From Golf to Volunteer JIMMY HALL/ Lake County Examiner

By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner

From keeping golf available to Lakeview sportsmen to putting forward efforts for downtown and local charitable organizations, Ann Logan is happy to do her part.

Though not a life-long resident of Lake County, Ann Logan has taken it upon herself a responsibility of keeping Lakeview and its economy afloat through her various endeavors of volunteerism. Logan was born and raised in Siltze on the Oregon coast, where she met her husband Frank. They married after Frank returned from military service, fighting in Vietnam. Upon returning, they lived in Germany after being stationed there and then made Longview, Wash. their home to raise a family. Frank got his expertise of running an efficient course at Mint Valley golf course, where he helped build the course, before moving to take over the operations at Lakeridge Golf Course. Frank and Ann handle all its maintenance, watering greens and fairways, while presenting a hospitable sports environment for their visitors. Ann’s volunteering attitude began years ago but only bloomed when she moved to Lakeview. She remembered that her sense of volunteerism came from her parents, who were avidly involved with the school board, 4-H leadership, Republican committee, Newport Seafood Festival and American Association of University Women (AAUW), just to name a few. Upon moving to Lakeview just 14 years ago, Ann was invited to be a part of Soroptimist by her friends Judy Graham and Ann Tracy. “I said sure! I’d like to get involved,” she remembered. Logan held the responsibility of president for Lakeview’s Soroptimist chapter for two years, before that she was vice-president, and served as a chairperson for just about every committee. “I like to be involved and help,” she said.

Lakeview’s Soroptimist organization focuses on the needs of girls and women, contributing funds to the Rotary Club soccer field, Sunshine Center, the Lakeview community pool, local Girl Scouts and sending girl high school students to Girls State. “Whatever we can do for them we do,” she said. While in Soroptimist, Logan began holding its Oktoberfest event at the Lake County Fairgrounds every September starting in 2014. At two years strong, the weekend event gives a good activity for young and old, enjoying the beginning of the autumn season with German food, music and local shopping opportunities. Since coming into her volunteer duties, she also has been a strong member of the recently formed Lakeview Community Partnership (LCP) organization, which aims to revitalize the downtown economy. “What got me involved in LCP is that we went to the first recruitment meeting, listened and knew that I had a financial investment in the community,” she said. “I listened to people and thought if no one was going to step up, this is going nowhere. Even though we are three miles out of Lakeview, if downtown businesses don’t survive neither do we.” Logan recalled that she has seen a change in Lakeview, where at first there were more positive vibes around the community, but saw that over the years it has turned more negative. With her efforts in LCP, she hopes to reverse the mentality. “We want to bring people here and see that it is a nice community, it VOLUNTEER looks nice and we have things to offer,” See page 6

VOLUNTEER From page 4 she said. “Whether they come for a vacation or to retire, we have to put our best foot forward.” As LCP Promotion Committee chair, Ann has found different ways to get the community involved while endorsing local commerce. “I’ve always been able to promote,” she said. The first committee she eyed was Design, but saw the vacancy in the Promotion Committee so she volunteered for it. “We had to come up with something that was different,” she said. When she talked with Oregon Main Street’s Sheri Stuart they came up with the idea of the “cash mob,” and then sparked an idea for the “Festival of Trees.” The latter effort came about when she was in a Soroptimist meeting where Lake Health District CEO Charlie Tveit spoke about employee recruitment. During his speech, Tveit drew attention to how hard it is to get spouses to move into the area since one was bound to be detracted from it. This prompted Logan to send a letter to all major employers in Lakeview, soliciting a donated tree to help Lakeview’s downtown commerce. “Sure enough, they all donated a tree. We already have 18 trees for next year!” In the works for her committee is a Beef and Brews event in conjunction with June’s Dr. Daly Days. They will have a temporary Daly museum, a contest for restaurants to propose their signature Dr. Daly burger and a walking tour of Lakeview. To fulfill the “Brews” mention of the name, there will be a microbrew tasting at different establishments. This year, Dr. Daly Days will take place on Saturday, June 18 with this new expansion to pay honor to Lake County’s forefather. Logan looks at her full-time job of managing Lakeridge Golf Course as a community benefit. “I think it’s important to keep the golf course,” she said. “It’s an asset, just like the Warner Mountain

Ski Hill or Lakeview Lanes bowling alley. If one of those goes away, it’s just one more thing that won’t draw someone here.” Her long-term goal is to see downtown Lakeview come alive again, she said. “Once we have a draw we will prosper also,” she said. “They say it takes a village to raise a child. Well, it takes a village to keep your community together.”

Helping Lake County Schools Succeed By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner They are the somewhat anonymous support structure that helps Lake County schools stay afloat, despite their best efforts to be a known entity. The Lake County Education Service District (ESD) is a collective of board members and support staff providing supplementary assistance to every school district in the county, from staff to equipment to funding for events and even office supplies. The ESD helps make possible all the special opportunities made available to students. Each county has its own ESD providing base services while working with districts for special requests and areas of need variant on its situation. Flat-funding is provided annually at the state level for ESD’s to budget to get the most bang for their buck, a problem in recent years for the smallest ESD’s as that funding amount had remained a stagnant one million dollars prior to the current school year, it’s monetary value steadily decreased through inflation making it difficult to maintain services. A total of 19 ESD’s exist across Oregon, the largest in scale and population not surprisingly encompassing the Willamette Valley. Whereas the largest ones may have over

100,000 students, Lake County’s supports an area consisting of less than 2,000. Even so, with money tight budgets are stretched to their limits, until the state legislature in 2015 approved an increase of approximately $100,000 for the smallest ESD’s, the total sum of ESD’s attributed to only 4.5 percent of the state school fund. Helping to determine where best to distribute those dollars is the task of seven board members comprising specific school districts as well as at-large positions. The board includes Dale Chiono for Paisley School District, Clayton Sharpe for the North Lake District, Jim Hiatt with Adel School, Stefani Roseberry, who also serves as chairperson of the LCSD#7 Lakeview School Board, as well as Vicky Taylor, John Griffin and Jeanette Grant. Each act as unofficial liaisons for respective districts to report any areas of need and ways the ESD can assist. Also involved is ESD Supt. Bob Nash and a team of support staff handling accounting and business management. They are tasked with assisting school districts in achieving Oregon’s educational goals by providing equitable educational opportunities. While districts do have the option to opt out of ESD support, none in Lake County have done so, their ancillary services proving invaluable to each school’s success. The primary area of focus for the ESD

is special education support. They help to fund salaries for special education instructors, speech language pathologists, school psychologists, early childhood special education and autism support. With a high demand for experts in these fields, ESD support is vital in attracting staff to serve in these roles at Lake County schools, finding employees to fill these roles compounded by Lake County’s geographic remoteness. Additionally, the ESD provides a copy center and houses the Lake County Youth Mentor Program, which while funded through grants rather than the ESD still maintains a close relationship with ESD operations acting as a supplementary service to help students throughout Lake County. Teacher mentoring is also a big area of focus, while the ESD provides GED testing, private print jobs, and counselors and have begun special kindergarten preparation events where kids and parents alike can get a jump start on skills expected when they make the leap from preschool to grade school. “We pride ourselves on responding to our greatest needs at districts,” said Nash. “There’s a shortage of teachers in general, especially specialists such as speech, and goSCHOOLS SUCCEED ing to all-day kinSee page 10 dergarten next

SCHOOLS SUCCEED From page 8 year only adds to the need. We are a very traditional ESD, but our innovation is in trying to attract the best people possible to the area for the places where our districts are in the most need.” The funding increase will go a long ways towards supplying those needs to districts, with the 2016-17 local service plan offering expanded staffing in early intervention for at-risk youth, speech/language services and counseling among other areas of need. According to Nash, after years of status quo funding, had there not been the increase it would have become difficult to continue support to each district in its present state. The state mandates four areas of service for ESD’s. These are special education, instruction and curriculum support, technology support and administrative support. The amount of focus each of these gets varies among ESD’s, but the Lake County ESD is quite versatile, providing administrative support for Plush and Adel schools, grant writing, coordinating home school-

ing, providing teacher evaluation and acting as the county attendance officer to assure that students are consistently attending classes. With so many different roles it is a wider scope of community service that the ESD oversees beyond just the schools. As such, they make great efforts to interact with community supporters through surveys and other methods to acquire feedback for the work being conducted. Still, at the heart of it all is the people involved, from the board members to the ESD staff that quietly behind the scenes assures that Lake County schools operate at their absolute best. To gain a sense of the dedication to serving schools past and present through the ESD look no further than Ann Sprague Moorehouse, who served as ESD superintendent for an astounding 33 years. “The people are what make our ESD successful,” said Nash. “We have a fabulous staff.” For more information about the Lake County ESD call 541-9473371 or visit www.lakeesd.k12.or.us.

A Lifetime of Entertainment - One Quarter at a Time By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner

For over 50 years Perry and Joyce Collins have been behindthe-scenes providing a lifetime of entertainment to kids in Lake County as the lone arcade game vendors in the area, but that era is drawing to a close. Facing health problems and the realities of retirement, much of their collection of games accumulated over decades of providing entertainment at pizza joints, bowling alleys and bars was recently bought and shipped to Portland to be given a second life at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo. It was in 1963 when Perry and Joyce Collins decided to enter the vending machine business, supplying local sawmills with soda machines and candy. For a brief time they dabbled in cigarette machines, but as devout Mormons Perry chose to give that up as it conflicted with their religious beliefs. It was their neighbor, Tommy Reed, who owned several pinball machines that inspired Perry to enter the gaming industry. The family invested nearly every cent to their name, $21,000, more than a year’s wages at the time, to purchase Reed’s machines. Within six months the machines were completely paid off, and the Collins family became the resident experts of the flourishing video game market. While receiving no formal training in repair, Collins soon became an expert in maintenance of pinball machines, unable to read a schematic but quite efficient in the ability to tinker on machines to learn how they function. In the 1970’s when the first commercial arcade game, Pong, came on the market, the Collins’ acquired a machine and raked in the quarters from eager crowds waiting to try their hand at it. As new arcade games were released Perry acquired more machines, stocking them in pool halls and eateries throughout Lake County. During the arcade boom of the early 1980s times were busy for the family, machines overflowing with quarters requiring daily maintenance, some no longer functioning until Perry arrived to find the machines choked with quarters. “Any machine I put in made a lot of money,” said Perry. “Every time we got a new one the kids would line up and hold competitions.” One quarter at a time the Collins family thrived, their kids actively involved in counting the bounty of quarters each night to be deposited at the bank. Quarters paid for college, paid for the family home, and paid for the purchase of new arcade machines, which Perry would buy in Portland and drive back to Lakeview. When a machine broke, its parts would be strewn across the family living room, Collins fumbling with parts or taking pieces from other machines to get one to work. When a machine was beyond all repair it would be moved to a storage unit, where Perry often gutted them for parts then burned the cabinets.

KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner

Perry Collins, l-r, Chuck Van Pelt and Toby WIckwire load a 1984 tabletop Track and Field arcade game. The game, which is still functional, has been sitting in Collins’ home for years, but will be on display this year at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo.

However, times changed. As arcade technology advanced soon home consoles caught up with arcade machines, kids lost interest in arcades when they had video game consoles at home. Whereas before machines had to be emptied once a day, it was then once a week when they would make the rounds to collect. As the years took their toll and broken machines accumulated, eventually there came a point where Perry and Joyce realized perhaps it was time to get out of the business, but what to do with the old machines that had provided decades of entertainment? Thankfully last year a solution emerged. Unbeknownst to Perry and Joyce, they were sitting on a gold mine of classic gaming nostalgia, and many of the kids who had grown up playing games in the 1980s were now devoted to restoring and preserving the classic era of gaming. An emergent retro-gaming scene has taken the country by storm, people collecting vintage video games and reveling in the sub-culture. Conventions are now held around the world celebrating classic video games, and one of the largest just happens to take place in Oregon each year drawing on average over 10,000 people -- the Portland Retro Gaming Expo. Chuck Van Pelt and Toby Wickwire, two of the organizers of the Portland Retro Gaming Expo, were contacted in November, 2015 after advice was sought from several experts in classic video games about who could take on the Collins’ collection. On March 13 Van Pelt and Wickwire rented a truck and embarked on a nearly 24-hour roadtrip traveling from Portland to Lakeview and back to collect the arcade machines, most of which no longer function, to restore them back to working order for display at the 2016 Expo. In all 13 arcade machines were acquired for parts, from classic titles like Galaga, Pacman and Defender to more obscure names like Mag Max and Tokio. For Van Pelt and Wickwire it was a labor of love, discovering a long lost treasure trove of gaming nostalgia far off the beaten path. “I’m glad that these machines GAMING stayed in Lake County,” said Wickwire See page 14 after enjoying a few games on Collins’

GAMING From page 12 remaining functioning arcade cabinets at Pizza Villa in Lakeview. “Through slightly different circumstances these games could have gone away at any time. I’m happy that we’ll be able to put these machines back together and get them into our show.” Partners with Ground Kontrol, a large Portland-based video arcade and bar that hosts hundreds of classic machines and refurbish broken ones, Van Pelt and Wickwire will spend months refurbishing Collins’ old machines back into working order for a public eager to recall playing the games of their youth. For Van Pelt in particular he gets the most joy out of repairing the machines, following in Perry’s footsteps of finding any means necessary to get the machines back out there for people to enjoy. A resurgence of retro gaming has been aided by popular culture, with movies like Wreck-It Ralph and Pixels and books like “Ready Player One” drawing attention back to classic game characters and the simple joys of the arcade. “There are now new games made in a retro style, homebrews we call them, which shows the popularity of this era of gaming,” said Van Pelt. “It’s become more mainstream, more kids are now into retro games along with their parents. This is an industry created out of nothing that became a billion-dollar industry, it’s important to remember those roots and experience it.” While Perry and Joyce still operate a couple of arcade machines and pool tables, the era of arcades in Lake County is now largely over. While a little sad to see a lifetime’s work leave, they are glad that their hard work will now be appreciated by an all-new audience. “It’s a huge relief,” said Joyce Collins. “We never would have been able to maintain them.”

Tnet Expands Service and Internet Strength By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner

Tnet Broadband Internet began in 2005 as a necessity for founder Tommy Dodd, then-owner of KORV radio in Lakeview. Dodd, who had previously operated businesses in Texas, needed internet services for his radio station, and soon realized an opportunity to provide a service in Lake County. “I was going to buy Goose Lake because the internet out here was lousy, but then they sold it to somebody else after I had already bought new equipment and the building,” said Dodd. “So I figured, why not just start my own business?” Back then it was dial-up 56k modem service, but as broadband internet technology has expanded so too has Tnet’s ability to provide fast, reliable internet service to rural areas of Lake County. Dodd wasn’t alone in this venture. Goose Lake Computing and Centurylink also provided dial-up service, but what has set Tnet apart is its efforts in customer service, striving to get any issues fixed within 24 hours rain or shine. Today there are four partners in the business. In addition to Dodd, techs Alex Reynolds and Kenny Angelozzi keep equipment in working order while Viviana Reynolds coordinates it all from an office management position. The quartet work in synch, sharing ownership of the business and a 24/7 mentality that when something goes awry they will do all they can to communicate and correct it as quickly as possible. Tnet prides itself for on-site service calls for home and business, including weekends, while also providing basic computer repairs and even some hardware computer components and office supplies. Other services include Wi-Fi extender switches, routers and random accessories, while they will also happily assist customers in ordering stock of specific acSUBMITTED PHOTO cessories needed to complete a job.

receiver in Paisley. With that connection now servicing Paisley School and residents with broadband internet for the first time, the next step they plan is to further expand to Summer Lake, Plush and Adel while also moving south into California for Davis Creek and Likely. Already Tnet offers broadband in Alturas, Calif., where they service clients while also acting as a fiber backup if the Klamath Falls line goes down. The Paisley connection took a year to establish, piggybacking with Oregon Public Broadcasting for satellite connections on-site. Work to improve the Paisley connection will take place this summer, hoping to essentially make it maintenancefree. Maintenance is only one aspect of the operation though, as Tnet strides to expand its broadband signal providing faster connectivity to business and residential clientele. April marked a big change for Tnet, switching from Hunters to Centurylink in fiberoptic-connection, utilizing a line out of Klamath Falls to boost its signal to a 10 GB fiber line. Through the new line Tnet will continue offering different tiers of internet service based on Megabits per second (Mbps), with speeds upwards of 20 Mbps in packages ranging from top-tier platinum service of $68 per month down to basic service for as little as $19. As the new fiber line and access points are updated with new technology, the package speeds may increase while offering contract-free high-speed internet. There are of course circumstances beyond their control, yet the team works hard to maintain a signal no matter what conditions Lake County weather patterns may throw their way. A construction project last year that accidentally severed the fiber-optic line leading into Lakeview caused an outage, but the team communicated by any means necessary to update clients with timelines for when

service would return. When winter snows and heavy winds hit hard Tnet’s team can often be found braving the conditions on snowmobiles or even renting snowcats from public works to find any means necessary to reach Black Cap despite blizzard conditions to clear satellite dishes of snow and debris, assuring that connectivity remains strong. “I can’t begin to express how much I appreciate people trusting us for their internet,” said Dodd. “I’m very grateful, when I moved into the community I was an outsider when I bought the radio station, but they have accepted me and this business greatly, I appreciate it.” Tnet Broadband Internet is located at 629 Center St. in Lakeview.

A County-Wide Integral District By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner In 1978, four Rotary Club members had a mission to maintain the Lake County cemeteries as a Rotary project. These men were Earl Corum of Silver Lake, Don Hotchkiss of Lakeview, Raymond Fisher of New Pine Creek and John Bogardus of Lakeview. That year they were successful, establishing the Lake County Cemetery Maintenance District (LCCMD), which would go on to maintain seven cemeteries across the county. As a special tax district, the organization receives .2289 cents per $1,000 from those within its boundaries from New Pine Creek to Silver Lake. The first cemeteries taken into the district were New Pine Creek (established 1895), Lakeview IOOF (established 1869), Sunset Park (established 1919) and Silver Lake (established 1881). The district board comprised of the four men hired the first maintenance crew for Lakeview and Silver Lake cemeteries, gaining help from correction workers, Boy Scout and Girl Scout groups and other volunteers. It took two years for the district to fence Silver Lake’s cemetery, LCCMD’s administrative secretary and cemetery manager,

Sherrain Glenn, describing it as the pride of Lake County. Visitors have taken notice as they come into the county from the north, she said. Later, in 1985, Paisley and Summer Lake residents petitioned to join the LCCMD and were successful. Paisley Cemetery (established in 1881), at just four acres, was a challenge for the board since it was hard to maintain because of sagebrush and rocky terrain. They rolled up their sleeves and backed up and pulled up sagebrush while Paisley provided city water to keep the grass as green as possible. Summer Lake Cemetery (established in 1885) was maintained by a Silver Lake maintenance worker. The last of the all the cemeteries came in 1990. Adel rancher Earl Rodger donated .78 acres of his property after Adel and Plush residents requested to join the district. The levy was eventually passed, resulting in Anderson Engineering surveying and mapping the property so that that district could fence with chain link and drill a well for irrigation purposes. Some Fort Rock and Christmas Valley residents petitioned to join their cemeteries later, but it didn’t pass. Near the Sunset Park Cemetery, a warehouse is on site that houses all the nec-

essary equipment that is used to maintain the cemeteries including a tractor, backhoe and lawn mowers. Glenn said that LCCMD opens and closes all burials conducted at these sites, which is a vital cog in the funeral process. Though LCCMD works mainly off of tax dollars, they occasionally go out to obtain grants to do touch-up work. One project recently done was re-facing the retaining wall of the grave of Dr. Bernard Daly along with touching up cement on a few crypts thanks to a Daly Fund grant. The district’s main obligation to the taxpayers is maintenance that can take many forms such as trimming trees and bushes or pulling dead bushes and trees. A well-equipped staff is made up of Rosa and Jesus Villagrana as caretakers for Silver Lake, caretaker Marie Leehmann in Summer Lake, Sheila Babb and sexton Dwayne Young in Paisley, Susan McLain in Adel, and Andrew Lindsay and Rick Folsom help in New Pine Creek and at Lakeview’s two cemeteries. Maintenance activities generally start in March while landscaping begins in CEMETERIES April, continuing See page 22 for the next six

CEMETERIES From page 20 months each year. With the routine maintenance also comes large undertakings. The latest expansive project happened at the New Pine Creek Cemetery as crews installed an underground irrigation system, which took a total of three years to finish. Starting in 2013, a sum of 112 lines were installed equating to over $20,000 in taxes. “We have to have irrigation like this to maintain them because staff can only be worked four to five hours,” reasoned Glenn. Involved in LCCMD for 35 years, Glenn started out as a bookkeeper for Lakeview Distributors and was asked by Don Hotchkiss to take care of the records for the cemeteries. “I like genealogy and always did so I didn’t mind the work,” she said. As a native of Lakeview, she found it a pleasure to do the work and has been involved ever since. “It’s not that difficult and it’s something nice that you can do,” Glenn said. From all her years of work, Glenn has seen a drastic change with technology, evolving the way that computers, using the Pontem system, have shaped how the cemeteries around the county are managed and maintained. “Our seven cemeteries are the pride of Lake County. Other folks are noticing them,” Glenn said. “It’s not a nine-to-five job, but 365 days per year,” she said. “You have to be there to aid in the funeral cycle.” For more information about the LCCMD, contact Glenn at 541-947-3083

Man of Many Trades

JIMMY HALL/ Lake County Examiner

By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner

Mike Beeson, standing, took some time out of his busy schedule to talk about his various business ventures while shedding some back story at the Lake County Historical Society.

It has been a stalwart year for Mike Beeson, Lakeview businessman, who has opened up a new business and bought and rebranded another while maintaining a distribution company and retail location. Though not a full-time resident of Lakeview, he has plans to move into the area when circumstances are right. Beeson found affection with the community and put in a lot of legwork to be a leading hand behind revitalizing downtown commerce. Beeson’s local history began when he was a Frito-Lay distributor in 1974 when he would occasionally meet a friend from Crescent for a Coke at Don’s Market. After just a little convincing, Beeson bought his friend’s Old Trapper Beef Jerky route for $400 that covers Lake, Siskiyou and Klamath counties. He called up a former manager who then gave an ultimatum of either work full-

time at Frito-Lay or chase his own ventures, Beeson chose the latter. This decision set sail for a lifetime of agency, selecting for himself what businesses he would choose to partake. This led him to distributing other brands such as Grandma Cookies, Blue Bell Potato Chip Company and Reser’s Fine Foods. “We did pretty well,” he said. “I’m in my 41st year doing all that.” Through the years he has added many other lines that now make up Beeson’s Distributing. Around 10 years ago, Beeson made trips to Fetsch’s Menswear in Lakeview and asked its then owner if he would be interested in selling the business. Though he wasn’t interested at the time, Beeson was able to make the purchase the building in 2007 after Fetsch’s closed. Beeson ended up converting the store to be part of The 39er Variety

Store franchise. “I always wanted the building and it took five years to negotiate the price,” Beeson recalled. “We thought it would be a good addition to downtown Lakeview.” Operating since then, Beeson and his employees have been supplying anything that should be featured in a variety store. This includes clothing, home décor, candies, gifts and other merchandise. Starting from scratch had its downsides though, explained Beeson, such as not having the advantage of being part of a buying group. Regardless, The 39er has been a staple for Lakeview shoppers since opening. In the past year, Beeson acquired the neighboring building and MANY TRADES started a couple See page 28 new ventures.

MANY TRADES

From page 26

In June 2015, Cycle Town Coffee opened, offering a wide selection of coffees from the Portland-based company and a small assortment of breakfast items and drinks. Though the caffeinated drinks are a large draw, Cycle Town’s inviting atmosphere with its chairs, space and free Wi-Fi has been a venue for local groups to come and converse just as well. When customers enter the coffee shop, they can either sit at tables next to the counter where they order their drinks or the on the opposite side of the hall, which has been designated the John Wayne Room. This space was inspired by Beeson’s son David, who was an avid Wayne fan, with its many depictions of the western Hollywood actor. Just a little after setting sail with Cycle Town, Beeson purchased the clothing retailer The Niche Boutique and converted it to Tall Town Clothing. With the addition of Pendleton gifts, Grace of LA Jeans, it has been a welcome business to continue. As one of the few clothing retailers in Lakeview, this venture gives the area an avenue to purchase the latest in fashion, keeping the money within the local economy. In the near future, Beeson is planning on moving the store’s location to E Street.

JIMMY HALL/ Lake County Examiner

Mike Beeson unloads inventory at Cycle Town Coffee, a premium spot for locals to grab their morning brews. Beeson isn’t done with the many undertakings to his small corner on 1st and E streets. He is looking to remodel its downstairs to make a conference room or art gallery as well as make space available for bicycle rentals and repair in the summer. “I want the building full one of these days,” he said with a smile. When not on the road putting miles on his car traveling all over the state, he is a

leading hand, along with other E Street merchants, behind the Occupy E Street Fair and Car Show. This July will mark the sixth year of the event on the historic street. Featuring businesses and a car show, it is a draw for the whole community to come down for the afternoon of activities, acting as a shot in the arm for downtown. Beeson is already brainstorming ways he can make it better and expanding, throwing around the idea of street dancing the night of celebrations. When asked where he gets the energy for these endeavors, Beeson said that a lot comes from Terry, his wife, business partner, and best friend, who has an astounding work ethic. “The passion comes from thinking of the end result,” he said, commenting on their good employees and the work that they put in. He remembered his first impressions of Lakeview in the 1970’s when it was a “booming place.” Beeson said that he is unsure that they can get back to how it was, but there are potential strides on how to improve the downtown economy. The 39er Variety Store is located at 15 N. E St. in Lakeview and can be reached at 541-947-3998.

LCP, Starting to Make Waves By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner It began more than one year ago, and though still in its infancy, Lakeview Community Partnership (LCP) has grown into an organization aimed at helping downtown Lakeview become a flourishing marketplace like in the past. Based on the Oregon Main Street Program, which has been instrumental in revitalizing small towns throughout the state, LCP was first thought of by Ginger Casto. She came in to fill the vacancy of the Rural Development Specialist at South Central Oregon Economic Development District for Lake County in December 2014 and has done significant work to bring LCP from the seeds to the rooting processes. Though homegrown, Casto left for much of her life for work in other areas of Oregon and the western United States for Rural Development Initiative and the Ford Institute Leadership Program. Upon returning, she recognized the potential of downtown Lakeview’s historic structures. This led her to reconnect with Oregon Main Street Program Dir. Sheri Stuart for a handful of presentations about the

Receiving financial backing is a must for any non-profit organization. LCP received its first considerable donation from the Town of Lakeview in its first months of operations. Pictured are Lakeview Town Mgr. Ray Simms and LCP secretary-treasurer Ginger Casto. program, detailing what can and has been done in several small towns throughout Oregon. The first meeting was March 9, 2015 where Stuart gave examples of successes all over the country that contributed to a hike in business and economic boom. “Every town I’ve been in has a story to tell,” she said to the group that came to listen that night at the Lake County Senior Center. The next meeting was bringing together the “Steering Committee,” a small focus group aimed at the first steps of bringing together the organization. One of the mostly discussed topics was if it should be its own non-profit under an umbrella organization such as with Lake County Development Corporation, or another type of structure all together. Ultimately, it was decided to stand on its own as a 501(c)(3) organization to acquire grants and funds without paying administrative fees. Stuart returned to visit with the steering committee April 2015 to give members more direction as to where to go next. This led them to draft objectives and goals, final-

ly landing on the name that it is now known as the following June. Then a board was formed, which currently stand as Rob Nichols, president; Ann Logan, vice-president; and Ginger Casto as secretary-treasurer. Members at large are Ken Kestner, Ray Simms, Karen Bunch and John Cogar. Four committees within the organization were formed with Board members helming each. These include the Promotion Committee that is led by Ann Logan, the Economic Vitality Committee headed up by Ginger Casto, the Design Committee led by John Cogar, and Leadership Development, which is handled by the Board. From there, the organization was up and running, putting together efforts and getting its name out there with a firm pride in what downtown Lakeview has to offer. A substantial struggle that any nonprofit has in its beginning stages is acquiring money for its activities. In its MAKING WAVES first year, LCP See page 32 has received a

MAKING WAVES From page 30 grant from the Town of Lakeview in the amount of $2,500 in October 2015 and recently a $10,000 gift from Reser Family Foundation in January 2016. The latter grant was thanks to Jane Reser, 1977 Lakeview High School graduate, who married into the Reser family, the dynasty that owns Reser Fine Foods. She is the sister of Pres. Nichols, who said that the financial blessing was a terrific start for LCP. The Promotion Committee has been the most visible in Lakeviewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown. Twice per month, a group of customers meet at a central point in town and overwhelm a local business spending at least $20 each at the store or restaurant. Calling this a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cash Mob,â&#x20AC;? the group have visited businesses such The 39er Variety Store, Back Yard Floral, Pizza Villa, Feather Your Nest and many more. The Committee also put on the first Festival of Trees during the Christmas season. About a dozen trees lined the former True Value location so that spectators could buy tickets for a chance to win their favorite. This event was a monumental success, collecting

hundreds of dollars for LCP funds. The Design Committee paid homage to the past by printing up nearly 100 photos of historic buildings and posted them in the downtown windows that they represent. This effort was precursor to Lake County Fair and Round-Up for visitors to admire at the times gone by. Lastly, the Economic Vitality Committee has put together surveys and focus groups to get a better understanding about what Lakeview residents look for when they shop. The reports were then given to business owners to hopefully accommodate those customers with their inventory. The committee is also in the process of cataloging the vacant storefronts to get a sense about what can come into the area. While in its beginning stages and in its second year of operations where it is oftentimes hard to see certain progress, LCP members are fully invested into making downtown Lakeview stand on its own through a myriad of efforts. For more information about the organization, contact secretary-treasurer Casto at 541-947-6013.

A Lifetime’s Worth of Giving KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner

Lee Sanders celebrated his 90th birthday in 2016 surrounded by friends and family following a lifetime of service, both in the military and through community service in Lake County. Sanders’ family includes Vivian Walston, l-r, Nancy Rose Elliott, Barbara Sanders, Dean Elliott, Rick Elliott, Betty Sanders-Elliott, Lee Sanders, Tammy Whipp, CJ Whipp, Cooper Whipp, Abbie Whipp and Mason Whipp. By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner Lee Sanders turned 90 this year, holding a large birthday party at the Lake County Senior Center during Lakeview’s annual Irish Days celebration. A large contingent of family and friends turned out to pay homage to a man who personifies the Lake County spirit of giving through decades of service, both to his country and to the communities in which he has called home. Lee Sherwood Sanders, born in 1926 in Lakeview, is the son of Harvey Roy Sanders and Alice Erma Sherwood. Both families had relocated to Lake County, Harvey joining the N.C.O. Railroad as a section foreman and Alice becoming a teacher in Fandango near New Pine Creek. The couple were married in 1917, and after living in Lakeview for a few years relocated to Adel, where Harvey worked as the postmaster. Growing up in Lake County, Lee and his younger sister Betty moved between Adel, Plush and Lakeview, operating a store in Plush while the family home in Lakeview became what is today the ski shop. Sanders, like many youth from Lake County, learned the value of a hard day’s work, which would be applied often in the years to come. Drafted into the U.S. Army in 1944, he was initially turned down due to bad eyesight before being drafted once more in 1948. Following training at Fort Rod in California, Fort Bliss in Texas and Fort Lee in Virginia, Sanders was shipped overseas to

serve as maintenance battalion clerk because of his ability to type. For 20 years Sanders dutifully served his country, stationed in South Korea, Hawaii, Germany and Vietnam before retiring in 1968. After his tenure in the military ended, his service did not. He returned home to Oregon but not Lake County, instead moved to Mount Vernon to be closer to his ailing mother in John Day. Sanders returned to visit Lakeview often, making the trek south every May to decorate graves for Memorial Day, and eventually met his wife Barbara in 1979. The couple were married in 1981. It was in September 2000 that Sanders returned to Lakeview for his 55th high school reunion and decided on the drive back to Mount Vernon that it was time to return home. A month later the couple were Lakeview residents once more, two weeks short of 52 years since Sanders had last called Lakeview home. The area was familiar yet different, as most of the longstanding mills and factories from his youth were gone, replaced with new industries. Not one to ever sit still, Sanders in retirement got busy giving back to his original hometown in every which way he could.

LIFETIME GIVING From page 36 in to serve more organizations with an eye towards service to the community. He joined the Lakeview Lions Club, became a board member of the Oregon Outback Humane Society, joined the security committee for Lake County Courthouse, and eventually became the chairman of the board at the Lake County Senior Center. “I enjoy being active,” said Sanders. “I don’t like to just sit around. The big reward to me is service to the community.” Instilled with a sense of duty from his Lake County upbringing and military service, Sanders dutifully carries on in his tasks whenever and wherever asked while remaining busy and spry above and beyond a person normally of his age. Sanders can always be seen at military funerals and honor ceremonies during Memorial Day and Veterans Day to remember fellow veterans. During horse shows and Round-Up he and other VFW members help out by providing a food trailer by the arena operated by Mike and Mary Margaret Schultz. The proceeds from the operation go towards Memorial Day and Veterans Day services. For all the different activities, Sanders’ favorite remains the annual swim meet sponsored by the Lakeview Lions.

Lee Sanders re-enlists in the U.S. Army in Germany in the early 1960’s. Sanders served in the military for 20 years before eventually returning to Lake County.

Sanders learned how to swim at Hunter’s Pond, as the Lakeview Municipal Swimming Pool wasn’t built until four years after he left for the military. Yet he holds great pride in the pool, which recently underwent a huge renovation thanks largely to a $22,000 donation from the Lions Club, of which Sanders was paramount in collecting for the communal cause. Sanders serves as the Lions Club treasurer. When not fundraising for the pool or other specific projects, Sanders and the Lions Club work to provide residents in need with glasses, hearing aids and assist with various youth-oriented causes. With no signs of slowing down, Sanders continues to occupy his days with a spirit of giving back wherever he can to the community in which he was raised, continuing what has already been a lifetime of service. “I think people give back because we’re community-oriented here,” said Sanders. “I think it’s because I was raised here, I went to school here, and I came back here. I just want people to remember me with kindness.”

Shaping Lives

with Volunteerism JIMMY HALL/ Lake County Examiner

By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner

Despite the fact that the organization can only have two major fundraisers per year, the volunteers who make up the Lake District Hospital Auxiliary put out a considerable amount of effort to help raise money that positively affects lives throughout the calendar year. The need for the Auxiliary spans back to the first administrator, said original founder Lois Strieby. “Now, look at this,” she said during an Auxiliary monthly meeting, motioning toward the room full of volunteers who lined three long tables in the Penn Wilbur Conference Room. Strieby also had the honor of having a conference room named after her, located in the clinic part of the hospital. Strieby explained that when the hospital was where the current Lake County Senior Center is located, a bond was passed to build the new hospital. “The first administrator asked me to form an auxiliary. My bridge playing friends and myself went to Klamath Falls, at the Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital, which is now Skylakes

Each year Hospital Auxiliary members helm a booth and put on an entire event so that the public can come through to purchase handmade gifts. Shown are members Eleanor Lynch, L-R, Maurice Lepley and Janis Muller at the booth of raffle prizes where proceeds go toward hospital equipment purchases and other endeavors.

Medical Center, and modeled it after that.” When the group got their bearings about how to form and run an auxiliary, they quickly began to work and put together a gift shop that sold handmade items along with bits and pieces that they got from home that they had a hunch would sell. Another part of their duties was greeting people who entered the hospital and served juice to patients every morning. Along the timeline, they wanted to raise money, said Strieby, which turned into the first Holiday Fair, which is still an annual event that draws crowds, in the basement of the hospital. At the time it consisted of a meal and selling holiday items. The event was moved to the Fairgrounds in the mid 1980’s, where much more room is afforded. June Williams ran the fair until the mid-1990’s, recalled Strieby. Five percent of the proceeds of the Holiday Fair goes into a nursing scholarship to move forward nursing opportunities. The gift shop, which is currently named Sunshine Gift Shop is celebrating

its fourth year at its current location in the north hallway of the hospital. It is the major moneymaker for the Auxiliary. Inside the petite shop is a wide range of Oregon State University and University of Oregon merchandise, gifts for mothers and newborns, and general products that bring a smile to the face of any patient recovering. Auxiliary members who volunteer time to the cause are always smiling during their shift, but also finds it harder to find new bodies to help helm the shop. They noted that many volunteers are aging and are unable to put in the time. Anyone who recently had a change in life status and who have skills that they would like to use to help the shop are welcome to fill out an application found at the gift shop. The other major fundraiser is the card game party, held every spring at the Elks Lodge in Lakeview. Starting in 1997, tables are set-up for groups to enjoy VOLUNTEERISM a wide variety of See page 42 games including

VOLUNTEERISM From page 40 Bridge, Pinochle, Yahtzee and Bunco. Members are encouraged to bring a dessert and bring two white elephant gifts for all to enjoy. From these three straightforward events, enough is raised to purchase 61 different pieces of equipment for the hospital, just from 2003 - 2013. These ranged from lead aprons, a pediatric crash cart, an extra-wide bariatric recline and an ophthalmoscope and otoscope. Every purchase is displayed on a plaque in the hospital for all to see. In between major fundraisers, Auxiliary volunteers assist in different community outreach ventures. One includes providing volunteers at the Red Cross Blood Drives when the Bloodmobile is hosted at the hospital premises. They also participate in the Health Awareness Week, usually held in the summer in conjunction with Dr. Daly Days. At the fair, they offer free health tips for families on subjects like blood pressure, diet and nutri-

tion. Ongoing efforts include distributing magazines for waiting room racks and tables and carrying on the tradition of greeting those who visit the hospital and serving juice and coffee to residents at Lakeview Gardens long-term care unit. Even if reasons for giving time and energy are different, each Auxiliary member is committed to helping out their fellowmen. “I do it to give to others,” said member Dianne Clay. Fellow member Pat Springer added that when she turned 50 years old, she asked herself, “Where is my life going?” She then started to volunteer at a nursing home in Wyoming, where she lived prior to moving to Lakeview. Since her move, she has volunteered for the organization since 1993. Shayla Graham, helper of nine years, recalled that when her husband passed away, one of the members started to help her get out of the house and active

again. “It was my turn to give back,” she said. “I look forward to helping now, I really enjoy it.” Jodi Campbell said that she has had familial connections to Lake County and moved to the area two years ago. “You get to a point in your life where you’re not consumed with raising children and everything that goes with that,” she said. “You have time to give. It’s a way to give back to the community that welcomed me so well. It’s wonderful to be part of this auxiliary that gives back to our hospital.” Even after all these years, the mission and purpose to “pro-

mote and advance the welfare of the Lake District Hospital” is still in force by providing services for members and the hospital, raising funds and community outreach. Interested people can join the Hospital Auxiliary with $5 for Active Members, $15 for Contributing Members and $100 for Life Members. Meetings are held at the Penn Wilbur Hospital the first Monday of the month at 12 p.m. For more information, contact the Lake District Hospital at 541-947-2114.

Mysterious, Bizarre Collection on Display

By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner

Lake County Museum in Lakeview holds a wide assortment of fascinating artifacts and documents preserving Lake County’s unique history, but there is one display that remains a mystery yet unequivocally draws the most interest from visitors. While most museums maintain a strict handsoff policy, people are encouraged to touch and explore this display, which presents a vast collection of items recovered from the Lakeview sewer system. The exact origins or even how the collection came to exist have been lost to time, as has the individual or people who retrieved and assembled the items now tacked onto a large plywood board and stored in the museum’s records room. It is believed that the board was presented at a garage sale where individual items were being sold

SUBMITTED PHOTO

An unidentified individual stands proudly next to a board of various items believed to have been collected years ago from the Lakeview sewers. when someone suggested that it should instead be given to the museum. Supposedly the sale’s proprietor’s late husband had worked for the Town of Lakeview, collecting the various trinkets during his tenure cleaning out drainage systems. According to John Griffin, resident historian and board member of the Lake County Museum since its opening in 1990, the items came from the sewer structure that collects run-off from Bullard Canyon and runs under E Street, eventually re-emerging near Fremont School. Just who compiled the collection or how it ended up at the museum Griffin does not recall, but the display is far and away his favorite and most intriguing piece of history stored there. “I spend a lot of time just staring at it,” said Griffin. “I’m always wondering just

how the heck some of these things got down into a sewer pipe. We get a lot of curious double-takes, and some amazement. This is the one thing that people will stand and stare at for long amounts of time.” The time dedicated to exploring its many historic treasures of no intrinsic value but immeasurable in sparking fascination is understandable, simply from the quantity and variety of items in the collection. Some of the items are so large that it is a wonder how they ever fit down a drain pipe, certainly coming from the era before drains had catches when sinks connected straight to sewers. Amongst the vast array is nail clippers, watches, bottle openers, silverware, BIZARRE COLLECTION lipstick, See page 46

If there is an item that might possibly be found anywhere near a sink or toilet, somehow Lakeview residents have found a way to drop it down the drain over many years. Few if any of the items are identifiable, the years and rust of the sewers taking its toll, except for one, dog tags for a pooch once belonging to Vonda Cook at 220 N. J St. “We’ll have people tell their grandkids that they used to have one of these items, and they’ll start discussing the different brands around in the past,” said Griffin. “I wish we knew more about it.” The display for a time was stored in the museum’s basement before being moved to the top floor records room. Previous to becoming the Lake County Museum the building served as the Education Service District (ESD) office, where Griffin

worked in the basement before joining the board to help establish the museum. Griffin is also an active board member of the ESD. It seems like the collection has followed Griffin for years, yet he still remains fascinated by it, both in the origin story of each item and also noticing new items amongst the collection whenever he dedicates time to staring at it or providing tours. It seems as though while the story remains largely a mystery, the display has countless stories to tell. Patrons to the Lake County Museum can explore the mysteries of the Lakeview sewer collection for themselves during visiting hours, Wednesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the operating months of April through October. Jody Campbell is the current museum curator. The Lake County Museum is located at 118 S.

Surprise Geyser Brought Adel National Attention Today the once mighty Crump Geyser near Adel is just a rusty hole mostly filled with rocks. By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner Its emergence was a total shock, and for a time brought global attention to Warner Valley, but with it came legal battles and a money grab for tourist dollars. In the end Lake County’s other famous geyser would end with a whimper as the Crump Geyser near Adel simply lost its steam. Charley Crump had been trying to drill hot water wells since 1935 on his 560-acre property north of Adel near Crump Lake on the ranch his family had occupied since 1889. But it was in 1959 that he got far more than he had bargained for. Contracting with the Magma Power Company out of Los Angeles, a well was to be drilled on Crump’s property beginning on June 20, 1959, the Nevada Thermo-Power Co., in the hopes of finding steam and hot water at 300-degrees for construction of a power plant. After several unsuccessful drilling attempts water temperatures only reached 225-degrees and the project was abandoned by the end of June, deemed a failure. The crew had drilled a 17inch hole to a depth of 1,681 feet at a site approximately four miles north of Adel, but not finding enough steam or high heat to suit their purposes the crew left Adel, moving on to two proposed Surprise Valley sites. It was two days later at 1:55 p.m. on July 1, 1959 that Crump and a friend were standing near the drill site chatting. A loud

SUBMITTED PHOTO

rumbling sound like a low-flying plane overhead sent the two scrambling. They turned around to see water shooting skyward out of the abandoned well even higher than the world’s most famous geyser – Old Faithful at Yellowstone National Park. The water stream was continuous, spouting over 600 gallons a minute at 5080 feet per second to a height of 200 feet, making it the only known continuous geyser in the world. Word spread quickly, the well drilling crews returned, cursing the blowout for their missed opportunity. They set up their rig to attempt several more drillings in the Warner Valley that proved unsuccessful. Instantly the geyser was a tourist attraction, and Crump had grand plans, discussing the possibility of making a milliondollar lodge and swimming pool. But not all were pleased by the new geyser. News reached State Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton, who wanted the well capped so as to stop wasting vast amounts of water resources. This was an opinion shared by State Engineer Lewis A. Stanley. Soon more lawyers got involved, compounded by the discovery that while Magma Power had gained rights to drill, the Nevada Thermo Power Co. did not have permission to drill for a natural hot water supply. Who had rights of an Oregon geyser on private property drilled by a Nevada company drawing water from an underground reservoir

that stretched into public land across three states? The debate raged until Stanley issued an order to have the well capped, but the project necessitated special equipment and cost thousands, so whose responsibility was that? Lake County District Attorney Chick Chaloupa along with attorney generals from California and Nevada entered the argument to clear interstate technicalities. Thornton eventually issued an order on July 23 to Magma that the Nevada Thermo Power Co. must cap the well to end the waste of the state’s natural resources. “Thornton has been ill-advised as to the water being wasted,” said Crump to the Examiner in July, 1959. “All the flow from the hot water well on my place near Crump Lake is badly needed for irrigation of pasture land.” Irrigation aside, plans were already in motion to capitalize, the Lake County Chamber of Commerce rallying to launch a geyser promotional campaign with photos of the geyser spread statewide.

GEYSER From page 48 attention and Crump grew weary. He offered to donate the land for a public park at a July 20 Chamber meeting. Crump described it as a hot water well with a lot of cold water being thrown on it. On Aug. 5 Stanley made the trip to Lakeview to speak before a joint meeting of the Rotary Club and Chamber to explain his reasoning for capping the well. Overwhelming support for turning it into a tourist attraction swayed him to rescind the capping order, but not without some caveats. Testing had been done of the water, showing it to have high alkaline and arsenic levels, which would kill cattle, be dangerous to humans, and turn lands to salt if used for irrigation. Further, the well wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t properly cased, and he warned that erosion would eat away at the hole eventually turning it into nothing more than a bubbling hot spring. He suggested capping it and drilling a new line with a proper casing and valve controls. He called any investment in the well unwise. The geyser remained active, though it actually froze that winter amidst sub-zero temperatures. In the spring several kids were spotted throwing rocks into the hole, causing a steam cloud but stopping the water flow. This resulted in a backwash that

instead caused water to spout from a well drilled on Crumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property in 1955 about 100 feet away. As debris piled up in the hole the geyser began showing its age. After a few years it no longer spouted continuously but only once an hour, then once every four hours, and at times as low as 8-12 feet. The Crump geyser was dying. As water pressure waned so too did interest in the geyser as a tourist attraction. The geyser was damaged beyond repair by vandals and no longer the awe-inspiring site that had some envisioning Lake County drawing visitors from around the world like Yellowstone. For all the hot water emerging from the ground and hot air emanating from politicians, in the end the geyser simply lost steam. The hole was mostly filled in with rocks, occasionally bubbling, and while muffled rumbling could be heard underground, it rarely spouted. In 1962 Crump contracted with Magma again, but never again was water found hot enough for the envisioned power plant or under enough pressure to spout. By the 1990s Stanleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warnings had proven prophetic. The Crump Geyser was nothing more than a largely forgotten small hole in the ground, which at one time had drawn the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention to Lake County.

KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner

Cross country was added at North Lake in 2015 and the sport saw an increase in interest at Paisley High School, resulting in not enough kids available to field a volleyball team. By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner Participation in sports remains high at Lake County’s three high schools, but fielding teams each term requires a tremendous amount of work behind the scenes and community support. Whether a club sport or one fully-sanctioned by the Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA), being able to maintain the flurry of school-related sports is a numbers game in participants, coaches, opponents and budgets. Sometimes the decision can be difficult in determining if competing is even feasible. Tasked with coordinating all aspects of Lake County sports are the school athletic directors, working to certify coaches, schedule games, balance budgets and coordinate referees amidst an ever-changing student enrollment where interest in a sport can vary widely from year to year. Last year North Lake High School added a new cross country and track and field program, seeing dividends immediately in qualifying two kids for the state championships. North Lake won eighth place in long jump, fifth in the 200-meters and a state championship in high jump; an incredibly impressive performance for a first-year sports program. Lakeview High School also added a club cheerleading program and returned middle school volleyball and track. However, in contrast Paisley High School was unable to coordinate a fall volleyball team and withdrew from league play due to many kids instead choosing to compete in

Adding Athletics a Numbers Game

cross country. This spring North Lake will not field a softball team for the first time in several seasons. For the two smaller 1A schools, Paisley and North Lake, the student body numbers play a huge factor in determining what sports can be played. For a sport such as soccer or football necessitating at least 11 players, sometimes there are just simply not enough bodies to compile a competitive squad. In the past when Paisley fielded a football team, some years they were unable to finish the season due to a shortage of healthy and eligible bodies. Shortly after the program was cut, new equipment standards were established, which would have placed a great strain budget-wise in being able to properly equip a team. “We’ve discussed having a soccer team for many years,” said Paisley School Athletic Dir. Jon Jones. “However, we may have only 35 students enrolled total, so to field an 11-member boys or girls team it would take practically the entire student body signing up to remain eligible. We might be able to play a year or two, but I’m not willing to establish a sport if we can’t sustain it over time.” At Paisley, where the school has a well-established foreign-exchange program that typically brings 8-10 students to Lake County, the influx of international kids with little to no athletic experience in a particular sport compounds the difficulty in compe-

tition. “We don’t get the luxury of JV teams due to a lack of bodies, and with exchange students it’s like starting over again every year teaching basic fundamentals,” said Jones. Even if there is great student interest in a sport, Lake County’s remote location creates an issue of transportation and opponents. Transportation costs come into play, but not as much as finding an opponent within relatively close proximity to play against. Travel times can be long, or longer still if a sport is sought that isn’t included by neighboring schools in southern Oregon. “A deciding factor is scheduling,” said Lakeview High School Athletic Dir. Jesse Hamilton. “Often whatever Klamath Falls brings back we can bring back, because they will schedule us. If we wanted to start a new sport like tennis, even if we had the numbers in student interest, nobody else in our region may have a team so they would have to travel a lot.” While it varies somewhat, for Lake County’s athletic directors they try to schedule as far ahead as one year in advance, but with the caveat that everything is subject to change. When teams can’t participate for a season it means all opponent’s schedules must be modified, causing a domino efNUMBERS GAME fect that can See page 54 wreak

havoc trying to find open dates and available referees. The prospect of a new sport being added usually starts with the students themselves expressing interest in establishing a club sport. Sometimes interest surveys are provided to students, such as when 25 kids showed up following surveying to join the new LHS club cheerleading team. While North Lake launched directly into OSAA-sanctioned competition for their track program, the far more common route is to start as a non-school funded club sport, then if successful eventually elevate to school-funded. This happened in recent years with the growing popularity of soccer at Lakeview High School, the school now funds boys and girls teams that previously were club sports. After student interest is gauged, a volunteer coach must be found from the faculty or community. These coaches must be certified in four primary focus areas: heat acclimatization, steroids, concussions and fundamentals of coaching. The OSAA also places certain parameters for each sport in practice and contest limitations. Even after participants, coaches, opponents and schedules are complete, the job is still not done. Schools are responsi-

While money is always a factor, according to Hamilton if there is interest from kids there is always a way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we have the numbers, the parents and community will always find a way to make it work,â&#x20AC;? said Hamilton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If kids are interested Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen that people will do what it takes to make it happen.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have not added or taken away any sports since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here with the exception of football,â&#x20AC;? added Jones, who remains confident that Paisley will field a volleyball team again in the future when enough student interest returns. Jones noted that a big reason for the high participation and subsequent community support to make it work is that in a remote area like Lake County, sports become the primary social setting. With two of the three high schools on four-day class schedules and most games Fridays and Saturdays, sports keep kids busy and active, more focused on their academics to remain eligible to play and less likely to get in trouble due to a shortage of free time. Regardless of the work involved, the job is a source of pride for Lake Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athletic directors to ensure that kids have a place to play.

Artistic Outlet JIMMY HALL/ Lake County Examiner

By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner Desert Arts Theatre revived in 2013 an important lost art left long dormant in Lakeview — community theatre. A group had existed previously performing plays in Lakeview but had faded away in the 1980s, until two teachers sought a new creative outlet for students and residents alike. Established by Joann Dickson and Sarah Davis, the group quickly gained members, in particular from the help of two experienced actors from Los Angeles who had relocated to Lake County — Klint Rhea and Erica Bray. The collective of actors and self-proclaimed proud theater geeks set to work on plans for their first production in 2014, a presentation of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. Recruiting family and fellow fans of live performance as well as the mildly curious, Desert Arts Theatre performed for two nights at the Daly Middle School Auditorium. The crowd turnout was overwhelming, all the validation needed to prove a hunger in Lake County for community performances. “We had a packed house each night we did Beauty and the Beast, we weren’t expecting that,” said Bray, president of Desert Arts Theatre. “The response was overwhelming.” The Beauty and the Beast performances included many participants from the community of all ages whether acting on stage or handling stage props, costumes, makeup, lighting, sound and every other aspect required for a spectacular performance. While initially operating under the veil of Lake Arts Council, with the assistance of Elizabeth Christley the group soon established its own 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with an eye towards helping youth and providing an environment to let creativity flourish. Led by a seven-member board, the group has remained active in planning productions and participating locally as much as possible through community events and youth camps. Establishing a spring break arts camp for kids dubbed “A Big

Slice of Soup,” the 2015 multi-day event featured Shel Silverstein readings with students and theatre members acting out stories in a fun-filled and inspiring opportunity to explore dramatic skills. The camp proved a huge success, so much so that Desert Arts Theatre members hope to make it an annual event. Additional events included a float in the Irish Days parade, face-painting stations at community events such as Independence Day celebrations at the fairgrounds, and an old time western photo booth at the Lake County Fair. The troupe also has been certified to coordinate acting camps with inmates at Warner Creek Correctional Facility, hoping to establish opportunities for inmates to explore dramatic arts. Last year the group prepped their next performance, a dinner theatre mystery held at LakeRidge Golf Course called, “The Wedding Reception.” Featuring new and familiar cast members, the interactive performance sold out each evening, further fueling the motivation to provide community theatre. This year even more is planned. Desert Arts Theatre again had a float in the Irish Days Parade and will reprise their western photo booth, while adding a “Wild Oats” spaghetti western parody with hopes of performing a musical in the fall. How the Grinch Stole Christmas is on the wish list of possible performances, as well as Anne of Green Gables as a positive story to portray to young girls in a world of Kardashians run amok. Also high on the priority list for the group is finding a permanent home for their performances. Several sites had been considered, including the former True Value building and Western Wear buildings, but the ultimate goal is the Alger Theater.

unable to justify a new screen and digital projector. Desert Arts hope to someday acquire the site, possibly partnering with other organizations, to rescue the historic theater and convert it into a cultural arts center befitting of other ongoing efforts to revitalize downtown Lakeview; a place for music, drama, open mic nights, art shows, acting camps and more. However the type of outreach, ultimately the goal of the group is nothing more than to inspire others to pursue their creative side. “Every outlet you can think of is in theatre, there’s always a job for you,” said Bray. “We always need kids that like to build, paint, write, do stage makeup, run lighting and sound, we’ll build props…We’d love to join forces with the local dance school, there’s so many possibilities.” Bray noted that while sports and FFA tend to dominate student activities, there are always kids that may not be athletes and are seeking their own means of expression. Bray knows this firsthand, noting that as a quiet introverted kid growing up in Los Angeles she may not have even finished high school were it not for the school drama group providing a new social circle and opportunity to find her voice. This led her to eventually becoming an extra in multiple Hollywood films, while others in Desert Arts share similar stories of finding inner-confidence through performance. “Getting kids up on stage is important,” said Bray. “We always want to do something for youth whenever we can. We think theatre is disappearing in schools, but it’s important for critical thinking skills and finding a passion to pursue. I know the holy grail of this town is sports, but not every kid is athletic, and we need other opportunities for kids to find their voice.” For updates on Desert Arts Theatre visit their Facebook page.

Former Editor Gave All to Save Local History KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner

Thornton Gale, editor of the Lake County Examiner, died in 1942 as a result of smoke inhalation after frantically working to save the newspaper’s archives during a fire.

By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner While not the first newspaper in Lake County, the Lake County Examiner has printed consistently since 1880, eventually merging with other publications to become the official newspaper of record. Those records were nearly lost forever, however, if not for the selfless actions of one Examiner employee to save its precious historic archives from a devastating fire. It was a little after 3 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 18, 1942 when Lakeview was awakened to the sound of fire alarms, the result of smoke appearing from the Lake County Examiner newspaper office. A fire had started in the flume of an oil stove, quickly spreading across the office. While volunteer firefighters scrambled out of bed to rush to the scene, also quickly on site was Thornton Gale, 35-year-old editor of the Examiner. Braving the flames, Gale did his best to rescue historic copies of the Examiner, successfully retrieving editions tracing back to 1899 before flames overcame the office. Fire crews diligently worked to extinguish the flames, but the office had been gutted. It wasn’t the first fire destroying the Examiner office. The great 1900 Lakeview fire had also torched the Examiner, but just as they had over

four decades prior, the Examiner staff rallied to print an edition the very next day. For the next two weeks the actual printing was done in Klamath Falls at the Klamath Basin Progress, with regular operations resuming at the charred but still functional Examiner offices by Dec. 10. However, when the staff returned, they were short one key participant. Gale’s efforts in rescuing stacks of historic newspapers had come at a cost, as smoke and burning lead inhalation had resulted in severe lung damage. For two weeks Gale tried to recover at home, but his condition only worsened. Eventually he checked into the Lakeview Hospital on Sunday, Dec. 7, 1942, and two days later died. Gale had slipped into a coma following a bout with pneumonia as a result of the fire. The coroner’s report listed cause of death as cardiac decomposition and bronchopneumonia due to inhalation of smoke, uremia and coma. A fitting tribute to Gale ran on the LOCAL HISTORY front page of See page 62 Lake County Achives

A tribute to Thornton “Thirty” Gale, editor of the Examiner, was printed a day after his death following a multi-week battle with illness after doing all he could to save the Lake County Examiner’s historic archives.

LOCAL HISTORY From page 60 the Examiner the following day, dedicated to “Thirty” Gale, a seven-year-resident of Lakeview who had made an indelible mark. The tribute described Gale as “Young in years, poor in purse, but rich in blessings of a loving wife, fine children and loyal friends.” Llewellyn Thornton Gale was born in Portland on Dec. 31, 1906. He had a passion for writing in his youth, developing several poems and short stories in high school, while also head of the debating team and an avid athlete for the football and basketball teams. Earning the nickname “Doc,” Gale attended the University of Oregon, eventually becoming the associate editor for the university newspaper, ‘The Emerald’ as well as the school yearbook. After graduating in 1933 he worked for a time with the Bend Bulletin before moving back to Eugene for employment with the Eugene News. Gaining notoriety for his dedication to the journalistic craft, Gale had job offers from The Oregonian and the Lake County Tribune, choosing to pass up big city life in Portland to instead come to Lakeview. The Tribune had been established in 1916 in Fleetwood, one of the many homesteader communities that quickly appeared and then disappeared within a few

years. It was moved later to Fort Rock and Silver Lake before eventually relocating to Lakeview in 1928. Gale’s arrival in Lakeview in 1937 was a big boost for the Tribune, which within three years merged with the Examiner on April 25, 1940, the two subscription lists combined under the Lake County Examiner moniker, officially ending the Lake County newspaper wars. Gale had become the head of the operation, overseeing all aspects of the publication, and under his leadership the Examiner thrived. Gale insisted on more photos and an enlarged redesign of the paper, vowing political independence with its main objective being the development of Lake County’s agricultural, industrial and civic programs. A member of the Elks Lodge and Masonic Lodge, Gale and his wife, Juanita Miller of Yoncalla, had become active members of the community. The couple had three children; Arthur Richard, John Leslie and James Thornton. Gale’s death was a setback for the community, not only in the newspaper’s operations but also for the war effort, as after the start of World War II Gale had volunteered to be the defense coordinator. All of Gale’s family traveled to Lakeview, except for his brother Arthur who was unable to make the

trip from New York, for his burial on Dec. 12. Five days later Lakeview Town Council approved new fire sirens that doubled as air raid sirens, donated by J.T. McDonald of Lakeview Logging Company in honor of Gale. Today Gale’s efforts that fateful night of the fire are preserved in the Examiner’s archives. Newspapers stretching back to 1899, some smoke damaged from the 1942, are stored in the Examiner office, providing a wealth of information preserving Lake County’s history. These historic archives have been duplicated and stored at the Lake County Library, as well as at the University of Oregon, assuring that Lake County’s news of record lives on for years to come thanks to Gale’s selfless act giving his life for the newspaper.

Today the E x a m i n e r, now in its 137th year, sits at the corner of north 2nd and H streets.

Feeding the cattle bale after bale is always an ever-increasing task at the McFarland Ranch.

New Manager at Local Ranch JIMMY HALL/ Lake County Examiner

The Davies family, Melissa, Wes and baby Sadie are happy to call Lake County their new home as they take over operations of McFarland Ranch on Lakeview’s Westside. By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner In his second year into his three-year lease of McFarland Ranch, Wes Davies is looking for a long-term stay in Lake County, working in one of its richest industries. Davies is an Oregon native of Burns and grew up on the Roaring Springs Ranch, located south of Frenchglen. His father, Stacy Davies, moved his family to the ranch in 1998. Davies grew up learning about the ranching lifestyle. Upon graduating high school, he spent one year at Eastern Oregon University in LaGrande, pursuing a post-high school football career, then went on to serve an LDS mission in Chile from 20082010. He graduated from Brigham Young University in 2014 with a degree in Wildlife and Wildlands Conservation, or most commonly known as rangeland management. Joined by his wife Melissa and newborn daughter Sadie in May, he is the sole work hand at the ranch.

Ranching has always been a part of his lifestyle, Davies explained that when he was young he wanted to make an impact on the world. “The best difference I can make is in the land and the animals I work with,” he said. “My life-long goal is to manage a ranch and leave it in better ecological shape than when I found it.” He will do this in a heap of ways. One is by properly managing grazing in a way that is best for the environment. “Season-long continued grazing is the tradition,” Davies said. “Though there have been a lot of cases at ranches that better management of time, duration and intensity of grazing, you can improve the ecological process, improve species diversity, encourage desirable plants and discourage undesirable plants.” Davies continued, saying that ranching is a “wholistic” venture where the soil and pocketbook have to work together. These principles came from his father, who also takes the same approach while managing his ranch. McFarland Ranch is 5,000 acres of all-deeded ground, which includes 400 LOCAL RANCH acres of farm and lake property. It has See page 66 a capacity of producing 1,600 tons of hay

in a good year. Currently, the ranch holds 400 head from the Roaring Springs Ranch and 100 leased from last year with plans of adding 100 this year. “It’s as big of a job as you make it,” Davies laughed. One of the unique features is a 900-acre wildlife easement. “I like it because it is important to be friendly with wildlife and nature, but it is also tame because it restricts when we can use the land in a way that doesn’t allow me to manage the way I would like to.” While in his first year at the ranch, Davies had to go through a learning experience to better understand the geography and seasonal habits of the land. It is also different in that it attracts waterfowl such as duck and geese varieties due to water rights that allow him to keep water in ponds year round. Another focus is that he wants to run a low input, low cost ranch after realizing that some ranches are overcapitalized in equipment and facilities. “People in Lake County are focused on supporting local business, I admire that. That is part of what excites me about being on the Planning Committee,” a position he recently acquired in January, he said. While not on the ranch tending to hundreds of heads of cattle, Davies also works for Country Natural Beef as part of the marketing team, regional director for the Rocky Mountain region and handles the Blue Apron account. Though a Harney native, a county that has a friendly rivalry with Lake, he found comfort in settling in the area. “It’s my home now,” Davies said.

Marius Building, Once a Spectacle of Cinema

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Excitement brewed at the opening of the Marius Theater in Lakeview in 1930. By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner It’s a wonder to think that at one point in time Lakeview was the home of four movie theaters. At current happenstance the town is vacant of that sort of entertainment except for the DVD Stop located in mid-section of town and periodical showings at the First Presbyterian Church and Fairgrounds. In 1919, the latest flicks were being shown at these movie houses, each slowly disappearing until only the Alger Theater the remained, which was shut down March

2014. Of these four cinema houses, one is still used but for a different purpose entirely. The Marius Building located along D Street in Lakeview was once a hub of excitement and history that had much backing and enthusiasm in anticipation to its opening. The Rex Theater was the only remaining of these four in 1928 and was located in the center block on E Street between Center and North 1st Street. Just like any other traditional movie house, the Rex sold tickets by box office with a small popcorn vendor on the side. Tickets were a modest 15 cents with the popcorn concession only a nickel, a dream for any movie-goer nowadays. At that time, the Silent Move era of film was at its high mark. With only film and no sound shipped with it, a piano player would accompany the moving images. Ernest Bugsby was Lakeview’s pianist serving as maestro who can be likened to John Williams or even a Hans Zimmer of the time. He would thump on the piano to bring tension if a bank robbery was taking place on screen or play a more delightful tune when the plot was light. Construction of the Marius Theater was initiated in 1928 when a group of local investors, Marius Miller, R.R. Winchester

and Merle Alger, came together for the effort. Nine months later the theater was complete, but not before Miller died of a sudden illness. The stockholders decided to name the theater after him in his memory. The Lake County Examiner previewed the construction, which only took four and a half months, and its triumphant opening. In the April 3, 1930 edition, it read, “Lakeview is to have one of the most modern sound picture theaters in southern Oregon as a result of the announcement this morning of a group of local business men engaged in the project. The theater is a veritable gem in architecture and interior fittings with the latest and best sound equipment, will form one of the most striking additions to the uptown district that has taken place in recent years.” The construction cost around $50,000 and was designed by prominent architect J.W. De Young. The opening of the theater occurred on Aug. 23, 1930. The theater had a grand opening showing the first “talkie,” Al Jolson starring in “The Jazz Singer,” which was MARIUS THEATRE released three See page 70 years

MARIUS THEATRE From page 68 before. The film, historic in its own right, was sure to have the audience dazzled and amazed when his famous song “Sonny Boy” directly synced up to his lips with the words, “You ain’t heard nothin’ yet!” changing movie history and the cinematic experience as we know it now. The Marius was home to both silent and sound movies. Phonographs were used to accompany the pictures, but by 1933 sound on film was developed making the showing much more comfortable for the staff. Ten years after the initial construction, the first remodel of the Marius was done where side aisles were taken out and two rows of loge seats were installed in the back. Seats were installed in the foyer and lobby so those who smoked could watch the show. The Marius’ tenure as the lone movie house in Lakeview came to an end when Merle and Janice Alger gained the rest of the stock to become the sole owners in 1940, a year that hosted the construction of the Alger Theater, which has since closed as of March 2014. Since that time, Circle JM Drive-In Theatre was constructed south of Hunter’s Lodge in 1952 and was later blown down by 75 mph winds and sold to be converted into an RV park.

Of all the theaters that have come and gone, the one which stays occupied week in and out is the Marius, which now houses many government entities including County Prevention, Adult Probation, Lake County Resource Initiative and Public Health. Today visitors can walk through the front doors and be confronted by the abnormally steep staircase, which is a tell tale sign that those were once used to reach the balcony of the theater to gaze at the wonder of cinema.

College Aspirations Encouraged

SUBMITTED PHOTO

By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner

Now entering its third year of implementation at Daly Middle School and Lakeview High School, a revolutionary new program called Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) is helping develop a college-going culture among students. Beginning with seventh grade students for the 2013-14 school year, the program came recommendation to Lakeview High School Principal Steve Prock byway of a friend who taught at a school in Idaho, where the AVID program originated. At the time AVID had been implemented in many Idaho and California schools, but was an unknown in Oregon. Through support of the Lake County School District #7 board of directors, a site council was formed comprised of teachers to undertake specialty training for implementation of AVID in Lakeview schools, relaying the new teaching strategies to other faculty for a school-wide change in teaching strategies. Today AVID is sweeping across Oregon schools, with Lakeview well ahead of the curve, already seeing the positive impacts. An allencompassing strategy to change the way students take notes, develop reading strategies, approach classroom behavior and study; all focus is on developing habits necessary for college preparation to help at-risk students who may not otherwise consider college or post-high school training as an option after high school graduation. Now in over 4,800 schools across 45 states, AVID in Lakeview has seen not only improvement in students directly involved in AVID elect coursework but a gauged interest from other students, having a positive effect on the entire school’s culture. Teaching strategies relayed from the site council are taught during professional development sessions each Wednesday and implemented in classrooms the following day. This provides a more strategic and researchbased method for teachers to be able to engage and connect with students in a meaningful way. Adding AVID was seen by Prock as a way to continue earlier literacy programs established in an effort to

ease the difficult transition from elementary to middle school and improve test scores. “AVID strategies are becoming a common theme in all of our classrooms,” said Prock. “From Cornell note-taking to reading strategies, organizational binders and interactive notebooks, we are now hearing a common vocabulary among all students throughout the day.” The AVID program targets a 20 percent representation of each class student body, beginning that first year with just 21 students as a test model. New candidates for the AVID program are referred by teachers, then begin an interview process to see if they meet the criteria required before joining the program. AVID is completely voluntary, and students may withdraw if they so choose, but according to Prock thus far they have held a nearly 100 percent retention rate. Incorporated into AVID is not only a structured redefinition of how a student takes notes, strategizes study habits and organizes work, but also implements tutoring sessions in a School Wide Avid Team (SWAT) program. Through SWAT, advisors oversee small sessions with AVID students and tutors for implementation of different AVID strategies, assuring that AVID students receive hands-on guidance in their work. While the program normally dictates tutors be college students, Lake County’s remoteness has led to high school seniors acting as tutors. Further development of Klamath Community College’s Lakeview campus may eventually connect current college students with AVID students, providing a mentoring connection to show how AVID strategies directly apply to success in college academics. While some aspects of AVID are only for the students in the program takASPIRATIONS ing AVID elect courses, it has a trickleSee page 74 down effect on a school-wide level

from all faculty undergoing AVID professional development and AVID strategies included in all classrooms. Expansion of the program welcomes new seventh grade students into learning AVID strategies each year. The program continues with each student through high school graduation. School administrators and AVID teachers meet with targeted students to gauge interest, which according to Prock has grown since the first year. “Kids that didn’t think college is a reality said this is a program that can help me because they want to go college,” said Prock. “Parents are finding out too and encouraging them to get involved. Now nearly every teacher resume` we look at highlights AVID training.” The program does come with a price tag, in that multi-day training sessions in San Diego and visits to AVID schools in Idaho where the program has been developed statewide are mandatory each year for the program overseers. As AVID has grown in Oregon, Nike has shown interest in its development, Lake County School District #7 being one of several districts to receive a Nike School Fund grant to cover travel costs along with support of the school district. Training from a staffing perspective

is rigid and intense. The AVID program requires a district coordinator overseeing operations, though LCSD#7 may be able to utilize a shared coordinator with other districts due to population. Considering the size of LCSD#7 a reduced AVID trained staff is permitted, requiring a counselor, lead teacher, two subject area teachers and a building administrator. The AVID program is a three-year commitment, with teachers requiring specific 3-4 day training sessions in the AVID program. “I think the more AVID training we do, the more I listen to AVID kids talk. They’ll point to AVID and the teachers and support they receive in the program as the reason they are going to go to college, whereas otherwise they wouldn’t have had that opportunity,” said Prock. While the program is still developing, administrators are excited to gauge tangible data from returning AVID students to see how much of an effect it has on testing, attendance and grades as well as eventually graduation rates. “Talk to an AVID kid and they say, ‘I am going to college,” said Brandi Harris, school counselor, at a 2015 LCSD#7 board meeting. “There is no doubt about it in their minds, some students may exit out because they no longer need support and are on track.

Pool is a popular pastime at the Waterin’ Hole Tavern, letting local ranchers wind down after a long day with a game. Gary and Zack Morse get in a quick game after a busy work day. By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner After growing up in Fort Rock spending days and nights enjoying all that the Waterin’ Hole Tavern offered, for Sean Tuttle it was a no-brainer to buy the bar when it became available, if nothing else to assure that the popular landmark would remain in local hands. “I was born and raised in Fort Rock, and it’s always been a staple here,” said Tuttle, who purchased the business in 2015. “I’ve been getting hamburgers and sodas here since I was five years old. I just didn’t want to see an out-of-towner buy it.” First established as a John Deere deal-

ership in 1953, the building has evolved over time. The next owners turned it into a bar, eventually adding a restaurant and social center for the small northern Lake County community. Tuttle has fond memories as a kid of getting food at the Waterin’ Hole and hanging out outside, and once of age spending many nights enjoying all that the business offered. “I probably would have kicked myself out a few times,” laughed Tuttle, recalling a few of the more rowdy occasions from his youth. “There have been a lot of fun times here.” Taking a don’t-break-what-isn’t-broken mentality, since assuming ownership of the business Tuttle has kept much of it status quo, keeping largely the same menu while

adding a few cosmetic touches. A licensed hunting guide and hay rancher by trade, Tuttle wants to bring back a hunting aspect to the atmosphere, covering the walls with pictures of successful hunts around the region. Tuttle hopes to start having musicians perform live once a month, and is considering karaoke nights and pool tournaments as more ways to draw in a crowd. An ample back room also allows plenty of space for community and club meetings. The Waterin’ Hole Tavern features a pool table, beers on tap, an outdoor patio, RV parking and a full menu that has gained a repPOPULAR PASTIME utation in particSee page 78 ular for

In addition to Tuttle, who claims the titles of owner and “free-beer moocher”, Mariah Zigler, Judith Collom and Becca Sawyer round out the staff operating the bar and kitchen. While the business is technically open from noon until 8 p.m. seven days a week, often the Waterin’ Hole stays open late into the night happily accommodating regulars and new faces stopping by after a long day of travel on the highway. Hospitality is a big factor in the Waterin’ Hole’s success, establishing a good reputation for being welcoming of everybody. During holidays they will often have a special menu, such as this year hosting an Irish corned beef and cabbage meal on St. Patrick’s Day. During the summer months when the U.S. Forest Service and fire fighters establish camps nearby for fire season, the Waterin’ Hole becomes packed late nights and weekends with firefighters looking to unwind after a long day. Tuttle also noted groups that will travel through often, such as motorcycle clubs that make it a point to stay overnight in Fort Rock. While it sounds like things could get rowdy, Tuttle says it’s all in fun with a

focus on good times with things rarely if ever escalating to trouble. “Very seldom is there any drama,” added Tuttle. “We’re all about good people, good times and are always hospitable.” While hay season and hunting season detracts from Tuttle’s focus on the business, the rest of the time he and his staff can be found grilling up hamburgers, dishing out beers on tap, or simply providing a friendly greeting to all who enter, assuring that Fort Rock’s popular hangout will remain a mainstay for many years to come. Long-term plans include possible construction of motel rooms behind the business adjacent to RV parking currently available. For now though, the team at the Waterin’ Hole Tavern is happy to simply welcome everyone who passes through town with a beer, burger and game of pool. “I’m planning on staying here, I don’t plan on ever getting rid of it,” said Tuttle. “I hope that my daughter will take it over when I get old and cantankerous.” The Waterin’ Hole Tavern is located at 61983 Pitcher Rd. in Fort Rock.

Vision for Accessible Higher Education

KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner

By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner

Lakeview’s Daly Middle School has been revitalized as the Innovation and Learning Center, which includes a satellite campus of Klamath Community College utilizing video technology to connect live with classrooms on the Klamath Falls main campus.

It began with a casual conversation between a Lake County School superintendent and Klamath Community College (KCC) Pres. Roberto Gutierrez. Both shared a vision for higher education in Lake County, and in partnering with Lake County Resource Initiative set in motion the process of establishing what would become the Innovation and Learning Center (ILC). Fast forward three years and KCC’s Lakeview campus, just one aspect of a larger encompassing ILC, is just one hub of a distance learning program providing college level courses throughout southern Oregon. Establishing video synchronous classrooms connecting to class lectures on the KCC campus as well as providing inhouse class lectures, KCC’s Lakeview campus has for several years operated multiple classrooms providing college course credit for the first time in Lake County. The technology has proven so effective that synchronous classrooms have also been built at Lakeview, North Lake and Paisley High Schools and at Lake District Hospital. Beyond Lake County’s borders, synchronous classrooms have also been added at Bonanza, Chiloquin and Lost River high schools with talk of also including Burns High School soon, all utilizing the ILC as the test model for replication. Providing dual credit opportunities for high school students and adult education alike, for the first time students can pursue higher education without leaving Lake County’s borders. For kids growing up in small rural areas, it’s an added benefit being able to

adjust to college-level academics in familiar surroundings rather than be flung into the socially intimidating aspect of life at a large university, where the student population may vastly exceed that of the entirety of Lake County. Cheryl Eniero is the Lake County program coordinator for KCC, working to coordinate expansion of the KCC Lakeview campus and add new programs and classes while work continues on expanding the ILC. Construction background noise has been common as crews work to add an elevator, new library and student union, and work continues on the upper floor of the building with plans for an eventual auditorium space. As the facilities have improved so too has student enrollment, exceeding 50 students for the spring 2016 term taking a total of 503 credit hours, up from 399 credit hours for the 2015 spring term. “We’re fortunate to be here, it is unprecedented to be able to offer higher education here,” said Eniero. “By this summer we will be graduating seven students, and last year we graduated seven as well. Most will then transfer to a four-year university to pursue their Bachelor’s Degree, this helps ease the transition and get an understanding of the workload involved in college.” Providing many general education HIGHER EDUCATION courses as the foundation for most deSee page 82 gree programs, the ILC’s classrooms are

packed most days from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. providing college-level coursework to help students work towards an Associateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Degree. Many high school students have taken advantage to earn college credit, one student graduating in 2015 even earning their high school diploma and Associateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Degree simultaneously. Eniero hopes to further establish specialty programs, with a nursing program already operating and plans for welding classes and others to help further train the local Lake County workforce and establish internship programs. There has even been plans for students to establish their own podcasts. With the KCC Lakeview campus firmly established, a new focus is on providing more of a college atmosphere. Two students are now mentors, while student clubs are springing up and the library has become a social center for KCC students. Lakeview students connect with the main KCC campus in Klamath Falls whenever possible beyond the classroom setting, many being bussed out to the Klamath campus in the spring for a Monte Carlo social event. Eniero has organized Christmas parties and parade floats as other ways to bring a stronger unity to the student body as a real col-

lege experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want this to be a college experience, not just a place to come take classes,â&#x20AC;? added Eniero. The successes of the ILC experiment have not gone unnoticed. In March Dr. Gutierrez visited Lakeview High School to meet with the public and praise the efforts of the ILC, while detailing grand plans for further expansion of similar synchronous classroom operations at high schools across Oregon and beyond. With the Oregon Department of Education establishing an online AP credit class structure designed to offer college classes to high school students for programs not available at their schools, the synchronous classroom model is a symbiotic relationship to grow a college-going culture in Oregon for even the most rural and isolated of regions. The process hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come without lessons learned inside the classroom and out, as there are certain growing pains for both students and professors in adjusting to video conferencing technology for lectures rather than being in the same classroom. Still, the experiment has proven an unbelievable success, one that not only will enhance education for Lake County but be used as a model for rural areas across the country to provide

While most of KCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classes use a synchronous video system seen here in the background, some classes are taught by in-house instructors, such as Dr. Emma Cornellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Speech 111 Introduction to Public Speaking course. college-level coursework to its populous.

Jay and Connie Orueta, owners of Ana Reservoir RV Park do their best to provide comfort for any and all visitors who visit their Summer Lake location getaway. By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner

Tucked away in the heart of the Oregon Outback just north of Summer Lake, Ana Reservoir RV Park acts as a destination for vacationers and all sorts of outdoorsmen. With it being not too far from the civilization of Bend but far enough off the beaten path, the area and the park’s facilities attract visitors who wish for a day, weekend or longer to soak in the quiet nature. The property was acquired by Jay and Connie Orueta in 2006, it was previously first opened about 1999. “We purchased it because it was a good opportunity,” reasoned Jay. The couple lived in Redmond at the time, traveling back and forth on weekends to man the business. In 2012, Jay finally sold his business, an onsite mobile shredding company that serviced central Oregon and the Klamath Basin, and made the move to Summer Lake. Jay remembered before making the purchase and move that he was camping at Thompson Reservoir, which is near Summer Lake, and decided to look for property

to purchase in the area. He said that he was familiar and enjoyed the high desert topography, having lived in California’s, making his move better. While looking for properties to buy, which were sparse at the time, he came to Lakeview to go through Summer Lake records on his search. When he saw the RV park in Summer Lake, it was all he was looking for though he didn’t know it at the time. “We weren’t looking for an RV park, we were looking for recreational property,” he said. “Ranching and recreation is what makes up Summer Lake.” People who take pleasure in the latter are who come out to utilize Ana Reservoir RV’s facilities since the recreational possibilities are essentially endless. From April through deer and duck hunting seasons, there is a large count of hobbyists who make the park their home for a brief stint. Particularly, the fishing at Ana Reservoir is major. “It’s what seems to be what it is all about,” he said. Always stocked is red striped bass,

and nothing below 12 inches. “Because it’s a reservoir and spring fed, it never runs out of water,” Jay said. Other outdoors adventures include exploring the Paisley Caves, Fort Rock and Connelly Caves near Silver Lake. Jay added that Dr. Dennis Jenkins of the University of Oregon has had a habit of taking interested people out to points of ancient history in the area. There are also trails for hiking, though he wouldn’t consider it “heavy” strain by any stretch, and geo-caching. Another recreation endeavor is ATV and adventure riders, who take their vehicles out all day to ride around BLM-managed lands. The RV Park’s majority of visitors are semi-retired and retired people as well as family vacationers, though it varies from season to season. There are also a handful of groups who make use of the area such as SECLUSION Good Sam Club, See page 86 Wally Byum

SECLUSION From page 84 Caravan Club International, and Escapees and other archaeology and local attraction groups. Each time these organizations make a visit, Jay and his staff do all they can to make them feel welcome and accommodate any need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do whatever we need to do to make it a good happening for everybody,â&#x20AC;? he said. These groups hold what he calls â&#x20AC;&#x153;rallies,â&#x20AC;? leading them to rent a camping yurt from Summer Lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Waters family for their meetings or happy hours if so requested. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our patrons like it because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remote and peaceful. There are no sirens, trucks, trains or plane noise,â&#x20AC;? Jay said. He added that some of his patrons ask if there is wi-fi on the premises, which he has to reply negatively. Usually their response is positive since it takes one distraction out of the equation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people who come out here tell us that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so relaxing,â&#x20AC;? Jay said. Ana Reservoir RV Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commodities are wide enough for any visitor to feel comfortable. With 24 RV spots, all pull-through and with power and water, 16 of them include sewer. In the middle of the provisions, the office building also accommodates a bathhouse and laundry facility.

Keeping Roping Alive By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Every July during Paisley’s Mosquito Festival, rodeo participants from all over come together for three days of horseback competition.

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Paisley Rodeo Club’s Board consists of Alexa VanBelle, l-r, Jason Kruse, Brady Murphy, Jolie Murphy, Daphne Story, Jimmy VanBelle, Bob Story and Dave Shanahan.

Every Thursday night, Paisley’s rodeo grounds is active with ropers and their families putting to practice skills that are integral in the ranching profession. These events and others in the calendar year are thanks to the volunteers that are part of the Paisley Rodeo Club, LLC. Though recently becoming an LLC, it started out in the 1990’s and went through different changes through various hands before making it in a club in 2014. With every membership in the club, cowboys and cowgirls can make it up for practice nights from April to October. Most of the time it helms about 10-20 participants each time it is hosted. “It’s our fun time,” said board member Brady Murphy. “We visit with our friends and neighbors and make our horses better than they are. It’s like community basketball in the wintertime.” He said that the ranching and rodeo tradition is important to preserve. Murphy added that the difference between working on the ranch and rodeo competitions is that the latter is much faster than

the former. The club’s top event is during the Mosquito Festival weekend in July. Events Friday through Sunday bring talent from all over the region, including Harney, Klamath and Modoc counties, Nevada and Idaho. On Friday there are cutting events, Saturday there is ranch rodeo and on Sunday there is team branding and doctoring events. Murphy said that these are typically riders who worked at the ZX Ranch or have other local ties to Paisley. One of the unique things about this weekend is that they bring in long-horned cattle as a pull event. Another occasion that brings people in is on Memorial Day weekend, when they offer a saddle to the overall winner. Other than these two events, there are similar-sized roping competitions sprinkled in. “It’s been really fun seeing it grow,” said Murphy “It has gone from a one weekend deal to a whole bunch. Everyone is real excited about it.” He said that these ropings give a good option to cowboys to participate in over the weekend without having to drive for hours for the same event. By holding these occasional events, it also has the benefit of bringing in more people into the area. Murphy is elated that those who take part in these events are continuously a pleasure to work with. “We are lucky for the people who come and are always great sports,” he said. “It takes the people to make it run. As long as we get to keep it fun for everybody, that’s what it’s all about.” A major part of this is because the club strives to keep the events as traditional as possible. With the fun of roping on a weekly basis comes the work.

ROPING FUN From page 88 accommodating structures for rodeo participants and observers to enjoy. “There’s a lot we would like to do, but it will take money and time,” said Murphy. He added that in the 1980’s the arena burned down, which is about the time his father, Martin Murphy, started the organization. Area ranchers pooled together resources to rebuild it, putting in countless hours to make it what it is now. Though the arena is equipped with the essentials to house ropings and events, the board is looking to put in a chute and alleys in the near future. “We are keeping an eye on one project per year,” said Murphy, adding that small touches such as repainting buildings makes the arena much nicer than before. The beasts that keep these events going are leased from a ranch in Joseph. About 30 head are brought in and maintained to ensure that there are animals to rope when the time comes. The organization’s board consists of Brady Murphy, Jimmy VanBelle, Bob Story, Daphne Story, Jolie Murphy, Jason Cruz, Dave Shanahan and Alexa VanBelle. One focus that the Board is always focusing on is making these events a family affair. Kids events such as barrel races and pole bending are always an attraction. Murphy is a Paisley High School 2000 graduate, returning nine years ago to the area after attending college in Albany and working on Drews Valley Ranch and in Silver Lake. His wife, Jolie, who is a Board member, graduated from North Lake High School and moved back to Paisley. Together, they have two kids, Katie and Everett. “I love it here,” said Murphy. “I wouldn’t change it.” Currently they help out on the Murphy Ranch in Paisley, looking to take over the horse breeding operation, a goal that Murphy has had his sights on for quite a while.

Brady and Jolie Murphy strive to carry on the rodeo tradition in Paisley by carrying forward the Paisley Rodeo Club for all interested cowboys and cowgirls.

“It took a lot of people to get where (the rodeo grounds are) now,” said Murphy. “We are making it so a broader range of people can rope and get out on weekends.” For more information about the Paisley Rodeo Club, contact Murphy at 541-219-1541 or visit its Facebook page at www.facebook. com/PRCLLC.

Center Supplies Role Models and Amusement

SUBMITTED PHOTO

By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner

Even in a rural community of a population of no more than 2,000, it’s often hard to find a fun outlet for elementary, middle and high school students when they aren’t busy doing homework or playing a sport. Luckily for North Lake residents of Christmas Valley and Silver Lake, the Silver Lake Youth Center (SLYC) holds weekly gettogethers that has the mission of developing relationships with young and old as well as sharing each other’s company. Founded in 2006 by Darrell and Iline Anderson, the SLYC started out with just a group of kids at Floweree Park in the summer when they would have a barbecue and play games every week. When school began and rough weather set in, they ceased the weekly tradition, causing the participants to wonder how they were going to car-

ry on the fun. The former school house in Silver Lake had been empty for upwards of 20 years, so Darrell asked the owner, Martin Pernoll, if he would be welcome to open it up for weekly activities. He agreed, but needed some repairs to make it usable. Darrell remembered that Pernoll asked for a bill for the materials, but didn’t give them since he felt it was his responsibility to do all the necessary fixing up, picking up the tab himself. The following year, the SLYC became a 501c3 non-profit and leased the premises to use. In 2006, Darrell, who is the pastor of Christ the King Community Church, handed over the reins of the center and weekly endeavors to his grandson, Jon Anderson. Jon said that the goal of the SLYC is to give kids of North

Lake a place to go and develop relationships and be invested by adults, who act as a support in their lives. On Friday nights, youth nights are held from 6-8 p.m. at the center. Anderson said that he strives to make these nights as structured as possible with free time for about 20 minutes then games for a half hour. They then have dinner, usually something as simple as spaghetti that is prepared by the Andersons. These nights are aimed to be relaxed for the kids where they can come and be themselves, be open and come out of their shells. “It’s a comfortable environment,” said Anderson. He added that the adult leaders try not to be strict and are not there to discipline them but to lead and encourage them. “We aren’t trying to teach them anything except any life lessons that

may come up,” he said. The kids are then set loose for more free time and then sent home by 8 p.m. To help parents get their kids to and from the center in Silver Lake, a shuttle van transports them from Christmas Valley departing at 5:30 p.m. and returning at 8:30 p.m. This bus was bought for the church and youth center. The youth center is funded in large part by a monthly auction. As a consignment auction, donors give 25 percent of the total selling price to the center, keeping the rest for themselves while some give 100 percent. With donations given by community members, the funds

The building used for these occasions can also host movie nights and includes pool, air hockey, foosball and ping pong tables for leisure as well as indoor sports. Outside, when weather is pleasant, the kids can play baseball on the fields. The center also plays host to two recreational yearly events, Cycle Oregon and the Cascade Relay in July. Both use Silver Lake as a rest area as volunteers provide refreshements until participants carry on to their next checkpoint. “It helps kids to have an outlet and healthy and safe place to go to be with friends, where they can be themselves while staying out of trouble,” said Anderson. “I think it helps them to be around an adult mentor who isn’t their parent or teacher. We are somewhere in the middle to help raise them up to be good citizens.” Anderson said that he wants to act as the same model that he had when he grew up. Paying the favor back by serving in this capacity is where his heart lays. “I wouldn’t be where I am without them,” he said. For more information, contact Jon Anderson at 503-983-1968.

Christmas Valley’s golf course, run by North Lake Parks and Recreation, attracts avid golfers from around the region to its low stress and well-maintained course.

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Christmas Valley Community Hall plays host to many events including clubs, sewing and quilting groups and the Christmas Valley Holiday Bazaar, which is shown here. By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner As Christmas Valley’s only governing body in the north end of Lake County, North Lake Parks and Recreation (NLPR) district oversees a multitude of facilities that allow residents from all over the region to enjoy. “We’re not a typical recreation district,” said NLPR Dir Mark Russell. “We are more geared toward every age group and manage the facilities to organizations that use the facilities.” Along with Christmas Valley’s Chamber of Commerce and other groups around the expanse, the organization helps put together a plethora of events throughout the year. Russell said that the district was developed by the Penn Phillips Company in the 1960’s as a means to persuade land buyers to come into the area. The real estate developer built the NLPR lodge, Baert Lake, golf course, airport and rodeo grounds to help accomplish this purpose. When the company was done with its construction 1963, all the facilities were turned over to a recreation district. A major attraction that brings people from afar is the ninehole golf course located next to the NLPR clubhouse. Russell said that at the time it was a “cutting edge course” since a high profile creator designed it and it was the longest course of the hole count in Oregon at the time, going a half-mile out and a half-mile back. “It’s

not the best course in the whole spectrum of courses,” said Russell, adding that for its budget it is one of the best. A small volunteer maintenance staff that ensures the greens and fairways are taken care of from April to November helps this. Russell recalled that a La Pine golfer comes a few times per week to play a round since there is no wait. Golfers don’t need to sign up for a tee time and payment is by honor system through oneday use or memberships. “Our rule is as long as there isn’t any frost on the greens, you’re free to golf,” said Russell. One of the hazards along the course is Lake Baert, which at one time has hosted water skiing, according to Russell. From time to time, anglers can try to catch a small bass every once in a while or can bring their own fish to catch. The lake is also sometimes used to scoop up water by Bureau of Land Management (BLM) fire crews and is filled out of the water tank managed by the Water District. Another facility that the whole community takes advantage of is the Community Hall. Its uses include the Weekend Market twice per month, County Commissioners meetings, a walking group three times per month, sewing and crafts groups and public board meetings such as the aforementioned Water District. Commodities include a kitchen, which is being remodeled, for food preparation, restrooms, parking and a Bingo board that is used twice per month for Bingo nights, conducted by the district. Under the umbrella of NLPR is the airport. Russell has been told that it is the only airport that is under the eye of any Parks and Recreation district in the country. It is mainly used NORTH LAKE FUN as a destination for pilot training schools See page 98 out of Bend to practice

NORTH LAKE FUN From page 96 touch-and-go take-offs and landings. There are around a dozen private hangars, parking for 18 planes and it has recently undergone a $2.4 million project to make a taxiway parallel to the runway and repair to parking aprons and helipad. This project that came from a Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) grant had matching funds from the state lottery commission to complete and five years of planning and grant writing. The airport shares its history with the rest of the district, formed by the Phillips Company to fly in Californian perspective land buyers when it was just a dirt runway. Since then private pilots and those who fly in to talk to farmers about their agriculture utilize it. This activity has seen a bump of 10 percent in flights, acting as a boom to the community since it supports the local economy. Airport Mgr. Ron Wilson said that if there were a natural disaster, they have been asked to prepare to welcome upwards of 10,000 refugees. The final facility that is managed is the rodeo grounds. Russell reported that it unfortunately doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see too much use as far as events go, but it is used for private exercises for training horses. To publicize everything going on in the township of Christmas Valley, Dir. Russell is the lead hand behind the bi-monthly Desert Whispers publication. Coming from the world of graphics, he was a shoe-in to continue the tabloid periodical. Russell previously worked in marketing graphic design, printing and on his collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newspaper staff. Though Russell is the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contact point for all things NLPR, a board of five members makes decisions at meetings held once per month. The members include Shara Shumway, Ron Wilson, Wanda Lanier, Glenna Wade and Barbara Ferrando. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like any board, there are more ideas than manpower,â&#x20AC;? said Russell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes someone to put the rubber to the road to get it

Sand Dunes Offer Outdoor Good Times

By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner

As the largest inland shifting sand dune system in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, according to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the Christmas Valley Sand Dunes act as an oasis for any type of motor recreationist looking for a thrill of the open sand and close-quartered trails. Since open year-round, some hobbyists cruise the dunes on snowboards when the winter months shed some snow on the area. The main draw comes when the weather just begins to heat up. Its most popular time of year is Memorial Day weekend, having seen 3,000 or more people using the dunes in past years. According to Lake County Sheriff’s Deputy Thomas Roark, when it comes to the Fourth of July festivities, people still come out the woodwork, but it gets relatively hot coupled with the barrage of alkali dust that causes motorists slight discomfort in the midsummer months.

Motorists from all over the region take advantage of the wide-open spaces of BLM-managed, Sheriff patrolled Christmas Valley Sand Dunes.

The nearly 8,900 square acres of dunes are open to off-highway-vehicle (OHV) use, hiking, sightseeing, photography, and camping. The dunes are primarily composed of ash and pumice that blew into the area 7,000 years ago when Mount Mazama erupted to form Crater Lake. Over the years, BLM along with the cooperation of the Lake County Sheriff’s Department helped mould the site to become what it is now known to be: a safe, family-friendly destination. Deputy Roark said that this is in large part due to effective law enforcement. On-duty deputies conduct safety compliance checks, making sure that riders have their helmets, gear and OHV safety cards. “When I started, it was nothing but tents,” he said. “Now, when you go out, there are motor homes, toy haulers, families and little junior running around with his electric four-wheeler. It’s a totally different atmo-

sphere.” Since the area is managed by Lakeview BLM District, Lake County Sheriff’s Department is contracted to put in man-hours to patrol it. About $10,000-15,000 per year is provided to work the sand dunes, said Deputy Roark, coming down to what they pay for a position in the county. In large part, this is due to the amount of hours that the Sheriff’s staff puts into patrolling the area. Deputy Roark recalled that it was a lot more unruly in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. In the early 2000’s, the BLM put up money for sand rails for the Sheriff’s department to utilize in the dunes. They purchased two Generation 1 Funco sand rails. “In doing that, we saw a lot of interaction with the recreationists,” he explained. By SAND DUNES doing this, there See page 102 are fewer

SAND DUNES From page 100

Not just for motorcycles and four-wheelers, any type of ATV can make good use of the rolling dunes located just northeast of Christmas Valley.

crashes when compared to before, making a safer atmosphere for the entire crowd. Allowed on the dunes are four-wheelers, motorcycles and class 1, 2 and 3 ATVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Coupled with the sand dunes is the more claustrophobic but just as amusing Lost Forest Research Natural Area. Located just north of the dunes, the forest is a remnant of a forest that existed in a cooler and wetter age, reads a BLM pamphlet about the area. The nearest forest is 40 miles to the northwest, yet the pines continue to reproduce and thrive in the environment. Motorized vehicles are allowed in the Lost Forest on routes posted as â&#x20AC;&#x153;openâ&#x20AC;? with no cross country use allowed. Deputy Roark expounded that the recreation sites bring in a considerable amount for Christmas Valley commerce. Crowds begin showing up in March and continue throughout the warmer months, though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not uncommon to find them even in colder times of the year. In order to get to the dunes, travel east on County Road 5-14 for eight miles, turn left on County Road 5-14D and travel another eight miles. Turn right at the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tâ&#x20AC;? and travel three miles on County Road 5-14E to the entrance. Another four miles on Bureau of Land Management Road 6155 will bring any travel to the Lost Forest. For more information, contact Lakeview BLM District at 541-947-2177 or Deputy Roark at 541-9476027.
