A better way to your

heart
When it comes to diagnosing and treating heart
conditions, there’s a better way to access your heart.
And Providence cardiologists are using it.
Through transradial catheterization, our experienced cardiologists enter
your heart through the blood vessels in your wrist rather than your groin.
This advanced, minimally invasive technique is their preferred procedure
because it offers you less discomfort, fewer complications and faster
recovery than traditional methods.

Ask your doctor if transradial catheterization at

Providence is an option for you.

My View
by Whitman Parker, Publisher
R
egular readers know I place a high value on
supporting LOCAL businesses, events, non-
News profits, shops, artists, wineries, restaurants, and
LOCAL everything.
When it comes to my personal spending habits, I put
my money where my mouth is and purchase LOCAL
goods and services from independent business owners,
many of whom are my neighbors and many of whom are
supporters of this publication.
I shop close-to-home and avoid online shopping
whenever possible. When looking for a product or service,
I favor Jacksonville businesses first, then Rogue Valley
ones, and finally those based in Oregon. One caveat:
I’m willing to pay a LOCAL “fair” price for everything
from gasoline to groceries to keep my LOCAL dollars
circulating in my community so long as the price tag is not
totally out of whack. Supporting out-of-state corporate-
owned stores does very little to help the LOCAL economy,
job market and overall health of the Rogue Valley.
As always, I urge my readers to join me by dining
New in The Review!
On pages 13-14 & 23-24, visitors will find a new
“seasonal” pull-out section to help navigate around
town. We suggest keeping this section with you while
you’re out and about, enjoying Jacksonville! The
section includes a handy town map, Wine Scene map,
the Calendar of Events, a Business Directory and the
complete Britt Festivals schedule.
City Snapshot
City Council, June 5:
Evelyn Kinsella from RVCOG—Rogue Valley Council
of Governments, gave her annual report on the Food
& Friends senior nutrition program in Jacksonville.
Kinsella thanked the Council and the community for
supporting the program, noting that in her 11 years
with RVCOG, the city has “been there for the seniors.”
In 2011, the nutrition program served 7128 meals via its
in-town dining hall and home-delivery program. 62% of
home meals are delivered to seniors over age 80, while
6 recipients are 90+. Of Jacksonville recipients, 78% are
considered “high risk,” significantly higher than county-
wide averages. Kinsella ended by thanking the 43 J’ville
volunteers who logged more than 7000 hours in 2011
delivering meals and checking-in on our most vulnerable
and needy residents.
Safety Pays:
Scott Sherbourne of Western States Insurance, the
city’s liability insurance provider, gave a risk assessment
presentation to Council, noting city-wide efforts by all
departments to reduce liability exposure has resulted
in cost savings. City risk management action initiated
includes: blood pathogen safety classes, mowing
hazard training, defensive driving and ladder/climbing
safety courses, monthly safety review meetings, dam
restoration efforts, installation of back-up cameras on
city vehicles, ergonomic work station upgrades and
more. These and other good practices have resulted in a
$41,000 insurance rebate.

in LOCAL restaurants, shopping in LOCAL stores,
drinking wines from LOCAL wineries, purchasing gifts
from LOCAL gift shops and buying fresh produce from
LOCAL farmers. Yes, I said LOCAL farmers—like those
at the Jacksonville Farmers Market every Sunday on the
Courthouse lawn.
Supporting our local farmers is essential to
preserving our quality of life. Visitors and locals
often remark that the most charming things about
Jacksonville are the farms and vineyards ringing the
town in a sea of green. I call Jacksonville “The Nest,”
and acknowledge that the state’s commitment to
preserving farmland is largely responsible for our
“green buffer” from the greater Rogue Valley.
If you agree, I encourage you to add LOCAL farm stands,
Farmers Markets, CSA’s and Co-ops to your support list. At
the J’Ville Market, you’ll find delicious vegetables, breads,
baked goods, eggs, meats and other goods at or below
retail prices. Really, the prices are fantastic and the products
are grown and/or produced right here by your neighbor-
farmers. Meet some of those farmers in our article on page 7.
Best of all, supporting LOCAL farmers keeps the
agricultural heritage of our area alive and viable and
preserves the “nest-like” feel of our Small Town with
Big Atmosphere!

Council directed City Recorder Jan Garcia to continue
working toward updating a city policy on business
licenses. Since holding a study session in late May,
council has been grappling with re-writing the confusing
and contradictory city ordinance related to who does and
who does not need a business license.
A Public Hearing adopting the 2012-2013 City budget
and Urban Renewal budget was held. The 9 funds in the
City’s budget total $6.8 million, a slight increase over
last year. The less-than 2% increase was attributable to
a less-than-requested salary increase of the staff union
contract, cost-cutting measures, tight internal controls
and excellent oversight by the Budget Committee and
Council.
Fire Chief Devin Hull reported great success for the
May 5 citywide disaster drill. He noted the wild land
fire disaster scenario involved city staff, emergency
responders, CERT, citizens and volunteers, all of whom
worked together to better prepare and respond in case of
a real emergency.
City Council, June 19:
In a 25-minute meeting, Council approved an
agreement with the Jackson County Sherriff’s office to
implement an upgrade to the city’s Records Management
System. Council also approved a contract with GSI Water
Solutions, Inc. to develop scope of work for an updated
Water Management and Conservation Plan. Lastly,
Council formalized a new policy to show the IRS how
the city deals with certain bond-related issues.

the 236 years since our
colonial fathers celebrated their act of
telling good King George goodbye in
their wonderful document known as The
Declaration of Independence. Written by
Thomas Jefferson at the urging of John
Adams, it has held forth undeniable
truths about the concept of freedom and
democracy steadfastly held all these
many years, while drawing the contempt
of tyrants, dictators, and the state-is-
supreme-minded people ever since. Think
of it! Had any nation ever in history done
such a thing?
What a document! It binds us as a
nation as much as our constitution does.
It is, indeed, a remarkable paper, and
one all Americans shall soon celebrate so
many years later.
In 1968, during Lyndon Johnson’s
administration, the Uniform Monday
Holiday Act, an Act of Congress, was a
piece of legislation largely inspired by the
travel industry, designed to move almost
all federal holidays to the nearest Monday
on the calendar, thereby creating a series
of three day weekends. July 4th was not
one of them. Neither was Christmas, as
both were deemed too important to treat
in such a trivial fashion… and rightfully
so. The Declaration of Independence not
only established us as a new nation, but
gave birth to a concept remarkable in its
day, one that led to revolutions around
the world… the concept that monarchies
and oligarchies have no place in a world
where citizens rule.

Staff and Budget Committee Saves
Taxpayers $1.4 Million
Close observers of the city budget
process are well aware of recent
cost-saving actions that will save
Jacksonville taxpayers a lot of money—
for those not so familiar, read on!
City Administrator Jeff Alvis was
delighted to tell the Review, “Taxpayers
should be proud of the city staff, the
Budget Committee and the City Council
for working together to refinance, refund
and accelerate our city water bonds.”
The savings amounts to more than
$1.4 million dollars—which, for a small
city like Jacksonville is a lot of money
that can be used elsewhere.
Jacksonville Treasurer Stacey
McNichols said, “After doing our initial
research, we brought the concept of
refinancing the Water Bonds to the Budget
Committee in January 2012 and followed
that up with a Budget Committee Study
Session in February 2012.”
The work paid off. “At the time,”
Alvis explained, “the existing interest
rate on the bonds was 5% with a

to the finest watches ever made.
The frames and blades are created
from aerospace-grade titanium, rare
military aluminum and Damascus steel.
Their Damascus steel is created by
several talented artisans from around the
United States and is comprised of up-to
hundreds of metal alloy layers hand-
forged into stunning metal tapestries
which create masterful geometric designs
for their blades and frames. A single
blade or frame takes several months to
create. To embellish each piece, there
are accents of numerous beautiful
exotic woods or rare fossils of woolly
mammoth tooth, woolly mammoth bone
and fossil walrus tusk ivory. All of these
elements will be on display for viewing
and inspection during this show.
New product releases on display
include hand-engraved stainless steel
and 24 k gold frames by some of the
finest engravers in the world. The hand-
engraving is so detailed that an artisan can
spend several hundred hours engraving
with binocular microscopes to create a
single knife frame design. Each piece
takes more than seven months to produce,
incorporating the work of more than 30
artisans across 800 individual operations.

Animalkind Vet Clinic Offers Alternative
Kind of Pet Care
Dr. Jeff Judkins, a self-described “non-
conformist,” has opened “Animalkind,”
a vet clinic specializing in alternative
vet medicine. The clinic is located at
310 E. California Street at the corner of
California & 5th.
The 53 year-old Doctor of Veterinary
Medicine has been practicing for 30 years. approaches offer value, but I just decided
“I started out
after graduating
from Louisiana
State Vet School
in 1984 in a small
clinic in Austin,
Texas. Since I
played guitar
and mandolin,
I was looking to
live and work in
a place where I
could blend my Becky and Jeff Judkins
profession and
my passion for music. Having grown up
in Little Rock, Arkansas, I’d heard great
things about Austin my whole life.”
For 5 years, Judkins practiced all
forms of traditional medicine in Austin,
ranging from major and minor surgeries
to de-horning cattle for ranchers to de-
skunking family pets. Later on, Judkins
moved to Fairbanks, Alaska where he
practiced another 5 years. “It was in
Fairbanks where I became disenchanted
with conventional medicine. Luckily, I
landed in Portland, Oregon to work in
another small practice that was focused
on holistic medicine.” Judkins fell in
love with Portland—he loves everything
outdoors—biking, hiking, camping. In
Portland, he founded a house-call service
and then the Hawthorne Veterinary
Clinic where he integrated traditional and
holistic disciplines. “My Portland practice to Jacksonville earlier this year. “After
was super-successful…we were very busy living and working in the big city, we
and built an incredible practice. At that
point in my career, I began focusing more
and more on non-traditional medicine
and became more interested in trying
to understand and treat the underlying
energetic imbalances that cause disease.
Traditional medicine often treats only
the symptoms …my holistic approach
attempts to get to the root cause of
the issue.” At that time, Judkins also
began studying and taking courses in
acupuncture, herbal medicine and other
non-traditional medicine.
Although he concentrates on “holistic,”
Cascade Cedar Offers Custom Tables
Ted and Susan Shaffer of Jacksonville
have started Cascade Cedar, a new
business designing and building outdoor
furniture. In 2003, after relocating from
Santa Barbara, Ted was frustrated by
the lack of uniquely-designed outdoor
tables available for their deck that
reflected the rustic décor of their new
home on the Little Applegate River. As
a professional Industrial Designer, Ted
chose to make his own table that when
completed, was the inspiration for a new
business that’s now Cascade Cedar. The
Shaffer’s new business works well with
Susan taking care of all of the business
and administrative functions while Ted
designs and builds outdoor furniture in
their shop.
Ted explains, “Building furniture has
been a side interest and activity of mine
for more than fifteen years. I’ve designed
and built many of the custom features
into the homes that Susan and I have
built for ourselves and for my clients
over the years. My education was in
Industrial Design, so I learned to make
patterns and molds in wood and other
materials. Making cedar furniture is
simply an extension of that expertise...
and, it’s a lot of fun!”
For now, Cascade Cedar offers
cedar tables in four standard sizes to
accommodate 4-8 people. “However,”
Ted notes, “custom sizes are considered

a combination
of traditional
chemotherapy and holistic medicine. “I
am using acupuncture and Chinese herbs
in conjunction with the chemo… the
treatments are really helping reduce the
dog’s side-effects from the chemo and the
results have been impressive.”
The list of ailments Judkins treats
holistically include, allergies, cancers,
chronic skin and ear problems, immune
system disorders, digestive problems
and even behavioral issues. “I look at
an animal’s well-being by examining
factors such as environment, diet, and
emotional state. You can’t treat a chronic
ear infection or skin affliction with
antibiotics if your pet’s food is causing
the problem…sometimes you need to
look elsewhere for a cure and that’s why I
practice holistic medicine!”
Judkins and his wife, Becky, moved

sunnier climate and lifestyle.” Becky is
a marketing writer for Backroads, an
active travel company based in Berkeley,

recreational venues as top reasons for
relocating to Jacksonville.

Friendship Force Southern Oregon Visits Morocco
Local members of Friendship Force
Southern Oregon recently spent 15 days
traveling in Morocco. Ranging in age
from 50 to 93, this group climbed onto
camels for an evening ride that included
an unexpected sand storm, slept on silk
laden couches in the homes of their hosts,
ate elaborate dinners and belly danced
on stage. Visiting many places including
Casablanca, Rabat, Fez, Ouarzazate,
Marrakesh and the ancient Berber village
of Ksar El Bouiya , FFSO members
experienced exotic food, visits to palaces
and Mosques and the generous hospitality
of their new Moroccan friends. With
humor and fairly good English, “Ali” their

The Jacksonville Museum Quilters 34th
Annual Quilt Show: Stitches in Time
by Carolyn Kingsnorth
Southern Oregon history will play
a prominent role in the Jacksonville
Museum Quilters’ Annual Quilt Show
which attracts quilters, artists, artisans,
and aficionados from the entire Pacific
Northwest. Now in its 34th year, the
show runs from 10:00am to 4:00pm,
Friday, July 13, through Sunday, July 15,
in the Jacksonville Elementary School
gymnasium located at 635 Hueners Lane.
Admission is $4.
A featured item in this year’s show
will be the historic Applegate Wagon
Train quilt. In 1843, Oregon Trail pioneer
Jesse Applegate saw his 9-year-old son
drown while the family attempted to float
the choppy Columbia River. Applegate
resolved to forge a "southern route." The
resulting Applegate Trail
opened the way for settlers to
pour into the Rogue Valley.
The Wagon Train quilt was
made by the Jacksonville
guild in the 1970s to coincide
with a reenactment of Jessie’s
historical feat. Applegate’s
great-great-granddaughter,
Leta Neiderhasen of
Murphy, Oregon, will also be
selling and signing her book,
Jesse Applegate: A Dialog with Destiny.
Other hand-stitched vintage quilts and
their stories will be among the some 80
quilts on display as will machine-made
contemporary quilts and fabric art. Although
the Guild is dedicated to preserving the art
of hand quilting, the annual event showcases
quilting’s many forms.
The Southern Oregon Long Arm
Quilters will be showing 12 quilts. “Each
participant was given a block of fabric
and assigned a flower,” explains quilt
show co-chair, Debbie Wilchek. “They
were instructed to interpret the flower
in their quilting pattern. The results are
stunning, absolutely stunning!”
Wilchek’s co-chair, Nell Mathern, will
be doing a bed turning, an ideal way to
showcase quilts that may be worn but that
illustrate particular techniques or have
interesting histories. Significant quilts from
the Jacksonville guild’s collection will be
stacked on a bed, and Mathern will talk
about each quilt before turning it down
and sharing a story about the next one.
“It’s a way of educating people,”
Wilchek points out. “For example, a
quilt we had on a recent bed turning was
New Men’s Store Open
Longtime Jacksonville residents
Loren & Cheryl Clear have just opened
Men's HangUps—a high quality men’s
consignment store featuring the finest
in casual to formal men’s clothing and
accessories. The store has the look and
feel of a fine men's shop, but without
the prices. Inside, you'll discover
consignment shopping with access
to a huge variety of quality brands
at a fraction of the retail cost. (Your
publisher had never been to a men’s
consignment store before and was very
impressed. He left a while later with
several great summer shirts and shorts!)
Men’s HangUps is located at 535
Stevens Street, on the corner of Biddle
and Stevens, in Medford—now part of a
collective of consignment stores called,
"Consignment Row." The other shops
carry women's, children's, and women’s
plus sizes all in one shopping spot with
great parking!

almost in tatters, it was so well used. But it
had a strip of muslin sewn across the top—
it was a whisker guard! When men would
pull the covers up under their bearded
chins, the whisker guard would keep their
beard oil from getting on the fabric and
causing it to disintegrate even faster.”
Wilchek continues, “Hand quilters will
be working on the 2014 ‘Opportunity
Quilt’, a Baltimore Album appliqué. And
of course, everyone can buy raffle tickets
for this year’s ‘Opportunity Quilt’—a
beautiful 92” by 107” hand-quilted
design called ‘Retro Baskets’ which will
be raffled off the last day of the show.”
Raffle tickets sell for $1 a chance, or six
for $5, and are available at the show
and in advance at Country Quilts, 214
East California Street in
Jacksonville.
Vendors and craft booths
featuring quilting blocks,
supplies, fabrics, and
handmade items will round
out the show.
“We’ll have eight vendors
this year, including two new
ones,” says Wilcheck. “Bill
Belk will have handmade
wooden quilt accessories
from quilt frames to large ironing
boards that fit on top of a regular board,
quilt racks, and more. Marge Wall of
Jacksonville’s Country Quilts will be
displaying a selection from her store. Debbie
Burchette, a machine quilter from Portland,
will be offering her quilts and her quilting
services. Fast Turn will be demonstrating
a little tool they sell that allows you to turn
small tubing.
“And there will be all these wonderful
fabrics that all us crazy quilters are
interested in! A gal from Crescent City will
have fabrics from Africa; Oregon Trail Quilt
Company will have fabrics; and Fabric of
Vision will be offering hand-dyed fabrics.”
There will also be a Members’ Boutique
where the guild sells quilt-related items. A
second craft booth will be offering quilt blocks
that members have made, little girls’ skirts,
iron caddies, and other hand made items.
The show is also an opportunity for
anyone interested in the art or craft
of quilting to find out more about the
Jacksonville Museum Quilters. Wilchek
enthuses, “We welcome anyone who wants
to learn about quilting, whether they have
little or no experience or lots of skills!”

our special guest to talk about the history
of this ancient fraternal organization.
Meet your docents at 10:00am at the

comfortable walking shoes. Parking is
available within the cemetery grounds.
Programs are free, however, donations
are always appreciated and help support

Cemetery Restoration Project
Thanks to generous donations and
proceeds from events such as our annual
Meet the Pioneers program, the Friends
of Jacksonville's Historic Cemetery is very
pleased to announce a major restoration
project. Work has begun on the Max Muller
Block which is located in the Masonic
Section of the cemetery. The sandstone
curbing, which is capped by a beautiful
iron fence and gate, has sunken and is
falling apart. This has caused the fence to
bend, twist, and break in several areas. As
the entire site is near collapsing, action is
required to prevent further damage or a
possible injury from occurring.
Max Muller a native of Reckendorf in
Bavaria, Germany, was a Pioneer of 1855
and his wife Luiza, a native of Prussia,
arrived in Jacksonville in 1868. Mr. Muller
was known as an old settler and honored
citizen of Jackson County. Max ran a
very successful dry goods store and held
several public offices. He was a member
of the Jacksonville Red Men and for
nearly 32 years was the Secretary of the
Masonic Warren Lodge No.10. Max and
Luiza's story was presented during Meet
the Pioneers in 2007.
Restoration plans call for the fence to
be removed from the site and taken to
the shop where each of the sections will
be straightened and restored as close to
the original design as possible. The work
is being performed by Malcolm Schubert
of Integrity Iron Works, formerly the
Ashland Forge.
Malcolm has previously restored the
iron fence and gate that encloses the
Kahler Family Block, also in the Masonic
Section, and he also designed and
constructed the historic reproduction
fence that is around the Plymale Family
Block in the City Section.
Jim Oleson, owner of Oleson Concrete
Construction, and a Jacksonville resident,
will be performing the restoration work
on the sandstone curbing. Jim will remove
the curbing on three sides of the block
and install a new footing to support the
original sandstone curbing that will be
reinstalled on the site. He will also provide
July 2012

for a drainage system behind the curbing
walls as to relieve hydraulic pressures
and prevent future shifting of the
curbing walls. Jim specializes in working
on historic projects and he along with
Malcolm, are the perfect choice to help
us with our restoration and preservation
projects in the Jacksonville Cemetery.
Projects such as this are expensive,
close to $9,000 but, are necessary to ensure
that we do all possible to protect and safe
guard these works of art that we are so
fortunate to have in our historic cemetery.
Depending on the weather and any
problems found during construction, we
are hoping to have the project completed
by mid-July.
The grave of Jacksonville Spanish
American War Veteran will receive
long overdue Military Marker. Hayes
Benjamin Taylor was born in Jacksonville
on December 13, 1876 and was the son
of Samuel R. and Melissa Taylor, both
Pioneers of the early 1850’s. He was only
21 years of age when he joined the Oregon
National Guard in response to President
McKinley’s request for troops from each
state after the sinking of the “Maine” in
Havana, Cuba. He mustered on May 2,
1898 in Portland, Oregon and served with
Company L 2nd Regiment of the Oregon
Infantry. Following a brief amount of
training at the Presidio in San Francisco,
California he was sent to the Philippines.
The Oregon troops were the first ashore
and helped secure Manila and the final
surrender of the Spanish. Six months later
they were still in the Philippines when the
insurrection began. Benjamin fought in
the second major battle of the insurrection
at Malabon and was killed in action on
March 25, 1899. Hayes Benjamin Taylor’s
remains were returned to his parents
and Jacksonville and he was buried in
the Jacksonville Cemetery on February
21, 1900. A marker was never placed on
his gravesite. As a matter of fact, the only
grave marked in the Family Block is that
of Edward Everett Taylor, the first born
son of Samuel and Melissa, who died on
August 10, 1874 at the age of 1 year and 3
months. Both Samuel and Melissa rest in
the Family Block in unmarked graves.
While preparing and doing research
for last year’s Meet the Pioneers Tour,
our Research Committee came across the
story of Samuel R. and Melissa Rogers
Taylor and decided to include their
story in our 2011 program. Of course the
research included information on a son
who was killed at the battle of Malabon
during the Spanish American War, and
was buried in Jacksonville. We previously
had his name on our list of Veterans
without markers but, now we had
additional information to pursue in trying
to obtain a marker for his grave. Our
first request was rejected but following
good advice and directions from the

Britt Receives Major Grant To Seed New
Performance Garden
Galbraith and Associates rendering of the planned Britt Performance
Garden. Final design subject to City of Jacksonville HARC approval.
Britt Festivals announces the largest
grant award in the organization’s
history, in the receipt of a $200,000 grant
award from the M.J. Murdock Charitable
Trust. The grant will go toward the
construction of a new performance
garden on the Britt grounds.
Britt Executive Director Donna Briggs
says of the award from the M.J. Murdock
Charitable Trust, “We have been working
closely with the M.J. Murdock Charitable
Trust since March of 2011. Their expert
guidance and steadfast belief in the
project led to a successful proposal.”
The performance garden is also
funded by significant support from other
grantors, and is contingent on full funding.
Construction of the project is tentatively
planned to begin in October, with
completion planned for the spring of 2013.
The performance garden is a major
initiative to add to and diversify Britt’s
overall programming opportunities.
The Jacksonville Review
While maintaining the new Table Rock
Café concessions area, the performance
garden will replace the Table Rock Café
stage. An additional performance space of
this size will increase Britt’s programming
options, creating the opportunity to offer
smaller, more intimate concerts, including
chamber music, jazz combos, acoustic folk
and family concerts. This space creates the
opportunity to take advantage of “dark
nights,” when there is nothing scheduled
on Britt’s main stage, by offering
additional shows geared toward smaller
audiences, or providing opportunities for
venue rental.
Briggs says, “We plan to create a special
concert series for the Garden that will
feature local and regional artists, and
performers in genres such as chamber
music and jazz. We are confident that
programming of this kind will broaden
our appeal to our community.”

The Unfettered Critic
by Paula Block Erdmann & Terry Erdmann
A Wild and Crazy Talent
S
teve Martin first burst into public
consciousness with a banjo in
his hands and an arrow running
through his head. Now, four decades
later, the arrow is (mostly) gone. It’s the
music from that banjo that keeps running
through our heads. Who’da thunk it?
During his standup days, we giggled
at Martin’s banjo, certain that it was but
a comic prop. The banjo is, after all, a
great subject for a joke. (You know, like:
What do you call 5,000 banjos on the bottom
of the ocean? A good
start.) And so we didn’t
notice that Steve Martin
wasn’t just a great banjo
player, he was a great
musician. Even when
he proved his musical
worth as songwriter and
recording artist, he kept
us focused on comedy,
with songs like “King
Tut.” Is it any wonder
that we didn’t recognize
his musicianship.
It’s his own fault, of
course. He kept distracting us, first by
making silly balloon animals, then by
making hilarious movies, starting with
“The Jerk.” As the years passed, he kept
distracting us by adding to a catalogue of
career descriptions: screenwriter, actor,
producer, magician, novelist, playwright,
art collector, Grammy winner, Emmy
winner, Oscar host... Martin’s talents
seemed inexhaustible. And along the way,
his fingers kept fretting over that banjo.
Martin’s prowess on the instrument and
his deep affection for banjo music dates
back to his teenage years, when—per his
autobiography “Born Standing Up”—he
would play his 33 RPM bluegrass records
at the reduced speed of 16 RPM in order
to pick out each note and perfect his
playing. And perfect it he has. Attendees
at his Britt appearance two seasons ago
discovered that Martin wasn’t here to
do schtick—he was here as a practiced
member of the Steep Canyon Rangers, an
intensely talented independent, five-piece
North Carolina bluegrass band consisting of
Woody Platt (guitar, lead vocals), Graham
Sharp (banjo), Mike Guggino (mandolin),
Charles R. Humphrey III (bass), and
Nicky Sanders (fiddle). It was a sold-out
performance. And it must have struck a
chord; Steve Martin & the Steep Canyon
Rangers have sold every available ticket for
this season’s appearance, on July 27, as well!
That Martin would someday transition
from riotous onstage antics and glossy big
Next Origins Dinner at Hanley Farm is August 4
The inaugural Origins dinner was
held on June 30 at Hanley Farm. Next
up, the Southern Oregon Historical
Society and Jacksonville CSA will offer
a dinner event on Saturday, August 4
at 5:30pm at Hanley Farm. The outdoor
dinners, served on the green under the
famous walnut trees, feature farm-
grown culinary dishes prepared by
local Chef Kristen Lyon along with local
wines from Valley View Winery. Each
of the 4 Origins dinners includes an
exploration of a history topic, presented
by noted experts, and an exhibition
of relevant artifacts from the SOHS
collection. Blending history and food, the
June 30 topic presented by historian Jeff
LaLande, explored the 160 year history of
the “State of Jefferson Movement.” This
Origins dinner is $55 per person and $40
if you are an SOHS member.
On August 4, the presentation
will examine The Bracero Program,
delving into the history of migrant
farm workers in the 20th Century.
The speaker is Alec Lamoreaux of

July 2012
screen appearances came as no surprise
to your “Unfettered” critics—at least
one-half of them. Way back in 1994, Terry
was working as production publicist on
A Simple Twist of Fate, a fine, dramatic
film that Martin wrote and starred in
(Paula was home in Los Angeles, picking
up the pieces from the Northridge
earthquake, but that’s another story). On
this particular day, the film company
was scheduled to shoot a scene that
takes place in a pawnshop. The location
manager had found an actual pawnshop
that required minimal set dressing. But
although it was the perfect setting, it
also created a problem. The room was
so small that there was little space for
the filmmakers to stand—especially
when it came time to turn the camera
equipment around to shoot from another
angle. To make things worse, it was
raining—hard—so members of the film
crew not involved with the meticulous
rearranging didn’t want to step outside
and face the deluge. Martin could have
gone to his nearby dressing trailer, of
course, but instead he lingered, his eyes
focused high on the wall. This was, as
mentioned, a working pawnshop. And
there, within tantalizing reach, was a
banjo. Martin retrieved it, tuned it, and,
for the next forty-five minutes, performed
an up close and personal concert for the
crew. Truthfully, if the camera guys had
been able to keep their minds on the task
at hand, it would have taken only twenty
minutes to complete the turnaround. But
everybody was too busy tapping his or her
feet to the master’s impromptu picking.
It may have been even better had the
Steep Canyon Rangers been there.
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.
Association. Chef Lyon is planning a
menu of Mexican-influenced cuisine,
paired with local wine and beer selections.
Much of the food for the dinner is
grown on Hanley Farm by the growers
of the J'Ville Market and CSA using
traditional organic techniques, with
meats provided by local farmers and
ranchers. Seating is outdoors and
limited to 100. Hanley Farm is located
between Jacksonville and Central
Point at 1053 Hanley Road. For more
information and to purchase tickets, please

 July 2012
In The Beginning There Was Peter Britt
By MJ Daspit
M
ost people with a passing
interest in the evolution of
the wine industry in Oregon
know that it all started with the man who
gave his name to Jacksonville’s Britt Festival V. Jones began work at Ashland’s
and that the slope where festival patrons
picnic and party-down was the site of the
vineyard where he grew table grapes.
Wait a minute—table grapes?
Relax. He also had fifteen acres of vitus
vinifera at a site northeast of town. It
was from these grapes that he produced
the state’s first wine in
1858, making one to three
thousand gallons a year,
which he sold for fifty cents
a gallon. Britt’s success
spawned an industry that
by 1890 supported over
a dozen winemakers in
and around Jacksonville.
Britt’s success also got him
noticed by the Internal
Revenue Service. In 1873
the IRS issued a bill for
back taxes on wine sold.
Britt settled the issue,
getting a business license
in the course of events. He
named his vineyard Valley MJ Daspit
View. Wine produced
under that label was still being sold a
couple of years after Britt’s death in 1905.
And then Prohibition was enacted. In
Oregon temperance leagues had been
actively campaigning to outlaw alcohol
since 1836. Finally in 1914 their efforts
resulted in the Oregon Enforcement Act
which banned manufacture and sale
of liquor, as well as accepting orders
for liquor, printing ads for liquor,
and giving away liquor. Doctors were
permitted to prescribe and drugstores
to carry it for sale by prescription.
Individuals were allowed to bring up
to five gallons of wine and spirits and
up to twenty gallons of beer per month
into the state. The Enforcement Act took
effect in 1916, four years before the rest
of the country went dry.
Prohibition was repealed in 1933, but
by that time Oregon’s wine industry
was long gone, vineyards having been
replaced by orchards. Interest in wine
grape growing did not revive in the Rogue
Valley until 1967 when horticulturalist
Porter Lombard planted an experimental
vineyard at the OSU Southern Oregon
Experiment Station in Central Point.
Lombard, acknowledged as the father of
the modern Rogue Valley wine industry,
not only demonstrated that wine varietals
would flourish here, but also provided
grape vine cuttings and consultations to
local farmers willing to try viticulture.
Following experimentation came
education. Dick Troon proposed a course
on viticulture which was offered by
Rogue Community College in 1972. After
attending the course, Frank Wisnovsky,
Roger and Barrie Layne and Troon put
in the earliest modern vineyards in the
Applegate Valley. Dunbar Carpenter
and John Ousterhout followed suit near
Medford as did Ted Gerber and Suzi and
Chuck David in the Illinois Valley.
The first modern winery in the Rogue
Valley, bonded in 1978, was Frank
Wisnovsky’s Valley View Winery in Ruch, to Riesling and Pinot with a full range
named as an homage to Britt’s earlier
operation in Jacksonville. Chuck and Suzi
David’s Siskiyou Vineyards Winery was
established in the Illinois Valley near Cave if this were France the designation of the
Junction later the same year. Bridgeview
and Foris wineries opened in the Illinois
Valley in 1986, followed two years later
by Ashland Vineyards and Weisinger’s
Winery in the Bear Creek Valley.
In recognition of its distinct soils,
climate and topography, elements
that give wines their unique terroir,
the Rogue Valley was recognized as
a distinct American Viticultural Area
(AVA) in 1991. The Rogue Valley AVA
lies just north of the California border
entirely within Jackson and Josephine
Counties. The Applegate Valley was
recognized in 2000 as a distinct AVA
More online at JacksonvilleReview.com!
within the Rogue Valley AVA.
By 1997 there were 51 vineyards and 10
wineries operating in the Rogue Valley.
That same year climatologist Gregory
Southern Oregon University. Jones had
an immediate and profound influence
on Rogue Valley viticulture. His earlier
studies in Bordeaux, France led him to
conclude that warm weather varietals
would do better than Burgundian and
Alsatian grapes in certain parts of the
region. Increasingly
growers came to rely
on advice from experts
such as Jones in tailoring
their selection of grape
varietals to very specific site
conditions. Thus, an east
facing slope near Emigrant
Creek in Ashland allows
for cultivation of superb
Pinot Noir, whereas a
south facing slope only a
couple of miles away near
Pompadour Bluff provides
warmer exposure suited
to production of excellent
Malbec. Jones is not only
an invaluable resource for
Rogue Valley growers but
has established a world-wide reputation
for his application of climate studies to
viticulture. His studies have been used
to define wine regions all over the globe.
No wonder he appeared on Decanter
Magazine’s 2009 Power List as one of the
fifty most influential people in the world
wine industry.
But given that today 120 Rogue Valley
vineyards—according to the latest Oregon
Vineyard Report (2011)—produce over
two dozen different varietals, the question
is whether that diversity is a blessing or
a curse. Some industry professionals feel
that the reputation of the Rogue Valley
would be enhanced if it were recognized
for only one grape, as is the Willamette for
Pinot Noir. Others—to wit, the organizers
of the World of Wine celebration—favor
the situation as it has evolved, such
that wine tourists can find anything
from Rhone varietals and Tempranillo
of Bordeaux in between. For those who
favor minimal government intervention in
the day-to-day affairs of citizens, note that
viticultural area (appellation contrôlée)
would come with strict limitations on the
type of grapes to be grown.
It may be better to work on burnishing
the image of the Rogue Valley by taking
an ever-more critical look at not the what
but the how. As long as the Tempranillo
measures up to Red Lily, the Viognier
to William Augustus and the Pinot Noir
to Irvine—all brands that have become
benchmarks for the region—then we
can’t go wrong.
Which brings us to the subject of
winemaking as opposed to grape
growing. Just as viticultural practice has
foreground of the Eiffel Tower
Larry and his wife Linda just
become more and more specialized—
even to the extent that a grower can select
a certain clone of a varietal to be grafted
onto a root stock specifically suited
to thrive in a particular soil—making
wine has become as much a science as
an art. The self-taught winemaker is
a vanishing specimen among today’s
Rogue Valley vintners. More typical
are UC Davis grads with experience
in large-scale California wineries. It’s
also not unusual to find Rogue Valley
winemakers such as Eric Weisinger who
has expanded his expertise by making
wine in New Zealand and other southern
hemisphere sites, managing two harvests
per year. Another new breed of cat
is winemaker Linda Donovan whose
Pallet Wine Company in Medford is the
Rogue Valley’s first and only exclusively
custom crush facility. After fifteen years’
experience in international winemaking,
Donovan established Pallet in 2009 to
provide full-service winemaking, storage,
laboratory, and support services to
growers and wineries throughout the
Rogue Valley. In 2011 Pallet processed 427
tons of grapes. To give you some idea of
Donovan’s market share, in 2010 (the last
year this statistic is available) a total of
2,519 tons of grapes were crushed by all
wineries in the Rogue Valley. As of this
year, Donovan reported that Pallet has
three dozen clients and will make over
thirty varietals.
There are two other regional trends
well worth mentioning. The first has to do
with growth. Over the past two years five
new wineries with estate vineyards over
fifteen acres (established or in process)
have emerged on the scene. With this
economy of scale, we can expect the local
wines to come at a more reasonable price
and the wineries to maintain greater
financial stability.
The second trend is toward tasting
rooms with panache, venues that will
put the Rogue Valley on every wine
aficionado’s must-see list. Folin Cellars
was one of the first of a new generation
of wineries/tasting rooms to demonstrate
that modern functionality need not come
at the price of opulence. Similarly, the
Red Lily winery and tasting room on the
banks of the Applegate River provides
a unique combination of natural beauty

with an informal, but upscale tasting
experience. The jewel in the crown is
Jacksonville’s DANCIN, tucked into
a hillside like a Tuscan retreat with
unparalleled elegance and hospitality
together with exquisite Chardonnay and
Pinot Noir. On the horizon is Kriselle
Cellars tasting room, expected to open
this year around Labor Day. Judging from
the plans visible on the website and from
the wines now available in restaurants,
it promises to add to the growing
reputation of Rogue Valley wine venues.
It’s incredibly exciting in a nearly
invisible kind of way. I mean to say,
these are not trends that make The Wall
Street Journal on a regular basis, though
they have a profound impact on our local
economy. Still, for those in the know
there are ways to keep current with the
explosion of excellent vintages in our
valley. This year’s Southern Oregon
World of Wine celebration—dubbed
WOW for good reason—promises to be
bigger and better than ever, featuring
more Rogue Valley wines at one venue
than you’ll find anywhere else. Centrally
located in Jacksonville, the annual event
features an unprecedented opportunity
for wine lovers to meet winemakers and
taste their vintages. Classes offered run
the gamut from sensory evaluation of
wines to viticultural climates to, yes, the
history of winemaking in our valley.
I’m happy to say I’ll be there to discuss
my research and to offer signed copies
of my book Rogue Valley Wine for those
who want to retain their wine experience
beyond the day.
Rogue Valley Wine (Arcadia Publishing,
2011) is also available at most winery
tasting rooms along with the 2013 Rogue
Valley Vineyards & Wineries Desk Calendar,
which provides full color photos and
information on wineries that have
emerged since publication of the book.
Editor’s Note: Wine lovers save the date
– the World of Wine Festival returns to
Jacksonville August 22-25. Featuring 60
Southern Oregon wineries and 100+ wines,
the event includes daily sensory clinics, a
Gold Rush Dinner and the Grand Tasting
on the Bigham Knoll Campus under the
BIG TENT. See page 33 for details and
information on getting tickets to this not-to-
be-missed event!

here’s no other time during
the year that parents feel so
underappreciated than after the
Fourth of July when all the novelty of
summer, the 24/7 friends, eating junk
food, hanging at the park, staying up late,
and sleeping in has worn off. It's when
all the birthday, Chanukah/Christmas,
the "because you were so good" gifts
and everything else you purchased as
bribery becomes invisible. The time when
children have the nerve to whine that
two-word phrase that makes parents
swallow hard and cringe: “I'm booored!”
As soon as I hear those words I say a
quick prayer...out
loud, "Oh sweet
Lord in heaven,
please help these
children to run as
fast as they can;
however, if I get my
hands on them give
me the strength to be
gentle!" As soon as I
begin to invoke the
almighty my boys know to scatter. (That's
probably not such a good thing; I can see
that now, I'll work on that.) The point is
it makes me crazy! I look around at: bins
of toys, a cabinet full of board games, two
dogs, two fish, and a lizard, video game
consoles with a slew of games, there's
a computer to goof around on, a small
video store of movies, a garage full of
balls of every size, air soft, Nerf and water
guns, bicycles, skateboards, and scooters,
a yard with plenty of green, a tire swing,
basketball hoop and a town full of creeks,
critters, trees and kids; not to mention
a skate park, toy shop and candy store!
How could they possibly be bored?
Of course I was a kid too and clearly
remember feeling miserable from
the summer doldrums; constantly
complaining in an effort to make
everyone else suffer with me. Generally
speaking, I was a typical egocentric
teenager with a limited attention span
and filled all the way to the tippy-top of
my ratted blonde bangs with attitude and
I could not be pleased. Until one summer
when my life changed…

The Jacksonville Review
It was the weekend, dad was off
tinkering in his garage, the chores were all
done and I was bored! Dad says, "Hmmm,
well we can't have that." He thought for
a minute then asked "Do you know what
a post hole digger is?" I looked into his
eyes dancing with amusement and felt
elated! My dad was going to show me
something amazing! My muscles twitched
with anticipation and I eagerly answered,
"No..." He laughed and said, "Well, you're
about to get real acquainted!" I spent the
next several hours digging holes for our
new fence posts. That night I had my first
sensual experience…with Ben Gay. It
was a relationship
that developed and
strengthened as the
summer pressed on.
I started to refer to
the soothing, minty
cream as my secret
boyfriend, "Oh Ben,
no one can make
me feel as hot and
tingly as you do!"
The concrete had been dry only a few
days by the time my muscles finally
relaxed and the blisters began to heal;
when I complained again about nothing
to do. What can I say? I was fifteen and
had selective memory capabilities. My
dad got that same twinkle in his eyes as
he guided me to the garage to gather all
the supplies I would need to sand and
paint the deck. "Come to me Ben!"
The summer was winding down and it
seemed that I learned my lesson. We were
starting on the back to school shopping list
when I let it slip, "I am sooooo boooored!"
My dad got soooo excited, "I was hoping
you would say that! I need the front field
cleared!" He laughed all the way to the
garage; I threw Ben Gay in the refrigerator!
I learned a few life lessons that
summer: hard work is hard work, lazy
days are to be cherished and Ben Gay is
great for tired, sore, muscles; lessons I
intend to pass on to my own children! I
anticipate having the best looking yard
in Jacksonville and majority of my home
repairs completed by Labor Day! Call me
if you have some work you need done!

Small Space Solutions
hether your home is
oversized or currently
downsized, sometimes you
find yourself wondering what you can do
with a small space. This topic has a myriad
of possible ideas. For now, we’ll focus on
furnishings and storage solutions.
Seating Options
For an oversized living room or great-
room, creating conversation areas and
zones for personal lingering is a strong
design solution. A fireplace beckons the
primary area. Seating options include:
four chairs surrounding a large square
or round cocktail table; a sofa of optimal
size (7'-8'+), two chairs and a loveseat
with appropriate accent and center tables;
or two loveseats facing each other with
matching or individually collected chairs
and tables and so on.
Beyond the primary area, other
conversation and lingering zones are
designed with chairs, settees, benches,
chaises and adequate table surfaces, desks
and lighting.
For the downsized home dweller,
armless furnishings and ‘leggy’ furniture
(pieces without skirts or upholstery to the
floor) create visual openness. Even the
introduction of a single armless piece or
two will keep upholstered pieces from
overwhelming a small area. Another
option is one over-scale piece in a small
area, complemented by armless accent
pieces. Another advantage of armless and
leggy furniture is their lighter weight and
movability. Company coming? Bring in
benches, dining chairs or small accent
chairs to expand the seating capacity.
Storage Solutions
Shelves: A small room dedicated to
a single or dual purpose requires good
planning to make the best use of space.
Floor-to-ceiling shelving (built-in, floating,
or cabinet-style) makes full use of an open
wall. An upper shelf running around the
room is another creative option.
Open, modular-style shelving has
multiple use possibilities: a wonderful
room divider for a two-person home
office, a soft barrier between a sleeping
area and home office in a guest room, a
faux entry wall when the front door opens
The Hill
by Jack Duggan
It looked steep, though it climbs only
a little over 200 feet in its quarter-mile
length. Steep like San Francisco hills. Last
push to the ridgetop.
The first few miles had been a gentle
warm-up, following, mostly, a creekside
trail that had allowed them to climb
nearly 2,000 feet over a gradual upslope.
In the shade of oaks and alders the old
trees were wrapped in vests and petticoats
of moss. A few late trilliums hunkered
beneath spreading fir roots along the cool,
east-facing bank. In proud bunches the
swordfern took in the late spring sunlight.
The paintbrush dotted the higher ground
in contrasting red. Creekflow marked the
rhythm of the hike and the group stopped
often to study the bark of old cedars, to
follow the interplay of an alder reaching
for the sun under an old wolf pine, or
to listen to the snuffling sounds of some
creature no one could see.
Now there was The Hill. In full
sunlight, on a warm day in mid-June.
Steep. The trail slipped along the edge of
a high meadow, huge clumps of willow
showing where the springs flowed down
the hill. Looking across the meadow
rather than up made the first few steps
easy. The group stopped to watch a
nubbin buck break from a willow clump
and high step into the forested hillside.
Starting again, thighs and calves began to
feel the steepness. Yet they made it to the
halfway mark and a patch of level ground
with nimble steps.
July 2012
directly into the living room, and it works
well to delineate space in an oversized
room, instantly creating zonal purposes.
Armoires: Armoires come in many
sizes, wood finishes (stained and painted)
and storage configurations. If a small
room needs an extra closet—voila! an
armoire is perfect and requires fewer
dollars than construction costs. When you
want things stored out of sight, use an
armoire. A mirrored door will also add
visual space and reflect light.
Armoires are great solutions for business
and personal needs—they hide both
medium-sized TV panels and computer
stations—and they have shelving for
ancillary equipment and supplies. A
former entertainment armoire can be
converted to hang clothing by changing
out door hardware (when necessary) and
installing a tension rod. Baskets can be
added to former media unit shelves to
provide easy-access storage.
Stackables: A strong current trend in
housewares is stackable glassware and
dinnerware. Hasn’t dinnerware always been
stackable? Yes, however, the new products
take even less vertical or horizontal space
because of their efficient design. Stackable
glassware saves shelf space and doesn’t
stick as is common when stacking pieces not
designed for this purpose.
Racks and Hooks: Cloth napkins are
easily stored in a deep drawer when
housed in a rack typically used for
upright plate storage. Each pattern is
visible and simple to find when stacked
side by side rather than on top of each
other. Dinnerware and multi-level shelf

Quickly they began to explore the
shady den at the base of an ancient wolf
pine, more than twice the size of the one
they had seen coming up the creek. On
the far side of the pine, away from the
trail, they found an apple tree. There
was little doubt, tiny buds just starting
their journey to fruit. Then began a great
speculative discussion of how there
came to be an apple tree so far into the
backcountry. Theories included, of course,
Johnny Appleseed, as well as 19th century
miners, previous hikers, and, most
original, flushed from an airplane.
The steeper, but shorter, half of the
climb was a steady pull to the top, with
a brief stop as a grouse flushed from the
scrub oak next to the trail, startling the
leaders of the group. They reached the
ridge trail in bits and pieces, a great silence
on them, broken only a gentle windsong.
Looking down at the meadow they had
climbed, it still looked steep. Beyond the
meadow they could see the course of the
creek far below. In the distance two large
mountains dominated the sky.
Turning to the other side of the ridge, a
whole range of mountains spread before
them, some of them in another State.
Maps came out. Peaks were identified.
They adjourned to a plateau shaded by
ancient oaks. They would travel another
two miles along this ridgetop before
looping back to the trailhead, but The Hill
was behind them. They ate lunch.

When dessert was finished, the auctioneer, dressed in his

excellent lawn furniture, a luxury bed and bath package
that I had my eye on, paintings, and a wine tasting party
with music. Lively bidding was made with a spirit of
generosity and all-out fun!
I had donated an oil painting, a Mill

symptoms may include blurred vision, loss of peripheral

Anyone can develop glaucoma. However, some people
are at higher risk than others. They include:
• African-Americans over age 40
• Anyone age 60 and older, especially Hispanics
• People with a family history of glaucoma
Dilating the eyes in examination allows a doctor to see
the retina, optic nerve and vessels in the back of the eye

Hispanics are genetically more susceptible to glaucoma,
37 percent of those surveyed did not have their eyes

and excitement. As fast as the auctioneer sang out his
message “I have $80 here, who’ll give me $90? Who’ll
give me $90? A paddle was ready and raised or two
thrust up in the air, in which case he would say to one
“You have it for $90 and you have it for $100 if you keep
your paddle up,” hesitating long enough to make sure,
and then he was revving up his patter again as bids came
in for $180, $190, $200!
Iris had brought the first pie, fresh from the oven to go
home with the highest bidder. It was a raspberry pie—
her late husband’s favorite. Roger was from Vermont and
the summer after they had married,
he asked her to make him a raspberry
pie. She told me that she put her
hands on her hips and told him “We
don’t make pies out of raspberries
in Oregon. We eat them, or make
jam.” He gently asked again if she
would please make him a raspberry
pie. At forty-years-old, he had fallen
in love with Iris and her twinkling
blue eyes and now her raspberry
pie became his favorite. So this pie
not only looked good, it had been
made with the memory of their love
story. “Who’ll give me $300? YEEUP! Now, $310? Let’s
make that $320!” And so it went with people laughing,
clapping, egging the bidders on in the most rousing
competition of the evening until the auctioneer finally
brought both hands up in the air shouting out “SOLD!!”
The lucky winning bid was well over $400 for Iris Sperry’s
homemade pie every month for a year!
As I walked out into the moonlit night on my way
home, the world felt to be a better place and I was filled
with warmhearted contentment. Iris’ Raspberry Pie
story will stay in my heart. That night I dreamed of the
auction, particularly the face of Iris who gave what she
does well with joy coming from her twinkling blue eyes.

Joyfull Living Soul Matters

by Louise Lavergne by Kate Ingram, M.A.
Impermanence and the Sometimes You’re the Windshield,
Journey Called Life Sometimes You’re the Bug

C F
hange or Impermanence is the
nature of the human condition.
Every living thing around us is
constantly changing. The impermanence
of life, the highs and the lows, are what
make our lives vibrant and meaningful.
Yet we usually spend a great deal of
energy trying to keep
things from changing,
resisting it at the cost
of our health and
well-being. Resistance
can only be a source
of woe in our lives.
The pain of holding
on to things staying
the same is less of an
option if you want to
maintain a healthy
and joy-full life.
JoyFull Yoga offers
wonderful tools to assist with embracing
change with grace, as it helps bring us
back to the present moment as we learn to
make peace with “what is.”
Our body gives us a great opportunity
to practice embracing change, since that
is where we experience both change and
resistance. This type of stress and blocked
energy tend to manifest in our body
through aches and dis-ease. The most
common response when something goes
wrong in our body is to get upset with that
body part. We get mad at our knees, feet
etc. for not performing the way “they used
to.” A daily morning practice of mind-full
relaxation and gentle Yoga can assist us in
establishing a new dialogue with our body
that is loving and supportive of change
and distress. Here is how you can start:
1. Take a moment in the morning (and
anytime you can) to practice yogic
breathing: slow down the breath as you
inhale deeply into the belly and exhale
completely by pulling the belly in.
2. Then breathe in for 4 slow counts
…. hold it for 4…., and then exhale
for the same count. Extend the count
gradually over time to 8 or 10. Do this
3 times or more.
3. Begin to rub your knees. Our knees
represent our ability to move forward
in life. They are also the parts of
our body that take a lot of pressure
throughout the day. As you rub your
knees, connect to the compassion in
your heart and mentally say “thank
you” to your knees. (It may sound
silly but try it….)
4. If you have pain in your knees, bring
the awareness of your breath to relax
the aching area. Relax and invite
“ease”….be patient…You can do this
for any part of your body—take 3 or
more deep yogic breaths focusing on
the area that is calling out for your
attention. The aches are your body’s
way of getting your attention. Listen
and keep relaxing more and more and
restore ease, a few breaths at a time.
The breath is a powerful way to
communicate with our nervous system
and our body.
For mental resistance to a situation or
a problem try this:
1. When you become aware of
resistance, practice steps 1 & 2
above—take a pause—ask mentally:
“where I feel resistance, what is that
about?” Take a few more gentle
breaths. Allow the answers to come in
time. Letting go of the resistance is the
first step towards peaceful resolution.
2. Stand up (or sit in a chair); bend
down to touch your toes (or simply
wave at your toes.). Breathe! Shake
your head gently, yes and no. Shake
your hands.
3. Roll back up slowly. This helps to
bring circulation into your brain to see
things with a fresh, rejuvenated mind.
The more we surrender to “what is,"
the less resistance we feel and the more
Joy-Full we are as we learn to flow with
the journey of Life. If you have difficulty
with the process of letting go of emotional
blocks and feel stuck, get assistance. You
will find that you physically feel better
when you are emotionally at peace with
yourself and life in general.
Give yourself time and remember that
life is a journey, not a destination. We can
learn from wine which starts out as happy
grapes on the vine and through a series
of changes is transformed into wine.
What can make it better after you pour it?
Taking time for it (and you) to breathe.
Of course it only works if you “do it.”
The more you practice, the easier it becomes
and the greater the benefits. Remember:
Breathe in Gratitude. Live in Joy.

irst, I want to thank the many
kind people who have inquired
about my well-being since last
month’s column. Here’s the update: I’ve
tried everything from shaman to MRI
and I’m still in pain, the cause of which
remains a mystery; but I did discover that I
have three disintegrating joints in my neck,
so at least I got something for my trouble.
There’s nothing quite like pain and
physical deterioration to highlight
the reality of aging and the necessity
of humility in the face of it. I recently
read an essay that began: “I was 35
for 15 years, then one day, I was 50.” I
understand this.
It is the arrogance of youth and good
health that believes there is always time.
You can try on a career or relationship
for size thinking that you can change
it at will. You can imagine, with some
certitude, that there
is a future in which
everything will be
just as possible as
it is right now. And
then a little thing
trips you up—a
fall from a bike
or an odd lump
somewhere—and
suddenly you are
shot into a whole
new perspective.
In fact, the
trouble with the
first half of life is
that it is impossible
to imagine the
second half. If
we could, we’d use our time better.
We wouldn’t stay in the halfhearted
relationship. We wouldn’t be so cavalier
about how we spend our irretrievable
days or how we treat our fragile bodies.
There comes a point when you realize
that if you haven’t lived the life you
wanted to live, you’re probably not going
to. Carpe Diem. That’s the message here.
Seize the Day.
It’s dawning on me—
and I am grappling with
this—that recovery is not
always possible. Things
don’t necessarily get
better. Sometimes there
isn’t a happy outcome.
Sometimes it’s about grief and acceptance
and humility in the face of what is but
what you prefer were not.
No one wants to deal with the reality
of loss and limitation but, ironically,
limitations are what free us to become
our fullest selves. Like the pruning of a
fruit tree, limitations focus our energy
and direct our growth so that we might
be truly fruitful. And loss helps us to see
what is truly meaningful and what is
peripheral. The brevity and difficulties of
life are what compel us to really live each
day. Or they should.
Part of being human is living within
the limitations of an earthly incarnation,
a condition that includes loss of all kinds,
a condition that is itself terminal. It’s said
that life is brutish and short, and it is. It’s
also an amazing, sensual extravaganza.
It’s all of it. It’s not a salad bar where
you get to choose only what you like: it’s
more like a prix fixe dinner where you get
what you get. Our power lies not in what
we’re served, but what we do with it. The
silver lining to life’s
woes is sometimes
nothing more and
nothing less than
compassion.
Accommodating
to life’s slings and
arrows requires that
you grieve your
losses, whatever they
may be. Acceptance
comes if and when
you wrestle with
the truth—all of it.
Then, when you’re
finished with your
sorrow and your
anger and your
fear—or better said,
they are finished with you—you can take
a big breath and say, “Okay. Now what?”
Maybe you have to do this over and over.
Maybe this process never ends, and that’s
okay too. Let the emotional tides wash in
and out; it’s cleansing. Grief is cleansing.
There’s no medal for being stoic, nor is
there one for victimhood. Be real and feel,
that’s my motto. Drink some wine with
a friend and cry until you laugh. Or you
can allow me to save you the hundred
grand that I’ve spent on therapy over the
decades and distill what I’ve learned to
these two maxims:
1. Everything is meaningful.
2. That’s life.
Carpe Diem.

Paws for Thought

by Dr. Tami Rogers

Disaster Preparedness for Pet Owners

I
n the event of a disaster, either natural or man-
made, I would never dream of leaving my pets
behind. I'm sure most of you would agree with
that statement, however, how many of us can say that
we are adequately prepared to deal with a disaster in
regards to ourselves, let alone our animals? Let me be
the first to raise my hand and admit that I am not. I can
only imagine the chaos that would ensue in my home in
the event we had to evacuate for a disaster! We have only
been parents for just over eight months now and I still
consider it a success if I remember to feed my animals
on a daily basis. I am exaggerating a bit, of course, but
honestly…I need to be better prepared. Here are some
things we should all think about in the event of a disaster:
Remember, your pets depend on you for their safety.
Many times people have been told to leave their homes
for a “short time” only to find they cannot return for
days or weeks. So, if you evacuate, take your pets
with you. Animals left at home can be injured, lost,
or killed. Animals left inside your home can escape
through storm damage, such as broken windows;
those turned loose to fend for themselves are likely
to become victims of exposure, starvation, predators,
contaminated food or water, or accidents. If you believe
that an evacuation is imminent, bring your pets into the
house and confine them so you can leave quickly. Make
sure your disaster supplies are ready to go, including
your pet emergency kit (see below).
Unfortunately evacuation
orders may come, or a
disaster may strike, when
you're at work or out of
the house. A sticker in
your window will help
alert rescue or emergency
personnel there are animals
inside that may need help.
(Editor's note: Pet Rescue
Stickers are available online
from many different sites.) It
You should consider a secondary tag with a phone
number of a friend or relative that lives outside of the
immediate area; you want the call to be answered and
you obviously may not be reachable by phone. Because
collars can come off, you should also consider permanent
identification options such as a microchip and/or tattoo
(talk to your veterinarian to discuss these options).
It’s also a good idea to plan ahead to find a friend,
boarding kennel, and a hotel/motel where you and/or
your pet will be welcome in the event of an emergency.
You will want to call for reservations as soon as you think
you might have to evacuate your home. Remember to
keep copies of your pet’s vaccination and other medical
records in your emergency kit so you are prepared.
Upon returning home after a disaster, remember that
familiar landmarks and smells might be gone, and your
pet will likely be disoriented. Don’t allow them to roam
free at first as they can easily get lost. Keep dogs on
leashes when walking outdoors and keep your cats in
carriers inside the house.
Just as we would for ourselves, you should have an
emergency kit packed and ready to go for your pet. The
following is a list of items to include:
• Food and water for 3 days to a week
• Food and water bowls
• Pet's prescription drugs Natural Products Used
• Pet’s medical and vaccination records
• Authorization for medical treatment in your absence
• Emergency phone numbers, including local humane

Closet racks make the best use of
space, especially when combined with
baskets and bins. Skinny storage options
allow you to take your items all the way
to the ceiling above and store beneath
hanging items. Labels are especially
advised for opaque-sided bins.
Decorative hooks or a hook rack

provides almost full use of available

Home and Garden Tour Thank You
The Jacksonville Boosters and Garden
Club would like to thank everyone
who was able to attend our Home and
Garden Tour on May 19 & 20, and for
making it a very successful event. We
want to sincerely thank the owners of the
beautiful homes and gardens that were on
this year's tour. Without their generosity
and willingness to share their properties
with residents and visitors, the tours
would not be possible. Our appreciation
to all our volunteers who came forward
and helped staff the homes and gardens,
helped setup, directed traffic, baked,
sold tickets, smiled and looked fabulous.
Special thanks to the Jacksonville
Chamber and Visitor's Center for
promotion and ticket sales, The Jacksonville
Review, and JacksonvilleReview.com, for the
great coverage, JacksonvilleOregon.com,
Rogue Valley Independent, and Mail Tribune
and Homelife for their wonderful event
coverage, the Blue Door Garden Store
and Renaissance Upholstery & Design
for their wonderful help with staging,
Ron Moore for his photographs, Belles
and Beaus for making our streets a little
more fashionable, and the Jacksonville
Heritage Society, Friends of St. Joseph's
Rectory, the First Presbyterian Church,
St. Andrews Methodist-Episcopal and
St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Churches,
and the Masonic Lodge for having their
historic buildings open and available for
tours. The Home and Garden Tour is such
a perfect way to share Jacksonville's rich
history with all who live in the area or
come to visit. Thank you all for making
this year's tour something we can all be
very proud of, and for showing that when
we work together, we can have fun and
be successful.

Department of Veterans Affairs, we did
some additional research and requested
copies of Military Records from the
Government. They were secured and our
second request for a marker was mailed
off on March 20, and the marker arrived
in Jacksonville on May 31. (Regrettably,
the marker arrived with incorrect dates
inscribed on it and we are now awaiting a
replacement.)
The Friends of Jacksonville’s Historic
Cemetery will be honored and pleased to
be able to finally place this long-overdue
Military Marker at the gravesite of Private
Hayes Benjamin Taylor. We are currently
working on plans for a short memorial
service in honor of this Veteran and the
placement of his marker. Details will be
announced as soon as a date is confirmed.

the things that we enjoy every day.

to raise funds to place a simple but

Samuel R. and Melissa Taylor, Hayes
Benjamin’s parents. If you would like
to help in this endeavor you may send
donations to: FOJHC P.O. Box 1541
