My View by Whitman Parker, Publisher

Celebrate Summer Volunteers!
ts now summer in the city as the pace of our

small town life picks-up and town bustles with
events and activities galore! From the Taste of
Summer Celebration, incredible Britt concerts on the Hill,
the Historic Home and Garden Tour, to our charming
Farmers Market and so much more, this is high season
and our time in the sun. If you are visiting, welcome
to one of the best places on the planet! I hope youre
spending several days here, soaking-up life in our
interesting and eclectic melting pot of a town.
Whether youre taking a break from shopping and
resting on a bench, hiking a woodland trail, touring the
Britt Gardens or Beekman Arboretum, attending a Britt
show, viewing an art exhibit at Art Presence Center,
attending a History Saturday event or something else,
please know that a volunteer most likely had a hand
in what youre enjoying. For those of you considering
moving here, know that Jacksonville runs on volunteer
energythe V in Jacksonville stands for volunteer!
My job as publisher entails a great deal of hands-on
work with citizens, business owners and visitors alike.
Hardly a day passes without someone asking me how so
much happens in such a small town?
My answer is always the same and goes like this:
That bench was built and maintained by volunteers
the Woodland and Forest Park trails you hiked are
built, groomed and maintained by volunteersBritt
shows are possible due to a slew of volunteersour
parks and gardens are attended-to by volunteers the
event docents are all volunteersmembers of our civic
committees, commissions, city council and our mayor

theyre all volunteers and the ones who make town tick!
I hope you have a great summer. And, whether
youre visiting or fortunate to call Jacksonville home,
please join me in saying THANK YOU to the army of
VOLUNTEERS in our Small Town with Big Atmosphere!

Britt Staff Picks Rockand Roll

This summers Britt season offers a diversity of live performances that
create a sense of discovery and community. With that sense of discovery
in-mind, theres a wide range of concerts offering you a chance to discover
a new favorite band. Heres a list of some of our staff picks with some of
our favorite acts playing the Hill this summer:
Fitz and the Tantrums June 22
One of the most imaginative and energetic
bands on the current music scene, Fitz & The
Tantrums is a modern pop combo unlike any
other. The band combines catchy songs, soul
music influences, a charged back-and-forth
between co-lead vocalists Fitz and Noelle
Scaggs, and a great band taking it right to the
edge. Youll be dancing the night away at this
high-energy show.
Leftover Salmon June 27
If youre a fan of bluegrass, jam bands, or just incredible
musicianship in general, Leftover Salmon is an act for you.
First formed in Boulder, Colorado in 1989, Leftover Salmon
was one of the first bluegrass bands to add drums and tour
rock n roll bars, helping Salmon become a pillar of the jam
band scene. For this concert, they are joined by Bill Payne,
one of the co-founders of the
famed rock/jam band Little Feat.
Tori Amos July 19
One of the most successful
and influential artists of her
generation, Tori Amos has been
a bold voice in music since
the beginning of her solo career in the early 1990s. Her
music has been described as baroque pop, pop/rock, or
piano rock, but however you classify it, it is uniquely her
own. Amos has long been known for her adventurous
musicality, her personal, sometimes controversial subject matter, and her ability to
inspire a generation.
Trombone Shorty / Galactic August 19
Two exciting and influential acts from New
Orleans will take the Britt stage on August 19.
Leading the night is Trombone Shorty, a trumpet
and trombone player who grew up in New
Orleans Treme neighborhood. Hes now the
frontman for the funk/rock/jazz/hip-hop band
Orleans Avenue, and their confident, bold sound
brings the spirit of their city with them.
Also on the bill that night is New Orleans
own Galactic, a funk and jazz jam band that
formed 18 years ago in New Orleans when they cut their teeth playing the biggest
party in America: Mardi Gras. Their latest album Carnivale Electricos evokes the
electric atmosphere of a whole city vibrating together.
The Head and the Heart September 2
It wasn't that long ago that the members
of Seattle's The Head and the Heart were
busking on street corners, strumming their
acoustic guitars, stomping their feet and
singing in harmony. That unbridled energy
informed their earliest original material, and
has made them one of the darlings of indie
music today. This is a band that weve been
pursuing for a couple of years, and were
proud to welcome them this summer.
There are many more acts on the Britt lineup this summer, and with a wide range
of music, theres sure to be something to delight you. Visit brittfest.org to see video
clips, links to artist web sites, buy tickets and more, or call 541-773-6077.

Within a mile of Oregons most beautifully preserved
gold-rush-era town, five exquisite wineries offer an
astounding array of fine wines, from Rhones and
Bordeauxs to some of Oregons most sensational Pinot
Noirs...all this just twenty minutes from Ashland and
Medford.
From in-town tasting rooms that offer music, food and
enchanted gardens, to rural wineries featuring expansive
views of the valley from outdoor patios, Jacksonville has
become the destination for wine enthusiasts.

Then theres Fitz & the Tantrums. The

group plays straight-ahead rock n roll
with a welcoming 1980s groove, even
though they formed several decades later,
in 2011. These six accomplished musicians
performed to rave reviews one week
after theyd met one
another, and they
quickly became the
toast of Los Angeles.
Less than a year later,
they were touring
with Maroon 5 and
working with such
musicians as Daryl
Hall of Hall and
Oats. TV producers
picked their song
MoneyGrabber
for use on numerous
shows, including
Criminal Minds.
Another number,
News 4 U found its
way into a promo for
Desperate Housewives.
And The Walker
popped up on The
Vampire Diaries and in the feature Identity
Thief. Despite this visibility, the Los
Angeles Times notes, Fitz & the Tantrums
is the kind of band that communicates best
in concert. Theyll communicate with us
at the Britt on June 22.
Perhaps the most successful pairing of
music and television comes courtesy of
American Idol. Readers of this column may
recall that we follow the show, and former
Idol winner Scotty McCreery was a smash
at the Britt just last year. So we applauded
the late announcement that the American
Idol Tour, consisting of this seasons Top
10 finalists, will hit Britt Hill on August
20. Were especially look forward to seeing
two of these singers. Twenty-three-year old
Caleb Johnson hails from North Carolina,
but his heart lives deep in the throes of
rock n roll. And Michigans seventeenyear-old Jena Irene sings like Barbra
Streisand, plays piano like Liberace and
tears at your heartstrings like a performer
twice her age. These two talents alone are
reason to grab a spot on the Britt grounds.
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.
3rd
St.
aybe youve noticed. Youll be

watching the final moments
of a television show. Just as
the characters arrive at the quintessential
pinnacle of dramatic closure, a pop song
that isnt part of the normal background
music springs forth.
The scene continues
without dialogue,
using the power of
song to enhance the
emotions playing out
on screen.
Television producers
use these songs as
Charity Rose Thielen
creative tools in order
to support the onscreen
content with a sort of
musical shorthand.
And thats good news
for the musicians who
create them.
In this era of digital
download, theres no
better promotional
plug than having
Caleb Johnson
a song played on
TV. Just ask The
Fray. This Denver-based band recorded
their first album in 2005. The title song,
How to Save a Life, accompanied a
particularly emotional moment during
an episode of Greys Anatomy. Then it
wafted through an episode of Scrubs.
And then Greys Anatomy featured it a
second time. Suddenly How to Save
a Life jumped into the Hot 100and
stayed there for 58 weeks. If youre a
stranger to The Frays sound, critics
tend to fit them into a musical category
that includes Coldplay and Maroon 5.
You can decide for yourself when they
visit Jacksonville for the Britt seasons
opening night, June 16.
The Head and the Heart, a rock group
from Seattle, has been heard on TV
shows since 2011. Rivers and Roads,
from their first album, was featured on
Chuck, How I Met Your Mother, and Sons of
Anarchy. Another song, Lost My Mind,
was heard on Hart of Dixie, and (bonus!)
became an earworm as the backing
track on the trailer for The Silver Linings
Playbook. The band will appear on the Britt
stage, September 2. We want to be there if
only to see and hear violinist Charity Rose
Thielen. (Hey, if you can rock on violin,
you can rock!)

Jacksonvilles newest wine

enabled me to give them a leg up by
mentioning them at an Art Presence board
meeting. Days later, Art Presence invited
them to present an educational wine
event in our new classroom for the Taste
of Summer. They accepted, resulting in a
double debut that makes Art Presence Art
Center, next to the old courthouse at 206
North Fifth Street, the perfect spot to kick
off Jacksonvilles June 7th celebration.
New Napa Wine will present
WineHerb Academy II at 11:00am,
where a local Master Gardener will
discuss pairing seasonal herbs with
this quarters wine club picks while
pinpointing herbal notes in the wine.

wine glasses will be available at the gallery;
after the Academy you can view our
June art exhibit, begin your wine tasting
experience with New Napa, then stroll
through downtown Jacksonville to explore
more wines. New Napas wine tasting
continues at Art Presence until 4:00pm.

Junes Our Taste of Summer exhibit
showcases photography and paintings of
sun-drenched scenery and mouthwatering

gathering spot to mingle with friends and make new
ones while listening to acoustic music and relaxing on
the Historic Courthouse lawn. Plus, youll enjoy freshlyprepared foods and coffee from on-site food vendors
including Wasanas Thai Food and Katrinas Tamales.
A significant portion of the vegetables for sale are grown
by Jacksonville residents Nick Mahood and Elizabeth
Worcester, who actively farm and ranch 22 acres at historic
Hanley Farm. As in years past, the couple is working
alongside Elizabeths parents, Chad and Lea Worcester,
who manage the day-to-day business operations.
Purchasing locally-grown foods benefits YOU, the
consumer, supports neighboring farmers, and in many
cases, offers lower prices. Additionally, knowing where
your food comes from has its own rewards!
This season, several new vendors have joined the
market while returning vendors include: Lara Knackstedt
offering her delectable Rogue Valley Olive Oils, Little
Heathen Honey, Jerry Childers sumptuous Coquette Bakery
goods, ByGeorge Farms mouth-watering produce, Peter
Salants Applegate Valley grass-fed beef, Ron Moore and
Jerry Hagstroms fine photography and so many more.
This season, THINK LOCAL and make it a point to
shop the Jacksonville Farmers Market and support your
local farmers!

Pioneer Profiles: PETER BRITT

Photographer, Visionary, Entrepreneur- Part 1
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.
ts Britt season, so what better

subject for summers Pioneer
Profiles than Peter Britt, whose
pioneer homestead is now the site of
Britt Festivals, the Britt Gardens, and
portions of Jacksonvilles
Woodlands Trail System.
Perhaps best known as
the pioneer photographer
who documented Southern
Oregons people, activities,
and landscapes from the
1850s to 1900, Peter Britt
was also a visionary,
a painter, a respected
horticulturalist, a vintner,
and an entrepreneur.
Family tradition claimed
that Britt was of English
ancestry and that his
forebears had migrated
to the Swiss Alps. He was
born in 1819 in Obstalden,
in the Swiss canton of
Glarus, where his family
had farmed land for centuries.
However, Britts talents led him to
pursue painting. Although his interest
lay in nature studies and landscapes,
his income came from portraits, and
he wandered Switzerland, Germany,
and possibly France as an itinerant
portrait painter. According to Alan Clark
Millers 1972 thesis, Peter Britt: Pioneer
Portrait Photographer of the Siskiyous,
paints and canvas were scarce so Britt
improvised by grinding minerals and
mixing them with oil and other pigments
to create paints and weaving flax grown
on the family farm into canvases.
In 1845, Britt immigrated to the United
States with his father Jacob, his brother
Kaspar, and Kaspars family, settling
in a community of Swiss migrs in
Highland, Illinois.
Although continuing
to work as a portrait
painter, Britt faced
increasing competition
from the new art of
daguerreotyping.
According to Miller,
Britt set about to
master this new
technology, even
traveling to St. Louis
to study with John
Fitzgibbon, who, by contemporary
newspaper accounts, was universally
known in the U.S. and in Europe as one of
the oldest and most successful operators
of the daguerrean and photographic arts.
In 1847, Britt apparently opened his own
daguerreotype studio and operated it for
the next five years.
Then, listening to the stories of
returning Forty-niners, Britt joined
the ranks of migrs stricken with gold
fever. In the spring of 1852, shortly
after he became a naturalized citizen,
Britt and three companions headed
west on the Oregon Trail, the beginning
of a five-month journey. At Grande
Ronde Valley, two of the men refused
to continue dealing with Britts 300
pounds of photographic equipment.
There they separated, and Britt and his
wagon master continued on to the village
that was to become the city of Portland.
Hearing news of the gold strike in Table
Rock City (now Jacksonville), Britt
decided to venture south and walked
from Portland to Jacksonville, arriving
November 8, 1852, with a two-wheeled
cart of photographic equipment, a yoke
of oxen, a mule, and five dollars in his
pocket. He camped on the site now
known as Britt Hill, possibly filing a
donation land claim, and built a small
log cabin on a hillside site that boasted a
magnificent view.
A 1920 article in the Jacksonville Post

recalls At that time mining excitement
was at its height. The hills and gulches
for miles around were staked, and men
were making good wages with rocker
and long tom. Mr.
Britt, with several
others equally
inexperienced in
mining, took a claim
on Ashland Creek.
They built sluice
boxes and for two
weeks worked hard.
In the evenings they
discussed what they
would do with their
money when they
made a cleanup.
They finally decided
upon going to South
America, where they
heard there were
good opportunities
to be found. When
the cleanup was made it netted them 75
cents each, and the South American trip
was indefinitely postponed.
That cured Britt of any mining
fever. He soon recognized that mule
skinning was a much more profitable
bet, and purchased a string of pack
mules. For several years, he and fellow
Swiss compatriots Kaspar Kubli and
Viet Shutz made the arduous ten-day
trek between Crescent City, California,
and Jacksonville, hauling foodstuff and
mining tools
With the grubstake he accumulated,
Britt bought a state-of-the-art camera
in San Francisco and returned to the
photographic trade, opening P. Britt's
Photograph and Daguerreotype Room
in 1856, where people came from all
parts of Southern
Oregon to have
their photographs
taken. The Britt
photography
studio now became
a full-fledged
enterprise, and
Britt became the
best-known and
most popular
photographer in
the southwestern
Oregon and northern California area.
Best known for his portraits, Britt
photographed almost all of the prominent
citizens as well as farmers, miners,
Chinese workers and Native Americans.
In the 1860s, Britt purchased a stereo
camera which allowed him to also
pursue landscape photography. In 1874,
Britt, accompanied by his son Emil,
was the first person to photograph
Crater Lake. The trip was arduous, the
weather uncertain, and his previous
attempts in 1868 and 1869 had failed.
There were no roads to the lake, and
photographic equipment, camping gear,
and provisionsamounting to several
hundred poundsall had to be packed
in. The resulting photographs were used
to substantiate the need for making Crater
Lake a national park. However, Britts
diary for that day only noted that Emil
has the sniffles.
Britt should not be considered merely
a photographer, however. He engaged in
numerous other business activities, nearly
all of which were profitable. These other
aspects of Peter Britt will be explored in
upcoming issues of the Review.
Britt died in October 1905. His
grave will be featured in the Friends
of Jacksonvilles Historic Cemetery
Art and Artists tour at 10:00am
on Saturday, June 14, as part of
Jacksonville History Saturday.

Summer Lawn Party!
he season at Hanley is fully

underway, and the new Summer
Lawn Party on Saturday, June
14th is a wonderful way for you to
come enjoy it! June 14th is Flag Day,
and Hanley is celebrating in-style with
a tribute to true American spirit and
creativity. From 11:00am to 4:00pm, there
will be a celebration of what it means to
be American, and Southern Oregonian,
with food, music, and many local artists
working and displaying their work.
The popular, local groupThe
Rogue Suspectswill play during the
afternoon, providing an upbeat and
fun atmosphere for the event. The Farm
Kitchen will serve-up locally-grown,
organic, all-American food for purchase,
and there will be house and garden
tours as well as a featured speaker on
local history. This will be a lovely day of

Hanley is also excited to begin a
new partnership this year with the Girl
Scouts of Oregon and Southwestern
Washington. From June 16-20, up to
250 Girl Scouts from the region will be
exploring Hanley Farm to learn about

traditional farming, homesteading and
old-time Girl Scout values. The Farm is
excited to introduce scouts to the value
of self-sufficiency and the importance of
local foods.
The Farm is also extremely pleased
about its ongoing partnership with the
Family Nurturing Center (FNC), and
that in June, sixteen families from the
FNC will begin receiving farm boxes of
local, organic produce. The FNC families
are low-income families working at the
farm to cultivate foods, who in return for
their labor, receive a box of fresh produce
each week. This program is unique to the
Rogue Valley, and offers disadvantaged
families access to healthy foods in a
way not provided anywhere else. The
Southern Oregon Historical Society and
Hanley Farm feels honored to partner
with the FNC on this worthy project.
Building community rooted in a sense of
place is essential to preserving history,
and Hanley Farm is proud people from all
backgrounds participate in this endeavor.

A Few Minutes with the Mayor
Tony's Dam Column #4: Making Progress
by Paul Becker
by Tony Hess
A Window Into the Past
e may
live in an
historic
town, but Ill wager
that when studying
history in school, you hated it. Was your
history class like mine, consisting of
nothing more than memorizing important
dates of people and bigger-than-life
events? King George may have been a
bad king at least from the American
colonists point of view, but what were we
taught about the man himself? Very little!
Personal facts about historic people
were seldom included in history courses.
Did George have a wife? He did her
name was Charlotte. Did he know her
well before marriage? No, they met on
their wedding day. Was the marriage
a good one? Yes judging by their
progeny15 in all. Did he have a mistress
as most rulers did? No he was faithful
and the first monarch in his lineage to
forego such royal privileges.
Now, wasnt learning that less boring?
Just imagine a lifetime romance from
an arranged marriage. Terry Erdmann
and Paula Block, the Reviews Unfettered
Critics could write a film script on that
alone. As for me, Ive always been able
to step-back and imagine myself in the
scene. Its fascinating to imagine how
people really acted or reacted with one
another, to understand what they felt,
what they believed, and how they lived in
their world long since gone. At least I think
so and the one reason I love old films, even
the bad ones. They are a window into our
past. The Frank Capra film, AMERICAN
MADNESS, visually portrays better than
any history book a run on a bank during
the depression. The depositors increasing
sense of panic literally jumps off the
screen. Even though the scene is fictional,
its genesis is drawn from real history.
And real history surrounds us
fortunate enough to live here, a city where
our window into the past is always open.
How I love a walk down California Street!

I never tire of observing buildings five
and six generations old. The Courthouse,
the center of our attention these days, was
built in 1883. Did you know a Christmas
Ball was held on the new second floor
to celebrate the accomplishment? One
wonders where they parked all the horse
and buggies for the occasion.
Im sure every building in the historic
core has such stories, however, just as
stories in books have an ending page, so
will our buildings see an end without
proper care. The fable of the three little
pigs is fine, as far as it goes. The third pig
was safe in his brick house. But travel
forward in time with the pigs children
living in the house their father built.
They feel safe but look, there are small
cracks in the mortar and bricks and due to
weathering, roof joists are weak, making
one wonder just how long until the
ending page. Back to reality, one in which
we are facing deteriorating buildings.
In recent history, two generous citizens
bequeathed their estates to the historic
preservation fund to help preserve our
precious heritage by creating a fund to be
used for preservation. From this fund, the
Historical Architecture Review Commission
is able to function. But it is not unlimited; its
ongoing purpose depends upon us. There
is no other way to say it: CONTRIBUTIONS
ARE ESSENTIAL IF WE ARE TO
PRESERVE OUR TOWN.
The historic preservation of this city is
necessary if we are to pass this heritage to
our descendants. There are many ways to
donate in cash or assets now or from
ones estate, either now or upon death.
There can be certain tax advantages
in whatever method is chosen. Donna
Bowen is the chairperson of HARC. Shed
love hearing from anyone blessed with
such generosity. Think of it this way, your
donation to HARC gives you a personal
footprint in the future and that puts you
on an even par with all the King Georges!
Announcing the 3rd Annual Mayors 4th of July Picnic!

Mayor Paul Becker and the City of
Jacksonville invite everyone to come
out and celebrate July 4th on the
Courthouse grounds from Noon until
3:00pm and enjoy complimentary hot
dogs, buns, chips and bottled water.
Picnickers may opt to bring their own
food and drinks if they so desire.
Once again, the Fire Department will
be organizing activities for children and adults. The Jacksonville Trolley will be
stationed on the grounds, offering picnickers free trolley rides around town. Come
celebrate the 4th and join the fun with your Jacksonville friends and neighbors!

This is the fourth 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

making good progress to
complete the engineering study
and design plans to breach the dam.
This part of the project is proceeding
on-schedule, with drafts of the Cultural
Resources Report and engineering
report now complete. Additionally, a
preliminary review by the Department
of State Lands (DSL) and the Corps of
Engineers (CORP) has been done by those
agencies. All of these elements go into
the final Joint Fill and Removal Permit
application, which will be submitted to all
relevant state and federal agencies after
being submitted to the city for review and
approval. This city review is expected
to be done around the end of May. The
final Joint Fill and Removal Application

is submitted and signed by the city as
their application, so close study will be
done by city staff and City Council. If
the schedule remains as planned, the
Permit application could be ready to be
submitted by the first part of June. Since
any work project done in an Oregon
waterway must be completed in the part
of the year when there is the lowest water
flow, the engineers and the city have
agreed that the ideal project start date
would be mid-July. Should the schedule
holds as planned, and the government
agencies move expeditiously, and no
flaws requiring rewrites of the Permit
application are found, its still possible for
the project to be done this year!
City Snapshot
City Council, May 6 & 20Mayor
Becker read a proclamation naming June
1-9 Jacksonville Garden Club Week in
honor of the clubs 75th Anniversary.
Planner Amy Stevenson informed
council that her department is holding
open houses, lectures, restoration
presentations, and historic building tours
to mark National Historic Preservation
Month. Stevenson also requested
consideration of establishing a new
Archeological Management Plan.
If approved, the program could cost
upwards of $30,000 but could ultimately
save the city money in the long-run
by establishing better protocols when
inadvertent archeological discoveries
are made. Council agreed to investigate
the programs further.
City Recorder Garcia presented a
hand-out explaining a proposal of policies
to charge fees for the use of city-owned
properties. The policy, if adopted, will
eventually impact groups using the
Courthouse Lawn and City parks for
events governed by an event packet and
subsequent permit.
At the May 6 meeting, Fire Chief Devin
Hull presented his 2013 Annual Report
and discussed staffing levels, apparatus
needs, emergency fire/medical response
times, insurance ratings, budgets and
predictions for coming years. The
presentation included facts about the
ever-changing political aspects of public
safety, including evidence that parttime, volunteer and intern firefighters
are no longer a viable option for most
municipalities, including Jacksonville.
Council learned that nationwide, parttime and volunteer firefighters must now
be treated as paid employees, triggering
a slew of Internal Revenue Service
and state PERS-related consequences.
Essentially, new federal/state changes
have made part-time and volunteer
fire fighters cost-ineffective. Council
voted to increase the Fire Protection Act
surcharge and hire one additional fulltime firefighter. Of note, the new hire
will actually save $11,000 in overtime
expenses and insure 24-7 staff coverage
for the next 5 years. At this time, the

surcharge is the only funding mechanism
for the full-time fire department. The
surcharge, currently at $26/month will be
increased $1 per year for fiscal year 201415 and then $2 more in FY 2015-16 and
2016-17 to a rate of $31/month.
Budget Committee Meeting, May 8
As expected, the fire service surcharge
and staffing levels received serious
attention and discussion. In order to setaside reserves for replacement of one fire
truck needed in the next 10-15 years (a
$500-$700k expense) and the immediate
need to hire an additional fire fighter,
the Committee agreed with the need to
increase the surcharge as detailed above.
City Employees RecognizedIn a
heartfelt presentation, Mayor Becker
thanked and honored retiring city
employees Lou McBride and Donna
McNurlen, both of whom lovingly
maintained City Hall and Old City Hall
for 35 years.
Water Rate Increase ApprovedAt
the 5/20 meeting, Council unanimously
approved a $12/month water base rate
increase per unit and an additional $1
per unit increase over the next three
years. This is the first rate increase in
20 years and is needed to update aging
water infrastructure throughout the city
as mandated by the state of Oregon,
including pump stations, emergency
power, water line replacement and a new
750,000 gallon reservoir.
Park Ranger Program Undecided
After lengthy discussion on 5/20, a decision

on the future of the Park Ranger Program
was continued until the 6/17 meeting. The
all-volunteer program finds itself in the
crosshairs of the citys new liability insurance
carrier which has been evaluating the risk/

group. Police Chief Towe voiced support
for the program but felt removing its law
enforcement capability was warranted
and that leaving law enforcement to
professionals was best. The notion of Park
Rangers acting more as docents than
cops appeared to have gained traction.

The Jacksonville Lions Club sponsored

the annual Jacksonville Elementary
spelling bee, which took place in March.
It is fun to watch these intelligent children
compete in the contest, capable of spelling
words that daunt many adults. The Lions
Club presented spelling bee awards at
the Spirit Award Program, at a school
assembly with students, parents and
guests on April 23.
This is also our annual Scholarship
Competition time. Senior high school
students compete for $1000 college
scholarships, awarded for academic
achievement and merit. The exceptional
caliber of students this year has prompted
us to award additional scholarships, to be
awarded later this month.
The Jacksonville Lions are citizens

of Jacksonville and surrounding
communities, who give their time and
talents performing services and raising
funds for local, national and international
sight, hearing and other worthwhile
projects.
The Jacksonville Lions Club is always
looking for civic-minded members who
want to enjoy fun and camaraderie, while
doing great things for the community.
The Jacksonville Lions meet twice each
month. Interested individuals please

Chair, at 541-499-0968, Mr. Bill Hanlan,

s the
summer
season
moves into full
swing, the Jacksonville Chamber of
Commerce is already working on fall and
winter initiatives. Promoting Jacksonville
as a year-round destination for residents
and visitors is a key objective for the
Chamber of Commerce. One way we
achieve this objective is through events
and promotions which keep people talking
about and returning to Jacksonville.
Fall Seasonal PromotionWith
the goal of increasing awareness of
Jacksonville as a fall destination, we are
developing a promotion highlighting
all of the attractions and events of the
fall season. The main focus of this plan
is not to create additional events which
drain resources, but to package ongoing
events and make a few twists on ongoing
activities to attract the attention of visitors.
In addition to our glorious fall color
later in the season, there is a full offering
of activitiesGerman Heritage Week/
Oktoberfest, Meet the Pioneers, Chamber
Art Auction, Medford Jazz Festival,
Haunted Trolley Tours, Fall Uncorked
and others leading up to Victorian
Christmas. We will be integrating a
drawing for gift certificates that will require
participants to visit participating local
businesses. Participation will run from the
end of September through Thanksgiving.
New activities we are developing for
this season-long campaign include the
German Heritage Week and Haunted

Halloween Trolley Tours. The first
initiative expands on the success
of Bigham Knolls Oktoberfest by
encouraging visitors to come downtown
earlier in the week. We will have a
German flair to the Trolley Tours, add
special touches to the fall decorations
and work with merchants to develop
special offerings. The Haunted Trolley
Tours allow us to take advantage of
an existing assetthe trolleyand to
increase interest in coming to Jacksonville
as well as to increase revenue by offering
specialty tours. The tours will run
the weekends around Halloween and
possibly some week nights.
Victorian ChristmasJune is also
when we begin planning for Victorian
Christmas. This June, we will also be
kicking-off a sponsorship and donation
campaign to help cover expenses. Due
to increasing costs, Victorian Christmas
expenses now total $14,000. In addition to
business sponsorship, we are encouraging
community support. Residents and friends
of Jacksonville can make donations directly
through the Chamber Office/Visitor
Information Center or by dropping checks
or cash into collection jars throughout
town. Victorian Christmas is a cherished
tradition so we hope you will show your
support for this local tradition.
Anyone interested in working on any
of these projects is encouraged to please
contact Chamber President Tim Balfour
at 541-601-3416.

Americans are on the move
to Oregon!
nited Van Lines recently

published its inbound and
outbound moving data for the
year of 2013. The winners are Oregon and
the Carolinas. The losers are New Jersey,
Illinois and New York.
The amount of Americans moving
slowed during the great recession but
is now picking-up again. A new Gallup
survey found that 24% of Americans
reported moving from their city or area
in the past five years, which means
Americans move more than all other
countries except New Zealand.
In Southern Oregon, we are seeing
mainly families moving for reasons such
as retirement or better quality of life in
a smaller town. We have affectionately

named them Escapees and Retirees.
Southern Oregon is a great place to raise
a family and/or retire and now that the
recession is over,* expect to see Southern
Oregon population rise as these two
groups flee neighboring states.
*A recession is defined as a period of
temporary economic decline measured by a
fall in GDP in two successive quarters and it
is considered ended after it has stabilized or
increased for two consecutive quarters.

or most of us, summer is the

busiest time of year with BBQs,
pool parties and camping trips.
With the kids out of school and the sun
shining bright, its a great time to be out
and about! But what about those carrelated activities we all know and love
each summer time? We hope they have a
place on your itinerary this summer, too.
The race track is a great place to get
wholesome family entertainment. The
burning rubber, the smell of unburnt
gasoline, the roar of the engines, and the
flinging of dirt and dust. It just doesnt
get much better than that on a weekend
night out. Southern Oregon is lucky to
have many different options for a race
fix, including the Champion Raceway
drag strip in White City and Southern
Oregon Speedway circle track in White
City. There are also Outlaw Cage Kart
races and various motorcycle races
throughout the summer, as well.
Car shows are all the rage these days,
as well. And for good reason...who
doesnt like to walk around outside
looking at the bright and beautiful cars
displayed just for you? Most hot rod
owners spend countless hours and
thousands of dollars making their cars
perfect and they love to spend weekends
in the sunshine showing-off their metal

beauties to everyone.
Entrance to most shows these days is
free and offers additional activities such
as delicious food carts, raffles, silent
auctions, and live music. Some also
benefit specific causes or organizations,
so its a two-for-one deal.
This year, Bob Thomas Automotive
will be holding our annual benefit
car show on June 21st, from 9:00am3:00pm. All proceeds will go to Jackson
County Foster Parent Association to help
the foster children of Jackson County.
So come down, check-out the cars and
have some FUN! Check-out our website
for more information or to register
your car in the upcoming show at www.
bobthomasautomotive.com.
So whether you are into fast, dirty
cars or like the more polished old-school
variety, make sure to include some car
shows in your schedule this summer.
And dont forget to visit Bob Thomas
Automotive for all YOUR vehicle repair
and maintenance needs all summer- long.
We are open Monday-Friday 8:00am5:30pm and are located just minutes from

risk (when the US sneezes, the rest of

the world gets a cold). Put most simply,
global stocks can be divided into two
buckets: developed economies (such as
Western Europe and Japan), and emerging
economies (such as Brazil,
Russia, India and China).
Developed economies
have characteristics
similar to the US markets:
strong rule of law, mature
businesses, and welldefined property rights.
Investors can look to
developed markets to
provide diversification
from an entirely UScentric portfolio, without
taking on a great deal of additional risk.
Emerging markets lack the safety of the
more mature economies, but generally
have faster growth rates. Emerging
markets can supplement a portfolio with
greater total-return possibilities.
Given the additional risk in emerging
markets, investors should approach this
segment cautiously. For most individuals,
identifying individual securities in the
emerging economies represents too
much risk, and they would be better
off identifying a mutual fund that takes
a more diversified approach. It is also
prudent to limit the total international
exposure within a portfolio. After all,
global stocks may present growth and
diversification opportunities, but US
equity markets remain the safest way to
invest in stocks around the globe.

ast month, I (Matt) went to visit

our Seattle office and decided to
go to a soccer game. The Seattle
Sounders played in front of a raucous
crowd of 38,000 on a rainy Saturday and
beat the Colorado Rapids
4-1. If youve never
been to a Sounders or a
Portland Timbers game,
it is quite an experience;
you feel that youve
been transported to a
European soccer match.
Watching Clint Dempsey
score two goals inspired
me to cheer on the US
team in the upcoming
FIFA World Cup. On
June 12th, the biggest sporting event in
the world begins, matching 32 teams
for over a month. This World Cup will
take place in Brazil, now the worlds 7th
largest economy.
Brazil is not alone in its sporting, or its
economic aspirations. Recent predictions
estimate that Chinas economy may surpass
the US in size this year, a watershed
moment for the global economy. As we
invest from the comfort of our Small Town
with Big Atmosphere, what do we need to
know about global investing?
Global investing is too big of an
opportunity to ignore. The US stock
market represents about 1/3 of the total
market value in the world, and less
than 5% of the population. As the global
middle-class continues to grow, the
US share of global wealth is likely to
diminish as well. Consider this; just 10
years ago the US represented over 40%
of global market capitalization. The trend
has been downward, and this is largely
due to the economic liberalization of the
emerging markets. Countries such as
Taiwan, Korea, and Singapore have led
the way, but larger economies such as
China, India, and Brazil have followedsuit. This is not a short-term trend, but
one that could take a century to mature.
With so much opportunity abroad,
investors must then consider the best
way to approach the global markets.

n area rug can serve to warm-up

a tile or hardwood floor area,
anchor a seating area, establish
a dining or play area, and add character
to nearly any indoor or outdoor space.
Synthetic area rugs can be quite
affordable, sisal rugs can be bordered for
interest and hemp
rugs are great for
making a statement.
Whether you
choose to go with
a machine-made
or a hand-knotted
wool rug, youll
have many color,
size, pattern options
in many price ranges. And, braided rugs
are not just available in round shapes
anymore like they were years ago and are
now quite popular.
Its best to know the general size of rug
or rugs needed. If you know that your
dining table is 4' x 6' its a good rule of
thumb to add a minimum of 2 feet on
each side for chairs to push back. That
calculates to the need for an 8' X 10' rug
which happens to be a standard size.
Often, one must be a bit creative in
deciding on the placement and size of an
area rug and opt to have one custom-made.
While not necessarily more expensive
per square foot, they do generally have a
6-month production lead time.
If you need coordinating rugs, I
recommend finding a rug within a color
family. For instance, an entry rug, a great

room rug and a dining area rug may all be
viewed at one time in an open floor plan.
This time of year, we are all planning
on spending more time outdoorsan
outdoor area rug is a wonderful way to
brighten-up a patio or deck space as well
as make it more inviting.
Most outdoor rugs are
made of a washable
fiber and can actually
be hosed-down, when
needed. At the end of
the season, clean your
outdoor rugs thoroughly,
allow them to dry
completely and then roll
them up and store them indoors.
Indoor rugs should be placed on pads
to help with longevity and should be
vacuumed or otherwise cleaned often.
There are several thicknesses of pad
options available just as you would find
in wall to wall carpeting pads.
Seeing and touching sample rugs
is well worth your time and effort. At
Eleglance Home Dcor, we have samples
and rugs from several companies and
are here to help you make your indoor
and outdoor space your home for the
summer months ahead!

Real Estate Due Diligence
Need New Window Coverings?
by Sandy J. Brown, AICP
few months ago, I was helping

clients with the purchase of
their first home. They found a
house in the City of Medford that they
wanted to make an offer on. As part of
the due diligence process, I went into the
planning department to inquire about
permits on the property and any longrange plans for the area. I was told that
the vacant lots next to the parcel, which
my client saw as a
great asset, was soon
to be constructed
into a major arterial
roadway. This
information had not
been included in
the seller disclosure
statement and so
the deal quickly fell
apart. But it got me
thinking about due
diligence and how
essential a part it should be in any real
estate purchase transaction.
Under Oregon law, the seller has a legal
duty to disclose all known information
and the seller can be held liable for any
intentional misinformation or omissions.
However, oftentimes the seller is unaware
of these items so it is important to do
your own research. Following is a list of
issues that should be researched as part
of the due diligence process, some more
common than others.
Most Common:
Title Review: A thorough title review
can tell you whether there is any litigation
pending that might threaten the title of
the property, whether the seller actually
has title, and whether there are any
encumbrances or financial obligations,
such as a mortgage or tax lien.
Inspection: A home inspection is
a visual inspection of a house and its
components including the roof, windows,
foundation, drainage, appliances,
plumbing, electrical, HVAC, chimneys,
insulation, crawl & attic spaces and more.
The home inspection should give you a
clear idea of the structural integrity of
any building on the property and can
also point-out any potential physical
problems.
Septic: A septic inspection will
typically include locating the system
and uncovering access holes, checking
for signs of back-up, measuring sludge
layers, identifying leaks, inspecting
mechanical components, and pumping
the tank if necessary.
Water and Well: Under Oregon law, the
seller is required to test domestic wells
used for drinking or other household
purposes for arsenic, nitrates, and total
coliform bacteria. Additional well testing
will give you a better idea of water quality
and if any contamination exists, as well
as if the system components are up to
code or require maintenance. A flow test
determines the rate at which the well
delivers water.

Coverings?
Need New
Appraisal: An appraisal will give you

a third-party estimate on the value of
the property. Appraisals are necessary
if you want to finance the purchase, but
you may want an appraisal even if you
are paying cash to help you evaluate the
value of the investment.
Land Uses/Zoning: You should findout whether the property is zoned for

ts easy to add splashes of color

to empty and challenging spaces
on patios, porches and decks.
This time of year, with flowers
and landscapes in-bloom all around us, open spaces on
patios, porches and decks can be challenging to soften
due to a lack of color and/or greenery. One of the best
and easiest ways to add the splash of
color youve been looking for is by
adding pots, wood planters or hanging
baskets. The placement is important
as each pot, planter or hanging basket
needs to feel as if it belongs where its
placed. Usually, entry or exit points
in these challenging areas are good
places to put some color. One pot or
planter placed alone may be fine, but a
grouping has a better impact and helps
give a feeling of balance. The sizes of
the pots or planters you choose are
important because they need to be
proportionate in size to the area you
are trying to beautify.
When choosing pots, traditional
terra cotta pots are great but have
a limited life span unless you bring
them in out of the weather during the
winter. Glazed clay pots are another
good option that offer many colors options. If you go
this direction, think about the color scheme used in the
painting of your house and try to pick colors that flow
or complement those colors. You want to think about the
larger design picture and try to tie everything together.
Choosing the plantings to fill the pots is the easy and

fun part. Good potting soil is essential and will help
ensure that your new plantings thrive in their new
spot. Usually, the best options for bright colors come in
several varieties of annualsbut dont forget to consider
planting perennials that give great color and long-lasting
blooms that will come back year after year.
Another good planting option is
the different bulb varieties that are
available in our area. You can plant
bulbs to bloom at different times
throughout the growing season
in the same pot or planter, giving
you continued interest in the same
planter.
Larger pots are a great planting
option for larger dwarf evergreen
trees or larger shrubs. This is
an added benefit because of the
four season interest you get from
evergreen plantings throughout the
winter when local landscapes are inneed of interest.
These are some quick and easy
ways to dress-up those empty spaces
on your patio or deck and get that
added splash or color youve been
looking for. With just a little work,
youll have plenty of returns all year-long.

used for annual weeds is 2-4,D, a synthetic auxin, which
is a class of plant hormones. It is absorbed through the

leaves and is translocated to the meristems of the plant.

1001183.1 State Farm, Home Office, Bloomington, IL
1001183.1
Granular forms of 2-4,D are found in products like Weed
n Feed, which also contains a fertilizer. For this product
to be successful, one must apply it on a wet lawn, as
the herbicide granules must stick to the leaves of the
intended target species. The nice thing about granular
formulations is the reduced risk of drift. The pellets are
fairly large, and although theres a bit of dust involved,
early morning applications can reduce even the drift of
the dust, as there is usually no or little wind.
Liquid formulations of 2-4,D are easily obtained at

most hardware stores and nurseries. The nice thing
about liquid formulations is the more complete coverage
one obtains. One must be careful to not build up too
much pressure when
applying, as smaller
droplets (mist) will
tend to drift more
easily than larger
ones, applied under
less pressure.
As with most
herbicides, they
should be applied in
the cooler part of the
day, and when the chance of rain is nil. After 6-8 hours,
you may resume watering.
Read the label of any herbicide product, and follow
those directions explicitly. Unless youre experienced, do
not mix herbicides.
This is but a brief discussion, not meant to be complete
or exhaustive by any means. Use the internet to explore

Enter as Strangers, Leave as Friends
This magical 3 day event will take

place July 12th-14th at the Britt Gardens
in Jacksonville and is a guaranteed
amazing day out for the entire family.
The theme, Create a Spark! was
inspired by the Jackson County
Librarys Summer Reading Program,
Fizz, Boom, Read.
Children and adults can look forward
to over 35 booths of hands-on arts and
crafts and daily feeding of the beloved
litter-eating dragons, Rosabelle and
Pebbles, and our newest addition, Lulu!
Older children will enjoy crafts such as candle making,
pottery and wood working, while younger children will
have a chance to make their own puppets, sand and
easel art, and have their faces painted. The whole family
can look forward to child-focused stage performances,
yummy food from our Dragon Deli and activities like
storytelling on the hill. We always enjoy having some
local celebrities reading to the children,

including a few well-known news anchors!
The Festival runs for a total of 3
sessions over a 3 day period:
Saturday, July 12th 4:30pm-8:30pm
Sunday, July 13th 4:30pm-8:30pm
Monday, July 14th 10:00am-1:30pm
Admission for this spark-tacular event
is $3 per day for adults and children.
Our goal has always been to offer an
amazing day of entertainment and
education while keeping the cost to
families as low as possible.
This years Festival promises to inspire children of all
ages and will help us continue our mission of instilling
a love of reading in children; a gift that if given in
childhood can last a lifetime.

A Cup of Conversation
by Michael Kell
his month
next year, my
lovely wife and
I will be celebrating
our 25th wedding anniversary. Thats a
quarter-century ago. Its also the same
year we started a life and business in
Southern Oregon. As we grow older,
more and more people ask us how we
met, how we got started, how we made
it all work. The story cant be told in
six-hundred words but I can give you a
snapshot of what our time here must look
like from historys point of view.
Two lost souls trying to find their place
in the world first find each other. With
youth enough to take big risks, ties were
cut binding them to the familiar. Breaking
orbit of family, friends and career, they
set-out to start a life together in the great
unknown. Big-city beach kids head east
to the Colorado Rockies looking for a
mountain to call home. Winter at 8,000
feet is a different life paradigm so it
didnt take long to learn snow drifts until
June was not going to work. Continuing
east wasnt in
the picture so
sights were set
on somewhere
in the Pacific
Northwest. Not
knowing exactly
where they were
going, crossing
back into
California wasnt
an option. Both
enjoyed the best
that crazy state
would ever have
to offer and knew fate lay somewhere else.
Driving around Idaho, Washington
and Oregon for weeks on-end with no
more direction than the feel of a place,
we found ourselves in a little B&B on
the central coast of Oregon. Weary
from travelling through countless small
towns and the extraordinary expenses
wanderlust requires, doubt began to
set in. The inn-keeper told us about a
place called the Rogue Valley. The old
gentleman said wed probably find what
we were searching for in a small town
called Ashland. We were both at a place in
our journey to actually believe him.
The look on Marys pretty face when
we cruised into the Ashland Plaza told me
all I needed to know. It was April so the
mountains were snow-capped with the
Shakespeare Festival flags flying amongst
the backdrop of a perfect spring day.
With one short pass down the boulevard
and back, we checked into the old Timber
Lodge Motel. Within a week, Mary found
a small two-bedroom Craftsman to rent
right off Main Street and we were home.
Mary went to work doing facials in a
popular salon and as a server at nights at
A Piece of History!
THIS MONTHS FEATURED PROPERTY
Incredible opportunity to
purchase your piece of Historic
Jacksonville. Superior lot and
location for this 1880 built vintage
home with 2331 sq. ft. Large and
rare .68 acre lot filled with mature
plants and trees. Detached studio/
guest house built in 1990 with
584 sq. ft. Very special home and
property. $695,000
Together
the original Chateaulin. Driving endlessly
around the Northwest gave me plenty of
time to think about what I wanted to do
with the rest of my life. The interesting
thing is I could not stop thinking about
coffee. The fact I didnt even drink coffee
told me I was on to something. If someone
asked me what Starbucks was I might
have said he was a character in Herman
Melvilles Moby Dick.
It never occurred to me to pick up a
paper and look for a job. For some reason
I knew there was something else for
usso began the search by hanging-out
at the only real coffee house in Ashland.
Knowing nothing about coffee or retail,
I figured all I needed to learn would be
right in front of me. For an hour every
day Id sit at a table near the cash register
and discretely record every transaction
on the margins of my newspaper while
nurturing a love for good coffee. During
the rest of the day I drove around the
valley looking for locations and learning
everything I could about the coffee
business. After a couple of months, I had
a solid business
plan with real
numbers (I
sat next to the
cash register).
In case youre
wondering, I
dont feel the
least bit bad
interning this
way, especially
after having
the same thing
done to us a
hundred times
over the decades. I still smile and shake
my head every time I see it happening. By
providence and the generosity of friend
and mentor, Ted Vandermeer, we started
GoodBean in late October, 1990. Just in
time, I might add. The proverbial coffee
can was empty.
In a nutshell, thats how GoodBean
began, but the greater story is our walk
together, beating the huge odds of
two kids weathering great storms in
livelihood, marriage, family, and health.
Small town life and livelihood is fraught
with the challenges of fishbowl living, yet
through it all we lived a good life, a rare
life, a privileged life. This is where we
found our faith and found healing along
a difficult yet incredibly-rewarding path.
Our two beautiful children were raised
here and will always call Jacksonville
home no matter where they abide. We
dont yet know how this story will end
except as it began, together. Happy 24th
Anniversary, Mary Sunshine.
Michael Kell is co-owner of GoodBean
Coffee in Jacksonville and has started a blog
at www.wordperk.com featuring more stories
about small town life.

D&M, Eagle Point
rdinarily, my column is
about the style of a garden.
This month, the style I
encountered was not at all what I
expected. Its amazing to me how gardens
evolve and how ones gardening side
naturally pops-out.
Bonnie Selvitella
will be the first to
tell you shes not a
gardener. She is, by
nature, a designer,
a user of old junk
and a re-purposer
of treasures. While
visiting her acre
backyard on Hueners
Lane, you find a garden filled with
surprises, walkways of adventure, fun
elements, and, (I hate to disagree with
her) a wonderful garden!
Bonnie moved into her
cottage 14 years ago,
with a background in
designing and re-purposing
old treasures and started
restoring the old place. One
summer morning, when she
awoke and saw the massive
back yard, she realized, I
need to do something with
all that! She began with a
plan and designed 3 main
patios for sitting and dining
with large, stone walkways
placed throughout. An old,
restored redwood cover she found ended-up
covering her dining patio. A huge 15-foot
umbrella satellite dish placed by her back
patio became the frame for a white wisteria
vine. Thanks to a girlfriend who was
learning to weld, a shed-shaped frame shed
fallen in love with ended-up in the back as a
spot to show-off more restored pieces.
Next, she knew she wanted a look of
its been here forever, and with only
one huge English walnut in the back
yard, she had fast-growing cypress trees
planted by the pedestrian path to create
privacy and shelter. She also wanted an
herb garden, so the area closest to the
back patio then found a purpose. Her love
of water features then provided an excuse
to re-purpose old sinks, tubs, faucets
and even a canoe! With three features
in back, and two in front, Bonnie had
more places to express her design style.
When I pointed-out how pretty a patch
of lithodora was near one water feature,
Bonnie looked puzzled and asked, That?
I dont know the names of most of them.
It took me a while to really understand
the approach Bonnie has taken. She
doesn't think of gardening first. Rather,
she comes first from a re-purposing point

of view with the item shes found, be it a
door, an old gate, a tool box, or watering
can. She creates the scene, and the final
aha! is that it needs a plant to complete
it! Bonnie created a bedroom scene with
an old rusty bed, a
wooden mirror and
funky side table, and
then allowed ivy to
blanket the bed.
It was the result of a
natural design in her
head that was driven
first by the restored
art and the scene she
created. The scene
directs me, she said, and then when Im
done, I usually need to plant something.
The design element is always what drives
Bonnie, not any idea of
planting. I find the color and
shape I like in a plant, ask if
it will take sun or shade and
get it and if it doesn't grow
there, I just can't help it any!
She notes, Recycled and
restored is what I'm really
about I guess.
Easy-to-grow chives popup in old buckets, an element
repeated throughout the
yard while happy ground
covers, vinca minor (which
she selected) and wild
strawberries are left to take
their own paths. Creeping Charlie hides
and ducks and shows-up in random spots
as do thymes, hens and chicks, all tucked
everywhereall easy and happy! She does
have a love of certain plants like roses,
rock roses, sedums, zinnias and poppies.
Masses of orange poppies throughout her
back create what she likes, which is the
wild and natural English garden look.
She also adores Johnnie jump-ups tucked
in her metal buckets and pots!
The tour of Bonnies garden was
fun, as was noticing that whether her
plants become secondary or last, they all
somehow fit and become a part of her
personal garden statement! Id say, Careful
Bonnie...your design is spilling into
gardening and in fact, you are a gardener,
even if it is secondary! Thanks for the
adventure of imagination I encourage
you all to pop-by Wheelbarrow Lane and
take a stroll with Bonnie, who loves to share
her one-of-a-kind creation!

and more. Jacksonville Elementary School

of art for students to grow-up with.
Eugene Bennett created the art behind
three of my personal favorite Britt posters
and now they are beginning to show up
at Estate Sales!
Genes 1963 painting is my favorite
of all. Angela Warren, Britts Director of
Performing Arts explained it best in her
blog entry from February 3, 2012. In 1984
when Britt decided to create an annual
Fine Arts Poster, Gene offered his 1980
painting Evening at Britt (a depiction of
the orchestra on stage in the newly built
permanent pavilion) as the first poster.
In 1992 for Britts 30th anniversary, Gene
allowed the Festival to use his 1963 Britt
Festival as the poster. And in 1996, the
Fine Arts Poster again featured Genes
worka 1991 sepia-toned oil of six Britt

musicians called The Rehearsal.
Britt printed these posters for their
members, and then they go on sale to the
general public. I was lucky to purchase
the 1991 sepia-toned signed poster at the
Bennett Estate Sale for $50! I purchased a
framed version of the 1963 Britt Festival
that was the 1992 poster and was willing
to pay some serious money for it. When
I do run across a Britt poster at a sale,
I inevitably overhear someone saying
which poster is their favorite and which
one they own. Perhaps you have a signed
Britt poster that you are wondering the
value of. These values are now being
established by what they are selling for
at sales and even auctions. Your $20-$35
investment will increase in value.
Britt has a wonderful display of framed
posters at the downtown Medford offices
and if youve ever been pondering
purchasing a poster to frame yourself,
Id get right on it. They have one of
everything. And, if you are looking
for the Eugene Bennett posters like I
amkeep at it. Its worth it! But in the
meantime, there are still some signed
copies at Britts offices.

say its all relative.
My youngest son
was, and continues to
demonstrate many of the
above qualities; the list you
choose from depends on
your perspective. Today,
I see him as an energetic,
independent, confident and
curious little boy; however,
this has not always been the case. I often
share the Hot Stove Experience when I try
to explain his personality
When he was almost three, he was
lingering underfoot as I cooked dinner.
Like a good mother, I gave him the
standard warning, The stove is hot
it will burn you. He decided to test my
knowledge and patience by pointing to
different areas on the stove and asked,
Here or here? What about over here?
I took a step back and looked at my son.
I wondered, what could be going through
his mind? I knew based on my education
and experience with children that he
wanted to please me. I could see it in
those giant blue eyes staring up at me that
he was conflicted over whether he should
listen to me or indulge his own curiosity.
What was I going to do with this kid?
Clearly, I needed another approach or
this eighteen-year long journey was not
going to end pleasantly for either of us!
I hypothesized that he needed to have
experiences for himself before he could
trust what I say is valid and real.
After a brief moment of consideration,

I decided to launch an impromptu
experiment, based on reverse psychology.
I got on his level and I explained once
again, as best as I possibly could that if
he touched the hot stove, it would burn
him, it would hurt very badly and we
may have to go to the doctor to get it
taken care of. I then asked, Do you still
feel like you need to touch it and learn
for yourself? With those earnest, wide
eyes locked on mine he slowly shook his
head yes. I thought, Expletive! Now
what do I do?! My mind raced, I had
to do/say something
meaningful/valuable
while I still had his
attention. Obviously
explanations and,
No, because I said
so! does not work for
this kid!
I couldnt believe
what I did next, I
said, Lets do it.
Together we ran our
hands over the GE
range. Beginning with
the cool spots, we
made our way to the
warmer top surface.
When we approached the hotter areas,
I pulled away dramatically and said,
Ouch! Hot! His hands stopped where I
left mine, he looked at me intrigued and
proceeded towards the burner. Inside I
was screaming NO! With muscles tense,
ready to snatch him away as he held his
hand just centimeters above the red-hot
burner. I thought, oh my goodness, my
kid is psychotic and I just encouraged it!
Im going straight to hell after I get out of
jail. Then, to my relief, he pulled his hand
back and said, Yep, its hot!
My son learned the stove is indeed
hot, I learned that my little boy is a
doer and experiences drive him. Once I
accepted that he mentally and physically
needed to do things on his own, I began
to appreciate and respect him so much
more. As parents, we hope that our
children will one-day posses all those
positive virtues. What we need to realize
is that some children are actually born
with them, theyve just been mislabeled.
They simply need to be relabeled, guided
and nurtured.

Lawn And Garden: Avoid Trimmer Trouble

by Using Eye Protection
hen it comes to
landscaping, nothing
puts the finishing
touches on a tidy garden or yard
like a power lawn trimmer. Trimmers are the secondmost popular lawn implement, behind the lawn mower
with gardeners and homeowners.
Unfortunately, these nylon lawn trimmers are now
the fifth-leading cause of penetrating eye injuries. Each
year, trimmers alone cause more than 1,500 eye injuries.
Operating at speeds
up to 8500 revolutions
per minute, these
trimmers spin off
tiny fragments of the
nylon line, which can
enter the eye along
with dirt and grass
debris. The result:
corneal lacerations
and fungal infections
severe enough to
threaten sight.
But trimmers aren't
the only danger when
working in the garden
or yard. Small stones
from a lawn mower's
blade can also cause a
devastating eye injury. In addition, tree or bush branches can
cause painful scratches to the eye. And, dust from fertilizers
and weed killers can cause burns or eye irritations.
The American Optometric Association offers this
advice to help prevent eye injuries in the home garden
environment:
Wear wrap-around safety goggles, made of
polycarbonatethe strongest lens material available.
You can find these at most hardware and department
stores. Look for the label, American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) Z87.1 standards.
Dont rely on ordinary prescription glasses for eye

safety. Although they are impact-resistant, they are
not safety eyewear. In addition, chemical or spray
dust can get around the sides easily and into the eyes.
Wear sunglasses that block 99-100 percent of the
suns UV-A and UV-B ultraviolet radiation and screen
out 75 to 90% of light. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet
light over time can cause cataracts and age-related
macular degeneration, which are potentially blinding.
Wide-brimmed caps and hats can only eliminate about
50 percent of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
Additional tips for picking out sunglasses: If you
can see your eyes through the lenses, the glasses are
not dark enough. Look for a gray tint lens, as to not
distort color perception.
Cover the sharp tips of bamboo or metal stakes (often
used for tomato or climbing plants) with plastic wire
nuts to prevent an accidental puncture wound.
If an eye injury occurs, apply these emergency care
procedures and then seek treatment immediately at a
hospital emergency room.
For chemical splashes, flood the eye non-stop with
low-pressure water for 15 minutes to dilute or
remove the chemical.
For blows to the eye, apply cold compresses for 15
minutes.
Never wash an eye that is cut or punctured. Bandage
it lightly and go to the hospital.
If an object is stuck in the eye, leave it there and seek
treatment at the hospital.
For foreign material in the eye, dont rub. Lift the
upper eyelid outward and pull it down over the lower
lashes. This will cause tears, which can flush the foreign
matter out. If not, seek the treatment at the hospital.
Last but not least, remember to have an eye
examination every year or two. Protect your eyes today
so that you can enjoy the beauty of your landscape for
years to come.

Providence Medford: Creating healthier communities, together
by Hillary Brown, Public Relations Coordinator,

Providence Medford Medical Center
rovidence Medford Medical Center is buying

into the old saying, you are what you eat,
supporting a new program aimed at creating
healthier communities. Beginning in June, Providence
will be partners in the new Fresh Rewards program at
the Rogue Valley Growers & Crafters Saturday Market
on The Commons.
Fresh Rewards is an incentive program designed to help
stretch food dollars for southern Oregonians receiving
benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program. Fresh Rewards matches the first $4.00 redeemed
at the market by SNAP participants, in some cases
doubling their ability to buy fresh, locally-grown food.
Providence Medford is partnering with the market
to supplement more than 1200 healthy meals for local
families. Its all part of a renewed focus on preventative
care; helping community members become and stay
healthy to increase quality of life in the Rogue Valley and
reduce the need for serious medical intervention.
Market Fresh Stir Fry
8 ounces 3/8 inch thick rice noodles
Sauce
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
teaspoon chili garlic sauce
Vegetables
4 teaspoons peanut oil, divided
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 small onion, thinly sliced
2 carrots, thin sliced diagonally
1 cup English cucumbers, cut length-wise, seeded,
thinly sliced
pound (4 cups) napa cabbage, shredded
1 small red bell pepper, sliced in thin matchsticks
1 cup bean sprouts
cup cilantro
Double portions for vegetarian
Optional lean protein: 2 ounces per serving of
cooked shrimp, seared scallops, thinly sliced beef,
chicken, tofu or pork
1. Rehydrate rice noodles in warm water until soft,
about 15 to 30 minutes. Drain well just before cooking.
2. Combine sauce ingredients and prepare vegetables,
keeping in separate piles.
3. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add 2 teaspoons oil and heat until a drop of water
sizzles in the pan. Add garlic and onion; stir-fry.
Providence is excited to be part of this venture.,

said Sherri Steele, chief nursing officer at Providence
Medford. The health of our community is of the utmost
importance. It will take all of us working together to
achieve this goal.
According to Providence nutritionists, adults should
eat two to six cups of fresh produce a day, while children
should eat two to five. They say the numbers shouldnt be
intimidating, though. The important thing, is to remember
to eat as many fruits and vegetables as possible.
Experts say filling your plate with more vegetables and
fruits can make a big difference in helping you maintain
a healthy weight, reduce your risk of serious diseases,
and improve your energy throughout the day.
For more information on healthy eating, visit www.
providence.org. Information regarding Fresh Rewards is
available at www.rvgrowersmarket.com. See ad on page 3.
4. Add vegetables with longest cooking first, e.g.

carrots, cucumber, cabbage, bell peppers, and bean
sprouts. Stir occasionally to keep vegetables from
burning, about 5 minutes. Remove vegetables from
pan when 90% cooked.
5. In same pan, heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Add
rice noodles and press them down into the pan
for about 30 seconds or until slightly crispy and
translucent. Turn noodles over for another 30
seconds. Add the sauce mixture to the pan and toss.
Return vegetables to pan and mix lightly. Garnish
with cilantro and serve.

Joyfull Living
by Louise Lavergne
Yoga or the Gym? The big difference
is all about the Adrenals!
s there a
difference
in the health
benefits between practicing yoga and
going to the gym? Yes, there are many,
but if your goals are just to keep fit and/or
lose weight they can both accomplish that
to varying degrees. It all depends on your
commitment, what kind of yoga style you
practice, what you do at the gym, and
how often you do it. Some forms of yoga
are more fitness-oriented and are more
like a gym experience. The fact is, when
you exercise you improve
muscle tone and burn
calories. The added bonus
that most forms of yoga
offer is deeper mind/
body awareness. Many
people find that once
they start a yoga program
they are more inspired
to eat healthier foods,
which is key to a healthy
body whether you want
to lose or maintain
weight! All forms of
yoga will also help you
improve balance, muscle
endurance and flexibility, which is not
always the case with a gym workout.
Additionally, the focused breathing with
yoga can significantly help you relax
and lower stress and this is where the
biggest difference starts. Working out at
the gym, while watching TV or rushing to
be done, is not as effective in reducing
stress levels.
There is much more to yoga than
just stretching, especially in a JoyFull
Yoga practice. Each class is designed
to address all the key components to a
healthy body and mind and promote
healthy gland function, which is not as
easy to accomplish in a gym visit. You
can work out at the gym several times
a week, look fit and feel unwell, tired
or lack oomph because of adrenal
fatigue. Those two little glands can
make a huge difference in your overall
wellness because they regulate your
energy production and storage, immune
function, heart rate, muscle tone and
other processes that enable you to cope
with stress. Adrenal fatigue is produced
when your adrenal glands cant keep

up with your physical, emotional, or
psychological stress levels. Caffeine
can give you temporary relief from the
sluggish feeling, but regular JoyFull yoga
classes can help your adrenals do their job
more efficiently. Another important gland
that is addressed in JoyFull Yoga is the
Thyroid. Adrenals and Thyroid help each
other and when you activate these glands
through specific yogic practices, the over
all feel good of the class stays with
you for a long time. Also, the dynamic
movement meditation is
a fun way to stimulate
the lymphatic system
while strengthening the
brain and heart. The final
relaxation helps your
body recover from the
lactic acid produced by
aerobic exercise.
In the end its all about
balance in our busy lives.
Just know that simply
huffing and puffing and
sweating at the gym
may not be enough for
long term health and
wellness. Make your self-care routines a
priority and include things that will help
you cultivate a happy heart and mind to
help lower your stress levels. Also, the
busier your life is, the more you need to
give yourself quiet time. JoyFull Yoga
can be a wonderful way to take care of
yourself on so many levels on its own or
as a supplement to improve the quality of
your other forms of exercise. You can look
AND feel good!!

recently heard a local country

singer on the radio talking about
the difficulty of hitting it big in the
music business. He shared how, one day,
feeling tired and discouraged, hed heard
his phone ring and decided not to answer
it. Later, when he listened to his messages,
he discovered that it was his agent who had
called. Too bad youre not there, the agent
said. I have Garth Brooks on the other line
and he wanted to talk to you. Ouch.
Some opportunities only come around
once. This doesnt mean that other good
things wont arise, but there are certain
windows that open only briefly and then
close: I dont imagine that Garth Brooks
will be available to chat again, and I know
for a fact that I will never have the chance
to take my junior year abroad. I dont
believe the bumper sticker adage that its
never too late to have a happy childhood.
Yes it is. If you are an adult who did
not have a happy childhoodbarring
a reincarnated experienceits simply
not going to happen. Of course you can
still find happiness: you can be playful,
or go to a park and slide down the slide,
but you will never, ever, be a young,
physically uncompromised, carefree little
person again. Period.
Im not being a naysayer here; Im being
a Yeasayer. These points are reminders to
Carpe Diem. Seize the day. Seize the moment,
the opportunity. You might be tempted to
see that singers story as an example of bad
luck, but I dont see it that way. He wasnt
unlucky. He just didnt say yes.
There is a formula for good fortune and
it is this: First, you prepare your outer
self. You practice whatever it is that you
love. You hone your skills and ask for
guidance whenever you can. Second, you
prepare your inner self. You cultivate a
quiet, alert awareness and receptivity;
yoga, meditation, or any contemplative
spiritual practice is excellent for preparing
a fertile ground for opportunity to plant
itself. And lastly, you answer the damn

phone. You say, Yes, rather than No.
At every possible turn you say yes to
trying things, going places, and extending
yourself. Yes opens your horizon as
well as your heart. No closes you down,
contracting your inner and outer worlds.
Saying yes might be exhausting at
times, and it will certainly take you out of
your comfort zone, but it will also make
your world much bigger, and the bigger
your world, the greater the number of
opportunities that will present themselves
to you and the more chance there is that
something wonderful will enter and take
root. Yes is an attitude of courage and
openness. It is the trust that, by risking
yourself and opening to life, amazing
things will happen, and it is the knowledge
that even the so-called bad things are
just experiences that grow your wisdom.
At the end of the journey no one ever
says, I tried too many things. I was too
open to adventure. I gave too much. I said
yes too often. Never. People say, I wish
Id answered the phone. I wish Id gone to
France. I wish Id played more. I wish Id
kissed that girl, or taken that chance.
There are only so many opportunities,
only so long that you are young, only so long
that you are healthy. This life, she is short.
Answer the phone. You never know
who might be calling.

Golfer's Elbow
Page 31
by Kyleen Brodie, LMT

The Elements Massage Therapy LLC
ost golf injuries are the result

of overuse. In search of that
perfect stroke, we repeat the
same swing motion over and over again,
causing significant stress on our muscles,
tendons, and joints.
Leading the list of common golf injuries
is Golfer's Elbow, technically known as
medial epicondylitis. The term Golfers
Elbow is used to describe pain at the
medial (inside) elbow where the tendons
of the wrist flexors insert into the upper
arm. The opposite of Golfers Elbow is
Tennis Elbow, which is pain at the lateral
(outside) elbow where the tendons of the
wrist extensors insert into the upper arm.
As you may recall, tendons are tough,
inelastic bands that connect muscles
to bones. They can be damaged in
two basic wayssudden trauma or
long-term overuse. A sudden trauma
inflicted upon the flexor tendon could
lead to inflammation of the tendon, or
tendinitis. If there is long-term overuse, the
inflammation may eventually subside and
leave behind a degenerated tendon, referred
to as tendinosis. The risk with tendinosis (in
this case Chronic Golfers Elbow), is that the
body has stopped trying to heal itself due to
the constant aggravation.
Golfers Elbow Symptoms
Typically, the Golfers Elbow sufferer
will experience pain or weakness when
performing gripping tasks or resisted
wrist/finger flexion. Pain can also be
present when the muscles are stretched,
and there may be trigger points in the
wrist flexor muscles of the forearm.
Inflammation is detected at the early
stages of trauma.
PreventionPrior to starting your
game, be sure to warm-up your body first
and prepare your wrists and forearms
with a few quick (think 2 second holds)
stretches. Then hit a few balls at the
driving range with gradual increases in
your range of motion.

CAMPS
Surgeons to strengthen the forearm muscles

and further protect you from injury:
Squeeze a tennis ball for 5 minutes in
each hand
Wrist curls: Holding a 2 to 3-pound
dumbbell or large can of soup, curl
your wrist up and down. Go slowly,
particularly while loweringthe
"eccentric contraction" phase of the
curl. This lengthens and strengthens
the muscle. Repeat 30 times with
your palm up, rest, then repeat 30
times with your palm down.
TreatmentWhen dealing with
Golfers Elbow, its important to catch the
symptoms early and make the necessary
changes before any serious damage is
done. With tendinitis, we seek to decrease
inflammation with rest, icing, possibly
wearing an arm brace, and performing
range of motion exercises to reduce
stiffness and increase flexibility.
If the injury doesnt respond to initial
treatment, it may have progressed to
tendinosis and require physical therapy
for proper treatment. Be sure to seek
professional guidance when dealing
with this chronic injury and remember
prevention is key to maintaining that
perfect swing.

Twin Peaks Trail: Great Panoramas & Excellent Exercise

PATIO DINING
210 E. CALIFORNIA STREET
DOWNTOWN JACKSONVILLE
541-899-9965
Orders to Go!
Catering Available
If youre the type of hiker who enjoys exercise and great

views, consider Twin Peaks Trail. This moderate-class trail
starts 100 yards up-road from the P-3 parking area in Forest
Park. The round-trip trail length is close to 2 miles.
After leaving the trail head, (2500 elevation) youll
hike along an abandoned logging road for .6/mile to
the first overlook, featuring great views of Jacksonville.
Along the way at about .3/mile, watch for an opening on
your left with an old dead pine tree 40 off of the trail.
Looking past the tree to the next ridge, about mile
further away, one can make-out the Naversen Family
Trail. Those with a keen eye will pick out the Dick Ames
Memorial Shelter.
Continuing another .3/mile, a view point sign on
the left, marks an opportunity to view Jacksonville, the
Rogue Valley and Mt. McLoughlin.
Continuing-up the logging road another 600 brings
one to a level area where the road ends but the trail
splits. On your right, a sign points to the Lower Twin
Peak, elevation 2900. This short walk offers more great
views and then ends in about .1/mile. After returning to
the level area where road ends, look for the sign on the
tree that point to Upper Twin Peak.
Upon reaching the top of this quarter mile trail,
elevation 3150, watch for the view point sign on your
right. Here you will be rewarded with spectacular views
of the Rogue Valley including Jacksonville, Payne Cliffs,
Grizzly Peak, Mt. McLoughlin, Crater Lake Rim, Mt.
Thielsen and the Three Sisters on a really clear day.
After returning to the main trail from the view point,
continue to the right and the trail will loop back to the
trail you came up on. Be sure to take along your camera
and binoculars for this hike!

Working Out-Doors
Fresh Air

FITNESS
Call Pam Wright, MS
pending time outdoors and

enjoying all that Jacksonville
has to offer requires a healthy
cardiovascular system, endurance and
stamina in order to get out there and
explore. Is it difficult to go for a long
walk, or do you find yourself huffing
and puffing as you make your way up a
flight of stairs? Being out of breath and
unable to exercise for extended periods
is discouraging and can decrease your
motivation to exercise because youre
feeling out of shape.
Well, Im here to tell you that you
dont have to train for a marathon to
improve your cardiovascular fitness
level and endurance. This can be done in
a far simpler way. But if you are trying
to become a faster runner or cyclist,
incorporating the steps below can also
help you improve your performance.
Why is it important to have a healthy
functioning cardiovascular system?
As we age our Vo2 max (the maximal
amount of oxygen the body can take in
and use), which is the best measurement
of cardiovascular fitness, decreases. A
30-year-old has an average Vo2 max
of 45 while a 60-year-old should have
an average of 35. You may not know
your Vo2 max but if you fall below
these norms, you will likely experience
low endurance and feel out of breath
with moderate exercise of any kind.
Maintaining a healthy Vo2 max also
decreases our risk of cardiovascular
disease and improves overall heart health.
Here are some simple ways you can
improve your cardiovascular fitness

and increase your ability to be active for
longer periods of time:
Start walking or jogging the
woodland trails, bike around town or
swim in a lake or pool nearby. Aim
for 30 minutes, 3-5 days per week.
Begin with 10-minute increments and
work-up to 30 minutes or longer.
Try interval training. While hiking
or jogging, increase your speed for
30 seconds then slow down for 10
seconds. Repeat 10 times.
While riding a bike, increase your
level of intensity by heading for a hill,
or shift to a tougher gear to increase
the intensity of the ride.
Add stair climbing to your usual
walk by doing 2 minutes of stair
climbing with 30-second rest intervals
in-between. Repeat 5 times.
At the gym, use interval training on
the elliptical trainer, stationary bike or
treadmill by increasing the resistance
or incline for 30 seconds and resting
for 10 seconds. Repeat 10 times.
Remember that exercise doesnt have to be
a chore. Choose an activity you enjoy such
as getting outside for a walk with a friend.
Its always a good idea to check with your
doctor before starting an exercise program,
especially if you have any risk factors such as
high blood pressure or diabetes.

Trail Talk
by Tony Hess, Gary Sprague & Bob Budesa
Is that poison oak?
hen youre
walking
the trails
in the Jacksonville
Woodlands or Forest
Park, youre better
off sticking to the trails to avoid exposure
to poison oak. Even allowing your pet to
wander through poison oak may result in
problems for YOU if you touch your pets
coat after Fido has been in contact.
Most people who were
raised locally, or have lived
here for several years, have
grown to recognize poison
oak. For those of you in
neither of these categories,
allow me to introduce you!
Toxicodendron diversilobum,
commonly called Pacific
poison oak, is extremely variable in
growth habit and leaf appearance. It
grows as a dense 1.513 foot-tall shrub in
open sunlight, a treelike vine 1030 feet,
and may be more than 100 feet long with a
37 inch trunk, as dense thickets in shaded
areas, or any form in between. It reproduces
by spreading rhizomes and by seeds.
The plant is deciduous, so after cold
weather sets in, the stems are leafless and
bear only occasional clusters of berries.
Stems may sometimes be identified by
occasional black marks where its milky
sap may have oozed and dried.
The leaves are divided into clusters
of 3, with scalloped, toothed, or lobed

edges. They generally resemble the lobed
leaves of a true oak, though tend to be more
glossy. Leaves are typically bronze when
first unfolding in February to March, bright
green in the spring, yellow-green to reddish
in the summer, and bright red or pink from
late July to October. White flowers form in
the spring, from March to June.
The rash and associated itch caused
through contact with this plant will vary
from person to person.
The oil from the stems
and leaves is easily
transferred through
dermal contact. Some
people are extremely
allergic, while others
can roll around in
it with little to no
consequence. When I was a firefighter, I
remember seeing people so susceptible
that simply breathing smoke in a poison
oak patch would cause itching and rashes
in their lungs!
There are several, if not many
treatments for the rash, which Ill not go
into here, as Im not qualified. Continued
contact with poison oak can, in some
cases, result in one becoming less
susceptible later, but I certainly wouldnt
try to obtain this immunity that way!!
The best way to avoid issues with poison
oak is staying on the trails, which includes
your leashed canine hiking partners!

Warm summer days,
barbecues, and hiking I
cant wait! Summer in the Rogue
Valley can be tough for our pets,
though. Here are a few things to
think about to get your pet ready
and to keep him safe in the warmer months.
TicksCommon pests in this area, ticks can transmit
Lyme disease (as well as other diseases) so should be
removed immediately when found on a pet. Even better,
because Lyme disease is now considered endemic to this
area, monthly preventatives should be utilized to prevent
ticks from attaching. The causative organism, Borrelia
burgdorferi, is transmitted by the bite of a Western BlackLegged Tick. Infected ticks must be attached for more
than 24 hours to spread Lyme disease so quick removal
is important. To remove a tick from your dog's skin, use
tweezers and pull back steadily and slowly to ease out
the tick's mouthparts. Be sure to wash the bite area and
your hands afterwards. Outward signs of the disease
in your dog may include: a red skin rash at the site of
the bite, a stiff/painful gait or lameness, fever, and/or a
reluctance to move. Lyme disease is best prevented by
preventing bites and removing any embedded ticks from
your dog as soon as possible. Always check yourself and
your pets after spending time in tall grass, wooded, or
brushy areas paying close attention to armpits, groin,
ears and under collars. Your veterinarian can help you
select a product to help repel/kill ticks based on your
dogs risk factors. Regular use of these products can
greatly reduce the numbers of ticks seen.
Heat exposureOur pets are not able to sweat like we
do in order to help them cool down. The only way they
can dissipate heat is by panting and the only place they
sweat is from between their toes. Because of this, they
are incredibly susceptible to heat stroke. As our weather
is getting warmer, it is important to remember these
tips: A) Never leave your pet unattended in a vehicle.
Even on a moderate day where outside temperatures are
only 70 degrees, the internal temperature of a car can
quickly reach 110, even with the windows cracked. B)
Avoid exercising your pet in the midday summer heat.
Instead, make sure your walk/run is scheduled in the

morning or late evening when temperatures are cooler.
C) Keep them off of hot pavement/sand when out and
about. Hot asphalt can easily blister the pads of their
feet. A good rule of thumb if it is too hot for you to
walk on comfortably, its too hot for your pet! D) Always
have adequate amounts of fresh water available when
your pet is outside. Provide multiple bowls/buckets
that cannot be tipped over during play time. E) When
outside, make sure your pet has a shade source available
at all times during the day.
If you are concerned that your pet may be suffering
from heat stroke, dont wait! Dampen your pet with cool
water (especially between the toes) and get to the nearest
veterinary office as soon as you can. Heat stroke can be
fatal if left untreated.
Foxtails and grass seedsWhile these pesky things
are rarely fatal, they can be a nightmare for pets in
the summer. Foxtails are excellent at finding their
way into the eyes, nose, and ears of dogs and cats. We
also commonly find them embedded between toes or
digging their way into the skin just about anywhere
on an animal. The result of a foxtail or grass seed can
mean a deep scratch on the eye, a bad ear infection or
punctured ear drum, or violent sneezing fits. When
they work their way into the skin, an abscess will
commonly result. While just a nuisance to pets and
owners alike, prevention is key to avoiding a trip to
the veterinary office. Here are a few things that will
help: A) Keep the grasses and weeds on your property
trimmed short so they cant go to seed. B) Keep the
hair between your pets toes and under their ears
trimmed short. It is also wise to do a thorough fullbody check after your pet has been running around
outside. C) Avoid areas with tall grasses and visible
foxtails when outdoors.
Even with all the dangers that exist for our pets,
summer in the Rogue Valley is absolutely wonderful. I
hope that yours is full of fun times and adventures with
your pets!

IckIt's a Tick!
by Dr. Jeff Judkins, Animalkind Veterinary Clinic
ore than once this year, Ive

heard my wife react with
disgust at the discovery of a
tick on one of our dogs or cats. It does
seem to be a particularly bad year for
ticks here in Southern Oregon, but thats
no reason to fear venturing-out with your
pooch onto one of our incredible regional
hiking trails. My wife and I live in an
area just outside of Jacksonville thats
prime tick habitat,
and so its been
necessary for us
to come to terms
with this reality.
But while ticks are
no doubt repulsive
creatures,
encounters with
them and the
potential hazards
they bring can be
minimized with
some simple nontoxic strategies.
Prevention measures, such as keeping
grass short and brush cut-back on your
property can reduce tick habitat. Guinea
fowl are particularly adept at clearing
ticks and other insect pests from the
landalthough your neighbors may not
appreciate the birds raucous vocalization!
Also, be sure to keep dogs from running
into tall grass, leaf debris and brush
during tick season. Ticks find a meal by
perching on vegetation and waiting for an
unknowing host to brush by.
Always check your dog and yourself
for ticks after a walk. Its much better
to find and remove a tickthen drown
it in soapy waterbefore it has had a
chance to attach itself. If you do happen
to find a tick attached to your pet, don't
panic. Grasp the tick by the body and
slowly pull directly outwards until it
dis-attaches. Better yet, a little device
called a tick key is virtually foolproof
for removing ticks. If the tick has been
attached for more than several hours,
swelling around the bite area can make
the arachnid difficult to remove without
leaving its head in your pet's skin. If
this should occur, apply an antibacterial
ointment to the area to prevent
infection. A Chinese herbal salve called
Golden Yellow Salve is particularly
effective in reducing inflammation and
infection of tick bites.
Its important to realize that we do

have Lyme and other tick-borne diseases
here in Southern Oregon, which can
affect pets, livestock, horses and humans
alike, so caution is definitely warranted.
Fear of these diseases, however, is no
reason to resort to using the spot-on
pesticide products such as Frontline or
Advantix. These products carry the very
real potential for adverse toxic effects. In
April 2009, the EPA
issued an advisory
about spot-on
products after
receiving 44,000
reports of adverse
effects the previous
year, ranging from
mild skin irritation
to seizures and
even death.
Ive found a
cedar oil spray
product called
Evolve (www.wondercide.com) to be
very effective in preventing pets from
acquiring ticks if used before venturing
into tick habitat. It can be used safely
on dogs and cats alike. Please note
that some cedar and other essential oil
products are unsafe for cats, so read label
instructions carefully!
Lyme disease is not nearly the problem
in Southern Oregon that it is in the
Eastern United States, but we do have
more cases in this region compared to the
rest of the Oregon. There is a vaccination
available for Lyme for dogs, but many
veterinarians dont recommend it due to
the high incidence of adverse reaction.
Studies have shown that the large majority
of dogs exposed to the Lyme organism
never become sick from the disease.
Its also helpful to know that a tick must
be attached to an animal for 48 hours
before Lyme disease can be transmitted
another reason to check your pets
carefully on a regular basis during tick
season. One of the many benefits of
living in this region is our access to a vast
array of outdoor activities. The reality
of potentially unappealing things like
ticks in the woods is no reason not to get
out there with our pets and enjoy the
outdoors!

A Long Night
id you miss me these past few

months? Ive been happy enjoying
Spring and now the start of
Summer. My life is still full of interesting
and fun moments (which you would
expect, of course).
A most interesting (and not so fun)
thing happened to me a few weeks agoI
got a bladder (urinary tract) infection.
As some of you ladies out there already
know, these are mighty unpleasant.
They give you the bizarre and annoying
sensation that you must pee every few
minutes. Being the well-trained and
good dog I am, that meant I needed to go
outside (I refuse to do anything like that
inside, of course) every few minutesor
seconds. During the day, it was okay,
since I have a handy dog door. Nighttime is a different storymom & dad
lock my dog door since our huge yard
has skunks, raccoons, foxes and other
critters wandering around at night. Being
skunked along with a bladder infection

would have been a nasty combination
and time for everyone. So my dad, being
the best friend he is, slept on the couch
(with me below on the floor) and took me
out on the leash all night long! I finally
fell asleep at 2 or 3 in the morning and got
at least a few hours of sleep before sunrise
and another round of nature calls!
I did get relief from our two, wonderful
veterinarians here in townJeff Judkins
of AnimalKind and Brad Frank of
Jacksonville Vet Clinic. Butof course,
this all happened on Saturday, so on
Sunday morning, my dad drove me to
the Urgent Care center for a thorough
exam. With homeopathic meds and
antibiotics, I was better the next day
thank goodness!
Well, heres wishing you and your
canine buddies lots of fun and good times
this Summer season in our Small Town
with Big Atmosphere!

amily gardening reaps a host of benefits,

but the bottom line is that its a lot of fun.
Youre getting outside, spending family time
together and creating memories,
working towards common goals,
and learning communication,
responsibility, patience, and the
cycle of life firsthand. Family
gardening not only teaches your
kids, but it also teaches you how to
effectively work together with your
kids. Sound like experiences you
want to enjoy as a family?
And oh yeah, you get a lot of fresh,
healthy produce that your kids are
more likely to eat. When your family
works together to make a garden, you
are enjoying your own clean fruits,
vegetables, and herbs that taste better
than what youd find at the market.
Lets start by thinking about
the phrase garden work, which
is why a lot of children shy away
from helping mom and dad plant, pull weeds, water,
and care for the garden. Yes, gardening requires work
and dedication, but once you are actively involved,
that work feels more like satisfaction, accomplishment,
and success. So how about calling it garden fun or
garden time or something more enjoyable?
Another way to think of family gardening is that its
more than just a garden you are creating. You are also
making a pleasant environment for grandma to sit and
enjoy the outdoors. You are beautifying an area that was
once just a dog run or sandbox. You are creating a living,
breathing, producing organism in your own yard. You
are facilitating food production at your home.
Here are a few tips to consider:
Give kids their own garden beds, rows, or sections to
be responsible for. Each person in the family needs their
own spot, whether its a raised bed, container or ground

plot. For younger kids, keep their section small so they
dont become overwhelmed.
Teach throughout the process. You likely
have a lot of gardening knowledge and tips
you can pass onto your kids, and never miss
an opportunity to teach and guide them
through the process. Children learn quickly
when they can experience the topic firsthand
through seeing, hearing, and doing, and this
is your opportunity to teach away. Make
sure they take responsibility with their own
garden tasks after you have shown them
how to do them.
Have fun decorating the garden. As
discussed, gardening isnt all about work,
so why not have some fun with decorating
your garden? Paint colorful garden stakes or
stones to identify plants, add grazing balls or
pinwheels, make a fairy house, or anything
else to personalize and brighten up your
garden. Kids love craft projects, and there
are lots of opportunities to spruce up your
garden and put your kids creative stamp on it.
In creating and maintaining a family garden, youll
enjoy a long list of character and family-building benefits
along the way. But above all, remember to have fun!

In a related matter, Council agreed to fund newlymandated accident insurance policy expenses for
the Boosters Club, Friends of the Cemetery, Historic
Jacksonville, Inc., and the Jacksonville Woodlands
Association. The move will cost the city $300/year
per group that contributes at least 1000 service hours.

Council agreed that the cost/benefit to the city makes
economic sense since the work provided by these
volunteer groups far outweighs the minimal policy cost.
