Long Tom Grange Daffodil Festival Junction City

Sto

One of many reasons to attend

the Long Tom Grange’s Daffodil Festival, March 19-20, 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 Pheiffer, 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. The 70-year-old festival began

Pho

tos b y Ja

t mlet a r B i

mie

y Gi ry b

March 19-20

with The Ladies of the Long Tom Home Extension planting bulbs along the highway. The next year, they served coffee to drivers passing by. Soon the cinnamon

rolls were added, and the rest is history. Over the years the festival has

Hoo

per

Photos Rowland Story by by Kathy Gini Bramlett

Get Inspiration From From What Will Find Get Inspiration WhatYou You Will Find “This is what I’ve always wanted to do,” said Kathy. “I love finding old worn pieces and making them come alive.” A few years ago, Laura and her husband Mike’s home was featured in Country Sampler Magazine. Her tasteful furniture choices, design elements and refurbished pieces were a sure pick for the magazine. Laura’s creative talent and inspirational ideas can be accessed by anyone who visits the store on Thursdays when the ladies are there. “I can help customers with their design questions,” said Laura, who lives in Junction City and has raised her two children there. Kathy, who has raised her two sons in Junction City as well, loves seeing old friends and familiar faces come into the store, and enjoys seeing them find those perfect pieces.

One of the best kept secrets in

Junction City is the “Courtyard on Sixth,” an eclectic mix of gifts, collectibles, vintage, primitives, locally-crafted, handmade and everything in between located on two floors of an old refurbished building in the heart of downtown. One of the fastest growing businesses at the Courtyard is “Salvage Sisters,” owned by sisters-inlaw Laura Spoerl and Kathy Rowland, who have a lifelong love of all things country and antique. Retired from the work-a-day world, the women have taken their mutual interest one step further, and opened their own business offering antiques and collectibles, and refurbish old pieces of furniture making them “new” again. The business, located to your immediate right as you step in the front door, has grown by leaps and bounds, and the little sideline has had to expand twice since its beginning two years ago.

Visit the Courtyard on Sixth Street in Junction City where there’s always something new. The store is located just across the street from Pacific Continental Bank. Hours are 10am-6pm Monday-Saturday.

A Roofing and Business Legacy The Legacy Behind Legacy Metalworks

By Vera Westbrook

Gerald Birky, owner of Legacy Metalworks of Halsey, Oregon, put the word “legacy” in his metal roofing manufacturing company’s name for two reasons. “A legacy is anything that is passed down from one generation to another, or it’s a product that, like an heirloom, lasts from one generation to another,” Gerald explains. “I’m selling a product that’s a 40-year product—a 40 to 50-year roof. If you put a metal roof on your house, you are probably doing it for your grandchildren 40 to 50 years from now. There’s the legacy. “The greater portion of the “legacy” in Legacy Metalworks is the fact that my father was in this business for quite a few years in Montana, where he had a very successful metal roofing business.” Today Birky does as his father did: roll forming, making up and manufacturing metal roofing products. Beginning in 2014, Legacy Metalworks may be new to the area, but the Birky family is not. Gerald and his father were both born in Linn County, with Gerald growing up in Harrisburg. Gerald’s grandfather was very involved in agricultural construction, with Linn County farmers calling on the Birkys for their building projects since the 1950s. Gerald’s grandmother still lives in Halsey today. “I manufacture metal roofing and siding, that’s all I do. I make the package for the contractor or the

homeowner,” Gerald says. A roofer or a homeowner who wants to do it himself will call Legacy Metalworks with the dimensions of a building, and Gerald will provide them with how many sheets of metal they’ll need, along with ridge caps, screws and trim. He’ll then tell them within how many days the package will be ready and supply them with all the materials for the project. He also works with other metal roofing manufacturers around the state to fill specialty metal orders like antique-style roofs. Gerald will gather all the supplies and promptly deliver the package to a job site with his self unloading delivery truck. With his father’s expertise, Gerald’s company today is stocked with state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment that’s operated by skilled personnel to ensure uniformity and consistency in all products. Legacy Metalworks also carries coil stock inventory that’s ready to be roll-formed into three profiles, including both exposed fastener and concealed fastener systems. The company also stocks thousands of screws, trims, flashings, underlayment and other roofing accessories. Visit the Legacy Metalworks website at www.Legacy Metalworks.com for more information or call 541-632-4260. The Legacy staff will be happy to answer all your metal roofing questions.

Prairie Mountain Wineries Meet The Winemakers!

Steve & Carol Girard

“Benton-Lane Winery’s unique location has allowed us to produce sexy, silky Pinot Noir for two decades. Having come from Napa Valley, we recognized this mild southern Willamette location allowed it to produce more graceful, elegant wines from the Pinot family: Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Chardonnay. Unwilling to entrust these wines to a single palate, our wines at Benton-Lane are created by a dedicated team, with each member tasked with developing the full potential of every nuance in the grape. As a result, Benton-Lane wines have been awarded four Top 100 Wines of The World.”

Robin & Danuta Pfeiffer

“When the French tried to buy our chicken ranch and sheep pasture to grow wine grapes, our family knew there was something special about our 70-acres of south facing slopes. Navigating by the North Star for our north-south rows, in the early 80’s we planted one of the first vineyards in Lane County. Our wines are not sold in stores, but are enjoyed by wine club members and tasting room visitors year-round.”

Jim & Wendy McGavin

“After years of working in information technology, we decided it was time to get back to basics. Initially, our plan was to grow and sell grapes but the business of wine is as seductive as the Walnut Ridge pinots we produce! In 2010, Walnut Ridge became partners in long term grape customer, Sass winery and in 2015 opened the Walnut Ridge tasting room where we feature our Sass label wines. Our passion is to share the results of our efforts, the wine, the food and the terroir!”

Chris & (Sheree) Shown

Gene & Lisa Bennett

“Grape growing is not about romance.It’s about getting your hands dirty; it’s about pruning in a gentle snowfall, hand tying vines to a trellis and planting a nourishing cover crop to replenish the land after harvest.It’s a family affair at Brigadoon: Chris is the vineyard manager, wife Sheree, an excellent cook ,is often deferred to for tastings and blends, son Matt is the winemaker, and son Nick tends to the vineyard seasonally. We love what we do-and it shows in our wine!” “Following a long and exciting career in the construction industry, we began our new careers in beautiful Cheshire, Oregon. What we lacked in vineyard and winemaking experience we have more than made up for with enthusiasm, research, advice from our wine expert neighbors and a lot of hard work. Our 20-acre vineyard of pinot noir makes all the effort worthwhile!”

Dieter & Fridah “Dieter was inspired by the landscape of the Elbe River Vineyards and the Boehm romance of the wine villages which he experienced while he attended University HIGH in Dresden, Germany. His dream came true when he landed in the foothills of PASS the Willamette Valley and created High Pass Vineyards in 1985. We produce WINERY estate Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, and select harvest/ice wine. Our tasting room offers a very intimate wine tasting environment (AprilDecember). From the beginning, we refused to get big!” - Fridah Boehm www.OregonCommunityConnection.com

355 West 3rd Ave., Junction City Could You Get Pneumonia? By Dr. Desmond Crooks

Could you get pneumonia? About a half million Americans are affected every year, 40,000 of those fatally. Sobering, isn’t it. Pneumonia is the 6th most common cause of death and is frequently caused by a bacteria named Streptococcus Pneumoniae, also known as Pneumococcus. While this bacteria is also able to cause infections in the ear and sinuses, it has more sinister capabilities, including infections of the brain lining (meningitis) and can also find its way into the bloodstream (bacteremia). Sir William Osler (1849-1919), referred to as the Father of Modern Medicine, called pneumonia “The Old Man’s Friend” because if pneumonia progressed untreated, its victims would become progressively less conscious, with a somewhat peaceful appearing end to their suffering.

Of note, Sir William Osler himself died of pneumonia, although it was likely a viral pneumonia he contracted during the Spanish influenza epidemic (some 30 million people died of influenza in one year – the most devastating epidemic in recorded history). As is frequently the case with respiratory infections, the very young and older adults are both at higher risk of contracting pneumonia. What can you do about it? While it is true that our immune systems are quite remarkable, there is ample evidence that proper vaccination can decrease your chances of getting a Pneumococcal illness. Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) protects against the 13 types of pneumococcal bacteria that are responsible for the most severe illnesses, and pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) protects against 23 types. The CDC recommends adults 65 and over get both vaccines (not at the same visit), with a better immune response if PCV13 is given first. Your personal recommendations may vary depending on your history and known medical problems. The PPSV23 vaccine may require a trip to the pharmacy, depending on where you live, but most medical clinics will have the PCV13, so you can likely start there. Finally, evidence exists showing

that getting influenza (the “Flu”) can increase your chances of also getting pneumococcal pneumonia, so there is value to having had your flu shot also.

People should be aware of the damage that trees can cause following rain, wind, ice, and snow storms. Those living near trees should avoid parking vehicles under trees. To avoid disaster, inspect trees before bad weather hits, because after the storm, tree service companies are booked too far in advance. A tree inspection now can prevent costly damage later to structures and vehicles. With a tree risk assessment from A-1 Ron’s Tree & Stump Removal, your tree’s health is checked to see if a branch has the potential to break. When tree experts Brian Jones and Devin DeMarce come out and work on a tree, they fully inspect that tree for future damage—a benefit other tree companies don’t provide. Brian says, “Unseen damage can also occur from squirrel chew, when a squirrel gets on top of a branch and eats all the bark so folks can’t see the damage from below. This weakens the branch over time. We also can tell if a tree will fall on a house, if a tree gets limb heavy on one side, or if it has the potential to fall over when soil gets wet. Call us to schedule a tree inspection today.” A-1 honors Military, Senior and Teacher Discounts through April

When the weather warms, the pests get active. Your home is made out of wood—ants like wood to make their nests, termites like wood to eat, and powder post beetles chew holes in wood. All of these pests will destroy the structural integrity, and therefore the value, of your home. They may already be munching away as you are reading this article. Fortunately, Randy Thom, owner of Castaway, is a local pest control technician who has been in the pest business since 1983. He will inspect your home and tell you if any of these destructive pests are at work. And, he will offer you solutions. Geoge E. & Marian E.

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.

If we find a virus, it’s $100. We haven’t changed our prices in years, because we feel we must meet the needs of the people without emptying their pocket books. Give us a call today.

East Linn Museum

A Glimpse of Linn County’s Colorful Past

Story by Museum Dir. Lana Holden

Photos by Steve Rowland

The East Linn Museum, in Sweet Home, Oregon

is steward to thousands of relics from the pioneer families who settled in the area during the mid 1800s. The museum was established in 1976 and is home to a large collection of antique guns, telephones, and cameras. It also includes dishes, musical instruments, and tools used by farmers, loggers, horse wranglers, carpenters, blacksmiths, and miners. The East Linn Museum is a fairly large facility with several rooms occupied with artifacts, documents, and photographs from the surrounding areas. Displays include pieces from the Quartzville mining area, Dr. Langmack’s hospital, household items, blacksmith’s shop, and the Dollar Railroad. The East Linn Museum will be celebrating it’s

40th Anniversary in 2016 with the following events: Family Scavenger Hunt, Cemetery Tours, Lost Arts & Crafts Fair, Hiking the Santiam Wagon Road, Local History Lectures, Dollar Railroad Tours, Christmas Carriage Rides, and a Quilt Show. The East Linn Museum is located at 746 Long Street in Sweet Home. It is open Thursday through Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with additional Thursday evening hours from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. For more information contact the museum at: eastlinnmuseum@yahoo.com • Call (541) 409-0997 • Follow us on Facebook

Carriage Me Back 1929 in Historic Brownsville, May 7-8

Story by Gini Bramlett Photos by Linn County Museum Friends

Travel back in time to the historic 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.

WESTERN OREGON’S COVERED BRIDGES CHITWOOD BRIDGE LOCATION: 18.1 Miles west of Newport off Hwy 20 Weight limit: 8 tons PURPOSE: The Chitwood Bridge connects the hiway and railroad of the north side of the Yaquina River with the former town of Chitwood, thus eliminated the need to ‘ford’ the river which was hazardous and virtually impossible at flood stage. Without a bridge, the community on the south side struggled. HISTORY: The first bridge over this span was built in 1893, it was uncovered and decayed quickly. In 1904 another was built uncovered and it also decayed. The present bridge was built, and covered, in 1926. This bridge was reconstructed in 1984. The 1926 bridge was named after pioneer Joshua Chitwood, the town’s first postmaster and store owner. Chitwood is now considered a ‘ghost town’. DESIGN: It’s flared sides, semielliptical portal arches and red barn color is typical of Lincoln County bridges. Info by Lincoln County PW www.OregonCommunityConnection.com

Oregon Community Connection Magazine Spring 2016 Edition

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

Office

Lost 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. www.OregonCommunityConnection.com

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,

horseback riding trails, and a not-todistant 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 for general items we have Westfir General Store. Of course Oakridge is just a few minutes away for everything else. In short, this is a great place to live.” •

Westfir Lodge, built in the early 1920s, was the original office of the Western Lumber Company, which sold out to Westfir Lumber Company and then in 1946 to the Hines Lumber Company. In 1977 Hines sold its lumber company and the entire town of Westfir to a private investor. The mill closed in 1984 due to fire. Built in 1944, the Office Covered Bridge was a conduit of logs and employees; and the mill office (now the Westfir Lodge) was the site of contracts and payroll-visit and let your imagination fly. The lodge has been newly remodeled (but kept its old ambience) and its food is excellent. Its rustic charm will take you back to the days when lumber was king. By the way, the rainbow trout are said to be 12-20â&#x20AC;? here.

Caseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Riverside RV Park is great for the

entire family (and their dogs). There is a swimming pool, shower, toilets and plenty of places for leisurely walks beside the beautiful Willamette River. If you want to spend time relaxing or if you want to be active. This park will make a home base. Space can fill up fast so I would recommend that you call now for open dates and make this your vacation place. Come to Westfir, where the people are friendly, and the opportunity for fun, or leisure, is at your fingertips.

Westfir & Oakridge Recreation

from Dead Mtn Echo

The Oakridge/Westfir area is rich in water recreation opportunities. From canoeing or paddle boarding on a scenic, high mountain lake to experiencing the thrill of the abundant whitewater opportunities, Oakridge is a paddling paradise. For the lake lovers there are many easily accessible lakes in the area including Oregon’s second largest and one of the purest in the world. Waldo Lake is a must for canoeists, touring kayakers and paddle boarders. Camping is available on the lake and there is a boat launch for non-motorized boats. Also, just outside of Oakridge lies Hills Creek Reservoir. Motorized boats are allowed here, but there are many coves that are great for paddling including Larison Cove Canoe area. Canoes and other watercraft can be rented from two locations in Oakridge. Upstream Adventures and Oregon Outdoor Sports offer daily and weekly rentals. The Middle Fork Ranger Station has maps available. Lakes are most enjoyable in summer and fall, after the mosquitos have eased. For the river runners there is a wide range of options. The Middle Fork of the Willamette runs right through town and offers year round class 2 whitewater. This is a popular run for rafts, inflatable kayaks, hard-shell kayaks and drift boats. For those without experience, take a guided trip down the river. Upstream Adventures offers half day and full day trips and provides everything you will need from gear to instruction. The fishing on the Middle Fork is outstanding as well and the best way to fish it is from a boat. There are many options for drift boaters along this stretch. For those looking for more of a thrill there is abundant class 3, 4 and even class 5 whitewater in the area. Many of these runs are good in spring and early summer. The North Fork of the Middle Fork of the Willamette (NFMF) offers rafters and kayakers a good range of accessible class 3 and 4 whitewater. Most of the run is easily scouted from the road and has easy access. Salmon and Hills Creek also offer classic class 4 runs set in stunning gorges. Hard-shell kayaks feel most at home here. The fishing in the area is also s p e c t a c u l a r . The North Fork of the Middle Fork of the Willamette Whether you are River that flows through Westfir has lots of swimming holes that are popular with the locals. fishing a mounPhoto by Viki Burns tain lake or the Middle Fork Willamette through town, you will find an abundance of trout. Most lakes are open to using live bait while most of our rivers are restricted to artificial flies and lures. The North Fork of the Middle Fork is fly fishing only and will reward the avid fly-fisher with lots of cutthroat and rainbow trout. Salmon creek is heavily stocked with trout and is open to using live bait. Anglers here often catch their limit of hatchery fish. The Middle Fork Willamette runs right through town and boasts some of the largest rainbow trout around. The river is restricted to artificial flies and lures and will reward anglers with a mix of native and hatchery fish. The river can be fished from the shore or a boat. Upstream Adventures offers a variety of fishing trips along the river and provides all gear necesary to fly-fish or spinner-fish. Burt’s Fish n’ Stuff is a great place to stock up on all your fishing gear and get some tips on wherever you are planning to fish, he has fished them all. Oakridge is truly a water recreation paradise. Five rivers and thousands of area lakes truly make this place an outdoor paradise. Young or old, fly-fisher, lure spinner or worm-fisher, everyone can find their perfect fishing hole here.

The author’s daughter Kenna is proud of her catch at Summit Photo by Jody Slocumb Lake.

Build A Track And The Racers Will Come May-Nov Oakridge

By Vera Westbrook

The fireworks committee in

Oakridge, Oregon, decided to address dwindling funds the old fashioned way-by earning it. In the summer of 2014, the committee began building a lawn mower racing track to raise funds. The Oakridge Old Mill Raceway was finished by May 2015. It soon became an affiliate of the U.S. Lawn Mower Racing Association and has held races ever since.

Little Free Libraries Books For Everyone! By Colette Kimball

Sitting in front yards, beside elementary schools, and tucked in community parks around Oregon and across the United States are thousands of libraries – Little Free Libraries to be exact. These libraries don’t require library cards, have late fees, or expect patrons to return their books. Instead, they are small lending libraries that operate on the “take a book, leave a book” principle. The goal of the Little Free Library movement is to use free neighborhood book exchanges to promote

literacy and the love of reading. They are the brainchild of Todd Bol, a Wisconsin man who built a model of a one-room school house in tribute to his mother – a former school teacher who loved to read. Mr. Bol filled the school house with books and placed it on a pole in his front yard. The little library was so popular that he began building them for friends and family. That was in 2009, now – just seven years later – there are over 36,000 registered Little Free Libraries around the world and over 300 in the state of Oregon.

Each Little Free Library is unique because people are free to build them in any design they wish, and the quality and variety of books found within each library might be surprising. All 36,000 libraries are included on a map at LittleFreeLibrary.org which also makes the libraries great for travelers.

Oakridge offers free summer concert series The concerts embrace a festival atmosphere with food and craft vendors, and a beer garden. The group is still working on booking bands for this summer, but four dates are scheduled and the group promises each will have its own style and flavor, starting with country music on June 25. July 9 will bring the third annual Blues, Brews, and Cruise Festival, which includes a car show. The band The Blue Valentines will play, along with a second band still to be determined. Details and car entry information will be updated soon on the website at www.OakridgeConcerts.com, as well as on Facebook. August 6 and 7 brings you the Just Us Festival. Back in the 1980s a rock band from Oakridge actually made it to the radio, and now they come back for a reunion each year. More 80s and classic rock bands are added to round out the two-day festival. The season concludes with the Mardi Gras in Oakridge on August 27. Kelly Thibodeaux and his E’Touffee band will play, along with another band still to be determined. So bring your own chair or blanket and head up to Oakridge. Relax on the lawn, or kick off your shoes and dance to the music. Bring a picnic or support one of the vendors, but please leave alcohol at home. Alcohol is not allowed in the park, except inside the beer garden. Banner Bank Amphitheater was built in Greenwaters Park in 2001 with donated time and resources. It sits on the banks of the Willamette River and faces Hwy. 58, which runs through town and is a main artery between the Willamette Valley and central Oregon. A local motel owner, Vivian Erickson, was instrumental in bringing a series of free outdoor concerts to the amphitheater, and it quickly became a popular family-friendly event that the entire community looked forward to each summer. However, the summer concert series didn’t get well advertised outside of the Oakridge/Westfir community, and the attendance failed to grow from year to year. Upon Vivian’s death in 2011, a handful of local citizens quickly got involved to make sure the music

continued through the summer of that year. The 2012 summer season was a fresh start for Oakridge Concerts in the Park. A new committee was formed and obtained 501(c)3 nonprofit status under the umbrella Community Festivals Association. The new group was successful in scheduling seven weekends of music between June 16 and September 15 that year. With improved advertising the project has steadily grown in both attendance and quality from year to year. You can find updated information by searching Facebook, or visit www.OakridgeConcerts.com. Look for more information in the summer issue.

A Message From Raye

Sadly, our society is being fed the notion that “Why have a gun? Is the most common question that non-owners ask me,” said Raye Gunter, owner taking away all guns will eliminate all shooters, BUT, and gunsmith, of the Emerald Valley Armory of Crewhat history teaches us, when countries take away swell. “People own and enjoy guns for many reasons: gun rights from their citizenry, is that criminals have a 1- Recreational shooting, competition, or collecting; heyday robbing, murdering and doing terrible things. 2- Hunting game such as deer, elk, antelope, waterOur U.S. Constitution is not out-dated as some fowl, upland game birds, varmint, or predator control; of our politicians are telling us. Our U.S. Constitution 3- They are concerned about self-defense in a world was wise in allowing us to defend ourselves against that preys upon the defenseless. both internal and external criminal elements. Simply And while we’re on that subject, its been look around, read history and think about the direcproven time and again, that the crazy shooters pick on tion this world is going-and give me a call to tell me people that won’t shoot back, they will run if one of where I am wrong.” their potential victims points a gun at them.

Open enrollment is coming. Let me help you choose the best Medicare plan. Open Enrollment is coming up. Let me help you choose the Medicare plan that best fits your needs. It is time for you to start looking into Medicare plans that will be available in 2016. Not making an informed decision could cost you a lot of money and – maybe – your ability to obtain a Medicare supplement in the future. There are a few things that you must look at to make sure you have the right coverage you will need next year. The first decision you will need to make is how is my current coverage changing? Are my copays, premiums, out-of-pocket maximums going up or down? Are my doctors still going to accept the plan I am on, or will I have to look for another doctor? Is my plan not going to cover certain things next year that it covered this year? The second and sometimes most important decision is how are

my prescription drugs going to be covered? When will I hit the doughnut hole, and how can I get help paying for all my expensive medications? Do I qualify for assistance to help pay for these costs? These are all questions that every client of ours has each year and you probably do too. It’s okay, we are here to help. We are a local insurance company that specializes in helping people understand how the changes in Medicare affects them. We are here to help you find the best plan to fit your needs and your budget. Call us and discover what so many other people in your area have found out about their coverage. You can be certain there won’t be any pressure placed on you to purchase a plan, we just want you to know what is available. It could save you a lot of money.

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

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.

To Present by Kirsten Albright In 1931, the Umpqua received even more attention when one of the most famous western novelists of the time, Zane Grey, set up camp and began fishing the river.

The Umpqua River Valley’s most recent claim to fame is its wine industry. The first vineyard was planted by pioneer and pathfinder Jesse Applegate, in Yoncalla, in 1876. Today the Umpqua River Valley is home to 23 wineries, 22 of which are family owned and operated. Hotter and drier than the Willamette Valley wine region and cooler than the Rogue and Applegate wine regions, the Umpqua Valley provides several microclimates that allows it to produce over 40 varieties of wine. ‘It is interesting to note that the Umpqua Valley region is found on the 43N & 44N latitudes which also run through some of Europe’s finest wine growing districts.’-Wines NW

Whale Watching Spoken Here by Colette Kimball

Whale watching is a year round

activity on the Oregon coast. Each winter gray whales migrate south to warm-water lagoons in Mexico where expectant mothers give birth and raise their young calves. Then from March to June, the whales travel north again, back to their feeding grounds in Alaska. In all, it is a round trip of approximately 10,000 to 14,000 miles, much of it happening just off our coastline. (Gray whale in picture). “Whale watching takes a lot of patience,” says David Newton, Park Ranger with the Whale Watching Center in Depot Bay. Having a trained volunteer nearby can improve the chances of spotting one. Two weeks a year, once during winter migration and again in the spring, Oregon State Parks and Recreation sets up 24 “Whale Watching Spoken Here” sites. This program places trained volunteers

at good whale watching locations up and down the coast. Ranger Newton says the volunteers help visitors spot the whales and are also available to share information about whales and their migration patterns. He also notes that while whales can be spotted any time of the day, it is easier to see them if the ocean is calm, as the whales can get hidden behind ocean swells and white caps can make spouts hard to see. At the Whale Watching Center in Depot Bay, on the west side of Highway 101, visitors will find informational displays and great views out to the ocean. The center also has a live camera and shows passing whales on a television screen which is good for those people having a hard time finding the whales on their own.

March 19-26, 2016, is the next whale watching week. Volunteers will be at the Whale Watching Center in Depot Bay from 10am to 4pm each day, and the 24 Whale Watching Spoken Here sites located along the Oregon Coast from 10am to 1pm. Look for signs or visit www.whalespoken.org to find a specific location.

• Waldport was plotted in 1879. Its name is derived from the German word ‘wald’ (forest) which was combined with port. • It is located on the site of an ancient Indian (Alsi Tribe) burial ground. • The Waldport bridge was first built in 1935 but, due to weathering, was rebuilt in 1991.

Darlingtonia Natural Site

Story by Colette Kimball, Photos by Rick Obst

Just off Highway 101, near the north end of Florence, sits a bog full of plants which are so rare that

the State of Oregon maintains an 18-acre botanical park to protect them. The plants are the Darlingtonia californica, more commonly known as a “Cobra Lilly” or “Pitcher Plant.” plants from a boardwalk over the bog. at any time of the year, the best time to The Darlingtonia Natural Site visit may be in the late spring or early includes a quarter-mile-long loop trail While seeing the rare insect-eating plants growing in the wild is enjoyable summer when the plants are in bloom. that provides excellent views of the Life in a bog, where there are few nutrients in the soil, can be hard for a plant. The Darlingtonia has adapted by “eating” insects. The process is rather simple: insects are attracted into the plant’s “mouths” by sweet-smelling nectar. Once inside, the insects become confused and can’t find their way back out. Eventually, they slide to the base of the plant where they drown in a pool of fluid. As the insect bodies break down, they release nutrients which the plant absorbs. Theses carnivorous flora have been called, ‘eerily spectacular!’

Formerly known as the Darlingtonia Wayside, the Darlingtonia Natural Site is located just east of Highway 101, five miles north of Florence. It is conveniently close to the coast highway and makes for an easy stop.

Rhododendron Festival 109th Rhody Festival, May 20-22

By Gini Bramlett Photos By Florence Chamber of Commerce

The three-day Rhododendron Festival in Florence is the second oldest flower festival in Oregon, following the Portland Rose Festive by only a year. It is also the third oldest on the entire west coast. That’s reason enough to take in the sights and sounds of the famously popular coastal destination. The family-oriented event slated this year for Friday-Sunday, May 20-22 celebrates the stars of the festival: the spectacular display of rhododendrons that thrive along the Oregon coast. The beauty of hundreds of rhododendrons will be on display at the Florence Events Center throughout the weekend. While you’re there, enjoy the family-focused parade, street vendor fair, car show, 5K run and the carnival with rides, games and a few surprises. The festival officially begins with the Rhody

Showcase to crown “Queen Rhododendra and King of the Coast.” And, be sure to visit Florence’s quaint shops, numerous restaurants, and the many adventures found only in Florence. • Vendor fair in historic Old Town Sat-Sun, May 21-22 • Annual Show & Shine - Sat.

Adventure Awaits

By Colette Kimball Photo by Ron Arel, Coastal Images

Hawaiian Chieftain and Lady Washington

102

Ever dreamed of being a pirate, sailing away into the open sea with adventure lying just over the horizon? This maritime dream comes to life every year when two tall ships sail up the Pacific coast. The ships belong to the non-profit Grays Harbor Historical Seaport Authority, whose goal is “to preserve and promote our maritime history and traditions,” according to Communications Director Joe Follansbee. Educational programs for young students at each of the ports the ships visit is the primary aim. However, would-be-pirates of any age can have a few hours of adventure. A “tall ship” is a traditionally-rigged sailing vessel with topmasts and top sails, like the Lady Washington. The original Lady Washington voyaged to the Pacific Northwest in 1787. Today’s Lady Washington, launched in 1989 by the Historical Seaport, is a full-scale replica of that original ship. The Historical Seaport’s second ship, the Hawaiian Chieftain, is designed after early passenger and cargo vessels of the 18th and 19th centuries. Together, the Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain provide a range of adventures and educational programs. The most popular program, according to Follansbee, is the 3-hour battle sail, where the two ships battle it out with real cannons, real gun powder, and real booms – but no cannon balls. For people who like their experiences a little quieter, the adventure sail and evening sail might be better options. This year, the tall ships dock in Coos Bay from May 7 to 16 and Newport from May 19 to 31. For more information visit http://www. historialseaport.org. Colette Kimball is a writer based in Cottage Grove, Oregon. In her free time she blogs at www.MySouthLane.com.

Coos History Museum Is Open!

Story and Photos by Steve Greif, Board Member The Coos County Historical Society founded in 1891 moved to its new home at the Coos History Museum on the Coos Bay waterfront at 1210 N. Front St. last summer. The new museum was dedicated on Sept. 9, 2015, and is located at the site of one of the world’s busiest lumber exporting facilities from WWII to the late 1970s. More than 550 local families, businesses and organizations donated more than $7 million to the project. The museum’s lobby floor features a 10-by-13-foot scale map of Oregon’s south coast inlaid with wood, metal, glass and wire. In the main exhibit hall, three lanes of vibrant colors guide visitors, with blue for the Seashore Gallery, green for the Tidewater Gallery and brown for the Uplands Gallery. Guests will see displays like the 1900 Millicoma Family Boat that might be the oldest remaining handcrafted vessel in Coos County. A second level of exhibits highlights the agricultural history of the region. Patrons can find gifts at the Museum Store that features more than 400 items from regional artists, craftsmen and authors. Admission discounts for families, AAA, AARP and active-duty service members. Hours: 10am-6pm Daily, closed Monday Contact the museum at 541-756-6320 or, Go to www.cooshistory.org

Life-Saving Light The Fresnel lens was invented by Augustin-Jean Fresnel and installed in the 223â&#x20AC;&#x2122; French Cordouan lighthouse in 1853. This more eďŹ&#x192;cient lens (than a planoconvex lens) takes light from a small source and refracts the light waves into a concentrated beam.
