the Long Tom Grange’s Daffodil Festival, March 18-19, 10am-4pm-besides the thousands of daffodils of course, are the famous cinnamon rolls- decadent desserts that are freshly baked throughout the two-day event to be delivered to waiting customers as fresh and gooey as humanly possible. “They’re the size of dinner plates,” said Danuta Pfeiffer, one of the event organizers. But, there are lots of other reasons to attend the festival. If you love daffodils or just enjoy nature’s bounty, feast your eyes on the famous “Daffodil Drive” along Ferguson Road en route to the grange. rolls were added, and the rest is history.

Over the years the festival has expanded to sales of cut and potted daffodils of all kinds, and serving foods and snacks. Juried vendors also sell antiques, collectibles and handmade items, and visitors can watch steel forging and other lost arts. A quilt show with a raffle for a handmade quilt, live music, a kid’s art show and horse-drawn carriage rides round out the offerings. Free onsite parking at the Grange, no shuttle necessary this year.

Salvage Sisters Antiques & More
By Kathy Rowland y sister-in-law, Laura, and myM self retired two years ago and decided to follow our passion--we love antiques and collectibles. It was easy to ‘adjust our lifestyle’ and switch to restoring, repurposing and bringing old furniture back to life. You can find results of our ‘works’ in the Courtyard on 6th, in Junction City. Recently the owner, John, came to us with an idea that we should consider making ‘mini rooms’ of furniture and collectibles displayed in a functional way. What a grand idea! So when you come to the Courtyard on 6th be sure to go upstairs and check out our new showrooms. Perhaps you’ll even get some decorating ideas, that’s fine with us. You can purchase individual items or
the entire room. That’s fine with us too. We invite you to come visit us at the Courtyard on 6th, in Junction City, Monday thru Saturday, 10-6pm. Do you want a fun day? Stop by the Courtyard and peruse away!
Laura’s phone number is 541-953-1194 Kathy’s phone number is 541-517-3079 Store hours are Monday thru Saturday from 10am to 6pm.

Lancaster - Circa Mid-1800s
Formerly, Woody’s Landing/Woodyville/Freedom
(An exerpt from “Oregon’s Main Street-Folk History” pages 284-6) “Heading north from Junction City towards Harrisburg, Highway 99E takes travelers past large farms on both sides of the road. Two miles on the left, a sign and an old gas station converted to an antique store marks the community of Lancaster, formerly known as Woody’s Landing or Woodyville. At one time, it was situated on the banks of the Willamette River and, during high water, boats from the north tied up at its docks to load and unload goods. Families began to settle around the landing since all the farmers in the area used it to ship their products to market...” In about 1853-1854, a man named “...Woody established a “house of entertainment,” wharves and storehouses there. He made and sold a popular local distilled beverage called Blue Ruin. Later, an island in the Willamette River was also named Blue Ruin, attesting to its popularity. “Woodyville was the trade center for the whole area. Competitors were not welcome and...” when others set up and tried to use another landing and storehouses nearby, the “...disagreements were not always peaceful, nor was the travel on the river. “Woody had a strangle-hold on the landing while it was in operation. When the California and Oregon Stage Company moved its stage stop from Milliorns, oneand-a-half miles west, to Woodyville, Woody received additional funding for the stage stop and post
office, extending his power. With no other access to markets, the area was increasingly dependent on Woody and his family. “When a competitive steamboat company tried to make it past Woody’s to a new landing, the waterway was blocked by newly-cut trees. Neighbors helped clear the channel and the steamship got through only to face the same problem the next time it came. “John Mulkey, who bought the property from Woody, built a sawmill there and renamed it Lancaster. He and his family also fought to maintain the monopoly on the river landing, even filing a legal complaint after attempting to block the passage. “The floods of the 1860s took their toll on the farmers and businesses. The greatest calamity for the community was the altered course of the river. The newly-grooved channel was to the east and the water no longer washed against the docks. There was no longer a landing. “Through the 1850s more settlers arrived, many on the wagon trains of the “Great Migration,” and began establishing farms, growing sheep, cattle and grain. “After the Lancaster landing was lost, the Long Tom River was thought to be a possibility for navigation, but boats couldn’t make it through. The nearest good steamboat landing was at Harrisburg. A ferry was available to cross the Willamette at Harrisburg and that made it possible to ship to Albany, Salem or Portland, but not easily. Wagons also brought goods in and out, but both means were subject to unreliable weather conditions. The wagon tracks were often muddy or marshy and slow – the Willamette River was subject to flooding and had a tendency to meander – and there was a constant shifting of gravel bars. “Later, when the possibility of the railroad through Junction City was in the offing, a few of the residents dragged or rolled their homes and business structures on logs to Junction City. One of the residents who moved was Dr. N.L. Lee, the Lancaster physician. He was one of the first graduates of Willamette University and the first physician to set up a practice in the area. He later engaged in practice at Junction City and Lebanon.”
To order, go on the web to: allthingslorane.com/published-books Editor’s note: Dr. Lee’s home is now the “Lee House Museum” located on Holly St., near 6th Ave., in Junction City.

You Need to Know!
“Did you know a properly maintained Heating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) unit can improve your vehicle’s engine health? (see answer below) Did you know that your Heating unit and Air Conditioning unit are, for all practical purposes, one in the same? Did you know that a properly maintained HVAC will allow you to be warmer in the winter and give you more effective defrost air for your windshield? (your HVAC dehumidifies) Before you get desperate during the summer heat waves, NOW is the time to get an air conditioner check-up. Putting off maintenance for an HVAC runs the risk of damaging it and likely end up costing you much more later on. Drop by during business hours and I will check fluids at no charge, then we can set an appointment to do a complete air conditioner service. Here’s the answer to the first question. On a HOT DAY the HVAC system is designed to keep YOU and your ENGINE COOL. For this to happen it is critical that the HVAC oil level and refrigerant charge is to manufacture’s specifications. We use ECO friendly products that will restore your HVAC system back to Brand New Vehicle Factory Charge Specifications.” — Bill Morrow — ASE Certified. Bill Morrow does complete work on all automotive and light trucks (6.0 L and 7.3 L Diesel operation & service).

“Ninety percent of what we sell, we grow and that includes our greenhouse crops,” Pam Henderson says, “a bonus for locavores. All plants are also started from seed, avoiding the GMO (genetically modified organism) varieties.” Summer greenhouse crops include annuals, perennials, and herbs. “We have a nice clientele built up that knows we do a great job on hanging baskets,” Pam says. In June, the produce season begins with strawberries progressing to blueberries and caneberries like raspberries, marionberries, loganberries, and a variety of blackberries into August. “Start-

Have you tried Downtown Automotive Center? I use them and they are great. You should too.
Have you been Duped by Ransomeware?
One that came in my email has a return address of 'FedEx'. It was very 'official' looking. It said that I had a package waiting and that I need to contact them via email--they even provided me with a long tracking number (looks more official) AND special zip file that was suppose to give me more information. I DELETE If you are daring and have lots of money you can open the zip file. If you are using your enemy's computer I guess you might justify opening it BUT you'd better move far away when he/she finds out. In short, I talked with a person, who works at a chamber of commerce, who didn't think before they clicked . . . and they got clocked! It was ransomeware. The zip file opened and delivered an executable that froze their files. Of course there was a nice message saying that the 'cure' was to pay $$$$. And, of course, the email was untraceable. It's been over a month, the tourist season is coming, and the chamber is still struggling to regain enough files to get back to work. I don't know the solution that they will arrive at -- but I will keep you posted. UNTIL THEN don't open zip files from even 'good looking' sources unless you are ABSOLUTELY positive that it is safe. ~ Steve Rowland, publisher

From Sheldon to UO - Cooper Stiles
Local walk-on relief pitcher Cooper Stiles’ path to the
Ducks pitching mound has been anything but straight. Growing up, he was forced to avoid contact sports due to being born with only one kidney. He grew to love baseball and became a local star. The then-shortstop earned many accolades, including 2013 Class 6A Baseball Player of the Year after leading Sheldon High School to a state championship. Stiles enrolled in the UO in 2013 but broke his foot just weeks before baseball season started. Though he recovered well, he wasn’t able to return to his old position. Though he didn’t have much experience pitching, he was physically suited for it. He’d pitched a handful of times
in high school and had clocked a 92-mph fastball. However, his first year on the mound didn’t go well – he averaged a 7.27 ERA. His coaches gave him a choice – either find a way to contribute or leave the team. As luck would have it, Stiles’ father is also the pitching coach for the Ducks baseball team. Together, they watched YouTube videos of pitchers and practiced over the off season. They especially focused on the style of UCLA closer and sidearm pitcher David Berg, who still owns the NCAA record for single-season at 24 and was the first reliever in conference history to win Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year. Since switching to using a sidearm pitch he brought his ELA down from 7.27 to 3.52. Thanks to the switch he went from a rarely played walk-on to a relied-on relief pitcher who’s appeared in nearly every game played over his last two seasons. He’s now considered an indispensable part of the bullpen by Horton, who called him “brightest star of our team” in 2016. Stiles is a senior this year, majoring in general social science focusing on law. He has played for the Bend Elks in the West Coast Collegiate League during the off season and hopes to continue his baseball career after college. Men’s baseball is in season now.

ogy from UO and OSU Sports by Kirsten Albright y-Leading When Paisley, Ore., native Tess O’Leary enrolled in outside of Portland and Seattle, so coaches have to recruit Oregon State, she didn’t expect to be able to continue players from other sports. Track, basketball or volleyball acturers playing sports beyond the club level. Little did she know players are the most successful, since their frames suited to that within a year she’d make varsity in a sport she’d never participated in before-crew. This three letter star only played volleyball, basketball and track & field during high school and rarely set foot in a boat. She wasn’t recruited to OSU-she did have a few offers, but only from NCAA Division II schools that didn’t offer a degree she was interested in. Instead of pursing her sports career, she decided to enroll in OSU with a major in agricultural business management and a minor in communication. But it was hard for O’Leary to give up sports altogether. She lettered four times each in volleyball, basketball and track & field. She was all-league in each sport, won eight district and four state track individual titles, and was allstate four times. As good as she was, she knew she wouldn’t make varsity in the sports she’d played in high school. She’d nearly resigned herself to playing club sports when she received an email from the rowing coach, Emily Ford, inviting her and 80 others to open tryouts. After three weeks of grueling tests, O’Leary was only one of two people to make the team. O’Leary’s path to the rowing team isn’t as unusual as it sounds. High school rowing teams are rare in the northwest
the sport. Though the senior has done well in the sport, she’s done even better in the classroom, making the Pac-12 All-Academic First Team and the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association All-Scholar team. Oregon State’s rowing spring season starts on March 25 at the Longhorn invitational. The only chance to see the Beavers crew team in Oregon will be at the Oregon State Classic in Lowell on April 8.

The Families of Eugene’s “Castle on the Hill” 1887-Present
• The original owners, Dr. Thomas Winthrop Shelton MD and his wife Adah Lily Lucas, moved to Eugene in 1873 with their new baby daughter Alberta. In 1888 they completed construction for the cost of $8,000. Dr. Shelton was a successful doctor, drug-
• Robert McMurphey, a local businessman, married Alberta Shelton on July 31, 1893. Alberta graduated from the University of Oregon School of Music in 1886. Between 1894-1904 the McMurpheys had four daughters and two sons. Additionally, Alberta helped beautify the railroad depot and dedicated an ornate electric fountain • In 1950 The McMurphey family sold the house to Drs. Curtis and Eva Johnson. As a child, Eva had always dreamed of owning the “Castle on the Hill,” now she was able to purchase it for $30,000. Application was made to the city of Eugene to place their medical offices in the house-it was denied. Curtis and Eva had four children. Curtis

Monroe is proof that when a community works
together it can surmount all obstacles. An open house was held in the spring of 2013. It took six years of persistence to raise $2.4 million of private money and MAX create a library that is the envy of all small towns. It’s worth a stop to chat with the librarian and find out how useful this community library is.

a group that does not have the freedoms of our nation at heart. Now, I’m not trying to be political, but this opens up the internet to all manner of uncontrolled access. What we have seen in our office is an increase in the SCAMMERS who call you saying your computer is infected and they need to work on it! PLEASE if someone calls saying they are from Microsoft, telling you that your computer is infected or not working well in any way and they will fix it, DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM. HANG UP !!! They have no way of knowing what your computer is doing until you let them into it. We had one lady, who B paid by a credit card on her bank, to do whatever they were doing, and the next day her bank account was empty. I cannot stress this enough... HANG UP ON THEM !!! If your concerned about your computer please call us, and let us look at it, but in most cases this is just a scam to scare people.

Tree Upkeep Before the Next Storm S
RD
With tree services just catching up with damage caused by a Ponds rough, wet and windy winter, Brian Jones from A-1 Ron’s Stump & Tree Removal, a family business since 1989, says, “Now is the time to assess your trees so you aren’t doing it during a storm or after a storm when more damage occurs and tree services are busy. “We will inspect your trees and give you a complete assessment. We’ll show you where the danger is before a disaster occurs. This will prevent costly damage from falling trees or tree limbs dropping on cars and houses, and people. RSo don’t put off that tree inspection,33as 34 5 the best time for an assessment is in the summertime.” 3 The tree experts at A-1 prevent future property damage byNHS 4 W Y. spotting potential weaknesses that lead to fallen trees and branches. SE LB Y Keeping your trees well maintained with a tree health assessment can increase property value as well. Call A-1 to identify which trees are liabilities and which are assets. “Trees, like humans, suffer from disease and decay and have a life expectancy, so they should be assessed yearly,” Brian says. “You’ll find dangerous trees, healthy trees and unwanted trees. In any case, we’ll give you a free estimate, and if needed, we will provide you with experienced service to clean up and complete the job.” “A-1 has modern equipment for the upkeep of your property. Safety and efficiency was recently improved our acquisition of a 60foot boom truck, which reduces customer costs in some cases, but tree climbers may still be needed. To help with upkeep, discounts for teachers, seniors and military personnel will be honored through October. Call us NOW to inspect. A damaged tree is a dangerous tree!” .

that, chairs are what we work on the most at our shop! Here’s some basics about this very common item. FIRE STA. The most important joint on a chair is the seat to back joint. This joint is stressed every2time the chair is pushed4back or leaned on. The higher the chair back, the more stress there will be. To check that joint on your chairs, put your knee on the seat and push on the back. Do you see movement at that joint? If yes, it’s time to take 3 action! Things to check:
*If you see wood plugs on the back of the stiles, remove them, tighten screws & replace plugs. (This may require new stained & finished plugs.)

Carriage Me Back 1929 in Historic Brownsville, May 6-7
Story by Gini Bramlett Photos by Linn County Museum Friends
Travel back in time to the his-
toric pioneer town of Brownsville, (population 1,600) during its annual “Carriage Me Back,” where saloon girls invite you in for a clean bed and hearty meal,
see high society ladies sharing tea and gossip at the historic Moyer House,
enjoy costumed guides who escort you on horse-drawn carriage rides about town, and be entertained with 1929 music played by local musicians along the sidewalks.
The two-day event, held since 1987, is orchestrated by the Linn County Museum Friends. Volunteers in costumes act out scenes from the period, “with a little artistic license and a lot of fun,” said Joni Nelson, event coordinator. But, she jokingly warns, “We do not bring it up to current political correctness, so sometimes people may be offended.”
Life was good in 1929. “The stock market was still flying high, and there were speakeasys,” said Joni. Visitors to Brownsville can walk about town, stop by the museum, visit the nearly-restored Moyer House where local actors depict the times, scour the picture gallery and be whisked back to 1929 Brownsville.
Tickets for carriage rides can be purchased at the museum. Proceeds from the event benefit the Moyer House and help care for the artifacts at both the museum and the Moyer House. Anyone interested in participating, call Joni Nelson at 541-466-3084.

Getting The Most Out Of Your Urgent Care Visit by Dr. Desmond Crooks
What to bring (have this handy)
On just about any medical visit, there’s a lot going
on and it can seem like a blur. Overriding concerns can make it hard to focus, and you’ll likely do better if you have a few safeguards in place. 1- For instance, if you are able to write a list of all your symptoms before you come in, it can help significantly. It will remind you to give the provider all the information needed to make better decisions. 2- Secondly, even if you have all your medications memorized, it’s added insurance to have your medication list with you. Sometimes drugs can interact, and your provider may make treatment changes based on the medication list you provide. Supplements can be another important thing to have on that list, too. 3- Another important list are the questions you want to ask. Get your concerns addressed! Some people feel a bit uncomfortable asking the provider questions, but your questions can be instrumental in shaping the quality of the visit. Of course, physical relief from your condition is important, and so is addressing the psychological part – What will happen to you, what may the future bring? Let the provider know your concerns. 4- Your medical history is vital to getting the most out of your visit. Having knowledge about your medical history allows the provider to make the
60
diagnosis more accurately and it may save time, too. Most urgent care visits are quick and simple. Complex cases, however, can sometimes depend on many seemingly unimportant details – having a complete medical history is vital for these times.
What to expect near the end of your visit
Typically, a treatment plan will be discussed near the end of your urgent care visit. Go over the plan, asking questions and getting a sense of what you’ll be expected to do. Take notes-it’s the best time to make sure you know what to do when you get home.
Conclusion
☆ Know what you want to get out of the visit. ☆ Have a way to document what you learn during your visit. The answers you get to your questions will be at your fingertips! Some patients may use a notepad or a mobile device to write down the information. Other patients may bring an advocate – someone that can take notes or help go through your list of questions/concerns. This can be so helpful! There are seven Urgent Care locations. All can be found inside this magazine. Look in the index under “Medical”it could be wise to locate the one nearest you and have the address and phone number handy.

Dorris Ranch
Story by Gini Bramlett Photos by Willamalane Park and Rec. District
Put This Family Place On Your Bucket List If you’re a nature enthusiast, a history buff or both,
a visit to Dorris Ranch in Springfield should be on your bucket list. Dorris Ranch in southwest Springfield, part of the Willamalane Park and Recreation District is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. It is a national historic site, a working farm and a public park complete with walking trails and natural areas. The ranch also serves as the western access point of the paved, four-mile-long Middle Fork Path, which runs to Clearwater Park. Dorris Ranch is recognized as the first commercial filbert orchard in the United States. Oregon’s history with filberts started in 1892 when George Dorris and his wife Lulu bought 250 acres of fertile land along the Willamette River and dedicated their lives to farming. After experimenting with a variety of crops, George established the first commercial filbert orchard in the United States. Over the next 50 years the Dorris family planted 9,200 trees at the ranch and harvested more than 50 tons of nuts each year. Now, more than 100 years later, Dorris Ranch continues to make history as a fully-productive commercial filbert orchard. More than half of all the commercial filbert trees now growing in the United States originated from Dorris Ranch nursery stock.
The working ranch contains 11 orchards containing more than 9,000 trees on 75 acres. A local orchardist maintains the orchards. Visitors can step back to 1852 and discover what life was like for the original owners of the ranch, William and Eliza Masterson and their family, and view a replica of their simple 12-foot-by-16-foot log cabin, a blacksmith shop, a freight farm wagon and replicas of a 1830s fur trapper’s cabin and a Native American plank house.
Dorris Ranch is also host to a variety of plants, flowers and birds. Come for a visit and enjoy a walk through this 250-acre historic site and natural area at your own pace on one of the park’s self-guided tours. Brochures with all the interesting facts, historical sites and a map of area paths are available at the entrance kiosk.
Dorris Ranch, 205 Dorris St., is open to the public weekdays and weekends from 6 a.m. till dusk. To get there from downtown Springfield, travel south on South 2nd St. The ranch is at the bottom of the hill.

Western Oregon’s Covered Bridges
Chitwood
On the following four pages you will find: • A map with 51 locations. • Instructions on how to drive to each covered bridge. • Four short loop tours. • The basic concept of bridge engineering.
Crawfordsville Krewson
Facts:
Bridges have been major part of Oregon’s growth from 1850 through the 1900s. Crossing rivers and creeks were a major problem for people and commerce. Ferries were not dependable due to the rise and fall and swiftness of these rivers and creeks. The sooner a bridge could be built, the more consistent the flow of trade. At first, bridges were not covered and the wet environment of the forest caused Joel Whittmore the planks to rot. Covering added years of life. At one time there were approximately 600 covered bridges in Oregon. Due to being replaced by modern steel and concrete, and abandonment or neglect, that number has dwindled to the present 51. For many locals, that raised an alarm. This has resulted in countless volunteer hours and huge dollars to repair, and sometimes move to a more desirable location, those remaining bridges that had fallen into disrepair. If someone claims to have been to ‘every’ covered bridge in Oregon (and its not in this guide) they need to send proof, pictures and location, and we’ll gladly publish it here, upon confirmation. Photo at right - Along your journey you may even find a few uncared for bridges, like the Dahlenburg foot bridge that was built over Ames Creek in 1989. No matter what, the search for covered bridges is fascinating. Every bridge has its own Dahlenburg unique scenery and its own story to tell.

WESTERN OREGON’S COVERED BRIDGES Structure is Everything To make the most out of your covered bridge trek, notice the groupings and plan your day accordingly. Be sure to look for the truss type that supports the bridge you are visiting. There are a few reasons why the Howe truss was most commonly used; primarily it was its simple design strength over long distances coupled with its vertical steel tie-rods that allowed maintenance crews to adjust as needed.
Drift Creek

Oldest is Drift Creek orig. 1914 // the longest is Office at 180’ // the shortest is Lost Creek at 39’ Kingpost Style Construction Queenpost Style Construction #19 #2, #21, #22, #23

#36
Cascadia (105’ span) - Sweet Home Cascadia was covered but is now uncovered, its uniqueness is the upside-down Howe.
Each bridge has their own unique history. To get the most out of a covered bridge outing it is suggested by our staff that visitors stop in at the local library, museum and/or chamber of commerce. And, while you are in the town, be sure to check out the downtown business district for food and shopping.

by Kendra Goldberg In Fall 2013, the Rays Grocery store in Pleasant Hill closed, sending the Pleasant Hill market and economic hub into decline.
Pisgah Public Market 35859 Highway 58 Pleasant Hill, OR 97455

Despite the property’s bleak outlook, a local couple, Scott and Kellie Chambers saw nothing but potential. Through their community-focused vision, they were able to bring in another grocery store. The Dari Mart company opened their flagship Dari Market, a new anchor business in the renamed Pisgah Public Market. Not content to stop there, Kellie Chambers brought her talents as a NIA instructor to Pisgah Public Market. The market welcomed Just Move Fitness in May 2015. The studio specializes in dance and fitness classes. That business grew quickly and expanded into a full gym with a complete suite of fitness equipment and resources including personal training, and private Pilates instruction. With the addition of• Urgent Care, • private masseuse, • acupuncture, and an • Italian restaurant - the transformation of the economic heart of Pleasant Hill was complete. Pisgah Public Market also includes a Pro-Realty office, Hope Renewed, Sunrise Cafe, Espresso 58, and Kinman Studios. Don’t miss the exciting changes happening in Pleasant Hill!

A word from Westfir Mayor Matt Meske
“If you are an outdoors person or someone who would like to live in a quiet community, Westfir is the place for you. We have several local swimming holes, hiking trails, popular biking trails, birding nature area, horse-
back riding trails, and a not-to-distant OHV park. And the amazing Aufderheide Scenic Highway begins here. With Westfir Lodge we have beds and meals, for RV overnighters we have Casey’s Riverside RV Park, and of
course, Oakridge is just a few minutes away for everything else. We have a terrific community, a healthy climate, and much more. In short, this is a great place to live.” •

Sixty Miles of Pure Nature The Aufderheide Scenic Drive By Gini Bramlett
Impassable during winter snow season
Cougar Reservoir
Where can one truly escape
from the ever-increasing traffic, the incessant noise and the ever-present evidence of our technological world? My choice is the peaceful tranquility of the Aufderheide (pronounced Owf-der-high-duh) Scenic Drive, part of the Western Oregon Scenic Byway in the Willamette National Forest. This pleasant afternnoon drive is unique in that it equates a step back in time before power lines, cell phone towers, and billboards marred our natural world. There are no restaurants, motels or gas stations, and very little traffic. But, do watch out for bicyclists, this byway
78
is for them too. Our first stop was Cougar Reservoir offering boating, fishing and other water recreation. With repairs forcing the lowering of the water level, and low rainfall coupled with unseasonably warm temperatures this past spring, expect to see record low water levels. But, as you can see in the above picture, the view is still a sight to behold. Most of the drive follows various forks of both the McKenzie and the Willamette rivers where dozens of campgrounds - all primitive - are available on a firstcome first-serve basis.
For hikers, there are trailheads galore, and numerous inviting swimming holes offering quick dips to cool off.
Native Columbine
If you’re game, take the four-mile hike for a relaxing soak at one of the five Terwilliger Hot Springs located a short distance beyond the reservoir. Cost is $5 per person and clothing is optional.
For RVers there is nearby Casey’s Riverside RV Park-Casey’s is one of the top rated RV parks in Oregon.
Along the roadway, the first half of the drive offers a plethora of photo opportunities of native plants, such as lupine, diminutive tiger lillies, columbine and at least five types of ferns. With all the maples lining the road, a fall visit will yield lush colors.

North Fork Willamette River This 60-mile jaunt begins just past the town of Blue River on Hwy 126. I recommend that you make a quick stop at the McKenzie Ranger station in Blue River and pick up an audio tape guide. (Note: the ranger station is closed weekends). Allocate about three hours to complete the drive allowing for photo stops, scenic views, and maybe a picnic along the river bank.

The byway ends at the Office Bridge in the quiet town of Westfir. Here there is a general store to purchase snacks and groceries and there is Westfir Lodge which offers rooms, drinks, and lunches. Travel through the Office Bridge and you will find a picnic area with restroom facilities.

Oregon Ghost Towns An Overview
Conley house at Flora
General store at Golden The last building of Bethel
by Steve Arndt
Did you know that Oregon has more ghost towns than any other state? According to Rick Hamell, our state’s ghost town guru, we have in excess of 250. Another report says we have over 500, if you count places where nothing remains today. Any community that has experienced a ‘significant loss of population’ may be considered a ghost town. Old mining towns, farming communities, and timberrelated settlements are ghost towns today. Some of my favorite ghost towns in the state are Ajax, Buncom, Chico, Promise, and Susanville – places many have never heard of. Let’s see how much you know about Oregon’s ghost towns. 1 – Which ghost town, less than three miles off of Interstate-5, was the setting for the old TV Western ‘Gunsmoke?’ Ans: Three miles east of the community of Wolf Creek was the once flourishing gold mining area called Golden. Today a state park, several buildings still stand, all vacant, in this former town that did not have a saloon. Hydraulic mining pulled a lot of gold from Coyote Creek, but ruined the land for generations to come. The cemetery, next to the church, is a TV prop, left over from the days when Gunsmoke was filmed here. Ghost Towns

2 – What Oregon ghost town has the most vacant buildings? Ans: In the northeast corner of the state near the border with Washington, 43 miles north of Joseph, is the ghost town of Flora. Only two full time resident families call Flora home today. It is hard to envision a population that could sustain the 100-year-old school house that has been remodeled and sits in the very center of the community. Try to imagine this community with a bank, livery stable, post office, millinery, doctor, telephone office, flourmill, hotel, two stores, two churches, three shingle mills and three blacksmith shops. 3 – What ghost town in Polk County had its own college, that still stands, and has been under charter since 1855 but not held classes since 1861? Ans: East of Highway 99, at the corner of Bethel Rd. and Zena Rd., 15 miles north of Monmouth, are the remains of Bethel and Bethel College, founded in 1855. It had financial problems and eventually conjoined in 1865, with what is today, Western Oregon University. The main building stands today, but sadly in 2013, the old gymnasium burned. The post office, blacksmith shop, general store, and carpentry shop are all gone, and only a few farmhouses stand as a reminder of Bethel.

All-Season Hours: Tue-Sat 10am-6pm
The Emerald Valley Armory was founded by Raye Gunter in late 2011. Raye has over 15 years of armory management experience and almost 8 years of active service. His vision with Emerald Valley Armory is to build a solid line of services and products based on his experience. “I sell, buy and trade legal guns. And, if you are selling a firearm between two private parties, I am happy to do the transfer for you.”
Emerald Offers A Variety Of Classes “Safety is developed in training.”
• Basic Handgun Safety and Personal Protection Oregon/Utah CHL Handgun safety and responsibilities concluding with Oregon/Utah Concealed Handgun License. • Carry Skills Class Advanced defensive handgun use and safety • Urban Defensive Carbine Class Use of the carbine in short to medium range environments All classes are complete with active shooting instruction.
A Message From Raye
“Why have a gun? Is the most common question that non-owners ask me,” said Raye Gunter, owner and gunsmith, of the Emerald Valley Armory of Creswell. “People own and enjoy guns for many reasons: 1- Recreational shooting, competition, or collecting; 2- Hunting game such as deer, elk, antelope, waterfowl, upland game birds, varmint, or predator control; 3- They are concerned about self-defense in a world that preys upon the defenseless. And while we’re on that subject, its been proven time and again, that the crazy shooters pick on people that won’t shoot back, they will run if one of their potential victims points a gun at them.

Sadly, our society is being fed the notion that taking away all guns will eliminate all shooters, BUT, what history teaches us, when countries take away gun rights from their citizenry, is that criminals have a heyday robbing, murdering and doing terrible things. Our U.S. Constitution is not out-dated as some of our politicians are telling us. Our U.S. Constitution was wise in allowing us to defend ourselves against both internal and external criminal elements. Simply look around, read history and think about the direction this world is going-and give me a call to tell me where I am wrong.”

Quick History, Past From its headwaters at Diamond Lake
in the Cascade Mountain Range, 100 miles east of Roseburg, the Umpqua River snakes its way 111 miles past Roseburg to where it empties into the Pacific Ocean at Winchester Bay. Simply put, the Scenic Umpqua River Valley stretches from Roseburg where the North Umpqua and South Umpqua meet (six miles northwest of Roseburg), to its mouth at Winchester Bay. The river and its valleys are famous for many things, including world class fishing, scenic trails, logging and, more recently, wine. In the early 1800’s the Umpqua River valley was inhabited mostly by the Coquilles, a tribe of Native Americans. The tribe gave most of its land to the United States in the 1854 Treaty with the Umpqua
94
and Kalapuya, agreeing to move to a reservation in Lincoln County and become part of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz. The river itself is named for the Umpqua, one of the Coquille bands. Two translations of the Native American word “umpqua” are “thundering waters” and “across the waters”. Since the early pioneer days, the river and surrounding areas helped produce and move the greatest wealth in Southern Oregon-timber and gold. Sailing vessels and steam schooners would arrive at Winchester Bay and their hard-to-get merchandise would be loaded onto river boats that would carry the goods to Scottsburg, where the deep tidewater ends and the rapids begin. There, the goods would be re-loaded onto mule trains and head for the interior valley and Roseburg.
On the turn-around trip the mule trains would be loaded with timber and gold from the valley and sent back to be re-loaded at Scottsburg for the final leg to Winchester Bay. This all worked fine until devestating floods of the 1860s wiped out most of Scottsburg, sinking it into obscurity. Also, at the same time, advancements of the north/south railroad lines in the valley, made shipping more predictable. Today, the Umpqua River is famous for some of the world’s best fly-fishing, salmon fishing, and sturgeon fishing. It is also known for its small-mouth bass, striped bass, and shad population. The river and its heavy summer steelhead run was made famous when writer and sports angler Major Lawrence Mott, also known as the “millionaire reporter”, set up a fishing camp in the area in 1929.

Rumor has it; In the early 1800s the local Indians did a controlled underbrush burn in the area. The burn did not go as planned and, as a result, may trees were burnt therefore creating much ‘dead wood’.
Deadwood Country Market & Tavern
This is a ‘must-stop’ on Hwy 36, just 17 minutes upriver from Mapleton.

In the rush to get to the coast, travellers risk missing some of the finest scenery, and people, Oregon’s Coast Range Mountains have to offer. The Loop runs from Veneta to Mapleton to Franklin and back to Veneta. The above proprietors care about their communities and their customers. Being helpful to fellow humans comes natural when you live in the country. Of course there are many towns along the Loop that need recognition-Mapleton, Brickerville, Tide, Swisshome, Deadwood, Greenleaf, Blachly, Horton, Triangle Lake, Low Pass, Franklin, Walton, Elmira, Veneta, Noti and Vaughn. All of these towns were important to the development of this area. In the 1800s there were wagon routes (much
of which you are driving on) that connected them to the coast and the Willamette Valley. Along the ‘Loop’ there are four covered bridges (one is a little south of Veneta), remnants of lumber mills, two wigwams (one is a little west of Mapleton), derelict logging equipment, numerous photo opportunities, occassional old barns that speak of a hopeful past, hiking, camping, swimming, picnicing, boating, top-quality restuarants, pubs, convenience stores, fueling stations, boat accesses and even a nice dry place to wash your dog. Remember, Slow down, Stop in, and See what Oregon’s townsfolk are like.

The Umpqua River, which runs along the north side of Reedsport and whose mouth is at Winchester Bay, and whose tidewaters reach nearly 20 miles inland to the town of Scottsburg, was a major shipping route in the mid 1800s. This river provided movement of cargo to the upper Willamette Valleyessential tools & supplies went upriver and gold & lumber went downriver. The Umpqua shipping went to Coos Bay when the 1st Umpqua lighthouse Mud Int osh (that was build on a sand spit near the river) collapsed in 1863. SeeMcLighthouse section. S EVERGRE EN LP.

Umpqua Discovery Center Natural & Cultural History Exhibits
‘Where There’s Always Something New to Discover’
Bear Cave Slide
35’ Periscope
by Diane Novak, director Come inside the Umpqua Discovery Center on Reedsport’s riverfront and you’ll enter an exciting new world. You will be taken on a journey through time in the Tidewaters and Time cultural history exhibit and gift shop. The adventure begins with the Kuuich Indians and early explorers, such as Jedediah Smith. Listen as the early pioneers tell stories about life in a tidewater town and watch videos of how logging was done in the past. Walk through the fish cannery and tidewater town. The combination of genuine historical artifacts and high tech sound and light will heighten your appreciation of the experience. In the natural history exhibit, Pathways to Discovery, visitors are taken along on a simulated outdoor adventure. First, there’s the estuary at sunrise in the fall. This is followed by the deep forest in winter at midday, where you can slide into the bear cave and learn about hibernating bears. Next you enter the weather station, listen to storm stories from the past, and learn a wealth of information from the OMSI exhibits on rain, wind, and atmosphere. Your journey will continue to a high mountain meadow on a spring afternoon, and then to a summer sunset in the dunes. The end of the trail is the Subterranean Education Room where you’ll view videos on skeletons, weather, seashore & animal homes.
Open Daily (admission charged): June 1-Sept 30: Mon-Sat, 10-5pm; Sun 12-4pm Oct 1-May 31: Mon-Sat, 10-4pm; Sun 12-4pm Located at 409 Riverfront Way, Reedsport. For info call 541-271-4816 or go to www.umpquadiscoverycenter.com

Egyptian Theatre Offers Historic Spin on Entertainment By Vera Westbrook & Steve Rowland
After years of restoration, the
Egyptian Theatre in Coos Bay is now open to the public. A first-run movie theatre in the past, the Egyptian today is owned by the City of Coos Bay and operated by the Egyptian Theatre Preservation Association. With the help of executive director/theatre manager Kara Long, volunteers run the theatre, selling popcorn and tickets for movies more than 5 years old, live performances, and both public and private events. “We’re a mixed bag of family films, classics, event films, music on the stage and comedy shows,” Long says, with movies like ‘The Princess Bride’ that saw 500 people in three days. “At this point we’ve seen about 20,000 people before the first year of operations. Beer and movie nights are also extremely popular, with the help
118
of local breweries, as are fundraisers like the Clam Bake Jazz Festival.” The theatre is also for rent for events like weddings, award ceremonies, and parties for holidays or birthdays. Its 1925 Egyptian décor includes four original painted stage backdrops with a functional Wurlitzer pipe organ from the 1920s. When in downtown Coos Bay, visit the theatre’s ornate interior on 229 S. Broadway St. For photos and events, see the website at www.egyptiantheatreoregon.com and the Facebook page at Egyptian Theatre Coos Bay. Since its reopening in June of 2014, the
excitement from both locals and visitors has been phenomenal. Films vary from the formerly popular, The Raiders Of The Lost Ark (1981), My Neighbor Tortoro (1988), the musical 1776, live concerts, and other delightful performances and showings. Now, imagine yourself sitting in a place that makes those films ‘come alive!” It’s a million dollar ambience. Give the Egyptian Theatre a visit, you’ll have the 5-star experience that others theatre goers are talking about.
Tall Ships Coming In Early June
Cape Arago Lighthouse Lens Now At CHM!
By Steven Greif and Jon Littlefield
The Coos History Museum in Coos Bay opened in the summer of 2015 and continues to add to its stellar exhibits about life on Oregon’s South Coast. Recently a wonderful lighthouse lens was added to the collection. The Cape Arago Lighthouse at the mouth of Coos Bay, one of the earliest on the Oregon Coast, began service in 1866. A replace-
ment lighthouse was built in 1909. In 1993, GPS replaced the need for the light at Cape Arago and its lens was then moved to storage at a local Coast Guard station. The lens was manufactured in Paris using the lens designs of Augustin Fresnel (1788-1827) a French physicist who revolutionized aids to navigation by supporting the theory that light moves in waves, not particles, so it can be bent and focused using glass prisms. Working with physicist François Arago, they developed compound lenses that refracted light to form beams. A Fresnel lens wraps around the lamp to concentrate light rays into a super-powerful beam so that sailors can see the beam up to 20 miles away. Fresnel figured out that the lamp and lens could be rotated, so that as the beam of light swept across the sea, the light seemed to flash. Adding different sequences of flashes and colored panels of glass helped sailors know which lighthouse they were looking at and where they were. When you study the Cape Arago lens,
which is lit with a modern low wattage LED bulb, you will notice that it has three “bull’s eye” lenses in the center of three of its quadrants, but the fourth quadrant of the lens is covered by a brass shield, or shovel. When the lens revolved every 20 seconds in a clockwise direction, it produced three separate white flashes followed by 12 seconds of darkness — Cape Arago’s “signature.” The Coos History Museum at 1210 North Front Street, Coos Bay, is open from 10-6 daily except Mondays. Admission is $7 for adults and $3 for children under 18. AAA, AARP, and family discounts are available. For more info phone 541-756-6320.

Life-Saving Light The Fresnel lens was invented by Augustin-Jean Fresnel and installed in the 223’ French Cordouan lighthouse in 1853. This more efficient lens (than a planoconvex lens) takes light from a small source and refracts the light waves into a concentrated beam.

OREGON COAST LIGHTHOUSES
PhotosByShaun.com Featured Lighthouse: The Coquille River Lighthouse was lit in 1896. For the people of Bandon, it offerred the hope of greater commerce. There were few roads on the Oregon Coast at that time. This lighthouse was decommissioned in 1939 when the Coast Guard placed an automated beacon near the end of the south jetty.
T
he development of lighthouses on the west coast in the 1800s was a must for commerce and U.S. westward expansion, especially when the infrastructure of highways and airports was non-existent. The rush to build lighthouses was as important as the push of railroads (east and west; and north and south). Still useful today, lighthouses reassure mariners that they are on the right course. From their inception, lighthouses were expensive to operate and, being a keeper of the lighthouse could be lonely and dangerous-think
of living on Terrible Tilly (Tillamook Rock) with rough seas smashing over the top of the lighthouse. By the 1930s technology had improved to allow additional options for maritime safety. Oregon’s Lightships: various Columbia lightships, a ‘lighthouse’ on a ship, marked the entrance of the Columbia River from 1892-1979. The last one is docked in Astoria, tours are available. U.S. Facts: The tallest U.S. lighthouse is Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, N.C., 200’ tall. The only ‘keeper’ in the U.S. still ‘keeping a lighthouse’
(by order of U.S. Congress) is in the Boston Lighthouse. It is the oldest station in the U.S. The U.S. state with the most lighthouses is Michigan, with 124. Earliest U.S. lighthouses built were in Maine, 1791 and in Virginia, 1792. World facts: The first recorded lighthouse was built by Egypt in 285 B.C., and was destroyed by earthquake in 1302. The oldest existing lighthouse in the world is the 180’ Tower of Hercules, near Corunna, Spain, built between 100-200 A.D. •

RVing Articles On the next page you’ll find an article about pet care and RVing. If you have a subject you would like to share/discuss here, please let Karen Wells know. Here’s some ideas . . . √ Pet wellness - Check with the vet * Make an effort to be friendly while RVing * Respect campsite boundaries respect everyone’s space & don’t walk thru their space * Mind your garbage - don’t burn it, bag it and put in approved receptacles * Double check your hookups (tanks & hoses) - make sure you have no leaks or bad smells * Use quiet hours; watch the noise level of the kid’s play, the outdoor TV and the generator * Road Courtesy - there’s you, and then there’s the other driver

Adventures With Foxy Lady by Gene Terrell of Junction City, Oregon
Approximately 16 months ago following retirement,
our plans were to travel. So, my wife Cindy and I, sold our home and many possessions, called the movers and set off for Junction City, Oregon for our new travel base. We found our 5th wheel too big for some of our destinations so we decided to purchase ‘Foxy Lady’, an Arctic Fox camper, for the shorter trips around Oregon.
Lighthouse, enjoying the heavy surf, and a bit of fog, that day. That evening we drove to Three Rivers Casino for dinner and a show with . . .
The Rat Pack, which was very enjoyable. About this same time I met my friend Steve who turned me on to crabbing and surf fishing. Our first outings were only day trips but proved to be something I truly enjoyed. So we loaded up Foxy Lady for an overnighter and set out for Honeyman State Park in Florence, Or., which offers close access to fishing and crabbing as well as an entrance onto the dunes for OHV riding. 2013 MVP ENTERTAINMENT SERVICES, Inc.
The next morning, during our tour of Florence, we found a wonderful restaurant called The Brown Hen Cafe, at 435 Hwy 101. We had excellent food and atmosphere and we would highly recommend it.
. During our stay, we took a side trip to Heceta Head
. In the short time we have lived here, we have fallen in love with Oregon and look forward to our next adventure with Foxy Lady. Oh, the fishing & crabbing? We were just scouting.
