Batman Visits Triangle Lake An eco-friendly company saves your structure and wildlife at the same time.

Oregon’s bats eat insects. An adult bat eats about 1,000 insects every hour! Little Brown Bat (Myotis lucifugus)

Randy Tolle of Eden Pest Solutions was called by Mike Palmer, a caretaker of the church, to resolve a bat situation.

“ was real happy that we called Randy Tolle of Eden,” says Mike Palmer of Triangle Lake Memorial Community Church. “We had always observed a bat or two but then we noticed it had grown to more than a hundred or so. Randy came up with an affordable solution that met our slim finances and moved the bats out of our building. He was super to work with and a real craftsman. He went all around our church and fixed all bat entry places that were present and possible future places. Our place looks good. While here, he also checked for carpenter ants and termites. In fact, we signed up for a bi-monthly program so that we won’t have to worry about any pest-mammal or insect.”

Bat facts:

• Bats are mammals: they have hair, are warm-blooded and feed their babies milk. A baby is called a pup. • Young bats can fly at 2-5 weeks. • Bats can live for 20 years. • Bats are Oregon’s only flying mammal. • As a nocturnal specis they have an ability called echolocation that allows them to make high-pitched sounds and then listen to the echo of those sounds to locate where objects are-using this, they can find even the tiniest insect. Also, don’t worry about landing in your hair, they have fine eyesight. “These were typical entry/exit • Some of Oregon’s bats migrate south in openings I found around the winter while some stay and hibernate, not building,” Tolle says. “I got a “Triangle Lake with its marshes eating all winter. lift to reach the 35’ high areas.” provide insect environment.” • There are 15 species of bats in Oregon. “First, its important to understand the biology of bats, which specie of bat it Many of them are identified by the Oregon is, what they do and why they do it; and their relationship to people,” Tolle says.

This bat is commonly found in attics and buildings during summer months in maternity colonies. It weighs about half an ounce and has a wingspan of 9-11 inches. It prefers to live in forests near water. One baby is born in spring or summer. In winter, this bat hibernates in caves. It lives throughout Oregon.

“It’s fall and as we come indoors we will find that home destroyers are coming in too. They are looking to be in a better environment than they had last winter, and if they find a way in, they will move their home into your home. There are home wreckers like carpenter ants, boring beetles and termites and there are nuisance bugs like sugar ants, June bugs and Asian Lady Beetles; and let’s not forget mice and rats and racoons and bats. We are trained to stop them. And we will do it in a way that is safe for you. Now is the time to shut these critters down, before they move into your home.

It’s Gonna be Wet-Prepare for Winter! “Summer was here and gone, Fall is soon spent, Winter is around the corner so it is time to get your car or truck serviced,” says Bill Morrow, owner of Morrow’s Automotive Inc. “Vehicles take a lot of abuse from a variety of sources: from the road, the weather, and the driver. For everyone’s safety’s sake, a thorough biannual check-up is wise. Call me for an appointment-then bring your car in and I will check the hoses, the belts, the brakes, the coolant, the thermostat, the tires, the oil levels & quality and, not to be forgotten, the air conditioner. Few drivers know that a properly running air conditioner will de-humidify the air that comes out of your defroster, thusly making the defrost more effective not only on your windshield, but also making the air drier so that you can be warmer-this is a good thing when it’s damp in Oregon. Second, servicing your air conditioner has an added benefit of maximizing the life of the equipment, saving you big dollars.” ASE Certified.

OAKRIDGE BIKE TRAIL BLAZING GOATS T

by Gary Carl

he sport of mountain biking requires trails. Many, if not most, of these trails are multi-user trails meaning hikers, equestrians and cyclists also utilize the trails. Almost all of these trails are located on public land and thus they fall under the jurisdiction of the Forest Service. This is the story of those trails… who builds ‘em, who takes care of ‘em and in a time of shrinking government budgets exactly how these trails are maintained. There are several organizations that perform trail maintenance work in the Willamette National Forest, … GOATS (Greater Oakridge Area Trail Stewards), the Disciples of Dirt, High Cascade Forest Volunteers, the Scorpions, and the Back Country Horsemen (Emerald Empire Chapter) are the most notable. This article focuses on the GOATS, but the others are also actively involved in the

construction and maintenance of the trails in the Willamette National Forest and elsewhere. Some of these trails, it should be noted, were originally built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. Other trails evolved from pioneers’ travel routes and before that Native American use. In all, there are literally hundreds of miles of trails currently being used on our public lands for recreational purposes. The Greater Oakridge Area Trail Stewards (GOATS) mission is to protect, create and enhance quality trail experiences for mountain bikers in cooperation with other trail users in the Oakridge area. In addition, they actively promote responsible trail use, support volunteer trail work, assist land managers with trail management issues and improve relations among all trail user groups. Ben Beamer helped to launch the GOATS and got the ball rolling by successfully working to achieve a technical grant from the National Parks Service, Rivers & Trails Conservation Assistance program to create the Oakridge-Westfir Community Trails Plan in 2004. By 2008

the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) designated Oakridge as one of their first “Ride Centers” and has continued to assist in funding projects and create partnerships between agencies and land managers. Beamer has been in the forefront of GOATS and was the Chairman of the Board of Directors up until 2013 when four committees were formed and an organizational shift occurred. John Lucachick has assumed the helm of the organization as Chairman of the Board of Directors. Meanwhile, four committees now form the backbone of GOATS: Operations, Communications, Youth Activities and Development. Lucachick wants GOATS to have increased visibility in the local community and hopes that more local residents will become involved. In the end, he says, perhaps folks who come here mainly to recreate on our trails will move here and decide to make Oakridge their permanent home. Two people who did exactly that are June Johnson and Phil Nagle, currently they are the Co-Directors of Operations

Oregon Community Connection Magazine Fall 2014 Edition

for GOATS, both are now retired and come from a small business background. They moved to Oregon about 6 years ago and have worked as mountain bike guides for the past 9 or 10 years. They love working in the out of doors and have been doing trail work for years. They see GOATS as a social organization as well and they are good friends with other GOATS members in the community. They have a solid reputation for getting things done right … the first time. But no discussion of trail work and GOATS would be complete without mentioning the hours and hours of work done by Derrick Bell, the guy who organized the trail work for GOATS since its’ inception in 2007. GOATS has played a key role in working with the Forest Service to forge a partnership for trail design and maintenance and while Ben Beamer has been the main driving force behind GOATS, Derrick Bell has been the guy at the working end of the shovel. Derrick moved to Oakridge from Eugene in 1996 and worked with a local contractor. From there he carved out a niche for himself picking up whatever he could find so that he could support his main love which was mountain biking in and around the Oakridge area. Today, you will find Derrick working at the Willamette Mountain Mercantile Bike shop www.willamettemountainmercantile.com, hanging out at the Brewer’s Union Pub www.brewersunion.com or out working on trails. He has probably spent more time than anyone helping to maintain the trails network in the Willamette National Forest Middle Fork Ranger

District. The role he handed off to Phil Nagle and June Johnson this past year. It has been several years in the process, says Beamer, but the projects that were launched several years ago are about to come to fruition! Soon we will be seeing lots of new construction on the ground around Oakridge/Westfir. Beamer is looking forward to kiosks and pavilions; bike racks and bike wash stations as well as a new trail… a different kind of trail that is innovative and will incorporate flow trail design components. Nothing like this currently exists in Oakridge/Westfir, says Beamer. It will officially be opened for access in 2015. The innovative new trail, way finding signage, pavilions and kiosks, and folks like Ben Beamer, Derrick Bell, John Lucachick, June Johnson & Phil Nagle ensure that Oakridge will continue to be the Mountain Biking Capital of the Northwest. Come visit Oakridge and ride our trails and be sure to stop in

at the Willamette Mountain Mercantile Bike Shop to pick up your maps, get trail information or just say hi to Eugene Cathcart, the shop’s manager. •

CCB #192431

Tree services are finally catching up with the damage caused by one of the roughest winters the Willamette Valley has seen in years, so it’s a good idea to be proactive to prepare your trees for the upcoming winter before inclement weather strikes. Brian Jones of A-1 Ron’s Stump & Tree Removal, a family business since 1989, says “There’s still time to check your trees before costly damage occurs to avoid doing it during or following a storm, when tree services are busy. “What we do is inspect your trees and provide an assessment to show you where the danger is. This will prevent expensive damage from fallen trees or limbs on valuable structures, vehicles, animals, and even people. So don’t put off that tree inspection, as the best time for an assessment is before a disaster occurs.” The value of your property can also be increased by maintaining your trees through a health assessment, as A-1 tree experts can spot tree weaknesses that lead to falling trees and branches. Call A-1 today to identify which trees are assets and which are liabilities. Brian reminds us that “trees, like humans, have a life expectancy, as they too suffer from disease and decay, and should be checked yearly. As time progresses, you’ll find healthy trees, unwanted trees, and dangerous trees. In any case, we’ll give you a free estimate, and if needed, we’ll provide experienced service to clean up and finish the job.” In every job, you can count on A-1 to care for your property with modern equipment. With A-1’s acquisition of a 60-foot boom truck, efficiency and safety has improved, reducing costs in some cases, although tree climbing might still be needed. To help with the upkeep of your property, discounts for military personnel, teachers, and seniors will be honored through January.”

Call us NOW to inspect. A damaged tree is a dangerous tree!

559 Ivy St. Junction City Drop-in or Call 541-998-5185 Sun 8am-Midnite; Mon-Thu 11am-Midnite; Fri-Sat 8am-2am

With two eating establishments in Junction City, James and Lynn Stoddard stay busy meeting the needs of their customers. Their first local venture, Bugsy’s Bar and Grill on Ivy Street, fulfilled their dream of owning a friendly hometown watering hole. But then some customers asked to allow minors in Bugsy’s, while others said they liked Bugsy’s for downtime away from the kids. Aiming to please all their customers, the Stoddards purchased the barbecue restaurant down the street from Bugsy’s and across from Safeway and turned it into a family friendly restaurant called Hawgz Family Dining and BBQ. Now their customers can bring their kids while enjoying a meal and a drink. The Stoddards are making some changes at Hawgz since it first opened in May. Lynn sends an open invitation to all.

Office Equpiment with a Difference

“As we all know, developing a team takes time, nurturing and a constant caring,” owner Dan Healey said. “We are proud of the talented and tenured staff we have put together. We are a family business doing business with a handshake and making sure your business runs smoothly with the very best products, and people to keep them working the way they should.” My father started in this business in 1963 as a salesman. Within 5 years he became the company’s GM for 29 stores. Then in 1972 he purchased the Eugene & Medford locations and started out on his own. He kept the same employees that he knew were the reason for his success and simply changed the name. National Photocopy was born. My father’s motto was “to do what is rightfor the customer, cost wasn’t the issue, integrity was”. I am proud to say that I had him as my mentor, and he instilled these qualities in me. I have carried these from the day I started as a delivery driver in 1978 through today as the President. I recognize that having quality people around you is what makes the difference between people that say they will give you good service, and those that do it. Same day service, and most importantly we fix it right the first time! We understand that everyone has different needs. We offer the most highly recognized brands in the business. Your needs may dictate something state of the art, or not-so-much. New, or refurbished, we treat everyone the same. In fact, our biggest pleasure is the constant repeat customers. That tells us we are doing our job right! Come experience what the National Photocopy difference is really all about. Is your current Canon dealer telling you they can’t service you anymore? Feeling forced to have to trade in the machine you love? Give us a call, we can help! We will offer you a service agreement on the unit you have. You have choices!

From Our Family to Yours by Josh Rossow

“I virtually grew up at Mid-Valley

Tractor Company. As soon as I could reach the controls I would be on the next model of tractor, bucket loader, lawn mower or ATV that was brought onto the lot. Who needs a computer game when you’ve got a shiny Polaris or Kubota to play with? Customers come into our store daily and need advice on which piece of equipment would be right for their needs. I have been able to give useful honest answers because of my experience. My brother Jeff, my dad John, and our crew of twelve all add to the level of expertise. People who come into our store benefit from our collective experience and leave with the right piece of equipment. We have quality machines at reasonable, no hassle prices. When a customer leaves here, he/she feels like one of our family and knows we are always here to support their needs. This is why I enjoy what I do. The story behind Mid-Valley Tractor started with my father more than 30 years ago. He and my mother, Ruth, who became the office manager, built a legacy here that they passed down to their three children. My sister moved on to another career, while my brother and I still work here and are now partners. We are in the process of taking over the business in the future. We too would like to pass on the business to our children like our parents did. We not only work together, but we play together. We spend time helping each other improve our home properties using the

equipment that we sell and also having fun riding ATVs on the sand dunes. This has helped our employees build a strong relationship and it shows. Our business stands apart from others because we pride ourselves in building lifelong relationships, whether or not our customers purchase a machine from us. If someone bought an ATV somewhere else and then brings it into us, we want to show our new customers that we are willing to take care of them and be there for their needs. We also have a very knowledgeable service department that works on most tractors and ATVs. One of our servicemen has been here since I was 8 years old, and I’m 29 today. Much of our customer base comes from word of mouth, with customers referring us to friends. When folks come in, we like to sit and talk with them. We ask questions about their property and what they plan to use the equipment for, and then we try to find the right machine for them. What we like to do is provide knowledge and then let our customers decide for themselves what is best. After our customers purchase a piece of equipment, we take the time to go through the entire machine with them. We also deliver locally for free. When the delivery person arrives, he will also answer any questions in detail on the customer’s

property. For warranty issues, we come out and pick up the equipment at no charge, then fix it and bring it back. Another outstanding feature about our business is that we work hard to be honest and fair, since we want our customers to think of us as family. We prefer to spend more time teaching customers about our equipment rather than haggling over price, so we do our research ahead of time to factor in all the manufacture’s discounts and then pass those on to our customers from the beginning to make sure they get a fair price. In October, our dealership was selected as one of five Oregon dealers to offer the Polaris Slingshot, a new on-road three wheeled motorcycle, where riders sit side-by-side. Drop in and test drive this innovative machine at our showroom on 90382 Hwy. 99 or call 541-688-8000 to place an order for one today. Also, you can visit www.midvalleytractor.com.” •Josh Rossow•

A Seven-Acre Oasis In A Quiet Forest There is so much, you need to see to understand. Simply put, Paradise Springs offers an unmatched locale that combines rugged comfort with a touch of feminine elegance. The Lodge— From the parking lot there is a short path through ferns and native Oregon plants—the beauty is intoxicating—and then you arrive at the Lodge. It is a 2,400 sq. ft. classy cabin that is great for a weekend retreat or a private location to prepare for your wedding. It also has 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, full kitchen, laundry room, located near the Hall and is ADA accessible. Rent for any occasion. Spa packages available. The Hall— Entering the Hall is like going back in time when wood was king of building materials. Your eyes are

pulled to solid wood beams holding up a vaulted ceiling, then the wood trim that surrounds multiple large windows, and then the native wood floor. All began their journey to here from the Hull Oakes Lumber Co. just north of Monroe. All lend a warmth to any gathering that is held here. The Hall also has a full commercial kitchen, flatware for 200, an integrated audio visual system and a wrap-around patio that overlooks a koi pond. The Gazebo— Watching a couple step up onto the main floor of the Gazebo and share their vows is a privilege not to be forgotten. The Bridge— Standing above water, looking at koi, seeing the rustic waterwheel turn, and being mesmerized by watching the ripples—settles the mind and gives peace to the soul.

SASS is a non-profit organization providing accessible advocacy, support and outreach to survivors of sexual violence and their partners, families and friends throughout Lane County. SASS was formed in 1991 when the Rape Crisis Center closed it’s doors. SASS’s advocates listen, believe, support, accompany, offer information and referrals and provide peer counseling to survivors of assault, past and present. Our empowerment-based, survivor-centered approach to ending sexual violence and the forms of oppression that allow it to exist is presented in our volunteer training (see bottom of page for information). Crisis and support line: 541-343-7277 or 1-800-788-4727

DROP-IN CENTER: No appointment is needed, to receive information and support in a welcoming Environment. Tues-Thurs 9:00am to 4:00pm

ADVOCACY: 24-hour in-person response to assist with navigating legal and medical systems, provide accompaniment, information, and emotional support. SUPPORT GROUPS: Survivors share their stories and support one another while also engaging in self exploration and self empowerment. Two trained facilitators attend each group.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH: SASS is dedicated to increasing access to services for underserved populations. Current programs provide culturally specific education and support to rural and student communities. Through outreach we hope to form greater community partnerships throughout Lane County.

By Vera Westbrook exual violence is a taboo subject that occurs frequently, yet this type of assault or abuse remains one of the most under reported crimes. Based on the Justice Department’s National Crime Victimization Survey from 2008-2012, 60 percent of sexual assaults went unreported. Should you or someone you know encounter sexual violence, it helps to know about community resources that assist survivors of sexual assault before those resources are needed. One such resource is Sexual Assault Support Services or SASS. SASS is a nonprofit agency located in Eugene that’s dedicated to ending oppression and sexual violence in Lane County. Folks living in rural areas and outside Lane County are also welcome to contact SASS, where they’ll find emotional support, information about sexual assault, and help with locating resources nearby. The agency has been around for decades, yet for individuals residing in rural areas, multiple barriers may result in accessing services or realizing that SASS exists for survivors of sexual violence. SASS Rural Outreach Coordinator Jenna Gelardi presents the following information for the general public to increase awareness about sexual violence and SASS. “Prior to SASS was the Rape Crisis Network that was open for about 10 years around 1980,” Gelardi says. “It was run by volunteers from Eugene and Lane County, and it closed its doors in December 1990. After several months of meetings, mem-

bers from the community and the University of Oregon decided to open SASS in July of 1991 due to the need for services for survivors of sexual assault.” Today, SASS is run by 11 funded positions with the help of some 50 volunteers and is funded primarily through grants. Services include a 24/7 crisis and support line, 24/7 advocacy, and drop-in hours on T-Th 9-4. SASS also holds drop-in and closed support groups for survivors. The two drop-in groups are for self-identified females 18 and older from 7-8:30pm every Monday, and a gender inclusive group for those18 and older from 7-8:30pm the first Wednesday of the month. Drop-in groups require no commitment to come every week and allow participants to share in a confidential, supportive atmosphere. The closed groups vary on community need and interest. “Our focus is on survivor-centered services for those who have experienced sexual violence themselves, or for partners, friends, and families of survivors,” Gelardi says. “We provide information, we don’t give advice, we don’t tell people what to do, and we don’t tell people what we think they should do. We offer resources and emotional support.” SASS works with hospitals too. “If someone was recently assaulted and would like accompaniment to the hospital, we can offer to go with them, or if they are unsure what to do, we provide information on their options and support them in whatever they choose to do,” Gelardi says. “We have a standing proto-

col in place with hospitals, where they call us if someone comes to the emergency room and presents being assaulted, an example of our 24-hour advocacy service. “We also provide advocacy by going to the courthouse with people to support them in acquiring protective orders, or we support them when filing a police report. We provide information with possible outcomes. We never tell people we know what will happen, because we don’t, and every case is different. We always believe, validate, and listen.” If you are looking for more information or support, please feel free to call Sexual Assault Support Services crisis and support line at any time, locally at 541-343-7277, or in Oregon at 800-7884727. Also visit the office on 591 W. 19th Ave. in Eugene near Jefferson Street. SASS aims to provide accessible, inclusive services to survivors, along with their partners, friends, and family. Services are free and confidential, with no mandatory reporting obligation. Also visit the SASS website at sass-lane.org. In honor of survivors of sexual violence, the public is invited to a November art exhibit called ‘Pearls of Ingenious: Celebrating Survivor Creativity.’ This event is presented by SASS and will be held from 5:30-8pm on Friday, Nov. 7, at Eugene’s First Friday Art Walk at the Eugene Piano Academy on 507 Willamette St., where artwork will be contributed by sexual survivors with no particular theme. •

HOW’S YOUR WATER ?

Andy Cobb, owner of Coastal Range Water, has lived in this area all of his life. He is a country boy from Noti who is unique amoung the water service professionals—he is personable and he is able to analyze your water situation, whether it is for a residence or a farm, and tell you what you need and why you need it. “I answer the phone 24/7,” Cobb says. “I believe that when people don’t have water, it can become a crisis quickly.

Testimonial from a customer

Creswell Tire Factory is owned by Rory Tyler who has been with the company for twenty-four years. He was raised in Pleasant Hill and loves to support his local community. He sets the standard for integrity and service and community service. Now here’s my tire story: My tire guage was showing that I was losing pressure in the right rear tire of my car so I pulled into my usual ‘big name tire’ place and asked them to check it out. The service man immediately went to my LEFT rear tire and began feeling it. I repeated that it was my RIGHT rear that I was concerned with and he told me I had a belt in my LEFT that had broken and the tire would soon fall apart. (I couldn’t feel it.) He added that it was standard practice to replace all four tires because they were all set to fail. I told him to please check the RIGHT one and fix it. He argued a little and gave me a price for ‘comparable’ replacement. It was in the $1100 range (4 tires). I said I must wait. He then went to the RIGHT, took it off, dip-tanked it, fixed the leaking nail hole and told me my tires could fail at any moment. I got out of there quick and decided then to check

Rory Tyler, owner of Creswell Tire Factory around for a different dealer. I pulled into Creswell Tire Factory and asked for advice with my ‘failing tires’. Rory came out and assessed my situation. He told me that my tires were not in danger of immediate failure and had quite a few more miles in them. This is what I needed to hear because I needed to plan for this expense. I could see my tires were getting near the rub bars so now I felt I had time to save. I asked Rory for a price on a comparable tire to what I had on. He gave me a price on a higher rated but even quieter 70,000 mile tire and I was surprised-$830 minus a $60 Cooper Tire rebate! With the first ‘big name’ dealer I felt I was being hustled. With Rory there was no scare tactics or lies, I got honest answers. Two months later I rolled into the Creswell Tire Factory and had my new tires put on. The crew was great. During the drive home the tires were quiet and smooth ,and I had saved $330! I’m taking all my vehicles to the Creswell Tire Factory from now on. Integrity and honesty and community service, it is good to know that they are alive and well in Creswell. •Steve R.•

What is Nose Work? All dogs have noses and they use their noses to hunt down scents. There is a fun dog activity that lets dogs use that hunting skill to seek out odors that we train them to look for— that activity is called ‘Nose Work’. Unlike tracking the sport of Nose Work is a detection style sport where dogs and handlers work as a team to find scent hides filled with targeted odors. Each level of the sport consists of four search Elements: Interior (room searches), Exterior (outdoor areas), Vehicle (outside of vehicles) and Containers. Depending on the Nose Work trialing organization there are various levels of difficulty as teams earn titles. Even if you are not competition minded there are benefits of training scent skills with your dog. Playing the Nose Work game is a great activity that uses the dogs mind and physical energy. Short training sessions will give your dog a workout. The activity doesn’t require any obedience training—if you have a young, active dog this is a natural activity for them and doesn’t require a lot of self control. It can help dogs learn to focus. Check our web site for upcoming classes and join in the fun!

What’s Our Story? Norwest Safety

By Linne Furse, Owner n 1978, Norwest Safety was a local startup, two guys with backgrounds in industrial safety who decided to go out on their own and form a new company in Eugene. Their goal was to do a better job of serving the state south of Portland, and to do it from the heart of the Willamette Valley. We wives were on board from day one, helping fill all the roles a young company needs to function and grow. Thirty-six years later, Norwest is a fixture in Eugene. We are the first and only local independent safety supply house specializing in personal protective equipment for industry, construction, farming, food processing, utilities, or virtually any other commercial operation. As the last working owner of the original four, I still find every day challenging and satisfying, working with businesses and individuals

645 Wilson St., Eugene

keeping people safe from hazards on the job. Jerry Young joined Norwest as our General Manager 12 years ago, and added more than 30 years’ experience working with businesses all over the state to the company profile. We are backed by a seasoned crew, including daughter Jennifer Furse with 14 years in the purchasing seat. The importance of protecting our eyes, ears, heads, hands, lungs, and bodies so we end each day safe and healthy is obvious. OSHA reminds us, but we all want that for ourselves, our family members and co-workers. Norwest Safety is still here because we listen to our customers, keep up with product options, and maintain local inventory to serve our community. We are wholesale trade, not retail, so we have a small showroom with a counter, where we try to display the wide range of products we offer

on site or special order. Meanwhile, a step away in the warehouse we have hundreds of options — gloves from basic to very specialized, protective clothing from Gore-Tex to Tyvek, first aid kits and products, hardhats, safety glasses, eyewash stations, locks and lockouts, fall protection, respiratory protection — on the shelf and ready to ship or will call. Our goal is to match options in safety equipment to customers’ needs, from linemen to chefs, so they have the protection they need and can be comfortable and productive. It’s a great spot to be in when someone comes in and waves a damaged product at the counter, such as a pair of ripped chainsaw chaps or cracked safety goggles, saying they want another pair “just like this!” because when the product absorbed the impact, they stayed safe. •

He is safe and the roof is not being damaged. Remember that roofing tiles, whether concrete or clay, are brittle. Steel roofs are slick and should only be stepped on by experts. Asphalt shingles, with age, also become brittle. “Asphalt shingles are common in the northwest.

Delicious Apples Into Delicious Juice (and Cider) C

ider has come full circle. It was popular in the U.S. in the early 1800s, when frontier nurseryman John Chapman, also known as Johnny Appleseed, sold, planted and gave away, easy growing apple seedlings to settlers in the expanding west. Chapman’s apples were primarily used for cider and applejack (hard cider). The apple varieties at Detering Orchards, near Harrisburg, are tasty for eating, cooking, canning and, making juice and cider. Deterings have been selling nonalcoholic apple cider as a staple from their farm store for 50 years. “We have a pretty large press operation and we make thousands of gallons of cider every year, “ says Detering Orchards president and operations manager Greig Detering. Detering Orchards is currently one of

the few farms in the Willamette Valley with a large apple press. “The cider industry has multiplied a hundred times in popularity since five years ago. Previously, 10 to 15 percent of our apples would be turned into juice that we sold at our store. It was not hard cider. With the recent demand for hard cider, that doubled to about 25-30 percent going to juice. Many come to us because we have all the equipment to press apples for cider.” One Eugene company, Wildcraft Cider Works, plans to use thousands of gallons of cider per month, much of which will come from the Deterings, until the company gets its own fruit press fully operational. At that time the company will buy fresh fruit. “We are selling them not only apple juice, but pear, cherry and peach, so they can make different hard cider flavors. We grow 38 varieties of apples with about 20 used for cider, mixing tarter with sweeter apples as they come in season.” Greig describes how the fruit press works; “We pick the apples, load them into the press, then the machine chops up and crushes the apples. It uses a hydraulic press to extract the majority of apple juice. The juice then goes through a quick pasteurizer to eliminate any possibility of

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday 8:30-5pm

Now accepting new patients E. Coli. We then sell the cider fresh out here at the orchard. When it’s operating, it takes about three people to run the press. We can process about 15 Bins or 10,000 pounds of apples per day.” Another benefit of the hard cider industry is that no apples go to waste, which often happens during a good growing season. For those interested in purchasing different flavors of ciders, both fresh and frozen, call the Deterings for their cider press schedule, as it does not run all the time. Patrons are welcome to bring their own containers for larger quantity freshly pressed cider. For more information, Call 541-995-6341 or visit the Detering Orchards website at www.deteringorchards.com or stop by the farm stand that’s open every day while apples are in stock, some years until March.

“We looked in all the neighboring towns and found we liked the friendly atmosphere in Junction City, an area filled with farmers and good people,” James said. “We are happy here and extend an invitation to the community to visit our place for some good food and local cheer. “We serve breakfast all day and will soon add salads to our menu. We have the best California Club sandwiches and burgers, served by two local chefs—Joe from ‘Eat at Joe’s’ in Low Pass and Scott, both with 25 years of experience; and also a recent addition, Chef Jason. “Enjoy yourself at our place during happy hour from 4-6pm while playing video lottery or keno, or you can watch our big screen TV. We serve 8 beers on tap with wines and spirits. Enjoy Tuesday karaoke and live bands/DJs on weekends. “We offer daily drink and meal specials and are open 7 days a week, M-Th 11am-midnight, Fri-Sat 8-2:30am, and Sun 8am-midnight. For parties of 10, we have a VIP room. Come join the fun and remember: You don’t have to go to a bar just to drink. We have great food and entertainment too.”

Towing for Work and Pleasure With nice weather upon us, reasons to tow increase. Folks tow speed boats to lakes, fishing boats to rivers, motorcycles to mountains, ATVs to sand dunes, horse trailers to riding trails, and campers to camps sites. Workers tow as well, using utility trailers for yard work, home repairs, and moving furniture. Now is the time to get your new and older vehicles in proper towing order to avoid the hassle of costly breakdowns along the road. With more than 20 years of hitching experience, the experts at Hitch Pro & Tow in West Eugene will make your towing experience a safe one. “We build and service trailer lights for new and older hookups, and we do electric and hydraulic brake controls,” says Hitch Pro’s president, Craig Metzger. “When we do wheel bearings, we don’t just add grease—we clean out the old grease, clean the bearing surfaces and pack in new grease. And then we check the alignment and align your vehicle if needed. “We can customize or modify hitches to fit almost any vehicle. We have tow bars for motor homes, motorcycle and bicycle racks, nerf bars, goosenecks, mud flaps, 5th wheels and a variety of ball hitches. We also build, install and service them all, because we want our customers to be confident that they are towing properly and safely.” Hitch Pro’s inventory is huge, serving trailers and the recreational vehicle industry, and is complimented by a staff of skilled technicians with critical training for a properly functioning vehicle and a safe experience. Hitch Pro & Tow’s website is worth the visit: www.hitchproandtow.net

Clean and Healthy Pork

It’s a comfort to know that Wuergler Family Farms in Drain emphasizes the humane treatment of animals on their custom-raised pork farm. The Wuergler’s strive to do what’s right while respecting the land and treating animals humanely to sustain local communities. “Our pigs are bred healthy in a clean environment, coming from good breeding stock with solid genetics,” say owners Steve and Bonnie Wuergler. “We use a quality feed program with whole grains and no growth hormones. “Because of our low-stress livestock handling coupled with daily interactions with family members, our champion quality show pigs have fine dispositions combining friendliness and curiosity. During farrowing (birthing) time it is not uncommon to pull all-nighters; pigs don’t groom their young when born, so we try to be in the barn with every birth to insure the babies are clean and dry and at least know how to find a teat in order to get their first colostrum.” “Steve is on the board of Oregon Pork Producers and has served on the National Pork Board, staying on top of industry issues. Our animal care providers and our farm are Pork Quality Assurance Plus certified.” For Quality meat at a reasonable price, Call Today.

Enjoying Your Winter on the Oregon Coast

watchers. Last January, with the Willamette Valley socked in under a thick inversion for almost two weeks, we escaped to the Oregon coast twice – both Winchester Bay and Florence – where the sunshine was incredible and a welcome respite from the cold, foggy valley. What is there to do on the mid-Oregon Coast in the winter? Pretty much any tourist attraction you enjoy in the summer is still open in the winter with greatly reduced crowds. The central Oregon coast also offers tons of outdoor winter adventures. Obviously, beach combing and tide pooling are high on many people’s list, with all of Oregon’s beaches publicly accessible. Lincoln City encourages winter beach combing with its Finders Keepers program in which brightly colored, hand-crafted glass floats and other treasures are left on the beaches for lucky searchers to find. Or try hiking some of the many trails at Cape Perpetua scenic area where the forest meets the sea just south of Yachats. The Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area spans for 40 miles along the coast from Florence to North Bend providing miles of trails for hiking and enjoying off-road vehicles. Or get inland and explore an estuary at the South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve in Charleston or one of the many coastal lakes. Wildlife lovers will want to watch for grey whales migrating south from Alaska to Mexico. This year, Winter Whale Watching Week is from December 27 through the 31 with Oregon State Parks hosting “Whale Watching Spoken Here” volunteers at about two dozen locations along the Oregon Coast. These volunteers will assist visitors in spotting the gray whales. Sea lions are often found along the coast, but in the winter they are commonly seen in the cave at Sea Lion Caves. And of course, during low tide the tide pools are full of colorful and unusual creatures.

Foodies will enjoy the The Oyster Cloyster on November 1 in Newport, the Lincoln City Chowder Cook-Off on November 8-9, the Annual Charleston Crab Feed on February 14, and the Newport Seafood and Wine Festival, February 19-22, 2015. The annual Yachats Celtic Music Festival on November 14-16 will keep your toes tapping. And of course, there are several special holiday activities including Newport’s lighted Christmas Boat Parade (December 17-21), the Heceta Head Lightstation’s Victorian Christmas Open House (December 13-14 & 20-21) between Florence and Yachats, and the ever popular Holiday Lights at Shore Acres in Charleston (November 27 through December 31) with over 300,000 lights in their walk-through display. In short, there is something for everyone during the winter on the Oregon Coast. •

Heavy rain splattered hard against our windshield as we pulled

into Newport early one December evening. It was just after 5pm and already nighttime had descended upon us with its blackness. Weather forecasters predicted heavy storms throughout western Oregon that weekend, including along the coast, and so we came prepared. When my partner, Diana, and I began planning our weekend get-away earlier that fall, more than one person questioned why we would pick the Oregon coast. As long-time Oregonians, we knew that the Oregon coast can be beautiful in the winter and with the summer tourist crowds gone, we would have it mostly to ourselves. From our beachfront hotel, we spent the night watching the storm rage in off the ocean, the gas fireplace flickered in the darkness and our holiday DVDs kept us company.

The next morning we woke up to a beach swept clean and sun reflecting off the watery sand. Though it was early December, we ate breakfast outside (albeit, in our jackets) at a restaurant with a great view of the Newport harbor. With the sun shining brightly we set out to explore the rugged Oregon coast at Yaquina Head. The interpretive center and the beautiful Yaquina Head lighthouse were quiet, making our climb to the top of the lighthouse – Oregon’s tallest – less hurried. As the rains started again that afternoon, we headed inside to the Oregon Coast Aquarium, where we had the Passages of the Deep entirely to ourselves. That evening, we enjoyed the lighted Christmas Boat Parade before settling in for another stormy night. But don’t think that winters on the Oregon Coast are just for storm

After twenty-three years of living in Alaska, my husband Ben and I packed our dogs, Zoe and Kaylee, and our cat, Maddie, in our motorhome and took off with the vague idea of moving somewhere in Oregon. As luck would have it, our house didn’t sell as planned, and we were “forced” to continue traveling long after we’d planned. As we were thoroughly investigating Highway 101 and the Oregon Coast, we stumbled upon the Chinook RV Park. We enjoyed our brief stay immensely, and moved on down the coast. When we finished the Oregon coast, and our house still hadn’t sold, we debated our options and decided to go back to the place we’d all been the happiest - Chinook RV. When our house finally did sell, we hated the idea of leaving and asked if we could stay another month. That’s when the owners told us they wanted to retire and move closer to grandkids. And that’s how, in March 2014, we found ourselves the very proud and excited new owners of the Chinook RV Park. It is truly a special place, and we look forward to providing our guests with the same great service and wonderful experience that we enjoyed as guests here. Let me describe our park to you The Chinook RV Park is small, peaceful, safe and very pet friendly with a much-loved area where your dog can run offleash. You can fish or kayak right from our wetlands. Or just sit by the river and enjoy the spectacular view. Your pets will love it here - and so will you! Our 22 full hook-up sites are large (30 ft wide) with ample parking for your toad or boat, and room to enjoy our long summer evenings. We also have 12 grassy, water/electric only sites for smaller RVs. We have

a large communal greenspace and fire pit area. The park offers free high-speed Wi-Fi, restrooms, showers and a laundry (with iron and ironing board). We actively encourage recycling and strive to be as green as possible with our campers’ help. We are located on the Alsea River, just 3.3 miles from Hwy 101 at the intersection with Hwy 34 in Waldport.

Testimonials —We rarely have found an RV park that we want to review. We have stayed in Chinook for a month on the last two years - both under the past and present owners. We really enjoyed our stay both years. The present owners, Ben & Becky, are friendly, helpful, and enthusiastic. The park is small enough that, if you want, you can meet most everyone there. If you have a dog, you surely will meet the other dog owners. There is a great area for dog walks either on or off leash. The park is also a great place for bird watching. We definitely recommend Chinook RV Park! Kit & Butch

Whether it’s crabbing or fishing the Alsea Bay or River, whale watching, beachcombing, kayaking, agate hunting, racing around the sand dunes near Florence, hiking the hillsides at Cape Perpetua, or just sitting quietly and enjoying nature, Chinook RV Park is perfectly located on the central Oregon coast. The Alsea Bay is designated an “IMPORTANT BIRD AREA” by the Audubon Society, so we’re a perfect place to bird watch. Look for the elk herd and spot the harbor seals swimming by.

Chinook RV Park

—If you love your dog, you will love this park. A very large and well groomed grass off-leash park is a feature not found anywhere else in our considerable experience. The new friendly and helpful owners have kept this park very neat and clean. Inside the small RV park there was virtually no noise during our stay. Highway noise is not a big issue, though noticeable. Park seems

to accommodate large and small rigs well. If in the area, you must stay here! Larry, Canada —I can’t believe that anyone would give this park less then five stars. My 36’ class A had at least ten feet to spare, and includes a second paved driveway for our towed car. Between the two is grass area with picnic table. By any RV Park standard they offer a very generous space. The area leading to the riverfront is a clean and well mowed lawn, with fire pits and seating. This huge area is also available for pets to run and play in and we saw a few people making use of it for their dogs. We enjoyed it for a night with a nice fire in the large block fire pit. For a small park they’ve made sure to offer everything the big parks do, including a free cable TV connection, and a strong wifi signal. All together this makes for one of the nicest parks we ever stayed in, with undoubtedly the friendliest and hardest working owners we ever encountered. This classic riverside park has been lovingly upgraded. Joe, Arizona

“Quality and Integrity had to be at the forefront of our business.” Visiting Angels we decided to make two ideals “When Michael Jamieson andtheI started forefront of our business: Michael

• A Culture of Appreciation and Recognition and • Continuity of Care”

“First, we focused on our culture. We recognized that the basis for our business was our Caregivers. Making them the priority and center of our business, we knew that we would retain our staff at a far greater rate than industry standards. By “honoring the art of giving” we were able to ensure continuity of care to our clients. “When we considered the type of care we would want to have if we needed care, we decided that we needed to be the Nordstrom of caregiving. Quality and Integrity had to be at the forefront of our business. As it turned out, choosing to create a culture that embraces accountability and recognition was not only the ‘right thing to do’, it was very good for business. “We have been blessed over the last five years to start a second branch in Southern Oregon and now enjoy serving almost 200 clients. We hope to be the new trend in how to honor your Staff and honor the Client in this expanding time of Boomers and Seniors.” Ed Emberlin, Co-Owner Visiting Angels - Eugene/Springfield & Southern Oregon Eugene/Springfield 541-505-7444 Southern Oregon 541-773-5002

Firstly, people like to buy locally from people they trust and probably know... or should know... and who will be accountable if anything goes wrong! We feel more secure if we know our neighbours; and what a useful bunch they are! —see what products and services we offer between us! As we tire of big businesses we inevitably look to local businesses who often offer the most sensible solution.
