p until a few minutes ago, as I was channelsurfing to find the Oregon Ducks game on
television, I thought this column was in the can.
Not so fast, I said to myself as coverage of the Chilean
earthquake appeared on-screen. Had I not seen the
coverage, this column would have talked about the
FUN things to do in-town this monthfrom shopping,
wine tasting, Meet the Pioneers, Haunted Trolley Tours,
concerts, art shows, etc.
Sorry to disappoint you, but in the wake of the 8.3
magnitude earthquake that shattered Chile, I thought
the ink was better spent on a NOT-SO-FUN topic
CITY PRIORITIES!
The massive Chilean earthquake serves as a stark
reminder that a replacement fire station remains our
number one priority. Why? Because Jacksonville lies within
the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a 600 mile-long fault line
running from Northern California to Canada. Its not a case
of if the BIG quake will occur, its when. And its also
about how our city leaders prepare or dont prepare.
The Review has been publicly advocating for a
seismically-safe fire station for years, a position that
has received no serious discussion or attention from
the City Council. Instead, the focus (and use of limited

ts October and
fall is in the
air. So are the
IRS letter/bills letting taxpayers know
that their tax returns dont agree with
the information reported about them!
Sometime in the middle of September,
all of the reports from employers, banks,
brokerage houses, mortgage companies
and the businesses who issue 1099s
have been filed with the IRS or the Social
Security offices. Then that big IRS computer
starts comparing those reports with the
tax returns filed. The letters that taxpayers
received earlier in the year dealt with
miscalculations or mistakes in reporting
known amounts like estimated payments.
The letters received now are the letters where
the IRS computer cannot see that something
was reported or it was reported incorrectly.
As a taxpayer who gets one of those
letters, your first thought will be to pay
it and make them go away. This is true,
particularly if the amount is about $700
or less. There are studies that have been
done that say that people will just pay
the bill if the amount is low enough. The
IRS, Oregon and particularly California
depend on this. As a taxpayer reading
this article, you should not give in to
that impulse, regardless of the amount.
The computer makes mistakes. Often, in
March of the following tax year, a client
will come with a letter/bill that they paid,
only to find out that the error was due to
a computer misread of the return. They
paid an erroneous bill and it is too late to
try to correct the bill after the fact.
The computer attempts to match the
items reported where it is programmed
that they should be. Taxpayers have
unique situations and sometimes things
are reported in a different way because of
a taxpayers situation or other items that

City Snapshot
Council Critical of Performing Arts
VenueOn September 1, before its
regular meeting, the City Council held a
Study Session to discuss potential uses
of the upper floor of the Courthouse.
Mayor Becker, an advocate for using the
upper floor as a mixed use Performing
Arts venue, presided over the meeting.
For background, the city owns the historic
building and outbuildings and has plans
to relocate its city offices to the first floor,
pending extensive mechanical, plumbing
and electrical upgrades. Although the
City Council has approved certain
work to be done on the courthouse,
it has not yet greenlighted work to
commence on the upper floor. Earlier
this summer, Ausland Construction
Company completed a major seismic
retrofit that improved building stability
in the event of an earthquake. The
seismic and construction work and future
improvements are being funded with
Urban Renewal tax funds.
At the Study Session meeting, what
to do with the upper floor was the only
topic on the table. A consultant hired
by the city to investigate potential uses,
Teresa Hart, was in attendance to provide
an overview of what other cities have
done with similar public spaces. Hart
had appeared before council before, and
for similar reasons. Citing mixed public
use examples in Portland, Coos Bay and
Eugene, Hart concluded that a performing
arts venue had the potential to bolster
Jacksonville by bringing cultural and
economic value to the city. During
discussion, council raised concerns that
the population base of Jacksonville was
too small for comparative purposes.
By and large, Council questioned the
use analysis, citing a lack of information
and clear vision. First to speak at the
session, Councilor Bennington noted
that the council had never agreed on
creating a performing arts venue in the
first place and that it was too narrow a
use and in the wrong place. Councilor
Jesser suggested moving the Art Presence

umber 30
of the 33
notable
things observed over
the past twenty-five years of living and
doing business in a small town says,
Understand the inherent moral contract
of employing young people. With the right
guidance and encouragement, any one of them
just may change the world for the better.
We've employed hundreds of young
people in the last quarter-century. It is
our legacy. We
didn't know
this starting out
but now clearly
understand
the truth and
purpose why
we were placed
here. The tyranny
of the urgent
ruled the early
years blinding
me to the truly
important. I think Mary intuitively knew
the value she poured into these kids early
on although neither of us could have
known the greater import over time. We
recently had to let one of our own go. It
doesn't happen very often but it happens.
The kid didnt get a fair shake but in the
end made it impossible for us to make
it right. I was not paying close enough
attention and the opportunity expired.
As the sun begins to set on our small
town life, I'm haunted by the dead sea of
lost opportunity. What may have been
and what was but didn't have to be gives
me great pause. It's a cause and effect
world we inhabit. There is a cost for every
decision we make. That is very sobering,
especially in the context of influencing
young lives. The young have the innate
capacity to receive. The not so young tend
to merely take. Why is that? Receiving is
an investment to pay out compounding
dividends over time; taking is simply
consumption without return. We've
been entrusted with the power to shape
not just young lives but the exponential
connections made over a lifetime
and generationally. It is a staggering
thought. Teachers, counselors, mentors
and leaders are instinctually governed
by this principle and those who are not
should occupy a lesser space.
Thumbprint
For all of us there is a final day. No
man knows the hour but as years pass by
that day looms ever closer. Everything
inanimate and animate in the known
universe is meticulously measured.
To believe sentient, mature life with
millions of human connections affecting
generations will not be subject to some
metric of accountability is a little nave.
It's a reasonable wager (an appropriate word
here) the final metric will have something to
do with whats been invested in other lives,
the good and
not so much. In
a consumption
society, life is
quantified by
perception of
happiness, how
much we possess
and subjugate
the world around
us. A pond that
shallow can't
feed many
fish. Interestingly, the same pond looks
deceivingly deeper from afar. Shallow ponds
have not springs of living water so foul easily
and often dry up in a single generation.
As I write this column, we are celebrating
our 25th anniversaries (marriage and
livelihood) at the Tu Tu Tun Lodge on the
mighty Rogue about six miles upriver from
Gold Beach. It's a spectacular setting too
exquisite for words although Mary calls it
a thumbprint of God. Thats remarkably
accurate. It is raining so we're lounging
by the fire overlooking the beautiful
expanse of moving water and the
surrounding abundant life it nourishes.
Rivers are symbolic of life because they
are dynamic; ever in motion to serve
everything living they touch.
The flames in our cozy fire have settled
down but the embers red glow deepens
with my contemplation. Im afraid that
more grace and goodness have poured
into our clay vessels than we've poured
back into others so I am accountable
for and sincerely regret every precious,
wasted drop.
Be good not bitter.

I remember the first days she was home with me. Not
a morning person or an early riser, I eagerly jumped
out of bed in the early dawn to sit and play with her
before I had to go to work. At the time, my job required
daily travel and I would take her in the car with me
wherever I went. She would load up and sit shot gun,
I would buckle her up and she would snuggle into her
bed for the ride. She came to me in a unique time when
I had nothing but time on my hands and no children
that required my attention. So, she was my world. Over
the years she was my constant companion. When I went
to vet school in Corvallis, my husband stayed here for
work, but Isabelle went with me. She spent countless
hours lying next to me while I studied without ever
making me feel guilty. When I graduated and started
my first job, she was a constant presence in the clinic.
When I moved to JVille Vet and gained my own office,
her bed sat right next to me.
Even though I have lost pets before, there were
none like Isabelle. As a veterinarian, I help clients deal
with the loss of their pets daily but this is the first
time I have dealt with it on such a personal level. And
though I understood before now, I get it. My heart is
broken unlike anything I have ever felt before. Isabelle
was my first dog as an adult, my very first baby, and
my very best friend. I have never known love like this
and possibly never will again regardless of how many
dogs I own.

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

y favorite part of
Sanctuary One is
sharing the happy
endings. The uplifting success
stories of transformation,
rehabilitation and unconditional
love as animals and people work
together to overcome incredible
obstacles demonstrate the
magic of Sanctuary One. At the
Sanctuary, we save lives daily thanks to our dedicated
donors, supporters and volunteers. As you read these
happy endings, I hope you are inspired to get involved
and adopt, educate, inspire others, join the new monthly
giving Care Family and be a part of the magic.
A Rose Blossoms with
Love and CareRose arrived
at Sanctuary One in 2010,
starving and terrified. She was
transferred to us after being
rescued and found standing
knee deep in muck next to the
body of her foal. After years
of rehabilitation, care and love
from dedicated Sanctuary One staff and volunteers, Rose
found a home last month. Rose's new family said, "Thank
you for blessing us with Rose. We are so happy to have
her in our family and to see what joy a companion horse
brings to my Betsy girl, an older mare. She's doing very
well taking treats and letting me pet her! She is meant to
be here and we just love her already!
Meshach the Burned Cat SavedMeshach proves that
animals can heal inside and out. Just before Christmas
in 2011, a good Samaritan
found this orange cat with
severe burns on his face,
ears and beneath his tail.
Police concluded the fire was
started intentionally with a
liquid accelerant. Meshach
was treated by Best Friends
Animal Shelter in Talent, who dubbed him Meshach

After Rogue Disposal & Recycling picks up your household
trash at the curb, it begins a process you can be proud
to be a part of. The trash is taken to Dry Creek Landfill,
and as the organic material in the waste decomposes,
it creates methane gas. That methane is captured and
carefully channeled to our Gas-to-Energy plant, where
generators produce enough electricity to power 3,000
homes for an entire year. This is just one of the many
community conscious, environmentally friendly programs
brought to you by Rogue Disposal & Recycling.
