that can be customized to meet the needs of the
industries we can grow.
My company recently purchased the most beautiful
80-acre state-certified (shovel ready) site in the region. This
parcel is backed by the Denman Wildlife Area (which will
never be developed) and has unobstructed breathtaking
views of the Table Rocks and Mt. McLoughlin. We are
planning to develop southern Oregons first masterplanned tech park at this site, a site that has been sitting
vacant since WWII. We will be raising the standards
for design, construction, amenities and the overall
cohesiveness of the park. My plan is to reverse-engineer
what the aforementioned (best-in-class) community did
and overlay their strategy on the Rogue Valley, then go
after our top five high tech sectors. Im talking about
privately-held, traded-sector firms that will provide
family wage jobs that fit within the fabric of what we
are already doing well. For reasons too numerous to
get into in this article, I am going off the grid and going
mercenary with this high-tech business recruitment
initiative. SOREDI is developing the Southern Oregon
Edge campaign, which will provide an excellent
resource for the recruitment initiative. I will work with
the system, but not through it.
So, all of you who are so inclined may be asking,

What can I do to help? Once again, thanks for asking!
I am currently networking throughout our community
and making presentations titled, Our Opportunity to
Build a Strong Tech Economy in Southern Oregon. I
will be pleased to share this information with your civic
or business group. Please let me know if you would like
to provide referrals within the tech sector of business
owners and decision makers (and even those who are
simply well-connected) who might be interested in
learning about the competitive advantages of doing
business in southern Oregon. There is also a great
way for the business community to lend their support,
which will not cost them time or $$s. Especially now
that Jackson County voters passed the library levy,
you can also encourage our County Commissioners to
make a wiser investment with the video poker proceeds
in support of family wage job creation. Although the
transformation our community is primed for will
not take place overnight, if we truly want something
different, we are going to have to move beyond talking
and actually do something different. By the way, I have
already met with two northern California-based firms
that are very interested in learning more.

Your Grange Gardener by Grange Co-op
Canning is a Great Way to Save Your Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
s canning and preserving fruits and vegetables

worth the effort? In one enthusiastic word: YES!
Think of it this way: Which would you prefer?
Fruits and vegetables grown far away and commercially
canned through processes that add chemicals, additives,
and preservatives? Or would you prefer produce grown in
your own garden or purchased from a local farmers market
that you can preserve yourself free of harmful additives?
Canning your own harvest is an amazing process with
many beginning-to-end (and into the future) benefits.
Canning is an inexpensive way to provide healthy fruits
and vegetables straight from your garden or local farm
for year-round enjoyment. You control the ingredients
so you know they are safe and nutritious. Plus, you will
take great pride in your work and maybe even enjoy a
sentimental connection to your parents or grandparents
who always seem to have shelves of Ball mason jars
loaded with delicious preserved produce on-hand.
The canning possibilities are practically endless. Got
a tree full of apples, pears, or peaches? Then go ahead
and can everything you cant eat! Cucumbers, peppers,
tomatoes, and carrots? Can them for use in a soup next
winter! Canning can be done with nearly every fruit
and vegetable you can grow or buy in the market, and
its an inexpensive investment that will save you money
in the long run when you are using produce you either
grow yourself or purchase in-season. Basically, all thats
needed are jars (including half-pint, pint, and quartsized), a large canner with wire racks or pressure canner,
a few utensils such as tongs and funnels, and preserving
ingredients such as brine or pectin.
Not convinced canning is for you?
How about a convenient produce stand right in your
pantry?No need to run to the grocery store for healthy
ingredientsthey will be conveniently stored on your
own shelves. Eat canned fruits as a healthy snack straight
from the jar, or use them in pies and other recipes your
family will love. The canning process destroys organisms

that can spoil food, so canned foods stay preserved
indefinitelyas long as the container is intact.
How about health in a jar?If you enjoy the delicious
taste of fresh ingredients and also want to know whats
in your foods, canning and preserving is for you. Canned
foods retain the same nutrients as fresh foods. Many
commercially canned foods we find in grocery stores are
loaded with harmful chemicals, preservatives, additives, and
even BPA. When you can your own fresh foods, you control
the ingredient list so you know exactly what isand what
isntinside. Go pesticide-free with your own food! Plus,
youll also be washing and peeling to remove any residues
left on your unprocessed foods, and the canning process
destroys bacteria and seals food within hours of harvesting.
Want better taste?Youll seeor tastefor yourself:
foods you can yourself from your garden or farmers
market taste considerably better than commercially
canned products. You will be using produce at the
peak of its ripeness, with no harmful additives or
preservatives, ensuring the highest quality.
Would you like to save money?Eating home-grown
canned blueberries out-of-season can save you big-time
over buying some out-of-season, at a premium price, that
have been grown and shipped from far away. You can
also save money by buying produce at farmers markets
and grocery stores in-season when they are abundant
and less expensive, and then canning for use year-round.
Now that you know just a few of the great benefits of
canning and preserving fruits and vegetables, the next
question may be, how do I can fruits or how do I can
vegetables? Dont be intimidated by the process. Its
relatively easy with the right guidance, supplies, and
practice. In fact, its as easy as filling your jars with clean
peeled and cut up fruits and vegetables, adding a few
ingredients (or not), screwing on the lids, placing them in
a pressure canner, and following the canners instructions.
