My View
by Whitman Parker, Publisher
“T here’s no place like home…there’s no place
like home” played in my head a thousand
times last month after unexpectedly finding
myself in a Mexican hospital in order to air-ambulance
my father home. After learning that my father had a
stroke while vacationing in a resort area, the family
mission was getting him stateside and into the most
capable medical hands. Trust me, the experience was
no vacation...neither is Mexico for that matter. Having
traveled there many times, I now see it as the antithesis
of Jacksonville – as a place in flux, a country seemingly
lost and based on mistrust, manipulation and fear.
After touching down on US soil, the world-class staff
at Tucson Medical Center took over, prompting a reprise
of Dorothy’s famous line in my head. For my father, the
rehab road will be long, but is full of optimism, hope and
possibility, requiring a medical-family-team effort.
Post-Mexico, I’m more grateful than ever to live in a
town where I can live in peace with my neighbors and
walk down the street without looking askew at those
coming my way. Trust me, there’s value in trusting those
in your community and Jacksonville is the real deal.
After the ordeal, I couldn’t help thinking that some of the
serious “issues” I’ve been focused on over the last three
years may not be as critical as once thought.
My optimism for my father’s medical recovery
is equaled by the optimism for another sensational
Jacksonville summer season, bolstered by an incredible
lineup on the Britt Hill. Jacksonville is a town brimming
with energy and enthusiasm – the pages of this issue
are chock-full of wonderful articles, columns and things
to do – as is our online edition at jacksonvillereview.
com! Events this month include the Forest Park Day,
Opening Day of the Farmers Market, a May Day Festival
at Bigham Knoll, History Saturday at the Cemetery,
UnCorked!, the Starthistle Fly In, the Jacksonville
Elementary Britt Musical, the Garden Club Plant Sale
and more!
Last but certainly not least, The Review is thrilled to
invite you to join Art Presence for their “Art Amble,”
which returns to downtown on Friday, May 27, 5-7pm.
From May-October on the 4th Friday of each month,
Jacksonville will be the place to be with 24 businesses
staying open late and hosting local artists.
Come downtown On May 27 for a fun-filled evening
and meet and support our wonderful local artists in our

CITY HALL HAPPENINGS
A Few Minutes with
the Mayor
by Paul Becker
On Citizen Participation
L S
ast month I wrote of the many
citizen volunteers who devote
their time, their resources, and
their energy, to our city. Naturally,
not every one has the time to devote
to commissions or committees, or for
that matter even service-oriented group
activities. However, there is another way
one can participate.
We have what I might respectfully
call “gadflies” who are quick to point
out things which, in their mind, are
problems in the way the city is governed
or managed. You know who some of
them are because they care enough to be
vocal about what they believe. Right or
wrong, and it goes down both ways from
time to time, they try to effect changes
or corrections to things they perceive as
needing such attention. At times they
may seem irksome, but let me relate a
story about one such person who saved
a world-renowned landmark from the
developer’s wrecking ball in 1979.
The landmark was New York City’s
47 year-old Radio City Music Hall and
the lady who saved it was Mary Ann
Krupsak. The local newspapers carried
the story of a decaying theater which, in
the developer’s words, would be better
off torn down and replaced with another
skyscraper. Of course, the skyscraper
would earn far more than the decaying

theater. The city administration and the
state government were in agreement with
the proposed development. Who could
argue about the economics as they were
presented? Our gadfly, Mary Ann, could
and did. To this day I have felt there was
a great film script with this story because
she was up against every entrenched
interest in the city and she saved the
theater within hours of the arrival of the
wrecking crews who were scheduled
to demolish the famed edifice. Almost
single-handedly, she argued, fought,
and cornered government officials to the
point where the Historic Preservation
Commission was finally able to declare
the theater as a historic landmark. The
outcome of her battle was both dramatic
and nothing short of phenomenal. It was
a battle won by someone who cared.
As mayor, I speak every day to citizens
in our own town who care enough to be
vocal about things…and it is my prayer for
our community that they continue to care.
It is precisely their attention and devotion
that makes Jacksonville a thriving, energetic
city. We are blessed to have them. But…
how about you? Let me encourage you
to become “involved.” We in City Hall
are more than glad to listen to you. You
never know what you might accomplish.

The Metal Poppies of Jacksonville Chamber Chat

by Criss Garcia by The Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce

Over the last ten years Jacksonville,
Oregon has slowly gained renown as ‘The
Napa of the North’. The divine grapes
that are a product of the intense sunshine
and dry soils of Southern Oregon extend
beyond the pinot noirs that the wetter
Willamette clime has made famous. The
flourishing vines have come to symbolize
a new start for a town whose prosperity
once depended on extracting gold from
the dry rocky soil. The new gold is grown
on the vine and refined by the efforts of
vintners whose blend
of skills borrow both
from art and science.
Last August
2010, two groups of
breathtakingly realistic
California poppies
ranging in height up
to twelve feet high
sprang up fully-
formed overnight
against the vineyard
backdrop. Like the
tall tales of the gold
rush days, these
out-of-scale beauties
defied immediate
explanation, cars of
tourists and locals
alike pulled off South
Stage Road Southeast
of Jacksonville to get a
closer look and a snap
on their cell phone camera of the artistic
giants located in the vineyards of local
grower and wine purveyor, South Stage
Cellars.
Although the commanding and brilliant
orange and incredibly lifelike poppies
seemed to spring forth from the hard
packed clay overnight, they were actually
the product of months-long preparation
by the artist, Cheryl D Garcia and South
Stage Cellars who leases the hillside
property. It all started when Jacksonville
metal artist Cheryl D Garcia approached
South Stage Cellars’ marketing manager
Porscha Schiller about her longtime
dream of creating giant scale sculptures in
their vineyards.
Cheryl had created her first giant-scale
handcrafted flowers in 2005 using grant
money provided to a local elementary
school to bring art onto the playground.
Several private commissions proved that
the popularity of Cheryl’s giant flowers
extended well beyond the playground.
Those four giant flowers created a demand
and notoriety for Cheryl’s work that was
helping a childhood dream come true.
An expert metal artist with seventeen
years experience and a reputation for
producing artworks brimming with heart
and whimsy, Cheryl had been shopping
around for the right venue to exhibit
some of her giant metal artworks. She was
looking for a location that was infused
with the natural beauty that served as the
inspiration for her work and she found it
in the Quail Run Vineyard.
A few more meetings with Porscha and
South Stage Cellars owners Don, Michael
and Traute Moore led to a meeting with
the Huener family, owners of the land
Quail Run occupies. They endorsed the
artistic concept and
after all of the liability
and location issues
had thoroughly been
investigated and
addressed, the project
was given the green
light to proceed.
Then it was all up
to Cheryl to create
the giant sculptural
flowers she had
always dreamed
of creating. With
the largest flower
over twelve feet tall,
special engineering
was required to
accommodate a
design over six feet
in diameter at the
top. The huge scale
required heavier
reinforcement and added complexity and
mass to the evolving pieces which have
a zero impact footprint on the vineyard
property. Cheryl lovingly and carefully
designed, planned and prepared the pieces
to accommodate the complexity involved
in building, finishing and transporting
each piece for final installation.
The results were breathtaking and
showed the potential for incredible public
art collaborations between vintners and
artists. While the tasting rooms have long
been standard accommodation for artistic
shows and residencies, displaying the
artworks into the vineyards has proven to
be an incredibly successful partnership.
The visibility enjoyed by the artist is
balanced by the interest and landmark
quality the pieces provide to the vintners.
Even though the installation lies
about half a mile beyond the city limits,
Jacksonville residents have proudly
adopted the pieces as emblematic of their
tenacious community springing back in a
new gold rush of arts and culture.

W
elcome to the monthly
“Chamber Chat”! We want to
share a fun “did you know?”
in our “chat” this month, so grab your
coffee, sit down with
the “Review,” and join
us in learning some
interesting tidbits about
the Jacksonville Trolley.
Many of you see the
bright red, brass Trolley
parked on 3rd and
California all summer,
hauling visitors and
residents around town
sharing some of our
rich history. “Stan the Trolley Man” ran
the Trolley from 1984-1993. The Chamber
of Commerce then leased the Trolley
from Rogue Valley Transit District till
December 2005. “RVTD” then donated the
Classic Trolley to the City of Jacksonville,
honoring its 20 years of operation here
and giving it a permanent home. In 2006,
the City of Jacksonville began leasing it to
the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce.
Now, throughout the summer and into
early September, and for some off season
events, the Trolley operation continues.
Under the umbrella of the Chamber's
Board of Directors, a Trolley Board
manages the daily function, advertising,
promotion, and use of the Trolley.
Funding and/or support, from sources
such as the private rentals, admission
charges, etc. keep the Trolley operating
and profitable, but without the backbone
and generous support of the Trolley
advertisers, its maintenance and upkeep
would not be possible. The next time you
ride the Trolley, notice the advertisers
posted inside and take time to thank them
for their support.
We estimate in 2009 we had 5000+
riders during the core season. Residents
and visitors from all over the world enjoy
the Trolley and the amazing history
provided on each ride. During the 45
minute journey, one of a dedicated group
of volunteer “docents,” in full Victorian
dress, tells the history
and story of our town.
The Trolley has
a rich and busy
Jacksonville life! It is
rented for excursions,
weddings, carolers,
and special groups.
The “Britt Festival”
contracts with it to
provide concert goers
free transportation
during the performance season. The Britt
contract is an example of a wonderful
working partnership that helps maintain
the Trolley operation, as well as offering
a unique experience for those attending
the concerts.
Last year our Trolley was broken and
ill for several months! With a new motor,
tires, exhaust system, and a new found
energy, it is ready to go this summer! Next
on the list is a much-needed refurbishing
and restoration of the beautiful wood
work and trim. The Chamber hopes
for continued donations, support, and
talent in tackling that project as well. We
look forward to 2011 with more riders,
excursions, and fun uses of the Trolley
to enhance our visitors’ Jacksonville
experience and bring them back!
The Chamber invites you to join us
at our monthly general meetings, at the
Bella Union. Held the second Thursday of
each month at 5:30 pm, we offer a relaxed,
and informative time to socialize and
connect with the business community. See
you May12th!

185 N Oregon St., or call the office at 541-899-

Mark Your Calendars – Art Amble Returns
to Downtown May 27!
Well-known Jacksonville artist Anne
Brooke was instrumental in forming an
organization of local artists known as
“Art Presence.” The idea was simple – to
encourage and develop
an art presence in
town and to create
venues for artists and
the public to meet one
another, interact and
encourage patronage.
Since its inception
two years ago, AP has
displayed local art
at public events and
gatherings, including
the 150th Celebrations,
JWA Hike-a-Thon’s,
the Heritage Society
Courthouse benefit
and Britt opening day
street celebrations.
Along with committee members
Katherine Gracey, Dianne Erickson,
Cheryl Garcia and Hannah West, Brooke
and twenty other local artists have a new
project – bringing back the Friday Art
Amble to downtown Jacksonville. Anne

Kids Rock at Britt This Summer!
Applications are now being accepted
for Britt’s first annual Rock Camp. Rock
Camp will be held July 18-22, 2011, and is
focused on regional musicians, ages 13-17,
with intermediate ability on guitar, bass,
drums or keyboard. As part of a new slate
of educational programs offered by Britt
this year, Rock Camp is designed to bring
young musicians together, and will offer
hands-on on instruction in electric guitar,
electric bass, drums and keyboard. The
camp will include performing as bands,
song arranging, sound systems, recording
techniques, vocals and more.
Students will also get an insider’s peek
at the Britt concerts that week.
Rock Camp’s faculty is comprised of
high-caliber musicians from the West
Coast: Teri Cote, Bob DiChiro, Jeff
Pevar, Dirk Price and David Scoggin.
Collectively, the faculty has decades
of national and international touring,
recording and teaching experience.
Multi-instrumentalist Jeff Pevar,
who has worked with artists such as
Crosby, Stills & Nash, Ray Charles, Joe
Cocker, James Taylor, Jefferson Starship
and others, says, “I am thrilled at the
opportunity to be of service to the
young aspiring musicians attending the
upcoming Britt Rock Camp. I wish I could
have gone to something like this when I
was learning to play.”
Tuition for Rock Camp is $300. Space

Institute hosts a wide variety of learning
opportunities through a multi-faceted
approach of summer camps, workshops,
grade school programs, lectures and adult
learning opportunities.

Sterling Mine Ditch Trail: Don’t Miss the National
Trails Day Grand Re-Opening!
The historic Sterling Mine Ditch Trail
(SMDT) in the Applegate Valley will be
officially reopened on June 4th as part
of a celebration of National Trails Day®.
National Trails Day (NTD) is sponsored
by the American Hiking Society and is a
nationwide trails celebration that brings
together trails enthusiasts to participate
in trail dedications, educational exhibits,
trail work projects, and other events. NTD
was created to promote public awareness
of America’s trails and the people who
build and maintain them, promote the
health benefits of trails, and to build
partnerships among all those involved
with trails.
In late 2009, a group of Applegate
and Rogue Valley residents formed the
Siskiyou Upland Trails Association, or
SUTA, with the mission of developing
trails for non-motorized use that connect
the trail systems in Jacksonville and
Ashland. A link to the SMDT is part
of that future trail network. SUTA has
coordinated with the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) to help organize
more than 700 hours of work by SUTA
volunteers clearing and maintaining the
trail. BLM dedicated American Recovery
and Reinvestment
Act (Stimulus)
funds for trail
maintenance
and sent crews
to clear the most
overgrown sections,
perform tread
work and other
trail improvements,
and install new
trailhead signs.
Now, after more
than a year of
dedicated efforts, 18 miles of the SMDT
is open and accessible to hikers, runners,
equestrians, and mountain bikers.
To celebrate the reopening of this great
recreational resource, SUTA and BLM
are co-sponsoring several events as part
of National Trails Day. These include a
ribbon-cutting ceremony to recognize the
efforts of groups and individuals who
have been instrumental in working on the
trail, self-guided hikes at all trailheads, a
kid’s nature walk, and guided wildflower
and bird hikes. SUTA volunteers will
be located at each trailhead to provide
information about the trail and points
of interest, maps, and refreshments.
There will also be an independent, self-
supported trail run along the entire 18
miles of the trail beginning at the Little
Applegate Trailhead and ending at the
Deming Gulch Trailhead.
The SMDT is a historic trail that
follows most of the original 26.5 mile
ditch that was dug in the 1870’s to carry
water to support mining activities at
the Sterling gold mine. The berm along
the ditch became a hiking trail under
BLM jurisdiction after the ditch was
decommissioned in the 1930’s. Over
the years, parts of the trail became

overgrown and fell out of use, but now,
with the energy and enthusiasm of
SUTA volunteers and BLM support and
deployment of trail crews, nearly the
entire length of the trail is once again
open. The SMDT has some unique
cultural features such as mostly intact
rock walls, a tunnel, and remnants of
flumes visible in places. Except where
two sections of the trail climb a couple
hundred feet to bypass private property,
the ditch and trail are mostly level,
changing little in elevation over the entire
length – perfect for runners or those
wishing to take their families on an easy
hike. The trail traverses open meadows
and chaparral-like terrain with expansive
views of the Siskiyou Crest and Little
Applegate Valley, and dips into deeply
forested, shady draws that seem hidden
in the folds of the mountain. At many
points, trail visitors pass through stands
of large ponderosa pine, Douglas fir,
madrone, manzanita, and oaks as the trail
contours its way along the slopes above
the Little Applegate River and Sterling
Creek. The winter snow and rain have
provided ample water for several seasonal
creeks and small waterfalls along the trail,
and wildflowers
are abundant
through the
spring.
We invite the
community to
come out and
celebrate with
us on June 4th
(or anytime!)
and become
acquainted with
this wonderful
recreational
resource in our backyard. Details for the
NTD celebration and events are posted on
the SUTA website: http://www.sutaoregon.
org/.If you’d like to volunteer to support
the events, you may contact us through the
website.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony will be
held at 11 AM at the Deming Trailhead,
and this will also be the location for the
kids’ walk immediately following the
ceremony. Directions to the trailhead
are: follow Sterling Creek Road where
it begins at Cady Road in Jacksonville
about 8.5 miles to Armstrong-Deming
Road. If you are coming from Ruch or
Applegate, turn onto Sterling Creek Road
at Buncom and go 1.5 miles to Armstrong-
Deming Road. Follow the left fork (a short
distance from the turn) approximately
a mile to the well-marked trailhead.
There will be parking, information and
trail maps, refreshments, and more for
the entire family. Before or after the
ceremony, explore this section of the
SMDT, or visit other sections of the trail
from the Armstrong Gulch trailhead
(follow the right fork of Armstrong-
Deming Road), or the Little Applegate
Road trailheads – Bear Gulch, Tunnel
Ridge, or Little Applegate.

The Unfettered Critic
by Paula Block Erdmann & Terry Erdmann
Wild About Harry: Harry Potter
& the End of The Road
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,
Part One, the DVD of last fall’s film
release, recently materialized in stores,
triggering much excitement among
muggles everywhere, and spelling jittery
anticipation for the good and evil yet to
debut in Part 2 on July 15.
You can count us among Harry’s
minions; we’re fans of the movies and
even bigger devotees of the books.
Anything that motivates young (and
not so young) people to sit down and
read – in this case,
the astounding 4,178
pages that make up
the seven Potter
tomes – thrills us to
pieces. Admittedly,
author J.K. Rowling
ain’t Steinbeck – she
ain’t (okay, isn’t) even
Tolkien – but reading
her books might
inspire inexperienced
readers to work their
way up to Steinbeck
(after they run out of
choices in the “fantasy
books” section).
Warner Brothers
was smart to split the
final book into two
epic films. At first
glance it may appear to be a decision
contrived by the studio’s profit pushers:
(“OMG! – it’s the last book! No more
Potter revenue… unless... yes – that’s it!
We’ll split it into two movies!”). But keep
in mind that Deathly Hallows runs 784
pages. That many pages, or an equitable
amount of film footage, is needed to
untangle the myriad story threads that
Rowling dangles before us in the Potter
saga. The book resolves all the secrets,
cleverly kills a passel of beloved and
not-so-beloved-able characters, and even
conjures a bit of amore for some of the
others. Accomplishing all that is a trick
that, even with the use of a transforming
polyjuice potion, would have been hard
to craft – even if into one very long movie.
One hopes that in splitting Deathly
Hallows into two films the producers have
managed to save a perfect portion for
the second half to gracefully maneuver
the thin line between “too much” and
“not enough.” You may remember
the seemingly countless sequential

endings in the final episode in The Lord
of the Rings film trilogy. We love that
trilogy and that final movie, yet from a
cinematic standpoint the multiple endings
were cringingly awkward. And even
so – Tolkien completists still objected that
yet other dénouements from the book
weren’t tacked on as well.
On the whole, Deathly Hallows, Part
One is more emotionally satisfying than
earlier installments of the Potter playlist.
By emotionally satisfying, of course, we
mean satisfying
to adult members
of the audience,
like us. We’re not
sure if youngsters
find it satisfying
in the same way.
In fact, we’re
not even sure
that very young
children should
be watching
Deathly Hallows.
The films,
like the books
that spawned
them, grow
progressively
darker as the
series progresses,
surprisingly dark,
in fact, for stories originally looked on
as children’s fare. Still, if the moppets
are old enough to have read the print
versions, they’ve likely developed the
proper perspective on the horrors that
haunt Harry’s soul. They’ll understand
that collateral damage is pervasive in
Harry’s life. He’s “the boy who lived”
when his parents did not. He witnessed a
schoolmate’s murder in The Goblet of Fire,
saw his godfather meet an untimely end
in The Order of the Phoenix, and watched
the execution of his beloved mentor in
The Half-Blood Prince. Presumably, if the
young ones have digested those events
with no ill effects, they’re equipped for
The Deathly Hollows, Part One, and the
upcoming Part Two.
As for the rest if us, not even the threat
of a dementor’s kiss should keep us away.
Paula and Terry Each have long impressive-
sounding resumes implying that they are
battle-scarred veterans of life within the
Hollywood studios. They’re now happily
relaxed into Jacksonville.
Britt News!
In a move to enhance the Britt concert
experience for patrons, Britt will expand
concessions this summer to provide
increased food and beverage options for
concert patrons, along with pre-concert
entertainment.
Britt recently signed an agreement with
Northwest-based company West Coast
Events, a leader in managing concessions
for major entertainment venues. The new
menu will include pizza, Greek, Asian
and American food options.
Dan Finley of West Coast Events
says, “We’re thrilled to be the new food
provider at Britt. We’ll be offering varied
menus of traditional and ethnic cuisine,
providing patrons with expanded
options, and convenient ways for them
to enjoy a variety of great meals on the
Britt hill. We believe these exciting new
food and beverage options will greatly
enhance the experience of an evening on
the beautiful Britt hill.”
Also new this year, Britt is expanding
wine and beer options. This is a
change from Britt’s long-time exclusive
relationship with Valley View Winery.
Owner Mark Wisnovsky says, “Valley
View is proud of our 30-year relationship
with Britt and is looking forward to
having several Valley View and Anna
Maria wines on the hill this year, as
well as an excellent selection from other
southern Oregon wineries.”
Expanding the wine options provides
Britt with more options for the consumer.
Britt Executive Director Jim Fredericks says,
“southern Oregon is known for its incredible
diversity of high quality wines, and we’re
excited about the opportunity to showcase
many of them on the hill this season.”
Consulting with local experts, Britt will
also introduce “green” bottle sales for
the wine program, using wine kegs and
refillable bottles. In addition, Britt will also
offer bottle sales from some of the area’s
leading vintners. Wisnovsky adds, “The
wines-by-the-keg program will dramatically
decrease the amount of glass bottles used
and will continue the southern Oregon
wine industry’s mission to reduce the
environmental impact of our organizations.”
The wineries participating in the new
keg program are all local. They are as
follows: Rosella’s, Wooldridge Creek,
Folin, Valley View Winery, Troon, Quady
North, & EdenVale.
Three other local wineries will sell wine

Humidity in Your Home
by Spring Air
You may have heard the old saying
“it’s not the temperature, it’s the
humidity.” That saying is also true
when you are talking about the comfort
inside your home. Not only can the
humidity level in your home affect your
comfort, it can also be harmful to your
home and affect your health, as well.
If your indoor humidity level is too low
you could experience:
• Chronic physical symptoms such
as sore throats, dry/itchy skin, nose
bleeds or sinus irritation.
• Your wood floors can shrink and
begin to crack. Joints in wooden
furniture become loose and
eventually fail.
• Pianos and other musical instruments
fall out of tune.
• Wall paper can begin to peel. Paint or
plaster can start to crack.
• If your indoor humidity level is too
high you could experience:
• Mold and mildew formed on your
walls making your asthma and
allergies worse.

Pavers were laid last month for a new
concessions patio, called the Table Rock
City Café. Table Rock City was the original
name of Jacksonville, from the early 1850s.
The patio is located behind the booth that
will now be used for wine and beer, and
will include tables and chairs in a level area.
The new concessions patio will
also have a small stage for a new pre-
concert performance series, the Table
Rock Concert Series, consisting of pre-
concert entertainment provided by local
musicians, students involved in Britt’s
educational programs, and others. The
series will provide Britt audiences with
exposure to new artists and talented
students, and allow diners to enjoy
quality entertainment prior to the start
of concerts. Artists for the Table Rock
Concert Series will be announced later
this spring. Artists who are interested
in being considered should submit their
information online at brittfest.org.
Britt Festivals invites audiences
and artists to celebrate the joy of live
performance, the power of community,
and the magic of the Britt Experience.
Through on-going education and audience
development programs, Britt educates
new generations of listeners, helping
them discover the wonder of music and
performance. In addition to presenting
concerts, Britt Festivals maintains a formal
education program through the Britt
Institute. Established in 1985, the Britt
Institute hosts a wide variety of learning
opportunities through a multi-faceted
approach of summer camps, workshops,
grade school programs, lectures and adult
learning opportunities.

Garden Variety
by Michael Altman

Right Back Achoo!

O
ne of the most uniquely
pungent and easiest herbs to
cultivate is horseradish. We’ve
become accustomed to some Asian
varieties such as wasabi and daikon, but
I’m still a fan of common horseradish
root-bearing plants.
Horseradish (Armoracia rusticana)
is best purchased as a growing plant,
though it’s easy to propagate through
cuttings once we have a few plants
growing in rich soil with full sun.
The main reason horseradish is my
go-to plant for May is because
it’s probably the most easily
attainable garden medicine
for seasonal allergies. Just dig
it up, wash, grate, salt, and eat
it – slowly. The fresh stuff is like a
.357 to a store-bought .22. Not only
is horseradish a potent source of
antibacterial sulfur compounds,
it’s also a great bronchodilator,
facilitating respiration. If you
tend to get springtime pollen
allergies, it’s easy to use regularly,
grated into salads for more than a little
zing. We can also prepare it with some
vinegar and salt. Grate it with beets,
carrots, and cabbage and make alluring
sauerkraut – you wouldn’t be the first.
We can add horseradish to mustard,
or make our own, yielding a medicinal
blend with even more anti-microbial
potency, further preventing congestion
and allergies from turning into asthma
or a full-fledged sinus infection. Lastly,
horseradish is antispasmodic to the lungs
and allays coughing.
The results of regular horseradish
consumption are far superior to any
medication you can take for allergies,
without the sleepiness or dryness. If
offending bacteria, but they also adversely
affect the beneficial bacteria that populate
our gut. This negative effect is very
significant, and equally underappreciated,
since important components of our
immune system are housed within our
lower digestive tract. Another problem
is that when we use antibiotics for
allergies, research indicates that their use
can lead to more intense and frequent
asthma symptoms, as well as eczema,
other so called “atopic” conditions. A
third problem is increasing resistance
to antibiotics, which is becoming more
frequent, rendering existing
antibiotics less effective.
The asthma and
allergy medication
commercials on TV
seem to indicate we’re
helpless to overcome
these conditions.
Nonsense. There
are a number of herbs
and other supplements
that are worthwhile for
experimentation while your horseradish
is growing. Higher vegetable and fruit
intake generally help overcome allergy
and asthma symptoms, especially with
kids. We can also take 300 milligrams
of quercetin, a plant nutrient found in
onions and apples, 3-4 times per day
away from food. It’s a good safe start and
also helps with itchy eyes. Some good
combination herbal formulas are on the
market that you can discuss with an
herbalist, nutritionist, or competent health
food store clerk. Probiotics, the beneficial
bacteria available as supplements or in
cultured foods like yogurt, also help
improve allergy symptoms.

Creating Outdoor Living Areas WHAT TO BRING WHAT NOT TO BRING

C
reating an outdoor living area
that serves as a natural retreat
or functional room will not
only change your lifestyle but might just
change your life!
Outdoor living areas provide areas to
entertain, spend time with family and
friends, and to simply enjoy ones natural
surroundings. Here in Jacksonville, our
great climate means there’s plenty of
days to use outdoor space. Some common
outdoor living area features include fire
pits, gazebos, water features, fountains,
outdoor kitchens, patios, decks, screened-
in porches, outdoor lighting, outdoor play
structures, pools and hot tubs.
Bringing the elements of nature to an
outdoor living area helps create a restful
and relaxing environment. An example
of this is outdoor fireplaces, which are
gaining in popularity – this can be as
simple and inexpensive as purchasing
a fire ring or as in-depth as building an
outdoor fire place.
The sound, sight and feel of water is
another way of bringing nature to your
outdoor space. Again, this can be as easy
as purchasing a small fountain or building
a large and in-depth water feature with
water falls, pools and streams. We enjoy
these things in our landscape because they
bring nature to us.
Defining space is important – building
patios and decks that define proper
spaces is very popular and helps create
a defined outdoor environment. Structure
and definition are also very important
consideration and are most often achieved
by using outdoor lighting. Outdoor lighting
creates definition and perspective that
would otherwise go unnoticed and lost.
Over the years, the most frequent
feedback I’ve received from clients
who’ve built outdoor living spaces is
the dramatic increase in time spent
outside. All note it was worth creating
outdoor places for to dine, relax, and
unwind. Recently, one client who was
considering moving in order to have more
entertaining room, opted instead to create
an outdoor entertaining area with a patio
cover, outdoor kitchen and large seating
area. The newly constructed outdoor
living area essentially added a new dream
kitchen/great room to their beloved
home, enabling them to remain in their
wonderful neighborhood for years to
come at a fraction of the price of moving
and remodeling!

Wine Talkers

re you thirsty for summer yet?
Tasting rooms, new and old, are
gearing up to accept your sun-
kissed attention.
A sweeping way for oenophiles to
explore the Applegate Valley occurs on
May 22, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., when
more than a dozen wineries will share
from their barrels, serve delicious paired
dishes and offer tours of their behind-the-
scenes activities.
Tickets to the Spring Uncorked
Barrel Tour are $39 and are available
through the wineries or online at http://
applegatewinetrail.com
New Owners of Applegate Red
The old Applegate Red Winery has
been closed to the public since owner
Frank Ferreira died suddenly during the
2008 harvest, leaving no instructions for
the future of his vineyard property.
Finally, good news. The vineyard will
be open again during the Uncorked
Barrel Tour and Memorial Day weekend.
Slowly, new owner Dick Braden hopes
to renovate Ferreira’s humble Hawaiian-
themed tasting room and eventually build
a new 5,000-square-foot tasting room on
the top of the hill.
Braden is an affable almond and olive
farmer with 16,000 producing acres in
California. He bought the vineyard last
summer from the Ferreira family and
changed the name to Serra Vineyards.
His daughter Krissa Fernandes and her
husband Scott will be in charge, working
with Herb Quady and Applegate Valley
Vineyard Management Company to
oversee the vineyards and Greg Paneitz
and Kara Olmo of Wooldridge Creek
Winery as the winemakers. Liz Wan of
VinoVerse Consulting is on board, too.
In April, Braden had 1,000 lavender
plants and 400 six-foot-tall olive trees
added to the 75-acre property. He’s
putting in more vines, too, to have 17 acres
of Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon,
Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Tempranillo.
Bottled and ready to be tasted are
Serra’s Syrah and red blend, made from
the Applegate Red vineyard fruit, and
Chardonnay and rosé from Wooldridge
Creek fruit.
Braden says he’s happy to finally own
the land, after being shut out at first by a
faster-acting buyer.
Braden needed to console himself
because he had fallen in love with the
The Jacksonville Review
area. So he purchased the 50 acres that
include Windridge Vineyard and another
140 acres, also in Cave Junction.
Then the Applegate vineyard sale fell
through and Braden was able to buy it, too.
He plans to re-open the original
Applegate Red tasting room for the
Uncorked tour. The simple wood
structure was pure Ferreira. It was awash
in bougainvillea red paint with a white
“Aloha” greeting and other hand-painted
signs: “Wanted: Sugar Mama” and “I hope
my ship comes in before my dock rots!”
Ferreira was a lovable, stubborn,
self-taught vintner of Hawaiian and
Portuguese descent who lived in a
paradise of his own creation with 30
miniature Sicilian donkeys and hundreds
of exotic birds. He didn’t believe in
computers, cell phones or irrigation.
Braden, on the other hand, is installing
an elaborate irrigation system that he can
monitor with an iPhone app.

Bottle Yourself
The crew at venerable Troon Vineyard
seems to always be inventing new ways
to experience wine. Their just-launched
Bottle Your Own Program allows you to
sip for less.
On Sundays and Thursdays, customers
can fill their own clean, 750-ml container
with wine for only $10. If you don’t have
an empty wine bottle hanging around,
you can buy one on the spot.
At Troon’s Filling Station, you can
choose between Trifecta’s 2008 Pinot Noir,
Pinot Gris or red blend.
“The motivation for the Trifecta
program was always about offering great
Oregon wine at a great price,” says Chris
Martin of Troon.
Martin was one of the pioneers, along
with Wooldridge Creek and Rosella’s
Vineyard, to distribute wine in eco- and
cost-friendly kegs, thus sidestepping the

Considering Beer
by Ginger Johnson
eer this month, specifically Craft
Beer, should be on any Rogue
Valley residents’ agenda to
celebrate. Why? Because the nationally
and congressionally recognized American
Craft Beer Week happens May 16th –
22nd this year. It’s a fun filled effort
on the part of the Brewers Association
(BA) to create a big active buzz around
American craft beer and it’s worth getting
stoked about. House Resolution
1297 (2006) gave it the thumbs
up with our USA House of
Representatives stating that
they are “supporting the
goals and ideals of American
Craft Beer Week.”
Why (again)? Because the
brewers in our nation contribute a
great deal to our community. Consider
a few beer facts today:
1. There are over 1700 craft brewers in
the country right now, over 600+ in
planning, and at least 9 in Southern
Oregon alone.
2. Craft brewers operate in 344
congressional districts and the
majority of Americans live within 10
miles of a brewery.
3. Breweries put down roots in
their communities which drive
employment, commerce, family
involvement with the industry and
give back generously in many ways
to their communities.
4. When you contribute to the
community, you contribute to
our economy, you support local
businesses and the paychecks they
generate not only for the workers at
the breweries. The paychecks of all
the people who create the quality
of life in the towns in which the
breweries are located factor in too.
The BA, the authoritative body for the
industry, defines “Craft Beer” as “small,
independent and traditional.” You can
get a full explanation on their website,
BrewersAssociation.org. In addition to the
definition, it’s chock full of great info that
you can use to grow your beer knowledge
in general. It’s one of my most used and
accessible resources. (CraftBeer.com, too)
Celebrating an industry driven by
people who are innovative, thoughtful,
engaged, intelligent, resourceful, fun,
and solid members of their communities
is what beer is all about. That they
Page 23
invest hundreds of thousands of dollars
in equipment, people power, supplies,
materials, and so forth should also be
recognized and respected. The passion of
the people in the craft beer community
cannot be understated and goes without
question. They are responsible family
oriented folk who are in it for the long haul.
Is there some ‘bad’ craft beer out
there? Well, every product needs to have
measures in the structure to ensure
high quality standards, which is
important for the entire category.
And the craft brewers do a pretty
darn good job at monitoring
the beer and helping each other
out. It’s one of the most sharing,
collegial and supportive groups of
people I have ever encountered.
‘Good’ beer is very subjective. Replace
the word ‘good’ with quality. Be a geek
and bee accepting of all beer when you
are enjoying beer, craft or otherwise
(imports, etc.). Beer is an ancient
beverage, is universal in its availability
and premise, and is designed to be
enjoyed responsibly.
There’s much to celebrate for craft beer
in the Valley. Support your local brewer
and you support your community. Happy
American Craft Beer Week!

Week can be found on Craftbeer.com,

Healthy Aging
by Gail E. Myers
The Gift of Talking It Over
D O
o you know what your senior
relatives think or worry about?
What should aging parents
need to understand about their options
and opportunities? If you’re a care-giver
how well do you know the deepest
concerns of those elderly you’re giving
your time and affection?
Last month the Coffee Club of the
Asante Foundation celebrated a kickoff
of a campaign supporting future legacies
for young children. They also watched a
PowerPoint overview of Sharon Johnson’s
Mastery of Aging five-module internet
series and DVD’s.
Following that Aging program I chatted
informally with a number of public-
spirited Asante supporters. Many had
interesting ideas about interacting with
aging family members, with elderly
relatives and senior friends.
They shared ideas on how families
can successfully talk together about
even difficult subjects.
They believe that real
caring for aging dear
ones requires talking
things over – whether it
was their own parents,
grandparents, other
families or neighbors.
Their informed focus
on family concerns
reminded me how
important “talking it over” is for healthy
aging, and geriatric care and planning.
Borrowing from geriatric counselor Ellen
Waldman’s advice in a publication she gave
me called, “It’s a Win-Win Conversation”
she warns it may feel awkward sometimes
to engage parents or senior friends in talk
about their aging, finances, health, end-
of-life care or other concerns often hidden
inside them. But all family members – both
young and old – must take a timely
approach to talking.
Putting off sharing “what ifs” runs
the risk of even well-intentioned people
finding themselves in the middle of a
crisis or confusion just when it is hard to
think straight.
The message in the words “Let’s talk”
has an underlying message, “I care about
you.” Children and parents sincerely
want to know what their partners-in-
decisions really think, feel, desire, or
need. All ages should talk together and
particularly should listen. Changing
parent-child relations of who is taking
care of whom may be hard to adjust to.
Shared trust can be a way to adjust long-
The Jacksonville Review
time roles of authority and responsibility.
If families find that it’s hard to
talk about some topics, a counseling
professional can suggest ways to
help them open up; sensitively
motivating family members to engage
more comfortably in discussions at a
meaningful level. or wanting to make it “OK” for everybody
Families are not all exactly alike.
Members have individual talking
styles and histories of agreement or
disagreement. Circumstances facing aging
parents also vary widely, so decisions
need to be tailored for each individual as
you consider his or her future – relating
to health, finances, personal lifestyles,
physical and emotional needs. Unique
individual situations can best be
approached by concerned, committed,
open minded, and sharing people talking
honestly and frankly with each other. It
may be a sensitive challenge for everyone
to overcome reluctance and talk patiently
together about
sensitive issues like
debilitating illness,
memory loss,
money, personal
dependence, or
end-of-life care.
Here are some
examples of topics
families may need
to talk about. (a)
How things are right now. (b) Options
for getting help in an emergency, and
anticipating problems. (c) Legal issues
like wills, trusts, powers of attorney,
“living will,” end-of-life care, medical
decisions. (d) Staying “at home” or
what sort of facility is most appropriate.
(e) Costs of options or levels of care
anticipated. (f) Medical services, access,
records, insurance support, medication
monitoring. (g) Agreement on end-of-
life plans and courage to face individual
wishes of parents.
If talking seems like a daunting project
to take on – it may be. But be assured, the
payoff from early, open, shared talking
and planning is one of the greatest gifts
families make to each other.

Peaceful Resolutions
ccasionally I’ve suffered from
a syndrome I call “Peace at all
costs.” Sometimes it’s a good
thing. I just accept “what is” and don’t feel
the need to be “right,” – but I have to check
with myself that the attitude isn’t coming
from an underlying fear of confrontation,
else, causing me to overlook
my position or my needs.
At times like this, I
need to ask myself: “Am I
compromising my emotional
well-being?” If so, why?
Fear of confrontation, or
of rejection, often is the
cause for not expressing
one’s needs. Or perhaps the
emotional seed behind this
may be a childhood fear
that asks, “Am I good enough?” We may
subconsciously fear that if we aren’t “good”
enough or agreeable enough, we’ll lose
the affection, acceptance and love of those
we care about. The physiological impact
of fear is experienced in our bodies in the
same way, whether it’s fear of a rattlesnake,
fear of being broke or fear of confrontation.
An alarm goes off – and the body jerks
into protection mode, creating stress and
shutting down our ability to process what
is really happening. After all FEAR is False
Evidence Appearing Real. “Peace at all
costs” sometimes only creates the illusion of
peaceful resolution, while inside our internal
organs and blood streams are engaged in an
emotional war of resentment and hurt.
The truth is that when we can clearly
and peacefully express our needs, we give
ourselves and others the opportunity to
understand and embrace who we really
are and not the person we feel we need
to be. Expressing our needs nurtures our
self-respect, and it can deepen the love
and compassion in our heart for our self
and others.
Recently, I stepped beyond “Peace at
all cost” and embraced an opportunity
for a peaceful resolution. I engaged in a
discussion where I let my heart be the
leader. I felt the fear but stayed present, as
anchored as I could with the peace and love
in my heart. I experienced both rejection
and the confirmation, that in this situation,
from the other person’s view, I wasn’t
enough. Ouch! We have to love ourselves
enough to accept the other person’s point
of view. Yes, I was deeply saddened and
disappointed, but somehow staying in my
heart, aligned with my true self, through the
sadness, I felt a deep sense of peace. I felt so
May 2011
much love and compassion for myself.
More and more, the medical profession
talks about how love and compassion
have tremendous health benefits. “When
we are in a loving state, our hearts go
into coherent heart rhythms," says Rollin
McCraty, director of research at the Institute
of HeartMath. "This is because the two
halves of the nervous system
are in sync and operating much
more efficiently together. That
allows the body to go through
its natural regenerative process,"
he explains. "If we feel love
and compassion, it boosts our
immune system.”
Resolving our inner anger and/
or conflict is a crucial place to start
the process of opening up to the
possibility of peaceful resolution.
Here is a simple and powerful yoga practice
to help you get started. It balances the
meridians of the body, helps to clear inner
conflict and eases the mind and body:
Tattva Balance
• Sitting with a straight spine, spread your
fingers wide apart, with the fingertips of
each hand pressing together. With your
thumbs pointed toward your body and
your palms apart, your hands will look
like a teepee.
• Starting with a deep breath through
your nose (into the belly), exhale
through rounded lips with eight
puffs, pulling in your navel on each
powerful exhale.
• With eyes barely open, focus on the
tip of your nose or fingertips. You can
imagine a river running through the
center of your hands with the current
going away from you. With each exhale,
let mental tension, conflict(s) or fears
flow out. Imagine those things being
taken away by the current as you release
them. Continue for 1 to 3 minutes.
Once you are at peace with yourself,
the next step is to discuss the issue with the
people concerned, if possible. You may not
get all your needs met or have things go
your way. At best, you may mutually agree
to disagree. But when we cultivate a peaceful
heart, it allows us to come from a more
loving heart. This gives us the opportunity
to be in harmony with ourselves. From there
we can achieve truly peaceful resolutions in
any situation, in all areas of our lives so we
can live a healthier and more Joy-Full Life.
Remember to take time to breathe.

Soul Matters
by Kate Ingram, M.A.
I
know people say you should never
discuss sex, politics or religion in
polite company, but I’ve never been
one to adhere to what “people” say. I like
talking about all three, and I think it’s
time these topics come out of the closet
and join the conversation. So here goes.
We recently journeyed to San Francisco,
an amazing place for any number of
reasons, one of the more obvious and
unique ones being its habit of providing
a haven for those who do not always fit
neatly into proscribed boxes. It is a city that
embraces diversity in general, and sexual
preferences in particular. People of all colors
and creeds and sexual proclivities live
together cheek by jowl with surprisingly
little conflict. It’s impressive.
My brother and his wife, for instance,
live sandwiched between a lesbian couple
with two adopted daughters on the right
and a gay couple with an old Golden
Retriever on the left, and everyone is
extremely neighborly. Outside their front
door women hold hands with women,
men with men, and men with women.
On any given day you will see men in
their predominantly gay neighborhood in
various stages of undress, cross dress and
outlandish over-the-top dress walking
down the street and no one blinks, let
alone stares – unless, of course, they just
arrived from Wichita.
I lived in San Francisco for more than
ten years and during that decade my
circle of friends reflected the diverse and
opulent face of the larger population. In
fact, some of my closest friends (as they
say) were very openly gay or bisexual.
So normal was this that I scarcely gave it
more than a passing thought. It was not
particularly relevant to our friendships,
no more so than the fact that I was
heterosexual, although it definitely added
a richer, more multi-faceted perspective
to my experience.
Looking back now, I realize how very
unusual and fortunate my experience of
those years was. It’s easy to forget, living
in the midst of that city, that the rest of
the country is not as liberal or tolerant,
let alone embracing, of such open
expressions of individuality.
I find it incomprehensible that in this
day and age there is an on-going, heated
debate regarding the validity of same-sex
marriage. I must have missed something,
because I was under the impression that
the Bill of Rights applied to everyone, not
just straight people. The argument against
allowing two people who love each
other and who are willing to publicly
commit to that union degrades and
ostracizes those who cannot, by virtue of
a specific configuration and compilation
of genes or fate, comfortably fit into the
limited parameters of what someone else
considers “normal” and “acceptable.”
The smallness of such thinking, of such
a limited imagination is a losing attitude:
we all lose a little bit of vitality, a little bit
of our souls when we segregate others
in this way. We are far too comfortable

Applegate Valley
Real Estate
by Debbie and Don Tollefson
Impact of National Real Estate Trends
F
or the last five years, local rural
property owners and aspiring ones
have been attempting to predict how
national trends will impact them. With the
economy tied to national and international
events, all new variables are making buyers,
sellers and realtors a little crazy.
In recent columns, we have talked
about local stats and trends – here, let’s
examine some national trends that filter
down to our local rural real estate market.
Most national trends say that prices for
most rural real estate will start rising
steadily. Rates of appreciation will vary
according to where the property is and
the character of the property.
The predictors say that growth areas of
rural real estate will be affected greatly by
location. The national trend is away from
arid areas, areas with harsh winters to
areas with milder climates and less volatile
weather. The quality of the location is
greatly enhanced by water sources. Here
in southern Oregon, we are fortunate
to have many sources of year round
water to enhance the lush beauty of the
environment. We can attest to this trend
in the Applegate Valley where buyers
recently bought an older fixer-upper (for
the same $) on a river instead of an almost-
new home on non-irrigated land with no
water running through the property.
National trends are also affected by
the local job market and state budgetary
solvency. California is losing many
retirees and workers because of the its
budget issues which include a reduction
of services as sales and gasoline taxes
are rising dramatically. Another national
trend affecting rural real estate is a move
away from farmland used for agriculture -
small rural farmers are finding it difficult
to make a profit when land is priced
too high. Slower rates of appreciation
make the investment more risky, as

well. In our area, most rural buyers
are retired – or will soon – and aren’t
interested in the work large-scale farms
takes. Interestingly, many more retirees
are moving to the area and are interested
in vineyards – which I guess no one told
them required work, too! The trend of
converting irrigated farmland into a
vineyard is a strong one in the Applegate
Valley. Nationally, high-profit crops, like
grapes, helps the rural real estate outlook
when climate and soil conditions support
those kind of cash crops.
Nationally, above-average appreciation
is forecasted for rural properties
around college and university towns,
and especially colleges that are seeing
increased enrollment. Above average
appreciation is also trending-up in
hardwood timber-covered rural parcels.
The price of hardwood has softened
during the last 10 years because it is tied
to home construction trends. Nationally,
however, timberland has proven a
sound long-term investments for both
individuals and institutions.
With the strength of the national
economic picture trending-up, the
lending picture for rural properties
needs to evolve, as well. Many banks and
mortgage companies seem to be afraid
of rural property transactions. We’ve
found that a property with an owner-
carry option may sell easier, quicker and
without the appraisal roadblocks that can
occur with a conventional rural loan.
In conclusion, the upward-trend
predictors is positive for the Applegate
Valley rural real estate market.

Sanctuary One at Double Oak Farm
by Robert Casserly
More and more local farmers are
getting into grapes. There are already
more than 50 featured stops on the
Southern Oregon Wineries Association’s
tour. In the Applegate Valley alone there
are 16 wineries and vineyards featured
on the “Applegate Wine Trail,” a clever
marketing ploy which makes one imagine
brave tourists clambering into Calistoga
wagons destined for the frontier up over
yonder Jacksonville Hill.
But before we collectively quaff too
much Chardonnay and skip ahead to the
Wine Rush, let’s recall that after the Gold
Rush petered out in Jacksonville, fruit
trees became worth their weight in gold.
So despite the gloomy
news recently about
the decline of big-time
local fruit producers
like Harry & David and
Associated Fruit, plenty
of small-time farmers
and gardeners have been
busy planting fruit trees,
and for good reason.
A community where
people have thought
ahead and planted lots
of fruit trees to feed lots
of people and animals
is a community that
is prepared for the
unexpected. The best time to plant a fruit
tree was 20 years ago. The next best time
is now.
Food security is the foundation of a
stable community, so it’s no surprise that
the resiliency of southern Oregonians to
survive tough times is inexorably linked
to fruit trees. In 1854, the Billings family
planted the first pear trees in the Rogue
Valley in the Valley View Road area. By
1860, numerous small apple orchards
were planted. The first commercial fruit
orchard was established in Medford in
1885 by J. H. Stewart and J. D. Whitman.
One of Jacksonville’s most celebrated
historical figures, Peter Britt (1819-1905),
planted fruit trees that are still producing
food to this day. By 1891, the growth of
the railroad allowed fruit from southern
Oregon to be shipped to places all over
the world. By 1930, there were 400
pear growers in Jackson County. Then,
unexpectedly, the Great Depression hit,
and a couple of hard freezes wiped out
fruit across southern Oregon, then a
blight struck and made a bad situation
worse. But things soon picked up again
when Harry and David Holmes began
a little mail order business selling gift
packages of fruit. You probably know
how that turned out.
May 2011
The growing season in the Jacksonville
area is 150 to 180 days. The abundant
sunshine we enjoy means fruit like apples,
pears, peaches, cherries, and apricots get
the sun they need to ripen to a delicious
sweetness. The Mediterranean climate
of southern Oregon helps prevent the
diseases that plague fruit trees growing in
moister climes like the Willamette Valley
and along the Pacific coast. The soil here
is generally fertile. Watering trees here
is relatively affordable, especially if you
install an efficient drip irrigation system
for your trees.
You don’t have to be a green-thumbed
genius to grow fruit trees in such
conditions. All you
have to do is do some
research, pick a suitable
kind of fruit tree, then
pay attention to the
tree’s needs from time
to time. Do that and
you’ll soon have a fruit
stand growing in your
backyard.
The Sanctuary’s
55-acre care farm has
enough acreage to plant
hundreds of fruit trees,
trees that could help
feed lots of hungry
people and animals.
Imagine how happy they’ll be when they
bite into the fresh organic apples, pears,
figs, plums, and other fruits that you
helped provide for them. Now imagine
it wouldn’t cost you a nickel to make it
happen. Sound too good to be true?
It’s true! We are happy to announce
that Sanctuary One has been selected as
a finalist for the 2011's "Communities
Take Root" contest. The 20 groups from
across the U.S. who garner the most
public support will receive a donation of
an entire fruit orchard and help planting
the trees, too. The contest is co-sponsored
by the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation of
Pittsburgh, Pa. and Dreyer’s Fruit Bars.
Please take a moment to visit www.
CommunitiesTakeRoot.com to cast your vote
for Sanctuary One. A couple of clicks of
the mouse is all it takes.
Past years’ orchard winners have received
approximately 5,000 votes, so we would
appreciate it if you vote and then ask your
family, friends, and co-workers to vote
for Sanctuary One. Everyone is allowed to
vote one time per day, so if you want extra
good-karma points, please consider casting
a daily vote for the Sanctuary.

The Armoire Revisited

A
rmoires have been loved pieces
of furniture for hundreds of
years. Their basic practicality
combined with simple to ornate
style details make them an item to be
treasured. With the advent of large-
screen TVs, many of us find ourselves
in possession of media cabinets that
no longer fit our modern lifestyle.
HomeWorx is dedicated to making our
homes work for us.
Sometimes, only minor modifications
are required to switch an armoire from
one storage purpose to another. Here are
several ideas for re-vamping outmoded
furniture into useful and beautiful
members of your household.
New Beginnings
Doors: wood paneled doors take on
new beauty when wallpapered, stenciled
or when the centers are removed and
replaced with artful glass. Door interiors
can become message boards, photo galleries
and children's art installations when
resurfaced with
corkboard, fabric
boards, or painted
with magnetic or
chalkboard paint
products.
Media pull-outs:
remove pull-out
shelves and re-
install at desktop
height to create a
work surface.
Shelving: open armoire doors and
visualize the inner space without the
existing shelving. Then, create your plan
and add shelving to repurpose the cabinet
to suit your needs.
Moveability: add plastic furniture
movers under cabinet legs. Even this
"non Gold's Gym gal" can move heavy
furniture with these great add-ons!
Serve It Up!
Entertainment storage for wine glasses,
serving trays, beverage accessories and
table linens is a must but often runs in
short supply. Delicate items become
readily accessible
and safely stored
within the doors of
a home entertaining
armoire. Add wine
glass racks, wine
bottle rack, shallow
baskets for linens.
Use stacking wire
shelves to maximize
storage of specialty
plates and cups. Armoires provide
vertical storage space and take up less
floor space than most sideboards – a nice
solution for small space living.
Homey Office
A repurposed armoire is a great
solution to contain a home office.
Individualize your space with stylish
storage boxes. Install upper shelves to
corral books and stacks of paper and
to store binders
of decorating
inspirations, how-
to guides and
household data. If
you need to create
drawers, install
wire rack storage
solutions that are
typically used in
kitchen, bath or
laundry cabinetry.
A few desktop organizers for writing
and cutting implements, plus your
computer, and voila! instant home office
in a small space. Close the doors and all
is tucked out of sight and mind.
Finishing Touches
Dressing yourself takes on a sense
of clothing boutique fun when all of
your accessories are housed within
an armoire. "Shop" your shelves and
bins. Use bins and boxes to neatly corral
belts, headbands,
and other small
accessories. Plan
shelving for
upright purses and
stacks of scarves
and Pashminas.
Create shallow
shelves to store
containers of small
jewelry items. A
small mirror on a
shelf or door interior allows for a upper
style check or, if possible, install full-
length mirror.
Last Thoughts
Pet supplies and accessories, family
games and entertainment media,
arts and crafts supplies, household
tools and cleaning supplies – endless
possibilities for repurposing a previously
outmoded armoire to corral all that
stuff! De-clutter, organize, simplify and
beautify – now, THAT's making your
home work for you.

Since it debuted a few years ago,
Troon’s Trifecta brand was only sold by

Martin started thinking that tasting room
patrons would enjoy the savings and
the experience of self-bottling; to take,
says Martin, “that visceral experience
of popping a cork and improving it
exponentially.”
At the Filling Station, you push on the
tap, then manually put a cork into your
bottle. There’s even a label to put on so
the bottle is official.
“It is always great when you can offer
something that is both environmentally
friendly and costs less,” says Martin. “It
shouldn't cost more to do the right thing.”

Food & Friends is the only Meals on
Wheels program operating in Jackson
and Josephine counties, and last year we
provided over 238,000 meals for seniors
via home delivery and congregate meal
sites. In Jackson County alone, we serve
approximately 600 meals daily from centers like the
one in the Oddfellows Hall in Jacksonville. Over 300
wonderful volunteers help make it possible.
To continue meeting the needs of hundreds of seniors
who need our help, we must build awareness and
financial support for this program. One of our most
visible, family-friendly and community-building events
is the Fun Walk we plan each year.
The 9th Annual Food & Friends Fun Walk will be held

raise a total of $100 or more will receive a free Fun Walk
t-shirt, and the walker with the highest total in donations
wins a grand prize. Walkers leave the Senior Center at

appy May everyone! I hope life is treating
you well. I am happy to be enjoying the yard
and grabbing some nice new vegetable plants
whenever I get the chance!
If you have ever been around a Golden Retriever, you
probably know that we Goldens like to have something
in our mouths most of the time. Carrying or chewing
something is VERY important to us. It doesn’t really
matter what it is: bones, balls, sticks, rocks, clumps of
dirt, or my favorites…socks.
It is especially important that we greet people holding
something. When the folks return home, or family or
visitors come by, I HAVE to have something in my
mouth and then whine as loudly as I can. If someone
surprises me, I make a mad dash around the house
to grab whatever’s closest…even if it means grabbing
something I shouldn’t, like Mom’s shoe. This is a moral
imperative – so, you humans just need to get it, and quit
even trying to stop us.
I especially like to chew things I find outside. The
other day, when out for a quick pee break in the front
yard, I found some wonderful clumps of old grass that
had dropped from the ride-on lawnmower. These were

Light the grill. Remove the portabello
mushrooms from the vinaigrette, reserving
the vinaigrette to toss the greens with. Grill
the portabello caps bottom side down to start.
After you flip the portabello to cook the other
side, place a small mound of cheese on the
portabello. Close the grill lid and let this
melt into the mushroom. In the meantime,
toss the frisee lettuce with a small amount
of reserved vinaigrette. Place a mound of
frisee on 4 plates, place some diced tomato
on top. While hot, place the portabello
mushroom cheese side down on top of
the salad. Sprinkle with chives, salt and
pepper. Drizzle with a small amount of
olive oil. Serve immediately.

juicy, rock-like, brown, tasty chunks that were perfect for
hiding in my jaws and bringing back with me into the
house to settle down and chew. Well – Mom had just had
the carpets professionally cleaned for the first time (they
looked great by the way!), so when she turned around
from her computer and saw the delicious mess I’d made
with the clump, it didn’t go over so well.
Why do we do this? Here’s a little history I found:
Golden retrievers hail from the Scottish Highlands of the
1800s. We were bred as hunting dogs. We’re apparently
designed to run, to swim (well, I take issue with that
one), to traverse lakes and streams, and generally just
be outdoor dogs. We were also bred to be retrievers…
meaning we want to hold things in our mouths and
bring them back to our master.
So – there you go – it’s in our genes! I am great at
bringing items back, I just don’t let them go. And, you
know, there’s nothing more humiliating and annoying
than having one’s jaws pried open so the apparently
offensive item of choice can be unceremoniously
removed from my mouth.
Well – that’s more of my life in this wonderful Small
Town with Big Atmosphere!

confusing case. Maybe it was the cat vomit I found inside
my work shoes this morning as I was getting dressed.
Whatever the reason, when I sat down at my computer
this morning, this is what I ended up with. Instead of
throwing it away, I thought you all might get a chuckle
from hearing about some of the frustrations we face on a
daily basis! Here are a few I came up with:
1. Picking the perfect outfit. This may strike you
as funny. Why should it be so hard to figure out
what you are going to wear? Well, as a woman
who appreciates fashion, it is incredibly difficult!
I LOVE nice clothes. I see women come into the
clinic wearing beautiful clothes that I would love
to have. However, the reality is, when dressing
for my job there is a delicate balance between
professionalism and wash ability. Most people don’t
stand in their closet on a daily basis wondering,
“If I get pooped on, will it wash out?” Nor do they
take that into consideration when purchasing an
outfit. That however, is usually the first thing that
crosses my mind when I am standing in a boutique
in downtown Jacksonville eyeing a new item of
clothing. Fear of poop, vomit, and the like, usually
causes me to return the item to the rack. Another
issue I have to consider, is that pockets and cuffs can
harbor some nasty things! There have been many
times that I have found little “treasures” in my
pockets after leaving work! How many of you can
say that you have put your hand in your pocket and
come out with a poop nugget? Is anyone other than
me raising your hand? Lucky you!
2. Maintaining a professional demeanor when being
sniffed inappropriately. Need I say more? Inevitably
this always occurs during a consultation with
owners over the most serious of subjects. The more
discreet I try to be, the more persistent that dog
usually is. Thank goodness that we do not have this
wonderful trait as humans! The worst part is when
the sweet sniffing dog leaves a slobbery nose print

right between your legs. Thankfully, slobber dries
quickly but until then still leaves you with a few
awkward moments!
3. Recommending castration of an animal to a male
owner who takes it personally. You think I’m joking,
don’t you? Well, I hate to say it, but this actually
happens, A LOT! For some reason, some men
take castration of their dog or cat very personally.
It seems like the more time I spend explaining
the risks of testicular and prostatic cancer, not to
mention unwelcomed behaviors that are often
exhibited on your visiting neighbor’s leg, the more
adamant the man gets about NOT performing the
procedure. Well, let me assure you gentlemen, there
is NOTHING personal about this and we are NOT
secretly plotting with your wives behind your backs!
4. Getting urinated/defecated on/squirted by anal sac
secretions. Luckily, these incidents don’t occur daily.
I attribute a lot of this to appropriate planning as I
usually allow my trustworthy staff to lift the business
end of the animal! The other part I will attribute to
my cat-like reflexes! You laugh… but see how fast
you move when an animal is shooting pipe-stream
diarrhea in your general direction. For obvious
reasons, being soiled-on can put a huge damper
on your day, though some accidents are worse
than others. I don’t generally mind when my toe is
urinated on, which is very common, unless it soaks
through to my sock. Regardless, my day can continue
without a hitch. I will admit that I do get frustrated
when diarrhea or anal sac secretions get on my
clothes (refer back to #1) as they make a foul smelling
perfume! To the most extreme, anal sac secretions
(which have been known to hit the ceiling/walls/etc
when under pressure) in my hair or on my face is
completely guaranteed to spoil my day and induce a
healthy gag reflex. No explanation needed there.
Well, there you have it. A few of our daily frustrations
out in the open! Thankfully these things make up a small
portion of our days and the rest of our time is filled with
sweet kisses and cuddles from our most amazing patients!

Dogs on Leash – PLEASE!
I abhor the notion of always having the
police or park rangers standing over us,
ticket book in hand, waiting for someone
to violate rules…BUT…it seems that there
Anita’s are those that require just that. They seem
to feel that laws and rules are for others,
Alteration Center not for them!
I can’t count the times I’ve been on the
Woodland/Beekman trails, and politely
1700 E. Barnett Rd. Ste B asked people to leash their dogs. I’ve even
explained (to those that would stop and

structure and roof. The county this time,
for lack of funds, would not make repairs.
“Come and see us for unsurpassed service and technical expertise.” Jana Jensen, Owner Again the community rallied together
and formed the “Save McKee Bridge”
committee and organized a series of fund
raising events that raised almost $70,000.
The restoration was completed in 1989.
In 1994, major maintenance then
required an estimated $85,000. This time,
there was some help from the state lottery
fund ($39,000). The remainder was taken
from the reserve fund and additional
community donations.
In 1999, the McKee Bridge Historical
Society was created to replace the
“Restoration Committee,” which was
under the jurisdiction of the county
commissioners. Also, with no more
funds left in the special reserve fund, the
Society was now totally responsible for
the maintenance and care of the Bridge!

trails keep their dogs on leashes, and if
violated, can be revoked.
Please, walk your dogs on leash. Clean
up after them, and when you do, pack the
bag back to a garbage can – don’t leave it
along the trail! The Woodlands Association,
in conjunction with the city, have provided
dog bag stations, at no cost for dog owners
to use. And now, there’s a drinking
fountain with a spigot for dog water.
A little common sense and courtesy
would be appreciated by all, I’m sure.

arriving in their dress uniforms, looking
so sharp. The event, marking the 150th
anniversary of the Civil War, was the

The first McKee Bridge Day celebration
was held in 1999 as a fund raiser, and has
been an annual event since.
In 2004, an engineering inspection
revealed necessary repairs estimated at
$37,000, forcing a short term closure of the
bridge until critical items were corrected.
MBHS was able to cover the inspection
costs and all of the material for the
repairs. With an ever-presnet potential for
problems, it is mandatory for the Society
to maintain an active fund raising reserve.
We would like to invite everyone to
attend the 2011 McKee Bridge Day June
11, 10:00am to 4:00pm. Enjoy a BBQ lunch
hosted by the Applegate Lions, music,
exhibits, games, bake sale, kids train ride
