I
t’s hard to imagine
that pioneer-vintner
Peter Brit dreamed
Jacksonville would be
considered the “heart of
Southern Oregon wine
country” 150 after he
planted the frst grapes
here. In the early 1850’s,
Brit did just that and test-
planted fve acres around
his hillside home to 200
grape varietals, some sold
as table grapes, others
to produce wine. Forty
years later, more than 100 acres in Jacksonville had been
planted by more than a dozen growers. Had it not been
for Prohibition destroying the wine industry in 1916, it's
likely the region would have become world-famous for
its wines rather than its pears!
Today, modern-day Jacksonville rests in the middle of
150 vineyards and tasting rooms that stretch from Roxy
Ann peak in the East Medford hills to the Applegate
Valley Wine Trail to the west. There are dozens more
doting hillsides and slopes from Gold Hill to Ashland
with more to come.
To help celebrate what Brit started, a host of wine-
related headliner events await, including the Applegate
UnCorked Barrel Tour on May 19 and Roam the Rogue
on May 25. This month kicks-of high-season for our
wine industry, now an economic driver for Southern
Oregon that is changing the local landscape, both socially
and economically. On that note, please read about a new
winery consortium on page 7—JOWA—the Jacksonville
Oregon Wineries Association, formed to promote six in-
town tasting rooms.
Speaking of tasting rooms…the Review has moved
its ofce to 220 E. California Street—the former home
of the Umpqua Tasting Room, next door to the McCully
House. Shortly after the owners of the UTR purchased
the Gelateria building up the street and relocated the
tasting room, we moved in and got to work bringing
you all the news and happenings in Our Small Town
with Big Atmoshere!

Jacksonville Garden Club Sale
is Mother's Day Weekend
This year, the Jacksonville Garden Club’s
28th-Annual Flower and Bake Sale is on
Friday, May 10, and Saturday, May 11, from
10:00am-2:00pm. Get set for Mother’s Day
with beautiful bouquets and arrangements
created from fresh-cut local fowers, or pick
out a unique poted plant.
Home-baked goodies,
cookies, brownies, pies,
scones, and cakes will also
be ofered for sale— an easy
way to have some delicious
treats for the weekend.
There are a few changes
this year: the sale will
be held on two days
instead of one, and the
location has been moved
to the area next to the
Post Ofce for both days.
Small plant starts will
not be sold, as they are
readily available in other locations, but
some interesting poted plants will be for
sale to help round-out your garden.
Money raised from Garden Club
activities provides scholarships at the
Oregon Stewardship and at Rogue
Community College. Jennifer Wheatley,
the Executive Director of the Rogue
Community College Foundation says,
“The recipients of the Jacksonville Garden
Scholarship will likely move on to careers
that not only increase the economic
vitality of our region, but also serve to
protect and maintain the natural beauty
of Southern Oregon in the years to come."
Carla Hutchins at the Oregon
Stewardship notes,
“Each year, the
Jacksonville Garden
Club partners with
Oregon Stewardship in
providing a scholarship
to a South Medford
High student who
plans to study science
or the environment.
Additionally, the funds
support our operating
expenses so that we can
continue mentoring
local high school
students. We appreciate
this very much as it directly helps our
small nonproft continue its work." The
Jacksonville Garden Club funds and
supports local beautifcation projects at
Peter Brit Gardens, Doc Grifn Park and
Jacksonville Post Ofce.
For more information about the Spring Sale
or Jacksonville Garden Club events, please
contact President Susan Casaleggio
at 541-899-2029.

Brewhaus is hosting
the 3rd annual
celebration of Spring
on Sunday, May 5th
from 11:00am-5:00pm
at the Bigham Knoll
Campus. Come
help roll out new
Spring beers, enjoy
bratwurst, sauerkraut,
giant pretels and
good times!
“Maifest” is a German tradition which
involves the entire family. Jacksonville’s
early pioneers gathered friends, family,
food and music together in Maifest
celebrations. The Jacksonville Maifest
celebration was traditionally a fun-flled
event for Jacksonville school kids with
the highlight of dancing to “Oompah”
sounds played by the ofcial Jacksonville
Silver Coronet band around the Maypole.
New this year will be Polka lessons in
addition to the German Sauerkraut
Band playing the ever popular
Chicken Dance!
For the kids, the day will
include Maypole dancing, and
rides on the popular "Cow Train."
All entertainment is free. For more
information, please call 541-899-1000.

Spring Barrel of Fun for Applegate Winery Fans
O
n Sunday, May 19, join the Applegate Valley
vintners for their Spring UnCorked Barrel
Tour. This is another not-to-be-missed day of
fun for wine and food lovers, featuring wine and food
pairings at 17 Applegate Valley wineries. Tickets are only
$39 and include a commemorative wine glass, tastings
and food. Several wineries will also feature live music
and demonstrations related to winemaking! As always,
DD’s (Designated Drivers) atend for free and may
partake in all food oferings as well as complimentary
soft drinks and water along the way.
The growing list of wineries west of Jacksonville,
known collectively as AVOVA—Applegate Valley
Oregon Vintners Association—holds fall and spring
barrel tours, ofering a fun and relaxed chance to taste
wines directly from the barrel before they are botled and
purchased by the public. The wines are carefully chosen
by each winery, as are each of the delectable homemade
foods paired with the wines. The self-guided and self-
paced tour kicks-of at 11:00am and runs until 5:00pm.
This year, Serra Vineyards will be a popular tour
stop for those wishing to get a frst look at the newest
tasting room to open in the valley. Serra is located at
222 Missouri Flat Road, near other popular wineries
including Troon Vineyard, Schmidt Family Vineyards,
Rossella’s and Wooldridge Creek. Completed this
April, the 3500 square foot building was designed to
incorporate all aspects of the tasting experience. The
eco-friendly building ofers some of the most incredible
views of the Applegate Valley from inside the tasting
room and from a magnum-sized party deck. Serra
Vineyards was the former home of Applegate Red,
owned and farmed by legendary winemaker Frank
Ferreira who passed away in 2009. Today, Ferreira’s
original tasting room which resembles more of a snack-
shack, remains on the property in the shadow of the
new tasting room. Going forward, it will be used as an
ancillary tasting location and marketplace.
Today, Jacksonville residents Scot and Krissa
Fernandes own the 75-acre property which includes the
vineyard, winery and tasting room. Since purchasing the
vineyard, which Ferreira had planted to Syrah, Cabernet
Sauvignon, Cabernet-Franc and Merlot, Scot and Krissa
have planted 15 new acres to Tempranillo and Malbec.
The tasting room is managed by Liz Wan, who doubles
as Serra’s marketing director. Wan, who’s a major
marketing force behind the Southern Oregon wine region,
has worked on the World of Wine event in Jacksonville
and the Rogue Valley Wine and Food event and others.
Scot Fernandes notes, “The new facility was designed
and conceptualized by our family to reduce the potential
negative environmental impact of a winery building
on the landscape. We maximized efciency of "Green
Building" applications everywhere we could.”
The new facility includes an outdoor crush pad, an
indoor tank room and production area, barrel room,
kitchen, laboratory, tasting room and ofces—all
fabricated and manufactured with American steel, 89%
of which was recycled and repurposed steel. Scot adds,
“We also designed it with slope and position of the roof
to maximize the future installation of solar panels to take
advantage of the abundant Applegate Valley sunshine.”
In addition to Serra’s new digs, UnCorked guests
will most likely get a glimpse of the new Wine Hopper
van as it jets 15 guests from winery to winery during
the day. The shiny black touring van is a new Mercedes
Benz Sprinter Van, ofering its passengers unparalleled
comfort. Wine Hopper owner Brad Niva says the
company now ofers daily tours of the Applegate wine
region with pick-up/drop-of locations in Medford,
Ashland and Jacksonville. In Jacksonville, the Wine
Hopper will meet guests every day at the corner of
California and 3rd Streets at the Beekman Bank. After
hours, on certain days of the week, the van is also
available to rent for private tours to any of the region’s 127
vineyards and 40+ tasting rooms… for birthday parties,
anniversary celebrations and other special occasions.
Reach Wine Hopper at (541-476-WINE or winehoppertours.
com) and see their ad on page 3 of this issue.
Tickets for UnCorked are only $39 and are only sold
online at applegatewinetrail.com. After logging-on, you
may purchase tickets and select one of 7 wineries to start
your self-guided and self-paced tour. Cheers!

News From Britt Hill by
Donna Briggs, Britt Executive Director
Britt Does More Than J ust Offer
Summer Concerts
I
n 2010, Rachel
Jones joined
the Brit team
as Director of Education & Community
Engagement. Having come to Brit from
Wolf Trap’s award-winning education
department, she has brought signifcant
skills and visionary leadership to her role.
We now ofer internships in marketing,
development, production, social media,
digital media, and event planning. Brit
Festivals provides professional development
opportunities for interns, including
guest speakers, tours of our performance
facilities, and feld trips to other local arts
organizations. Our program is designed to
bridge the gap between the student and the
working professional by giving interns the
tools to become valuable employees in the
work-force. We ofer paid internships during
the summer and unpaid internships in the
of season, all of which last 10-12 weeks.
At any given time, the program
serves up to nine interns a
season, and the program serves
the Brit Festivals administration
staf by providing help,
perspective and community
engagement. The program is
going on its third year, and has
shown rapid growth.
Since 1999, Brit’s education
department has been providing
Music in the Mornings (MIM).
MIM serves over 26,000 students at 95
elementary schools in Jackson, Josephine,
Klamath, Douglas and Siskiyou counties
on a daily basis. This program helps
children learn about composers, musical
styles and major musical works; they
learn to hear the power and beauty of
music for themselves. For fve minutes
every day, a selection of classical music
is played over the school's PA system
with an informative introduction read
beforehand. The introduction gives some
historical background on the composer
and the piece. The same work is heard
for fve days in a row, with a slightly
diferent introduction each day. This
reinforces both recognition of the piece and
the information surrounding it. Brit has
recently put together a working group to
address the program’s future. The working
group consists of education specialists
from Southern Oregon University, primary
school music educators, representatives
from partnering arts organizations and
Brit staf members. The working group
will focus on prioritizing ways to maximize
efective usage of the program and beter
incorporate the program into each school’s
curriculum. The overall objective of the
working group is to develop an updated
program for the 2014-2015 school year. We
will keep you posted on our work.
Brit’s summer camps have also expanded
under Rachel’s leadership. This year we will
be ofering the third annual Brit Rock Camp,
a new classically-focused improvisatory
workshop, Project: Beyond the Page with
Project Trio, and Brit’s Ukulele Getaway.
The Rock Camp (June 17-22) is open to
regional musicians between the ages of 13
and 18, and is designed to foster creative
expression, community and collaboration,
while providing an entry point to
the arts for middle and high school
students. Participants will gain hands-on,
professional instruction on vocals, electric
guitar, electric bass, drums and keyboards
from Raining Jane, a female rock band
from Los Angeles. Students
also atend Brit Festivals
concerts and have the
opportunity to participate
in special sessions with
touring artists performing at
Brit during camp week.
Ukulele Getaway (July 5-7)
participants of all ages (age
6 through adult) will join
a stellar faculty and fellow
uke-thusiasts for three days of
happy music that will feel like a vacation—
without even leaving the Rogue Valley! With
workshops for beginning, intermediate and
advanced players, participants will fnger-
pick, strum, sing (not required!), write, jam
and, most of all, make music. Instructors
will facilitate the exploration of Hawaiian,
bluegrass, country, rock, pop, jazz and
everything in-between.
Project: Beyond the Page will take place
during our Classical Festival (August 12-17)
and serves students playing any orchestral
or band instrument. The camp will place an
emphasis on composition, memorization,
performance and extended techniques.
Featuring the innovative chamber ensemble
PROJECT: Trio as resident faculty, this
unique summer learning experience will
focus on Modern Chamber Music, using the
faculty's F.I.R.E. Technique (Fundamentals
of Improvisation, Rhythm and Ensemble).
For information on these camps or any of
our education programs, please contact Rachel
Jones, Director of Education and Community
Engagement at [email protected] or

For the last ten years, Jacksonville
residents Mike and Gail Haley have
invited pilots from around the world to
participate in one of the most respected
and exciting paragliding competitions:
“The Rat Race.” This year’s 11th Annual
Rat Race has become one of the largest
international paragliding events in the
world, with 250 pilots already signed-
up for the June 22-29th event in the
Applegate Valley at Woodrat Mountain.
This year, a new “Super Clinic” will
be introduced to train up-and-coming
pilots to expand their knowledge and
skills each day after the competition
fights. Sport icons Kari Castle and Ken
Hudonjorgensen will head-up the cadre
of instructors
for these 50
pilots enrolled
in the clinic.
Kari and Ken
are world-class
instructors
with decades
of experience
training
paragliding
pilots.
Kari Castle is a 3-time hang gliding
World Champion, as well as a US
National hang gliding and paragliding
champion. She holds 2 current women’s
hang gliding world records and the
current world record open distance
tandem paraglider fight record holder of
228 km fown in Australia.
Ken Hudonjorgensen is the frst
paraglider pilot in the US to be awarded
the highest safe pilot award for 5,000
consecutive safe fights. He has since
accumulated over 13,000 safe fights.
Woodrat Mountain has been voted
one of the best 25 paragliding sites in
the world. The
public is invited
to watch the
event at Red
Lily Vineyards,
Valley View
Vineyards, and
Fiasco Winery.
All locations
will provide
daily live video/
internet tracking of the races overhead.
Fiasco Winery is owned and operated
by Dave and Pamela Palmer, who have
donated the property and designated it
as a permanent landing zone for pilots.
And, mark your calendars for Sunday,
June 23 for the 5th-Annual Hunter Family
Fundraising Dinner—open to the public
from 6:00pm-9:00pm, hosted by Fiasco
Winery at 8035 Hwy 238, just 8 miles west
of Jacksonville. Money raised will again
be donated to local charities (yet to be
announced) in the name of the Hunter
Family, who are long-time supporters of
the sport. See Fiasco ad on page 36.

JOWA members l-r: Herb Quady-Quady North, Traute Moore-South Stage Cellars, Jeanne
& Jim Davidian-Caprice Vineyards, Russ & Margaret Lyon-Daisy Creek Vineyard, Cassia
Winkler-Umpqua Valley Wine Tasting Room, Dan & Cindy Marca-DANCIN Vineyards
The Jacksonville Oregon Wineries
Association (JOWA) is a collection of six
wineries, each ofering a unique wine
tasting experience located within one
mile of Jacksonville. The Association
was formed during the development of
a collective brochure being prepared by
Porscha Schiller of South Stage Cellars.
“We didn’t just want to have a piece
of paper with a list of participating
wineries,” said Dan Marca, the
Association’s President, “so we decided to
gather as a group and determine how we
could all work together to draw atention
to the Jacksonville wineries.” Having only
six members has its advantages and after
only one meeting, JOWA was born!
Founding JOWA members include
DANCIN Vineyards, Daisy Creek
Vineyard, Quady North, South Stage
Cellars, Umpqua Valley Wine Tasting
Room and Caprice Vineyards. JOWA’s
afairs will be managed by its President,
Dan Marca of DANCIN Vineyards, VP,
Jim Davidian of Caprice Vineyards and
Secretary/Treasurer Dawn Roelke of
Quady North.
The Association was formed as a
collaborative efort by each Member
Winery to showcase Jacksonville, where
wine tasting is complemented by a host
of varied amenities. Jacksonville is a
very unique southern Oregon experience
where you can visit up to six very distinct
wineries, enjoy shopping at wonderful
stores, dine at world-class eateries and
stay at upscale inns and B&B’s—all within
one mile of the downtown core!
The Member Wineries are planning their
frst event, a Father’s Day Weekend Open
House on June 15th and 16th where dads
will be treated to complimentary pairings!
They are also planning subsequent events
on Veteran’s Day and Mother’s Day.
Marca notes, “The main goal of JOWA is
to help visitors discover our unique wine
tasting area and to promote it to locals
in the valley. Ultimately, it’s all about
promoting the Southern Oregon experience
and providing people with enough variety
so they’ll spend more time exploring our
region. Jacksonville’s past may have been
paved with gold, but its future will grow
with wine.” See ad this page.

The Unfettered Critic by
Paula Block Erdmann & Terry Erdmann
I
f we had to choose a favorite from
all of Broadway’s tuneful oferings,
My Fair Lady would likely lead
the pack. So how “loverly” for us
that the Oregon Shakespeare Festival
currently is presenting an exceptional
interpretation of Alan Jay Lerner and
Frederick Loewe’s 1956 classic!
You know the story. Eliza Doolitle,
good-hearted, “squashed cabbage leaf” of
a fower girl, encounters Henry Higgins,
distinguished, overbearing snob of a
linguistics professor. Higgins observes
that Eliza’s Cockney accent keeps her
eternally bound to the
lower rungs of society.
“Look at her, a pris’ner
of the guters,” he states,
“condemned by every
syllable she uters.”
When Higgins boasts
to his friend Colonel
Pickering that by
teaching the girl proper
English he could get her
a job as a shop assistant,
clever Eliza takes note.
The next morning she
shows up at Higgins’
doorstep ofering to
pay for speech lessons.
Recalling the professor’s
claim that he could “pass
her of as a duchess at an Embassy ball,”
Pickering proposes a wager, and Higgins
bites. As Eliza endures weeks of insults
(tempered by chocolates), she realizes that
she isn’t the ignorant gutersnipe Higgins
thinks she is—and therein lies the fun…
And the songs, almost all timeless
standards. Excelling as Eliza, lively actress
Rachael Warren makes us want to join
in as she sings “The Rain In Spain” and
“I Could Have Danced All Night.” We
actually feel for Higgins as actor Jonathan
Haugen quietly laments, “I’ve Grown
Accustomed To Her Face.” The leads
are so good that we willingly relinquish
memories of incandescent performers
like Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews (or
Audrey Hepburn) in the roles. Warren
lifts Eliza into a place all her own, while
Haugen smartly sings his way through
the tunes rather than “talk” the songs as
Harrison once did.
We’ve long thought that My Fair Lady
contains two unnecessary characters.
Freddie, the misguided chap who pines
for Eliza, isn’t an integral part of the main
story. He exists to demonstrate Eliza’s
acceptance into a more elevated level of
society. On the other end of the scale,
Alfred, Eliza’s ne’er-do-well father, shows
the depths she’s emerged from. They
have nice songs, though, and director
Amanda Dehnert found wonderfully
innovative ways to use them. As Freddie,
actor Ken Robinson nearly steals the
show with his hilarious performance of
the once-staid ballad, “The Street Where
You Live,” which infers that his romantic
atachment may literally be for the street—
cobblestones, gravel,
and all. And we applaud
OSF staple Anthony
Heald, as Alfred,
who demonstrates
astounding energy
during an extended
dance routine in “Get
Me To the Church On
Time.” As Heald and
an ensemble of dancers
stomp about the stage,
the number resembles
a play-within-the-
play, brimming with
excitement.
Dehnert’s best decision
may be in her staging.
Most of the cast—and the
musicians—remain on stage at all times, so
that wardrobe, location, and scene changes
happen via a fuid choreography that is
fully visible…yet largely unnoticeable. “Life
isn’t neat, and theatre isn’t clean,” Dehnert
asserts. “You should see where the lights
hang, see the clothes being put on and taken
of, see how people transform.”
My Fair Lady was based on George
Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion, frst
produced in l916. Shaw, in turn, based
his story on a verse from the Greek poet
Ovid’s Metamorphoses: “Pygmalion,
critical of faults which nature planted in
female hearts, lived unmarried. With skill,
he carved a statue out of ivory, and gave
it exquisite beauty. She was so beautiful,
he fell in love with his creation.”
Two thousand years later, in Ashland,
so will you.
Paula and Terry each have long impressive-
sounding resumes implying that they are
batle-scarred veterans of life within the
Hollywood studios. They’re now happily
relaxed into Jacksonville.
Sometimes life, and theatre,
is more than Fair

H
ow do
we teach
children
the value of eating
healthy foods? As a parent, this is a difcult
question—do we force green vegetables at
dinner as a mater of course, or do we fnd
creative ways to integrate healthy foods into
our daily routines? Making nutrition a fun
and interesting activity for children isn’t
easy, but that is what “Rogue Valley Farm
to School” aims to do: “Educate children
about our food system through hands-
on farm and garden programs, and by
increasing local foods in school meals.”
Historic Hanley Farm is excited to
announce its new partnership with Rogue
Valley Farm to School. Over the summer,
2, one-week-long camps—July 8-12 for
7-10 year olds and August 5-9 for 5-7 year
olds—will be hosted at Hanley with Rogue
Valley Farm to School, where children will
learn about planting and tending crops,
caring for farm animals, harvesting and
preparing food, as well as participate
in arts and crafts related to farming. In
the fall, Farm to School will be hosting
regular “Harvest Meal” feld trips to
Hanley, where children will participate in
harvesting and preparing their own farm-
fresh lunches. The opportunity to have
children learning the value of nutrition
and the excitement of harvesting and
preparing their own food is a wonderful
development for Hanley Farm and one we
are all looking forward to bringing to the
community. Registration for camps can be
done online at www.rvfarm2school.org.
In addition to the Farm to School
program, we are thrilled to be expanding
the Children’s Heritage Fair to three
days this year. On May 30-31, Hanley
Farm will be hosting school groups from
all over the Rogue Valley to learn about
local history, farming, and to participate
in games and crafts. So far there are over
700 children registered to atend during
the two days of school feld trips. On
Saturday, June 1st, the public is welcome
to atend the Fair, where children of all
ages can connect with history through
hands-on activities. The public day of the
Fair will run from 10:00am-4:00pm.
And of course, don’t forget the Heritage
Plant Sale happening at Hanley on
Mother’s Day weekend, May 11-12. The
sale will open at 10:00am and run to
3:00pm on Saturday, and on Sunday there
will be a Tea & Crepes luncheon especially
for mom, with freshly-baked sweets
from Coquete bakery, also beginning at
10:00am. Come by for all of your spring
plant needs, as well as an extra-special way
to say “thank you” to mom.

Flickr. After browsing the site, she was
thoroughly impressed
with the photos taken
by a diverse group
of talented artists.
Kathy was inspired
to get a camera and
set-out on a journey
to explore her
surroundings through
the cameras lens. With
encouragement from
her daughter to turn her hobby into a
business, Kathy sought-out Hannah West
who helped set up her frst showing at the
Good Bean Cofee Shop—and she hasn’t
looked back since.
Befriending a local photo club and other
photographers with the same camera,
she began to
ask questions
to gain beter
knowledge
in the art
of being a
photographer.
“Never shoot
in auto mode,”
was one of
the frst bits
of advice received. To this day, Kathy
adheres to manual setings, allowing her
full control (of the camera at least) to
create an image that refects her vision of
what lies before her. She did, however,
confess to a distrust of her own eyes’
ability to properly focus and therefore
tends to rely on auto focus. Other lessons
learned include the importance of
composition, leading lines, the efect of
light, value, space etc… much the same as
a painter learns the art of painting.
To gain a beter understanding
of Photoshop tools, Kathy atended
study courses lead by well-known
photographer, Sean Bagshaw. She credits
him for teaching her a favorite technique,
which is to take a dynamic range of
images and blend them together to create
a much stronger fnal shot.
While atending outdoor workshops
lead by Sean, David Cobb and Zach
Schneph, Kathy found herself chasing
the early morning light in the Palouse
and Olympic Mountains. These trips
taught her the importance of geting out
early and how quickly light changes a
scene. Shadows came and went so fast
that she was constantly picking up her
tripod and moving from spot to spot to
capture the light and the efect it had on
the scene before her lens. Kathy couldn’t
be happier with the great insight and
constructive criticism
that was bestowed
upon her. Now, she’s
eager to atend more
workshops with these
fne photographers,
some of whom are
now friends.
Kathy’s work is
on display at the
Black Oak Medical
Center, Rogue Regency Inn, People’s Bank
on Barnet and Art Presence Art Center
in Jacksonville. She also creates greeting
cards, with lots of wine and vineyard
themes, celebrating Southern Oregon wine
country. In J’ville, you’ll fnd them at Bella
Union and Farmhouse Treasures and at
Rogue Regency Inn in
Medford. (More locations
are coming soon!)
Kathy has recently
received requests to do
product shots, which
she has found to be an
enjoyable experience
and a good challenge.
However, the bulk of her
work will continue to be
landscape and outdoor-based, which she
fnds most peaceful and calming.
Kathy will be showing her beautiful
photographs in the Naversen Room of the
Jacksonville Library through July 17. Please
call the library at 541-899-1665 for hours.

Chamber Chat
by The J acksonville Chamber of Commerce
The longest journey starts with the frst
step. One of the most pleasant things about
Jacksonville is simply taking a walk. My
wife, Cheryl, and I spend many afternoons
walking neighborhoods and trails around
town. Whether watching a bird or trying
to fgure out what kind of tree it is perched
in, we always come home relaxed and
happy that we live in a place where you
don't have to drive your car to get around.
One of our favorite routes is the "Rails
to Trails" bike and pedestrian path that
runs from "D" to Middle Street, alongside
a minor tributary of Jackson Creek. The
Rogue Valley Railroad ran this route from
the historic station by the post ofce into
Medford many years ago. The logs for
our historic home on California Street, the
Purcell Cabin, were brought over from
Bute Falls on this very rail line in the
1930's and were then hand-peeled on the
building site. Today, all that remains of the
old railway is a fat grade, some fruit trees
and a slow trickle of water – making for
my perfect recipe for a walk.
It was on one of these walks when I
remembered a serious efort to develop
the railway easement into a greenway.
I did a quick check of Chapter 7 of the
City’s Master Plan that revealed the
historic railway easement was “ideal for
linear recreation development.” I guess
this was a fancy way of saying, “it’s
perfect for walking and biking on.” I
also learned that fve years ago the City
had extended serious efort developing
a state grant proposal to extend the
greenway to Medford.
I also discovered that my curiosity was
well-timed since Oregon's Transportation
Growth Management (TGM) program is
doing their biannual round of grants for
just such projects. A couple of phone calls
and a pre-application later, we were on the
list! The Jacksonville City Council approved
developing a grant proposal with Jackson
County and Medford on April 2nd; if we
get a grant, we’ll take our frst steps towards
developing a Jacksonville pedestrian
corridor linking the two towns.
This would be a wonderful asset to
our community and a link that could
someday connect Jacksonville to the
Bear Creek Greenway and provide green
transportation alternatives to our residents.
I will keep you posted on our eforts as they
develop in next month's Jacksonville Review.

Rails to Trails Project Possible
N
owadays, small businesses need
all of the free help they can get
and today’s social media and
online search options can be that help.
Existing customers play an important
role in today’s business environment
with their ability to post comments,
ratings and reviews on a variety of
internet sites and social media platforms.
This feedback can help local businesses
in atracting new customers.
Today’s travelers, shoppers and diners
seek-out more information on where to stay,
shop and dine than ever before. Whether
on a mobile device or home computer, they
use TripAdvisor, YELP and Google Maps
to locate and get reviews on businesses and
services before deciding where to spend
their money. They also seek-out input
from friends and family through Facebook,
Pinterest, LinkedIn and Twiter.
Business and Community Websites—
Many websites allow comments to be
posted about the business as a whole or
on specifc products. Your input helps in
two ways: First, it validates the website
for Google search purposes by proving
that the business has customers and that
those customers are interacting with the
website. Second, it helps other users of the
website by encouraging them to support
the same businesses.
Blogs—Comment on a business’ blog
or any blog that discusses one of your
favorite businesses.
Facebook*—“Like” your favorite
businesses. Like, comment on and share
their posts so that your friends will see
them too. Check-in at the business when
you visit. Your recommendation carries a
lot of weight in a purchase decision with
your friends.
TripAdvisor* & YELP*—Rate and share
reviews of businesses you have used. If
you are new to this, take some time to read
the other reviews and get a feel for the
rating system. Don’t post these reviews
while at the business and using the free
WiFi as it will appear to be a fake review.
And don’t be surprised if businesses
respond to your reviews. TripAdvisor
encourages businesses to interact with
their customers through reviews.
*User accounts are required for these
tools. YELP reviews may be fltered out
until you are an established user. Savvy
users will know how to fnd them by
removing the flter.
Having signifcant numbers of and high
quality reviews helps businesses increase
their overall online presence. Google, the
top search engine, aggregates reviews
from the majority of review sites and
factors that into its search algorithm. So
a higher online presence gets a business
ranked higher in a Google search.
The Jacksonville Chamber of
Commerce thanks you for supporting
local businesses.
The Chamber invites you to join us at
our monthly general meetings, at Old
City Hall. Held the second Thursday of
each month at 8:30am, we ofer a relaxed
and informative time to get your morning
going and connect with the business
community. See you May 9th !

R
ecently,
Jacksonville
Fire
and Jacksonville CERT conducted a
public meeting for the residents of the
Westmont/ Mary Ann/ Pair-A-Dice
neighborhood, the area selected as the
frst Firewise community in Jacksonville.
Firewise is a national program designed
to educate and support neighbors by
creating defensible space around their
homes. With some assistance through
Oregon Department of Forestry grant
funds and ODF labor teams, neighbors
will be clearing highly-fammable
vegetation, planting fre-resistant
shrubs, trimming branches, cleaning-out
guters, sweeping-up pine needles and
raking leaves.
Each Firewise community has a
board made up of neighbors who work
together to approve the community
assessment, formulate an action plan,
analyze investment and complete a
renewal form. One annual day of clean
up is also required.
Becoming a Firewise community is
an ongoing endeavor that strives to
maintain the neighborhood protection
through defensible space from year-
to-year. Most of the work required
to become a recognized Firewise
community is minimal, but when done
by each neighbor, the communal efect
is dramatic.
Jacksonville Fire and CERT plans to
continue working with and following
this neighborhood’s progress and then
have several more neighborhoods
become Firewise.
For more information about Firewise,
please call 541-414-3236 or email
[email protected].
I
am writing
this from the
warm, almost
hot, April weather
in Palm Desert,
California… a place Sharon and I try to
get to once every year. There are three
diferent routes we use when driving:
straight down I-5 through Los Angeles
and then to Palm Desert, I-5 to Bakersfeld
and over the Tehachapi’s or through
Lassen Park and Reno and down US-395,
a longer route but by far the more scenic
and the one we chose on this trip.
Near the base of Mount Whitney,
on Highway 395, in the town of
Independence, California, is a
magnifcent building which has caught
my atention every time we’ve driven
this route. Built in the 1920’s, at more
than 28,000 square feet, it stands as an
impressive-looking structure befting
its use as the county courthouse. The
Inyo County Superior Court website
reads, “The region's only example of
monumental Neoclassical Revival public
architecture, the present courthouse
was placed on the National Register of
Historic Places in 1998 in recognition of
its ‘integrity of feeling and association.’"
Now, I’m not sure what “integrity of
feeling and association” really means
since such a description can be used
for virtually any purpose. But when
reading it, I asked myself, what has
that got to do with being historic? The
folks who wrote that should see a truly
historic courthouse… the one right here
in Jacksonville we all know. Built in
the 1880s, it stands as a monument to
superb engineering and construction
with a craftsmanship seldom seen in
modern buildings.
The Inyo County Courthouse is the fourth
building on the same site. The frst, a brick
structure, was leveled in an earthquake. The
second, a wooden structure, was burned
to the ground in a devastating city fre. The
third was outgrown.
Our courthouse has had its own
checkered history. In 1932, the citizens
voted to move the County Courthouse
to Medford, thus ending almost half a
century of county government located
in Jacksonville. Then, according to the
National Park Service, “in the 1930s, the
building was used as the ofce for a local
Boy Scout Troop and for meetings and
other public functions, such as dances.
During WW II, the Courthouse was used
for Civilian Air Defense meetings. In 1946,
the Jacksonville Courthouse became the
Jacksonville Museum and home of the
Southern Oregon Historical Society.” The
courthouse was perilously close to being
demolished when SOHS saved it.
Now, more than eighty years since
the county vacated the courthouse, once
again its fate remains to be determined.
I say, why not return the building back
to the original purpose for which it was
designed. Somehow it seems fting
that we go full circle by using it for our
own city government. We are in need of
more space. By using the frst foor for
city operations and the second foor as
an “events center,” we would be taking
advantage of the fact that we’d be using
a building we never could have hoped
to buy. With its history, and with its
prominence in the city landscape, it is
the perfect location for our City Hall.
What a legacy for grateful and proud
future generations! What beter way to
assure this magnifcent building’s future!
Once again, the courthouse would come
to life like the phoenix rising from the
ashes. Now that is something we could
all celebrate.
Swordplay and Swashbuckling at Old City Hall
We are pleased to announce that
SCARAMOUCHE will be the flm
screened at Old City Hall in May. Stewart
Granger stars in this Napoleonic epic with
Mel Ferrer as his villainous opponent.
Janet Leigh and Eleanor Parker supply
the love interest. SCARAMOUCHE is
probably the best flm of its type other
than THE SEA HAWK which we ran a
couple of years ago. It is a breathtaking
display of sword-fghting at its best,
excellent acting from all the main
characters, brilliant direction, superb
over-the-top script and dialogue, and
frst-class Technicolor photography. The
climactic eight minute dueling scene is
perhaps the best ever flmed and certainly
one of the longest. SCARAMOUCHE is a
flm not-to-be-missed.
It screens Friday night, May 17 at
7:00pm at Old City Hall.

Service of Former County Sheriff August
Singler Formally Recognized by U.S.
Congress and Oregon House
On April 15, 2013, the Oregon State
Legislature marked the 100-year anniversary
of the tragic death of former Jackson
County Sherif, August D. Singler with
the introduction of House Resolution 4.
The following was excerpted from remarks
made in Washington,
DC, Salem and Jackson
County, Oregon during
the month of April when
proclamations were read
into the United States
Congressional, Oregon
State Legislature and
Jackson County Board of
Commissioners records
formally recognizing
the sacrifce made by
August Singler. Singler’s
relatives, including his
granddaughter Diana
Walker of Talent and
great-granddaughter
Chris Walker, Jackson
County Clerk and other
grandchildren were in
atendance in Salem to
mark the occasion.
Mr. Speaker, I rise to express gratitude
to August D. Singler, former Sherif
of Jackson County, Oregon. Sherif
August David Singler was the 1st law
enforcement ofcer and only Sherif killed
in the line of duty in Jackson County
Oregon, April 23, 1913. He lived with
his family in Jacksonville Oregon in the
“Wilson House,” located directly behind
the old Jackson County Courthouse/Jail
when Jacksonville was the county seat.
A very special individual who during
his short tenure in law enforcement gave
his life in service for the citizens of his
County and the State of Oregon. His
place in history is recognized because of
his selfess burning desire and bulldog
atitude toward citizen rights, protection
of all families and respect for rule of law.
August was born on May 28, 1876 in
Millersburg, Plymouth County, Indiana
and was one of thirteen children of John
and Susan Singler. At a later date, the
Singler family moved to South Bend
Indiana where August met his future
wife, Rose Probst. They eventually
married November 15, 1898 and made
their home in South Bend, Indiana where
their frst child was born. August watched
the midwife during the birth of their frst
child and proceeded by himself, to deliver
the remainder of their eight children. As
the family and quest to support them
grew, August decided to head west.
Being the adventurous soul he was, he
hitchhiked to Southern Oregon twice
before sending a wire for his wife and
three children to come to Oregon by train.
Shortly after arriving, their fourth child
was born.
Singler performed various small
jobs including selling Singer sewing
machines and patented medicines
for the “Electric Medical Company.”
August was considered a “Jack of all
trades,” who would go to great lengths
to feed and clothe his family. In late
1906, August purchased a small piece
of land in Medford, Oregon on Lozier
Lane. Although he knew very litle about
building houses, he proceeded to erect a
two- story home for his family.
August was involved in many civic
organizations including the Moose Lodge,
Redmen, Woodsman of the World,
Knights of Columbus and was a charter
member of the Elks Lodge. Because of his
extensive involvement, he was known as
a community-spirited man who gave of
himself and his time.
In 1909, August was appointed
Constable of the Medford District and
served four years in this position. Upon
his appointment, Singler’s reputation as
keeper of the peace surfaced quickly. His
exploits were known from Sacramento,
California to Portland, Oregon. Singler
tracked criminals by horseback, railroad-
handcar, card and buck board, always
seeming to capture the ofenders. He
was called a “Super Sleuth,” nervy,
imaginative, tough and yet a gentle
soul. The citizenry jokingly called him
“Sherlock Holmes.”
Throughout the years
people have heard about
Lawmen of the West, yet
none surpassed Singler
in daring, innovation
and determination.
Ironically, most of his
achievements were
accomplished during his
tenure as Constable of
the Medford District in
Jackson County, Oregon.
Singler was responsible
for introducing the art of
fnger printing to Jackson
County and was the frst
lawman to use blood
hounds in this area.
In 1912, he decided
to run for Sherif of
Jackson County to
support the needs of his growing family.
His campaign slogan read, “Party I
am Working For” and featured Singler
with his wife Rose and eight children.
An interesting sideline to the campaign
came when Singler’s friends sent a
campaign card east to Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt. Friends were prompted to
send the campaign card as Roosevelt
had advocated for large families at this
time. Colonel Roosevelt acknowledged
receipt of the card with best wishes for
Singler’s success. Singler was successful
in the Primary election—beating the odds
running against Emmit Beesen, a local
pioneer family descendent and being
Catholic. In the General election, Singler
defeated a popular incumbent, Sherif
Wilber Jones.
Singler’s term as Sherif began in
January 1913, which was relatively
routine until April 22, 1913 when he
was advised of the return of a 19-year-
old desperado named Lester Jones. His
promising career as Sherif was cut short
that day as the result of the shootout with
the fugitive Jones while the Sherif was
atempting to serve him with an arrest
warrant. In a classic scene out of the
old West, Sherif Singler walked slowly
toward the two room cabin in the hills
southeast of Jacksonville. The young
desperado suddenly open fred—one
bullet ploughed through the Sherif’s
lungs and another through his right hand.
As Singler fell to the ground, he opened
fre, emptying his weapon. Each of the
six bullets hit fugitive Jones who died
instantly. Sherif Singler passed the next
morning on April 23, 1913, leaving behind
his beloved wife Rose and their eight
children, all under the age of thirteen. He
was the frst law enforcement ofcer to
die in the line of duty in Jackson County
Oregon and the only one elected Sherif.
On April 25, 1913, with businesses in
Medford closed and fags lowered to half
mast, the last tribute was paid to Sherif
August D. Singler. The funeral procession
was twelve blocks long, with church
crowds so large that only half could
be seated as hundreds stood along the
funeral procession with bowed heads. It
was said to be the largest outpouring of
its kind in Jackson County history.
It should be recognized that Sherif
Singler deserves a place in history. His
pride, concern and leadership are still
refected in those who understand what
it takes to preserve the peace. He was a
gentleman in every way and held a fair
about himself that demanded respect.
May his name not be forgoten, let him be
placed among other recognized lawmen
of the past…this day April 23, 2013,
represents 100 years since his tragic and
untimely death.

With the memory of April 15th
fresh in your mind, it’s a good time
to start your 2013 tax planning. Many
individuals make charitable contributions
to local arts, heritage, and humanities
organizations. How would you like to
increase your support for these important
organizations—at no cost to you? You
can—through the Oregon Cultural Trust!
The Oregon Cultural Trust (OCT), a
program unique to Oregon, was created
by the State Legislature to promote our
cultural resources. In 2001, the Legislature
authorized a 100% tax credit for
residents donating to the OCT. The OCT
returns these donated monies to local
communities in the form of grants from
the Trust and its local afliates such as the
Jackson County Cultural Coalition.
Since the tax credit’s inception, Jackson
County organizations have received
almost $500,000 in grants for programs
ranging from art and music enrichment
activities, to health and ftness training,
to preserving and sharing local history, to
encouraging beginning readers to develop
a lifelong love of learning. Jacksonville has
seen funding for Brit Festivals, the Brit
Gardens restoration, the historic Catholic
Rectory’s new roof, and repairs to the
historic Beekman House. Grants have also
gone to the Shakespeare Festival, the Film
Festival, the Youth Symphony, the Rogue
Valley Symphony and Chorale, Ballet
Folklorico, SOHS, SMART, the YMCA,
Kids Unlimited, CASA of Jackson County
and more—65 organizations in all.
These funds provide employment,
augment scarce resources, generate
additional revenue for the economy, and
help create income that allows recipient
organizations to survive and thrive.
Economists also argue that such support
for arts and culture adds to our capacity for
long-term growth, contributes to a desirable
quality of life, and creates valuable
social bonds. In short, Jackson County,
Jacksonville, and its cultural organizations
beneft from the Cultural Trust tax credit,
and you and every other resident beneft
from our region’s cultural assets.
Here’s how the OCT tax credit works.
If you give as litle as ten dollars ($10) to
one or more of the registered 1300+ 501(c)
(3) cultural organizations and donate a
matching amount to the OCT, you can
deduct your Cultural Trust donation from
the amount you owe the State in taxes up
to a maximum of $500 per individual—
whether or not you itemize! In other
words, your OCT donation costs you
nothing! Moreover, it may come back to
the community in the form of a grant.
BUT—and it’s a BIG BUT—the OCT
tax credit is scheduled to expire at the
end of 2013. You can take advantage
of it during 2013, but we could all lose
its future beneft. The Legislature is
currently deciding on whether or not to
renew this legislation.
You can insure that we continue to
beneft from this tax credit and that this
funding source continues to be available
to our cultural organizations. Just make
a phone call, send an e-mail, or write a
leter to our legislators saying “please
renew the Cultural Trust Tax Credit.” To
make it even easier, here’s the contact
information:

The Oregon Cultural Trust has had an
impact on so many lives. Our legislators
pay atention to their electorate. If they
hear you—their voters—asking them to
renew the Cultural Trust legislation, then
they will be more inclined to do so, and
we will all beneft!

City Council, April 2—Civil West
Engineering reported on the status of
the city’s water system. Of note, their
report suggests replacing a 250,000 gallon
storage tank above the Brit grounds built
in 1911. Although currently sufcient,
existing infrastructure upgrades and
additions over the next 15-20 years are
estimated at $5.5 million. See the full
report at www.jacksonvilleor.us.
Council approved a recommendation
by the Transient Lodging Tax Commitee
for 6 “bed tax” grants for: Jacksonville
Celebrates the Arts ($1200), Jacksonville
Boosters Club to replace lighting fxtures
on the Brit grounds ($4000), Chamber of
Commerce Victorian Christmas ($6000),
Jacksonville Forest Park trail maps
($800), Brit Festivals Taste of Summer
event ($4500), and Jacksonville Oregon
Business Association (JOBA) summer
marketing campaign ($2025).
City Council, April 16—Council
approved an emergency request to move
a power pole deemed a hazard at the
Applebaker Barn at 275 N. 3rd Street.
Council approved a new 20-year
franchise agreement with PacifcCorp
(from 3.5% to 6%) that will lead to higher
electric service bills while enriching city
cofers by $100,000/year. (Councilor
Hayes voted against the motion.) Council
then unanimously renewed its franchise
agreement with Century Link and a fee
hike from 5% to 6%, resulting in $8,000
more income to the city.
Susan Nuetman from PARC Resources
was on-hand to discuss plans to gather
community input over the next 4-5 months
on uses for the courthouse complex.
Council approved a request by
Councilor Garcia to apply for a $75,000
state transportation grant that, if received,
would be used toward the Rails to Trails
project, a hiking/biking pathway linking
Jacksonville to Medford via existing rail

Less Stuff = Less Stress
2 Weeks in a Carry-on Bag
by Anne McAlpin
I
n the March Review, I ofered tips on
how technology is improving the
way we travel. Based on a recent trip
to Turkey and Greece during which I took
only a 20” carry-on bag, here’s part 2 of
how I kept my bag under 18 pounds. (You
can fnd part 1 on the Review website at
www.jacksonvillereview.com.)
The resounding response I received
from part 1 was, “Did you ever change
your clothes?” Well,
yes I did. And the
tech theme follows
through from carrying
lighter luggage to
light-weight travel-
friendly clothing and
only packing clothing
and items that have
multiple uses.
This trip was
challenging to pack
for because we were
traveling the last
week of September
into October—one
week in a Villa on
Rhodes, and the
second week sailing
the Turkish Coast on a 98’ sailboat. (Yes,
it was truly the trip of a lifetime!) The
weather was projected to be 85 degrees
(and it was) but I wondered what to pack
for our time on the sailboat, which in
Turkish is “Gulet.” Thankfully, my sailing
friend, Jim had reminded me that, “Hot
days turn into cold
nights, especially
on the water,” and
he recommended
packing a long sleeve
“performance fabric
top” to layer under
a windbreaker. This
turned-out to be the
best tip of the trip!
New Performance
Fabrics = Packing
Lighter—The
defnition of
“performance fabrics” is fabrics that
breathe well, wick moisture away from
your skin and dry quickly—all of which
make travel more comfortable, especially
in humid climates. Most performance
fabrics are either nylon or polyester and
some name brands include, Coolmax®,
Capilene® and Supplex®.
I packed a few of these tops which
came in handy in the hot, Mediterranean
weather. An added beneft is they didn’t
add much weight to my bag and quick-
drying meant they were easy to wash…
so I packed less. Since all-natural fabrics
are more comfortable (such as coton
and silk), but take a long time to dry, I
prefer to travel with middle-of-the-road
coton/poly blend fabrics which ofer both
comfort and performance.
Also, layering clothing items helped
keep my bag light. There’s no need to
pack three sweaters when one zip-up top
was easy to put over a Coolmax® shirt
base layer and then layer a windbreaker
on top of both. As it got hoter, I peeled-
of the layers, and then added clothes
back on as it got cooler. I was really glad
I also packed a long sleeve shirt with
sun-protection (“UPF”) against both
UVA and UVB rays for long days on deck
and sight-seeing. My wide-
brimmed hat was a winner,
too. I also packed a couple pair
of Capri’s, shorts and a skirt—
all under 18 pounds!
Travel Shoes—Everyone
knows shoes can be the
heaviest items in your bag.
I was able to travel with just
three pair of shoes: New
Balance runners (perfect for
hiking through ruins), Teva
Sandals (new design allowed
me to wear sightseeing on
Rhodes, on the sailboat, on
the beach and even to dinner!)
and a lighter pair of Sketcher
runners. I also took fip-fops
which were perfect for cold
marble foors, on deck and poolside.
Zip Clean Washing Machine (…or
Laundry on the Go)—The answer to
packing light: pack for a week and do
laundry. We knew in advance that our
Villa had a washing machine but no
dryer (similar to most European set-ups),
so we packed
accordingly. On
the sailboat we
were able to wash
our clothes in the
sink & hang to
dry topside. My
laundry secret is
to turn a gallon-
sized Ziploc bag
into a mini-
washing machine
by flling it with
water and travel
soap (shampoo in a pinch), toss in socks/
underwear, agitate and repeat with clean
water for the rinse cycle.
3 items that helped keep my bag under
18 pounds:
Large coton scarf: I pack a large scarf
for every trip: to cover my shoulders in
cathedrals and mosques, to stay warm
dining outside in the evening, and as a
blanket on the plane.
Silk long-underwear top: In addition
to my tech tops, I took one silk long-
sleeved top which was perfect for the
night we slept on-deck under the stars
as well as in the airport in the freezing
air conditioning. Natural fabrics are
generally warmer than synthetic and it
fts in a quart size Ziploc bag—now that’s
packing light!

L
ast summer, GoodBean owner
Mary Kell and art curator Hannah
West of Art Presence fell in love
with the hand-painted silk creations
by Judy Elliot. This month, Judy’s
“Dragonfy Designs West” collection,
featuring a hand-sewn kimono and a
spectacular hand-painted black and red
hibiscus wall hanging will be on display
along with other work.
Since last summer, Judy
has made plans to get
married, moved into a
new home, started a new
career and painted a lot
of silk. You’ll be treated
to an array of stunning
pieces that will make very
special gifts for Mother’s
Day. Along with hand-
sewn coton kimonos and Happi coats,
hand-painted silk scarves, handheld fans
and wall hangings, expect to see hand-
painted paper Japanese-style umbrellas!
Judy says, “Growing up in Hawaii,
I absorbed the tastes and cultures of
the Islands. My father, a photographer,
blessed me with an artistic eye for exotic
colors and shapes. Early on, I developed
an interest in Japanese fashion and design,
particularly the Kimono and Happi
(pronounced “Hoppi”) Coat, which I often
wore as a child while dancing.”
Judy adds, “Silk comes from the silk
worm and is spun into threads to weave
into various items. While visiting a silk
carpet manufacturing facility in Turkey, I
learned more about how the threads are
formed and used…it
is actually very strong
and durable. Silk is a
unique item to paint on
and requires trial and
error before beginning
the process. I enjoy
working with silk,
experimenting with
new ways to use it.”
Hannah West notes,
“We anticipate a colorful show with
graceful designs that will create a lovely
ambience in the GoodBean for everyone
to enjoy this month. And, we look
forward to seeing you and your Mom
on Mother’s Day 2013, and hope you
consider one of Judy’s gorgeous pieces for
a gift she will never forget!”

“My Neighbors
Garden” is
actually one of my
neighbors! Ron
and Julie Kantor
are newbies to
Jacksonville, transplanting here after two
long years of building and waiting for the
timing to move from their Napa home.
Right of the
bat, the Kantors
had to deal with
their Wells Fargo
home's hillside
grade issues.
After working
through re-design
and retaining
wall issues, they
are now tucked
into their home
and working full tilt on design of their
back garden…or more specifcally,
their “mission style, hint of Asian,
retreat.” Entering their home, your eye is
immediately drawn to the large windows
framing the structures, natural elements,
and forms evolving in the garden. On
the same level, the view is a continuous
sweep from home to
outdoor. I absolutely
fell in love with the
environment they
are creating, and it
made me want to rip
out my garden and
start over! (A not-so-
happy thought for
my husband!)
Ron and Julie's
excitement is evident
as they talk about the garden! Both are
fnding therapy and joy in designing and
fnding out what they have in common
with the selection of plants, pots, and
decor. Ron had a very clear idea of what
he wanted, but it changed due
to water diversion issues and
deer. Neither like the “fence
look” so with the help of a
landscaper, they put “wants”
down on paper, and integrated
them into dealing with those
issues. The water problem
drove them to what is now
the focus of the garden…a
gorgeous dry creek bed
running the entire width of
the back. Flanked on the sides
by mounded planting beds,
(a feature repeated throughout) garden
art, specimen trees, and large boulders
are already creating a look of their own!
A beautiful contrast lies just beyond the
creek bed where the back half of their
property is left natural. It continues in
a mesmerizing pastoral scene under
small oaks, creating a
canopy over gentle grasses.
Afternoon sunlight warms
the grass tips and tree bark, providing a
landscaping feature money cannot buy,
while deer graze in the shadows.
The garden boulders tie into the texture
of the rock retaining wall, creating a
strong 3-way partnership with the creek
bed. In the center
of the garden, a
meandering stone
patio surrounds
a 3-foot pillar
stone fountain that
trickles onto rocks.
Rock slab benches
placed perfectly
along the walking
area unify the
entire garden.
Julie's greatest joy has been discovering
all the plants available that she can play
with! Suggested plants were not used, as
Julie and Ron take pleasure in fnding the
perfect, unusual specimen tree or shrub
for each spot. Each plant has its own story
and was selected based on what they love,
and fts the look they want. Instead of
a “plan,” they are
creating from the
heart and are taking
“one plant at a time.”
Rustic terracota
pots hold bamboo.
Another perfectly
placed, earthy glazed
pot holds a curly
“Walking stick.”
From tiny islands of
sea thrift, to Japanese
maple, a creamy white dogwood in a back
bed, shade tucked hellebores, and several
individual evergreens like a Hudson
Spruce, it is becoming part of who they are.
Both mentioned they feel like “parents”
each day, looking at each
plant and seeing what it is
doing, and how it has grown,
or for Julie, fnding a new
bird sharing what they have
planted! She and Ron both
love to just “be” in the garden
and enjoy the time they have
to enjoy it. Each step in the
process is being savored! In
no time they will be enjoying
evenings with a glass of wine,
as they listen to their fountain
bubble, watch the birds, and
see how “their children” have grown!

S
pring ofcially arrived
on March 20 and with it
the chance to spend more
time outdoors amidst new growth
with a reinvigoration of color and
texture in the landscape. Some
would say that spring is the best season of all, and I’d
have a hard time arguing with
them. It’s always exciting working
alongside Mother Nature in
bringing to life new outdoor areas
in our town and region.
When we think of spring, it’s
important to remember that the
things we do for the interior of our
homes carries over into outdoor
spaces. You probably know what
I’m talking about—spring cleaning!
Most of us would agree that our
homes beneft from a good spring cleaning and this is
equally true for landscaping. The frst, most obvious
thing to do is clearing out dead plant material, which is
really important. Most properties can be cleared of old
growth and unwanted plant material in as litle time as a
weekend. But there are a number of other steps needed
to “clean up” a landscape, including tearing out outdated
designs, and incorporating an irrigation system. Adding
or seasonally updating an irrigation system can improve
the strength of the spring growth in any outdoor area.
With a clean, fresh and newly-irrigated lawn, new
plantings can be just the solution for a springtime
update. Some of the most traditional blooms we associate
with spring weather are those that grow from bulbs,
so these would naturally have to be planted in the fall.
Sometimes I like to take look at a landscape in the spring
and note the color that should be added with bulbs
the coming fall. I would advise that you make sure to
record your plans for bulb planting, so that when fall
comes around, you’ll have some specifc steps to take. In
a diferent vein, planting a vegetable
garden in the spring can bring much
more immediate results. Often, a
dedicated planting bed for vegetables
can transform an outdoor area from
one that is beautiful to one that’s
benefcial and provides nutritional
foodstufs at the same time!
This is a great time of year to take
note of how spring colors bursting
from your yard can be incorporated
into outdoor areas. If you have
outdoor furniture that is starting to fade, an update
can be achieved by adding a few new throw pillows,
or simply replacing the outdoor cushions with one’s
complimenting your garden plantings. Annual blooms
can be added to planters and garden beds for a minimal
cost with a maximum return in color impact. I invite
you to join me in celebrating the season by embracing
the beauty, hope and new life that a litle atention to
colorful details can bring to your outdoor living area.
P
uncturevine is a tap-
rooted annual, with
small, 5-petaled yellow
fowers, and small, hairy opposite
leaves. Its tendrils can reach 10’ in length! It produces
thorny seeds, which when mature will split into smaller
segments. The thorns dry to iron hardness, and can be
transported in tires, feet, shoes, etc.
Learn to recognize this plant early—This plant starts
producing seeds almost immediately after germination!
Recognizing it and killing it before seed production is
crucial in gaining control. The mid-vein on the seedling
leaves is a clear indicator that you’re dealing with the right
villain, and this size is just the right time to get ahead of the
seed production curve.
Use the right tool at the right time—At seedling stage,
this plant can be easily controlled by cuting the taproot,
spraying, burning, even pouring boiling water on it! Once it
starts producing seeds, those methods no longer apply. The
only method for true control in seed-production stage is to
sever the taproot, and bag the plant. Complete removal is the
only way to control the plant once seeds are produced, and
I’ve seen plants as small as silver dollars producing seed!
If the plants you’re dealing with have produced seed,
for Pete’s sake, don’t drive there!—If and when it’s safe,
get the propane burner out and scorch the area. Even
if you don’t kill the seeds, you’ll burn of the spines,
thereby removing it’s method of transportation.
Try this site—htp://oregon.gov/ODA/PLANT/WEEDS/
index.shtml. It’s important to utilize all the tools at our
disposal. If you’re a more tactile person, a book I’ve
found quite useful (great pictures) is Weeds of the West.
The city and county have
many priorities, so don’t be
mistaken into thinking that
road frontage that abuts
your property will be taken
care of by someone else!
Remember, your property
will sufer from lack of
weed control along roads
adjacent to your property, and your property will lose
value, so take charge! The city and county appreciate
your help. Also remember, if you use herbicides, read
and follow the label explicitly.

HomeCare
by Graham Farran, Expert Properties
S
outhern Oregon seems to
be built on an ant hill and
we always receive questions
about how to get rid of the litle
intruders. We Googled, “How to get rid of Ants” and
found lots of advice and ideas which we recapped below.
Since there are too many ideas for us to test, we have
bolded comments on methods we at Expert Properties
have tested and found successful.
Adhesive Tape —Create a “moat” around the object by
surrounding it with adhesive tape placed sticky side up.
Boric Acid—Give ants the heave-ho by sprinkling
boric acid along any cracks or crevices where you’ve
spoted the intruders. Note: boric acid can be toxic if
ingested by young children or pets. This is one solution
we have tried and it worked.
Chalk—Keep ants at bay by drawing a line around home
entry points. Ants will be repelled by the calcium carbonate
in chalk, which is actually made up of ground-up and
compressed shells of marine animals. Scater powdered
chalk around garden plants to repel ants and slugs.
Cloves and Bay Leaves—Sprinkle ground cloves and/
or crushed bay leaves—ants hate them and will run
screaming… listen hard, they have tiny mouths!
Colony-Find the Source—If you fnd the colony, you
have it made and can kill the eggs and the queen. We
followed a line of ants to a wood pile, lifted up some logs
to fnd thousands of eggs and noticed a mad shufe as
the worker ants tried to carry the eggs to safety…they
were stopped by a can of RAID.
Flour—Sprinkle a line of four along the backs of
pantry shelves or wherever ants are entering the house.
Repelled by the four, ants won’t cross over the line.
Lemons—Squirt lemon juice on door thresholds and
windowsills and holes or cracks where the ants are
geting in. And, scater small slices of lemon peel around
the outdoor entrance.
Mint—Ants don’t like mint so pour dry mint or extract
on their path—they won’t cross the area. Keep repeating
and they will usually go away.
Oranges—In a blender, make a smooth puree with orange
peels in 1 cup warm water and slowly pour the solution over
and into anthills to send the litle pests packing.
Pepper—Ants are always looking for sugar so give
them pepper instead. Cayenne pepper sprinkled along
the backs of your countertops or on your baseboards will
say, “No sugar ahead!”
Raid—Do advance work and take everything out from
under your kitchen sink and wash it all with a cleaning
solution. Then using "Raid" Ant killer, spray around
where the pipes come out of the foor or wall. Spray
along the foor line, including near your refrigerator
and around your window. We have used this at Expert
Properties and it has worked well.
Salt—Intercept them by sprinkling salt across the door
frame or directly on their paths and you will discourage
them from crossing this barrier.
Talcum Powder—Scater talcum powder liberally
around the house foundation and other points of entry
such as doors and windows. Other efective organic
repellents include cream of tartar, borax, powdered
sulfur, and oil of cloves. You can also try planting mint
around the house foundations.
Terro—You simply set Terro traps out on your kitchen
sink or whereever you have ants and in theory the ants
not only get poisoned but take the poison back to the
nest. This worked well for us.
vinegar—Pour equal parts water and white vinegar into
a spray botle and spray it on anthills and around areas
where you see the insects—they hate the smell of vinegar
In case the above mentioned home remedies don’t
work, seek professional help and hire an exterminator.
If you have any additional comments or ideas on how to
get rid of ants, please give us your input on our blog at htp://
expertprops.com/blog/. Expert Properties specializes in real estate
management, sales and furnished rentals. See ad on back page.
How to Get Rid of Ants
T
here are many answers that come from asking
the above question. Many collectors may
know the diference, but for a lot of us, it can
be confusing. Since purchasing an item when you are
unaware of its true place in history may cost you, a
review of the various designations is in order.
Collectible: In general, items of signifcance, beauty,
value or interest that are not “Antique” (100 years older
or more) fall into the realm of collectibles. However, not
all collectibles are limited editions and many of them
have been around for decades.
Examples include popular turn-
of-the-last-century posters, Art
Deco and Art Nouveau items,
carnival and Depression-era
glass. Most people today refer
to collectible items as those that
have been manufactured between
1960 and 1979. In addition,
there exists the “contemporary
collectibles,” featuring items like
plates, fgurines, bells, graphics,
steins, Beanie Babies and dolls
from the 1980’s and up. So when you compare antiques
to collectibles, remember the saying, “Antiques stand the
test of time.” Their value remains stable. Collectibles,
however, are priced more on a whim and their long-term
value is highly speculative. Use caution when investing
in collectibles as opposed to antiques.
vintage: Vintage refers to objects actually from a
certain time period. Some people defne vintage as
having a specifc date range, but in most cases, objects are
considered vintage depending on the date of manufacture.
In other words, an item described as “vintage” should
speak of the era in which it was produced and be
representational and recognizable as belonging to the era
in which it was made. “Vintage” would not be used on an
object that is less than 20 years old.
Retro: The word “retro” means “relating, or being
the styles and fashion of the past; fashionably nostalgic
or old-fashioned.” Retro furniture may not actually be
old but it references styles of the recent past. Most retro
items would fall within the 1970-1989 timeframe.
Mid-Century: Mid-Century is defned roughly as
the time period 1935-1965. During this time, there were
many architectural and interior designers who took Art
Deco, the prevailing style of the
day, and advanced the design
elements with a sleeker, more
horizontal-line. Architects such
as Quincy Jones, Albert Frey
and Richard Neutra created an
exterior style that we recognize
as Mid-Century. Furniture
designers such as Heywood
Wakefeld, the Eameses, Arne
Jacobsen and Isamu Noguchi
created the same for interior
designs. With the returning
servicemen from World-War II who were exposed
to new design elements in the European and Asian
markets, there became a great demand for the “new”
Danish Modern, Chinese-Modern and Italian designs
that defne Mid-Century.
These are general guidelines to help defne the
diferent terms you will encounter while “Antiquing”
or shopping at a fea market. There is a lot of fun and
joy in collecting and buying your treasures so it’s
important for an item to “speak” to you whether it is a
collectible, vintage, retro or mid-century. You should feel
a connection to it and appreciate its beauty.

Author and Illustrator Kurt Cyrus to
visit Jacksonville Elementary!
The 3rd Annual Jacksonville
Elementary School’s Writers’ Festival
will be held on Thursday, May 2 from
6:00-8:00pm in the school gymnasium.
Author and Illustrator, Kurt Cyrus, will
be the event’s keynote speaker. Mr. Cyrus
is the author and illustrator of numerous
children’s books, including The Voyage of
Turtle Rex, Tadpole Rex, and Hotel Deep.
He has also illustrated a number of books
such as Hibernation Station and Mammoths
on the Move. The Writers’ Festival is a
school-wide event, featuring the work of
every student at Jacksonville Elementary.
During the festival, students meet in small
groups with local authors, journalists,
educators and other writing enthusiasts
who serve as mentors and facilitate a
discussion of each student’s writing. We
invite the community and local authors
to join us for his keynote address. Thank
you for supporting and celebrating our
young authors!

Father/Daughter Dance
Our frst annual Father/Daughter Dance
is scheduled to be held in May (date/time
TBD). The girls will dance the evening
away with their special loved one (father or
grandfather or uncle, etc...). We are looking
forward to this fun event!
The fog rolled in and the rain began
when we moved to Jacksonville in
November, 1995. I loved our new home
and community, but I remember looking
out at the rain in January wondering
how long? When spring came, my
concern disappeared! I had no memory
of living anywhere with this astonishing
abundance of beauty. Walking in the
woods was an introduction to wildfowers
I had never seen; birds
I’d never glimpsed or
heard. Now, 17 years
later, winter is past
and spring is here!
Patches of sunlight
coax a few early
bloomers like previews
of coming atractions.
Teasing notes of
songbirds stop us in
our tracks for a one-
sided game of hide and
see. Today, the curtain has come up on
the main atraction: fowers exuberantly
blooming and birdsongs heard on the
Woodland Trails.
Along the trail there is a forgoten litle
handful of elegant Fawn Lilies with one
dandelion included, a child’s intuitive
knowledge of complimentary color. They
lie on the ground wilted and crumpled.
Perhaps they were innocently picked
and ofered to a parent and received
a scolding, spoiling the wonder, and
therefore discarded. Or perhaps it was
carelessly taken and thrown away. I hope
neither scenario happened. I remember
long ago when I was fve, picking so
many dandelions that I had to carry them
in my blouse. I was on a path next to a
stream trickling through a feld to my
grandma’s house. It seemed I held all the
brilliance that nature could ofer in those
soft, yellow heads and I ofered them to
grandma. First she gently taught me that
fowers are to be freely shared, but when
found in the woods, we leave them to live
their lives in their natural home. Then she
taught me that the Dandelion can be used
as food and drink and she placed one
fower under my chin to show me how
it could detect whether or not a person
liked buter—an amazing fower!
Today Shooting Stars abound;
their stems each form a French curve
ending in the perky red violet fower
with a dark purple accent. They make
luxurious splashes of color all through
the woodlands. Hound’s Tongue waits
patiently for those other wild fowers to
make its grand entrance, now it is out
mingling among them creating a stunning
display. It parades a palete of color that
plays across the blue family from sky
blue to ultramarine and fnally fading to
lavender before it is spent. The leaves of
the plant suggest its name as they wrap
up around as if licking the thick stalk.
With the woodlands bursting with
beautiful color and fragrance, the birds
have joined in for a late morning songfest
adding another
sensory dimension to
this morning’s walk.
Hearing a woodpecker,
I look high and low to
fnd it and discover an
Acorn Woodpecker,
possibly on its way
home from Arizona
and just stopping by for
a litle nourishment. I
know where to look for
my favorite Woodland
friend: the shy Rufus Sided Towhee.
It is black with burnt orange sides and
white breast—and even has stripes and
spots—it just doesn’t get much beter! Its
song is “Towhee,” frst and second verses
and chorus alike. I hear it on the ground
in the dry leaves under the bushes. I still
have a small book from childhood simply
called “Birds.” It is one of the Golden
Library of Knowledge books. I loved
it and it shows; the book is well-worn
and thumbed-through. On page 51 is
an illustration of the Towhee explaining
that it is sometimes mistaken for a robin
and feeds on the ground. The pages that
aroused new curiosity in me as a child are
now a litle brown, but it opened a door
of fascination that has accompanied me
through life.
When I was growing up my
favorite white fowers were Lilacs. No
manufactured scent can come close to
the natural perfume when I bury my
nose into a cluster of lilacs. They helped
awaken in me the wonder of the earth’s
natural treasures. But nothing in my
childhood prepared me for the radiant
purity and simplicity of the Trillium.
Today, after crossing two bridges on
the Woodland trail, we come to a low
area near to Jackson Creek. It has been
expertly staged to focus on the Trillium.
Oh Glorious Day! Each plant has three
wide green leaves surrounding three
white petals with a crown of brilliant
yellow in the center. The petals point to
the heavens and my eyes follow them up
as I whisper a grateful, “Thank You.”

Kiwanis Honors March
Student of the Month
PJ Flores and Kiwanis' Dave Wilson
In April, the Kiwanis Club of
Jacksonville was pleased to honor
PJ Flores as Student of the Month
for March. PJ is a junior at South
Medford High School, and is the
son of Jamie and Tomas Flores of
Medford.
He is currently taking English 3,
Geometry, American History, and
Biology, but his favorite is Ceramics,
and he has been developing skills
working in that class.
His goals include working to get
higher grades so he can go to college.
After college, he wants to work in the
construction industry and become a
construction supervisor.
He says his older sister has infuenced
him the most, pushing him hard to get
his grades up and has always helped him
when needed.
With the type of young people that the
Kiwanis honors each month, the future of
our country is in good hands!

F
rom the
moment
we become
parents we realize
our lives are no
longer our own; so much more is at
stake. We take the tiny, helpless infant
into our arms and commit our lives to
the new demanding stranger. Without
hesitation we vow to love and protect
them. We promise to share all our worldly
knowledge and experience with them and
expect nothing in return.
We are commited to being successful
and research what professionals consider
to be the best baby proofng products,
safest car seats, strollers and high chairs.
We consciously select toys that will
stimulate curiosity, excitement and
learning. Our bathrooms become small
drug stores flled with pain relievers,
diaper creams, bandages covered with
cartoon characters, stool softeners,
toothache gel…we want to be prepared
for anything.
Well worn copies of What to Expect
When You’re Expecting and the First Year
sit side-by-side on the book shelf; an even
more tatered copy of The Discipline Book
is at the bedside riddled with dog ears,
underlined passages and sticky notes.
Meanwhile, The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem
sits splayed open on the cofee table. We
are proactive, methodical and diligent
parents. However, nothing could have
prepared you for _______ (fll in your
own blank).
As parents our dreams are flled
with images of eternal happiness and
unlimited opportunities for our children.
Every waking moment is focused on
helping them to achieve that happiness
by teaching them about all the wonderful
things the world has to ofer. Through it
all, our mission is to make sure they feel
safe and loved. So what happens when
we fall from grace?
A parenting fact is that going from
feeling omnipotent to incompetent
is inevitable because, in reality,
disappointment, injustice and pain are
all unpredictable. It’s natural to want to
protect our children from harsh reality,
but it’s impossible. We cannot be with
them every moment, everyday to ward
of evil doers. There comes a time when
we must trust that our children will be
cared for by others, trust our adolescent’s
judgment and trust that we are making
the best decision for our children, even
when the options are lousy. And like it
or not others will not care for them as we
would, they will have errors in judgment
and disappoint us on more than one
occasion, and parents, even after doing all
that homework, we will make plenty of
wrong decisions along the way.
Everyone makes mistakes and
sometimes bad things happen to good
people. How we deal with challenging
situations and the emotions they evoke
and how we navigate ourselves and our
children through such adversity is what
makes the diference. It can ultimately
defne who we are and who they will
become. When they make mistakes or
bad things happen to them use it as an
opportunity to teach them how to draw
strength from the experience, learn from
it and eventually ofer/accept forgiveness.
Keep in mind it’s easier for most people
to extend forgiveness than it is to receive
it; which can be detrimental to their
subconscious for years. And clarify the
diference between a victim mentality and
an empowered survivor.
Our actions are the only thing we
can control and we need to make sure
children learn this through conversations
that help them to understand cause
and efect. Children don’t come with
instruction manuals and none of us are
equipped with a What to Expect During
Your Life Expectancy guide. All we can
do is our best and believe that the bad
experiences we endure have a greater
purpose and embrace the notion: that
which does not kill us only makes us
stronger characters!
microfber travel towel: I used this
every day since both the villa and
sailboat only provided 1-2 towels for
each of us. Because of the quick drying
microfber fabric and its XL size, I was
able to use this for an extra towel for the
beach/bath and pool as well as a sarong/
cover-up for my swimsuit, and it packed
down to the size of a paperback book.
Hopefully these tips have inspired you
to try some of these packing light ideas
on a future trip. Save valuable travel
dollars (not to mention your back) and
have less stress while you’re at it. Less
stuf = less stress. A good moto for life.

f you are over the age of 40,
you have probably noticed
a decrease in your ability to
see things up close. This natural
aging process, during which the
eye’s crystalline lens loses its ability
to focus on near objects, is called presbyopia. In early
stages, you may discover that if you just hold things a
litle further away, you are able to focus well enough.
But eventually, as your arms seem too short to reach that
focus, you will need another solution.
While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed,
there are now several options available to treat it,
depending on your lifestyle. You may choose reading
glasses, whether prescription or over-the-counter, to
relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading
or using a computer. Over-the-counter type readers will
not correct astigmatism or compensate for a diference
between the right eye and the left eye. In addition, the
inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may
have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or
headaches. Prescription readers will provide the clearest,
most comfortable vision for near activities.
If you fnd the constant search for reading glasses to
be inconvenient, you may want to consider bifocals.
These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you
look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze
downward. Bifocals may be used even if you do not
need a distance prescription. If you don’t like the look
of bifocal lenses, progressive lenses can give you all the
benefts of a bifocal without the visible line.
Another option for treating presbyopia is contact
lenses. Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in
the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye.
Alternatively, you may be a candidate for bifocal contact
lenses, which correct distance and near in both eyes.
While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to
change focus from distance to near like they did when you
were younger, you may opt for monovision correction
similar to the contact lenses above. Other surgical
corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in
which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a fexible
implant. This implant can change position in the eye and
allow you to focus on both distance and near objects.
Presbyopia can be very frustrating, especially if
you have never needed vision correction before. Your
optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and
help you to fnd the best solution to meet your needs.
O
steoporosis is a skeletal
disorder that results in
decreased bone strength
and increases the risk of fractures. It
is estimated that 200 million people
have osteoporosis worldwide, with
10 million Americans having the
disease—8 million women and 2
million men. It is projected that by
2020 there will be almost 14 million
Americans with osteoporosis.
Surprisingly, osteoporosis is much more common
than other diseases which usually catch the public’s
atention, and it does not get recognized early enough,
even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to
death. There are approximately 1.5 million osteoporotic
fractures per year in the United States. This includes
700,000 spine fractures, 300,000 hip fractures, 250,000
wrist fractures and 300,000 other fractures.
Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also
in men. Aside from family history and menopause in
women, there are several conditions and medications
that may predispose a person to lose bone. The most
common are chronic steroid use, anticonvulsants,
depot progesterone, methotrexate, hyperthyroidism,
hyperparathyroidism, vitamin D defciency, celiac
disease, infammatory bowel disease, alcohol abuse, low
testosterone levels in men, and low estrogen levels in
premenopausal women.
The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA
scan/bone mineral density, which is a painless test
similar to geting an X-ray. It is covered by Medicare
and most commercial health plans. Screening is
recommended for:
• All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and
older, regardless of risk factors
• Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-
70 and older with risk factors
• Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring
spontaneously, or following minor trauma such as
fall from a standing height)
• Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or more
• Individuals with a history of primary
hyperparathyroidism
The main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent
fractures. This is achieved by modifying risk factors,
addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and
medications that increase the risk of developing
the disease. There are several medications that are
FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of
osteoporosis.
• Bisphosphonates (Fosamax, Actonel, Boniva, Reclast)
• Denosumab (Prolia)
• Teriparitide (Forteo)
• Calcitonin
• Raloxifene
• Estrogen
In addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic
treatments, calcium and vitamin D supplementation
should also be part of the regimen.
Lately, there has been some controversy about the
use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence
of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw.
As with any treatment, the risks and benefts have to be
weighed and information from research studies has to
be analyzed in the appropriate context. I would advise
discussing questions or concerns regarding the diferent
treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which
is best for you.
Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both
men and women. But the consequences of untreated
osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be
lessened by early detection and timely treatment. If you
or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or
is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high,
please talk to your doctor about screening.

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), Acute
Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone
marrow transplant. Imagine fnding-out that your
husband, wife or child didn’t have long to live without
a bone marrow transplant. Recently, this happened to
a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to
learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National
Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients
die before they fnd a match. Our friend was fortunate
to have found a match and we are praying the outcome
will result in the long-term remission of his disease.
What can you do to ensure more are able to fnd a
lifesaving match? It's simple, convenient and free. If
you are between 18 & 44, I invite you to come to the
Bigham Knoll Campus in Jacksonville on Tuesday,
May 14th between 10:00am-2:00pm and join the
“Be the Match Registry.” After flling-out a short
registration form and a basic medical questionnaire,
all that’s left is a simple swab from of the cells of your
cheek. It's that easy and by taking 10-20 minutes out of
your day, you could end-up being the life-saving match
that someone's loved one has been waiting for.
Once matched, Be the Match Foundation covers all
costs associated with harvesting marrow from donors.
Although partially funded by the government, much
of their ability to fnd new donors is made possible
through fundraising initiatives. Each completed donor
swab test kit costs the foundation approximately $100.
Our goal at this drive at Bigham Knoll is to register
as many new potential donors as we can to help save
lives, and also raise some money to donate to the Be
the Match Foundation. If you are a corporation or
individual that would like to sponsor this drive in any
way, please contact Cristie Fairbanks at 541-899-2099 or
[email protected]. I look forward to seeing
you at the drive on Tuesday, May 14th!
Bigham Knoll Campus is located at 525 Bigham Knoll in
Jacksonville. From the corner of 5th Street and “F” Street (at
Rays Food Market) head east until the street ends at the campus.

Natalia Nazartchouk has joined Dr. Andrew Watson
at Ruch Family Medicine and is currently accepting
new patients. She is a Board Certifed Family Nurse
Practitioner and, additionally, has been certifed as an
Advanced Diabetes Management Practitioner by the American Diabetes Association. Natalia received
her Master of Science degree from University of Massachusetts in 2002 and, for the last 11 years, has
engaged in advanced medical practice, both in ambulatory and hospital care environments.
Key specialties of her medical experience include family primary care, cardiology, advanced
diabetes management, geriatrics, and women’s health. As a Family Nurse Practitioner, Natalia
places strong emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention.
Natalia’s Philosophy of Care: “Compassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical
aspects of healthcare. I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on
trust, comfort, and understanding, and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family. I am
a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools,
which will help to promote their personal wellbeing.”
R
ecently,
I helped
a client
identify old
emotional issues
that kept sabotaging his opportunities for
success. “I thought I let that go!” he told
me in frustration.
What does “leting go” mean? When
a project or an aspiration doesn’t play
out the way we want, it’s normal to feel
disappointment, sadness, anger and
even depression. Painful emotions can
make us want to shut down. This is a
very common
survival refex.
By ignoring
our feelings,
we deny their
importance. Just
like cleaning
out the closet
by shoving
everything in
and slamming
the door shut.
Sooner or later
you have to
deal with it.
Unresolved issues are likely to keep
creating similar challenges. If we take
time to truly “feel” our feelings and take
responsibility for our part in creating the
situation or challenge, we can come to a
place of acceptance and surrender and
truly let go. Leting go makes you feel
free, lighter and ultimately peaceful, just
like after spring-cleaning when you can
open the closet and feel good.
If we keep blaming something or
someone else, we stay stuck. As we take
responsibility for our feelings and our
part in the situation, the healing begins.
It is equally important to acknowledge
factors beyond our control. We can then
begin the surrender process and self-
forgiveness. Taking time to discover and
embrace the lessons will help you make
beter choices in future situations and
also help in leting go. If you cannot see
the lesson immediately, give yourself
time. Facing ourselves
honestly and staying
open to feelings
when we are in
pain takes great
strength and
bravery. It is in
this challenging
process that we
acquire emotional/
spiritual muscles. “It takes great learning to
understand that all things, events, encounters
and circumstances are helpful." ~ A Course in
Miracles.
Here’s a simple Yoga Meditation for a
peaceful mind, to help you process and
“Let Go:”
Sit in a chair, or cross-legged on the
foor with a straight spine (leaning
against a wall can help). Slow down your
breathing and close your eyes.
Man Suhaavee Mudra Kriya: the mudra
(hand gesture), which pleases the mind:
• Create a triangle with the tips of
the middle fngers together and the
tips of the thumbs together with the
pinkie and ring fngers curled into the
palm.
• Bend the index fngers so that they
touch each other at the middle joint.
Stretch thumbs toward you, middle
fngers point away.
• Bend your elbows, hands level with
your heart, about 4 inches from your
chest, forearms are parallel to the
ground.
• Inhale, gently hold your breath, and
mentally repeat 21 times: I am or I
am Peace.
• Exhale and mentally repeat the same
phrase 11 to 21 times. Within three
minutes, your mind will become
tranquil.
• To end, focus on your heart,
breathing in Peace, breathing out
Peace, as you relax your hands.
• Think about something you feel
grateful for. Dwelling in that
gratitude, begin to feel compassion
in your heart and embrace yourself,
your feelings and the individuals
around the situation bothering you,
without geting into “the story.”
Just feel compassion. Allow your
emotional waters to gently wash over
you just like spring showers and take
responsibility for your feelings.
You can start practicing for one minute
and gradually build up to three minutes.
Remember that only limiting thoughts
can limit your life. Feel the joy as you
truly begin to let go! Breathe in Gratitude-
Live in Joy.

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing
Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away
M
ay is the month to raise
awareness on multiple health
issues. It is High Blood Pressure
Education Month and Stroke Awareness
Month. Both are leading causes of death
in the United States and both can lead
to serious medical complications. As a
nationally certifed primary stroke center
and part of the largest telestroke network
in Oregon, Providence Medford Medical
Center is helping raise awareness of the
connection between good blood pressure
and good health.
“I need to get your blood pressure…” is a
common phrase at the start of any medical
checkup. But what does it really mean?
Blood pressure is a measure of the force
of blood moving through your arteries
as it is carried from your heart to the
rest of your body. It is measured with
two numbers, for example 120/80. The
top number, systolic pressure, measures
the force of blood in your arteries when
your heart contracts or beats. The botom
number, diastolic pressure, measures the
force of blood in your arteries while your
heart is relaxed and is flling with blood
between beats. High blood pressure is
140/90 or greater.
According to the American Heart
Association, one in three adults in the
U.S. sufer from long-term high blood
pressure—called primary or “essential”
hypertension—and 90 to 95 percent of
adult cases have no identifable cause.
Hypertension can be infuenced by many
sources, including stress and certain
medications such as antidepressants, birth
control pills and over-the-counter pain
relievers. High sodium diets, high cafeine
intake, pregnancy, and a sudden increase
in exercise intensity can also contribute.
Left unchecked, hypertension can lead to
heart disease and stroke. In fact, people with
untreated high blood pressure are four times
more likely to have a stroke. Hypertension
can also increase the risk of damage to your
eyes, blood vessels and kidneys.
Known as a “silent killer,” hypertension
has no symptoms but there are many
known risks. Everyone should get his or
her blood pressure checked on a regular
basis. If you can put a checkmark next
to any of the following conditions, you
may be at an increased risk for high blood
pressure:
• Overweight or obese
• Smoker
• Litle or no exercise
• Too much salt in your diet
• African American or Hispanic/
Latino/a
• Drinking too much alcohol
• High stress
• Family history of hypertension
Age, ethnicity, family history, and
gender can also affect a person’s risk
for having a stroke. The more risk
factors that you have the greater your
chance of developing hypertension or
suffering a stroke.
The good news is that hypertension can
be reduced and controlled through diet,
exercise, and sometimes with the addition
of medications to control hypertension.
Most anyone may start a low intensity
exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes
each day but it is recommended to check
with your physician frst if you have a
history of cardiovascular disease or if you
plan to start a moderate to high intensity
exercise program.
Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole
grains, fruits and vegetables and includes
low-fat, low-cholesterol foods. Be a
smart shopper by avoiding junk food
and decreasing the amount of processed
foods that you buy. Reduced cafeine
intake can also help lower your blood
pressure. Some people are more sensitive
to cafeine than others. Check your blood
pressure before and within 30 minutes of
drinking a cup of cofee. If it increases by
more than fve points after drinking one
cup, you may have cafeine sensitivity
that spikes your blood pressure. You may
need to moderate your cafeine intake.
Start monitoring your blood pressure
at home and have regular check-ups with
your health care provider. Right now,
National High Blood Pressure Education
Month is the perfect time to learn more
about your own blood pressure and how
controlling it protects your heart and
helps prevent heart atacks and strokes.

Middle Age is for the Birds
Expecting a new baby? Pregnancy is an exciting time
and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable.
Acupuncture is a safe and highly efective treatment for
expecting mothers.
How can acupuncture
be used in pregnancy?
The number one, most
efective acupuncture
treatment is turning
a breech baby. With
approximately two
ofce visits and some
treatment at home, the uterus can be stimulated to
turn the baby. Statistically, acupuncture is successful
in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+% of
the cases. Mothers that are afraid of needles can be
treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb). The
ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or
after. In conventional medicine, a breech presentation
requires a caesarian section which is much more painful
and expensive. The average cost of a caesarian section
delivery is well over $2,000. The cost of a couple of
acupuncture treatments is less than $200.
Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these
changes require a lot of energy. Acupuncture is highly
efective in increasing a mother’s energy both before and
after birth. The acupuncture Law of Mother/Child states
that if the mother is not energetic, healthy, balanced,
and happy, the baby and family sufer. It is difcult to
feel energetic after pregnancy, birth, and post-partum
feedings! Acupuncture can restore energy and balance.
Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during
pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness, relieving
constipation, increasing sleep, and inducing labor.
Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of
years. One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is
often called the “beautiful baby point.”
Denise Vore has a bachelor’s and
master’s degree in biology. She

Acupuncture and Pregnancy
By Denise Vore, MS LAc
O
ne of the more
interesting phenomena
of middle age is the
recognition of just how very
stupid you have been up to this
halfway point. Let's be honest:
in your teens you're simply an ass; in your twenties
you think yourself invincible; in your thirties you still
entertain the idea that it will be "like this" for decades
to come. Then, fnally, in your forties, you began to get
a glimpse over the hill that you didn't realize you were
climbing, and a dawning awareness begins to arise.
Until 45 or so, most of us feel like we really have our stuf
together; we think we're brilliant and special and, unlike
those other sad people, we are never going to have fappy
upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about
our tendonitis. We’re not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in
bed by 8:30. Not us.
My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling
experience. I now know, for example, why my parents
wanted to sit down at 5 o'clock and have a drink. I
understand this in a way I never did before because I am
there. Judgment is being supplanted by empathy. The
parenting business an obvious one for discovering one's
youthful arrogance, but other more subtle situations
illuminate my former hubris.
For example, I used to think that a fondness for
birds and bird watching was sort of sad, something
lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real
relationships. Lately, however, I sit on my front porch in
the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas, wrapped
in a blanket with my mug of tea, and I listen to the dawn
songs of mourning doves, robins, wild turkeys and
owls, and I realize now how very important they are.
The birds remind me of the perfection of being. Unlike
humans, they don't try. They are not out to impress,
not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt: they
just are themselves. I listen to their songs, smiling and
silently apologizing for my former arrogance.
It's good to wake up but it's a real blow to the ego. The
psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a
victory for the Self; as ego shrinks, our real self—the part of
us that is divine and eternal—grows. This is a good thing,
but the process is no picnic. To get to that higher Self, the
ego has to take a few in the keester. You have to get rid of
all the junk you've piled
up in order to feel safe
and smart. You have to
be humbled, and age is
nothing if not humbling.
Ironically, it is this ego
defeat that opens us to our
real power. Not having
to appear smart, you can
become wise. Being able
to say, "I don't know," is incredibly liberating; it opens you
up to the fullness of life's potential, removing the limitations
we unwitingly place on ourselves in our youth. I don't know
and I don't have to know. I can be interested. I can be open. I
can wonder. I can see what unfolds. I don't know it all, and I
never did, and I never will. Bliss.
I just turned 49, thank you, and the view from here is
prety amazing. I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and
my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch
with my bird friends. I'm less preoccupied about what I
have, and more concerned with what I am sharing. I get it
now. It’s only, and always, about singing your song.

S
ome recent changes have
been made in Jackson
County in regards to the
licensing requirements of dogs
and our role as veterinarians. I wanted to make sure
that our clients are aware of this change so there are no
surprises at your next veterinary visit. Though we at
Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this
change, like other veterinarians in the County, we will
now be required to report.
Efective May 20, 2013 veterinarians working in
Jackson County will be required to report all canine
rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services.
The goal of this program is to increase the number of
licensed dogs in the County, which is currently estimated
to be only around 40%. We will have 60 days to report
when a vaccine has been administered. At this point,
the County will check their licensing database to see if
your pet has been licensed. Clients without a current
license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing
requirements in the County, the benefts of licensing, and
the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation.
Benefts of licensing your dog include: it acts as a
life-saving form of identifcation, it helps get your pet
returned to you safely and quickly, it is a record that
your pet is vaccinated against rabies, and it provides
revenue to fund local animal services. Fees and penalties
to “bail out” an unlicensed dog start at approximately
$180! In comparison, a three year license for a spayed or
neutered dog in Jackson County is only $49.00.
As a way to reward responsible dog owners, the
County has recently developed a “Free Ride Home”
program. As many of you know, dogs are great at
fnding an open gate or door and heading out to explore
the world! If your licensed dog is found by an Animal
Control Ofcer, the ofcer will atempt to return your
dog free of charge. Or, if your dog ends up at the Shelter,
the frst night’s stay is free of charge.
While the recent changes may cause a few headaches,
I think overall that the program is well intended. Again,
I wanted to make sure that our clients, and other local
pet owners, are kept up to date so as not to be surprised
when they next visit. If you have further questions you
can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital
and we will do our best to answer them or you can call
Jackson County Animal Services directly.
In late March, Grant and dr. Susan Konecny
transferred ownership of their successful mobile
veterinary clinic, Home Pet vet, to dr. Julie Tavares.
The Konecny’s, who’ve lived in Jacksonville for ten years
explained, “It has been
almost fve years to the day
since Home Pet Vet began
operating our small animal
mobile service. We have
grown considerably since
then, caring for over 1000
pets and 400 clients!”
Dr. Konecny has been
struggling with tendon
problems in both of her
hands and elbows, a
serious condition which
has been aggravated over
the years by repetitive use.
As a result, she said, “I am
being forced to consider
surgery at this time due
to chronic discomfort and
pain. In addition to these physical concerns, my husband
Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the
need to spend signifcantly more time.”
Fortunately, Susan and Julie met while working
together on a veterinary board they both serve on. “Julie
is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to
take over the Home Pet Vet mobile service,” Susan said.
Dr. Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley
since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin
School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006. She grew up in
Pennsylvania and lived in many places before setling in
Southern Oregon with her husband, Duward. Since doing
so, the couple have had two children, Carmen, 4 and Vera,
2. Tavares notes, “During my years here, I have worked in
Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian.
In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of
people experiencing
homelessness in Grants
Pass. Eventually, my
volunteer work led to the
start of Homeless Oregon
Pet Project, a nonproft
that provides basic
veterinary care to the pets
of the homeless in Grants
Pass and Medford.”
Prior to vet school,
Tavares earned a B.S. in
Environmental Science
from the University of
Delaware and did a two-
year stint with the Peace
Corps in Guatemala,
working with indigenous
Mayan families. “I had
a wonderful experience and learned much about the
Mayan culture and myself…and also met Duward who
was a volunteer from the next town over.”
Dr. Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and
their pets dearly but knows she’s leaving HPV in great
hands. “Julie has excellent medical skills, knowledge,
standards and compassion that will serve you and your
pets very well. Grant and I hope you will welcome her as
you welcomed us these past fve years!”
Please contact Dr. Julie at 541-761-6163 and see her ad on
facing page.

Wizard of Dogs 2013 Dogs for the Deaf
Dog Walk
by Vaughn Maurice, General Manager,
Dogs for the Deaf, Inc.
A
s spring slowly fades to
summer, every dog owner in
the Rogue Valley hears that tiny
whisper in their head, “I am longing to
get out of the house with my pooch and
mingle with others like
myself.” And, whether
you are one who blasts
“Who Let the Dogs Out”
or simply hums along to
Cat Stevens’ “I Love My
Dog,” you know that each
time you’re singing along
to those beloved dog
tunes, one thought enters
your mind: “When, oh
when, is Dog Walk?”
That’s right folks, it’s

anticipated Dog Walk! This year’s furry
fun- flled festivities are on Saturday,

at the fnal stop wins the competition.
One might ask, “Well, what DOES the
best hand win, exactly?” How about
$1,000 in cold hard cash donated by our
friends at Rogue
Valley Pet?! We’ve
also added some
other PAWsome
prizes including:
Shakespeare
Festival tickets,
Jazz Festival
tickets, a weekend
getaway, and much
more. But the

Trail Talk
by Tony Hess and Bob Budesa
T
here are a few new items we’d
like to bring to your atention.
First of all, there is a new bridge
in Forest Park. You don’t have to wade
across Jackson Creek to get to the Old
Miners Trail from the Rail Trail!
The next item(s) are trail signs. Kevin
Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of
his Eagle Scout badge, and as such, has
built and installed signs throughout most
of the Woodland trails to keep people
from geting lost. He had quite a crew of
helpers who dug holes, buried posts, and
afxed signs at most of the intersections.
We’re certainly grateful to Kevin and his
crew for their hard work and dedication.
This nice weather is certainly making
it difcult to stay indoors, isn’t it? It’s
great seeing so many people out enjoying
the trails with friends and their dogs!
Speaking of dogs, it’s equally nice to see
so many of them on leashes! Hopefully
before long, we can count on everyone’s
favorite friend being controlled.
Ever wondered about the diference
between the trails in the Woodlands
and the trails in the Forest Park? The
Woodlands trails are, by now, very
comfortable for most to navigate, with
easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a
few exceptions!). They vary in elevation
from 1,590 feet to 2,190 feet. The Forest
Park trails start at 1,950 feet elevation
at the kiosk and Rail Trail, and climb to
3,300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge
Trail. For those who’ve not hiked there
yet, you’re in for a pleasant surprise. The
Forest Park hiking experience can either
be a stroll up the almost fat Rail Trail, or
hike alongside a stream up the Canyon
Falls Trail, and come to the Canyon Vista
trail head. Canyon Vista is a fat trail for
1.5 miles with awesome views from an
elevation of 2,600 feet, and the views go
all the way down the canyons and of to
the east beyond Medford. With relatively
fewer hikers, the Forest Park hikers can be
alone with their thoughts and nature.
Don’t miss an opportunity to visit
the Forest park trails. They’re a totally
diferent experience for the adventurer
who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty
of our city parks trails.
The Applegate Trails Association
(ATA) invites you on a fower-flled hike
on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and
the boundary of the proposed Wellington
Wild Lands. With cooperative weather,
we are guaranteed breathtaking views
into the Applegate Valley, Thompson
Creek and beyond to the distant Red
Butes. Look the other direction to view
Mt. Isabelle, Mt. McLoughlin and Forest
Creek from a whole new vantage point.
Much of the trail runs along the ridge
top on the edge of a vast open meadow
sprinkled with oak, buck brush, mountain
mahogany and the occasional big fr tree.
In the spring, waves of grass are overlaid
with bursts of blooming wildfowers
including California poppy, mountain
tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle.
At 3 miles total (out and back) along with
400 feet of elevation change, this hike is
rated moderate. For a few, an optional
longer and more difcult loop hike will be
ofered involving a steep trail of the end
of the ridge (rated moderate to difcult).
Hikers should wear appropriate
layered clothing for the weather and
sturdy footwear. Remember to bring
your camera and water. Please leave your
pets at home. We meet Saturday, May 18,
9:00am at the Bunny Meadows Staging
Area (intersection of Forest Creek and
Longanecker Road).
RSVP is requested. Contact the hike
leader, David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or
[email protected].
Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging
Area: From Jacksonville, travel 4.9 miles
southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and
turn right on Forest Creek Rd. From Ruch,
travel 2.8 miles northeast on Hwy 238
(towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest
Creek Rd. The staging area is 7/10 mile down
Forest Creek Road.

Each year in April, Kiwanis Clubs
throughout the Pacifc Northwest District
take on a community improvement
project called “Kiwanis One Day.” On
April 6th, the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club
cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway
238, next to the City Maintenance Center,
where a house had burned down several
years ago and had been left an eyesore.
The Club contacted the out-of-area
owner and obtained writen permission
to haul the debris to the recycling center.
Four Kiwanis members and a recent
Student of the Month and his father joined
forces and the work went fairly smoothly.
This was the fourth community project
the local Club has been involved in,
following the moto of helping one child
and one community at a time. Other
projects have included painting a house
across from the Post Ofce, painting the
eaves of the restroom building next to the
library, and cooperating with the Boosters
Club last year to refurbish the structures
at Doc Grifn Park.
For further information, contact Dave Wilson
at 541- 899-1934, e-mail: [email protected].

With spring fnally well along, there are
lots of reasons to get out and enjoy some
of your local trails, or beter yet, come out
and participate in
one of the upcoming
events sponsored by
the Siskiyou Upland
Trails Association
(SUTA).
On May 5th, join
a hike led by Janeen
Sathre from Wolf
Gap down to the
Sterling Mine Ditch Trail, ending at the
Bear Gulch Trailhead (SUTA will help
with a car shutle). The Wolf Gap access
trail ofers stunning views of the Siskiyou
Crest. The hiking route also wanders
through a diverse landscape.
Southern Oregon Runners and SUTA
are sponsoring the 2nd ‘Run the Ditch’
run on May 25th. This year’s run has both
5 and 10 mile routes, with both starting
and ending at the Tunnel Ridge Trailhead.
Based on the nearly 100 runners in last
year’s race, we anticipate a large turnout.
Visit www.sorunners.org for the route and
registration details. After the run, stop by
Buncom Days at Southern Oregon’s only
remaining ghost town!
SUTA will have a table at
the event, and there will
be a variety of activities
and entertainment.
It’s always an eclectic
gathering and great way
to learn more about this
bit of our local history.
June 1st is National
Trails Day and SUTA is coordinating with
BLM to construct a bypass trail in the
Armstrong Gulch drainage to create an
access route around a privately-owned
section of the SMDT. Coming out to help
on NDT is your opportunity to participate
in keeping this great community resource
open to all. In addition to some light
trail construction, there will be food and
festivities ofered by SUTA, BLM, and
other sponsors.
For details and directions for this and other
events, visit www.sutaoregon.org.
SUTA Updates and Coming Events
2013 marks the second year the Run
the Ditch Trail Run will take place in
the Litle Applegate. The event will take
place on May 25, 2013, at 9:00am with a
fve-mile and ten-mile race. Participants
will experience incredible views along
the Litle Applegate River and the historic
Sterling Mine Ditch Trail, dug by Chinese
gold mine workers in 1877. There will be
ribbon awards for the top three fnishers
in the age groups, as well as cash awards
for the three top male and female fnishers
in the ten-mile event. Plus, lots of prize
drawings for the early registration folks
will take place. The run is being co-
sponsored by Southern Oregon Runners,
Siskiyou Upland Trails Association
(SUTA) and BLM. For more details and/or
to register online, visit www.sorunners.org.
For more information, please call contact
race directors, Seth Weintraub at 541-899-7659
