Donna Briggs.
In the early morning hours of June 14, the tea kettle
locomotive chugged home to Jacksonville and is now on
permanent display on tracks where it ran from 18911925. Please read more about this 10-ton piece of history in
my article on page 5. Thanks to Mel and Brooke Ashland,
who are unquestionably the towns leading historic
preservationists, this magnificent piece of history is home
where it belongs. Bringing the locomotive home required
vision and leadership, and above all, love for Jacksonville.
On that same day, June 14, I also had the pleasure
of attending the grand opening celebration of Britt

Id need a full page to properly thank Britt Festivals
CEO Donna Briggs for all shes done to breathe new
life into Britt Hill. Today, the venue is truly world-class,
thanks to a $1.5 million facelift she oversaw. The yearlong-plus project included the addition of a new grand

World of Wine Festival

a Lifesaver
he Southern Oregon World of

Wine Festival is the premier wine
event from Roseburg to Ashland,
and now it is also the premier fundraising
event in support of local medical care at
Asante. This year, funds raised during
World of Winewhich runs from August
19 to 23will go to Childrens Miracle
Network and other healthcare programs
supported by Asante Foundation. The
funds raised will be used to improve
services at Asante.
This is a partnership between two strong
regional entitiesthe Southern Oregon
Wine Industry and Asante Foundation,
said Floyd Harmon, executive director of
the Asante Foundation.
Harmon added that the goal is to
build a destination wine event that
will celebrate the regions awardwinning wine industry and highlight
the hospitality,
natural beautiful
and abundance
of outdoor and
cultural activities
in Southern
Oregon. And,
this will benefit
childrens
health and
other important
healthcare
programs at
Asante. The
partners have
committed to
developing this
into the regions premier wine event over
the next five to 10 years, he said.
From its beginnings in 1954 when
community leaders combined their
resources to build Rogue Valley Memorial
Hospital, the Asante mission has been
the same: provide the best in medical
care locally, funded by local dollars and
operated by local leadership. Today,
Asante has grown to three hospitals
and has been recognized as a 15-Top
Health System in the country. Without
the ongoing, generous support of the
community, it may not have been possible.
What does that support really do?
Consider this. The Asante Foundation
received donations totaling $2.5 million
to bring the best in radiation therapy
known as TomoTherapyto the Rogue
Valley in 2010. To raise those dollars,
Asante would have needed to provide
over $250 million in patient care.
That TomoTherapy has saved lives. Take
Luis Aguirre, a retired international sales
and marketing manager from Jacksonville
who developed prostate cancer.

I was just devastated, he says.
Luis was a member of the Asante
Foundation Board of Directors. In an ironic
twist of fate, one of the people responsible
for bringing this life-saving treatment to
Asante Rogue Regional was one of its first
patients and today he is cancer free.
It was funds raised by the Asante
Foundation and Childrens Miracle
Network donors that paid for the $2.5
million expansion of the neonatal
intensive care unit. Often over capacity,
the unit was in danger of not meeting the
needs of the region.
Katie Cascamo was in Klamath Falls
when her placenta began to separate
prematurely. Thankfully, the Asante
Rogue Regional NICU was just a short
helicopter trip away. Today, Katie and her
son, Giovanni, are doing well. Without
this NICU right here in Medford, we

might not be here today, Katie says.
The Asante Foundation has raised
funds from the community for many
other recent projects including the
remodel of the Cheney Family Placea
beautiful home where patients and
families from out of town may stay
when they cannot afford other lodgings,
a new respite room for patients in the
Behavioral Health Unit of Asante Rogue
Regional, a new NICU transport unit,
and ongoing support of a fund to provide
mammography for low income women in
Jackson and Josephine counties.
That is why the Asante Foundation is
thankful to everyone that the Southern
Oregon Wine Industry has partnered to
help raise funds for healthcare through
the World of Wine event. Everyone who
enjoys World of Wine will also be helping
Asante patients and their families.

"Tea Kettle" Engine Returns Home to Jacksonville by Whitman Parker
10-ton piece of Jacksonville history came

rolling home on Saturday, June 14, when the
Rogue River Valley Rail Road Locomotive #1
returned to town on a flatbed transport truck. Mel and
Brooke Ashland, owners of the Bigham Knoll campus,
facilitated the purchase of the engine by the Jacksonville
Heritage Society, a local preservationist nonprofit
organization. The Engine is known as the Tea Kettle,
and is a classic steam engine locomotive, whose whistle
is reminiscent of a spouting kettle. Most recently, the
engine was owned by a private individual and housed
in the Fillmore, California Train Park. Upon its arrival,
the steam engine was lifted by crane and placed on
rail tracks in the original right of way on which it first
chugged into town on January 16, 1891. By mid-day,
she was resting on her tracks, as well wishers cheered
at her official re christening. The train will become a
permanent visitor attraction located on the lower field
of the Bigham Knoll Campus, below the Historic School
House. Those who attended Oregons 150th Celebration
in 2009 will recall seeing Engine #1 in the California
Street parade and on display at the Bigham Knoll
Campus where all were thrilled by the sound of the
engineer blowing the steam-powered whistle!
Engine #1 is the original steam engine that ran from
Jacksonville to Medford on a 5-mile long, single-rail
track, a significant aspect in western US railroad history.
The rail line connected Jacksonville to Medford, hooking
into the original Oregon & California/ Southern Pacific
rail lines. Today, one can see and walk on the original
rail tracks that date back to 1891, running in front of the
Visitors Center, on "C Street and other locations. The

Visitors Center was the original Train Depot.
Engine #1, built in 1890, was the original engine used
by the Rogue River Valley Rail Road (RRVRR) that
operated various forms of passenger and freight service
between Jacksonville and Medford from 1891 until the
railroads dissolution in 1925. In those three decades,
several forms of locomotion were used to propel freight
and passenger engines, including wood/steam, coal/
steam and electricity.
In the 1890s, freight hauled from Jacksonville to
Medford included gravel mined from a quarry two miles
west of town, along with bricks from a local brickyard
and kiln, timber from area forests, and locally-grown
crops and livestock. The Tea Kettle also carried the US
Mail between towns. The Ashlands speculate that due
to the Germanic commercial influence in Jacksonville,
and the fact that five breweries existed in town, that
Jacksonville also shipped locally-made beer to Medford.
Although hopes had been high for it to serve multiple
purposes, the little Porter steam engine had been
designed to run on flat groundbut the slight 3% incline
from Medford to Jacksonville and other factors proved
too difficult and costly for it to run the route as hoped.
Consequently, Engine #1 was relegated to passengeronly status, pulling a single Pullman passenger car and
shared the track with heavier-duty locomotives capable
of handling the freight loads. Like the full-scale passenger
service the RRVRR founders envisioned, freight service
never fully-developed as hoped-for, either. Several factors
contributed to the demise of the RRVRR, not the least
of which was the advent of passenger automobiles and

commercial trucking operations.
Engine #1 was welcomed home after a most-interesting
post-Jacksonville journey. In 1895, the Tea Kettle
was sold to the Albany Street Railway, where it was
refashioned into a 0-4-2T scale locomotive. In 1905, it
changed hands again to Skelly Lumber Company and
transformed into a 0-4-0T before being badly burned
in a 1911 fire and abandoned. It was then salvaged by
J.H. Chambers Company and used until 1946. Later,
it was purchased by Helen O'Conner as a gift to her
husband and moved to their private track in Alta Loma,
California. At that point, the OConnors had the Tea
Kettle rebuilt from original Porter blueprints. For many
years after, Engine #1 was used in commercials and
movie pictures by Short Line Enterprises.

he combined
projects of
the City
of Jacksonvilles First Street sidewalk
project, the Booster Clubs lighting project
and the Britt Festivals Performance
Garden project resulted in over $2 million
dollars of improvements to the community.
These dollars were invested in Jacksonville
because collectively, we believe in the future
of our town and understand that we are all
interconnected and interdependentall for
one and one for all.
Over three years
in the making,
the new Britt
Performance
Garden is
everything that
we had hoped
it would be and
more. With the
assistance of
early funding
partners, and
ongoing support,
we have completed
the most extensive
upgrades to the Britt
Hill in over thirty
years. It is important
to note, that none of
the money came from
our operating fund.
These improvements
were made possible
through a successful
capital campaign that
included grants, paver
sales, anonymous
donations and in-kind
contributions.
The Performance
Garden and ancillary
improvements
including a new
concessions building,
new ADA pathways,
safety improvements, and restroom
upgrades has transformed the hill into an
inviting and user-friendly venue and has
added to the viability and vitality of our
already beautiful setting.
We recently announced an impressive
program schedule of 12 different events,
including 7 that are free to the public.

At 1:00 am on Saturday, June 21,
Jacksonville Police Officer Bill Lupton
spotted a red glow in the sky near the
Bigham Knoll Campus. Within minutes,
he was on-scene at 630 Cardwell Court,
where he found portions of the deck,
fence and home engulfed in flames and
smoke. Lupton immediately awakened
the family of four, most-likely saving
their lives, before helping retrieve some
personal property. Minutes later, an
engine with Firefighters Derek Matchett
and Justin Zigenis from Jacksonville Fire
rolled-up and began working the house
fire and protecting nearby structures.
Due to the closeness of other homes
in the tight cul-de-sac and intensity of
the raging fire, Jacksonville Firefighters
immediately requested backup and
were then joined by three more fire
companies, Jacksonville CERT and the
Red Cross. Under the command of JV
Fire Chief Devin Hull, 7 Companies
with 22+ firemen fought the stubborn fire
for three hours involving the Historic
1860 Residence. At press time, the
cause of the fire is under investigation.
Jacksonville Review Publisher Whit Parker,
who was on-scene, took video and
photos, which are available for viewing

Rogue Valley Farm to School is once
again holding their popular summer
camps at Hanley this year. Children can
experience life on the farm, with activities
ranging from collecting
eggs and feeding
goats to making butter
and harvesting fresh
vegetables. Each day of
the camp involves the
children learning about
the cycles of the earth
and where food comes
from, but also working
together to prepare their own shared
meal. The cob oven pizzas are a particular
favorite with the kids. From July 7-11
children aged 7-9 are welcome, and from
July 21-25 camp is ages 10-12. Camp runs
from 9:00am-1:00pm each day and cost
$185/child. Registration is through the

at 5:00pm, with dinner available from
The Farm Kitchen and music from 6:008:30 pm. Standing Stone Brewery will be
providing beer and a selection of local wines
will also be for sale. Music nights are great
evenings for young and old, with plenty of
space for the kids to roam while the grownups relax, sip their wine or beer, and enjoy
the music on a fine summer evening.
For those looking for a more in-depth
taste of the farm, Origins: A Discovery

the farm. In addition to
the sumptuous meal,
diners will also be
able to view artifacts from the Southern
Oregon Historical Society collection
and hear a presentation on an aspect of
Southern Oregon history. For the foodie,
the history buff, or person who wants a
deeper connection with the place they
live, this dinner is not-to-be -missed.
Tickets are $50 for SOHS member and $65

Up Close and Personal with Local Artist,

Cammy Davis
Sixteenth in a series of artist profiles by Randall Grealish
any people who grow-up

in small towns long for
the chance to escape to the
promise of the big city, only to return
later to the comforts of small town life.
Small towns and big towns alike often
have some sort of rivalry with their
neighboring citiesthe Rogue Valley
is no different when it comes to cross
town rivalries. Sure, this can be great for
sports teams but in the art community,
is it really necessary? Jacksonvilles very
own Cammy Davis
has set-out to bring
the Rogue Valleys art
communities together,
saying, theres so
much to offer in the
way of art, wine,
restaurants, retailers,
OSF, Britt and the vast
array of galleries
theres great potential
for the many art
communities to work
as one to build a
strong art mecca right
here in the Valley.
The desire to bring artists together has
been brewing since Cammys move here
a few years ago. After getting involved
in the local art scene, she couldnt help
but feel it needed a little something
more. At that time, the word edgy
kept finding its way into her thoughts,
which prompted an art show that would
become, Edgy in October. The idea
was to pair local businesses with artists
to create an event that encompassed all
the towns in the area and was interesting
enough to bring people from larger
surrounding cities such as Portland,
Seattle and San Fransico. Cammy
explained, I wanted to see edgier, more
thought-provoking art I wanted to create
interest from tourists when they heard

about the event, and felt it should be an
empowering, collaborative event, as well.
This year Edgy is back and will
coincide with the Downtown Medford
Art & Sound Festival, for which Cammy
is serving as Art Director. Shell also
be actively involved with her own
collaborative show with photographer
Jon Vait called, Connection. Its focus
is on couples and what makes their
relationships work and in some cases,
not work so well. The goal is to have the
viewers walk away questioning their
own relationships and think about what
they can do differently and about what
theyre getting right.
When learning about Cammys past,
one can see she gets her tenacity from her
mother, a former #1 ranked Enduro racer
who would proudly wear a ponytail to
ensure, the boys knew it was a woman
beating them. Cammys childhood
was spent reading and creating, rather
than in front of a television screen. Life
was fun as a kid, we were poor, but
had all the tools of a creative life. Dad
had a workshop with every carpentry
tool available and
mom sewed. Cammy
continues, If I wanted
something, I figuredout how to make it. I
never thought of doing
anything different
than making things
myself. Her self-reliant
attitude remains to
this day evidenced by
her comment, When I
start a painting, I start
by building the panel.
It just doesnt feel like
something Ive created unless Ive made
the whole thing myself.
As Cammy pursued each new challenge
and creative adventure, she promised
herself to have a no fear attitude, which
led her to approach KSKQ 89.5 with the
idea of hosting a radio show to promote
the local art scene. She got the green
light so you can now catch her show on
the first and third Fridays of the month
from 1:00-2:00pm. This is a great chance
to get updated on art and other events
happening around town and to listen-in
on Cammy as she interviews local artists.

Pioneer Profiles: PETER BRITT Part 2

Father of Southern Oregons Orchard, Wine
and Horticulture Industries
Jo Heim
by Carolyn Kingsnorth
Cell: 541-944-8353
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.
joh@johnlscott.com
n June, Pioneer Profiles

highlighted Peter Britts renown
as photographer, artist, and
documenter of pioneer life in Southern
Oregon. However, Britt was also an avid
gardener and is considered to be the
father of Southern Oregons commercial
orchard, wine, and ornamental
horticulture industries. Britt Park, now the
Britt Festival grounds
and the City-owned
lower Britt Gardens, was
the focal point of many
of these efforts.
When Britt arrived in
Jacksonville in the fall of
1852, he camped on the
site now known as Britt
Hill, filed a donation
land claim, and built
a small log cabin with
a magnificent view.
Apparently Britt soon
set about cultivating a
garden on his property,
and by 1854 had planted
his first fruit tree and
grape vines. Britt had
been reared in the grape
districts of Switzerland,
and his travels in
France had added to his
knowledge of the grape
industry. Noting the
vigor of the wild grape
vines about here, he
determined to give tame
grapes a trial, a 1920
Jacksonville Post article
reported.
Family legend has
it that Britt acquired
his initial root stock
from an Italian peddler
from California. When he returned to
his photography after his years of mule
skinning, he established a vineyard and
planted orchards of pears and peaches to
supplement his income. By 1861 he had
developed a 20-acre commercial orchard
and expansive grape vineyards on a
property he had purchased about a mile
from Jacksonville.
Britts initial vines were Mission grapes,
but by the 1870s he had experimented
with over 200 varieties of American and
European grapes, and furnished vines
for every vineyard in Rogue River Valley.
One of his experimental varietals may
well have been pinot noir, and perhaps
Jacksonville and not the Willamette Valley
is the Oregon birthplace of the states
famed wine.
However, Britt may not have sold pinot
noir commercially. His records show that
he made muscatel and zinfandel wines, as
well as a popular claret which he marketed
under his Valley View Vineyard label.
By 1880 he was producing 1,000 to 3,000
gallons of wine per year, eventually filling
orders from as far away as Wyoming.
Britt also produced and sold peaches,
apples and pears. He was acquainted
with knowledgeable horticulturalists
throughout the country and stayed
well-informed in the latest cultivation
methods. He raised bees to improve
pollination, and then sold the honey. He
irrigated his property as early as 1855,
installing an innovative irrigation system

fed by a mile-long ditch and a system of
underground pipes. He used smudging
techniques to fight frost.
Beginning in 1859, he recorded weather
observations in his personal diary,
and when an official weather service
was established within the Army Signal
Core in 1870, Britt served as a volunteer
civilian observer. Given
Britts vast knowledge
and experience, local
agriculturists frequently
sought his advice as they
established their own
commercial fruit crops.
Britts interest in
horticulture also
extended to exotic
plants. As early as 1859,
he began keeping a
list of plant specimens
he would like to grow
and surrounded his
home with ornamental
shrubs, exotic trees,
and unusual botanical
specimens. What
started as utilitarian
plantings of pear and
apple trees, grapes and
vegetables, evolved
into lavish Victorian
gardens incorporating
texture variation,
unusual plantings,
and tropical and Asian
influences.
In the nearMediterranean
climate of the Rogue
River Valley, Britt
successfully cultivated
lilies, ferns, magnolias,
rhododendron, jasmine, forsythia,
wisteria, roses, bamboo, palms, yucca,
papyrus, gingko, figs, persimmons, and
his famous banana tree. His orchards
represented a selection of the best fruit
trees that could be grown in the West
and were designed to provide sequential
harvesting. His gardens also boasted
the oldest bay laurels in the state. They
furnished the bay leaf seasoning for
Jacksonvilles pioneer cooks.
Britts plantings eventually grew into
extensive botanical gardens boasting
nearly 300 varieties of cultivated
plants, many acquired by mail order.
Britt documented his plantings in his
photographic work, and Britt Park was
featured in northwest promotional
publications in the late 1800s. The gardens
were a regional attraction a quarter of
a century before Ashlands Lithia Park
was established, and by the turn of the
century, Britts gardens had become a
Pacific Northwest tourist destination.
Today, the lower gardens have been
restored by the City of Jacksonville,
the Jacksonville Boosters Club, and the
Jacksonville Garden Club. The upper
gardens are home to the Britt Music
Festival, and both upper and lower
gardens provide key trailheads to the
18+ miles of Jacksonville Woodlands
hiking trails. Britt Park is again a popular
destination for residents and visitors alike.

that is welcoming to appropriate

businesses and to foster a thriving
economy in which the businesses can be
successful. We also recognize that tourism
is a significant portion of our economy,
so we want to work toward Jacksonville
having higher recognition and a positive
visitor experience. This also means we
want to ensure that we are a preferred
location for businesses and visitors yearround.
Setting objectives creates a framework
that will help fulfill the mission and
achieve the vision. To that end, we
have outlined the following 4 strategic
objectives:.
1. Provide valued resources for new and
existing businesses.
2. Develop and promote Historic
Jacksonville as a year-round,
preferred visitor destination.
3. Be the liaison of the Jacksonville
business community with the City
of Jacksonville, the State of Oregon
and other political and non-political
entities.
4. Create a positive relationship
between the residents and business
community.
All of our projects and initiatives
should help achieve one or more of these
objectives. If an opportunity or idea
doesnt help achieve an objective, then
we know it isnt right for us. The Board is
taking the right steps to ensure that The
Chamber continues growing as a positive
business organization, working for the
betterment of Jacksonville and thanks the
community for supporting our members.

Serving in the leadership role is important
as the Chamber should be the primary
point of contact and representation for the
business community to the community

the organization is about even when it is

throughout the state, deer die because
they have been fed the wrong food by
well-intentioned people. The cause is
simple: deer have very complex digestive
tracts that require certain levels of
proteins, fats, carbohydrates and the
proper rumen bacteria to break down and
digest forage. Their diet requirements
change with the seasons and are best
met by native forage. An animal that has
been foraging naturally may not have the
proper bacteria to digest high protein food
like grains, including corn. Deliberate
feeding may inhibit digestion and lead to
secondary infections and cause an animal
to starve or die from infection.
If thats not enough to convince you,
feeding deer invites other problems:
It concentrates them, which leads to
the easier spread of disease (Chronic
Wasting Disease) and parasites and
easier take by predators.
Feeding deer attracts their natural
predators like cougars and coyotes to
areas of human activity.

Once deer associate people with

giving them food, they come to
expect it. Feeding will invite more
deer to your property and encourage
them to stay.
Feeding can cause deer and elk to
become habituated to humans and
aggressive towards them.
Concentrating deer in humansettled areas can lead to an increase
in vehicle collisions and conflicts
between wildlife and pets.
Concentrating deer can hurt habitat
by encouraging excessive grazing.

n spite of the oft repeated news that

the Great Recession ended in 2009,
I am going to provide you with
a number of very clear and disturbing
statistics within this article that make it
abundantly clear our community is still
struggling to break free from its lingering
grip. In this first of a two part series we
are going to work through some of the
symptoms that indicate the serious need
for change in our regional economy. In
next months article, well get into greater
detail about what we can do to make
things considerably better.
First, a bit of good news. According to
various reports by the Milken Institute,
Medfords Metropolitan Statistical Area
(MSA, which includes all of Jackson
County) has been ranked among the top
179 Best Performing Small Cities for a
number of years. Now, the not so good
news is that we have been free falling
on this list during the past 10 years. In
2004 we were ranked #12. By 2014 we
plummeted to #114. We are ranked #160
for job growth and #166 for wage growth.
As a matter of fact, out of the 335 largest
counties in the U.S., Jackson County ranks
#311 for wages
(about a $36k
annual average)
which puts us in
the bottom 7% for
the lowest wages in
the U.S.
Seven out of
eight MSAs in
the U.S. that are
similar in size to
ours have lower
unemployment rates than Medford. We
are the only metropolitan market out of
six in Oregon that experienced zero job
growth over the past 12 months. We have
the second highest student homeless
rate in Oregon. Our unemployment
rates, childhood poverty rates, etc. are
considerably higher than U.S. averages.
56% of the students in the Medford School
District now qualify for food assistance.
As sobering as all of these statistics
should be, the numbers for Grants Pass
and Josephine County paint an even
more ominous picture. There are multigenerational impacts of our young people
moving to and building the economies of
other communities. There are also multigenerational impacts of the mindset of
scarcity and entitlement perpetuating from
one generation to the next. We are fortunate
there is a great culture of caring that stands
in the gap to help make our community
a great place to live, raise a family and do
business, but far too much of this culture is
borne of economic necessity.
If you take a look at the individuals
and businesses that advertise in the
yellow pages and those that belong to
our Chamber and Rotary organizations,
you will find the vast majority of these
businesses are dependent upon what
happens in our local economy. Most
every community in the world that has
a robust economy has at its foundation a
strong traded-sector group of businesses
that create a product that is shipped out
of the region to bring dollars back into
the region. Few and far between are the
traded-sector businesses that engage with
the aforementioned organizations, yet they
are critically important to the strength of
our regional economy. With the decline
in the timber industry, the Rogue Valley
and many of the rural communities in the
Pacific Northwest lost their foundation
of traded-sector family wage jobs.
Subsequently our primary job growth has
been in substandard wage jobs.
Our local economy struggles because
the average citizen working for the
median wage doesnt have enough
expendable cash in their pocket to
support our local retailers, restaurants,
wineries, service sectors, etc. One of the
most practical ways to create a stronger,
more resilient and sustainable economic
multiplier will be by creating a stronger,

more resilient and sustainable foundation
of family wage jobs. Although we have a
very limited amount of industrial land in
our region, most of it sits vacant decade
after decade because of our lack of a
comprehensive strategic plan to populate
it. Also the payer mix in our region
(medical jargon that identifies the private
sector insurance contribution for health
care costs) is among the most anemic
in the U.S. Better wages usually come
with better benefits. So, creating a more
robust economy will also benefit regional
healthcare providers.
We have been on a continual downward
spiral of economic and social degradation
for so long that far too many of our fellow
citizens have acclimated to a mindset of
scarcity, entitlement, or both, none of
which is sustainable. Far too many of
our most motivated and educated young
people leave the valley because of the lack
of opportunity. In 1980 Jackson County
had two births for every death. Only 30
years later our birth rate has declined to
the point where it is almost equivalent to
our death rate. These statistics tell us we
are not replacing
our younger
generation, which
is our future
workforce and
the fertile ground
where we should
be growing our
next generation
of community
leaders.
Our continual
uptick in population provides a false
sense of security for those who are aware
of this phenomenon. Our population
growth is fueled in large part by what
I call The Equity Refugee Pipeline
flowing into southern Oregon, primarily
from California. The majority of our
inward migration is made up of retirees.
In 2002, the year that our family moved
to southern Oregon, Medfords MSA was
ranked the #1 least affordable housing
market in the U.S. (in terms of the
disparity between our low wages and our
high real estate values).
In California and across many areas
of the U.S., housing starts are down
and home equities are up. We are only
a few years into the Silver Tsunami of
retiring baby-boomers and our region
is continually ranked among the top
for desirable retirement destinations.
Ashland had to close two of their
elementary schools, in part because
young families cannot afford to live
there. If we do not reverse course, this is
simply a preview of coming attractions
for what will happen in the greater Rogue
Valley. If we do not develop and execute
an effective strategy to raise our stagnate
median wages, we are going to see this
lack of affordable housing gap continue
to grow, possibly to the largest gap in the
U.S. once again.
So, what can we do to slow down
the brain-drain and keep our talented,
motivated, educated and technology
oriented young people here (and bring
back some of those who would like
to return)? Im glad you asked! Let
me give you a preview. In the same
report referenced earlier (Top 179 Best
Performing Small Cities) where we are
bringing up the rear in far too many critical
categories, we are ranked #12 for our
5-year high tech GDP growth! As a matter
of fact, we are recognized for having 20 of
22 sectors of technology, 9 of which are at
density levels equivalent to and 7 actually
exceeding national density averages.
You might ask, how many high tech
companies are represented in our two
county region and how many actual jobs
exist? And, what sort of wages do they
pay in comparison to our low median
wage rates? And, what exactly can we

On Money and More: Investing Lessons from

Jacksonville's History
Pioneer Village invites you to come to our
by Erich & Matt Patten, Cutler Investment Group
elcome to Jacksonville!
As summer arrives in
beautiful Southern Oregon,
Jacksonville benefits from the influx
of tourists that are here to enjoy our
wonderful town. Jacksonville makes
visitors feel like they are
visiting a bygone era, and
this unique experience is
what many of us residents
value most about our
home town. While it is
easy to be nostalgic, the
mid-19th century was
actually a wild and wooly
time. The Gold Rush is
memorialized today by the architecture
on California Street, and the pictures
taken by Peter Britt. But, the Gold Rush
era and Jacksonvilles early history was
all about one thing: money! As investment
advisors, we look to history to learn
lessons that can guide our decisions about
the future. What lessons can be learned
from Jacksonvilles past?
The Gold Rush is a classic example of
the cycle of boom and busts. We have
experienced our own boom and bust
cycles in recent years, when both the
technology and the real estate bubbles
burst. Gold prices have also had periods
of speculation, followed by periods of
decline. Jacksonville is the town it is
today because of speculators looking
to make it big in the California gold
rush. Some observers have argued that
this cycle has a positive contribution to
economic growth, as the spending during
a boom period allows for a higher level
of investment than would otherwise
be justified. The early development of
Jacksonville certainly benefited from the
development that speculators hoping to
make it big brought to town.
With the rise in stock prices from the
March 2009 market lows, many investors
are concerned with whether today we are
on the precipice of a bust. For investments
advisors, predicting when the next
contraction will happen has proven to be
extraordinarily difficult. But, protecting
your portfolio from this possibility can
be done at any time. How? Look for
fundamental value and diversify.
Fundamental value was something
Jacksonvilles early settlers understood.

Gold was currency, and if you could get
your hands on it, you knew what it was
worth. Many of todays investments are
more esoteric. What is a stock worth?
The answer is always, what someone is
willing to pay for
it. But, certain
characteristics,
such as dividends,
provide greater
assurance to an
investor of what
that stock may be
worth. Speculative
stocks may have
a place in a diversified portfolio, but
the foundation of a retirement portfolio
should be equities with more transparent
value such as cash flows and earnings.
Diversification into less correlated asset
classes, such as bonds, is another way to
gain protection from a potential bust.
Investors often buy bonds when equities
sell-off, and therefore these provide a
potential cushion from a sharp drop in
the equity markets. We are often asked
if bonds are a good investment, with
current rates near historic lows. The
answer for todays investors is that bonds
remain an important part of an asset
allocation, but investors should carefully
consider their exposure to rising rates
within their bond portfolio.
As you walk around Jacksonville this
summer, think about the investment
frenzy that led the early speculators to
settle here. It must have been quite a scene
to witness. Would you have invested in
the gold rush?

Jacksonville Review
Tony's Dam Column #5:

Headed Toward a Dam Breach!
by Tony Hess
This is the fifth in a series of articles following the process to breach the Jacksonville dam
and reservoir in order to comply with state and federal regulations. The articles will continue
through the construction phase.
he final engineering study

leading to the design plans for
the breaching of the dam is now
being completed. All of the work will be
compiled into the Joint Fill and Removal
Permit and submitted about July 1 to the
various government agencies. The last
engineering analysis to be done will be
the Slope Stability Design. This part of the
work probably has the biggest impact on
the project. One of the prime requirements
in breaching the dam is to ensure that
sediment stays in-place after the new creek
channel is dug out of the existing sediment
bed behind the dam. Those sediments must
stay in place in a newly-built embankment
and cannot slump or slide into the stream
bed and be carried downstream in a big
mud flow. Therefore, the first priority
is to be sure that the stream does not
undercut the embankment. Secondly, the
slope angle needs to be designed so the
excavated sediments stay in-place naturally,
commonly called the angle of repose. The
effect of water penetrating the sediments,
increasing the weight and causing slippage
cracks to form must be accounted-for in
the design. Technically speaking, a slope
stability analysis is performed to assess the

safe design of a human-made or natural
slopes (e.g. embankments, road cuts,
open-pit mining, excavations, landfills
etc.) and the equilibrium conditions.
Slope stability is the resistance of inclined
surface-to-failure by sliding or collapsing.
The main objectives of a slope stability
analysis are investigations of potential
failure mechanisms, determination of the
slope sensitivity to different triggering
mechanisms, designing of optimal slopes
with regard to safety, reliability and
economics. Successful design of the slope
requires geological information and site
characteristics, e.g. properties of soil/rock
mass, slope geometry, and groundwater
conditions. The presence of water has
a detrimental effect on slope stability.
The flatter the slope, the greater amount
of sediment to be moved to build the
embankment, and the more the project will
cost. For this reason, the upcoming slope
stability analysis determines the safety,
and to a great extent the cost. It is very
important to take the time to get it right,
and I will report the results in my next
installment of this series.

or drop-in at 155 n. 3rd street
in historic downtown jacksonville.
In the May, 2014 primary election,

city voter turnout was 64.65%. Based
on the abstract record, heres how the
city voted on three major ballot issues:
15-119 GMO: Yes- 67.86% No- 32.14%,
15-121 Agricultural Extension District:
Yes- 79.17% No- 20.73%, 15-122 Library
District: Yes- 55.11% No- 44.89%.
On GMO, proponents said it garnered
contagious-like support by voters who were
not only opposed to corporate influence by
chemical companies, but by those genuinely
motivated by farming and health concerns.
On the library measure, campaign
director Cathy Shaw noted that it
passed because smaller communities
turned-out to vote and voters liked
the idea of a special tax district that
permanently moved library dollars
away from county control.
Jacksonville City Council, June 3
& June 17 Council approved Police
Chief Towes request to hire Officer Lee

McColly to fill the vacant position left
when Officer Mike Jones transferred to
the Central Point Department. McColly,
who brings 20 years of police experience,
will officially report for duty on July 1. He
was sworn-in at the 6/17 meeting.
On the fiscal front, Council approved a
$9.7M 2014-2015 city budget and a $1.4M
Urban Renewal budget in addition to
approving increases in the water base
rate and fire safety surcharge fee. The
$26 monthly fire department fee will
increase by $1 in FY 2014-15 to $27/
month and then to $29/month in FY
2015 and $31/month in 2016. Water base
rates will increase $12/month per unit
with an additional $1 per unit increase

per year over the next three years. Water
funding is needed to update aging pump
stations, emergency power sources, line
replacement and construct a new 750,000
gallon storage tank.
Council continued its discussion on
the fate of the Forest Park Park Ranger
program from its May 20 meeting. Due
to changes in the citys liability insurance
policy, the park ranger program will
now be managed under the guidance of
the Jacksonville Woodlands Association
which has the necessary insurance
structure in-place. However, Council
agreed with a recommendation from
Police Chief Towe and stripped the
title Ranger, since Ranger implies
a law enforcement capacity. Council is
expected to approve a new title when
the Jacksonville Woodlands Association
suggests one, such as Park Host or Park
Steward. Over the last year, city staff has
been working with volunteer organizations
to bring them into compliance with new
city insurance regulations and policies
to strengthen the citys risk management
exposure and limit potential claims due
to the large number of volunteer groups
actively working in town.
Council approved a new management
agreement for the Chamber of Commerce
to operate the Visitors Information Center.
The new contract no longer specifies that
the Chamber must operate the VIC in
the train depot building, opening the
possibility that a new site may be in the
Chambers future, including one in other
city-owned properties.
At press-time, Mayor Becker issued a proclamation, effectively granting

a 60-day relief period for business owners in the historic core using
sandwich board signs - please see our website for an update on this

Julys feature film is Whos Minding the Store, a riotous comedy about a klutz who is
given one job after another in a department store, each one designed to make him fail.
It seems that the store-owners daughter is in love with this klutz and the hope is that
she would realize hes the wrong guy for her. Mother is played by Agnes Moorhead, a
sharp-tongued male-domineering type if there ever was one. John McGiver, always good
at playing dominated males, is the husband. Jill St. John plays the curvaceous daughter in
love with, of all people, Jerry Lewis, the klutz. This film is one of the brightest comedies
ever to come out of Hollywood, and is bound to lighten your day even if youre not a Jerry
Lewis fan. It screens on Friday, July 18th at 7:00pm at Old City Hall. Doors open at 6:30pm.

A Cup of Conversation
by Michael Kell
Earn This
emorial
Day
afternoon
a man driving down
Oregon Street suffered a cardiac arrest
then plowed into the face of GoodBean
Jacksonville but not before crushing table
and chairs just outside the entrance. The
one hundred fifty-five year old solid
brick pillar absorbed the car's massive
blow. Only by the grace of God was there
no one seated at the tables because life
today would look completely different
for many people in this small town. Over
emotion which rarely outlives the common

housefly. Life is so much more.
Once a year we celebrate a day of
memorial honoring our brave who gave
everything in service to this country.
We owe them far more than we can ever
pay. I wonder what they would say
to the question of how we can really
honor ultimate sacrifice. I think the
screenwriter of Saving Private Ryan got it
right when Tom Hanks last breath was
spent telling Matt Damon to earn this.
Contemporary Hollywood does have
its moments. Isnt life much more than
the minimum spent
covering our own
bases? Earn this must
mean the privilege
to live free, not the
right. It is a privilege
paid for by the
literal life-blood of
someone else.
We are all flesh and
blood Americans.
Let us live everyday
with joy, making the
conscious effort to
acknowledge great
blessings of life and
liberty, first endowed by the Creator and
sealed again and again through the blood
of our fallen. We do this by the act of
remembering. The nations first, middle
and last generations knew this but its
just not cool in an easy-freedom popculture. This virtue should never go
out of date because blessings taken for
granted take wings. If youre over 50,
you're probably nodding in agreement
because painful loss has already
visited your doorstep. Nothing lasts
forever except what is selflessly given.
Everything else is subject to change in
a literal heartbeat. If you don't believe
me just ask the fifty-four year old man
who had the massive coronary. Last we
heard he survived and thank Goodness
for that Be good not bitter.
the past twenty-four years Ive seen folks

sitting there thousands of times including
entire families with little ones joyfully
devouring cinnamon rolls and spilling hot
chocolate like evening bathwater out of a
tub. As a long-time merchant, Ive grown
used to unexpected phone calls which are
exclusively bad but that particular call
would have been too much for me.
The truth is, life is fragile. Every day
should be memorial, but it is not. Most of us
could agree on how much time is spilled
out upon the sidewalks of taking life for
granted. Only when somethings taken
away, do we understand its value. Health,
wealth, and youth are fickle lovers. They
always leave when we least expect and
leave us breathless when they go. Maybe
life is better lived preparing for them to
come and go? Joy is the only emotion
impervious to life-change but it takes

Judi's Secret Garden
n the 5+ years I
have done this
column, this
month's garden
is at the top of my favorites list! Judy
Hoevet and her husband Ken moved into
their home on Laurel Lane three years
ago, relocating for the weather and to be
closer to family. Although the house was
not what they thought they were looking
for, when Judy
walked into
the side and
back yard, she
knew they
were home.
Although
shade-covered
and shrub-
filled at the
time, she saw
the potential
for what has
become a
secret garden.
In thinking about
what affected me
so much about this
garden, it was an
interesting study. The
garden is absolutely
beautiful, and
also mesmerizing.
Ordinarily, I will
usually check over
the garden, sit down with the gardener
to do the interview, and then look more
in-depth. But I had a hard time getting
to the sit down portion of this one! I
kept getting pulled to the next spot, or
discovering something else Judy had
done and I was increasingly intrigued.
The more I looked, the more I loved.
What became obvious is that Judy had
plants next to each other or tucked where
you would not expect to find them, and
next to plants you weren't used to seeing
together. Nothing was as it should be.
Judi had lilies, sedum, phlox, hostas,
dianthus, barberries, penstemonsthe
list goes on and is long, but the symmetry
and flow was amazing!
In the beginning, the property was
shaded and had buried irrigation, but
slowly those problems have been worked
on. Landscaping shrubs were removed
or moved along with a couple of trees
removed. The remaining pink dogwood,
camellias, clematis, rhodies and lilies
became the starting point. Walkways lined
with day lilies were placed randomly, and
shade-tolerant David Austin roses were
added, perhaps next to clematis, or phlox
or lilies. All happy and never expected!
The property is a mere 25-feet-wide
along the side. A front, side gate takes
you into that garden with a pergola midwalkway creating a garden framework.
The walk meanders from the pergola
on through the rest of the garden. A
singular, beautiful and stately hydrangea
fills a Tuscan gray pot, while ground
cover flower beds beneath quietly offer

a pallet to the beauty of the lone piece.
One singular theme garden (her only)
is filled with whites and lavenders, with
a pink thrown in because it needed
it. At the far end of the walk, a subtle
short picket fence sections-off a small
shaded courtyard holding only a large,
red, potted hydrangea that umbrellas
gracefully over the surrounding circle.
Quiet, simple
and perfect.
When talking
to Judy, you
understand
how the garden
became what
it is. Each bed
has to have good
bones, she said,
adding, each
plant must be
happy in its
spot and give
the best bang for the
buck. Judy focuses
on texture, color, and
something goingon year-round. I
am an old-school
gardener...I think the
garden has to have
something happening
all the time. Judy
focuses on each and
every plant she places and each spot is
studied prior to placing anything. Her
first consideration is what will do well
in that spot, and then what texture and
color she wants. Random petunias are
even planted based on where a bit of sun
dabbles through a shade garden most
of the morning... simply tucked into one
small spot to take advantage of the light
right there. Very specific, very deliberate.
It seems silly to ask her why she
gardens, but her answer fits. I love
beauty, and it just makes my soul happy.
With her words, and by the results, you
know that when she says beauty, it is
coming from a deep, specific, and almost
soul-driven spot. I doubt that Judy has
ever planted something without truly
thinking through the color and beauty
of the plants' potential. She has to find
the spot in her garden to let it become
what it was meant to be. THAT is what I
discovered to be so unique to her garden
and why it is secret. Not just because it
is secluded, and serene, but because she
has captured the true secret of how a
garden becomes its best. Even her comment
about the favorite time in the garden had a
different perspective: Mid-morning, when
the plants are still happy from the cool of
the evening, which itself speaks volumes.
Thanks are not enough for this garden!

Meet Your FarmerLavender Fields Forever
by Linda Davis
estled on 5 beautiful acres in the Applegate

Valley is Lavender Fields Foreveryour place
to come pick and enjoy all that lavender has
to offer! And to meet the delightful owners,
John and Bonnie Rinaldi.
John and Bonnie have a rich background
in agriculture and land use. Johns degree
in horticulture led him (oddly enough after
specializing in drought-tolerant landscape
design) to become a land surveyor for over
25 years. Bonnie used her urban planning
degree to become a land use planner, and an
assistant County Manager and City Manager
in Henderson, Nevada. Both of the Rinaldis
have a love of land and its various uses.
A move from Las Vegas to Ashland
in 2006 allowed the
Rinaldis to better enjoy
the environment and
participate in activities
that support local
government and local
economy. John and
Bonnie have been active
on many local boards and
commissions including
Thrive, Ashland Planning
Commission and Ashland
Tree Commission.
When they were ready
to retire, they looked
for a location where they could be
part of a growing community. Their
original goal was to start a blueberry
farm where community members
could come and pick their own fruit.
However, after 3 years of looking
for the perfect location, they found
a beautiful property with good soil,
water rights from the Applegate River
and good access to Jacksonville and
Grants Pass. As John said, We let the
property talk to us. The property had
many deer, birds, gophers and moles.
John and Bonnie wanted a crop where they didnt have
to fight Mother Nature. Lavender is such a crop. It is a
perfect place to welcome people and share the bounties
that lavender has to offer. And the lavender plants attract
bees which is so beneficial to the environment.

Lavender Fields Forever has over 1,000 lavender
plants, all naturally-grown without fertilizers, chemicals
or pesticides.
There are over
400 varieties of
lavender. John and
Bonnie narrowed
these types
down by what
works best in the
Applegate climate;
the plant colors
(pink, white and
purple) and their
uses. The farm
has 7 varieties,
including English lavender (Royal
Purple and Miss Katherine), and
hybrids that are bred for different
qualities including culinary; crafts;
oil producers; and sachets. Initial
planting was done in 2011. Since it
takes two years for the lavender to
be ready, 2013 was the first season
for lavender production.
Lavender has many wonderful
properties and uses. Cooks use
culinary lavender with many foods
including cheese, chocolate, chicken,
crme brulee, martinis,
mojitos and more.
Lavender oil produces
a soothing, calming
effect and also has
antibacterial and antiseptic qualities. It even
helps repel pesky mosquitos!
Lavender Fields Forever opens to the public on
June 27th and is open throughout the summer
every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 9:00am
to 4:00pm. Everyone is welcome to come pick their
own bouquets, buy handcrafted lavender items
at the farm store, have a picnic, or reserve private
classes in essential oil distilling and/or crafting.
And, join John and Bonnie at the Lavender Festival July
12-14. Lavender Fields Forever is located at 375 Hamilton
Road in Jacksonville, online at www.lavenderfieldsforeveroregon.com, or by phone at 541-702-2250.

Love Your Landscape by Adam Haynes
Using Retaining Walls in Your Landscape
rdinarily, ones
reason for installing
a retaining wall is for
pure function, but in many cases,
retaining walls can add depth,
beauty and interest to a sloped or steeply-graded area.
There are many options when choosing materials for
a new retaining wall. The style, color, and texture are
all important but also keeping the wall
consistent with the style of your home
is an important consideration.
Installation can be very labor
intensive, with the length of the project
usually determined by the size of the
new wall and the material chosen.
Options for material are numerous
and include: natural stone, block,
block with veneer, stucco, free-staked
wall block, railroad ties, landscape
timbers, and large boulders.
Here in southern Oregon, natural stone retaining walls
are usually built out of moss rock or river cobble rock,
mainly because these materials are readily available. There
are other rock options, but they are not usually as available
as the options mentioned above. Both options offer a very
natural look and in the right situation, look great.
Block pillars and walls with a veneer finish have
become very popular and widely-used in new home
construction over the past 10 years. This finish really
works well when you can tie into the same veneer
used on the house. Recently, we designed and built a
wall around a pool using a veneer finish that tied into
the front entry way, with the same veneer used on the
fireplace chimney. The end result was a great continuity
between the pool area and the house. Stucco finishes on

retaining walls also makes for a very clean and modern
look, tying in well with stucco finished homes.
Another very popular retaining wall material is free
staking wall block. There are many new color choices,
sizes and textures now available. When installed to
specifications, these walls should last a lifetime.
The day of the rail road tie has come and gone, Im
glad to say! But back in the day,
ties where used for landscape
retaining walls more often than
one could imagine.
Large boulders are quite
effective for large amounts of
square footage that need to be
retained. The finished result of
these rock walls offers a very
natural look without much
uniformitywhich in the right
situation looks great and fits the landscape best.
If a retaining wall is constructed properly, it will
last a long time. If taking on a retaining wall project
yourself, make sure to do your research and construct
the wall to the proper specifications. There are too many
details to discuss here, but one of the most important
considerations is the hydrostatic pressure that builds
from the presence of water in the soil on the back side of
the wall. Water must have a good opportunity to drain,
so drainage consideration is of utmost importance if you
expect the wall to last a lifetime.

"Drought Season" Garden Tips
hile its always wise to

be water-conscious in the
garden, during periods of
drought its especially important to
conserve H2O. And while less water
may seem like a kiss of death to your
garden, with a few simple water
conservation strategies, your garden
may actually be healthier and more
productive than usual.
Essential to water conservation is
watering wisely. Timing is everything,
and ideally you will want to water
early in the morning to avoid evaporation. Evening
watering leaves free-standing moisture near the plants
which can promote diseases, and much of the water may
have drained out of the root zone before the plants wake
up and attempt to draw up vital moisture. You also need
to water deeply, and then refrain from watering again
until the top 1 of soil is dry.
Here are some more easy and important tips for
maintaining a healthy and productive garden during
times of drought.
Soil preparation is key to long-term garden success.
In improving the nutrient quality of the soil, botanists
have learned that beneficial soil organisms are vital in
delivering soil nutrients to plants. The beneficial microorganisms include soil fungi which help roots to seek out
and absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
Theres a symbiotic association in which the
myceliumthe vegetative part of a funguscolonizes
a plants root hairs, which results in enhanced water
absorption. The association only applies with flowering
and fruit-bearing plants, or angiosperms. This symbiotic
association is beneficial to both the fungus in the soil and
the root hairs as the size of the root system is expanded.
The result is an increase in the mass of the root system,
which enables the plant to take up a great deal more water
in the soil to help plants survive in drought periods.
Soil preparation also has to do with incorporating
organic matter to improve the soils tilth and texture.
Tilth refers to the soils ability to support plant and root
growth, and texture refers to the soils particle size. By
enhancing the soils tilth and texture, you are making
better air spaces and more particle surface that can hold
onto water as the upper layers of soil dry out.
Adding mulch on top of your garden bed prevents
evaporation of water from the soil. Plants are healthier
when they dont dry excessively between irrigations.
Mulching also reduces weather-induced stress to garden
plants by maintaining a more even soil temperature;
cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
Mulching prevents germination of weed seeds and will
also impede some existing weedsbut its best to put
mulch over an area free of weeds to start with. The use of
mulches results in garden plants with more robust root
systems because additional roots will

grow in the mulch around the plants.
Close crop gardening, also called
square foot gardening, is just like it
sounds: grow your produce close
together. This technique was created
by Native Americans who planted
corn, beans and squash alongside
each other. The benefits of close crop
gardening include using less water,
plus fewer weeds as plant leaves
shade the soil and smother weeds.
For close crop gardening, instead
of planting your garden in traditional rows, keep
plantings closer together in diamond or square patterns.
A good rule of thumb is to plant close enough together
that the leaves will touch once mature. You will find that
you also gain valuable garden space this wayperfect
for people with limited areas. If you dont have a garden
bed, close crop gardening can also be accomplished in
containers or pots.
In periods of high heat, shading your garden from
direct sunlight can minimize water loss. This can be
accomplished by adding a shade cloth, which come in a
variety of densities. Grange Co-op offers a shade cloth
blocking 60% of light, but shade cloths blocking as little
as 20% will also work. A free option is a white bed sheet
placed high enough above the garden to still allow some
sunlight to come through.
More garden plants die of overwatering than anything
else. When we see wilting plants, our first thought is that
they need water. However, the symptoms of drought
and overwatering are often the same: wilting. When we
overwater, we can kill microscopic root hairs which are
responsible for a plants growth and essentially its little
mouths for absorbing water.
Make more efficient use of the water you do use by
strategic plant placement in your garden. A good plan
is to create three zones. Locate heavy drinkers all
together, then those that survive with 7-10 days between
watering together, and finally all of the dry-loving plants
together. This makes it easier and more time-efficient for
you to efficiently water your zones.
For more gardening tips, you can also speak with a
Grange Co-op garden center associate for expert advice
on your exact needs, or visit grangecoop.com.

1934 and now celebrating its 80th anniversary, has grown

Speaking of Antiquing with
130 N. 4th St.,

Jacksonville
Margaret Barnes, Pickety Place Antiques

Hooked Rugs, an American Tradition
ug Hooking began in America

in the New England states as
a craft of poverty, a "country
craft," done out of sheer necessity
and done in isolation. While wealthy
homes had woven carpets from woolen
mills, poorer families were using every
available scrap of fiber and hooking them
into loosely-woven fabric
such as burlap. Burlap
was available for free as
it was reused from feed
sacks. Flour sacks were
also used, but made better
backing for quilts so the
looser weave fabrics were
preferred for hooking.
Hooks were contrived
to pull the thinly-cut strips
of wool through, making
small loops. Hooks could
be as simple as a bent nail
hammered into a piece of
wood, (a makeshift handle)
or tools that a blacksmith
could forge. These handles
worked quite wellin the
same manner a crochet hook was used.
Wool was the fabric of choice as it
was strong and long-lasting and readily
available from discarded military
uniforms. Flannel and worn cotton was
also used but had a shorter wear and was,
therefore, less desirable. Natural dyes
from food and plants such as berries,
walnuts, and onion skins were employed
to give color to the design.
The earliest rugs considered to be
"Primitive," have few colors (no more than
two or three) with a dark background.
Designs were simple, almost childlike, as
they were mostly hand-drawn, depicting
family life such as children playing,
cherished pets, flower gardens, farms,
ships and patriotic themes. Geometric
designs offered a myriad of designs as

quilt patterns and simple configurations
were also used.
In time, art superseded necessity and
floor rugs found their way to adorning
country homes in the way of table
runners, pillows, foot stools and were
proudly displayed on a hearth or wall as a
prized work of art.
Hooked rugs are now
considered to be a Folk
Art and are highly valued
by collectors. American
Hooked Rugs dated 100 to
200 years-old representing
a true "primitive" theme are
the most sought-after.
Nowadays, there are
many Hooked Rug Clubs
(Hookers), that meet
regularly to work on rugs
and share designs and
patterns. Today's choices
in designs range from the
Hookers own self-drawn
"primitive" pattern, to
commercially-sold patterns
printed on a backing with colors indicated
as in paint-by-number art work.
Your valued Hooked Rug should never
be vacuumed or washed in a washing
machine. Gently shake it and never use
a rug beater and use a damp cloth to dab
when necessary. To store it, roll it inside/
out and wrap in a cotton sheet and be
sure to protect it from direct sunlight to
avoid fading.
Come to Pickety Place Antiques here
in Jacksonville and see the many early
Hooked Rugs made in the 1920's. They
run the gamut of sizes and colors and
portray the desirable whimsy that
collectors seek today.

rom
September
to June, we
play the part.
We diligently go
through another school year. We make
sure the kids have shining new supplies,
presentable clothes, (unless you have
teenagers) and healthy snacks, (which is
more for us, because we all know they
prefer Oreos over homemade anything!)
We plan and make it through the holidays
by becoming Martha Stewart clones. We
welcome spring
sports and all the
activities that come
with the warmer
weather with open
arms. Then, by
mid-June we are
worn out! We just
spent the school
year teaching
our kids valuable
lessons, like: time
management skills,
(only hit the alarm
clock 4 times,)
good hygiene, (have you showered this
week?) healthy eating and exercise habits,
(eat something green today besides relish
on your hotdog and RUN for the bus,)
social skills, (don't pick your nose in
public,) human kindness (dont punch
your brother,) self-control (dont retaliate
if your brother punches you,) and the list
goes on and on. But, as I reflect on the last
9 months, and all the things I am trying
to instill in my boys, in order for them
to grow into men that will contribute to
society, (my hopes are high,) I find that I
often forget to teach them about one thing
very important; the art of fun!
Im able to relax with my friends and
have fun, Im able to watch my boys
have fun together or with their friends,
but how often do I make sure we are
having fun together? Certainly, lessons
are taught/learned through bumps along
the road of life; however, relationships are
built and strengthened during the silly,
fun moments. When were able to let our
parental guard down and just have fun
with our kids, sweet memories are made.
My boys love to tell a story about a
water fight that took place last summer.
Some neighborhood kids, along with
my four boys, spent an afternoon filling
up a ton of water balloons; they were
planning an epic water fight! After all
the balloons were filled and the teams
were divided, they met to discuss the
2555 Randall Ave, Central Point
The Art of Fun

"rules of war." My boys foolishly asked
me to guard their ammo during said
discussion. Another mom and I were
chatting as we stood watch, and we both
slowly gave birth to the same idea. We
could not help ourselves....
We quickly stole every balloon and hid.
When the kids returned for their ammo,
thinking that an amazing fight would
ensue, they were ambushed! We moms
threw as many balloons as we possibly
could before they even realized what
was happening; I would like to think it
was minutes, but
really it was about
3 seconds. Once
the kids caught
onto the fact that
the moms stole
their stash, they all
turned on us and
charged, (Kudos
to us for uniting
the kids! What
followed was a
huge, screaming,
running, laughing
water fight that
did not just end with balloon remnants,
buckets and hoses were brought out
(the kids meant business!) In the end,
the moms got props for the element of
surprise, but the kids definitely were
the victors. And we all had fun. And the
kids still talk about it. And a wonderful
memory was made.
My goal this summer is to let a few
things go and focus more on having fun
with my kids, not just making sure they
have fun. I may need to join in the game
of backyard football, even if I know I will
be sore tomorrow. I may need to start a
food fight, (outside,) even though I know
it will be a huge mess to clean up. I may
need to jump off that high rock into the
water with them, instead of just taking
pictures, even though the water is cold
and I'm really, really scared to do it!
The point is they are only little for a
short time, (I only have four summers
left with my oldest which makes this
mamma's heart sad.) I pray they will
always remember the life lessons I have
taught them. I hope they all will be great
men, dads and husbands. I know they
all have the capability to change the
world, but if they can't enjoy life along
the way, and have a little fun in the midst
of the heavy things they encounter, then
I will have failed to teach a an important
lesson that all parents need to teach their
children: how to have fun.

The Benefits of Test Prep

by Anna Schatz, JD/PhD
My test prep approach is unique (I like to
think) because it shows students how to actively
problem solve which can be surprisingly easy,
like playing catch, whether on the SAT, ACT,
PSAT or any graduate program admission test.
I encourage students to make and record one
decision at a time, thereby protecting their
short-term memory while staying confident,
calm and focused. As a college applicant,
honing ones individual testing approach can be
worth significant financial award, which in turn
reduces tuition costs.
Mindful test prep is also a meditative practice in
directing thought and attention while staying calm
under pressure. Ive had great success coaching
Portland area clients for all types of college and
graduate program admission to include athletes
and students with learning differences, ESL and
varying background and aptitude. I assist with all
aspects of applications as needed.
Its also motivating for students to articulate
the reasons for their college-bound efforts. Higher education admission may be viewed
as team tryouts. Students should become clear about the fit between what they as
applicants and the teams they hope to join each offer.
It is ideal to prep for two to four months before a real test or application due date on
an individual prep plan.

You wont want to miss the 48th annual Childrens

Festival as this years theme: Create a Spark!
promises to deliver three fun-filled sessions
that will bring out the creativity of both the
young and young at heart.
This three day event will be held at the Britt
Festival Grounds in Jacksonville July 12-14
and is sponsored by the Storytelling Guild.
For generations, the Childrens Festival has
been a favorite family summertime event that
offers hours of enjoyment and entertainment
at a very low $3.00 per person.
There are over 35 hands-on art, craft, science
projects (including a new one to the science
booth called Squishy Circuits) and of course
the daily feeding of the litter-eating dragons,
Rosabelle and Pebbles and a new addition,
a baby dragon named Lulu that is anxious
to receive your recyclable items! Older children will
enjoy candle making, pottery and wood working, while
younger children will have a chance to make a macaroni
necklace, sand and easel art and have faces painted. The
whole family can also look forward to child-focused stage
performances, yummy food from our Dragon Deli and
also meeting our new 2014 Queen and her court.

Children are encouraged to bring a
Lego brick from home. (not necessary, but
encouraged!) They will be able to write their
name on it and donate it for others to use
during future Festivals.
The Storytelling Guild always appreciates
the support of our very generous community. If you
happen to have Legos at home that you no longer want,
the Storytelling Guild would welcome your donation. By
supporting the Guild, you help us to not only continue
putting on one of the most popular family events, but also
the other programs they do throughout the year. They
are dedicated to serving the community by providing
opportunities for children to be exposed to the magic of
books and the joy of reading. You can contact one of the
Directors for more information. Lara Knackstedt at 541210-1999 or Lona Dillard at lona.dillard@gmail.com. Visit

Quiet Time For a Lasting State Of Happiness
ts summer.
Guests are
coming. Trips
are being planned. We are busy planning
all the exciting events we can fit into our
summer. The first thing we compromise
because we are too busy is our self-care
routines. We skip workouts, yoga class
and meditation, and we can end up with
high levels of stress which can cause
health problems. Studies show that our
ability to maintain a state of happiness
is directly linked to how much time we
invest in our inner well-being. They all
show that quiet time and meditation
are crucial ingredients to a lasting state
of happiness. The misconception that
meditation is just about shutting off the
mind makes most people think that they
cant do it.
Lets talk
about it as
developing
your ability
to have
moments
of presence
and quality
Me time.
You can
think of it
as practicing redirecting your thoughts
toward what you want to feel.
Giving yourself quiet time everyday is
a simple way to keep your stress levels
down and cultivate a happy heart and
mind. I didnt say meditate; just quiet
time for you to be with you. This practice
has some of the same relaxing benefits
as meditation. Spending undisturbed,
quiet time alone gives your mind an
opportunity to clear tension, renew itself
and improves brain function. It allows
you to deepen your relationship with
the wisdom of your heart and cultivate a
lasting sense of wellbeing.
Practicing Quiet Time: I suggest you do
the following in the morning when your
mind is restedbut anytime is a good
time. You can take your morning coffee
or tea somewhere undisturbed and keep
your goal clear:
This is a time for me to connect with my
inner self.
Start by focusing on your breath as it
flows in and out of your nose. Then
take a deep breath into your belly,
filling your whole body and pausing
for 3 to 10 seconds; then let it out

through your nose slowly. Do that at
least three times.
As you let your breath move gently
and with ease, mentally ask yourself:
How are you? Dont rush to
answer. Just connect with whatever
you are feeling. This is not a time to
be judgmental but to simply BE with
what is. If your mind wanders, try
to stay present and focused on your
breath: breathing in Peace, breathing
out Peace.
On a blank paper, write whatever
you are feeling, without judgments.
If you feel resistance, fine; then feel
that. This is simply about clearing
your mind.
Give yourself your full, undivided
attention. As you learn to listen to
yourself, you become a better listener
for others.
You can close with an affirmation
like: I am opening to the highest
opportunity of this day for me and
the higher good of all.
Before you stop, allow time to think
of up to 10 things you feel grateful for
today.
Practice this process for a minimum of 7
minutes a day (up to an hour) for at least
40 days and see what happens.
In 1678, John Bunyan wrote in his great
work The Pilgrims Progress, If we have
not quiet in our minds, outward comfort
will do no more for us than a golden slipper
on a gouty foot. It was true then and its
true now. Even though its summer.
If you want to acquire tools and
experience a deeper connection to your
inner, quiet space, you can join our

Soul Matters
Trail Talk

Midlife Musings
Thoroughly unprepared, we take the step into the afternoon of life. Worse still, we take this
step with the false presupposition that our truths and our ideals will serve us as hitherto. But we
cannot live the afternoon of life according to the program of lifes morning, for what was great
in the morning will be little at evening and what in the morning was true, at evening will have
become a lie. ~Carl Jung
magine yourself on a beach on a

lovely summers day. You have
spent the past few hours lovingly
and painstakingly constructing a fantastic
sandcastle, complete with moat and
protective walls. You stand back admiring
your work when you notice that the tide
is coming in. You think it
wont reach your castle,
then you hope against
hope that it wont, but
with each successive
lapping, the water comes
closer. Soon you can no
longer deceive yourself
into thinking that your
creation is untouchable.
The water begins to
erode the foundation,
and all you can do is
watch as it disappears
before your eyes.
Midlife is like
standing on the beach, watching your
castle being swept out to sea. The castle
contains many things: health, energy,
hopes, dreams, beliefs, beauty, a sense
of immortality. There are many ways
one can meet the afternoon of life.
In our country, midlife is something
to be resisted. Ours is a nation that
extols youth, novelty, consumption,
conformity and extraversion; it
does not venerate or cultivate age,
wisdom, intuition, introversion, and
introspectionall the qualities called
for at midlife.
Psychologically speaking, midlife
beckons us to move past ego and discover
our internal, immortal essence, what Jung
called the Self. We are called to move
from an external orientation to an internal
one, to transform ourselves in a profound
and meaningful way by embracing the
fullness of who we are. It is normal to
develop our egos as we go through the
first half of life; discovering our strengths,
falling in love, working, and creating
an outer life are all important. The

trouble arises when we stop at this stage,
believing that that is all there is, or all that
matters. A person (or a culture) centered
on youth and novelty has no internal
compass, no guiding wisdom, no depth of
character. Its shallow and insubstantial
and about as
attractive as an old,
painted hooker.
We fritter our
energies and ignore
our souls attempting
to hold back the
sea. Pursuing
eternal youth and
material goods is
a vain attemptin
both senses of the
wordto hold fast
to a castle that is
returning to the sea.
It is Sisyphean and
sad to try to look and behave like a thirtyyear-old when youre pushing sixty; sad
because its such a tremendous waste of
a powerful and precious opportunity to
become something more: someone deeper
and more soulful, someone unique with
something real to offer.
What at morning is true at evening
will have become a lie, and what will
matter is not how young you look or
what you own but who you truly are; not
who you once were, or who you imagine
yourself to be, but who you uniquely and
actually are. The opportunity to come into
our fullness is the sacred gift contained in
midlife. Who are you? Why are you here?
What needs to be done? These are the
questions posed by the sea.

re you
one of
those
trail hikers or trail
runners that love
the challenge of
the higher trails in
the Forest Park? Do you crave that high
from the extra effort it takes to reach the
highest elevations in the Forest Park? If
so, its likely youve already been on the
Twin Peaks Trail, the Leg Burner Trail,
and the Jackson Ridge Trail. Any will
take you up to elevations over 3,000 feet
where you are rewarded with fantastic
views and rarified air! All three trails can be
accessed easily by driving to the parking lot
on Norling Creek Road which is the lower
trail head location for all three trails. For a
good warm-up though, park at the kiosk
at the main parking lot (P-1 on the maps
available at the kiosk) or parking lot P-6
which is about one-third mile up the road
from P-1 and take the trails or the roads up
to P-3. The main kiosk in the Forest Park
is located in the main parking lot, just a
short drive into Forest Park off of Reservoir
Road. You can also grab a trail map at the
Jacksonville Review kiosk inside the Beekman
Bank at California & 3rd Streets.
ATA HIKE, WINE & DINE at

Applegate Valleys RED LILY VINEYARD
If you've ever been to Red Lily
Vineyards in the Applegate and thought,
"What a beautiful place," you might want
to join the Applegate Trails Association
on July 20 for a rare opportunity to hike
on the hills around the vineyard.
We'll meet at Red
Lily (11777 Hwy. 238)
at 9:00am and divide
into two groups to
do a 4-mile moderate
loop hike through the
woods, open areas, and
along the Applegate
River, where recentlyplanted trees promise
shade for Chinook
salmon. We'll stop at a
lovely viewpoint above
the vineyards, where grapevines slope to
the cluster of Red Lily buildings below
and Welllington Butte, on the north side of
Hwy. 238, rises beyond.
After returning to the wine-tasting area,
hikers can change into shorts and sandals

ground and long pants to protect against

We have good news for those whove

tackled the Jackson Ridge Trailup until
now, its been the old logging road, is
steep, rough, and filled with ruts and
bulldozed water barswith no shade.
The Park Rangers, assisted by a dedicated
volunteer, have been constructing an
alternative trail to the side of the Jackson
Ridge Trail starting at the bottom at
parking lot P-3. This new trail surface
is less steep and is shaded by beautiful
pines and madrones. The lower section is
about 2,000 feet long, and when it meets
the logging road it immediately crosses
over the road and continues on the shady
north slope for another 1,000 feet. Meeting
the road again, it crosses over to the south
slope onto a new trail that takes you up
to the viewpoint on the road, bypassing
the steepest and roughest part of the road.
From the viewpoint on the trail, the trail
will be back on the road surface the rest
of the way up to the top where the upper
section is fairly gentle with partial shade.
The Park Rangers would like to remind
hikers that fire season has started! Though
we rarely see anyone smoking on the
trails, absolutely no fires or smoking is
permitted in the Forest Park!

Between Sessions
by Kyleen Brodie, LMT

The Elements Massage Therapy LLC
ou leave the massage therapists

office feeling fabulous. Theres a
spring in your step and you can
look over your left shoulder farther than
you have in years. All is right in the world.
Fast-forward 3 days and you wonder what
happened! Where did that feeling go?
Although Id like to believe massage
can cure all your aches and pains, it sadly
cannot. But what it can do is reset the soft
tissues of your body and provide a window
of opportunity for YOU to make changes
to your bodys state of being. Unless you
adjust your posture, stride, habits, etc., your
body will eventually revert back to its usual
position. So here are a few tips for making
the change, between sessions:
Body AwarenessIts something we
all need more of. Do you stand with your
weight squarely between both legs? Or lean
on one only? Do you cross your arms in
front of you regularly? Do you favor a leg
or arm? Building body awareness is the first
step towards improvement.
HydrationDrink more water. Period.
CirculationBlood is life. The more you
circulate it, the more you bring oxygen and
nutrients to tissues. Doesnt that sound like
something you want more of?
HandsPeople often use their hands
and fingers with more force than is actually
necessary. Do you strongly grip the steering
wheel while driving? Or jam away at the
keyboard while typing? Using less force
during simple tasks can greatly reduce
overall body tension.
FeetFrom being crammed into too tight

of shoes to standing for 12 hours a day,
our feet take quite a beating. Aside from
adjusting your footwear or changing your
stance, a simple at-home foot massage can go
a long way in relaxing those tiny muscles.
StandingSo simple, yet somehow
we get it completely wrong! Do you have
the propensity to lean your upper body
forward or backward from the hips while
you stand? Do you tend to roll your hips
forward/stick your butt out? Or perhaps
you prefer to roll your hips under and
shrug your shoulders? Either way, you
are probably putting undue stress on your
lower back and setting yourself up for
chronic back pain.
SittingIf you ever experience
discomfort in the upper back and neck
when sitting, chances are your head is
not balanced over the spine. Many people
unknowingly have a head forward posture
that greatly stresses the muscles of the
back and neck. Remember, head up and
shoulders back.
BreathingBreathe deeply. Breathe
slowly. Breathe with intention.
Hopefully some of these suggestions help
you on your way to a healthier you. Cheers!

Working Out-Doors
by Pam Wright, MS
hen you think about ways

to improve your posture,
balance or reduce neck and
back pain, do you automatically think,
I really need to strengthen my core! If
you do, then youre on the right track,
and if you are not sure what I mean
by strengthen your core, then let me
explain. We hear about the importance
of having a strong core all the time,
but what is the core and how do you
go about strengthening itparticularly
while utilizing the beautiful Jacksonville
outdoors? Lets face it, were more likely
to start and stick to an exercise program
if its enjoyable, so pick one of the many
beautiful parks around town to do your
core exercises.
First, I want to clear-up a common myth
that says as you age its inevitable that
you will end up with a rounded posture
or hunching of the spine. Im here to
tell you that having an imperfect posture
is not completely the result of agingit
2.Band Trunk Rotations 1
2.Band Trunk Rotations 2
can actually be attributed to weak (deconditioned) core and abdominal muscles.

So when you think of the core muscles,
chances are you think of the six pack
abs, but there is much more to it than
simply doing crunches and sit-ups. The
core encompasses a number of muscles
from your shoulders down to your hips.
When targeting the core, its important to
include your sides, midsection and your
upper and lower back.
Below are some simple core
strengthening exercises that can be
done anywherestop at a park bench
at the Courthouse or do them at home. I
recommend doing them at least 2-3 times
per week for 2-3 sets of 10 repetitions (or 10
second holds) in order to gain some results.

or email with questions. 541-646-8722/
pamwrightfitness@gmail.com. See ad this page.
1. Abdominal Bracing: While sitting in a

chair, laying in bed or standing in line, simply
tense (contract) the muscles in the core as if you
were about to be hit in the stomach (hold the
contraction for 5-10 seconds while breathing).
2. Band Trunk Rotations: Position your band
around a tree, hold both handles and extend your
arms forward, brace/contract your abdominal
muscles and twist your upper body to the right.
Repeat on opposite side.
3. Modified Plank: Position your forearms and
elbows on a bench directly below your shoulders,
bring your body into a flat/plank position, brace
your abdominal muscles and hold for 10 seconds
while breathing.
4. Dumbbell Side Bends: With or without a 3-5
lb. dumbbell in the right hand, place opposite hand
behind head, brace your abdominal muscles and
bend to the right side. Repeat on the opposite side.

ndependencewhat a
wonderful thing to celebrate!
We have so many things to
be thankful for in this beautiful
country and the 4th gives us a
perfect opportunity to recognize
it. While these celebrations can
be a lot of fun for people, they can be terrifying for
our animals. The sights, sounds, and commotion of
Independence Day can confuse animals and make them
nervous, which can often lead them to run away or place
themselves in harmful situations. The tips below can
help keep your animals safe.
To help keep your animals from becoming overlystressed this 4th of July, consider the following tips:
Do not take your pets to fireworks displays.
Keep pets indoors and away from crowds so that
they feel more protected. Due to the noise, dogs
may try to dig out of yards, so keeping them inside
is a good choice. If keeping your dog inside is not
an option, triple check the fences/gates around
your property to make sure they are intact and in
good condition. If your pet is already appropriately
trained, they may feel safest in their crate.
A fan (or other white noise), T.V. or radio can help
mask the sound of fireworks.
Consider boarding your animals in a safe place that
is away from the holiday action, especially if the
party is scheduled for your front yard! If you plan to
travel during this time, boarding your animal might
be a better option than leaving it at home without
supervision.
Early behavior training can desensitize your animal
to holiday commotion. It is important to teach your
puppy (ideally) or dog how to handle loud noises
through positive conditioning. Do not punish your
dog for being scared by thunderstorms or fireworks.
If your pet becomes easily spooked by fireworks,
your veterinarian may consider prescribing a
sedative or anti-anxiety medication. Remember that
your animal must have an up-to-date exam with a

veterinarian in order to receive medications, so plan
ahead!
As always, the 4th of July is a good time to make
sure your pet is wearing an ID collar and is microchipped.
Keep pets away from fireworks, matches, lighter
fluid, as well as the food and drinks (including
alcohol) that may accompany 4th of July
celebrations. If you have horses, be sure to keep
them indoors and away from the sound of fireworks.
In the event that your pet is lost, perform a thorough
search of the neighborhood (or area where the pet
became lost), as pets have been known to be found
close to home even several days later. Put up signs
with a recent photo of the pet and your phone number
and ask your neighbors for help. If your pet is microchipped, (and we recommend that it should be) contact
the microchip registration company. Once notified, they
may activate a lost pet recovery network and/or place
your lost pet on a "hot sheet" or on their social media
networks. You should also contact your veterinarian. If
your pet is wearing a collar with a rabies tag, the number
can be traced to your veterinarian and then back to you
if the pet is found or taken to a shelter. Contact animal
control, shelters and humane organizations and provide
a detailed description of your pet. If possible, visit them
daily to see if your pet has been brought-in. Here in
Jacksonville, you can send the Jacksonville Review a photo
and description of your pet, which will be blasted-out
on their vast social media network. Check the paper and
online sources daily for "found pet" ads as well as pet
for sale ads. Unfortunately, there has been an increase
in people attempting to sell found or stolen pets on sites
such as Craigslist.
We hope you and your pets have a safe and happy 4th
of July!

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

Keeping Pets Safe and Secure on the 4th
by Dee Perez, Dogs for the Deaf
ogs for the Deaf held our 23rd-Annual Dog

Walk on May 31 at the Jacksonville Elementary
School. The 170 dog walkers enjoyed petthemed vendors, a dog agility course, pet photos, a
poker walk, lunch, ice cream and a whole lot of fun. Our
Mistress of Ceremonies this year was Miss Oregon 2013
Alison Cook, who also served as a judge for a SuperHear-O themed dog costume contest and super pet tricks
contest. Some heroic (and adorable) pooches showed
off for the crowd with costumes familiarBatman and
Robin, Wonder Woman, Superman, Green Lantern, and
many othersand original, like a Super Bee and Super
Princess. Many thanks to all our wonderful sponsors,
vendors and volunteers who helped make this day
happen. And to those of you who joined us at this years
dog walk, we cant wait to see you again next year.
Dogs for the Deaf has also hired a brand new President
and CEO, Blake Matray. Blake will join DFD on July 1,
coming to us from Fairbanks, Alaska, where he recently
retired from the U.S. Air Force. Blake previously served
as the Executive Director of the Sled Dog Fund, Inc., as
well as serving as a member of the Board of Directors for
the Alaska Center for Children and Adults, a non-profit
that serves adults and children with special needs within
interior Alaska.
Im honored to have been chosen as the next
President & CEO of Dogs for the Deaf, says Matray.
My family and I are excited about joining the Medford
area community and Im eager to start working with a
great group of people at Dogs for the Deaf. Im energized
by the mission of Dogs for the Deaf and I look forward to
leading the organization through the years ahead.
And finally, Dogs for the Deaf, Inc. has earned the
prestigious 4-star rating from Charity Navigator. The
rating was awarded based on sound fiscal management

practices and commitment to accountability and

transparency. This is the first time that Dogs for the Deaf,
Inc. has earned this top distinction from the nations
largest independent charity evaluator.
Dogs for the Deafs 4-star rating puts it in a very
select group of high-performing charities, according
to Ken Berger, President and CEO, Charity Navigator.
Out of the thousands of nonprofits Charity Navigator
evaluates, only one out of four earns 4 starsa
rating that, now, with our new Accountability and

responsibility and commitment to openness. Dogs for the
Deafs supporters should feel much more confident that
their hard-earned dollars are being used efficiently and
responsibly when it acquires such a high rating.

Aint Misbehavin
A Balanced Approach to Dog Training
by Dr. Jeff Judkins, Animalkind Veterinary Clinic

If your puppy growls when you try
to take his bone away, grab him by the
scruff of the neck, flip him onto his back
and hold him down until he submits to
you. When I was a young veterinarian
fresh out of school, this is an example
of puppy training advice Id offer
my clients. Mind you, Id received no
animal behavior training in vet school
everything I thought I knew about dog
behavior Id learned from reading articles
or from my boss at the clinic.
At the time, popular theory asserted
that a dogs behavior is patterned after its
wild ancestors. This meant that in order
for a pup to learn its proper place and
grow up to be a well-mannered adult dog,
youd have to demonstrate who was the
alpha dog (you!) of his pack.
While this theory seemed perfectly
reasonable to me at the time, it turned
out to be based on incorrect assumptions
about pack behavior gleaned from studies
of captive wolves rather than in the
wild. Leading wolf expert Dr. L. David
Mech writes in The Canadian Journal of
Zoology, In the wild, the typical wolf
pack is a family, with the adult parents
guiding the activities of a group in a
division-of-labor system; dominance
contests with other wolves are rare, if
they exist at all.
Looking back, I now realize that my
pack-centric advice actually resulted
in some puppies becoming fearful,
withdrawn and even aggressive as adult
dogs. Certainly this was not the outcome
I was expecting as a committed and
compassionate young vet.
Up through the 19th-century, the
prevailing attitude was that dogs, like
horses, had a wild nature that needed
to be broken by whatever means
necessary. A more enlightened approach
began to develop in the early 1900s; and
in 1952, Training You to Train Your Dog
by Blanche Saunders was published,
and became the bible for dog trainers
into the 1970s. The basic message
advocated praise, but no treat rewards.
Ample use of choke collars and physical
force was necessary if the dog did not
behave as desired.
In the early 90s, I was lucky enough
to pick up a copy of C.W. Meisterfields
book Psychological Dog Training. His
approach discounted the theory of
dominance, and used only positive
reinforcement techniques, which he
believed fosters a relationship of mutual
trust and respect without fear. It was

a revelation for me, and completely
changed the advice Id give to my puppy
and dog-owning clients. Meisterfield and
a host of other behaviorists, including
veterinarian Ian Dunbar, popularized
dog friendly training, which has
become a concept supported by the
majority of trainers today.
Old ideas, however, have a way of
coming back. In his 2007 best-selling
book, Become the Pack Leader, Cesar
Millan (of the popular Dog Whisperer TV
series) states, Weve gone from the oldfashioned authoritarian extremewhere
animals existed only to do our bidding
to another unhealthy extremewhere
animals are considered our equal
partners in every area of our lives. His
methods are essentially a return to the
alpha dog approach, where rewards
are almost never used. After watching
his show a few times, I began to notice
that the audience never actually sees the
real training, just the before-and-after. It
made me wonder what really occurred
behind the scenes.
While most trainers today stress a
positive approach, many would also
agree that negative reinforcement can
be appropriate in certain situations if
used properly and compassionately.
I know numerous people who make
good use of invisible fencing to keep
their dogs safely confined on their
property. Certainly, a mild shock when
the dog approaches the fence could
be considered negative; however, it
serves to save the dog from running off
and potentially being hit by a car.
In the end, a balanced approach to
training a dog is best, and it depends
on the dog and the situation. Longtime
Applegate dog trainer Cary Voorhees
puts it this way: How I prefer to train
is to work on the relationship between
the dog owner and the dog. To teach the
owner what the dog likes, how to get
what you want from the dog and how
to have a give-and-take relationship just
as you would with any other member
of your family. This involves treats,
toys, attention and exercise. If the dog
has undesirable behaviors, then the dog
needs to learn self-restraint, be redirected
or learn about consequences for those
unwanted behaviors.
