an you feel the buzz in the airthe energy as our micro-town emerges from its winter slumber? This month and all summer long, there are so many events and positive things happening thanks to great people who are making a difference. Starting in May, anyone interested in history is in for a treat as multiple seasonal events kick-off and new ones begin. Up in the cemetery, Dirk Siedlecki and his team will again bring Jacksonvilles pioneer history alive with their monthly History Saturday and grave marker cleaning programs. And this year, in conjunction with History Saturday, Carolyn Kingsnorth of Jacksonville History, Inc. has created new Beekman House and Beekman Bank tours, bringing history and historic buildings back to life. Be sure to catch Behind the Counter, Victorian Architecture, and other Beekman House Living History tours. On May 4, celebrate Jacksonvilles German Heritage at Maifest, held from 1-5 at Bigham Knoll. Later in the month, a few miles west in the Applegate Valley, the Spring UnCorked barrel tour is on May 18. With food, music and art, the tour is another must-attend event. Be sure to stop at Red Lily Vineyards where Jacksonvilles favorite artist, Cheryl Garcia, is holding a very special show. (See article on page 4.) May 31-June 1, the Boosters Clubs Home, Garden & History Tour is a must-attend event, showcasing interesting homes, history and gardens. And speaking of gardens, the Garden Club presents its annual sale on May 9 & 10, just in time for Mothers Day. When the Britt Music Festival kicks-off in early June, I suggest taking a stroll around the venue to marvel at

the amazing upgrades to the area. The Britt Pavilion now has a new gateway, parking, lighting, restrooms, pathways and other improvements. And, the Lower Britt Gardens project is equally impressivethe gardens have never looked better, having been restored to their original glory. In conjunction with Britt and the city, the Boosters Club has just completed the 5-year-long garden restoration project. With hundreds of new plants, walkways, lighting and more, the project was made possible due in large part to the tireless efforts of Boosters Club volunteers Rob Buerk and Steve Casaleggio, both of whom contributed hundreds of hours to make it a reality. The Review would like to thank them and many others, who deserve our thanks for a job welldone. Today, the Lower Britt Gardens is something else to be proud of in our Small Town with Big Atmosphere!

ABOUT OUR COVER Jacksonville photographer and Photoshop guru Ken Gregg created another stunning cover for us this month. Ken is a founding board member of the newly-formed Historic Jacksonville, Inc., whose mission is creating events that will breathe life back into our historic buildings. This modern-day image of the Beekman House with its ghost-like images of some of Jacksonvilles early pioneers celebrates the return of History Saturday at the Jacksonville Cemetery and Beekman House.

The Pony Espresso Proudly Serves:

Did you know?

Metal Art Show Part of the Pulse

More than just great coffee . . .

Come experience why Pony Espresso is Jacksonvilles favorite coffeehouse! Keeping it local . . .
Jacksonvilles Only Drive-Up Window Tons of Outside Seating, and now more inside seating All Baked Goods, Soups, Sauces, and Dressings made from scratch in-house Enjoy Organic, Single Origin, and Fair Trade Coffees available by the pound Now offering over 20 Varieties of premium loose leaf teas. Local Wine Menu and Local Craft Beer on Tap! Daily Gourmet Flatbread Specials.

uring the May 18, 2014 Spring UnCorked barrel tour in the Applegate Valley, local metal artist Cheryl Garcia will be hosting another of her hugely-popular art shows at Red Lily Vineyards. The Review caught-up with Cheryl as she was in full production mode creating her enchanting metal art pieces for the show. This will be my third year doing the UnCorked show at Red Lilyits called, Pulse, and is inspired by the return of springtime energy. I plan to have 36-40 small, medium and large pieces for sale ranging in price from $35$3500, Cheryl says. In years past, all of her pieces have sold-out during UnCorked, a testament to having been recently named Best Local Artist by Southern Oregon Magazine. The metal artist first met Red Lily Vineyard owners Les and Rachel Martin after Cheryls now-famous poppy sculptures were planted on the Quail Run Vineyard slopes on the outskirts of Jacksonville. While building Red Lily, they saw my poppies and asked me to create their Bolander Lily along with a 60-bottle metal wine tree both of which are permanent outdoor art attractions at the vineyard. At my first UnCorked show, I displayed my metal art in their tasting barn and have been back every year! This Mays event will feature Cheryls art installed throughout the vast vineyard property. Its an amazing property and will take me about a month to set-up for the show. I plan to show small, medium and large-scale pieces and will have lots

of smaller grape leaf pieces, too. My wall hangings pieces are inspired by various bird images seen in natureall celebrating the return of spring. Much of Cheryls work includes functional garden pieces, most with bird, animal, garden and water themes. She notes, Functional outdoor art is rareI so enjoy creating something from raw metal like a garden gate or weather vane and oeno-spheres from repurposed wine barrel hoopssomething that brings joy to our everyday lives. The artist also takes great pride in utilizing and repurposing raw materials such as steel reclaimed from Hurricane Katrina and 12-foot steel water pipes reclaimed from the Butte Falls water system. Watching Cheryl work with blow torch in-hand is aweinspiring. I love working with serious raw materials like steel, aluminum, brass and bronzemy favorite of course is steel since its the most flexible, which I like heating and bending to create my art. In her studio, Cheryl admits, its like 4th of July everyday with sparks flying everywhere! With temperatures reaching 2400 degrees, another favorite metal-working tool is her plasma cutter, enabling her to blow through steel like butter as well as delicately write and draw images on the metal. Come meet the artist at Red Lily Vineyard and enjoy a full day of wine tasting at 19 other vineyards during this years Spring UnCorked Barrel Tour. Please see the ad for UnCorked on page 38 of this issue. Cheers!

Boosters 2014 Home, Garden & History Tour

Historic Courthouse Its that time again!Every two years, the Jacksonville Boosters Club presents its popular Home, Garden & History Tour, inviting the public visit to some of Jacksonvilles most fascinating properties. For 2014, the Home Tour will unlock the doors to three unique modern homes and four well-loved historic properties. The modern homes are: the Danko House (680 S. Oregon Street), with its signature turret reminiscent of the Victorian era and beautifully designed hillside gardens; the striking Maple House (660 S. Oregon Street), highlighted

Maple House by its delightful Storybook artists studio; and the Gracey House (430 Applegate Street, at S. Oregon), a very sophisticated remodel of an older home. Step into the past at Old City Hall (corner of South Oregon and West Main Streets) and enjoy some insight into civic life in the 1880s, courtesy of hosts Mayor and Mrs. Becker. In the adjacent fire museum, some of Jacksonvilles finest firemen will talk about fighting blazes way back when. Plus you can spend time in the old calaboose Jacksonvilles historic jailhouse!

Turner House Visit St. Josephs Rectory (corner of 4th and C Streets), home of Father Blanchet, hero of the smallpox epidemic and parish priest for 25 years; then continue on C Street to the historic Turner House (120 North 5th). Home of pioneer newsman William Turner, this significant property now boasts an elaborate back garden landscaped by new owner Leslie Vidal. A few steps away on North 5th is the star of the history show: the Jacksonville Courthouse. Tidied-up by the City, see how it may have looked just after its 1884 completion. Docents will show the

Danko House original offices and upstairs, in the great courtroom, Judge and Mrs. Hanna will share stories about this fine old building. Complimentary light refreshments will be served there. Tours will take place on Saturday, May 31 and Sunday, June 1, from noon to 5:00pm, with tickets available at the Visitors Information Center, North Oregon and C Streets beginning May 9. Admission is $14.50, unchanged from the last tour in 2012. Proceeds support Boosters community programs and projects in Jacksonville.

May is National Preservation Month

Jacksonville is unique in the United States as having one of the most intact and complete 19th-century commercial and residential groupings of buildings still remaining in the country. The City of Jacksonvilles National Historic Landmark District was listed in 1966, as authorized by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the Nation's historic places worthy of preservation. The National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect America's historic and archeological resources. What exactly is historic preservation and why do we do it? Its much more than saving old buildings! Historic preservation champions and protects places that tell the stories of our past. It enhances our sense of community and brings us closer together. It saves the places we take our children to school, buy our groceries, and stop for coffeepreserving the stories of ancient cultures found in landmarks and landscapes we visit protecting the memories of people, places, and events honored in our national monuments. In recognition of National Historic Preservation Month, the City of Jacksonville Planning Department is putting together some events to promote education about our historic district and ways in which we are actively preserving our buildings and unique sense of place. Below is a tentative list of events we have planned. Please check the City of Jacksonville website at jacksonvilleor.us in May for exact dates, times and locations. Open House with Building Officials and Historic Preservation Officer Come ask questions about your historic property Lecture with Southern Oregon University Archaeologist Chelsea Rose on recent city finds Talk and slide show with HARC Chair Donna Bowen about the restoration of the John Bilger House Open House/Tour of Jackson County Courthouse Grounds

The Unfettered Critic

by Paula Block Erdmann & Terry Erdmann

The Britt: Keeping Up with the Joanss
y now youve seen it. Its been trumpeted in newsprint, on radio and TV, in coffeehouse conversation, on Twitter and Facebook. And it should be. The Britt Festivals announcement of its 2014 lineup sets the stage for Jacksonvilles glorious warm weather entertainment celebration! As we expected, the Britt staff has assembled a wonderfully eclectic collection of performers. Some of the artists names strike a chord and bring a smile. Some may already have inspired you to jot down their date on the calendar. And, we suspect, several may have raised quizzical looks and an audible Huh? Lets take a peek (for more, go to www.brittfest.org). Could Jacksonvilles summer possibly kick off without a visit from Michael Franti? Nope. This year, the definitive reggae/funk/ rocker will start the afternoon with a live music yoga class for all ages at Bigham Knoll Field. Hell then dance back to the Britt for a high-energy evening concert with his band, Spearhead (June 24). On July 5, Pink Martini, the little orchestra from Portland featuring dynamic vocals by China Forbes, makes a return visit to the Hill. (And, FYI: on August 15 as a part of the Classical Festival, sexy soprano and Pink Martini alum Storm Large will light up the night with sizzling Kurt Weill cabaret ballads.) Its the first time here for Jennifer Nettles, country music singer extraordinaire, better known as vocalist for the group Sugarland. Trust usshes amazing. September 6. In addition to sharing a beautiful name, the wonderful thing in common about Amos Lee (July 16) and Tori Amos (July 19) is that theyre both extremely personal singer/ songwriters. Lees soulful pleas arise from a tradition of folk and blues; Toris pianoaccompanied compositions are heartfelt, raw and confessional. Expect an intimate evening of emotion, lyric and melody from each. Now, about those names some of us may not yet be familiar with, such as The Fray (June 16), Fitz and the Tantrums

3rd St.

(June 22) and The Head and the Heart (September 2)heres a commandment to live by: Just because no one has carded us at one of Jvilles liquid dispensaries in recent years doesnt mean we should close our minds to new performers. Got it? The same goes for the comedians booked for the Hill: Brian Regan, whose humor, were told, is family friendly (August 23), and country comic Rodney Carrington, whose patter, were told, isnt (September 5). Special Unfettered mention goes to amazing rockers The Tedeschi Trucks Band (reallydont miss these folks!) (July 18), and the two guys with the fastest fingers in show business, guitarist Tommy Emmanuel (July 26) and ukuleleist (yes, thats a word) Jake Shimabukuro (June 26). And now for our favorites: When Joan Jett recorded I Love Rock N Roll, she emerged as a brilliant straight-ahead rocker. Shes been a driving musical force ever since. Her fourteenth studio album includes the song Everybody Needs a Hero. Musically, Joan Jett is one of ours. (August 31). Britts announcement that Joan Baez would appear in town was our happiest surprise. From her self-titled album in l960, to Woodstock, to The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, to her classic Diamonds and Rust, this folk legend has held our attention. Were excited! (June 28). Weve often sighed, If only Lyle Lovett would bring his Large Band to the Britt. Finally! July 17 will be an evening of country swingwith touches of jazz, blues, gospel and the most beautiful voice thats come out of Texas in generations. Lovetts voice, like his band, isnt bigits large! Thank you, Britt, for raising such a large tent this year! Paula and Terry each have long impressivesounding resumes implying that they are battle-scarred veterans of life within the Hollywood studios. Theyre now happily relaxed into Jacksonville.

Blue Door NOT Going Out of Business!

Business news can travel fast in a small town and at times can resemble a game of telephone, when at the end of the conversation the news is anything but the truth! Many of you have asked about Kay Faughts business, Blue Door Garden Store, supposedly going out of business. The real story is that Kay is doing her best to redirect this rumor and assure everyone that she is NOT going out of business! Her well-established business is currently for sale, but shes still at it selling garden goodies and has the store stocked full of products. Kay decided to sell the business when a great early retirement option presented itself to her husband, Kevin... a bittersweet decision for her. Kay says shes very excited about the new adventures awaiting her and Kevin and looks forward to finding a buyer for the business she loves. If you happen to know someone interested in buying a fantastic local garden products shop, give Kay a call at Blue Door Garden Store at 541-899-3242.

Herb Quady, Dawn Roelke and Brian Gruber at Barrel 42 Well-known vineyard manager and winemaker Herb Quady and his business partner Brian Gruber have ventured into the wine business in a big way. The two have started Barrel 42, a wine production facility. At this time, Barrel 42 has plans to make wine for at least four clients, utilizing more than 100 tons of locally-sourced wine grapes. The new crush pad/winery production/ storage facility is taking shape with new electrical, drainage, storage and production systems inside two vintage warehouses at the SOS Pear Station at Stewart Avenue/Highway 99 in Medford. The buildings, once the epicenter of the local pear industry are undergoing major upgrades to accommodate all aspects of the winemaking business from crushing to bottling. Quady, who also owns Quady North Tasting Room on California Street in Jacksonville, was the longtime winemaker and GM for Troon Vineyard until he and Gruber joined forces in March. Joining the team is Dawn Roelke, who will oversee daily management and business operations. Within the next months, Barrel 42 will be capable of handling & crushing 150 tons of grapes, equating to 9,000+ cases of wine. Look for more on this story in coming issues.

Childrens Heritage Fair!
hildrens Heritage Fair returns to Hanley for the fourth year this May 29-31! The Childrens Heritage Fair (CHF) is getting better each year under the direction of Emma Abbey, the Southern Oregon Historical Societys (SOHS) young education coordinator. This year will feature hands-on learning about livestock and gardening, in addition to old favorites such as butterchurning and candle-making. May 29-30, Thursday-Friday, will be reserved for fourth grade classes from all over Jackson County to tie in with the Oregon history curriculum taught during that grade. As many people recall, in years past, SOHS had an extensive CHF held in Jacksonville with class field trips going to the Courthouse (then museum), the Cemetery, and the Beekman House for children to explore various aspects of our areas past. Although the loss of public funding for SOHS has caused the CHF to be scaled back tremendously, the event is still an invaluable source of learning (and fun!) for young children about the uniqueness of Oregons history. The public day of the CHF is Saturday, May 31, and will run from 11:00am-

Pioneer Profiles: Table Rock City, 1852Mining Camp

by Carolyn Kingsnorth

In the mid-1800s, the promise of gold and free land lured fortune seekers and settlers to the newly-formed Oregon Territory. They were soon followed by merchants who amassed their own wealth, selling supplies to the miners and farmers. This on-going series shares the stories of these pioneers and their times. s late as 1851, the Rogue Valley was still very much the realm of Indians, writes Stephen Dow Beckham in Requiem for a People: The Rogue Indians and the Frontiersmen. Settlements were limited to a few hardy outposts. Judge L.L.C. Duncan, who established a farm on Bear Creek in the fall of 1851, noted the presence of two Rogue River ferry operators, Perkins and Evans, who were taking advantage of the growing number of mule packers hauling freight from points north to the gold fields in California. Asa Skinner, the Indian Agent, had a small log cabin at the base of Lower Table Rock. N.T. Dean had a place at Willow Springs, and there was a settler named Bills, who was later driven off for consorting with the Indians. A.G. Walling, in his History of Southern Oregon, reported some 27 residents in the area as of December 1851. However, when James Clugage publicized the Rich Gulch gold discovery that winter, that number rapidly changed. (See February Jacksonville Review, The Fathers of Jacksonville.) As word of the strike at Rich Gulch spread, an eruption of miners flocked to the Rogue Valley from throughout the northwest, searching the streambeds and gulches for gold. According to Walling, by "late February 1852 every foot of the gulch was staked out and claimed and by March the surrounding hills and gulches were, in spite of the evident hostility of the Indians, filled with the rapidly swelling population." Within a few months, over 3,000 miners were claiming and excavating every creek bed in the region, and the hillsides were dotted with the tents and camps of prospectors seeking gold! The merchants and purveyors of supplies and services arrived close on their heels. By February of 1852, Appler and Kenney had moved up from Yreka and opened a trading post, the areas first house of commerce. It was by no means a bazaar. Their stock consisted of a few tools, a little "tom iron"perforated sheet metal used to make rockers and long toms for miningrough clothing and boots, some "blackstrap" tobacco, and a liberal supply of whiskey, the solace of the miner in heat and cold, in prosperity or in adversity. Other traders followed, bringing supplies of every kind, pitching their tents on any available ground, and finding plenty of customers flush with treasure from their diggings. W.W. Fowler constructed the communitys first building near the head of Main, the only street in the embryo city. It was a canvas topped log house, probably

a store or saloon. Mining camps tended to last only as long as the promise of gold so its unlikely Fowler would have invested that kind of money in a place to live. By March, other principal places of business were the round tent of Miller & Wills opposite Fowlers log building, and one large square blue tent east of V. Schutz brewery. Kinney and Appler had apparently built a clapboard house on northeast corner of Oregon and California streets which Henry Kippel (see March Jacksonville Review, Pioneer, Soldier, Citizen) called the most pretentious house in town. Per his description, It was built of shakes; the studding, plates and rafters were improvised out of fir poles; there were no sills to the house; the posts or studding were stuck in the ground; window openings were covered with canvas; and doors were made out of fir poles covered with shakes. Klippel could safely say that not a sawed stick of timber of any description was used in the building.

However, timber was abundant, so lumber was soon "whipsawed" in the gulches at the rate of $250 per thousand board feet, or purchased in small quantities from an enterprising settler who brought a small sawmill in the valley. Clapboard houses, with real sawed doors and window frames, began to rise among the tents. By the end of summer, the town had assumed an air of solidity. A marked change also took place in the social structure. Gamblers, courtesans, and con men of every kind flocked to the new El Dorado. Saloons multiplied36 at one count. Klippel again describes the scene. Sunday, as now, was considered a day of rest! Miners would as a rule go to town and have a good time, see the sights, and "buck the tiger*." The chief place of amusement was Wills & Miller's round tent; here gambling was wide open and in full sway, monte being the principal game dealt. It was easily understood and patronized by seventy-five percent of the population; I presume, on the supposed theory, that to bust the game would keep down its evil influences. The Indians were frequent visitors to the town and they were fond of taking the chances. On one occasion war chief Sam Profiles - Cont'd. on Pg. 25

A Few Minutes with the Mayor

Tony's Dam Column #3: Closer to a Breach!

by Tony Hess

id you ever stop to think that growing old is big business in this country? What would happen to the drug or the medical industries if we all stayed young and healthy? No wheelchairs no walkers fewer doctors fewer nurses fewer hospitals. Just imagine the unemployment statistics! By growing old we are actually helping our countrys economy. Why its almost patriotic! I should think of it that way when waking up in the morning with my bodys aches and pains. Somehow that thought escapes me when looking at myself in the bathroom mirror. It never was a pretty sight but growing older doesnt help. Havent we always been a country that worships youth? If you subscribe to the message of Madison Avenue ad men, age is something that must be hidden. No measure is too extreme in this pursuit of youth. Romeo and Juliet may have been about sixteen, but buying this or that product will make you look just as young as them. Perhaps but just the thought of leaping balconies at my age and falling into the rosebushes while wooing the fair maiden well, now, that could quench romantic ardor. One problem with aging is how it sneaks up on you. There is a marvelous sequence in the Ginger Rogers film Bachelor Mother where Charles Coburn playing father to David Niven expresses his concern over his sons fast life and late hours. Standing-up at his desk so that we can see his full portly figure, he says, I

On Growing Older
was young once, like you. Lived like you! Looked like you! Then suddenly overnight I looked like this! The scene ends with him looking at himself in a mirror. It is said that love is blind. Robert Browning is certainly proof of that. He obviously never visited a chiropractor for any age-related shoulder problems, or he never would have written Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be. Nowhere in his vision is that early morning routine between an older couple where they share their breakfast along with fish oil, walnut oil, flax oil, borage oil, vitamins C, D, E & B, Complex, iron, glucosamine. There are so many of these you need a check list in the morning just to know what youve taken before you get up from the breakfast table and go lie down on the sofa for your morning nap. I realize that within each generation the young, to quote Oscar Wilde, think they know everything while the middleaged are suspicious of everything. But I wish theyd stop changing the rules all the time. One day I should eat eggs. Then the rule comes down, stop eating eggs eggs are bad for me. Then comes another ruleonce again, eat eggseggs are good for me. Is this a fair way to treat an older person? Dont they know You cant teach an old dog new tricks? I decided a long time ago to stop worrying about age and thats my advice to you. So, next time you look in the mirror and you think Gosh, I really am showing my age, remember Bob Hope who said, You know youre getting older when the candles cost more than the cake!

This is the third in a series of articles following the process to breach the Jacksonville dam and reservoir in order to comply with state and federal regulations. The articles will continue through the construction phase. he engineers and the city are in all-out mode to get through the complicated process that leads to the most important step in breaching the dam compiling the efforts of several engineers and other specialists into the Joint Fill and Removal Permit application. In early April, a first draft of the permit was compiled for review and commentary by all engineers and the city. Another major hurdle has been overcome as the state has ruled that wetlands on-site are not jurisdictional and no wetland delineation or mitigation plans are required. That is a big hurdle to have overcome! At the time this issue of the Review is published, the city and engineering team are on the 50-yard line, starting to move the sediments and tear down part of the dam. In the past few weeks, the Cultural Resources Report is being completed as part of the Joint Permit Application. The Archeology Survey Study will be partially done ahead of the construction time period, and then completed during construction when some of the original ground is uncovered for examination. A very important phase is also close to completion, the Preliminary Dam Breaching and Channel Reconstruction Design. Its elements are: An approach to de-water the site and do the clearing and grubbing phase of the work, and a de-watering plan for upstream and the pool. Input from Excavation Contractors as to approach and costs for removing the sediment, reconstruction of the channel, and most cost-effective way to move and stabilize the sediments. Input from the River Engineer and Geotechnical Engineer as to the best designs for slope stability,

It will be expensive to the city and its residents, but those involved are committed to a design and process that minimizes costs. The city has a work force and equipment that can do the tree-clearing and grubbing of the reservoir, assisted by Community Justice crews. This is a big savings over hiring a contractor to do the work. Rather than buying 900 feet of pipe for the creek bypass pipeline, a search is on for some used pipe to be rented for the duration of the project. To sum it up for this installment, great effort is being put forth by a group of dedicated people to bring the project to completion at a minimum cost, and in a professional and environmentally-friendly manner.

City of Jacksonville Proposed Water Rate Increase

The City of Jacksonville recently had a new 20-year Water Master Plan written, addressing planning and updating the water infrastructure throughout the city as required by the State of Oregon. Jacksonville purchases its water from the Medford Water Commission and the city owns and maintains a water distribution system that includes 4 storage reservoirs, 3 pump stations and over 29 miles of piping. The master plan includes a financial analysis and rate study of projected revenue the city will need to support operations and improvement plans as well as providing the requisite debt service coverage for the lending institutions. The city wants to be proactive with their water fund and make sure it can meet all necessary requirements. In general, it was found that the current rates do not provide adequate funding to maintain a healthy and consistent balance in the water fund. The water base rate charged to our customers has not increased in over 20 years. The city has a goal to set aside enough money to meet funding requirements for these capital improvement projects (CIP) and it is planned to increase the base rates charged by $10 to $15 this coming year. All projects in the CIP are important and none are considered as optional. Even with this increase, our water rates are well below the States average water billing rates. The highest priorities in the CIP, costing about $1.2 million, include upgrades in two pump stations including emergency power, and much-needed water line replacements in several neighborhoods. Future, less urgent projects, costing about $4.8 million, include a new 750,000 gallon reservoir and several areas where new water lines are needed. The city cannot undertake all projects simultaneously and not all projects are as critical as the next. With the State approved Water Master Plan, the city can address the needs of our water systems operation now and for the future and is taking steps to provide for those needs.

Planning Department Public Forum

The public is invited to one of two public forums with members of the Planning Department, members of the Citizens Advisory Committee, the Planning Commission and the Historic Commission to discuss upcoming code revision changes. We welcome your input on changes you would like to see. Are there applications that should be easier, simpler or quicker? Are there approvals that should be more difficult to obtain? Are there certain things in the code right now that are not allowed (such as sandwich boards) that should be allowed? Your input is important is this process. Please plan on attending one of the meetings at Old City Hall at 205 W. Main Street in Jacksonville on Monday, May 19th, 12:00pm-1:30pm or Wednesday, May 21, 6:00pm-7:30 pm.

On recommendation from the Transient Lodging Committee, Council approved allocation of $17,000 in bed tax grants to Britt Festivals Taste of Summer event ($6000), Chamber of Commerce/Travel Southern Oregon marketing program ($2550), Chamber of Commerce LED holiday lighting project ($5577) and Jacksonville Oregon Business Association 2014 Summer Promotional program ($2225). After being challenged by Councilor Jocie Wall on the matter, Council re-affirmed its intent to move City offices to the Historic Courthouse by a 6-1 vote. For the second time in as many meetings, the council overwhelmingly approved the concept, including moving ahead with schematic drawings for electrical, plumbing and seismic upgrades and/or improvements. The councilor has challenged the mayor and council many times on the matter, arguing that the city is moving ahead too quickly for her comfort level and that more study on the matter is needed. Mayor Becker led a spirited discussion on his expectations on Council Protocol and how councilors serving the city may or may not interact with the news media and on proper conduct when making public records requests and the proper use/abuse of staff time. City Council, April 15: After an hour of lively discussion on the topic of medical marijuana dispensaries, the Council unanimously approved the following motion on the matter. Approve the draft Ordinance 2014-002 as presented for ban of dispensaries including citation of most recent case discussed here. This includes the changing the title to read AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF JACKSONVILLE PROHIBITING THE ESTABLISHMENT AND OPERATION OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES IN CITY LIMITS AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY; removing sections F and G from Article 1; removing Article 2 in its entirety, and renumbering the document. With the full council seated and city attorney Kurt Knudsen present, the matter of what to do about medical marijuana dispensaries was the only item on the agenda. In their information package, the council had been presented with two draft ordinance options to choose from: impose a moratorium on dispensaries through May, 2015 or enact an outright ban with no time limit. Based on recent case law as well as on advice from the League of Oregon Cities and the City Attorney, Council ultimately voted for the ban option. Jacksonville joins all cities in Jackson County except for Ashland in either enacting a moratorium or ban. Under a statewide statute, all cities were required to make a decision on the matter by May 1. On a related matter, the council also weighed-in on a portion of the draft, namely section #2 that would regulate the growing of medical marijuana outdoors. Presently, state law gives medical marijuana card holders the right to grow a limited number of plants indoors and for certain caregivers to do so for patients. After much debate, Council decided to drop all language from the draft ordinance regulating outdoor grows, choosing instead to let Jacksonvilles Municipal Code govern the issue. It was noted that in almost all complaints against outdoor grows, odor and light pollution are the named nuisances. In May or June, the council will again take up the issue of where medical marijuana may or may not be grown. For now at least, the debate over permitting medical marijuana dispensaries in Jacksonville has been settled.

Together were making a difference.

ome visit your friendly neighborhood farmer! Jerry Johnson and Sheila Lee are Rogue Valley natives, having lived here all of their lives. Jerry has been a gardener since he was 10-years-old and says his grandfather provided the original inspiration to garden. Jerry has also worked in the mills most of his life. However, he always had a garden, enjoying the fruits of his labors and being able to give away extra produce to his neighbors. He currently works full-time at Tasty Flavors Farm; Sheila has a full-time job at Oregon State University and works on the farm at night and on weekends. In November, 2011, Jerry and Sheila moved to the North Ross Lane location. There was nothing in the backyard but dirt and tall weeds. The .60 acre lot had not been worked for over 30 years. Now, the farm has a new high tunnel which is 30 feet wide, 72 feet long and 18 feet tall, a small greenhouse and a propagation house. The high tunnel will allow the farm to grow vegetables yearround. The property also has many outdoor beds with vegetables, herbs and flowers. Beneficial insects, such as ladybugs and praying mantisand diatomaceous earth, and Neem oilkeep pests at bay. Quality manure from local alpacas enhances the rich soil used to grow vegetables, fruit and flowers. Jerry and Sheila grow collards, spinach, radishes, lettuce, mustard greens, cauliflower, broccoli, cheddar

Your Vote Can Change the World by Jack Duggan

On May 20th, Oregon citizens have a chance to change the world. Okay, that may be a bit of exaggeration, but we can never really know what one small act can mean to future generations. Since last May I have been involved in a campaign to save our local Extension service, the Southern Oregon Research and Extension Center, just outside Jacksonville on Hanley Road. Ive learned a lot that I did not know about Extension. Ive also learned a lot about our political process. Most disappointing was to learn that, in most primary elections in Jackson County only 37 percent of eligible voters actually submit a ballot. While Jacksonville voters do perform at a higher level, its still less than half. Given the history of our United States, it amazes me that so many people could ignore the very foundation of our country. As a Vietnam veteran who has voted in every election since I was 18 years old, this actually offends me. Even worse is hearing people say, I dont vote because it doesnt make a difference. Or, jokingly, it just encourages them. Yet these same people are not shy about saying how things should be done and what they think of our government. So, please, mark your ballot for the May 20th primary and make sure you turn it in. Of course I want you to vote Yes on Measure 15-121, the Jackson County 4-H, Master Gardener and Agricultural Service District. Losing the Extension would indeed change the world for Jackson County. But most important, please vote. Lets show Jackson County that Jacksonville citizens value their democracy. Thank you. Jack Duggan lives in the Applegate and is a Land Steward volunteer with the Extension. He can be reached at shanachie@hughes.net.

Love Your Landscape by Adam Haynes

Enjoying a Beautiful Summer Lawn
ost of us in Jacksonville love having a thick, lush and beautiful lawn! This is a great time of year for planning, preparing and implementing turf care. Here are a few spring tips that will make your grass healthy, green and lush. Most of us are familiar with natural fertilizers and the need to conserve water. This is a great time of year to check your irrigation system and consider changing-out sprinkler heads for more water efficient onesit can cut your water usage by as much as a third and provide superior coverage. The style and type of sprinkler head is probably the greatest factor in the amount of coverage and control you have in irrigating turf areas. The most common type of pop-up sprinkler is the spray head, which usually applies way too much water in a short amount of time. The turf and soil usually cant take in this much water and there is a lot of run off. If you have this style of pop-up in your yard, its best to give your turf a short watering time a few times a day, ranging from 4 to 8 minutes at a time. My best suggestion is to change to another style of head and get better coverage and use an average of 1/3 less water use. Hunter Industries makes an irrigation head for popup style sprinklers called MP rotators. I like these for several reasons: They use less water, have superior coverage, are user-friendly, adjust easily and use on average 1/3 less water than traditional spray heads. They cost a little more but are worth the investment. Water your grass early in the morning and if you change to twice a day during the hottest part of the summer, water late in the afternoon as your second watering time. Watering too late in the day is not as healthy for your turf. If you have a drip zone, its a good idea to open up the end of the drip run, turn on the valve and run the

Mon-Fri 10am-5:30pm Saturday 10am-2pm

zone for 10 to 15 seconds to clean out sediment that may have gotten into the line over the winter. This will help prevent clogged emitters and misters. If you dont have an automated in-ground sprinkler system, think about using a hose with an automated valve to water your yard and plants. Consider a valve system that hooks right on to your hose bib. DIG Irrigation Products makes great user-friendly valves that are available at most local hardware stores. These products save water and since they shut-off automatically, save you the worry of running all night!

If its been several years (or never) since you aerated your lawn, now is the time. The benefits of aeration are manyaerating frees up hard, compacted soil and gives it a chance to open up and take-in needed nutrients and water that otherwise cant reach the roots. This will also help the over-seeding process. In most situations aeration is beneficial once every 2 to 3 years. I hope these suggestions help you have a beautiful, healthy lawn all year round!

The Weed Wrangler by Bob Budesa

Keep a sharp eye out!
uncturevine is a taprooted annual, with small, 5-petaled yellow flowers, 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 earlyThis plant starts producing seeds almost immediately after germination! Recognizing it and killing it before seed production is crucial in gaining control. The midvein on the seedling leaves is a clear indicator that youre 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 timeAt seedling stage, this plant can be easily controlled by cutting 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 seedproduction 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 Ive seen plants as small as silver dollars producing seed! If the plants youre dealing with have produced seed, for Petes sake, dont drive there!If and when its safe,

get the propane burner out and scorch the area. Even if you dont kill the seeds, youll burn off the spines, thereby removing its method of transportation. Try this sitehttp://oregon.gov/ODA/PLANT/WEEDS/ index.shtml. Its important to utilize all the tools at our disposal. If youre a more tactile person, a book Ive found quite useful (great pictures) is Weeds of the West. The city and county have many priorities, so dont be mistaken into thinking that road frontage that abuts your property will be taken care of by someone else! Remember, your property will suffer 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. Questionsplease contacte me at 541-326-2549 or bob_budesa@yahoo.com.

Bob is still involved with noxious weed education and awareness, primarily through the Jackson Coordinated Weed Management Area he helped start several years ago.

My Neighbor's Garden
by Kay Faught
t began with a wind chime and bird feeder! Pam Wright moved here last August to her home on 8th Street to get away from stucco condo life in Orange County, California. Both she and her boyfriend Joe wanted to get away to a more relaxed life. Luckily, Joe had family ties here in townit only took three visits before theyd found a rental home and were all moved-in! The first time Pam saw the house she says the yard was in-bloom with wisteria, bulbs, lavender, lilacs, and jasmine and she fell in love. Pam initially hired a landscaper to get things in-shape, as she was overwhelmed with the amount of work. But step-by-step, she started doing things herself. She began borrowing tools from neighbors and buying one new tool at a time and budgeting to buy the next item on her list. Today, instead of shopping sprees to the mall, she shops for weed-wackers, lawn mowers and hand tools and loves it! We laughed about how our priorities change from purchasing a pair of new socks to a new tomato plant! When I asked Pam why she gardened, she said, Ive never gardened before, but it just feels like a natural draw. She loves staring at plants, and enjoys full color to fill her view! I think theres a connection to nature in us that is just undeniable! For me, its fun to see this novice gardener enjoying new discoveries. I loved her comment, I used to feel restless and bored, like I needed to go shopping or something, and now realize that is gone... gardening has filled a void. Pam's only frustration was finding out about her drip irrigation system around the house, with its 8 zones. A neighbor offered input one day while watching

Pam drag the water hose around. Within a short time, repairs had been made to the sprinkler system and now she loves hearing the water come on in the early morninganother new simple pleasure! Pam is having a fun frolic in her gardenthe patio is awash with bright colors. Re-purposing items from old pots and old wire plant stands, her pots became bright lime or yellow. A blue chair and bright solar lanterns add a stay on the patio touch! And, an old wire plant stand now laden with green moss makes the perfect bird bath for waiting birds. Pams gardening goal is to dissect everything around her. Shes learning to tend to old roses, overcrowded bulbs and fence vines. All give her challenges and problems to learn from. Shes already built a planting box for her first veggie garden this year and is busy filling pots and planters with other trials and even trying-out seeds. Pam already has a favorite time in the gardenmid-day when she can work hard in the sun and get some exercise and go barefoot in the grass! Recently, Pam started her own personal training business called, Fresh Air Fitness as a means of escaping the corporate world. (Catch her column Working-Out Outdoors in the Review!) The new venture allows time to relish her new garden and the people and pace of Jacksonville. Id say shes chosen wisely and think shes a great addition to our town. Good luck on your new discoveries with the gardenyoull love it! Kay is the owner of Blue Door Garden Store, located at 155 N 3rd, behind a big blue door. Specializing in garden gifts and dcor, she also carries a wide variety of tools, gloves, and organic product. See ad this page.

Home prices up, sales down and help is on the way!

Let's Talk Real Estate

Jville Review_May-June PRINT.pdf 1 4/15/2014 11:16:27 AM

he real estate market in Jackson County continues its recovery with the median price of a home growing by 4.2% for the first quarter 2014 to $187,500. The number of homes sold in the first quarter of 2014 has actually decreased to 345 compared to 389 sold in the first quarter 2013. Jacksonville, which extends all the way to Ruch, has fared much better with the median price of a home increasing in the first quarter 2014 by 16.5% to $282,500 The number of homes selling has been hampered by the low amount of homes on the market and the inability of some families to qualify for a mortgage. Currently there are less than 1100 homes for sale in Jackson County which is down from a high of over 2500 homes. There is help on the way. This spring/

summer should bring an increase in the number of homes on the market giving buyers more choices. Combine more choices for buyers with an increasing amount of families being able to qualify for a home mortgage through a new federal program and the numbers of homes sold should increase. The new federal program is called the Back to Work program which allows many families with damaged credit, foreclosures and even bankruptcy to apply for a loan as soon as 1 year after the damaging event. So expect another hot summer for home sales! Graham Farran is a broker with Expert Properties, located at 620 N. 5th Street in Jacksonville.

Spring Car Care Tips

by Nicole Caballero, Bob Thomas Automotive
Spring is a great time to catch-up on car maintenance. Over the last few months, slush, salt, and cold temperatures have taken a toll on everything from your car's tires to the wiper blades. Whether your vehicle needs services due to issues that started during the winter, or in preparation for the heat coming this summer, THIS is the time to make your car run at peak performance. First off, we encourage you to get your oil changed. Most vehicles need their fluids checked at least every 3000 miles. Oil changes are one of the most inexpensive services and make one of the biggest impacts on performance, longevity of your vehicle and fuel mileage. While youre at it, have us check your air filterafter this long winter, it could probably use a new one. Flushes are also another great service to add to your springtime car care routine. Cooling system flushes are a great way to keep your engine running cool when temperatures rise. In addition, hoses and drive belts should be checked for cracks, bulges or frayed edges from harsh winter weather and freezing temperatures. And who doesnt like to save money? A few simple springtime fixes can help you get better fuel mileage, saving you money at the pump. Make sure your tires are properly inflated, too. Cold weather can cause them to become underinflated. With the onset of warm weather, tires can overinflate, causing your gas mileage to be poor. And give your vehicle a good cleaning, inside and out. Not only will it make you feel better, but it can save money too! All the added weight of extra goodies in your car decreases fuel mileage and winter road sludge can lead to corrosion and rust if not taken care of quickly. Bob Thomas Automotive is here to help with all your vehicle service and repair needs. Were open Monday-Friday 8:00am-5:30pm. We are located at 535 Rossanley Drive in Medfordjust 5 minutes from Jacksonville! Give us a call today at 541-734-3743 to schedule your spring check-up before summer catches you and your vehicle off guard. See ad this page.

first met Old Jim back in the early nineties when commercial Jacksonville was struggling to survive. The only enterprise with consistent lines out the door throughout the year was Loaves and Fishes, the community food kitchen next door serving hundreds of seniors every week. Community kitchens are not unlike dining halls in freshman dorms or high-school lunch hours on the quad. Territory is quickly marked out and woe to anyone crossing the invisible lines. I had many occasions to lock horns with the old woman who ran the kitchen back in the day. The parking situation was every bit as bad as today, maybe worse. Eileen, a Jacksonville native and long since retired, patrolled the back lot like a junkyard dog and didnt hesitate to bite if someone under seventy dared park on her turf. I cant say for sure but I think Jim first noticed me during one of these turf wars. What impressed upon me first was how much Jim looked like my mothers father, Buck. Both had the same sturdy build undiminished by the years. He had tough, weathered paws still strong enough to crush the hand of a man not accustomed to hard physical work. Jim wore an old fedora pulled down just slightly to one side and his face was worn leather softened by an unmistakable presence of joy. I cant ever recall Jim without the disarming grin which won me over. During the early years there wasn't much time for anything or anyone not on my to-do list. Those days it seemed the proverbial wolf was always at the door and letting up even a little was inviting trouble. In retrospect, it was immaturity and lack of faith convincing

me of such foolishness. I never asked but Old Jim probably recognized in me something of himself, something he wished time would allow him to go back and change but could not. Old Jim was trying to tell me something. Whatever the reason, when Jim walked in the door, I always made time. Id always offer Jim a cup or baked-good but he always declined. Never more than a week or so would pass before Old Jim would come in looking for me. I really loved talking to Jim and the fact that something of weight and significance always laced through the small talk. No wasted words with Jim and he knew when to gracefully end the visit. He'd say he didn't want to get in the way of me paying the bills! Thats exactly something my grandfather would have said had he lived just a little longer to see his favorite grandson laboring to build a small town life from scratch. My time with Old Jim ended the day he didn't walk through the door. A woman came in to tell me Jim had passed and there was a memorial the following day at the Veterans Cemetery in Eagle Point. She said Jim always talked about me and maybe Id want to know. Full military honors were on display for the family man and decorated soldier who fought in WWII. I sat on a knoll under an old oak tree away from the throngs of family and friends while honoring Jim in silence for taking the time to be my friend and teach me life was sorely wasted on the tyranny of the urgent.

Neighbors...
by Sandy J. Brown, AICP

Investing in real estate is one of the most important decisions youll make. Hiring a real estate broker EDUCATED in LAND USE ISSUES is one of the BEST decisions youll make.

Love Thy Neighbor is a saying from the Bible that says, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. And while I think most of us will never love our neighbors that much, in practice, it is important to treat our neighbors well and be on good terms with them. Just how important it is to be on good terms with your neighbors is a lesson I learned while working for a county Planning Department. I had been answering questions at the Zoning Counter, when a man who was having a dispute with his neighbor came up to me for advice. He lived in a rural subdivision in an area called Happy Valley. The subdivision had been developed before planning regulations were established, and while it worked on paper, some of the land was too steep to be developed. The man was involved in a property line dispute with his neighbor; both he and his neighbor had hired surveyors to determine their property lines but the surveys resulted in different boundaries. The man came in for advice and was noticeably upset. I knew there was nothing I could do to rectify the issue since it was a civil matter, but after talking with him for some time I tried to make the situation a little brighter. I guess its not so happy up there in Happy Valley, I quipped. I then advised him to contact an attorney. A few weeks later, I saw on the news that a man up in Happy Valley had gone missing. The police went to the neighbors house to see if he knew anything. They found the neighbor in his back yard

tending to a burn pile. On the top of the pile was a couch, and underneath an arm was sticking out. The arm belonged to the missing neighbor. The man I talked to at the Zoning Counter was arrested for killing his neighbor over the boundary dispute. Before calling the police the next time you see your neighbor tending to a burn pile, realize thankfully most neighbor disputes do not result in such tragic endings. However, because of my position in the Planning Department, I have witnessed too many bitter disputes over code compliance issues, sometimes for no apparent reason. When purchasing a property, many people do not think to ask about the neighbors as part of their due diligence. It is important to have your broker ask the owner what their relationship with the neighbors is like and if they have had any issues. It is also important to check with the planning department to see if any complaints have been made against the property. And once you purchase the property and move in, make an effort to get to know your neighbors. Because heaven knows, you dont want to worry every time they light up their burn pile! Sandy J.

Avoiding the Aches of Gardening

Treat the lovely lady in your life with a bouquet of fresh flowers from 5th Street Flowers ($30 value) and a 60 minute massage (Gift Certificate from The Elements ~ $65 value) for only $75!
fter working in the garden, we all hope to experience the joys of our labor; however most of us are instead treated with pain and an achy body. With a few modifications, your gardening can become a pleasant experience (so long as those weeds dont come back!) The first thing to realize is that gardening should be treated like a workout; you want to include a warm up, correct posture while working, and a post-work stretch. Think of it as an interval training class at the gymweed, plant, prune, mow and repeat. Prior to working, your goal should be to warm muscles up and prepare them for whats to come. Your warm up should include a few movement preparations such as squats, lunges and overhead reaches to get the blood flowing (see last months article Healthy Hiking for more information.) Or it could simply be walking around your property for 5-10 minutes while you inspect the areas you plan to tackle that day. While performing yard work, remember proper body mechanics will help prevent injury or early fatigue. Here are a few tips from the experts at Home & Garden to keep in mind this spring: Remain as upright as you can when raking, hoeing and performing other gardening tasks. This keeps the strain off your back. Also be sure to buy tools with handles made for your height. Use your legs and tighten your abs

(as if you're bracing for a punch) when pulling weeds or performing other chores that require bending over, such as a squat. When lifting, use your legs. Squat down, keep your back straight and lift. Or if you need to drag a heavy item, keep your arms straight and use your legs to pull, rather than pulling with your arms. Stay well-hydrated. Drink even when youre not thirsty. When using a wheelbarrow, keep your back straight. Work your arms as cables; dont pull with your arms. When you finally finish working in the yard, be sure to stretch while you are still warm to elongate muscles and connective tissues. This will help prevent soreness and prepare you for the next weeding session. Just find a nice sturdy tree for support and stretch-out those hamstrings, hips, quads, calves, and shoulders while admiring your handiwork. Happy Gardening! See Elements ad this page.

Not in the least dismayed at the result, he continued betting until he lost all of his money; by this time the other [devotees] of the game ceased playing and were looking on. Sam took off his coat, vest and pants, bet them in the order named at an agreed price with the dealer and lost them all. He wore a plug hat; he took it off, looked at it, put it back on his head again and turned to leave the tent, whereupon the dealer called to him and gave him back his clothes. Klippel describes Chief Sam as a very large man, well proportioned, and whilst standing there in that crowded tent, minus clothes, excepting that plug hat, looked a veritable giant. Indifferent to his surroundings, he evinced no chagrin at the result; on the contrary, nature's garb seemed to make him more dignified. I have often thought since, what a rare model he would have made for an artist, and what a grand picture he would have afforded the average Kodak fiend. A Kodak moment indeed! *Editor's Note: Faro, a favored card game during the Gold Rush, was sometimes referred to as "Bucking the Tiger." This is thought to have come from early card backs that featured a drawing of a Bengal Tiger.

My Mothers Singer
grew up with my mothers 1930s Singer sewing machine. Its a classicblack with gold scrollwork, nestled in a solid walnut cabinet. I watched her pull out the arm hidden under the left side, flip the top open and secure it flat on the arm, then lift the machine out of its compartment. Thats all it took to get ready to sew. She made most of my dresses when I was young. I can I still enjoy looking at the fabric from some of them. My grandmother used the leftover pieces in a quilt that I now have, stitching memories together with needle and thread. One of my favorite swatches features lavender and turquoise umbrellas. The dress Mother made from that fabric had a round collar, puffed sleeves and a smocked bodice. It was mid-century Illinois couture, and I loved it. One Christmas Mother decided I was old enough to have a grown-up doll fourteen inches tall with auburn hair, a peachy porcelain complexion and blue eyes that opened and shut. The doll even had a wardrobe trunk fitted with coat hangers. On each one hung a dress made from the same fabric as my own frocks. When I realized Santa had left all of this for me, I was uncharacteristically speechless. Later that day as I was rearranging the dresses in the trunk, it occurred to me that Santa must be my mother, since he could not possibly have had the very same assortment of fabrics that she did. When I asked her about it, she admitted that she and Dad were Santa. I took that revelation in stride. After all, how could a real Santa come up with anything more amazing than a doll with a closetful of clothes? A decade later I was modeling for my father and younger brothers an Easter dress made from white cotton pique decorated with red strawberries. The boys couldnt care less, but Dad was more attentive. He admired it then said, Arent you grateful to have such a talented mother? I wasand still am. Over the years Mother made more formal gowns for me, including a cream peau de soie prom dress bedecked with handmade flowers. She also created my wedding gown and bridesmaids dresses, along with those of my college roommate.

When Dad oiled the machine beforehand to make sure it was shipshape, on Mothers orders he exhibited extreme caution so that no errant oil would damage the costly fabrics. None did, and the results were spotlessly glorious. Along the way Mother taught me to sew on her Singer. I learned all of the trickshow to fill a bobbin, calibrate the thread tension and sew in a straight line a perfect distance from the edge. It all came back to me when I was visiting her last fall, and she asked me to shorten a pair of pajama pants. Her eyesight was no longer good enough for her to sew on the Singer. Without a thought I opened the cabinet and set everything up as if I had done so the day before. In no time I was finished, and I found myself asking, If you cant use your sewing machine anymore, may I have it? I would be thrilled if you would take it, she replied. Mothers Singer is now in my spare bedroom. The cabinet has been refinished, and the machine still runs like a top. I am using it to add a new dimension to my collage greeting cards. But mostly I am happy to have this stalwart heirloom in my home, perched by a window in the morning sun.

Lets take it outside!
hat a treat it is to live in a climate where we can enjoy outdoor living so much of the year. To create and organize your outdoor spaces, here are some tips to maximize enjoyment: 1. Once an outdoor space is designated on a patio or lawn, clean, clean, clean! Patio areas should be power-washed and lawns should be mowed and weeded. Outdoor furniture should be brought out of its hibernation storage area and wiped-down, painted, stained, or oiled. 2. I believe successful outdoor living areas should have a conversation centera place to gather around. I prefer a fire pit but an ottoman or coffee table works well. 3. For the sake of comfort, shade is essential so I recommend trellises, pergolas, or market umbrellas to easily do the trick. 4. For added comfort, personality and appeal, add cushions, throw pillows, and lap blankets for chilly evenings.

5. Side tables offer convenience for placing beverages, food, and/or reading material (the Jacksonville Review of course!) 6. Candles, torches, low-voltage lighting, and/or string lights all create that special ambience that makes you want to linger a little while longer, too. 7. Thoughtfully-arranged planters, which center the space and bring in softness, offer a nice finishing touch. I hope you enjoy your outdoor living this season and the cheer it brings to take it outside! Christin Sherbourne of Efficiency by Design is a professional organizer.

Speaking of Antiquing with "Fiesta Lady,"

erchandisers began promoting color as the Depression came to an end. Americans were more than ready to trade in their darkcolored vehicles, clothing and kitchenware and everything took on vivid hues. In Southern California, a pottery company on Catalina Island was the first American pottery company to use glazes in bright, primary colors on simple dinnerware. Other companies began to see increased sales in their lines that also promoted solid color dinnerware. The success of these companies was recognized by The Homer Laughlin China Company in Newell, West Virginia, a small town on the bank of the Ohio River. It was there, in 1936, where Fiestware was born. The name was clearly based on the Mexican/ California influence, which was so popular at the time. A successful marketing campaign began. Housewives loved the ability to mix and match colors. For the first time, it was not necessary to purchase a set of packaged dinnerware. From the beginning, the Homer Laughlin China Company has had a policy of marking its products, which has always been good for collectors. Production began with 5 colorsa light green, yellow, cobalt blue, ivory and red. A sixth color, turquoise, was added shortly after. In 1944, due to comments made by Albert Einstein, red was eliminated, based on the fear that the uranium required to produce the red glaze was radioactive. It wasnt until the 1950s that the Atomic Energy Commission released restrictions of the sale of uranium oxide, allowing Homer Laughlin to resume production of Fiestas red glaze. As WWII progressed, production of domestic dinnerware took a backseat to war-related activities. Homer Laughlin began fulfilling contracts for the US Navy for dinnerware to be used in the Officers

A Short History of Fiestware

Mess. Fiestas production was affected, and items began to be eliminated from the production line. These early deletions are pieces that todays collectors clamor forthe covered onion soup, large flower vases, after-dinner coffee pot, and the nested mixing bowls. In the 1950s, a new Art Director took the helm and new colors were introduced. These colors, which include rose, gray, forest green and chartreuse, are now referred to as 50s colors. More items were eliminatedegg cups, coffee servers and the demitasse cups and saucers. The company also eliminated 3 of the original colorsgreen, ivory and turquoise. In early 1969, a new product came to marketFiesta Ironstone. Immediately, the older, brighter Fiesta became a collectors commodity. The Art Deco style was no longer in vogue. In 1973, all Fiesta production ceased. Collectors refer to this as the Dark Period. After a 13-year absence, in 1986, 50 years after glazing that first plate, Fiesta was reintroduced and once again became the rage. New colors and accessories were added to the product line. To the delight of collectors, the companys initial marketing strategy remains today. By introducing new colors and accessories while eliminating others, Fiesta is the most collected dinnerware in the country. Stop by Pickety Place and see the displays of truly vintage pieces, as well as contemporary (post 86) items that are now discontinued or retiredwhich are not available at the mall. Its reassuring to know that all contemporary Fiesta is lead-free, still made in the USA and is safe for the oven, microwave, freezer and dishwasher. See ad this page.

Troubled Waters
by David Funderburk
nother Spring is here and its a time of change and wonderment as the landscape emerges including wildlife. Everything around us seems to burst with renewed life, including some water supplies! For well water users, a change in weather can create a change in water and change is not always good. Well water may change with a rainy season, which can introduce materials into aquifers that had not previously been present. Even two wells on the same property can produce two entirely different types of water. In the spring and fall, we can count on receiving calls from customers about this very thing. Common unwanted changes to well water supplies include new colors, odors and tastes, which are produced by a variety of factors. Reddish brown iron stains are probably the most familiar. However, tannins the result of rotting vegetationcause staining very similar to iron. Shale, organics and manganese can result in black staining. These are just a few causes of color in waterif you find you have any of these in your water supply, dont despair; they can be treated.

Seasonal Changes Impact Well Water

Odor is another issue that can arise from the changing of seasons or weather. A concern we hear frequently is rotten egg smell resulting from sulfur, which may leave one wondering if an egg was missed in their Easter egg hunt! Anything that alters the color of water can also alter its taste. As an example, iron may produce a metallic taste, and if it wasnt in your water before, can come as quite a shock. We also receive calls from people with water softeners, which are designed to remove calcium and magnesium. These are the hardness minerals that create scale in pipes, appliances, sinks and tubs. Oftentimes, however, staining and odor require a different type of treatment. Color, taste and odor can become a permanent part of your water supply or they may be passing with the seasons. Rest-assured that with proper testing and treatment, your water can be brought back to normal in no time. Give us a call and well be happy to assess your situation and find the perfect solution for you. David Funderburk is the owner of Quality Water Systems located at 310 E.

SightSeeing by Julie D. Danielson, O.D.

re you sneezing? Are your eyes watery and red? Oregon has some of the highest grass and pollen counts in the nation during the spring and summer months. Throughout the U.S., 20 percent of adults and children suffer from allergies. It is the sixth leading cause of chronic disease in the United States. If you're an allergy sufferer, you might have conjunctivitis, which is inflammation of the thin, transparent layer that lines the inner eyelid and covers the white part of the eye. Luckily, itchy, watery eyes caused by tree, grass, and pollen allergies are not something that you just have to live with. You might try using a cold compress which can give you almost immediate relief from itching and can reduce the severity of symptoms for hours. Be sure to use a pliable compress, like one kept in the freezer. Wrap it in a thin towel and apply to your closed eyes for several minutes. If that is not giving you enough relief, be sure to see your eye doctor. Your optometric physician can sooth your conjunctivitis with prescription or over-the-counter eye drops. Drops range from homeopathies which build

'Tis The Season...For Allergy Eyes

your eye's immunity to allergens, to antihistamine drops, to decongestants. Just be aware that decongestants can constrict the blood vessels and whiten the eye, but may actually increase redness and irritation if used too often. If you wear contact lenses, airborne allergens can stick on your lenses making you uncomfortable. Allergens can also cause your eyes to over-produce natural substances which bind to your contact lenses. You can use lubricant eye drops to relieve your symptoms and keep your contact lenses clean. However, if you are using antiallergy eye drops, you should allow 15 minutes to pass before you insert your contact lenses. Another option is to use daily disposable contact lenses, and discard them nightly. When lenses are replaced each day, irritating deposits cannot build up over time. Treating your red, itching eyes is not a one-size-fits-all approach. There are many factors that go into getting the right treatment for your specific symptoms. When you visit your eye doctor, be sure to describe your symptoms so he or she can prescribe a topical medication that safely and effectively relieves your symptoms and lets you see clearly this summer. Julie Danielson, an optometric physician, is available by appointment at 541-899-2020. See ad this page.

A Providence Medford First: Giving a Stroke Patient a Second Chance

ryan Swope knew when he woke up on the morning of March 20th something wasnt right. He was weak, nauseated and had a headache. Bryan was having a stroke. I wound up getting up to get a drink of water and just completely collapsed. My whole left side had given out. Bryans roommate heard him collapse and called 911 immediately. When emergency workers arrived, Bryan told them he wanted to go to Providence Medford Medical Center. The care team had helped him in the past and he wanted to put his life in their hands once again. Because Bryan arrived within six hours of noticing his first symptoms and was generally healthy otherwise, doctors decided he was a candidate for a mechanical thrombectomy. We brought the patient to our lab and we took a small little catheter device up into his brain and we pulled out the clot, explained Eric Palmer, M.D., an interventional radiologist with Medford Radiological Group. We had almost immediate response that was positive. He was hemiparetic, or couldnt move his arm or leg on his left side, when he came in. After the procedure he could shake my hand, move his arm, move his leg. It was a very good outcome. Bryans surgery became the first successful mechanical thrombectomy for stroke performed in southern Oregon. Four days after his stroke and surgery, Bryan walked out of Providence Medford. Within a week, he was back to riding his bike and attending courses at Rogue Community College. I feel great, I really do, Bryan said less than two weeks after his procedure. Dr. Palmer feels equally blessed. Its very satisfying. The long training Ive been through to get to this point- it makes it all worthwhile. See Providence ad on page 3.

Stroke there's treatment if you act FAST. Call 911 at any sign of a stroke! Face look uneven? Ask the person to smile. One arm numb or drifting down? Ask the person to raise both arms. Is speech slurred or jumbled? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence. Call 911 NOW! If you notice any of these signs, dont wait. Call 911! The best approach: Learn to recognize all of the signs of stroke Act F.A.S.T. is easy to remember, but it leaves out some symptoms that could help you identify a stroke. Providence Stroke Center advocates learning all of the warning signs of stroke, as identified by the National Stroke Association. These signs include: Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination Sudden, severe headache with no known cause

ow much time do you spend feeling happy? Not just thinking about unlikely scenarios that could make you happy, like winning the lottery. The fact is that right now, in this moment, you can choose to live your best life and feel happy. Many people spend more time worrying and complaining than feeling happy and appreciating. You live longer once you realize that any time spent being unhappy is wasted ~Ruth E. Renkl. Emotions and thoughts are magnets. Where are you spending and investing your time and emotional energy? The more time you spend appreciating and feeling good, the happier and healthier you become. Feeling angry, frustrated and resisting what is, only attracts more problems and keep you stuck. Its like having a flat tire and staying in the car with your seat belt on, feeling frustrated and angry that you cant get to where you want to be. Youre spending all your energy wishing you didnt have a flat instead of thinking about what you can do to fix it and getting the help and support you need to get where you want to go. It all starts with you accepting the situation, taking responsibility to make the changes you need in your life. The only person responsible for your happy state of mind is YOU. Is there a situation in your life where you are stuck in the car? If so, the first step to help you ease the resistance is to deal with your mental stress and fear. Problems cannot be solved with the same mindset that created them. ~Albert Einstein. Think of a challenge in your life right now take 3 deep, belly breaths, clear your mind and say: I am now opening up to the opportunity this situation is offering me to grow. Take

Working Out-Doors
ave you been trying to lose weight, build muscle strength or improve your balance but find it difficult to start or stick with an exercise program? We all know that we should move our body every day, but it can be a challenge to get the recommended amount of exercise. The American College of Sports Medicine and the American Heart Association recommend that adults get 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise five days per week, plus two or three days of strength training and two days of stretching and balance training. That may sound like a lot, but you can sneak exercise into your life and make it seamless. With all that Jacksonville has to offerand now with warmer weather and spring in the airthere is no better time to get started. Here are some simple tips to help you meet these weekly exercise guidelines. Following them consistently will help you feel better and improve your overall health. Take three, 10-minute walks or bike rides in the morning, noon and evening for your 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise. Head for one of the many Woodland trails for a more exhilarating challenge. During your walks, try adding strength or resistance training activities such as push-ups on a bench around town, or carry an inexpensive resistance band and pause to do exercises like bicep curls or upper back rows. See photos for examples. Gardening provides worthwhile physical activity, so plan to tend to the yard several times per week. Take regular stretch breaks during and after any exercise bout and aim for one or two stretch breaks per day.

by Pam Wright, MS
Be sure to warm-up before stretching to avoid pulling a muscle. Join a sports team or a walking or exercise group. While watching TV, get up during every commercial to march in place or do abdominal exercises. While waiting in line at the grocery store, stand on one leg for balance training. Its easy to brush-off exercise because you dont have time or dont know where to start. However, if you begin to approach exercise by doing short bouts (10 minutes at a time) there is no reason why you cant get the recommended weekly exercise to help you stay fit and healthy!

On Sex and Success: An Ode to Mothers

learned early this morning that I am a success. A story on NPR related how certain wingless mosquitos in Antarctica survive under the most miserable of conditions, awaken out of semi-dormancy, live for ten days, mate, and die. In the animal world, the reporter noted, this is considered a successful life. You have reproduced. You have won. So, I have made it after all. My genes such as they are and God help my offspringwill go on. Success, it seems, is all a matter of perspective. This is comforting, in some baseline sort of way. I've always wanted to make my mark in the world, and certainly childrenat least well-loved, happy, compassionate childrenare a mark well made. But the reason this tidbit left such an impression upon me is because I struggle with the definition of success, at least the American definition: namely, money and fame. Of course, as this little NPR piece highlights, success is all in how you define it. Still, it may be a bit premature to break out the champagne. One of my Very Least Favorite Things is the arrival of my college alumni magazine in the mail. Every three months I receive the beautiful glossy thing in the box and immediately flip to the back to see who is CEO of what, or how fellow alum Steven Colbert is doing, or who just published her third best-seller. It's masochism at its full-blown best. I mope about and jab my finger at the page saying, "Look at her! Look what shes done! and mumble, "I coulda been a contender, I could've been somebody." Then I throw

the magazinewhich cost me $80,000 for the privilege of receiving itwith all its success stories into the recycling, breathe deeply, pour myself a glass of wine, and tell myself that I'm a late bloomer and that the highest sort of success is not easily measured; after all, I have two beautiful children (if I do say so myself). But inside, I still secretly think, I want to do something worth putting in this stupid magazine. Reproducing just doesn't quite say success for me the way it does for the Antarctic Mosquito. More's the pity. Deep down I really do believe that success means to love and be loved, to share yourself with the world, in whatever fashion, and to find happiness in simplicity. I'm working on all of the above. But I'm not so evolved that I can't admit that a bit of fortune or a smidge of notoriety wouldn't be nice. Being a good mother is immeasurably important, but it's not the end of the story, at least for me. There's more to life than sex and its after effects. But, thanks to NPR and those sad, cold mosquitos (have they not heard of Belize?), I do feel as though I have done something worth celebrating, a couple of lovely somethings actually, without whom all the rest of whatever else is waiting in the wings would matter little. Success is only sweet when you have someone to share it with you. Message received. And I'm not dead yet. I might still be a contender.

Trail Runners
by Becka Kem
pringtime in Southern Oregon is a special treat with the days getting longer, temperatures on the rise and more daylight to take advantage of outdoor venues. This is the time to head-up to the Forest Park trails to enjoy seasonal creeks and wildflowers that only make their debut for a few months a year. Jacksonville's Forest Park offers numerous trails that will make any determined trail runner or motivated hiker stop and "smell the flowers." The bright purple shooting stars, ruffled red fritillaria and elusive white trillium stand along sections of trail, much too beautiful to be overlooked. With the afternoon temperatures rising, the creekside trails also make nice escapes from the heat. The moisture of the creek with added shade from the trees lowers temperatures noticeably. The recently-finished Shade Creek Trail is a nice addition to the established Canyon Falls and Norling Creek Trails. This mile-long trail gradually meanders uphill, paralleling and crossing Norling Creek several times. Moss-covered rocks, ferns, and wildflowers line the trail. It was originally built to explore the boundaries of Forest Park. Now, with some trail

cutting and newly-constructed bridges, runners and hikers have access to even more beautiful sections of the park. From the top of Shade Creek Trail, visitors can head back down the trail, take the road or keep venturing. One option is Arrowhead Pass, an old logging road that has been revitalized. This -mile trail takes you to one of the most remote parts of Forest Park. Directly across the road from the Shade Creek trailhead is the new Leg Burner Trail. This -mile trail winds up the ridgeline. Although there are some steep grades, it rewards visitors with well-shaded, single-track trail that connects to the Jackson Ridge Trail and more loop options. Forest Park is ever-evolving with each visit offering new surprises. Exploring the park throughout the seasons will not only showcase the trails, but also the beautiful flowers and wildlife in Southern Oregon. Grab a friend; take a snack and pick-up a trail map at the Rail Trail Kiosk at the entrance of the park. Trail maps are also available in town at the Jacksonville Review kiosk inside the Beekman Bank at the corner of California & 3rd Streets. In the park, there are four marked parking areas, each with kiosks and trail maps. Get out and explore Forest Park!

Sterling Mine Ditch Trail Improvements Continue!

by Joy Rogalla, Siskiyou Upland Trails Association
Spring is a great time for a hike, ride, or run on the Sterling Mine Ditch Trail! The wildflowers and trees are in bloom, and the warm days entice us all to spend more time outdoors. If you come out to the SMDT, youll see that the Siskiyou Upland Trails Association (SUTA), the non-profit group that maintains the trail in coordination with the BLM, has been very busy over the past few months. Weve installed kiosks at 6 trailheads, funded by a grant from REI. Volunteers and professional trail crews have been busy doing maintenance along most of the 30 miles of the SMDT and access trails, trimming brush, repairing damaged tread, and fine-tuning the new Grub Gulch and Armstrong Gulch access trails. Our last work party for this season will be on May 17; we will be fine-tuning the Little Applegate section of the SMDT for the 3rd-Annual Run the Ditch 5-mile and 10-mile runs on May 24. The run is sponsored by Southern Oregon Runners (www.sorunners.org) and SUTA. Last year the Run was a huge success. Well also be having a sign-up day to install new signs along the trail and nearby roads. Finally, SUTA and the BLM will be sponsoring a History Hike on National Trails Day, June 7th, 10:00am2:00pm. A BLM culturalresources specialist will lead a 5 mile hike from Tunnel Ridge to Bear Gulch trailheads. She will talk about the history of the ditch and point out many of the historic features along the trail. Check the SUTA website, sutaoregon. org or our Facebook page for details.

Paws for Thought by Dr. Tami Rogers

pring is officially here in the Rogue Valley, and I love it! Spring to me is synonymous with freedom to be outside taking walks, playing in the sandbox with my daughter, having a good barbecue, or just sitting on the deck enjoying a beautiful evening. Regardless, I love it allall but the stinking mosquitoes! I have extreme reactions to mosquito bites and the suckers will bite me regardless of protective sprays and clothing. I am at war with mosquitoes and needless to say, I would NEVER consider moving to the mid-west. Luckily, we dont have quite as severe a problem as some areas of the United States, but the presence of mosquitoes in this area should definitely not be taken lightly. Mosquitoes are the vector for life-threatening heartworm disease in dogs and cats. Recently, our area (including Jackson and Josephine counties) has been upgraded in consideration regarding the status of Heartworm Disease. Our area is now considered endemic for the disease, meaning that it is regularly found in animalsdogs especially since they are most commonly tested. Statistics for 2014 currently show that 1 out of 57 dogs tested positive for heartworm; alarming considering the consequences of infection. As the definitive host (the host that the parasite really is meant to thrive in,) dogs are especially at risk. All it takes is one bite from an infected mosquito for a dog (or a cat) to contract heartworms. And, contrary to popular belief, just because your animal rarely goes outside, does not mean that they are safe. Mosquitoes are rarely known to respect the boundaries of your home and will enter

Miserable Mosquitoes
without invitation. Mosquitoes can carry and transmit a microscopic form of the parasite called a microfilaria. Once deposited into the bloodstream, these microscopic parasites reproduce, grow, and develop into adult worms that then take residence in the heart or the lungs. Each worm is about the size of a thick spaghetti noodle so it does not take long before irreversible damage is done to the chambers of the heart. Signs of infection in dogs include a chronic cough (which is the most common symptom and a sign of advanced illness,) lack of energy, difficulty breathing, loss of appetite or weight loss. Signs of infection in cats include: cough, difficulty breathing, vomiting, sluggishness or weight loss. Some cats never exhibit clinical signs, but even a small number of worms can be life-threatening. If detected early enough, most dogs can be treated successfully. However, treating for heartworms is much more costly and dangerous to the animal than simply preventing it. An interesting bit of information I recently came across from the Heartworm Society said that you can provide preventative for your dog for 11 years for the same amount it would cost to treat one case of heartworm disease! In August, 2011, Merial, the only manufacturer of the approved medication to treat heartworm disease, reported manufacturing issues which has caused them to stop producing it. The shortage of this treatment drug is another good reason to make sure your dog is on a heartworm preventative year-round. For cats, heartworm preventative medications are the only option, as there is no approved treatment for feline heartworm disease. Paws for Thought - Cont'd. on Pg. 36

What the Heck is Homeopathy?

hile most of my clients are familiar with acupuncture, herbal and chiropractic medicine, many have never heard of homeopathyor at least have limited understanding of what it is. Sometimes theres confusion between homeopathy and holistic, which is understandable, because many people have only a vague idea of what these terms really mean. While the term "holistic" refers to an entire medical philosophy, homeopathy is actually just one of many modalities a holistic or naturopathic medical practitioner might use. Homeopathy is a medical treatment system that was developed in Germany in the late 1700s by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. The common medical treatments of the time were quite crude by our modern standards, and included bloodletting and administration of mercury and other extremely toxic substances. Dr. Hahnemann became so disillusioned with medicine that he quit his practice and began translating medical texts for a living. In one of these texts, he encountered the claim that malaria was remedied by cinchona (quinine), a substance made from the bark of a Peruvian tree. Wondering what it was about this bark that made it effective, he experimented by ingesting progressively higher doses of the substance himself. To his amazement, he found that by taking enough of the cinchona solution, he created symptoms in himself that were very similar to that of a malaria patient, though not as severe. Further experimentation led to him to conclude, That which can produce a set of symptoms in a healthy individual, can treat a sick individual who is manifesting a similar set of symptoms. This like cures like principle became the basis for homeopathy (homeo = same; + pathy = suffering). Because he wanted to use medicine in the gentlest and safest way possible, Hahnemann experimented with smaller and smaller dilutions of what were often potentially toxic substances. He found that even extremely diluted medicines benefited patients, as long as the Law of Similars as he called it, was followed. A good example of this would be the homeopathic remedy

made from the stinger of a bee, known as Apis. As long as the patients clinical symptoms are similar to that of a bee stingred, hot, swollen, painful, better with cold applicationsno matter what the cause of the problem, Apis will help improve the condition. Hahnemann went on to test or prove hundreds of substances to discover their utility in various medical conditions. Because of the effectiveness and safety of his new system, and despite significant opposition from the conventional medical community, homeopathy thrived. By 1900, there were over a hundred homeopathic hospitals in the U.S. It attracted many highly respected members of society from Mark Twain to John D. Rockefeller. Britain's Royal Family has famously embraced homeopathy since the 1830s. As conventional medicine improved dramatically in the 1900s, homeopathy fell out of favor. By 1950, all of the 22 schools for homeopathy had closed, and fewer than 100 practicing homeopaths remained. There was, however, a rebound in the 1970s along with interest in other holistic medical modalities such as acupuncture and herbal medicine. Today homeopathy has grown in popularity all over the world because its safe, inexpensive and has shown exceptional healing ability. The use of homeopathy in veterinary medicine can be attributed mainly to Dr. Richard Pitcairn, a veterinarian in Eugene, Oregon who also became disillusioned by the limitations of conventional veterinary medicine. He began using homeopathy exclusively in his veterinary practice in the 1980s, and went on to teach homeopathy to hundreds of veterinarians, eventually founding the Academy of Veterinary Homeopathy in 2005. This is who I learned homeopathy from, and I feel very fortunate to have had the brilliant Dr. Pitcairn as one of my teachers. There are now hundreds of homeopathic remedies made from just about any natural substance you could imagine, from arsenic and strychnine to sea water and dogs milk. While this may sound strange and potentially dangerous to many people, homeopathic Homeopathy - Cont'd. on Pg. 36

Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center Is Named One of the Nation's 100 Top Hospitals

Legally Speaking

by Dominic Campanella

sante Rogue Regional Medical Center was recently named as one of the nations 100 Top Hospitals by Truven Health Analytics, a leading provider of information and solutions to improve the quality of healthcare. Asante Rogue Regional is the only hospital in Oregon and Washington to earn this distinction. As the CEO of the hospital, I am especially proud because this award is not something hospitals apply for or that requires a fee. Truven is an objective organization that analyzes all available data and rates hospitals accordingly, and we are honored that Truven has placed us among the top hospitals in the country. By their measures, we are providing you and your community with some of the best care in the nation. This is a testament to the dedication of our employees and medical staff who care for our patients each and every day. Truven says its research shows that if all hospitals in the U.S. performed at the level of 100 Top Hospitals: Nearly 165,000 additional lives could be saved Nearly 90,000 additional patients could be complication-free More than $5.4 billion could be saved, and The average patient stay would decrease by half a day. Why is this important? As the delivery of healthcare changes, people are making more informed decisions about where they go for their care. Independent measuring of performance by organizations like Truven makes comparisons meaningful, and this award shows why Asante Rogue Regional is the healthcare provider of choice in the region, and why people can get their care locally and be confident. Asante Rogue Regional has earned many quality achievements over the years. Here are just some from 201314: The iVantage 2013 HealthStrong Top 100 Hospital award; the Platinum Performance Achievement Award in Coronary Artery Disease from

by Scott Kelly, CEO, Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center

the American College of Cardiology ACTION Registry; the Healthgrades Clinical Excellence award (only hospital in Oregon); Best in Oregon for Overall Orthopedic Services and 100 Best Hospitals in the nation for Orthopedic Surgery and Joint Replacement from Healthgrades; a Silver Beacon Award for intensive care and a Gold Beacon Award for cardiac critical care (one of three in Oregon); and it is the only DNVcertified primary stroke center in the region. Asante was also recognized as a 15-Top Health System by Truven in 2013, and Asante Three Rivers Medical Center in Grants Pass has also earned many Healthgrades and other recognitions. Awards like these do not just happen. They are the results of a hospitals commitment to high achievement and many years of hard work and dedication by the physicians, providers, nurses, and all clinical and support staff who work there. At Asante, Welcome to better health, is more than something we say, it is something we do. For the 100 Top Hospitals study, Truven Health researchers analyzed public informationMedicare cost reports, Medicare Provider Analysis and Review (MedPAR) data, and core measures and patient satisfaction datafrom the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Hospital Compare website.

ow that the spring weather has finally arrived, we can expect that more of us will venture out to enjoy our towns fine restaurants, taverns, and tasting rooms. Most people will drink in moderation and will avoid driving while under the influence of alcohol; however, each year an alarming number of intoxicated drivers kill and injure other drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians. According to ODOT, from 1999 to 2008, an average of 710 people per year were convicted of driving under the influence of intoxicants in Jackson County, and crashes involving alcohol accounted for nearly half of all fatal and serious injury crashes in the state. The statistics are familiar and depressing. Most people know that driving while intoxicated can lead to jail time, criminal prosecution, and suspension of driving privileges, but many are unfamiliar with the role the civil justice system plays in DUI-related cases. Perhaps, more people would avoid and prevent drunk driving if they understood the serious consequences of a civil lawsuit. Unlike the criminal justice system, the civil justice system does not attempt to hold defendants accountable for their crimes against the state. Instead, the civil justice system holds defendants who are found liable directly accountable to victims and their families. This usually means the payment of monetary damages including medical expenses, psychological counseling, lost wages, earning ability, and property loss. Victims can also recover substantial damages for nonmonetary losses, such as pain and suffering. In addition, in cases involving drunk driving, Oregon law allows victims to pursue punitive damages, which are designed to punish the drunk driver, as well as to deter similar conduct by other drivers. Often, an intoxicated driver has very little chance of winning at trial; thus, the drivers car insurance company will try to settle the case if possible. If the driver seriously injured or killed someone, the victims claim might be worth more than the limits of the drivers insurance policy. For example, if the victims claim is worth $500,000, but the drivers insurance policy only provides $50,000 of coverage, the

Think Before You Drink

victims lawyer will search for assets owned by the driver to bridge the gap. If it appears that the driver owns a home or has other assets, the victims lawyer will insist that the driver pays money or conveys property to the victim as part of a settlement. If the driver will not contribute to a settlement, the victims lawyer might file a lawsuit and try the case to a jury. When the verdict exceeds the drivers insurance coverage, the drivers assets could be seized, their home could be foreclosed, or their wages could be garnished to pay the judgment. The emotional toll of a civil lawsuit should not be underestimated either. Many drivers who cause an accident feel terrible for their victims and can have trouble putting the matter behind them. Unfortunately, civil lawsuits often drag on for years and force drivers to relive their accidents numerous times during depositions and trials, which are open to the public. Of course, the social stigma and embarrassment can be very difficult to overcome. Finally, a few words about our towns hardworking bartenders and tasting room servers. Oregon law imposes a duty not to serve alcohol to a patron who is visibly intoxicated. If the intoxicated patron drives away and injures or kills someone, the tavern, restaurant, or winery can be held liable for damages. This is called a liquor liability claim, or a dram shop claim. Bartenders are licensed by the OLCC and are trained to spot signs of intoxication, so, if the bartender cuts you off, thank him or her and leave a nice tip. The good news is that drunk driving is completely preventable. According to M.A.D.D., the best way to prevent driving drunk is to make a plan for a sober designated driver and make sure everyone in your party agrees to it ahead of time. Together, we can keep our roads safe while enjoying Jacksonvilles great nightlife. Dominic Campanella lives in Jacksonville and is a partner with the law firm, Brophy Schmor LLP.

On Money and More: Lets Get Started!

by Erich & Matt Patten, Cutler Investment Group
Cutler Investment Group is excited to be launching a financial information column in the Jacksonville Review. Your hosts for this column will be our Portfolio Management team, led by Erich and Matthew Patten, Jacksonville Elementary Pioneers and avid readers of our local paper since our youth. We are proud to be Jacksonvilles hometown investment advisory firm and are pleased to contribute our two cents to the Reviews town dialogue. We would like this column to tackle a range of possible topics that you might find interesting, covering the global financial markets (like this months edition) all the way through to individual money matters like contributing to your IRA or understanding what role bonds can have in your portfolio. If you have interest in a particular topic or there is a something about investing that you have never fully understood, reach out to us at review@cutler.com and well give it a try! High Frequency Trading: What does it mean for investors? Since Michael Lewis recent appearance on 60 Minutes, the media has been abuzz with the negative impacts of High Frequency Trading (HFT) on the equity markets. Mr. Lewis has previously penned books such as Money Ball and The Big Short and recently authored a book highlighting the practice of High Frequency Trading. HFT involves very high powered computers moving in and out of trade orders at fractions of a second (actually milliseconds, or a fraction of the amount of time it takes to blink your eyes). The algorithms that these traders design create the impression of market liquidity, but once orders are placed, these algorithms, along with incredibly high speed internet, place orders at markets all over the East Coast in a practice known as front running. Front running creates the opportunity for these traders to get ahead of retail investors (you and me), extracting pennies by playing off of the bid/ask spread on a trade. Aggregating these pennies has allowed HFT traders to accumulate billions of dollars of trading gains. This is clearly a practice that regulators (the Securities and Exchange Commission) should eliminate. But in the meantime, what is the real impact for investors such as Cutler clients? We believe the impact has been minimal for a couple of reasons: HFT only hurts retail investors when they trade. Strategies that implement less portfolio turnover, have less exposure to the HFT tax. At Cutler, we are patient investors and look to the long-term value of a security when making a purchase. The new computer-driven HFT is day trading on steroids. Low stock-turnover strategies (such as those Cutler utilizes) lead to lower trading costsboth explicit (such as commissions) and implicit such as bid/ask spreads (the spread between the current offer to buy and the offer to sell). More subjectively, you can take solace that trading costs have dropped significantly in recent years, but that does not mean HFT has not had a negative impact on trade executions. We think it is worth mentioning, however, that trading equities, even accounting for the likely costs of HFT, has never been cheaper. Trading has become predominantly electronic, eliminating the need for a floor broker on the exchanges. Costs for execution have been greatly streamlined and more access has been given to the individual investor trading on their own behalf. While the markets today are more liquid and accessible than ever before, there is always room for improvement. We believe that this practice has reached an inflection point, and that regulators will work to reduce the ability of HFT to operate in a similar fashion. Our hope is that any unintended consequences of these possible new regulations wont negatively impact liquidity or the explicit costs of trading.

Homeopathy - Cont'd. from Pg. 33 remedies are prepared in a way that extracts the energetic essencebut none of the moleculesof the original substance. The basic theory is that when a homeopathic remedy resonates energetically with the disordered state of imbalance or "dis-ease" in a body, it cancels it out. In this way, well-chosen homeopathic medicine stimulates the bodys innate healing capacity on an energetic level. So whereas a pharmaceutical drug can effectively treat symptoms of a disease, homeopathy essentially treats the disease itself. Whereas drugs can have undesirable side effects, homeopathics, by their very nature, do not. They are energetic medicines, not chemical, and do not have any potential toxicity. I know this sounds a bit far-fetched, and it certainly flies in the face of conventional medicine and pharmacology. A skeptic by nature, I never would have believed in the validity of homeopathy if I hadn't witnessed dramatic healing responses in some of my patientsand myself. I find that homeopathy helps me treat and sometimes cure conditions in my patients that I could never do with conventional medicines. So heres a big thank you! to Doctors Hahnemann and Pitcairn. Dr. Judkins is the owner of Animalkind Holistic Veterinary Clinic in Jacksonville. See ad page 33.

Letter to the Editor

To all my friends: Years ago, Lee said he wanted his epitaph to read, "He Made His Mark," and he added, "I hope I'll make a mark somewhere, some day." From the outpouring of love, comfort and support I have received the last few weeks, I know he certainly made his mark in Jacksonville. Thank you everyone for the cards, phone calls, memories, funny stories, etc! Thank you Jacksonville, the Boosters Club, Britt, Rogue Valley A's, Pastor Richard Evans and the Presbyterian Church and the Jacksonville Review for the Tribute Page. My love and deepest gratitude to all of you for everything. ~Marilyn Lewis Paws for Thought - Cont'd. from Pg. 32 For dogs, most of us are familiar with a pill/treat that is given once a month. There is also a newer product on the market that provides six months of protection in one injection. For cats, we have topically-applied products or a monthly treat. Your veterinarian can make recommendations on a preventative that is appropriate for your pet. Regardless of the form used, we strongly recommend that all animals living in the Rogue Valley be on heartworm preventatives twelve months of the year. Dr. Rogers can be reached at the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital at 541-899-1081 or jvhospital@qwestoffice.net. See ad page 32.
