Daly Fund Recipients Return to Serve By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
Michaela Barry, a LHS and OSU graduate awardee of the Daly Fund, stands in back of a Cover Oregon sign, an effort she helped coordinate, at Lake County Public Health.
“We owe a lot to Dr. Daly” are the words spoken by third-grade teacher Deb Watts and surely unspoken by hundreds if not thousands of other recipients of the Bernard Daly Educational Fund. Watts, a graduate of Lakeview High School in 1973, through her well-maintained grades received the fund all the way through her four years of college education and has found her way back to her hometown to give back to the community that sent her through. Her story isn’t exclusively her own, but one of many variations. Quickly approaching the 95th anniversary of the Fund’s inception, having been established in 1922, it has been greatly influential in putting Lake County students through all four years of college. Bernard Daly, the namesake and originator of the Fund, couldn’t have worn any more hats in his time. He was a prominent doctor, businessman, banker, rancher, state representative, state senator, county judge, and regent of Oregon State University, which was at the time named Oregon State Agricultural College. In Dr. Daly’s will, he wrote, “It is my earnest desire to help, aid and assist worthy and ambitious young men and women of my beloved county of Lake, to acquire a good education, so that they may be better fitted and qualified to appreciate and help to preserve the laws and constitution of this free country, defend its flag, and by their conduct as good citizens reflect honor on Lake county and the state of Oregon.” In the Jan. 15, 1920 edition of the Lake County Examiner, published 11 days after Daly’s death, it reads, “Practically the entire estate, which consists of about a million dollars, with a few exceptions is to be turned into what is to be known as the ‘Bernard Daly Educational Fund,’ the income from which is to be used in education worthy Lake county boys and girls and in assisting them through college.” Just like Daly, benefactors of the fund often find it a duty and honor to return to the community that gave them the invaluable commodity of a quality education. The afore-
mentioned Watts shares in this sentiment. “I always felt honored to come back and work in the county that sent me to school,” she said. Watts calls the fund “a tremendous help” since she didn’t have to put her education on a standstill in order to pay her way as other student smight have had to do. “One of the great things that you don’t appreciate as a kid is that it is given to you that you don’t have to pay back and that is wonderful,” she said. Since Watts’ return, she has spent 30 years teaching at Union School’s elementary classes and is now teaching third grade at Fremont Elementary School. She recalls that the experience of going through college and returning to her town has been irreplaceable. “I’ve enjoyed coming back to teach,” adding that a major benefit is being familiar with the parents of her students, which wouldn’t happen if she were teaching in a bigger and unfamiliar city. Another recipient of the fund is also a graduate of Lakeview High School, Brian Bogardus. With the Fund’s assistance, he attended Oregon State University, the same college Dr. Daly was a regent. After obtaining his undergraduate degree Bogardus went to Oregon Health and Science University in Portland where other County funds helped like the CollinsMcDonald and the Forrest Cooper funds through dental school. Bogardus decided to move back to Lake County and became employed by Warner Creek Correctional Facility as its resident dentist. He has contributed in other charitable organizations in the county as a member of the RECIPIENTS Rotary Club See page 6 and Elks Club.

Third-grade teacher at Fremont Elementary school, Deb Watts, teaches youngsters basic mathematics. Watts was one of the many Daly Fund awardees who returned to give back to the community.
“It’s great because you have to typically take out loans to go to school,” Bogardus said, “It saves so much time and money and there is no interest. It was a huge help especially since tuition is going up at schools.” As the Daly Fund has helped in paying for a good portion of his schooling, Bogardus said that it is unquestionably a positive and huge benefit for him and the community. A recent returnee from her education is Michaela Barry, who is now employed at Lake County Public Health where she does outreach and follow-up with clientele, requiring a great deal of travel to the rural areas of Paisley, Plush and Christmas Valley. Barry is a third-generation Daly fund awardee after her grandmother Sharon Faulkner and her aunt Kareen Prentice. She is a 2008 graduate of LHS and attended five years at OSU majoring in Public Health, Health Promotion, Health Behavior and gained a minor in Women’s Studies. In the summer of 2013, Barry did an internship for Public Health and then, when she graduated, was contacted by Dir. Mary Wilkie for full-time employment. Barry calls it a perfect job for a new grad and couldn’t turn down the opportunity. “I hope to have a career successful enough to donate back to that fund so that people can still continue to receive it in Lake County,” said Barry. “It’s amazing to see a community so small have something this big. We are very lucky.” At present, there are around 100 students who are being funded by the Daly Fund, who are each awarded $8,400, which covers about one-third of the yearly tuition. As Dr. Daly stated in his Will, the fund truly helps “worthy and ambitious young men and women of my beloved county of Lake.”

With its stand-out red exterior, Snack Shack’s offerings of burgers, fries, sandwiches, shakes, and other delightful foods has a massive following and devotion among Lakeview residents. By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner There’s more going on than flipping burgers and frying fries in Lakeview’s Snack Shack. Any customer who walks through the restaurant’s front door is guaranteed a smile and greeting from the mostly young workers. Kelly Hileman, Snack Shack’s owner, instills this sense of friendliness in each of her workers, which is greatly complemented by the delicious selection that the restaurant’s extensive menu affords for their customers. Growing up in New Pine Creek, Hileman often found herself working in her father’s eatery, Hometown Cafe. She did everything in her preteens at the restaurant from waiting tables, doing dishes and even a little bit of cooking. These experiences gave her the basic know-hows
that have been useful in the future. When the prospect of buying her own restaurant came about eight years ago, she jumped on it after Hileman was nudged by her husband Steve to take on the ownership. From Hileman’s former employment at the District Attorney’s office to the restaurant, she has kept the same scrumptious menu while adding the flair of customer service. In 2007, she took that risk and dove in and has survived running the Shack ever since. She contributes much of the success that the restaurant has had to Steve, who puts in labor behind-the-scenes while also having a full-time job. To keep her customers coming back, Hileman takes careful consideration about who she hires to be those smiling faces when customers walk through the door. Of the restaurant’s employees, Hileman leans toward a younger workforce for a variety
More Than Just Burgers of reasons. One of which is that they generally stay around the business for longer periods of time, some coming in at sophomore year of high school and leaving at graduation. “It takes months to learn all the stuff. We do everything from cooking and cashiering,” said Hileman about what it takes to fully train a new worker. High school workers are also more willing to work parttime shifts during the week, as opposed to older workers who have many more expenses to consider when looking for employment. Another part of her philosophy is that it helps them grow into adulthood as they learn financial and work responsibilities through their work. Hileman uses the instance of her son Brandon, who now works at Hall Motor Company. She contributes the many compliments she gets about Brandon’s upstanding
character to his time working for the Snack Shack. According to Hileman, Brandon was quiet and shy at the beginning, but broke out to be more outgoing and personable with the customers. She is seeing the same result with her daughter Quinci, 16, who works for her now. “I’ve seen a lot of kids grow from it,” Hileman recalls. “They keep me young too. I have great employees who work for me,” she adds smiling. Growing into adulthood comes with learning the basics of life like how to save money and responsibility. Though Hileman has a maternal relationship with her workers at times, she knows when to reel it into reality to make them realize that they are still her employees. In them, she

tries to implant the ideals of what a successful restaurant requires like customer service, cleanliness and consistency in every order that goes out. Of course, the staff isn’t the only reason that customers frequent Snack Shack on the regular though it doesn’t hurt either. The food itself is a treat in whatever the customer orders. “We are big for our burgers,” Hileman said. With 20 burgers with a vast variety ranging from the basic hamburger to their Super Bacon burger, to even their specialty Jiffy, Aloha and Wrangler burgers among many, many more, there is something for every set of taste buds. Though burgers are their specialty, there are a lot more options that many would be surprised at discovering were available in Lakeview. Hileman explains that the more variety that they can offer, the wider the customer base. For the more adventurous eater who enjoys the seaside offerings, Snack Shack has seafood like fish sandwiches, filets and clam strips. For those who are watching their waistline, arrays of dietary low-calorie foods are also available like garden burgers, salads, grilled chicken burgers and even sweet potato fries. Snack Shack has a bright future moving ahead with Hileman in charge. Two years ago, the site underwent maintenance to make it more aesthetically pleasing all while still serving up their burgers and fries to customers. Looking down the road, Hileman sees a repainting project near and possibly a drive-thru much later, which would help the restaurant compete in the small Lakeview market. Hileman and her family stay in Lakeview because of hometown devotion. “We love Lakeview. It’s our world,” she said. Snack Shack is open Monday through Friday 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. It is located at 405 N. J St. in Lakeview and can be reached at 541-947-4948.

True Value Makes a Move By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner For over a century, starting with T.E. Bernard’s Hardware and Implements, the corner of Center and E streets in Lakeview has been the home of hardware stores providing a variety of wares to residents off and on, but as of mid-April that is no longer the case. Lakeview True Value Hardware, after many difficult months of planning, construction and moving of inventory, have officially relocated to the Collins Building, 318 N. F St., former home of Hall Motor Company-GM, providing a vastly expanded inventory and more visible location for the popular retail chain. In 2012 Dan Henderson, formerly the chief financial officer for Omnibus Enterprises, decided to purchase the True Value Hardware store and relocate his family to Lakeview. He quickly realized that while the beloved historic building was a fixture in the community, it was simply inadequate for the operation’s needs. Inventory overflowed on shelves and in aisles, often making simply traversing the narrow aisles without tripping a precarious endeavor. Henderson spent many months pondering a solution, until one presented itself when the Collins
KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner
True Value Hardware in Lakeview opened its new expanded store on Hwy 395 next to Safeway on Friday, April 17 in the former Hall Motor Company-GM building, offering double the inventory of goods and a more visible location. The process to move True Value from its previous location was a roughly year-long process from concept to completion.
Building became available for purchase. Whereas the building True Value has occupied for decades covered 3,200 square feet of sales floor, the Collins Building has over 7,500 square feet just in its garage bay alone. The new location could facilitate practically double the inventory, with new items added while maintaining the services provided such as pipe threading and key duplication. Henderson used the nuts and bolts section as a prime example of the supply of goods opportunities afforded with the new space, the former location offered roughly 16 feet of shelf space dedicated to inventory, while the new store holds more than 56 feet exclusively for nuts and bolts. Following negotiations for acquisition of the vacant property, the real work began. Construction at the new site took place concurrently with employees building and stocking shelves of new inventory in order to meet the desired timeline of a spring opening. Deliveries of new goods began in February, often with shelves being built and stocked in one corner while construction on the same floor was still underway simultaneously. The completion of the new store is the culmination of a solid year of work, a process that Henderson was relieved to complete for the future of the store’s operations and sanity of the staff after many days
logging 14 hours or more of work to maintain operations at the old store while preparing the new one for its opening. “I haven’t had a good nap in a while, I need one,” joked Henderson in the final week before opening doors at the new store location on Friday, April 17. “This is kind of like moving a 3,000 square foot home…for a hoarder.” Utilizing local contractors Tracy Electric and Thornton Builders to handle the construction of the new store and staff managing the arduous process of stocking and tagging shelves, the True Value team got some unexpected help from the community. Chris Finetti, an employee of Tracy Electric who also is an assistant coach for the Lakeview High School track and field team, coordinated a weekend where the track team assisted in the final packing and transporting of inventory from the former store location to the new one, every extra hand welcomed in the final stages of relocating the massive inventory True Value provides. Even with the extra help in the closing days of the former store, weariness prompted Henderson to launch what he coined the “Dan Don’t Wanna Move It MovTRUE VALUE ing Sale,” offerSee page 14 ing up everything

The new store, now open with a grand opening celebration planned for May 1-3, offers separate departments, wide aisles, ample room for inventory of goods and a large sales floor. Henderson hopes that the more visible location, next to Safeway on Hwy 395, will also result in more business. Yet despite the physical attributes, according to Henderson it remains the same great customer service they have always provided that has made True Value such a success in the community and for the foreseeable future. From providing new products to helping fix broken items, the team at True Value have a well-earned reputation for going the extra mile for people, often helping to repair items or even make the occasional house call for seniors to assist at no extra cost. “We try our best not to turn down anybody, people bring us their broken items and we do our best to fix them,” said Henderson. “We believe in customer service, we’re here to help people, it’s not about what they buy, it’s about the people. Our employees make it happen, they come to us with great ideas, this wouldn’t be possible without them. We have a great crew.” With operations underway at the new store, a well-earned break would logically be in

Webbon Recounts Times at NASA By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
JIMMY HALL/ Lake County Examiner
Standing next to his Cessna 182 that he uses to commute to southern California, Webbon is still active in his research and works at NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center and Ames Research Center. If you have ever seen Ron Howard’s movie “Apollo 13,” one aspect that may stick out may be the NASA engineers who worked around the clock to get the crew back home after an exploding oxygen tank crippled their mission. One of those, some may call NASA geeks, lives in our own Outback and is still working to push the envelope of innovation. Bruce Webbon, a man with a rich, fascinating background of work with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), eventually found his way to Lake County after he loosely retired from his profession. Bruce’s wife Lissa’s parents bought land in Lake County in 1961 when they lived in Stockton, Calif. Bruce and Lissa eventually bought the land from her family and moved to Lake County full time in 1999. Bruce began his NASA career as a graduate student in 1968. His first undertaking was quantifying the explosive potential of the Saturn V moon rocket if it malfunctioned on the launch pad or shortly after launch. Bruce explains that all rockets have a self-destructive mechanism in case of malfunction that would allow the rocket to be destroyed before it could fly over a populated area. The problem was to determine how large the blast radius would be if it was destroyed at a low altitude. After his work on the Saturn V, Bruce moved to Houston, Texas in 1969 to 1970 to work on the Apollo missions 12, 13 and 14.
This is where he got the interest and was first involved in life support systems for vehicles and spacesuits that would carry his NASA career. During these Apollo missions, Bruce was the Thermal Analysis Coordinator for engineers. When the Apollo 13 incident was happening, Bruce was on the ground floor trying to sort it all out with the rest of them during five tense and crucial days when those three astronaut’s lives hung in the balance. Bruce was part of the effort to preserve the life of those astronauts, a feat that was to literally figure out how to fit a square peg in a round hole. A critical issue in the Apollo 13 mission was when the equipment was powered down to preserve energy. The resulting low temperatures could cause complications with the inertia measurement unit, which was the heart of the navigation system and had to be functional upon reentry. The Thermal Analysis Team was tasked to put together a detailed mathematical model to determine if it would be functional when needed. The team determined that it would work as long as it was preheated prior to when it was needed. Another concern in the mission he was responsible for was determining how the condensed water from the humidity being produced by the astronauts would affect the spacecraft systems when the power was turned back on in the vehicle. This began

his interest in modeling and experiments to investigate the behavior of liquids in zero gravity, which eventually became his PhD research. He was hired by NASA to work at Ames Research Center in the San Francisco bay Area in 1974. He left NASA in 1981 to work for the Stanford Research Institute where he was head of Bioinstrumentation Technology. While there, he developed NASA TIES medical technolSee page 18 ogy for the

NASA TIES From page 16 government, NASA and commercial companies. One of these developments was technology that enables the self-blood pressure measurement devices that are now commonplace. Bruce returned to NASA in 1986 to become a research Branch Chief, a job he says he enjoyed, where he headed up the development of advanced spacesuits and portable life support systems. In this position he was also able to pursue his interests and develop applications of the NASA technology for medical devices on Earth. One of his proudest applications was the NASA-developed portable cooling systems to relieve some of the symptoms of multiple sclerosis. Bruce’s research team was given a $1 million NASA grant to conduct a national clinical trial of the cooling concept of MS patients in order to verify the efficacy of the cooling technology. He worked with NASA National Institutes of Health and four MS treatment centers to conduct this double-blind study. The results, which showed the concept did provide relief for many patients at far lower cost than commonly used drugs, were published in the medical journal Neurology. Bruce was also a part of the development of the Medical Anti-Shock Trousers

shock of blood loss and shock following traumatic injury. He was inducted into the National Space Foundation’s Space Technology Hall of Fame in 1996 for his part in the development of this technology, which has been used on literally millions of patients since its introduction. He also was inducted in 1993 for his work on the applications of Liquid-Cooled Garments. Bruce is one of only two people to be inducted in the Hall of Fame more than once. His career accomplishments in the development and application of space technology to medical devices earned him a nomination for the Discovery magazine Technology Humanity award. After all these years, NASA still isn’t done using Bruce’s brilliance and interest in space technology. Now he is working for the Flight Opportunities program, which is working to develop the emerging commercial space industry. In the works as well is an educational program where he can work with graduate students to get them even more involved in space technologies. Even at Bruce’s seasoned age, it doesn’t seem like he is looking to slow down his work with NASA… at least for a few more years.

Sweet Melodies for Decades By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner Since 1974 women in Lake County have gathered to collectively share their voices and mutual passion for music through the Sagebrush Echoes, a symbiotic singing group whose only key membership criteria is to love to sing. The group has since its inception carried close familial ties with the Lakeview Elks Lodge, having been originally organized by a previous Elks Lodge Exalted Ruler, Ernest McKinney. The volunteer group began humbly enough, performing at the Elks Lodge and other community events where live performances were requested. But, McKinney had grandiose dreams, envisioning that someday the Echoes would perform in the state capitol’s rotunda in Salem. The Elks Lodge continues to sponsor the group present day, providing a rehearsal space for the Sagebrush Echoes every week. McKinney would never get to see his dream of a capitol performance in his lifetime, as he died tragically during a performance in 1977 while directing the group at a flag ceremony, a traumatic and memorable moment in the group’s history. Others carried on McKinney’s dream however, Helen Kennedy stepping forward to conduct the choir, fulfilling McKinney’s aspirations by leading the group to Salem, singing not only in the rotunda but also for the farm bureau banquet. Since 1980 Lauri Crocker has directed the all-women’s singing group, now entering her 35th year in charge of coordinating all aspects of the

Sagebrush Echoes. It is a monumental undertaking but one that Crocker takes in stride, from organizing practices at the Elks Lodge on Monday nights to collecting sheet music and coordinating performances. Accompanied on piano by Susie Cahill, the group averages six to eight performances a year, taking summers off but otherwise happy to accommodate most any request across the county where their presence is requested. The Sagebrush Echoes have performed at everything from Christmas tree lighting ceremonies to elder hostels, long-term care facilities, parties, weddings, funerals and special events. They have even traveled as far as Portland to participate in the Delta Kappa Gamma state convention. Their willingness to perform anywhere has taken the members to some odd locations, including moving a piano onto a flatbed truck to sing outside at Hunter’s Hot Springs. Unlike organized choirs in other communities that may necessitate auditions and formal music education, the Sagebrush Echoes have a much more cavalier approach, which according to Crocker leads to a more free-form and fun setting. “There are no auditions, all we require is a love to sing,” said Crocker. “We furnish music, any ladies who are post-high school are welcome to join.” The group performs a wide variety of music, their repertoire being wide enough to hopeSAGEBRUSH ECHOES fully accommodate the See page 22 audience’s tastes,

SAGEBRUSH ECHOES From page 20 adeptly able to switch between classical and country tunes to Broadway showtunes and religious music. While the Sagebrush Echoes are coordinated as an all-female group, during Christmas time the group expands and welcomes in all members of the community to form a Christmas Chorus for the annual cantata. Whenever possible they utilize the individual talents of members, such as the new addition of Lakeview High School music teacher Nikki Harris being able to add flute solos to select performances. After 35 years, it is the camaraderie that keeps Crocker coming back to happily conduct the choir, noting that the group has become a tight-knit family. While membership varies year to year, the Sagebrush Echoes consist of 25-30 members that Crocker describes as a musical family. Whether performing musical theater in association with the Lake Community Theatre or at weekly practices, the members participate for the joy that comes from joining their voices together. “No matter what their strife in life may be at the time, when these ladies get together the sound they produce is marvelous,” said Crocker. “I am so proud of them, there isn’t anything they wouldn’t do for each other.” While these days it has become a necessity to collect a $10 annual dues fee to participate from each member, which Crocker says goes toward the acquisition of sheet music, the group performs for free wherever they are called. Occasionally donations are happily accepted, but not expected or required. As the only large chorus in the county, the demand for their presence can be high. Wherever they are needed, these ladies of Lake County answer the call, sharing the gift of music as often as they can, brightening events and enriching lives.

Hidden Gems of

In the basement of the 39er Variety Store is hidden a great metal and neon sign from Fetsch’s Store from the early 1900’s.
By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner Much could be said about the breadth of the Oregon Outback, the busy streets of Lakeview, and the bustling nature that comes around every year at the Fairgrounds for Fair and Round-Up. In enriching the future of the county, oftentimes the past gets forgotten though spectacular it can be to the person who appreciates history. Besides the few museums that display prominent and clean artifacts that represent a specific time and place, forgotten are the gems in the basements that serve the same function.

the aura of the past and many peculiar, special items of interest. The building itself was constructed in 1913, making the building an astounding 102 years old, by William Heryford who was one of the area’s first ranching pioneers when he road into town in the 1870’s at only 23 years of age. In an astounding feat of endurance and skill, the building took only one year to complete. According to a prominent sign on the exterior of the building: “The primary purpose being to provide space for the early Elks Club and office space, to attract good doctors and business people. The ground floor and basement was occupied by a department store and early drug store. The second story was primarily Elks Club and office space, while the third story contained apartments. (The building was) later sold
to the Elks Club and then into private interests. Relatively bare on the inside, the Heryford still is home to many pieces of historical interest. One of these is the art deco bar that functioned from the 1930’s to the 1980’s that served the many festivities of the Heryford building’s operations. Another interesting artifact of the past is the old, dusty seats that came from one of the most prominent cultural centers in town: the Marius Theater. When contractors revamped the Marius building, they sold off the theater seats which were later sold to John Cogar and stored in the Heryford. He said that he was intrigued to buy them because of the history that YESTERYEAR they held of the See page 28 old facility.

YESTERYEAR From page 26
JIMMY HALL/ Lake County Examiner
Mike Beeson, owner of the 39er Variety Store, holds cards that read measurements from past customers of the Matchless Store. Parts of the old clock face of the original town courthouse are also hidden in the basement, which is a thrill and a sight to see for anyone who takes a tour through the cavernous underbelly. Cogar, the current owner of the Heryford Building, said that he discovered the parts at a dump and realized they were the clock mechanism out of the bell tower from old courthouse. A remnant of Lakeview’s past lays underneath the historic building. One sign reads “37 Years Quality and Service,” which was part of the Lakeview Mercantile float for the Round-Up parade. At the time, the mercantile on the building’s first floor acted as the Wal-Mart Superstore of its day, selling everything from food to ammunition. Also, what can be found are pieces of furniture from Helena, Mont. that came into town in the 1870’s. Cogar said that he has had plans to restore them to their natural and original beauty but hasn’t had the time to get to it yet. Of the more unusual findings in the basement of the Heryford Building is one of a makeshift ram head and torso that is fas-
tened on two archaic wheels. The purpose of the unusual artifact was that of Elks Club initiation rituals. “If you’ve ever heard the saying ‘the goat you rode in on’, this would be the goat that you would have ridden in on as initiation in the Elks Lodge,” said Cogar. JIMMY HALL/ Lake County Examiner
John Cogar, the current owner of the Heryford building stands at the art deco bar that was used from the 1930’s to the 1980’s at many Heryford building functions.
The Heryford Building isn’t the only hidden space under the streets that has remarkable and attention-grabbing items. The 39er Variety Store’s backroom and basement houses other notable items that hearken back to the early days of Lakeview. According to the 39er’s owner, Mike Beeson, the backspace was once a Chinese laundry as evidenced by an old ironing board and presses that are tucked securely into the backroom of the store. Beeson has been wanting to donate it to a museum to display, but because of the unit’s massive size the museums don’t have much room for it. Beeson’s historic crown jewel that is carefully tucked away is the original sign of the store, not of the 39er but of Fetsch’s Men’s & Boy’s Wear. Made out of heavy steel and tubes to emit light, the sign is an impressive sight. The story of the sign is the same as the Chinese Laundromat, so it stays in its safe location among the wellkempt basement of the 39er. A sign that Beeson keeps on the top shelf of his storage complements the bulky sign nicely. Pink with white decorations around the board reads “Fetsch’s Since 1911.” Of the many items that Beeson shows illustrates the kind of service and closeness that business owners had with their customers. Index sized cards held the important information for suit and dress sizes for each customer of the Matchless Store. Beeson said that when family members come in to see where their family had grown-up they would request these if he had them and he would happily oblige. Though the streets of Lakeview show their own changes throughout the years through wind and rain, these pieces of history are left untouched and unappreciated over the years that bring up even more memories of the town’s olden times.

By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner If Lakeview were known for one thing, it would be the scores of philanthropic organizations that are involved in various facets of the community. Among them, Lakeview’s Rotary International chapter has had a long-standing reputation in giving funds and other efforts to a great deal of charitable causes. Spearheading a number of these committees has been Andrew Rucker, a rotarian who has invested his time and energy for the success and benefit of the local citizens. Though living in Lakeview since July 2011, only four years, Rucker has helped with programs like the Wild Goose Chase, Dictionary Program, the Tree of Joy and many others that directly benefit the local community. Besides these charitable programs, Rotary also has donated considerably to Lake County Youth Mentor Program, booster clubs and the Lakeview Disaster Unit. “Anything we, as Rotary, do is for Lakeview or Lake County,” said Rucker. One substantial example is the Goose Chase program that has been around for
about 15 years. Two years ago, the proceeds of the annual fundraiser went to renovating the local swimming pool and to help the Lakeview Disaster Unit buy a new power gurney. Rotary is able to donate on average $10,000 to $15,000, based on ticket sales each year to the organization(s) selected by the committee and club. This amount is in addition to the prizes that Rotary awards to the top two winners, whose prizes are a $10,000 Lakeview Business Certificate and $1,000 cash. Rucker gives an example of the highest prize awarded from the Wild Goose Chase last year when Green Mountain Bakery was given $10,000 to replace the location’s new heating system. He explains that the one stipulation of the cash prize is that it would have to be used within the community, so Green Mountain Bakery had to contract with a local company to do the work. However the program is used, Rucker’s main concern is to keep the profits within the community. “We are all about wanting to see Lakeview succeed,” Rucker said.“And if we can be a part of keeping people in the community and keep kids active, that’s what we would want to do.”
For this year’s big venture, Rotary has its eyes on completing the high school soccer field, which is currently in development. A variety of other philanthropic organizations have generously pitched in to the construction, such as Soroptimist and the Collins Company. The idea derived from Rucker noticing the need of a regulation sized soccer field for high school athletics, as they currently practice and play on the baseball fields. The cause swelled even more when his children had no place to practice when the geothermal lines were cutting across the elementary school lawn. By approaching Lake County School District #7 Supt. Sean Gallagher, who is also a Rotarian, and by going through the proper channels, Rotary was able to initiate the project with much public support. When all is said and done, the price tag of the field will be between $55,000 to $60,000. Rucker has a real soft spot for the needs within the community, especially when it comes to the youth.

COMMUNITY SERVICE From page 30 He believes that when extracurricular needs are met, then academics naturally fall into place, which greatly impacts any student. “If you make a difference with one kid, you make a difference in the world, and I don’t want to stop at just one,” he said. “A positive role model is something that is fading into the darkness in our society, but our community has many positive role models.” The passion for the younger generation that Rucker has comes from the idea of teamwork, specifically when he played basketball in high school. His team was unique in the way that they supported each other on and off the court in their struggles in school and home. His mentality translated directly into his work with the public. Though a transplant from various parts of the western United States, Rucker has found that Lakeview is the perfect fit for his giving nature and for
his family. He said that there is little to no anxiety when his own children play about the neighborhood, which is a vast contrast to where he used to live. Rucker’s family found their way to Lakeview when his uncle, Tom Fuller, offered him work at Nolte Fuller Insurance, where he works now. Since then he has found his footing in the community, contributing wherever and however he is able. “This community has really big arms and they open wide, especially if you have a servant’s heart,” he said with a smile, further explaining that the community is always welcome to support those who are willing to volunteer. Rucker justifies that his personality and caring disposition comes from his Christian beliefs; everything in his character stems from that. Because of these beliefs, he enjoys the time he has to give to his church, social clubs and community. “Life is too short to get

North Lake Retirement Center Becoming Reality By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner
KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner
Construction is well underway while funding is still sought to complete the Senior Rec Center at Outback Retirement Center in Christmas Valley. It all began a decade ago, local farmers having a vision of a place for local seniors to have an affordable retirement center based on local economics. Initially helping seniors relocate and facilitate needs, fundraisers soon began to establish a 501(c)3 non-profit board forming the Outback Second Hand Store to help fund the process of building a retirement center. Plans moved forward for the construction of a center, Hank Wirkentine funding out of his own pocket initial work for a location comprising 25 acres east of Christmas Valley. Soon it became clear that the construction would make it cost prohibitive for seniors to afford living there, and a plan B was sought. After a year of searching, George Schmidt and his wife Joy, owners of Jackrabbit Junction, offered the property at cost to the non-profit board. Paid in full through the help of two grants, the former Jackrabbit Junction property is undergoing a massive facelift to become a new one-stop shop approach to affordable senior living. The Jackrabbit Junction property encapsulates senior needs within close proximity. On the property is a laundromat, beauty salon, gift store and recently refurbished restaurant. Within short walking distance is a medical facility, social services, grocery store and state park. The grounds have space for RV parking, mobile homes and modular homes. A 2,000 square foot modular building

was recently purchased and shipped to the property to be converted into a senior recreation center, while park models are being installed and leased. An added advantage of the property was that it was already fully certified and permitted for installation of park model mobile homes. Phase two of the former Jackrabbit Junction property includes plans for a water therapy and exercise facility complete with two hot tubs, lap pool and exercise room, with continued additions of park models, scooter trails and development of an additional 4.5 acres for more park models. Each park model is around 400-500 square feet, capable of comfortably housing 1-2 occupants. The rec center will have a 125 person capacity able to facilitate senior and community activities. Rent offered to seniors will vary, around the $550-700 range, incorporating all utilities and maintenance except for electricity. It is hoped that perhaps even a volume pharmacy may open a satellite branch on the property. The board in charge of the retirement center is comprised of eight members from diverse backgrounds, all who have donated large sums to the cause out of pocket without taking a dime in return. In addition to fundraisers, the second hand store has largely funded the vision of the retirement center, along with numerous donations of materials, labor and funds from the community. Overseeing the development of all of these plans is Bernie Bennett, administrative director for Outback Retirement Center, coordinating development of facilities and working closely with the eight-member board. At current pace, Bennett anticipates preliminary on-premise living being operational as early as Spring 2015. “Our goal is to have this be a full-service, one-stop-shop retirement center,” said Bennett. “The board members all put in a lot of hours without pay on development of the project.” The hope is to develop modified living eventually progressing to assisted or full care living, employing a full-time medical staff. With still $14,000 needing to be raised to complete the senior rec center, donations and support are always needed, including the possibility of investors purchasing and leasing them to Outback Retirement center. With so much still in development, visiting the property isn’t as much about seeing what is there now, but the potential of what it will become through the efforts of so many wanting to provide a place for seniors to live comfortably, affordably. For more information contact Bernie Bennett at 541-777-7565.

One Son of Ed Staub & Sons By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner For over 50 years, Ed Staub & Sons has serviced the region around Lakeview, branching out into three other states including Oregon, California, Idaho and Nevada. It took a lot of work and dedication from Ed Staub to get it to how successful it is now. Though Ed passed away five years ago, his legacy lives on through the dedication and customer service of his heirs and the company’s more than 400 employees. One of the owners is one of Ed’s sons, Dave Staub has been working, managing and overseeing the operations locally for a wide range of years. Dave does not operate the entire company, but leaves that to his younger brother Brad at the Klamath Falls headquarters. Dave explains that the profitable propane, diesel and monitor heating oil delivery service began way before him and even before the company’s namesake. Dave’s grandparents Walter and Helen Staub moved from Minnesota to northern California to begin a family fuel business by purchasing Beiber Chevron Bulk Plant in 1952. Ed found the love of trucking when he was 17 years old as he hauled lumber to a mill and drove for his father’s company during the summer months. In 1959, the family moved to Alturas, Calif. and purchased even more plants there in Cedarville and Surprise Valley. In August 1977, the company bought the Lakeview plant and Dave has found himself there ever since. Though growing up and attending high school in Alturas, Dave has always had an affinity for the Oregon side of the border, so much so he calls it his home and the business providing a comfortable way of life. “The business has been good to us,” he said, adding that he will turn 60 this year and hasn’t thought about retiring until recently. He and Brad are in close contact by email and telephone calls multiple times per day, as it comes with the territory of running a business as presidents, though they try not to get too hung up on titles. But it isn’t just the two brothers who flesh out the family in the company. Keeping the business close to the family is important for the two, as they have hired their own offspring throughout the years and throughout the operating area. “For a parent putting his confidence in his kid is a lot easier than a boss putting confidence in an employee,” Dave said. Throughout his 40 years, Dave said that the market has made a significant impact on how business is conducted. For one, consolidation has been tremendous as there were numerous plants in

Lakeview and Alturas but that has been whittled down to just one in each province. He rationalizes that it is a nationwide issue and that the market has shrunk so much that it is hard to support more than one fuel company like it once was. In the Lakeview branch, the company keeps one and a half trucks fully ONE SON operational, which only shows that there See page 38 are

not as many deliveries as there used to be. Other than the market, he explains that technology has changed the daily operations. Rather than filling out ledger cards one by one, the company switched to billing electronically. “If I could have what we paid in postage, I would be thrilled to death,” Dave said laughing. One aspect of the company that has been infused in the employees ever since Ed was at the helm is customer service. “You make mistakes over the years,” Dave said of the proper way of dealing with customer’s needs, “but you try not to make the same ones over and over again.” As the philosophy of the company goes, “Service, Hard Work and Honesty,” Dave does assert that he and his staff do whatever they can to provide those three ideals for every customer they service. The customer service reputation that Ed Staub & Sons has goes directly back to the values
of its founder, Ed. Dave explains that his father was a good “people person and sales guy.” According to Dave, Ed loved the business so much as he worked from sun up to sun down that it took place of any other potential hobbies. After a stroke, Ed’s last years of his life were difficult but found the strength to continue the work in whatever capacity he was able. Dave said that his father told the pair of sons that if they weren’t happy with the work, they were free to sell it. “If we weren’t enjoying it, he wouldn’t want us carrying the company on,” said Dave. Thankfully, Dave and Brad have enjoyed the labor and have continued on the legacy that their father and grandfather started. Dave said that Ed put much confidence in them and they are still working hard to upkeep what he built. Dave and his wife Sandi, have four children together. Oldest son Danny who

Hart Mountain Store Provides the Essentials JIMMY HALL/ Lake County Examiner
Located in the middle of the town of Plush, Hart Mountain Store acts as a go-to shopping center for Warner Valley residents. As a lifeline of the Plush community, the Hart Mountain Store acts as a grocery Swiss Army knife carrying the many essentials that any resident would ever need. Owner and operator, Dave Heath, gives his all to guarantee his shelves are properly stocked with the conveniences to save time, money and energy for his customers who would have to acquire the goods elsewhere. “It’s a quaint country store,” explains Heath of the ambience that is associated when newcomers walk through the store doors. Just like any old-fashioned store, Hart Mountain Store has the rustic floors and shelving that will bring any visitor back to the days of the 19th Century where the town people would gather to pick up the essentials that were brought in by the Wells Fargo wagon. The store isn’t stuck back in that time period though. The store is modernly furnished with modern features for the preserving of merchandise. “Hopefully customer service and helping fulfilling their needs,” answers Heath when asked what brings customers coming back to his services. Heath said that their schedule speaks for their reliability as they are open all days of the year except for the big three holidays: Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter. Although the function of the Hart Mountain Store remains the same as time past, Heath’s tactics of how to keep the store brimming with goods have updated as he relies on three different companies to bring in the meats, produce and groceries. Lined on the store’s shelves are the staple foods beginning with the mandatory fresh vegetables and fruits like potatoes, onions, lettuce, green peppers, apples and oranges that go into nightly dinners. The required grocery items are also at the customer’s convenience. Frozen items like ice cream bars and half-gallon cartons of ice cream are available as well as beer and wine at the bar. Not only does the Hart Mountain Store have a functioning grocery option, but also a restaurant fully equipped with a grill. Here the staff serves hamburgers, steak sandwiches, which are made By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
from delicious New York Strip Steak, in addition to the wide selection of corn dogs, hot dogs and beef strip baskets. Every so often, the restaurant has a $30 dinner special that entirely includes prime rib, a twice-baked potato, veggies, homemade rolls and dessert.

GATHERING SPOT from 11 a.m. until closing time. The edibles aren’t the expediency that brings the locals and even the out-of-towners into the store for their business. Stocked with sweatshirt, T-shirts and caps embroidered and stamped with the Hart Mountain Store logo is also a pretty good seller for the store. The store also sells the necessary diesel and gas along with quick enough tire fixes to get to a more suitable place to get their repair. With this many goods to juggle and manage, Heath has a long history and expertise for keeping everything in order. “You just have to stay on top of it and see what you have to have for the next week,” said Heath, adding that sometimes two week orders are especially a guessing game and making sure that dairy products and other perishables don’t expire before their respective dates are a challenge. Heath worked his way up at Safeway Food and Grocery as a courtesy clerk bagging grocer-

ies up to management, where he held the position for 10 years. After his time in groceries, he owned Lakeview’s OK Corral for 27 years before selling it and purchasing the Hart Mountain Store in July 2005. Even his experience with cowboying in Oregon as Heath grew up gave him more insight on what the local ranchers need and what he can provide. In fact, Heath does his best to fulfill any order that the local ranchers have, which can be pet food to the basic ranching supplies. Heath sees much traffic from locals who are in need of stocking their refrigerators, but also from out-of-towners from foreign countries who roll into the area to see the wondrous Hart Mountain National Wildlife antelope reservation. Another big draw are the Sunstone mines and the Hart Mountain Refuge then go on to see the Steens Mountain Wilderness Resort. “Plush is where the pavement ends and the Outback begins,” said Heath with a grin. “If

Railroad Tragedy in Lakeview — the First in Lake County By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner Railroad crossings today come complete with warning signals and barriers to help prevent incidents, but back in 1935 no such advance notice existed at Lakeview’s intersection between the rail line and Western Ave., now known as Hwy 140, resulting in tragedy on Thursday, Jan. 31, 1935, the first rail crossing accident in the history of Lake County. The Southern Pacific Railroad had made its daily trek from Alturas, Calif. to Lakeview that day, just as it had regularly since first opening in 1912, delivering express mail and passengers to the Lakeview train

N.C.O. trains traveled daily between Alturas and Lakeview starting passenger service in 1912. In 1935 one evening the line had its most tragic incident, when a car struck a train’s snow plow, killing two. It was the first train accident in Lake County’s history.
depot. Following its deliveries the train slowly moved north of town to a turn-around known as “The Y” located today adjacent to the Lake County Fairgrounds and Collins mill, and began cautiously proceeding back south through town towards Alturas. It was at the crossing where a vehicle attempted to shoot in front of the train, catching its left front tire on the massive snow plow out in front of the passenger train to clear the tracks for the daily trek. A 1929 Chevrolet Sedan with five passengers, all who had been drinking moonshine out of a whiskey bottle discovered in the car according to Sheriff Herbert Carroll, the driver and front seat occupant succumbed to their wounds suf-
fered in the accident. It was at 5:10 p.m. when the car attempted to beat the train to the intersection, the train conductor not seeing the vehicle until a split second before the collision, the view of conductor S.F. Phelan being obscured by large Standard Oil Company tanks, now Ed Staub and Sons. Head brakeman M.F. Phelan had a much better close up seat for the looming accident, but with little time to warn the conductor he had moments to either jump from the train or move away from his perch on the step of the engine. Concerned that he may have jumped into the oncoming car, Phelan quickly climbed up the upflung flange of the heavy snow plow, mere inches away from the impaled vehicle on the train’s plow. The car was carried 20 feet south along the track by the train, the front half of the vehicle completely severed from the remainder of the vehicle’s frame. All five passengers were
unconscious from the impact, thrown to the far right of the Chevrolet Sedan so hard that the interior was completely torn out, the five of them piled on top of each other outside of the wreck. The car, driven by Robert Hazen, was bound for New Pine Creek, carrying Clyde Fuller in the front seat and the rear seat occupied by Myrtle Fouts, Jane Morgan and Tom Mulkey. Mulkey, a local sheepman, escaped with only minor injuries, as did Morgan and Fouts, suffering facial lacerations and head wounds. Hazen and Fuller weren’t so lucky, the impact from the train breaking Hazen’s neck, dying almost instantly, and Fuller would die hours later following surgery to repair a fractured skull. Responders were quick on the grisly scene, as it just so

RAILROAD TRAGEDY From page 44 happened that District Attorney Charles Combs and Marshall Jack Flynn were riding in a car together coming back into town right behind the doomed vehicle, reaching the accident within 30 seconds of the initial impact. Getting an ambulance there to assist however was far trickier, as coroner and ambulance driver A.J. Ousley was delayed in his arrival several minutes as a result of irresponsible drivers blocking the streets morbidly seeking a closer look at the accident. Ousley found his siren to have little effect, few cars moving to clear a path, leading law enforcement to later issue citations for “interference.” Despite the delays, the survivors once awake kept up good spirits, Myrtle Fouts cracking jokes with Ousley on the ambulance ride to the Lakeview hospital, telling him that she didn’t need the ‘dead wagon’ just yet, and continuing to joke with doctors and nurses while they sewed up her multiple facial cuts. While the train had been traveling slow, the impact still resulted in a complete wreck for the stricken sedan. The car wasn’t overturned, but the steering wheel was shattered and the post shoved up against the windshield by the impact of Hazen’s body. In the wake of the accident the five-member train crew stayed in Lakeview to give their testimony of the incident, the S.P. Railroad sending a second crew north from Alturas to retrieve the train. Within days Dr. Charles Leithead, district surgeon for the Southern Pacific Railroad in Lakeview, received a telegram from Dr. W.B. Coffey in San Francisco, chief surgeon to the railroad, stating that the company would assume no expenses in connection with five trespassers injured in the crossing accident of Jan. 31. Today the location of the grim accident has warning lights to give drivers advance notice of a coming train, but the lives lost that evening serve as a reminder to all drivers to use great caution at

Antique Bar a Centerpiece of Paisley’s History
KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner
Elizabeth Rose enjoys a meal at the Pioneer Saloon’s century-old bar. A plaque hangs above the mirror explaining the structure’s history.
By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner
For over 130 years the Pioneer Saloon and Restaurant has served patrons in Paisley, a central hub of social life and infamous encounters, and at the heart of it all rests a century-old antique bar with more than its fair share of stories to tell. The building now known as the Pioneer Saloon was constructed in 1883, back when the town of Paisley was still several miles away up by the Brighton Ranch. After a few years at the original location the town had difficulty in getting water, so it was relocated to the current spot, conveniently with the saloon right in the center of the new town. Today the Pioneer Saloon remains one of only two original structures from the settlement of the area, approximately 45 miles north of Lakeview along the Chewaucan River. It is owned by Terry and Sandy Leinbach, who bought the business two years ago. The Leinbachs have added new items to the menu and remodeled the back patio and game room, but the historic ambience of the location remains intact, a building that has largely come to define the community of Paisley and its fascinating past. Paisley in its early years developed a reputation of being a rambunctious and brawling village, prone to fights, drunken escapades and infamous card games. Originally built just as a single room, a pharmacy was constructed next door a few years later, that portion eventually remodeled into KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner an apartment and later when Oregon liquor laws changed the apartment Terry and Sandy Leinbach (with help from dogs Waldo space was converted into a kitchen to turn the and Lula) are the owners and operators of the Pioneer business into a restaurant and bar.

PIONEER SALOON From page 48
SUBMITTED PHOTO
George Cooley mans the bar at what was then known as the Cooley Saloon for Jack Coleman, John Drumm and Al Farrow some time before 1919. known for a time as the Cooley Saloon. During the 1920s when prohibition was in effect it became the Paisley Tavern, then back to the Pioneer Saloon when alcohol became legal again. The building, like most 19th century saloons, included upstairs rooms, with offerings of companionship, for a price, for those who desired it. It has been the sight of two hangings, a fatal shooting and stabbing, and comes complete with a resident ghost, Claude. The ghost is friendly according to the Leinbachs, he likes to change TV channels, but otherwise won’t bother anyone. Renowned for its food, gaining a reputation for pizzas and fish tacos especially, the saloon is a centerpiece of life in Paisley past and present. The bar itself remains the most appealing draw however, earning origin inquiries daily from first-time visitors. The bar was built by the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company in 1905 and shipped from Boston around South America to Portland. From there it was transported to Arlington, and eventually taken in two wagon trains to Paisley, led on freight by way of a six-horse team manned by Melvin Parker. An additional bar was included in that shipment to be sent on to Enid, Nev., which
is also still in use to this day. The Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company, based in Chicago and established in 1854, is world famous for billiards and bowling equipment. It added ornate neo-classical style bars with mirrors and stained glass to its repertoire in the 1880’s, finding great demand for their product from the many western saloons popping up in frontier towns. Between 1885 and 1900, Brunswick made 95 percent of all bar furniture, with estimates of one saloon for every 100 people in western towns. An 1891 catalog shows back bars selling for under $500, an intact Brunswick bar fetching upwards of $50,000 or more on today’s antique market. When originally installed it was thought improper for saloon patrons to sit, bar stools didn’t come into fashion until years later, explaining the noticeable height of the bar. The saloon has been witness to several infamous incidents, including a May 5, 1888 shooting that left a bartender dead following a dispute in a card game. In the early 1930s another incident resulted in a fatality, when a fight resulted in a stabbing, the victim returning upstairs to his room where he died. Today the saloon is a much friend-
lier place. In the backroom is a recently re-felted pool table, several video and bar games, and out back the Leinbachs have completely remodeled the patio. Previously an apple tree housed swarms of bees with logs for only the bravest of visitors to sit. Now a horseshoe pit, television and welcoming secluded tables await those wishing to dine and mingle in the sunshine. While hours of operation are listed as extending until 9 p.m., the Pioneer Saloon is happy to serve for as long as customers are present, often open late into the night. The menu has a wide range of options, but is renowned for their hamburgers, pizza, barbecue and tacos, all handmade when it is ordered. Whether enjoying a meal or admiring the elaborate design, eyes can’t help but be drawn to the bar’s many contours and historic carvings. Stop by for the food and drinks, stay for the ambience, Paisley’s historic Pioneer Saloon offers quite a story for the inquisitive. The Pioneer Saloon is located at 327 Main St. in Paisley.

Collins Survives through Land Management
KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner
Collins Pine has been successfully operating in Lakeview since the 1830s, thanks to a commitement to longterm forest management planning. Lake County was built largely on the timber industry, many of the multigenerational families calling the area home for years having first come here to work in the many mills and lumber camps that sprung up. At one time there was as many as seven mills operating at capacity around Lakeview, but as the timber industry faded and mills closed, one company survived and prospered through it all thanks to a philosophy of long-term land management - Collins Pine. Today the Collins Lumber Mill in Lakeview employs 75 people in addition to contracted drivers and loggers, the company owning private forestlands totaling roughly 97,600 acres spanning southern Oregon and northern California. Their secret to success is no big secret at all, one which they proudly share and encourage others to follow, a philosophy of long-term land management to both harvest and preserve while supporting communities through philanthropic efforts. At the heart of the operation is the Collins family, a humble collective still involved in the company’s operations 160 years since its initial founding in Pennsylvania in 1855. First coming west at the turn of the 20th century, the Collins Company established operations in Washington and California, buying up forest lands and establishing mill operations. In Chester, Calif. the company purchased 90,000 acres, and in Silver Lake, Wash. they acquired the Silver Lake Railway and Lumber Company among other purchases and sales to build the company’s assets and acquisitions. It wasn’t until the 1930s that the Collins Company turned its sights towards Lake County, E.S. Collins partnering with the J.T. McDonald Logging Company and the Lakeview Logging Company, eventually becoming the Collins Company operation still active today with an initial purchase of 25,000 acres. Today the company By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner
manages properties from Oregon to West Virginia, its growth a testament to not only shrewd business but also that of an ethical approach to harvesting timber. “What sets us apart is that we have a land base that we treat long-term, we don’t look at how quickly we can cut it, it only grows so much so we’re only going to cut so much,” said Lee Fledderjohann, resource manager for Collins’ Lakeview operations. “That philosophy and property ownership has really helped the company stay prosperous in lean times when other timber was unavailable.” Collins, focus is to conserve, preserve and actively manage healthy forests, selectively harvesting enough to sustain yields but not overcutting in a way that could be a detriment to the overall health of the forests. “We’re not managing forests to maximize intake, it’s a longterm commitment to forestry, the sawmill and the community,” said Travis Erickson, lands manager for Collins at the Lakeview mill. “It’s about balancing a proper yield and forest management, dealing with wildfire, and trying to create an equilibrium in the forest while providing product to the sawmill.” Surviving while all others went belly up in the region is a testament to not only philosophy, but hard work, stability and a certain executive grit to not give up in the face of adversity, even after the original mill burned down in 1946. “We’ve survived in part because of the timber lands we have, and we have a benevolent family that can weather the storm financially,” said Fledderjohann. “Others didn’t have intestinal fortitude to stick it out, but foresters are always optimists. Timber can be burned up, eaten up, blown over, but we’re going to try to manage it.” The management of lands is strinTIMBER INDUSTRY gent and extensive, Collins going out of See page 54

TIMBER INDUSTRY From page 52 their way to take special measures for ground operations in both fire watch and forest certification. The company has built a reputation for land ethics. “Our primary goal is to allow natural regeneration, but we do replant when necessary,” said Erickson. “We’re very close with many organizations, having worked on projects with groups such as the watershed council and the Lake Stewardship Group. We have a lot of interaction with Oregon Department of Forestry, Klamath Forest Protection Association, the Forest Fire Protection fund and more. What sets us apart from others is forest certification, we’ll have independent third parties come in to look at our forest practices overlaying on top of what we do with additional rules and regulations to become certified, showing we are committed to proper forest management. It includes conservation and socio-economic factors of non-timber resources on lands as well. The Collins family is fully committed to it.” The Collins family are not only shrewd entrepreneurs, but giving in their philanthropic efforts as well, supporting each community in which the company is located. In Lake County, Collins is active in local sponsorships, supporting school biology and science programs with field trips and tours of facilities and lands, have made portions of privately held lands available for recreation and donate hunting tags for youth and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. In a partnership with Warner Creek Correctional Facility, inmates harvest Collins-owned timber for firewood to be donated to senior citizens in the community during the cold winter months, coordinated through the Lake County Senior Center. While small in stature compared to other major timber-affiliated operations in Oregon such as Weyerhauser, Collins has carved

Summer Lake’s Pristine Getaway SUBMITTED PHOTO
By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner
Cabins at the Lodge at Summer Lake offer a spectacular morning view of the bass pond and Abert Rim. The Lodge at Summer Lake includes five cabins available to rent along with motel rooms, conference room, gift shop, restaurant and more.
For nearly seven decades The Lodge at Summer Lake has provided a getaway for hunters and travelers weary of the same scenery on the freeway, molded over time through various connotations and owners to the cozy destination resort it is today for those seeking an escape from the rat race. In 1946, post-war army surplus led to the inception of the resort, army barracks from Fort Abbot brought to Summer Lake and then combined with a portion of a dance hall brought up the road from Paisley to create the initial lodge structure. The Lodge’s early owners provided a somewhat crude but welcomed place for hunters and travelers to rest out of the harsh elements, gas up and get a bite to eat. In the 1960s seven motel rooms were built, and over the years other additions were made. It was in October, 1994, when Gary and Marie Brain along with their in-laws Gil and Jan Foust decided to leave behind their established lives in the big city and retreat to the quiet setting of Summer Lake. Gary and Jan, siblings, had often traveled to Lake County as kids, having family roots in the area. When word came that the old lodge was up for sale, the four agreed to buy it and relocate. What they got themselves into is looked back upon as “the money pit years,” spend-
ing 4-5 years upgrading and repairing all aspects of the facility to make it presentable. There was dry rot, old tiling, roof leaks repaired only with a stopgap measure of placing buckets in the attic, garbage and a thousand other repairs needed. With gusto the four got to work, adding a metal roof, the old one being severely damaged in a windstorm, replacing tiling and flooring, improving the kitchen and cleaning up the grounds. Through years of toil their work has paid off and then some, The Lodge at Summer Lake and Flyway Restaurant having become a friendly, homely place to stay that has an ambience more akin to visiting grandparents than a hotel. It is a true family operation, all four chipping in whether it be in the kitchen, serving food, maintaining the grounds, growing food in their gardens or office management. The Fousts and Brains have undergone dramatic upgrades to the property over their 20 years of ownership. They have built five beautiful cabins on the property that rest on the shore of their large bass pond with an exquisite morning view of Abert Rim, added a gift shop, horse hotel and upgraded the conference room and restaurant facilities. Offering spectacular views, comfy surroundings, friendly people and plenty of quiet, it is the epitome of a sooth-
ing calm place to relax and recharge from the hustle of urban life. The location, being directly across the street from the Summer Lake Wildlife Refuge and at the foot of Abert Rim, provides outdoor activities for birdwatching, horseback riding, fishing and in-season hunting. Complete with a piano stage and meeting room, the Lodge often serves as host for a variety of social activities in the area, including monthly hay growers meetings, senior meals, Christmas parties and their annual New Years fireworks extravaganza. Facilitating the light show is a pyrotechnic relative from Junction City, known as “Firebucket Steve.” “We do anything we can to accommodate a group,” said Marie Brain. “When people come here they become more like family. There’s a couple that still sends us a Christmas card every year, and usually come stay with us every May just to spend time here.” Homely ambiance aside, the restaurant’s menu is the biggest draw. Each owner brings a different flavor to the menu, taking great care to provide healthy, high quality meals. They eat the food served DESTINATION as well, and as See page 58 such test every

We use very low salt, if any, make our own bread and biscuits, but we’re best known for our soups, which we make from scratch.” While the menu has its mainstays, Brain says that their tamale soup and clam chowder have both grown loyal followings as community favorites on high demand. They also take advantage of seasonal products as well as the occasional advantageous truck passing through. Brain remembers fondly a watermelon truck with a collapsing pallet that resulted in fresh supplies, and an onion truck spilling its load resulting in a solid month of every variety of onion recipes they could come up with while enterprising locals brought in more onions by the pickup truckload from the spill site. The stage in the main restaurant area is adorned with Brain’s mother’s piano. While there is no official resident musician to entertain guests, anyone who inquires about it is immediately welcomed to per-
form. Often they have had traveling and local musicians stop by to provide live entertainment, from fiddlers and banjo players to guitarists stopping by to share music. Often live music is a mainstay at Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day parties hosted at the lodge. The gift shop includes necessities like toothbrushes and soap, but also is a treasure trove of gift ideas and party supplies while adding a rustic charm with a plentiful bounty of handmade goods from local residents. It has been a veritable lifetime of work to update the Lodge at Summer Lake into its current rendition, and for its owners the journey continues. While talk of retirement at some point has begun to creep in, there is no timetable for giving up the place they have molded into their own and called home for so many years. “We love Summer Lake Valley, we like the place and love the people,” said Brain. “Everybody cares for everyone else, close friends all feel like family.” The Lodge at Summer Lake is located across from the Summer Lake Wildlife Refuge at 36980 Hwy 31 in Summer Lake.

Rounding up Talent By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner SUBMITTED PHOTO

Perhaps the farthest traveling band that will come through Lakeview is a jazz band called Cornet Chop Suey from St. Louis, Mo. The band signed on to perform in Lakeview October of 2016. Lakeview, located 100 miles from the nearest live music venue, is often left wanting for any outside entertainment. Luckily for those who appreciate music, Lake Arts Council (LAC) has done an extraordinary job in providing a variety and high-quality acts for the community throughout its many years of service. In the winter season alone, there has been an exciting piano player in Jason Farnham, a world-renowned violist in Jela Spitkova and a four-piece Irish bluegrass group in The Rusty String Express among others who have come through the county to spread their love of music. As successful as this season has been as of late, it wasn’t always this way. LAC was founded in the late 1970’s but really began in the early 1980’s according to current president, Bill Schrader, who moved into the area about that time. At that time, LAC was more focused on putting on events for Lake County children such as putting on art camps at Camp Cottonwood. In the mid-80’s Lake Community Concert Assn. was formed. This group was part of a larger regional organization that had ac-
cess to top-notch performers. It was financed through community memberships. During this time the LCCA teamed up with the LCA in obtaining a sizable grant to put in the Alger Theater a large stage This was so there would be a proper place for the acts who came through to perform. After about eight years the association decided to disband. By the mid-90’s, LAC decided to fill the void and began their community concert series in addition to their many art shows, etc. Performers from the University of Oregon would come on occasion in this era. Stan Wonderley, a Lakeview teacher who had his interest in educating the kids and was a co-founder of the LCCA, became president of LAC. Schrader gives Wonderley much credit in keeping the non-profit organization going. Schrader took over as president in 2013 having done much of the program’s publicity beforehand and has since turned it around to bring in and feature unique and talented acts. Schrader now helms the nine-person board that consists of Tule Chiono, Ann Murphy, Ellie Barry, Carrie Harris, Marti Stephenson, Deb Watts, Nikki Harris and Mike Warren. In keeping with the tradition that Wonderley began in his interest in educating young school students, Schrader always tries to work out with the musical acts who come through to stay an extra day to perform at AD Hay Elementary School and Paisley School. Schrader adds that some of the grants, like Western States Arts Federation, require that some kind of community outreach is done with those who are sponsored to perform. Although a small fee is required of each audience member in advance or at the door for every concert, Schrader assures the public that it is going to good use and that every bit of funding helps with the continuing funding of the art program. With each artist, LAC tries to keep him or her within the $2,500 to $3,000 price range. Included in this price is lodging, transportation and any other expense that the musicians have. This means that the LAC runs off of a budget of $15,000 per year for their performers’ needs to come into town for TALENT a few nights. See page 62

TALENT
From page 60
Lake County Examiner File Photo
The Rusty String Express of Oakland, Calif., brought their swanky country tunes to the First Presbyterian Church last February. By Schrader’s estimates, this is all worth the effort and money for the community. He said that in the past year the audience size has more than doubled over what they were
previously getting at every performance. If one is to attend a concert sponsored by LAC, he or she could tell that the efforts are worth the smiles and en-

joyment had by the audience members. After the concert by The Rusty String Express last February, Schrader told the band that he understands that the audience size isn’t as large as they have played for before. Their response was affirmative but also added that it was by far the most appreciative audience they played for. Schrader sees that not only is it fulfilling a cultural need for the community but also an economic one. When acts come through they use local restaurants, lodging and other needs, which only helps the economy. Schrader also reasons that it is financially sensible for Lakeview residents to come to a local concert rather than spend much more money to travel to a Ross Ragland Theater production in Klamath Falls for good live music. As for the future of LAC, Schrader remains optimistic in bringing in high-quality and varied talent to the community. He
is also looking into getting a respectable auditorium fitting for that talent by next winter season. The upcoming season is also receiving attention in planning and booking. For next season, Schrader has already signed St. Louis jazz band Cornet Chop Suey. He came across the band while attending the Southern Oregon Jazz Festival in Medford last October and was so impressed that he courageously contacted them and signed them to come this October when the band performs at the same festival. Coming up in the next season is returner Jason Farnham for a Christmas Concert, Men of Worth in February 2016 and even potentially bringing in a brass band from Mexico City, Mexico and a group from Nashville. When it comes to the LAC and the future, they are in perfect harmony. For more information about LAC, contact Schrader at 541-947-5113.

Hot Springs Presents Relaxation
JIMMY HALL/ Lake County Examiner
Duane Graham has put in much work into improving the land surrounding the hot springs to give visitors a comfortable and relaxing place to unwind. JIMMY HALL/ Lake County Examiner
The hub of the springs is this enclosed bath, which features rustic and downto-earth aesthetics. By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner Desolate and wide-open space is the scenery that allows Summer Lake Hot Springs visitors the ability to shut out their busy lives as they soak in the enriching mineral waters that the mini-resort has to offer. Duane Graham, owner and operator of the relaxing retreat, is the perfect keeper of the hot springs. His calm, laid back, sociable and unimposing personality makes for an approachable and hospitable host for the many visitors who come his way. Graham makes sure that their needs are taken care of without being intruding. Upon happenstance, Graham stumbled on the hot springs in 1988 on a road trip through eastern Oregon and immediately recognized the sacredness of the area. When the opportunity to purchase the land and operations came around from the McDaniels family in 1997, Graham had to pounce on it. The purchase of the 145 acres of his
view of paradise gave Graham the chance to transform the land to his liking. Graham took to his expertise in construction after realizing the operation’s potential to be something much more. As of his purchase those 18 years ago, the land now has eight dwellings that range from $90 to $200 per night. These homey structures are as cozy and as roomy as visitors’ liking and each have geothermal heated floors making waking up in the morning as comfortable as it can be. Each of the structures has a bedroom, kitchen and an attractive bathroom. For a cheaper but still fulfilling experience, RV sites and tenting camping spots are also available. Scenery and housing accommodations aside, what truly brings travelers from all over the state to the getaway are the many mineral hot springs. “It’s not about me or the cabins,” Graham explains, “People
travel great distances for the hot springs.” The water that is jampacked with cleansing minerals that come from a mile deep within the earth creates healing properties from artesian. “People come in to take in the hot water,” said Graham. Many believe that soaking in such hot spring waters can be therapy for several reasons. Founded around popular balneotherapy, or the treatment of disease by bathing, the practice is based around the common minerals that are found in these waters such as sodium, magnesium, calcium and iron, which are believed to be healing elements for a wide range of illnesses. Hostess of the springs, Elizabeth Rose, said that in her sport of roller derby she had avoided surgery of her shoulder by walking back and forth in their community pool. Though Graham doesn’t teach or en-
dorse these widely held beliefs, his stance is to “set the table for people to come,” he said. Those who visit to soak in these precious waters range from all over the world but have one characteristic in common: to escape from the busy world. Graham said that his mission is to “get people out of their skin and out of their lives.” The niche and need the small resort is filling is for people who come to heal and get out of their demanding lives. Graham said that his target customers are returning and even gaining more customers from the word-of-mouth marketing as well as from their website and Facebook page. “Most of our business is from out-of-towners from Portland and Bend. We have had some foreigners from Russia and Germany come through,”

HOT SPRINGS From page 64 said Graham. The facility’s main hub is their 15 by 30 bathhouse that is enclosed in a rustic building that was constructed in 1927 that partly was burnt down and rebuilt since then. Graham and his staff do all they can to keep the house away from the municipal pool mood to preserve the area’s relaxed reverence. Though children are welcome to partake in the pleasure, the mission of the pools is more for leisure than entertainment. “In America we are so used to the strip mall hotels,” said Graham, “My motivating force wasn’t to make money but to build a healing retreat.” Being just north of Paisley has many surrounding benefits for hobbies and entertainment. Just five miles southeast of the hot springs are the historic Paisley Caves that are renowned for its discovery of early human habitations. “A lot of people come in to take in nature,” said Graham as he listed off outdoor endeavors such as hiking, rock climbing, star gazing, and fishing up the Chewaucan River as only some pastimes visitors enjoy during their stay. The springs also serve as a beacon of tourism, which in turn brings more people into town to have a drink and a meal at Paisley’s Homestead restaurant and go shopping at the Paisley Mercantile. Though the minute getaway celebrates the slowing down and reflecting part of life, Graham and his staff have no intention of dawdling in improving the services that they provide. The two new structures and the organic garden are only a few of the enhancements that the grounds are undertaking.

Taking a natural earth-based approach to its looks, the outside pools make any vacationer feel like a real part of nature. Once barren, the Summer Lake Hot Springs now features many small night quarters that add to the relieving and isolation aspect of the experience.

Lake County’s Candy Man
JIMMY HALL/ Lake County Examiner
By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner Known as the “Candy Man,” Delbert Caswell can be found making his rounds in Lakeview and about the county handing out various bits of candy to local business employees and school children. “The way the stress in the world is today, it’s nice to see someone have a smile,” said Caswell explaining why his friendly gesture has stuck with him throughout the years. “I should send a bill to these companies for advertising,” Caswell chuckled saying that he doesn’t find too much joy in consuming of the sweet treats that he divvies out. Although Caswell is a wellfamiliar face in the county, he is
Whether it’s fun sized candy bars or bags of chips, Delbert Caswell enjoys making people smile wherever he goes. a move-in who was struck with Lake County admiration at an early age. He made his first trip to Plush in 1947 from his former hometown of Redding, Calif. while visiting his brother-in-law when he was six years old. One anecdote he enjoys sharing is from one of the last times he made the drive down to Redding as a kid when he was 14 years old. Caswell was behind the wheel with his sister, two of her kids and his younger brother when he got pulled over by police. The police kept them in holding all day long until a judge could see them. Because of his age and his over-willingness to drive, each
person in the car was fined $11, a hefty price to pay at the time. Caswell had the money at the time to pay, but wasn’t ready to give it up just yet. He eventually gave in to paying the fine after they were released and still has the receipt to this day that he proudly has framed. As a boy, Caswell was convinced by his brother-in-law to stay in Plush for the reason that the school needed a minimum of three students to stay open. Throughout his youthful years, he became a close confidant to Plush local, Jerry Eagan, who Caswell contributes to his charitable habits. Caswell would help Eagan
on his ranch and sheep camps, driving to and from them without a license. Although essentially illegal at the time, Caswell defends that the police were in good spirits with his driving since he stayed on his side of the road and generally obeyed the law unlike Eagan who had a fondness of driving in the middle. Eagan wasn’t the only one to show Caswell charity and good will in his time of growing up in the Oregon Outback. “I will always remember

CANDY MAN From page 68 going up to Hart Mountain in 1947 to 1950 and there was a fellow named Tom Jones who worked for the Flynn Family, and he gave me a $100 bill,” said Caswell, explaining the reasoning behind the hospitable act is that Jones didn’t have anywhere to spend it. “That was a lot of money at the time,” he added. Caswell bought essential work clothes with the money. This memory invokes the Lake County generosity that he attempts to pass on every day through his actions. In 1959, Eagan sold his ranch causing Caswell to find employment elsewhere. In due course Caswell found it at Dan Collins’ garage, which was located where Lakeview’s Les Schwab is now. For his first year he began as an apprentice, but after that he received $1.25 per hour for his labor. He worked there until being drafted into the Army in 1966. “They put me in an ammo office, reading school and typing school,” said Caswell, stressing that he had little education beforehand. “I passed most of the tests that most of the college lads didn’t pass.” Caswell’s service in the military included being a Jeep driver for a command-
After his service in 1968, he returned to Lakeview at the same garage as before. In 1981, he went to work for the local Post Office doing deliveries, maintenance and janitorial work. When his wife Marian was diagnosed with cancer in 2005, he retired from his Post Office duties to take care of her. When she passed away two years later, Caswell took over his late wife’s mail route that went to Plush and Adel. This has led him all over the county on the same roads that he fell in love with those many years ago making sure he has a tote containing the many kind of munchies from candies to potato chips to whomever he passes in his route. “It’s been a very good life,” said Caswell as he reflects on his time in Lake County and all the people he has encountered JIMMY HALL/ Lake County Examiner over the many years. “If you’re not satisfied As the residential glowing presence of the with what you’re doing you better look for county, Caswell makes sure to greet and something else.

Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night . . .
KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner
By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner
As the famous saying goes, neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from their swift completion of their appointed rounds. Nothing however in the U.S. Postal Service motto says anything about driving distance, the scourge of rural post offices in ensuring the mail gets through. For the past 11 years, Lakeview-based contract postal carrier Steve St. Clair has covered a 200-mile loop six days a week, driving from Lakeview to Silver Lake and back each day to deliver the mail. Even more impressive is that in all the years he has covered this route, he has never missed a day of work not once calling in sick or taking a single vacation day, a testament to St. Clair’s dedication to being the correspondence lifeline for Lake County’s communities. There are approximately 160 stops along St. Clair’s daily route, from residential and commercial mailboxes to also deliv-
Steve St. Clair leans out the passenger window to make one of roughly 160 deliveries he has made faithfully six times a week for the past 11 years, driving 200 miles to deliver the mail from Lakeview to Silver Lake. ering the full day’s deliveries to the Paisley, Summer Lake and Silver Lake post offices. He also drops off all of Christmas Valley’s mail, which is then delivered by another carrier. St. Clair’s route is one of several handled by contract drivers to cover Lake County’s communities. Delbert Caswell handles Adel and Plush deliveries, Pat Murphy covers the Westside and New Idaho, and a third driver from Alturas handles New Pine Creek and Davis Creek. In all there are about a dozen people based out of the Lakeview Post Office, with more operating satellite post offices scattered around the County, ensuring that every citizen gets their daily correspondence. It is through teamwork with the Klamath Falls Post Office that the daily task of deliveries is accomplished. Scott Teeter starts his day at 5:30 a.m., loading his truck with all of the Lake County mail and driving to Lakeview to unload for St. Clair
and the other carrier drivers. It is a constant race against the clock each day for St. Clair, from unloading the morning truck delivery inbound from Klamath Falls, sorting his deliveries, making the 200-mile round trip and picking up all outgoing mail from each of the northern Lake County post offices before returning in time to catch the outgoing truck back to Klamath Falls by 3:15 p.m. Amazingly, St. Clair says that only one single day was he ever unable to complete his route on time, due to the highway being shut down from overwhelming snow drifts, making it as far north as Paisley before being turned back. On one other occasion his truck broke down with a bad fuel pump, fortuitously doing so directly outside of the Summer Lake Post Office. Perhaps the most amazing aspect of St. Clair’s duties is the track record of his truck itself. As a contractor he is in charge of supplying his own vehicle rather
than a standard USPS vehicle, still operating the same truck he began the route with over a decade ago when he began as a relief driver on the route before being offered the full-time job. He logs around 60,000 miles a year, the truck exceeding 442,000 miles to date and still going strong. St. Clair says the secret to his vehicle’s remarkable durability is regular oil changes, having the procedure done every couple of weeks. “I’ll think about getting a new vehicle whenever I stop making payments on the old truck,” joked St. Clair. “Seems like it all goes towards taxes or truck payments.” While USPS vehicles are designed to be driven from the right seat for easy delivery to roadside boxes, St. Clair has become quite skilled at driving his truck from the passenger seat

as a workaround, which he says gets a lot of comical double takes from other drivers. Driving the exact same route day after day seems like it might get boring, but St. Clair insists he never grows tired of it. From the changing seasons to the endless amount of wildlife and scenic views, there is always something to keep him entertained, even with radio station options in short supply in this part of the country. “Out here I only have the choice of ESPN, NPR, Rush or local FM music stations, but those tend to fade pretty quick once I’m out on my route,” St. Clair said. “I wish I could put it on autopilot sometimes, but I never get tired of it. The highway sometimes provides its own entertainment, I never know what I’m going to see, whether it’s 15 Corvettes in a row headed to Reno or the crowd going to Burning Man.” Delivering in rural areas brings its own occasional oddities and burdens unlikely to be encountered by carriers at urban post offices. While the post office has weight and size re-
strictions, that hasn’t stopped some unusual items finding their way into the back of St. Clair’s truck, noting some of the more odd deliveries including a bee hive, chicks and ducklings and a person’s ashes. The clock is St. Clair’s biggest foe, any delays in the Klamath truck’s morning arrival forcing him to race to complete his route and return with all outgoing mail for the day in time. Often he has had people chase him down on the road when they weren’t quick enough in getting their outgoing mail to their box, but St. Clair takes it all in stride, stating that he sincerely appreciates all of his customer’s patience over the years. “I get to work with and deal with some very nice people,” said St. Clair. “I’ve always enjoyed my job.” Thanks to St. Clair and the other dedicated members of the U.S. Postal Service in Lake County, it won’t be rain nor sleet nor heat of day preventing the mail from getting through, only the occasional severe snow drift and fuel pump preventing the swift completion of their appointed rounds.

Glimpse into some Lake County History Lakeview was originally known as Bullard Creek, seen here in 1879, when it was first founded in 1876 on lands owned by M.W. Bullard, who promised to deed 20 acres of land to the county if it was chosen as a site for an official town. Bullard had first built a cabin in the area in 1871. In addition to the 20 acres, Bullard also sold 300 acres to J.A. Moon, who proposed to plat the townsite. The larger population in eastern Lake County wanted a county seat in their portion of the county over the west (now Klamath County), and with Bullard’s Creek founded and after several elections with unfair canvassing of votes, Lakeview was declared the county seat of Lake County by a vote of 242 to 181, with county records moved to the new town in 1876.

Lakeview’s fire department was quite proud to show off the new fire engine in 1887, having recently been acquired from the Chico, Calif. fire department. The engine was already 50-years-old by the time it arrived in Lakeview. The first recorded fire in Lakeview happened in 1880, burning the State Line Herald newspaper office and the brewery. The archaic fire engine was used extensively on May 22, 1900, when the great Lakeview fire began, shortly after the town first received a water system and electric lights.

Lakeview citizens packed the deck of The Lakeview ferry boat on its maiden voyage on Sept. 5, 1909 across Goose Lake. The Lakeview was not Lake County’s first ferry, but it exceeded its predecessor in almost every way, with a more powerful engine, lunch counter, room for cars and seating for 250 people. The Lakeview was built by the Oregon Valley Land Company as a means to bring prospective purchasers to the area for the large land sale coordinated by the company. After two years of use the Lakeview was docked and never again used, eventually being slowly dismantled piece-bypiece by residents.

Paiute-Snake Native American tribes occupied much of Lake County lands when trappers and explorers first began coming to the area in 1827. The Paiute tribe claimed the area west of the Warner Mountains as hunting grounds, living primarily around what is today the Summer Lake and Silver Lake area of Lake County, while further to the south a band of Paiutes lived between Sugar Hill and Warner Creek, moving to south of Bullard Canyon to live year round after settlers came in the 1870s. Many of these band members worked within the town of Lakeview as it grew, living peacefully side-by-side with white settlers.

Library Endowment Board Key to Growth
KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner
Library Dir. Amy Hutchinson and Jerald Steward, president of the Lake County Library Endowment Foundation, show off items donated for the foundation’s annual library banquet in 2014. KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner
By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner Construction of the Lake County Library’s main branch in Lakeview was a grand step forward in services provided to the county. It was the culmination of years of hard work, fundraising and long-term vision of dedicated residents to provide the community with the library services it deserved. Starting in the early 1990s, the Lake County Library Endowment Foundation was established by Orval Layton on the hope of properly funding the county’s library, then operated directly under the county’s budget and far too often subject to cuts in order to maintain other essential services. Back then the main library existed within the Lake County Courthouse. A space that may initially have properly housed the facilities, but as library services expanded beyond books to also include media and technology services, the area soon became overwhelmingly crowded. Through the work of Layton a board was established, the Lake County Endowment Foundation, commonly referred to as the Library Foundation, working to supplement the library’s budget for assistance wherever needed. Layton’s initial goal was to raise $100,000, a number that was scoffed at by residents, but through grit and determination that goal was reached and well
Lake County Library Endowment Foundation has worked tirelessly to provide adequate funding for Lake County’s library, ensuring proper services and resources are available to the community.
beyond. Through wise investments and the financial work of both Fran Allen and today’s board treasurer, Al Monaco, the fund has grown to over $400,000 in principle, with interest going towards funding requests to benefit all of Lake County’s libraries. The current board consists of Jerald Steward, president; Al Monaco, treasurer; Jim Hufstutter, secretary; Sally Fitzgerald, Virginia Stratton, Carol Parker and Library Dir. Amy Hutchinson acting as an advisor. Their purpose is to establish a resource of money for the financial support and enrichment of the Lake County Library, with funds primarily raised each year through the annual library endowment banquet, hosted the third Saturday of October. Each dinner features guest speakers, last year being C.J. Hadley, editor of Range Magazine, and previous guests including author Abigail Hawkins and Lee Julliart of the Klamath Falls Herald and News. In addition to the dinners, private donations have gone a long way towards providing the library’s needs. One such important donation came courtesy of Norma Gumser, who deeded her house upon her death to the foundation, the approximately $100,000 raised from the sale of her home being vital in the completion of the new library building after initial funding for the construction
ran short. To determine where to best utilize the funds, the board relies heavily on Hutchinson, who is in charge of not only the Lakeview library but satellite branches in Christmas Valley, Silver Lake and Paisley as well. Through Hutchinson’s recommendations the board helps fund not only the acquisition of books to be rotated through each branch, but small necessities as needed like furniture and equipment. Chief among future investments being considered is acoustic tiling or banners for the community meeting room at the main branch library to reduce the high-pitch reverberation that can occur as a result of the hard surfaces, to enhance the enjoyment of the multi-purpose room used for many community activities. “We don’t necessarily have grand future plans,” said Steward. “We just do what we can to supplement the library’s budget for what they can’t do with their funding to ensure that they have the resources needed.” While not seeking great praise, those involved in the endowment foundation past and present have played a vital role working side-by-side with library staff to ensure that Lake County continues to have the library services it deserves for years to come.

Brothers Key in Oregon Journalism
SUBMITTED PHOTO
Lake County Examiner, led by the Beach brothers in the 1880s and 1890s, prospered under their leadership to become the lead publication in Lake County. By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner Frank Beach and his four brothers weren’t the original founders of the Lake County Examiner, yet their profound efforts in Lakeview’s early days established print media in Lake County and beyond, forever changing American journalism in the process. Newspapers in the wild west were very different from today, often launched by citizens pushing political objectives or land sales. Such was the case when Judge C.B. Watson launched the State Line Herald in 1878, Lake County’s first newspaper, which took a strong Republican stance. After almost two years two local prominent Democrats had enough, Stephen P. Moss and Charles Cogswell launching in February, 1880 the Lake County Examiner as a direct response to the Herald. For a year the proverbial mud flew between the two rival papers, until 1881 when James H. Evans bought the Herald, and a year later acquired the Examiner, merging the two newspapers under the Examiner name. In the burgeoning communities of Lake County, Evans found difficulty making a profit, and soon left responsibilities in 1883 to the editor, Frank Coffin, who in turn quickly skipped town, subscription list in tow, leaving the fledgling newspaper’s future in doubt. To the rescue came the Beach Brothers. Iowa natives, Dr. Morgan Hart Beach and his wife had seven children, choosing to relocate from their home in Iowa to York, Neb., where Dr. Beach started a medical practice and drug store in the 1870s. The eldest of the five boys and two girls, Seneca Beach, moved for a time to Chicago to start a Sunday School publication, but returned to Nebraska when his brother Frank proposed the two purchase the local newspaper. Saving up money from farm work selling bushels of corn, Frank bought the local newspaper for $75, the brothers relocating it to Waco, Neb. and renamed it the Waco Weekly Star. As the Star prospered, soon the brothers chose to relocate shop again, this time to Stromsburg, Neb., to start the Stromsburg Republican. Meanwhile their father was enticed due to ill health to move to Oregon by an old military friend who ran a stage station at Nylax, between Fort Klamath and Klamath Falls, known then as Linkville. When Dr. Beach moved to Linkville in 1881 his son Frank followed, with plans to start a hotel.

Shortly after arrival a telegram appeared from Moss and Cogswell in Lakeview, hearing that a newspaper publisher had arrived in the area, asking him to take over operation of the defunct Lake County Examiner following Coffin’s sudden unexpected departure. For a year Frank ran the Examiner, building an all-new subscriber list from scratch. After a year Frank left Lakeview, the Examiner satisfactorily back on its feet, deciding to move to Portland to once again pursue his hotel dreams.

BEACH BROTHERS From page 80 stopping him in Linkville along the way, hearing that the intrepid newsman was leaving and insisting that he join them to launch a newspaper in Linkville. Harry Loos, publisher of the Yreka Union, and William Bowdoin convinced Frank to start the Klamath Star newspaper together, but soon left to leave Frank to do the work alone. Within a year another telegram arrived from Lakeview, Cogswell along with Fuller Snelling, the county clerk, pleading for his return to Lakeview to again run the Examiner, this time completely on his own terms. Frank agreed, if his brother Seneca would join him in Lakeview. Throughout the 1880s and 1890s Frank and Seneca prospered as proprietors of the Examiner under Beach & Beach Publishing, all five brothers eventually came to Lakeview. For two decades the Beach family led the Examiner, one by one each of the brothers moving away to pursue other opportunities in the newspaper industry, taking the lessons learned in Lakeview to help other newspapers grow. The last to leave was Alvin Beach, who sold his ownership of the newspaper in 1904. The Examiner was then well established as Lake County’s news source. While other newspapers would try to join the fray alongside the Examiner, all either merged with the Examiner or soon
ceased operations. Seneca Beach moved to Portland in 1894 to start a print shop and was elected to the Oregon State Legislature, where he served until 1909. He eventually relocated to California, becoming the secretary of the Printers Trade Division of the Merchants and Manufacturers Association of California. Martin Beach left the Examiner for an opportunity to work with the San Francisco News in the composing room, while Libbius Beach moved to Reno to also work in print. Frank left the Examiner in the good hands of his brothers in 1890. His odd travels growing newspapers wherever he went like Johnny Appleseed planting trees continued, first moving to Portland and then to California, launching new publications at each stop. With each new town Frank was begged to join the newspaper there, based on reputation as one of the finest newspaper men around thanks to his work in twice saving the Examiner. Eventually he returned to Portland in 1912 to start the Pacific Northwest Hotel News, and became secretary of the Oregon State Hotel Association. It had been a long winding road, but Frank lived out his days eventually combining his two loves, newspapers and the hotel business. Of course he was joined in the venture by one of his brothers, Alvin Beach who moved

Three of the five Beach brothers are shown here, along with an unidentified man, in the Lake County Examiner’s office in 1899. to Portland to once again work by his brother’s side. Over the years the Examiner has survived devastating fires, multiple mergers, address changes, management switches and setbacks, all the while continuing to publish every week since 1880. Without the Beach family’s guidance through those early years however, the Examiner and many other media outlets for whom the brothers helped prosper would be but minor footnotes in history.

Lake County’s Greatest Athlete By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner
Lake County has produced its share of prominent athletes, including Olympic medalists, world record-holders, NFL all-pros, national champions and hall of famers. Most impressive is that these all apply to one person, arguably Lake County’s greatest athlete, Ross Carter. A graduate of Lakeview High School in 1931, Roscoe Carter went on to play football at the University of Oregon and was drafted by the Chicago Cardinals, earning all-pro status in 1938. Then, following his retirement from a successful lumber business decades later, on a whim Carter decided to give track and field a try. This resulted in two decades of success that led to his induction in the USATF Masters Hall of Fame. Carter was born in Republic, Mo., on March 10, 1914, his parents eventually moving the family west in pursuit of work in the timber industry when Carter was starting high school. His arrival to Lakeview was apt timing, as in his sophomore year in 1928 Lakeview High School decided to field a football team for the first time, joining the Oregon Athletic Association. Most of the boys had never played football previously and in their inaugural season the team managed to only score one touchdown, but Carter stood out as a two-way lineman. Under Coach “Pop” Mauney, Carter blossomed as an athlete as the starting center for the basketball team, which reached the state basketball tournament for the first time in school history, as well as on the baseball field. While ferocious in athletics, Carter was timid in nature. Despite this he made his impression felt among fellow students, becoming sophomore class vice-president and senior class president. During his senior year in 1931 LHS added a new football coach, Lyle Ashcroft, while Mauney focused on adding yet another new sport, track and field. Carter gave the new sport a try, throwing shot put and discus, setting a new re-

Ross Carter played two years at the University of Oregon, earning a spot in the East-West All-Star Shrine Game and an invite to join Pop Warner’s all-stars to compete against the Detroit Lions in Hawaii in 1936. He went on to play four years in the NFL. cord at Alturas Field and winning events in Klamath Falls and Alturas, Calif., earning a spot to compete in the Oregon State tournament. Following graduation Carter
attended Southern Oregon University. He decided to try out for the SOU football team, and was welcomed aboard by Head Coach Howard Hobson. Hobson was a University of Oregon grad who had been a multi-sport star for the Ducks in the 1920s. In 1933 SOU football shined thanks largely to Hobson’s protégé, Carter growing in his abilities by leaps and bounds. However Hobson was lured back to Eugene to coach for the University of Oregon, Carter then decided to follow his coach to join the Ducks as well. It turned out Hobson wouldn’t coach football, but he would lead Oregon’s baseball and basketball teams to its glory days, including Oregon’s only NCAA basketball national championship in 1939. In two years of play at Oregon, Carter became the most feared opponent on the west coast. We was described as being tough as scrap iron by Coach Prink Callison and named to the all-opponent roster his senior year in seven of the nine games he played. He was team co-captain alongside fellow lineman Del Bjork from Astoria, the pair formed the most formidable duo in the trenches on the west coast. Following two successful seasons with Oregon, Carter played in the Jan. 1, 1936 Shrine All-Star Game, which earned him an invite to play on Glenn “Pop” Warner’s allstar team in Honolulu a month later against the NFL champion Detroit Lions, losing 30-6, but Carter was praised for GREAT ATHLETE his tough play.

GREAT ATHLETE From page 84 The NFL took notice, the Chicago Cardinals drafted him in the 8th round (69th overall). From 1936-1939 Carter started at center and guard for the Cardinals playing at Wrigley Field, battling each year against his former teammate Bjork, now a lineman for the crosstown rival Chicago Bears. Carter earned NFL all-pro status in 1938, but in 1939 he decided to leave the sport, returning to Oregon to marry his college sweetheart, Ruth Higginbotham. For the next 40 years Carter plunged into the business world with the same ferocity he once displayed in the football trenches, launching the successful StarrCarter lumber company. Two of his five sons would go onto compete at the UO in their father’s footsteps, Ross Jr. an offensive lineman in the 1960s and Jeff Carter competing in javelin in the 1970s. Following his retirement, it was his son Jeff that suggested he pick up a new hobby, trying track and field on the senior
circuit. By 1979 Carter was competing in discus and shot put once more. Soon Carter was traveling the world dominating all competitions, traveling to Rome, Melbourne, Finland and more for the Master’s World Games and Senior Olympics. For the next two decades Carter was an unstoppable throwing force, continuing well into his 80’s, setting six world records in his age division; four outdoors and two indoors. In 1994 at the age of 80, Carter was named the nation’s most outstanding track and field athlete by the Master’s Committee of USA Track & Field, the oldest athlete to ever receive the award. As a football player Carter was inducted into the SOU and University of Oregon Hall of Fame and named to the Oregon all-time football team. As a track and field athlete, he was a national champion, earned gold medals, was inducted into the USATF Hall of Fame and set numerous world records, three of which still stand to this day. Picking up a new sport 40 years after he had ended his football career, Carter became an inspiration, known globally for his athletic exploits. Carter died on June 19, 2002, continuing to compete up until his dying days.

Lake County Round-Up Ties to PRCA Raises Competition KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner
PRCA saddle bronc rider Casey Coleman gets more than what he bargains for in the 2014 Lake County Round-Up competition, getting bucked head over heels. By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner Lake County Round-Up will hold its 96th year of competition this August, a staple of the community held Labor Day weekend, a long-standing testament to the region’s great ranching traditions. Thanks to a partnership established last year with the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) the competition at the annual event is stronger than ever, ensuring a bright future for the event to match its storied past. While Lakeview is often considered off the beaten path, being a PRCA-sanctioned event raises the annual event held at the Lake County Fairgrounds to joining the big leagues, drawing in the top professional rodeo competitors in the world to Lake County. For once the geographic remoteness serves as a great benefit, as Lake County’s location provides a unique opportunity in qualifying for sanctioning of three different regional circuits, allowing affiliation with
the Columbia River Circuit, California Circuit and Wilderness Circuit for Nevada. This results in an added draw because professional cowboys can compete for each of their circuit’s standing, with some then going on to the national finals in Las Vegas depending on their place in the overall standings. It’s not just an increase in the numbers and level of competition as a result of PRCA affiliation, with increased competition comes added stakes. The cash prizes will be increased from year’s past, thanks largely to tremendous support from local corporate sponsors. Also the ante is upped with a higher quality of horses and bulls for the event adding to the overall quality of rodeo performances to be on display. “It came to a point where we had been a sleeper rodeo for a long time. We have a great atmosphere and it was time to make the step forward,” said
Clark Maxwell, 2014 Round-Up president, the first year of PRCA affiliation. The president’s job, along with the Round-Up Court Queen and princesses, is tasked with a vast array of promotional duties in the lead-up to the event, traveling to other rodeos and events around the state to spread the word of Lake County’s greatest annual tradition. In 2014 the two-day event proved such a big draw that an additional slack performance was required, comprised of overflow competitors from the main events, which was held on the morning of Monday, Sept. 1 prior to the Labor Day parade. “The whole rodeo was a lot more professional; it was a faster, well-run show and the caliber of animals and athletes were better,” said Maxwell, who gave up his seat as Round-Up President in 2015 to James Price. “It was very well received by the community and the cowboys. We got good reviews from the PRCA judges. They liked how the com-
munity was behind the event and how well the show went overall.” While the Round-Up has long been an iconic centerpiece of life in Lake County, last year’s events under PRCA-sanctioning had a more grandiose feel. The stands were packed to take in the action of the best pro rodeo cowboys around, including one familiar face, Lakeview resident Shawn Greenfield. As a PRCA pro rodeo cowboy, Greenfield had not been previously permitted to perform in the Round-Up’s competitions, a professional steer wrestler on the PRCA circuit since 1997. While he didn’t win his event, the uproarious welcome Greenfield received prior to his run made for one of the most memorable moments of the entire weekend. The rodeo’s success has already had a notable effect going

forward. The turnout of hopeful local teens who will compete for Round-Up Court royalty, has greatly increased in 2015 resulting from the added exposure brought to the event by the PRCA. Plans are already underway to make the 2015 edition of the Round-Up even bigger, with added events and more money at stake. “This year we’re adding two additional events, women’s barrel racing and steer roping,” said Maxwell. “We’re adding more money as well. So we’ll have a lengthier show and will bring in more contestants, and the added cash will be an even larger draw.” According to Maxwell, one reason for the initial success and bright future of the PRCA-affiliated Round-Up is the quality of animals, garnering a reputation for being some of the best saddle broncs and cattle around. The stock contractor is the 4-Star Rodeo. “We have really good stock here, the cowboys know that and they want to come here to compete,” added Maxwell. Of course the rodeo is just the main course of an entire series of events coordinated for the Labor Day weekend drawing huge crowds. From the annual parade to concerts, parties, the annual destruction derby and the Lake County Fair, the fairgrounds become a whirlwind of activity at the end of August each year, boosted one notch higher with the raised level of competition through the PRCA. This year’s Fair runs Thursday, Sept. 3 through Monday, Sept. 7.

Moody’s hand got stuck in the saddle, creating the Round-Up’s scariest moments as he was dragged around the ring by the horse for nearly a minute until he could be freed, thankfully unharmed.

Sycan Store
Offers Wide Variety for Bly
KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner
Bill and Sharon Essig own and operate the Sycan Store in Bly, the halfway point between Klamath Falls and Lakeview on Hwy 140.
By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner Operating a market in a small community along the highway brings with it certain challenges and demand from both local residents and weary road travelers, but for Bill and Sharon Essig, owners of the Sycan Store in Bly, they take it all in stride. The store was originally built in 1945, resting on Hwy 140 as it curves through the roughly 500-person community of Bly, the halfway point between Klamath Falls and Lakeview. The Essig’s bought the store about six years ago. In a community with few businesses but right on a major traffic artery in southern Oregon, Sycan Store maintains a certain hybrid-business status; part grocery store, diner, gift shop, informational kiosk and social hall. The store maintains a solid supply of groceries, liquor and wine, Bly-related trinkets and a place to sit and enjoy a newspaper or magazine. Wednesday through Sunday they have a cook prepare pastries, sandwiches and burritos. “I get a lot of people passing through asking about distance to go, I always tell them in time, it’s an hour this way or that,” said Bill Essig of the many highway travelers perusing his shop each day. Bill opens the Sycan Store each day before the sun rises, start-
ing business at 5 a.m. and staying open until ‘late.’ Opening so early does provide the occasional respite for highway travelers who fail to plan ahead. “The gas station doesn’t open until 6 a.m., so sometimes we get people come in who didn’t gas up in Klamath or Lakeview and have to wait for the station to open,” said Essig. Being a primary provider of goods for the community and snack shack for road travelers brings with it a need to keep a sharp eye on supplies. The Essig’s keep a solid stock of beer, have a supplier providing a very nice assortment of fine wines, snacks and at the counter they carry items adorned with the Bly name or other items more akin to an antique shop than a grocery store. “Most people will do their shopping in Klamath or Lakeview, this is for fill-in items and we look at it from that standpoint,” said Essig. “Our inventory changes all the time, we do order a lot of the same things every week. If someone just needs a gallon of milk though there’s no sense in driving an hour there and back to save 15 cents and spending $25 on gas.” The Sycan Store also does it part to help out in the community, providing gift baskets during Thanksgiving and Christmas. They occasionally sponsor events and 4-H activities as well. The Sycan Store is located at 61278 Hwy 140 in Bly.

When Hollywood Came Calling
Lake County Examiner Archive File Photo
Movie scene at Fort Rock where the saga of the Old Oregon Trail, “The Way West” ia being filmed. The camera is photographing action inside the circle of covered wagons. By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner From the earliest days of film, Oregon’s pristine scenery has drawn filmmakers to its beautiful backdrops that simply can’t be duplicated on Hollywood soundstages. Among the films shot in scenic Lake County, none are more recognized or had as profound of an impact as that of “The Way West”, filmed in part in Christmas Valley and Fort Rock in 1966. From Buster Keaton’s early silent-era epic “The General” to the first student film in history, “Ed’s Coed” in 1928 (made by University of Oregon students) to the 2014 Academy Award winning film “Wild”, Oregon has been a mainstay for film, on occasion even Lake County drawing Hollywood’s eye. For the production of “The Way West” things felt different, the sheer scale of the film making it impossible to ignore in the small north Lake County communities suddenly inundated with Hollywood stars and crews. The film, released in 1967 to rave reviews, was based on a Pulitzer Prize winning novel by A.B. Guthrie, Jr., telling the story of a U.S. senator leaving his home in Missouri in 1843 to lead a wagon train to Oregon. The film starred Kirk Douglas as U.S. Sen. William Tadlock, with Robert Mitchum co-starring as the guide Dick Summers. The film also featured a very young Sally Field, making her big screen debut after gaining notoriety as Gidget on the television show of the same name. The production of the film began in Eugene for town scenes intended to capture 19th century Independence, Mo., and depictions
of crossing the Missouri River were shot in Bend. An old fort that had previously been used for the filming of the movie “Bend in the River,” found a second life in movies, depicting Fort Hall. Most of the production however was done in the Christmas Valley Sand Dunes for shots of the long wagon train making its way west, and a climactic battle scene against Native Americans taking place at Fort Rock. Facilitating a full film crew and cast in Christmas Valley and Fort Rock proved a daunting task. Every bed available in Silver Lake and the Christmas Valley Retirement Center were utilized to house cast members while much of the production crew stayed in La Pine and Bend, being shuttled down for each day’s filming. The production work in Lake County continued through much of July and August, 1966, using a helicopter for aerial shots of the large wagon train traversing the dunes and circling near Fort Rock, which was supposed to represent Independence Rock in Wyoming. As many as 200 Warm Springs Native American tribe members acted as extras in the film for battle scenes, for the purposes of storytelling standing in as representatives of the Sioux nation. The production wrapped up in Burns in late August with shots of the wagon train encountering buffalo. Thirty oxen were brought all the way from New England to pull the 15 covered wagons used. The film’s producer, Harold Hecht, proved a very patient soul during filming in Lake County, as gawking locals disrupted many scenes from background talking upon visiting the sets, or dust HOLLYWOOD kicked up from cars and tractors See page 98 ruining shots.

HOLLYWOOD From page 96 A few local residents actually helped out in the production, including Fort Rock-based R.A. Long, who was a horse wrangler for the film. For as memorable as Hollywood’s sudden landing in Lake County was though, the most unforgettable moment of the production for the community was Mitchum’s surprise appearance at the Christmas Valley Lodge. The actor’s sudden appearance resulted in screams of joy and shock as he presented trophies to rodeo queens Sandy Dollarhide and Linda Kittredge after the pair had tied in competition during the July Christmas Valley Rodeo. The film, which cost roughly $6 million dollars to create, was released to theaters on May 24, 1967 and deemed a hit with audiences for its grandiose cinematography capturing the vast openness of Oregon’s Outback. The film also became notable for being the first big-budget western film since 1930’s “The Big Trail” to show pioneers lowering a wagon train over a cliff with a rope. Whether Hollywood ever comes calling on the grand scale of the 1966 production is yet to be seen, but for those who experienced the two months of filming in Lake County or the night Hollywood came calling for two young rodeo queens, it was an experience never to be forgotten.

The film cast and crew of “The Way West” pause for lunch in the Christmas Valley Sand Dunes in 1966. The film, which was shot in part around Christmas Valley and Fort Rock, starred Kirk Douglas and Robert Mitchum.
Hollywood star Robert Mitchum shocked all in attendance when he showed up at the Christmas Valley Lodge in 1966 to present Sandy Dollarhide and Linda Kittredge with trophies for being named the Christmas Valley Rodeo Queens.

Hiking and Biking Opportunities Abundant By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner
With its curves, varied intensities and beautiful scenery, Lake County affords much biking recreation around the area.
Endless would be an accurate word to describe the hiking and biking prospects that Lake County affords to local residents and those who visit the region to enjoy its lush landscapes and trails. Chris Bishop, outdoor recreation planner for Lakeview’s BLM office, said that the opportunities are copious but many are dispersed over the more than 8,000 square miles of land within the county. The BLM’s Lakeview Resource Area has jurisdiction over 5,000 square miles of lands within the county, but has few constructed trails. Designated trails, as explained by Bishop, are the trails that maximize user experience, avoid sensitive resources, are purpose built and officially recognized and approved by the agency. Designated trails are also approved through a Travel Management process and receive periodic maintenance as needed or as funds allow. According to Bishop, due to the upcoming Travel Management process, soon to be undertaken by the Lakeview Resource Area, now is a great time for the public to bring forth recommendations for desired hiking, biking, equestrian and motorized trails on BLM lands.
Of these designated trails, located in Lake County and maintained by the BLM, several offer exceptional hiking opportunities. Birding enthusiasts should visit the Hart Bar Interpretive Site (located approximately five miles northeast of Plush) for a 1.5 mile round trip hike to a viewing shelter. While in the area also visit the Warner Valley Canoe Trail (approximately 15 miles north of Hart Bar). At about 10 miles long, it presents a great opportunity to explore the wetlands. On the less-fortunate side, it requires a significant amount of rainfall to utilize it, which comes about three times every ten years and takes about a month to recede, making the time window of opportunity small. Geology fans ought to travel to Crack-in-the-Ground (located approximately seven miles north of Christmas Valley) for a two mile round trip scramble through a 70-foot deep fissure. And for those looking for the cool waters of bubbling brook, visit Buck Creek Watchable Wildlife Site (approximately three miles west of Silver Lake) for a short 1/4 mile out and back family friendly hike. For the more avid hikers who desire an off the beaten path feeling of secluded ar-
eas, nature and self-reliance there are many other possibilities that the BLM has to offer including amazing vistas while hiking along Abert or Fish Creek Rim. Another great place in southern Lake County is Orejana Canyon with a continuous, three-mile long line of 200-foot high reddish-brown cliffs. In the northern part of the county, there are incredible lava beds that boggle the mind including Devil’s Garden, Squaw Ridge and Four Craters. Stunning formations include cinder cones, blow holes and kipukas, which are essentially islands within a sea of lava flows. With abundant vegetation, they create a sharp visual contrast against the dark black lava and provide habitat for animals in an otherwise inhospitable environment. Apart from the BLM, Bishop believes the crown jewel of trails in Lake County is the Fremont National Recreation Trail, or the Southern Oregon Intertie Trail, managed by the U.S. Forest Service.

OUTDOOR RECREATION From page 100 runs from Yamsay Mountain to the North Warner Mountains where it connects with the Crane Mountain National Recreation Trail and continues south to the California Border and beyond. This trail offers phenomenal opportunities for both hiking and mountain biking. Bishop suggests contacting your local Forest Service office for more information. Bishop notes the Bullard Canyon Trail behind the town of Lakeview is also a wonderful hiking and biking option. As for biking trails, the BLM has nearly 5,000 miles of existing routes available with varying degrees of difficulty. Bishop explains that everything from nice gravel roads to extremely primitive two-track roads are all open to biking. As of now, there are no officially designated mountain biking trails on BLM lands, but he is hopeful to work with local enthusiasts to construct purpose-built mountain bike trails in the near future. Lake County is also known for its Tour de Outback century road cycling event held every August. Bishop is also
currently working on a proposal to designate an Oregon Scenic Bikeway through the State of Oregon’s Park and Recreation Department. If designated, the Warner Pass Oregon Outback Scenic Bikeway will greatly change the visibility of cycling in Lake County and Southeastern Oregon as it will be the only Bikeway in the region. The Bikeway will connect the communities of Lakeview, Plush and Adel and will showcase eastside Oregon forests and the Great Basin desert fringe ecosystems split by the Warner Mountains between the Goose Lake and Warner valleys. As well, this route provides riders with chances to learn about the region’s forest and desert resources, ancient cultures and rich ranching history. Being in a state where biking is becoming an inherent part of the culture in many places, the designation of the route will bring much needed tourism opportunities. Whatever your passion is regarding hiking, biking and even equestrian endeavors, Lake County is rarely, if ever, congested making it a great place to enjoy the outdoors recreationally.
