Burkholder:
Spirit of
Volunteerism By Ryan Bonham Lake County Examiner RYAN BONHAM/ Lake County Examiner
Lake County may seem to be located far out on the eastern horizon for those who hail from the larger western metropolitan areas, but that’s just fine for Lakeview resident Bernice Burkholder. In her own words, she’s a small-town girl. Burkholder, 91, known by most as ‘Bernie,’ has called the community home for the past 36 years, having moved to the area with her late husband, Ken, in 1977, following his retirement from the Bureau of Land Management. In those years, she has managed to keep plenty busy with no shortage of local volunteer opportunities. Since 1978, she has been actively involved with First Presbyterian Church, and many folks will recognize her from her efforts with the Lake County Food Share program, which helps supply food to those in need. The church also formerly operated a food pantry program, which Burkholder helped operate. She estimated she’s volunteered for 18 years in total with the Food Share program, and 16 years with First Presbyterian Church’s food pantry. “It means a lot, because I feel it’s one of my duties to see that
people have enough food,” she said. “I realize, in looking back at my life, that I’ve always been for the underdog.” Other areas in which Bernie has kept busy included serving as a volunteer when the Lake County Public Library district was first formed and supporting the Lake Health District general obligation bond campaign that supported the newly remodeled and expanded Lake District Hospital facility. She’s also an avid supporter of recycling. More recently, Burkholder actively worked with a committee seeking to establish a local retirement center for seniors, providing an option for those that do not want to move from the area while maintaining mostly independent living. “I know there is a need, there,” she said, “and something will work itself out.” Burkholder originally hails from the Midwest, namely from the small farming town of Garner, Iowa, which is located between Des Moines and Minneapolis, Minn., in the northern part of the state. Bernie VOLUNTEER SPIRIT was the second-to-youngest of 12 chilSee page 6 dren. She spent the first 20-plus years of

her life there, where she taught high school for four years. Bernie’s training included a liberal arts degree from the University of Iowa, and later she earned a master’s degree in creative dramatics from the University of Washington. “I liked the kids, but I didn’t like the way the schools were run,” she said. “We just don’t learn alike. We try to put everyone in the same box, and it just doesn’t work.” It was while visiting her brother, Dick, in Bend that she happened to meet Ken Burkholder, the man she would marry in 1951. As it happened, the two men met in Germany during World War II, as they were assigned to the same Army Engineering Corps group. When they returned stateside, Ken helped Dick get a job with the state’s board of forestry and, later, with the BLM. Bernie and Ken got acquainted through her visit to Oregon and, as she puts it, “it developed into a marriage.” The couple married in Bend in 1951. Burkholder said her husband discovered Lakeview during his travels for the BLM, as he regularly visited varied district offices. The Burkholders moved to Lakeview from the Portland area, where their children, son Tom and daughter Harriet, spent their formative years and received their
schooling. Ken and Bernie initially lived on a ranch south of town, eventually realizing it was beyond their ability from a maintenance standpoint, so they eventually sold it to son Tom and his wife, Kathy. “We couldn’t resist, so we moved into town,” she said. The couple’s marriage lasted for nearly six decades – 58 years in total – as Ken passed away in 2009. Bernie still has plenty

of familial roots in the Lakeview community, however, as her grandson Kevin still lives in the area, along with Tom, and daughter-inlaw, Kathie. Granddaughter Kelly currently lives in Eugene, where she is pursuing a master’s degree in sports medicine at the University of Oregon, while granddaughter Eryn Burkholder lives in La Grande, working in sports medicine and therapy. Grandson Eli Smith, the oldest son of daughter Harriet, lives in Seattle, and has a child, Augustus or ‘Augie,’ who Bernie noted proudly is her first greatgrandchild. Two other grandchildren, Robyn and Alan Smith, currently live in Hawaii. In reflecting upon her years in Lake County, Bernie recognized the stark contrast of environments between Lakeview and Portland. “I lived in Portland, and hardly knew any neighbors,” she said. “I’m a small-town girl, and like to know my neighbors.” The friendly factor has made Lakeview a place of great fondness for her, and she has enjoyed partaking in local events and activities in addition to her volunteer efforts. “I just want to keep it going,” Bernie said. “Keep it strong. Keep good communication going, because we always run into hurdles, sometimes.”

Winery of
Wild
Proportion ANTHONY BURROLA/ Lake County Examiner
By Anthony Burrola Lake County Examiner
Wineries are a dime-a-dozen commodity in California. As of 2010, The Golden State boasted a robust 3,364 active wineries. To put that into perspective, that’s almost half the total of the entire country, which yielded 7,626 that same year. Of those 3,364, only a select few utilize the wild plum, or Prunus Americana Marsh, for their products. Stringer’s Orchard, however, built its business exclusively around the wild plum, which, according to its owner, is indigenous to only 4 counties in the California, Oregon and Nevada tristate area. In 1984, Roy Stringer Sr., Joanne K. Stringer, and their son, John Stringer started the family-owned operation. John Stringer currently owns and operates the business himself, working from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. The orchard is open from April to Christmas, like clockwork every year. January to March is the dreaded dead season, as the cold sets in and the tourists, his main source of business, dissipate. As Stringer notes, “People aren’t traveling too much that time of year.”
Stringer’s Orchard is south of Lakeview on Hwy 395 about 15 miles. Over the years they have expanded their repertoire from jams, jellies and wine to gin and brandy.
But he hardly laments that, exclaiming, “It’s nice to have a break.” For processing the products, Stringer hires about 4 to 6 employees. Their work is seasonal, though. While employed, the employees’ responsibilities are pitting, picking plums, processing, making jams, making syrup, and bottling wine. The picking-process involves the use of a tree-shaker to shake the plums loose, and once loose, mesh tarps catch the fallen plums. The facility is connected to the factory, where all the processing takes place, and it is also available for touring. The method requires a lot of hard work and repetition. “Most of the time, though,” he said, “It’s so easygoing and quiet that I just do it myself.” In the early days, Stringer’s Orchard specialized in making only a few products. They honed their crafts, making a name for themselves with longevity and consistency, as well as a splash of humility. “It’s amazing we’ve been in business all these years,” he said. “We’ve been doing wine, jam, and syrup for 23 years.”
But that’s not the only thing that’s kept Stringer in business for so long. He has also added new products to the menu. “The last 6 years we started doing brandy and liqueur,” he said, “and for the last two years we started doing gin and plum gin.” The plum brandy, a recent addition to his menu, has earned Stringer some nice hardware, as he has entered it into the California State Fair twice, in 2008 and 2011, and came home with a silver medal both times. For any wine in a state fair whose state produces more than half of the country’s wine, that’s impressive; for a new wine to enter the competition twice and win awards in as many tries is unfathomable. To keep up with rapidly changing world, Stringer has taken multiple steps. He added menu items, and even offers ice cream in the summer that he drizzles his homemade plum jam over. The most prudent, though, has been his website,

www.stringersorchard.com, which can be used to view the products, make orders, schedule tours, or contact Stringer himself. Stringer’s Orchard is available for touring any time during its hours of operation. It’s on a walk-in basis, provided it is not too busy, and he is even amenable to large groups. He prefers, for their benefit, that large groups schedule in advance, though. “If there are big groups, they can let me know they’re coming and I can set up wine and cheese and crackers,” he said, “and they can pour their own, and I can give them tours.” Springer’s Orchard can be found along the Hwy 395, just south of the seamless border that blends southeastern Oregon with northeastern California. It is a beautifully designed, well-run facility, with a wide range of wild plum-based products to offer. Exiting off the highway and entering onto Springer’s Orchard is as easy as it is encouraged. “It’s easy here,” he said, “the kids can play, the dogs can run. I try to make it a nice, fun place to stop.” The entrance is a mini meadow, complete with park benches for picnicking, a wide enough yard for visiting families’ dogs to run freely, and a scenic view of the produce from the trees that they are plucked, all of which are welcomed by the owner. Stringer notes that one thing he has yet to do is host a wedding, but added that one of his daughters would like to have her wedding there. While he has no plans to start hosting weddings, he is not averse to the idea. As for the future of the company, Stringer is most excited about his recent addition to his plum-based family: the gin and plum gin. The regular gin is good for martinis and gin and tonics, and the plum gin is fairly sweet and only 20 percent alcohol. It sold more than any of his other products last year. To quote the owner, “It’s plum good.”

Perky Pick-MeUp in Paisley Paisley local Al Bailie enjoys coffee and conversation with Gwen Duckworth at the Paisley Perk coffee hut. Photos and Story By Toni Bailie Special to the Lake County Examiner The Paisley Perk Coffee Hut has become a hub for locals who stop by for their favorite espresso drink, and often relax at one of the outdoor tables for a friendly visit. The Perk also serves as an information booth for travelers who stop for a beverage and ask for directions or an update on local events. “I get a lot of questions about where to buy gas on Sundays,” says barista Gwen Duckworth. Jolie Murphy originally established the Perk at the triangle in downtown Paisley. In 2009, she purchased the hut from her former boss at Outlaw Coffee in Bend. She and her mother Janice Hamlington endured a comedy of errors when they hauled the structure to its present site. Multiple blowouts and an axel fire closed the Division Street exit on the Bend Parkway for a few hours while tow trucks maneuvered it into a vacant lot. Not to be deterred, the determined la-
dies arrived in Paisley two days later, in a snow storm, with the Perk in tow. With Jolie at the helm, the Perk soon became a popular attraction. After her marriage to Brady Murphy and the birth of their daughter Katie Rose, Jolie leased the Perk to new managers Gwen and Gil Duckworth. In March 2012, Gil and Gwen purchased the business. Gwen serves up hot and blended espresso drinks, smoothies and Italian sodas.
“I always stop for coffee to stay awake,” (Penny) Pickett says. “Gwen is so friendly, I like to visit with her. In summer, we share gardening tips.”
Gil’s father Larry Duckworth and Jan Hamlington supply eggs for sale at the Perk. Where else but a small town can you buy fresh eggs and coffee at the same place? Gwen has enjoyed getting acquainted with her Paisley neighbors and meeting interesting folks from out of town. She has noticed that the gopher hunters who come in the spring mostly order chai tea drinks. Penny Pickett comes from Bonanza twice a week to work with Bob Story who is training her horse Cille. “I always stop for coffee to stay awake,” Pickett says. “Gwen is so friendly, I like to visit with her. In summer, we share gardening tips.” Among the interesting travelers who stop at the Perk are motorcycle groups. “I always thought of bikers as a rough bunch, but 2-3 of them are lawyers COFFEE HUT and doctors,” See page 14 Gwen says.

COFFEE HUT From page 12 “They stop on their way to Reno bikers’ gatherings.” A classic car club from Alturas often motors up to Paisley for the day, and the Perk is a favorite stop for them. The caravan of art cars traveling to Burning Man in September are always interesting. “They are genuinely friendly and outgoing,” Gwen says. “Last year a guy came through towing a 25-foot pink swing set and he gave me a pink Burning Man sticker for my window.” Gwen and Gil moved to Paisley in March 2009, when they retired from the Army after 28 years service. The couple met at the Military Entrance Point in Oakland, Calif., after they had both enlisted. They dated for three months, were married Oct. 4 and entered basic training Oct. 14. They both served as drill sergeants, training units for deployment. Under the Joint Military Couples’ Program, they were assigned to the same bases, moving from Germany to Colorado Springs; Tacoma, Wash.; Ohio, N.J. and Atlanta. While Gwen operates the Perk, Gil is employed as parts house manager at the ZX Ranch. They have constructed pits and host horse shoe games in their yard during Mosquito Festival. Winter hours at the Perk are 7 a.m. to noon, Monday through Saturday, while summer hours are 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

Carving Smooths Out Saddle Man’s Repertoire SUBMITTED PHOTO
Marko “4 Dogs” Hammock is a man on many talents, amongst his saddle making and leather works, Hammock also does scrimshaw. Scrimshaw is the name given to scrollwork, engravings, and carvings done in bone or ivory. By Peter Clark Lake County Examiner

This pendant is carved out of an ivory elk’s tooth also known as a whistler. Enlarged to show the detailed elk carved into the tooth its actual size is smaller than nickel.
Lake County’s environment and culture provide exceptional inspiration for art, just ask Marko “4 Dogs” Hammock and his ability to make beautiful carvings and jewelry that tell a large story of the area. Opening up his new saddle shop last fall, specializing in making and repairing leather goods for the ranching community, his workshop is outfitted in all manner of decorative chaps, chinks and riding good. However, that is just one branch of the work that he offers. Strewn about his desk is the evidence of much more.
A full, enormous elk antler sat on the space in what looks like a late stage of it’s transition into scrimshaw art. On the interior, Hammock crafted a full wilderness scene, carved into the horn with unbelievable detail. Hammock said that he came from an artistic background that made his level of craftsmanship possible. “My mother was an artist and I remember coming home every night to the smell of oil paint,” he said. “And all my brothers are artist’s in their own right.” He said that he started with the leather working when he was only around
16 with his grandfather in Corvallis. He grew up moving from apprenticeship to apprentice, gathering talent along the way. Apart from that he also painted a great deal with acrylics, rounding out the artistic side of his practice. He couldn’t recall explicitly what led him into carving, but it was something that he picked up naturally. “I had a family to feed,” he said remembering starting to carve. In a successful attempt, he said that

From page 16
his first piece went for $850. What remains interesting about his work is the variety of mediums that he employs for his craft. As well as the large elk antlers, he also enjoys crafting on elk teeth. He can fit whole scenes on the jawbone of the large animal and the quality is striking. Not only that, but he said he works in stone, obsidian and wood, creating vibrant pieces out of the objects. “Antlers are the toughest,” he said. “The dust gets all over.” Pointing to a mask he should have been wearing while working, he laughed that he rarely used it. Although it came naturally for him, he still found difficulty with the process. “The big thing about carving is that if you mess up one thing, the whole piece is ruined,” Hammock said. Judging from the examples that surrounded him, either he rarely messed up that one thing, or he did a good job hiding his mistakes. Living on the Westside, raising black angus cattle, he decided to open up his shop in Lakeview for the simplest reason. “I want to be able to take care of my 10-year-old daughter,” he said. Tired of caring for horses, he said that he just wanted to have a successful business. With the sheer number of projects that lay around, he just might be able to build one. “I’ve got about five projects going on at the moment,” he said, smiling at the work. Now working out of his home in the Westside area, he said that he was open to many different sorts of commissioned pieces. From jewelry to scrimshaw, he has a knack with finding a particular style to fit any person. For more information, contact Hammock at 541-417-0068.
Hammock is in the process of a more simpler carving on this cow horn, not as intricate as the horns of larger animals, still plenty of detail for an unfinished project. SUBMITTED PHOTO

Expanding Political Horizons
Photos and Story By Toni Bailie Special to the Lake County Examiner From a ranch in the remote Warner Valley of Eastern Oregon, Jane O’Keeffe has expanded her horizons to encompass the political arena at county, state and national levels. For her years of public service, Jane was honored as one of four Oregon Women of Achievement in 2012. The awards were presented by Gov. Kitzhaber at the capital in Salem. Growing up in Pendleton and Hermiston, Jane was a town girl only during the school year. She anticipated the summers, riding horses and working cattle on her family’s ranch near Lonerock in Gilliam County. She majored in Agriculture and Resource Economics at Oregon State University, graduating in 1981. “I chose an Ag major because the people I liked being around were ranchers and I wanted to continue that connection,” O’Keeffe says.
O’Keeffe calls the Warner Valley region of eastern Lake County home, and continues to serve the area on a multitude of capacities. O’Keeffe was named one of four Oregon Women of Achievement in 2012, an honor presented by Gov. John Kitzhaber.
Jane met her husband John O’Keeffe at OSU. After their marriage, she and John moved to the O’Keeffe ranch, with its sweeping views of the Warner Valley and Hart Mountain. As the eldest son, John assumed management of a ranch established by his great grandparents John and Nora. Their son Patrick, also an OSU graduate, is now working with John on the four-generation ranch. “John was truly lucky,” Jane says. “He knew from an early age what he wanted to do, and he is doing it.” When she came to the ranch, Jane didn’t have a career path. For ten years, she used her business skills as office manager of the MC Ranch near Adel, staying close to home when her two sons were young. Jane’s political activism began in 1995, when she was elected for two terms as Lake County Commissioner. Her focus as commissioner was not to argue over issues, but attend to the nuts and bolts of running the
county, especially providing adequate social services. Attending her first meeting of the Association of Oregon Counties was a pivotal point in Jane’s career. Judge Dale White from Burns asked her, “So, what kind of commissioner are you going to be? There are two types. One sits in the court house, slams a fist on the desk and demands change. The other goes where the decisions are made and makes a case for the community.” After that meeting, Jane was swept up in concerns about natural resources. “It’s a big deal to most of us in Lake County,” Jane says. “Seventy-eight percent of our county is owned by the state and federal government.” One of the highlights of being commissioner was her involvement with the Lakev- POLITICAL HORIZONS See page 22 iew Stewardship

Group, which convened conservationists, timber workers, local government officials and other civic leaders. The collaboration allowed diverse opinions to be expressed; they incorporated ecology with the need to create jobs. “We obtained information from scientists,” Jane says. “Then we went out to the woods together and talked about what we saw. Some people saw a forest that needed help, others saw trees that needed to be cut for the mill.” As a result, the Collins Company installed a small diameter log mill which helped sustain 100 local jobs. Jane is now chair of Sustainable Northwest, a non-profit organization that seeks to restore ecosystems and create living wage jobs by bringing people and ideas together. For a time, she traveled to Washington D.C. as lobbyist, with the goal of reauthorizing the Rural Schools Act. “I learned so much about how things work,” Jane says. “Partisanship is frustrating and non-productive. You can fire shots across the bow, or you can invite everybody to the table to share perspectives.” Jane has represented Eastern Oregon’s farming and timber communities on other boards and commissions. She has
“I like collaboration better than regulation,” Jane says. “But we do need a set of rules. I take studying the issues very seriously.” logged many miles, often crossing stormy mountain passes, to participate in the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board and as vice chair of the Oregon Environmental Quality Commission. That group has set policies for shutting down PGE’s coal fire generator at Boardman and the disposal of chemical weapons stored at Umatilla. “I like collaboration better than regulation,” Jane says. “But we do need a set of rules. I take studying the issues very seriously.” After years in the political arena, Jane
has begun to direct her creative energy to writing. In 2008, she completed a Masters Program in Fine Arts through Antioch University in Los Angeles. She traveled to California twice a year for ten-day intensives; the remainder of the class was done on-line. “It’s perfect for someone who lives in Lake County,” Jane says. Her final 100-page manuscript covered the Betty Lou Parks murder trial in Alturas, Calif. “The desire to write has always been there,” Jane says. “I could have just started writing, but I needed a peer group and connections to the publishing world.” Her writing has been published in High Desert Journal, Sun, and Sylvan Echoes. She currently is shopping for an agent for her first novel, “The Last Word.” Jane has another novel in the works, “Conflict Resolutions.” She will focus on her first draft in August, during a writers’ residency sponsored by A Room of Her Own Foundation. She will gather with other women writers at Georgia O’Keeffe’s Ghost Ranch near Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her only regret is that she can’t find a way to claim Georgia O’Keeffe as a relative.

Several local nursing staff professionals who pursued the all-important health care profession in which quality professional medical staff play a paramount role in such a remote location as Lakeview. They all agree that Lake District Hospital is a great place to come home to.
For just about anyone east of the Cascades in Oregon, Lake County’s isolation is a virtual pinpoint locale on the eastward horizon; known to exist, but far removed from the western metropolitan hubs. In the case of the latter, there are several local nursing staff professionals who pursued the all-important health care profession in which quality professional medical staff play a paramount role in such a remote location as Lakeview. They all agree that Lake District Hospital is a great place to come home to!

In high school, she participated in Bobbie Steninger’s sports training and medical terminology Greenfield program. After she graduated in 1994 in pursuit of college, she never thought she would return to her hometown. Her husband,Shawn, a renowned professional rodeo competitor, often extensively traveled, she felt a need to be closer to family.

Greenfield said she started out at the hospital before transitioning over to Home Health & Hospice, where she has worked for the past 8.5 years. Most of her patient services pertain to home or foster home visits, as well as care for patients in the Long-Term Care unit. From her professional perspective, the local community is blessed with a formidable amount of medical services. “I think the services we’re able to offer are outstanding,” she said. “It’s great we have all the surgeons and spe- PLACE CALLED HOME cialty (physicians) coming, even if it’s See page 26 once a month.”

The uniqueness of her profession in a rural setting is in the universality of its demands. “Truly, it’s everything…,” she said. “It’s zero to 100 in age, birth to death routine to not routine.” A 1995 LHS graduate, Alves said that family served as a major influence in her decision to remain in her hometown. She and her husband, Rod, both have family roots in the area. Alves did spent a brief period working as a traveling nurse and working for public health, but ultimately she knew what her permanent calling happened to be. There’s no such thing as a typical day when it comes to nursing in a rural hospital, Alves said. “It’s a specialty all of its own,” she said. She is the daughter of Mikell Newton and Rick Gage.
Hannah (Carlon) Brollier Registered Nurse

A native of the Paisley area and 2006 graduate of North Lake School, Carlon attended Blue Mountain Community College and Central Oregon Community College before moving to Lakeview Brollier in 2008 to enter a nursing program coordinated through Lake District Hospital and Mt. Hood Community College. Carlon said she always knew she wanted to work in the health care profession. As
it turned out, the opportunity to enroll in the program worked out with suitable timing to allow her to also return home and help out with family needs. Any given day may mean providing care to friends or family, which, while re-

warding, can present its own challenges in keeping emotions out of the varied issues she may face in her profession. “I can’t imagine, at this point, being anywhere else in my life,” she said. Carlon said her long-term goals include continuing her education in her field, as she expressed an interest in eventually becoming a nursing educator. Her parents are Bobby and Terri Carlon of Paisley.
Abigail (Tracy) Finetti – Staff Nurse, Registered Nurse Finetti, a 2000 graduate of Lakeview High School, is not only a registered staff nurse but also serves as a trauma coordinator in Lake District Hospital’s emergenFinetti cy room. She attended Oregon Institute of Technology as a Daly Fund recipient, earning her Bachelor of Science degree in nursing through a OIT/OHSU coordinated program.
“I’m very happy at the bedside,” (Finetti) said. For a few years, she worked for Merle West Medical Center (now known as Sky Lakes). She and her husband, Chris, shared Lakeview as their common hometown, and made the decision to move back when the time came to start a family. They have two children, son Matt, 5, and daughter Alida, 2. Finetti has worked for Lake District Hospital since 2006, and said that there was never any doubt she would eventually return home, primarily due to the rural, country lifestyle and family-friendly atmosphere.
Finetti said her two passions in nursing are the ER and pediatrics, and her longterm career goals are relatively simple: retirement after a long career. “I’m very happy at the bedside,” she said. Her parents are Carl and Charley Tracy of Lakeview.
Krista (Gage) Harrington – Home Health & Hospice, Director Of Professional Services
Harrington serves as the agency director and supervisor to the Lakeview Home Health & Hospice Staff, as well as oversees patient care and compliance with all regulations. A 1996 graduate of Harrington Lakeview High School, Harrington has worked in Lakeview since graduating in 2000 from OHSU through EOU. Harrington was hired by Family Nurse Practitioner Lesa Cahill part-time after graduation in 2000, and also worked parttime for Lake District Hospital until the 2003-2004 era. Harrington said her original plans changed after meeting her husband, Abel, who works for the BLM in wildland fire.
“Everyone’s vested in the best interest of the community,” (Harrington) said. “We’re taking care of our family members, or our colleagues’ family members, most of the time… they’re our village, so to speak.”
She is daughter to Vicki Feigner and Gary Partin. Harrington said local care is much more personal and attentive than what is found in larger cities, where health care is “compartmentalized.” Harrington said she has no plans to leave Lake County at this stage. Harrington said the sense of community extends into the medical staff, as well. “Everyone’s vested in the best interest of the community,” she said. “We’re taking care of our family members, or our colleagues’ family members, most of the time… they’re our village, so to speak.”

Abert Rim Reflection
This photograph of Abert Rim being reflected in Lake Abert was shot by Brad Thorsted in the fall of 2012.
Abert Rim in Lake County, Oregon is one of the highest fault scarps in the United States. It rises 760 meters (2500 ft) above the valley floor, finishing with an 250-meter (800 ft) sheer-sided basalt cap. It was formed during the Miocene epoch. At that time basaltic flood lavas covered much of eastern Oregon. In subsequent faulting, great blocks were tilted and Abert Rim is at the western end of one of these blocks, while Lake Abert lies on top of another. Stretching more than 48 kilometers (30 mi) from Lakeview north to Alkali Lake, Abert Rim is also the longest exposed fault scarp in North America. Bighorn sheep were transplanted to the rim in 1975 and 1977 from nearby Hart Mountain, and are often spotted from the Abert Rim geologic point of interest sign located along Hwy 395. Raptors, such as the Fer-
ruginous Hawk, are also common in the area. The Chewaucan River enters the lake from the south, however it has no outlet. The lake level varies depending on rainfall and it nearly completely dried up 140 years ago.[citation needed] It is one of the Great Basin lakes. The escarpment and lake were first mapped on Dec. 20, 1843 by John C. Frémont who named it after Colonel John James Abert, his commanding officer. The southern section of Abert Rim is a popular spot for hang gliding because of the frequent thermals created by warm valley air rising up against the cliffs. The area is considered by many to be the hang gliding capital of the West. National hang gliding festivals are held each year in late June and during the Fourth of July. — Wikipedia

Lake County Youths Proactive in the Political Realm By Ryan Bonham Lake County Examiner Big dreams exist even in small towns. A trio of Lake County youth exemplify this notion, as three graduates of Lakeview and North Lake high schools have actively pursued involvement in our nations’ political realm. As a result, they have earned opportunities that most would only dream of as their hard work is dedicated toward a brighter goal-oriented future.
Wade Foster Foster, a graduate of Lakeview High School and the son of Craig and Mary Foster, will likely never forget the 2012 election year. During the year, he worked as one of vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan’s campaign activities schedulers, affording him
a front-row seat to the fast-paced world of election year politics. For a year and a half prior, Foster had worked first in Congressman Greg Walden’s La Grande office before moving on to Washington D.C. to serve as a scheduler. “It was a once in a lifetime opportunity,” Foster said in an October 2012 interview. “I had to take it.” The opportunity to work on the Romney/Ryan campaign came about through the friend of a mutual friend, Foster said, who recommended him as a candidate to schedule Ryan’s campaign activities. Foster’s job largely pertained to organizing Ryan’s schedule over 48-hour periods, working on varied logistical operations.

Lakeview High School graduate Wade Foster worked on the Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan 2012 presidential campaign as a scheduler for vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan’s campaign activities. Though ultimately the Republican ticket lost the presidential election, the experience served as a permanent memory for Foster, who said he relished the opportunity to be involved. “It’s just really important to get out and experience the world,” he said.

Ferry, a 2008 graduate of Lakeview High School and the daughter of Dr. Rod and Jessie Ferry of Lakeview, works as a legislative assistant for State Rep. Gail Whitsett in her Salem office. Working out of the state capital since January, Ferry graduated from Oregon State University in September 2012 with a bachelors degree in public health, featuring an emphasis in health management and policy.
Ferry will put her knowledge to work in assisting the representative on the Human Services and Housing Committee. “I’ve always been real interested in policy…,” she said. “That’s kind of how I got here.” Ferry’s interest in health care issues ignited in a class on health policy, and her veterinarian father happened to be friends with Gail’s husband, Sen. Doug Whitsett, which led to the opportunity she currently enjoys. From her vantage point, the state dignitaries have a sincere interest in the needs and desires of their constituents, Ferry said. “The representatives really do care about what the constituents want,” she said.

POLITICAL HORIZON Ferry also has learned about urban issues just as others have been able to gain a better understanding from her of the issues faced in rural Oregon. “I think I just like how we educate each other on our backgrounds,” she said. “That’s what I enjoy the most, the education and the learning.” Likewise, Ferry said her interest in a permanent political career is growing as she gains experience and perspective on the varied current issues facing the state. “I see myself building a career in politics,” she said.
Jessica Hand Hand, the daughter of Roxanne and Duane Hand and a 2011 graduate of North Lake School, recently enjoyed an opportunity realized by few. She served as one of 53 Oregonians that served as delegates for the 2012 Republican National Convention, held in Tampa, Fla., that summer. Hand, a student at Western
From page 30
Oregon University and currently in her sophomore year, worked hard to raise sufficient funds to make the trip in August 2012. Working hard outside the classroom is nothing new for Hand, as her previous endeavors included starting Handde Cup Espresso, a drive-up espresso coffee stand that she established alongside Ruth Williardt in Christmas Valley while still in high school. At WOU, Hand serves as the student government’s director of state and federal affairs. Among the core issues of concern for students in the program are tuition equity and affordability. Hand is studying business management and public policy, and said she plans to pursue public office in the future. Hand said she is hoping to intern at Oregon Rep. Kevin Cameron’s office during the spring 2013 term. “I still have quite a lot to learn,” she said. “Whatever I can get into to make the greatest change…” Hand’s travels to the RNC
proved to be an education in and of itself, she said, as she enjoyed many opportunities to listen to a number of impressionable speakers and just being a part of a significant election year event. “It was amazing,” she said.
“It was really insightful.” She said she was amazed to learn what’s actually happening in the federal government versus the impressions of what’s happening back home.

Fun for the
Entire Family
ANOTHY BURROLA Lake County Examiner
Lakeview Lanes has been a family operated business for almost three decades, providing entertainment for all ages. They have bowling leagues available. By Anthony Burrola Lake County Examiner
As the seasons change and the days get longer, it’s not uncommon for people to start looking for more things to do to occupy their time. Fret not; Lakeview Lanes, also known as Papa Dan’s, has got you covered. Even though the MLB season recently kicked off and the NBA playoffs are just around the corner, there might not be a better way for one to spend his or her time than by bowling a series or two at the local restaurant-alleycombo. Lakeview Lanes, a true family establishment, is owned and operated by Erika Walters and her two children, Ralph Walters and Susie Brazeal. The building itself is a lot older than the business Walters now runs,
yet both hold a lot of history. “The house was built in 1957,” she said, “but opened in 1958.” The restaurant didn’t officially open until 1984, roughly 28 years ago. Back then, the two businesses were separated, with one being an eatery and the other a bowling alley, both with separate proprietors. Two years later, her and her late husband absorbed the bowling alley as well. Since the merger, the dual-establishment has done well, and has a lot to offer the community. The Food Papa Dan’s, the eatery portion of the business, serves a wide variety of food. Walters is there at 8:00 a.m. every day to get
the place ready to open the doors by 11:00 a.m. Just about everything there is homemade, either by Walters, Brazeal, or one of her other employees. Around lunch hour, the place sees its most business. “Sometimes,” she said, “I am too busy to eat lunch.” With the help of her daughter Brazeal, Walters keeps the customers satisfied during the day. Her most popular item might vary from week-to-week, but the most consistent item, she feels, is the Soup & Sandwich Special, which comes with a medium drink. Besides the FAMILY FUN American foods See page 36 offered, Papa

Dan’s also serves Mexican cuisine, as well as pizza, which Walters says can have any toppings requested, provided it isn’t dead fish. “No dead fish,” she said, “Anchovies, smoked oysters, scallops. They smell too much when you open the oven.” Which makes sense, since fish in general have a poignant odor, and when that is combined with an old-fashioned, slow-cooking, bricklined oven, the results can border on hazardous to one’s health. Or, at the very least, provide an undesirable stench. In spite of her abhorrence for dead fish toppings, Walters will cook up just about anything her customers ask for, as long as they bring in the ingredients she doesn’t possess. “I can do everything, I can put it together,” she said, “but you find the dead fish.” The Bowling Adult bowling leagues run from September to April every year, and people come in from all over town to participate. Companies compete against one another, while friends and family also get in on the action, helping to ramp up the competition. They start anywhere between 6:30 and 7:00 p.m, and tend to run until 10:00 p.m. Walters’ son Ralph, a rancher by day and bowling atten-
dant by night, runs the alley in the evenings. He’s responsible for getting the lanes ready for league play and for cleaning up after the alley’s daytime activities, such as open bowling. Once the leagues have officially ended, open bowling will be available from 11:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. There is also an arcade and billiards section where kids can enjoy playing video games and some cheap games of pool. This area of Lakeview Lanes can be scheduled for private parties as well. But like most businesses, Lakeview Lanes has seen its fair share of hardship. What was once a 7-day a week operation has dwindled to a 6-day a week operation. Similarly, the bowling leagues have also suffered some cutbacks, as they discontinued summer league play about 5 years ago. But the setbacks matter very little in the grand scheme of things. Community is what’s important to Walters. When asked about her proudest moment here, Walters recalled one particular Saturday when a group of travelers’ bus had broken down and they took refuge inside her establishment. They spent 4 hours bowling, eating, playing pool, and having a great time. In spite of the setbacks, ownership does its best to stay positive and keep pushing forward. Walters is constantly asked whether

70 Years Strong RYAN BONHAM/ Lake County Examiner
By Ryan Bonham Lake County Examiner
Soroptimists of Lakeview gathered for a group photo in celebration of the local service club’s 70th birthday in 2012.
Seventy years of service is no light feat. Soroptimists of Lakeview recently entered the septuagenarian phase in the local community, celebrating their 70th birthday as a service club during the fall of 2012. The club celebrated the occasion, appropriately, with birthday cake and the availability of archival scrapbooks for which club members could peruse and examine the club’s historical roots within the community. The local chapter’s president, Judy Graham, noted that their objectives are focused around positive influences for women and children. “Our mission is to improve the lives of women and children,” she said. “That really is our focus.” The club has also been active in supporting a number of community-based projects, as well, supporting kitchen and dining area improvements at the Lake County Fairgrounds, development of the Soroptimist Fitness Park and donating funds to the Lake County Library’s new main branch construction. Each year, the club also donates to the Lake County Crisis Center and has supported Camp Cottonwood on a regular basis, among other projects. “We really do like to spread our wealth,” Graham said. The last significant milestone celebrated by the club was
the 50th anniversary, held back in 1993. Through the Examiner, the Soroptimists published a special commemorative tabloidsize edition entitled “50 Years of Memories: Soroptimist International of Lakeview.” The 8-page special edition provided a look at the club’s past and (then) present, detailing the group’s activities, projects and service-related achievements over the years. Eleanor Lynch, who has been involved with the club since 1981, said she became involved with the club as a way to be a part of improving the community. “I saw it as an organization of women that could help make things better in the community, and do community service,” she said. The club’s historical date of origins date back to 1942, and the club was initially sponsored by the Klamath Falls chapter. The commemorative golden anniversary publication indicated that the first meeting consisted of 84 guests at the Lakeview Hotel on Oct. 7, 1942. On that inaugural evening, the guest speaker was San Francisco attorney Harriet Tyler, who at the time was also president of the Soroptimists Federation of the Americas. Officers at the first meeting of the local club included Ruth Howard, vice-president, Mayme Davis, recording secretary, Cleurice Nichols, corresponding
secretary and Josephine Cogburn, treasurer. Lynch noted that the club has been active throughout the decades in supporting a variety of projects of benefit to the community at large. Most recently, the club has worked to raise $40,000 for the new main branch library building. A reading room within the new library will be named in honor of the club’s efforts, she said. The club also worked to raise funds for what Lynch described as a ‘pleasant room’ at Lake District Hospital for patients undergoing chemotherapy treatments. As the name suggest, the room provides an atmosphere of comfort for those making frequent trips to the hospital for oncology services. Other continuing traditions include sending two local high school girls to the Girls State conference, which has been ongoing since 1954, Lynch said. The club holds a school supply drive each year to provide a source of school items for students in need, and also issues a $600 vocational-tech school award for a candidate looking to attend vocational school and working toward a license. The group also assisted the Lake County Chamber with the Tour De Outback bicycling event this year, Lynch said. “I think we’re going to be doing more within the world of biking in the community,” she
said.
Each spring, the club also hosts the Friday evening corned beef and cabbage dinner during the Irish Days festivities, Lynch noted, and in the fall holds the Elegant Luncheon event, which regularly serves as a popular fundraiser. Current officers are Judy Graham, president, Pam Talbott, treasurer, and Carol Parker, secretary. Board members include Tami Johnson, Sandra Wenzel and Marsha Landrith. “I think our trend is becoming more and more to help women and children,” Lynch said. “I think the projects we’ve done over the last 10 to 15 years have reflected that.” The club also supports women each year with programs to support their efforts toward self-improvement. The Violet Richardson award is presented to a young girl under the age of 18 each year that volunteers within the community, while the Women’s Opportunity Award is presented to an individual who is self-supporting and working to enhance her professional career. Regarding the club’s legacy, Graham said that the active membership’s dedication to the community is a key part of its continued success. The Soroptimists of Lakeview meet on Tuesdays at the Lakeview Elks Lodge at noon. For more information, visit www.lakeviewsoroptimist.com.

Valley Quail
A seemingly posed Valley Quail snapped by Paisley photographer Earl Reed in the surrounding area.
Valley Quail The valley quail is a native species originally confined to the counties bordering California and Nevada. Valley quail are adaptable birds and may be found associated with agricultural and urban areas, as well as in riparian habitats located miles from human habitation. Within these areas, however, valley quail habitat needs are rather specific. Valley quail feed on a wide variety of plant species, most of which we know as weeds. They need a combination of brushy escape cover with adequate roosting areas (off the ground) and more open areas for feeding. They are seldom found far from water. Valley quail are somewhat vulnerable to severe winter conditions, but populations have generally been fairly stable over a long period of time in eastern Oregon. Because they nest somewhat later than most other upland species, they often are unaffected by late spring storms which can reduce nesting success and chick survival for other species. In western Oregon numbers declined during the late 1970s, probably due to changing agriculture, but have remained relatively stable since. Valley quail are among Oregon’s most widely distributed game birds. You may find them associated with pheasants on agricultural land, or with chukars along brushy stream courses in sage brush environments, or by themselves wherever their specific habitat needs are met. They are most often hunted in conjunction with other species but can provide excellent hunting when pursued as a primary species. Valley quail are often detected by their distinctive call which seems to say “Chicago”. They are a covey-loving bird and wintering groups may number over 100. Quail and brushy environments go together like ham and eggs. — ODFW

Nichols is Ready for the Gavel RYAN BONHAM/Lake County Examiner
By Ryan Bonham Lake County Examiner
After serving Lake County for 22 years as judge, Lane Simpson, l-r, passes the gavel to his successor Rob Nichols, who was recently appointed to the Lake County CIrcuit Court judge position.
Freshly appointed to the Lake County Circuit Court judge position, attorney Rob Nichols said that he’s ready for the upward move in his career. The legal profession is something of a family legacy for Nichols, as he marks the fifth generation of his family to serve as an attorney. A career in law practice spans all the way back to his great-great-grandfather, he noted. Nichol shares a professional legal career with his father, Robert F. Nichols, grandfather John D. Nichols, III, greatgrandfather Clarence Nichols and great-great-grandfather John D. Nichols, II. Nichol’s family roots hark back to Iowa, as both of his parents grew in the heart of the Midwestern United States. His father followed an uncle out west to attend school at Willamette
University, settling in Klamath Falls to take a job in the Klamath County district attorney’s office after completing law school.
“I’m privileged to get the (appointment), and its’ a privilege to serve as judge.” Nichols said Nichols said his family moved to Lakeview when he was five years old, at which time his father started his private practice. A key figure in his father’s life was the renowned attorney Forrest Cooper, Nichols said,
and the small-town roots led them to Lakeview. He graduated from Lakeview High School in 1971, moving on to Oregon State University for his undergraduate studies. While at OSU, he met his wife, Marcia and they later had two sons, Brett and Travis, who also continued the OSU tradition. Following in the footsteps of his forebears, Nichols attended law school at Willamette University. He then returned to Lakeview to join his father’s practice after graduation. Nichols’ career in Lake County included two terms as the district attorney (1980-88). Since that time, he said he has practiced a lot of criminal defense law, as well as dissolution law. “When you practice in a
small town, you’re probably going to be a general practitioner,” Nichols said of his career, noting variety reigns supreme. “You can do some specialization, but you can’t completely specialize, because there’s just not enough work.” Nichols noted that he is enthused for the opportunity to serve as the district court judge. “I think I was at a time and age in my career that it seemed like a good fit,” Nichols said. “I’m privileged to get the (appointment), and its’ a privilege to serve as judge.” Alongside his career, Nichols has kept busy within the community like so many other

residents that also wear multiple hats. He’s been an active member of the Lakeview Lions and Elks service club organizations, as well as actively involved with the Warner Mountain Ski Area and ski patrol. Other community organizations upon which Nichols has been involved are the Boy Scouts, Lakeview Booster Club corporation and, when his children were younger, Lakeview Little League and Babe Ruth baseball programs. “One thing about Lakeview, there’s always been a lot of people with a real commitment to the community, and I’ve always tried to give a lot back.” Nichols commented on the quality educational opportunities within the community, as well as frequency of success with young people who grow up
in Lake County. “Kids that come from Lakeview seem to do well outside the community,” he said. “There’s wonderful people you make lifelong friends with.” Nichols noted that the legal profession is all about problemsolving, and dispute resolution is the nature of a trial court position. Nichols said that he is honored to be able to serve as judge of the Lake County Circuit Court. “I thought about it many years ago…,” he said. “It seemed like a good time for me to take a look at it. I’m privileged to get the appointment, and it’s a privilege to serve as judge. I look forward to helping people resolve their differences.”
Gov. John Kitzhaber recently appointed Lakeview attorney, Rob Nichols, as Lake County Circuit Court’s next judge. Nichols is a fifth-generation lawyer, and his roots run deep within the community.

Paisley Dorm
Goes Green
Sophomore German exchange student Raphael Siemantel harvests Lake County sunshine in drying his laundry at the Paisley dormitory. Photos and Story By Kris Norris Special to the Lake County Examiner St. Patrick’s day comes but once a year, however the Paisley High School Dormitory embraces going green throughout the entire school year. The Paisley High School Dormitory is a student boarding facility of the Paisley School District that operates Paisley School, a public charter school in the rural, remote, southeastern Oregon town of Paisley. Between 12 and 16 Oregon residents and foreign exchange students and two dorm supervisors live in the 14-bedroom, 20-room dormitory for up to ten months a year. This scholastic year, the dorm has realized a 30 percent cost-savings in energy usage alone. “From an environmental and economic perspective, our dorm has the equivalent impact of four to five average U.S. households,” says Paisley Dorm Supervisor, Kris Norris. “From an educational perspective, we foster Paisley School’s student goals - one of which is for our students to ‘demonstrate civic, global and environmental responsibility.’ My own personal perspective is that if you want to see change in the world, be the change you want to see.”
Norris says that she and her husband, Michael, who is also a dorm supervisor, believe that exposing students and young adults to simple conservation measures helps create adults and future leaders that have an awareness of environmental impacts and have practiced making energysaving and money-saving choices. “It is mostly about awareness and choices,” Norris reiterates. “Going green doesn’t mean you have to spend a lot of ‘green’ in order to reduce your carbon footprint - it’s simple things. “We began the school year by talking about turning off bedroom and bathroom lights when not needed, and we put up signage on doorways about turning off lights, and did a lot of reminding and positive reinforcement,” says Norris. She figures within one month most of the dorm students developed conscientious attitudes and actions towards saving energy by turning off unneeded lights. Several students mentioned they now turn off unneeded lights in other places as well and encourage others. “Teenagers really want to help make a difference,” says Norris. “Our dorm students have been enthusiastic about all our conservation efforts and this has been crucial to a 30 percent reduction in our energy bills, as just one example.”
Cost savings is a strong motivator, though, especially for cash-strapped school budgets. Norris notes other direct factors to the energy-cost savings are setting up and using an outdoor laundry line that harvests the 300 days of Lake County sunshine and using indoor, collapsible clothes-drying racks. “Beyond cost-savings is the aspect of reuse and recycle,” Norris continues. “We save and re-use anything that can be a storage container, make washable cleaning rags from our old towels and take reusable bags when we do go shopping.” Everyone in the dorm separates and recycles their cardboard, glass, paper and plastic and composts their food and cooking scraps for soil-building purposes. In addition to student and supervisor-activated conservation measures, the dorm’s fiscal expenditures reflect a local/regional sustainability commitment while looking for ways to reduce the dorm budget and making the most efficient use of educational dollars. “Shopping locally and supporting local, regional and Oregon-based companies is a critical aspect of going green and staying green,” states Norris. “And a GOES GREEN healthy local, See page 48

Early Timber Sales on the
Fremont Forest Photos and Story By John Kaiser Special to the Lake County Examiner
This signage will be installed as part of a new interpretative site later this year recognizing the former Davis mill site near Crooked Creek.
For over 100 years the Fremont National Forest has been selling timber. At first, the supply of trees seemed unending. But, soon enough, the early settlers saw that timber, like any other crop, was not limitless. The USDA Forest Service stepped into the role of manager. The first big timber sale on the Fremont Forest was purchased on March 15, 1926, to the Crooked Creek Lumber Company. The sale consisted of 37 million board feet of Ponderosa Pine and smaller amounts of lodgepole pine, white pine and white fir. The area of the sale was 3,400 acres within the Crooked Creek watershed northeast of Lakeview in the Crooked Creek valley, an area referred to today as the Cove. The price paid for the timber was $3.93/1,000 board feet for the Ponderosa Pine and $.53/1,000 board feet for the other species. Today the average price has jumped to $450.00/1,000 board feet and $500.00/1,000 board feet respectively. Logging started on Sept. 20, 1926, despite the fact that the building of the mill was not finished. Henry C. Davis, the mill owner, planned to spend the winter months building and perfecting his mill. He made many necessary adjustments, so that when the weather improved in the spring, logging could begin in earnest and the whole operation could start at full capacity. From the Lakeview-Burns Highway (Hwy 395), a road was built eastward up Crooked Creek for three miles, part of it through a narrow gorge with steep sidewalls. This road was 20 feet wide, in places wider and climbed except for a few short pitches on a grade which didn’t exceed ten or 11 percent. Its construction involved the burning of much black powder. Later, the road would be extended further east to Bull Prairie. To-
day the road ends in the Cove. At the mouth of Crooked Creek canyon, ground was cleared in the sagebrush for a lumber yard. There was no room near the mill site up Crooked Creek in the canyon. A tram was constructed from the mill to the newly constructed lumberyard and a gasoline locomotive was used for hauling the milled boards. Portions of the tram can be seen today. Except at the mill, no steam power was used. Motor trucks were used for hauling logs, a “sixty” cat for road building and a gasoline jammer for loading trucks. A “Ross” improved pumper had been purchased for fire protection. The whole operation was all gasoline, very modern. Timber falling was done on this sale for four years on 1,330 acres or 39 percent of the total area. A total of $78,000 was paid for the 20 million board feet cut. Of pine alone, the cut represented 54 percent of the estimated amount to be cut. To buy 20 million board feet on the stump today would cost $250,000. This would be enough lumber to build about 1400 houses. Operations were suspended in July 1930, due to heavy losses in the weak lumber market. The mill was owned by Davis, originally from the Wisconsin area. He brought with him several of the 30-40 men employed in the operation. Many of these men and their families eventually settled in and around the Lakeview area. One local that I knew personally was Dixie Wilson of Lakeview (now passed on). She was a cook at the camp.

TIMBER SALES
From page 50
The employees were a mixture of single and married men, some working in the woods some at the mill. They were housed in cabins spaced out over an area of about four acres in the Crooked Creek drainage. There was a cookhouse, stable and several community privies. Any school age children were bussed from the logging camp to the community of Lakeview to attend school. In Ward Tonsfeldt‘s account of Railroad logging on the Fremont Forest he gives a simple chronology of the timber industry in southern Lake County. Large timber companies from the mid-west had purchased vast amounts of forested land in the west and just, as we say, sat on it. For 30 years there was little activity on these lands. Then in the late 1920s through the middle 1930s, with improved rail services and an improved national economy, the pace of logging increased significantly. This lasted up until the World War II period. Prior to World War II, there were over 60 lumber mills in Lake County. They weren’t nearly as big as the 1929 Davis mill near Crooked Creek or any of the mills of the recent past that were established in Lakeview, but they were going concerns, even if only for a few months. These mills were scattered around the county and usually found near the National Forest boundary where streams empty out DO I REMEMBER THE FREMONT? Is it that you ask, my dear? Well, maybe you have reason to for a score of years or more. Have left their traces on me since through dust and inward fray. My swollen eyes beheld her peaks grow dim and fade away. Yes, a score of years or over is a length of time ‘tis true, With all its cares and troubles, its scenes and faces new; Yet neither tears nor distance, child, will ever wear away The memory of the Fremont, ‘tis as fresh as yesterday. And as I look the vision up how vivid it appears, How near me and so real through the long, long vale of years; Every scene I used to love, every face I used to know When youth’s bright days were with me on the Fremont long ago.

into the valley floor. The lumber that they produced was mostly used for local construction. Names like Bagley Brothers, Campbell and Archer and the Snelling Brothers appear in the records as mill owners. As logging and lumbering was growing fast during this period it soon overtook the cattle and sheep industry. This livestock enterprise had been established for at least 50 years prior to the forest industry’s logging boom. This summer, the Lakeview Ranger District of the FremontWinema National Forest will be putting up an interpretive sign at the mill site. When the roads are open after snows melt this area is easily accessible.
The hills were crowned with bunch grass where I sometimes had to climb When posting dim-marked boundary lines in the beautiful spring time; When the roads and trails and phone lines were gems of rangers’ pride, And where sheep men ‘dogged” the cattle from the thickets where they’s hide. The red breast’s merry chirrup, the thrush’s joyful lay, The perfume of the bitter brush, all the beauties of the May; The fragrance of the tent-fire’s smoke as it rolled so blue and thin With tales of laughter laden from the happy hearts within. These visions of the buried past come trooping up at will White and Ingram, Langfield, Minthorn, Elgan, LaSater, Frizzell; The dear old white-washed office where my files were poorly kept, Our much-loved supervisor who I learned but rarely slept. You say, and maybe rightly, that John Day has scenes as fair, I know and love its beauties, yet it’s not the same as there; Your mountains, lakes and rivers may be wonderful and grand, But give to me the beauties of what I call “my native land.” Yes, I remember the Fremont, child, and if it be God’s willA foolish wish you’d call it, yet I must own it stillWhen death shall end my days on earth I’d wish my bed of clay With Fremont sods were covered in dear Paisley far away.

Paisley High School Electives
Welding students Camden Jones, l-r, and Dillon Walton display a sampling of the fruits of their metalworking labor.
This year, Paisley High School students selected from a varied menu of electives to enrich their education – from hands-on vocational classes to drama and applied arts. Each morning for one hour, students learn carpentry in the wood shop with Michael Norris. During fall term, Robert Davis taught shielded metal arc welding; Cameron Harris introduced video production; and Shea Macnab was advisor for drama. Students could also opt for production of the Annual with Michael Jones, or radio broadcasting with Bruce Arrington. Robert Davis, welder at the Chewaucan Garage, introduced students to his craft, which could be pursued as a career or used

in other practical ways. Two girls -- Krista Colahan and Sasha Stepanova joined their male counterparts Camden Jones and Dillon Walton, donning eye shields and wielding welding torches. Michael Norris, who holds degrees in architecture and structural engineering, is enthusiastic about giving students a chance to try hands-on activities. “They’re learning more than just how to run the machines,” Michael said. Students draw up plans for a project, decide what materials they will need and follow the procedures step-bystep. When I visited the class, Kane Lindsey showed me his diagram of a collapsible chess board he’s constructing.
For several years, the school wood shop sat idle, so Michael is glad to put the equipment to use and share his wood-working background. He also tapped local resources, with class visitations from Al Bailie and Bob Lown who have extensive carpentry experience. Although Shea Macnab teaches health and P.E., he is also enthusiastic about the drama class. In college he took introduction to theater arts and acted in a couple of plays. “I see drama as a chance to work with the creative part of our minds,” he ELECTIVES said. “It allows See page 56 students to grow

into leadership roles.” The class staged Dracula, a two-act play adapted from Bram Stoker’s classic novel. Students Priscilla Norris, Oceana Morgan, Serena Morgan and Joie Hoppe directed the production, with one performance for the student body and another for the community. Other cast members included Damon Gong, Rose Chuenpratum, Ryan Negus and Whitley Negus. The actors played duel roles, giving them a chance to exercise their creativity. To hone their skills , Cameron Harris’ video production students filmed public service announcements and 30-second commercials. Bruce Arrington’s radio broadcasting students helped with voice-overs in the school’s recording studio. For several years, Cameron, who holds psychology and teaching degrees, worked with troubled teenagers in Wilderness Programs, teaching them outdoor skills. To introduce the Paisley students to video production, he compiled a montage of scenes from his summer vacation. “I’m the facilitator of the class, but we are learning together.” he said. Keeping the arts alive in such a small school has long been the passion of Florence Jayne, who has volunteered as an art instructor for more than 30 years. She taught art in public schools in Pennsylvania and Washington before moving to Paisley in 1970. With Bruce Arrington, Florence teaches grades one—eight. The students learn the basics of art and ceramics. This year they made a field trip to the Favell Art Museum in Klamath Falls. Each morning, the junior high students sketch for ten minutes, then experiment with tempera and water colors. Every student enters a piece of art work in the Lake County Fair. One year, Dillon Walton won first prize with his water color picture of a mountain lion. “There is more talent in this town than any place I’ve ever been,” Florence said. “I just give them the basics, then get out of their way.”

Nursery Taps
into Underground
RYAN BONHAM/ Lake County Examiner
Chester Avery of Fort Rock tapped into the temperate nature of the earth in building underground-based greenhouses for growing fresh herbs, vegetables and fruits. Part of the advantages of this design, when compared to above-ground greenhouses, is much more moderate internal temperatures. By Ryan Bonham Lake County Examiner Chester and Josephine Avery love gardening so much, they’ve taken their interest underground; in the most literal sense of the word. The Fort Rock couple, whom have called northern Lake County home since 1997, have built greenhouses that, by design, are constructed on a partially subterranean basis. The couple has enjoyed personal gardening pursuits for the past 40 years or so, and continue this pursuit with their unique below-ground greenhouses. “We always wanted one,” Chester said. “We can’t see our lifestyles without it, now.” The couple moved to Fort Rock from Corvallis in 1997,
seeking a quiet life outside the western Oregon metropolitan rat race, he said. As the Averys are self-described as very health-conscious, they consume no processed foods and are watchful of their personal nutrition. “The greenhouse is both practical and philosophical,” Chester said. In addition to growing fresh herbs and other items in the greenhouses, they also raise chickens for fresh eggs. The first greenhouse the couple built was pursued as an all-around unit, seeking to utilize the warmth of the ground with large walls as a heat sink for retaining heat and warmth. This unit was primarily used for starts and seedlings, with some perennials, Chester said.
The couple also sought to grow figs and lemons, which need an exotic atmosphere in order to thrive. In addition to their gardening activities, the Averys also enjoy escaping the brutal cold weather of Lake County winters. Depths have ranged from three to four feet below the ground surface, Chester said, with the four-foot depth seemingly working the best so far. “You want to get down deep enough to tap into the earth’s heat,” Chester said, who said the advantages of this greenhouse design starts at 18 inches below the surface. Moderation is a key advantage of an underground-based greenhouse, Chester noted, as he monitors heat lost in the winter months and heat gained sum-
mer. Compared to an aboveground greenhouse, the temperature extremes are greatly reduced and the environment is kept temperate. Josephine noted that, on a day in which outside ambient temperatures hit a low of 13 below zero, the internal temperatures of the greenhouse reached no lower than 32 degrees. Average temperatures range from a minimum of 45 to 50 degrees all the way up to a maximum of 90 degrees, she said. Maintenance issues include deterrence of white flies, slugs and aphids, for which crumpling up egg shells is a helpful

Clear
Pathway to Healthy Community and Economics
RYAN BONHAM/ Lake County Examiner
By Ryan Bonham Lake County Examiner Clear air means clean health, in simplest terms. A committee of local public officials and citizens meets on a regular basis to address the matter of air quality in Lakeview, an issue that is exacerbated by not only local geographic, but also recurring weather patterns that contribute to stagnant air in the winter months. The Town of Lakeview Air Quality works to find ways to educate the public on the importance of clean air. Current members of the committee include Janine Cannon, chairperson, Marv Crocker, Rob Wing, Lee Fledderjohann, Joe Pahl, Christy Prenevost, Mayor Mike Patrick (as a liaison to the Lakeview Town Council), and Town of Lakeview Mgr. Ray Simms. Lake County’s Board of Commissioners has recently engaged in discussions to form a similar committee to the Town’s that would work on a collaborative level with them to improve the air quality of the community. “We want our air to be as healthy as it

Prenevost serves as the Town’s air quality coordinator, regularly reporting on the Town’s air quality conditions between council meetings. Part of the Town’s commitment to the DEQ includes an annual agreement which provides for funding for strategies designed to reduce emissions in working to meet the national ambient air quality standard, Prenevost said. At present, the largest impact on air quality is smoke from wood-burning stoves, she said. “The majority of it is wood particulates,” she said. “It is our goal to reduce our particulate emissions.” The October to February period is the time frame of highest concentrations of emissions, she said, given the colder weather conditions and increased use of woodburning stoves. There is a station in town that collects air samples, which get sent to Portland for analysis of composition, Prenevost said. Prenevost said that programs are in
place to encourage responsible wood-burning. A traffic signal visible from the upper story of Town Hall provides a visual reminder of air qualities – ‘red’ signifying poor air quality days, ‘green’ symbolizing optimal – on any given day during the October to February period. On days in which the signal is ‘red,’ Prenevost said that residents should utilize alternative heating means if available, as the air quality is of particularly poor quality for those with sensitive respiratory health conditions. Daily advisories, public education and outreach and even wood stove replacement programs are all available in an effort to reduce emission levels locally. Prenevost said she conducts compliance surveys on ‘red’ days, looking for visible smoke coming out of chimneys of local residences, which can suggest inefficient burning or inefficient stoves. In the last two years, more than 100 wood CLEAR PATHWAY stoves have been See page 64

CLEAR PATHWAY replaced with newer, higherefficiency units through a program coordinated by the DEQ and South Central Oregon Economic Development District. The committee also reviews applications for the town’s loan program for wood stove change-outs, which provides no-interest loans for owner-occupied residences and a nominal interest charge on rentals, Prenevost said. Misconceptions on the actions of the committee include a notion that there will be retribution against low-income residents whose sole source of heat is from a wood stove. Prenevost noted that this is not the case, and that the ultimate goal is to prevent the community from being formally designated an area of ‘non-attainment’ by the DEQ. This status could lead to long-term economic sanctions for any interested industry seeking to set up shop in Lakeview, due to additional
From page 62 costs of emissions abatement, she said. Poor air quality also has long-term health consequences, particularly on the respiratory forefront, and those with such issues as asthma, allergies or other breathing-affected ailments are particularly prone to poor air quality. Town Mgr. Ray Simms said the committee’s roots date back to the early ‘90s, during a time when the DEQ deemed Lakeview’s air quality as problematic on the basis of PM 10 particulate matter (10 microns in size). Through coordinated efforts, the Town managed to get back into compliance through a maintenance plan developed by the committee and the Town, he said. From 1997 on, the Town managed to stay in compliance with the PM 10 standard, Simms said, but in 2007 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established a new air quality standard

based on fine particulate matter sized at 2.5 microns (PM 2.5). The Town found itself, once again, close to non-compliance, due to occasional failures to meet the daily standard for emissions. “We are eligible to be named a non-attainment area for the PM 2.5 standard,” he said. “We have not (officially) made the list at this time.” Simms said that the committee is working on a number of strategies to ensure that it stays out of the ‘non-attainment’ status. Given that the Town successfully overcame issues previously with the PM 10 standard, he remains optimistic the same is possible with the new fine particulate matter standard. “Their original goal was to meet the PM 10 standard,” he said, “and they were 100 percent successful.”

Quality Food, Fair Prices By Anthony Burrola Lake County Examiner
TILLIE FLYNN/ Lake County Examiner
Kevin and Susan Samples keep hands on by working on a regular basis in their business, “Burger Queen”, where there hamburger was once noted as the best in Oregon.
Where I come from, there is no Burger Queen. There’s a Burger King, the wellknown fast food chain whose claim-to-fame rhymes with “shopper.” I would be disingenuous if I said that I didn’t find it humorous when I Google-mapped Lakeview prior to coming here and saw a Burger Queen and an Alger theater. To me, both looked like knockoffs of Burger King and Regal Theater, which are huge franchises. It wasn’t until I sat with owners Kevin and Susan Samples that I realized how wrong I was. The Samples, much like myself, are transplants from a different state. They have been here for about 30 years. Prior to buying the well-known restaurant, Kevin was a supervisor at Pizza Hut and Susan worked at a law office in the capital of Utah.
The Samples learned of an exciting opportunity to own a business in Lakeview. Kevin, tired of the corporate world, decided to go all-in and purchase the establishment formerly known as “The Yogurt Station.” The two played a few hands that first year, but mostly hedged their bets by operating with the exact same business model. “That first winter,” he said, “we just had sandwiches and so forth.” In March of 1988, they stopped hedging their bets and went all-in again. “It wasn’t going to make it as a yogurt station,” he said. With boldness and alacrity, the Samples made The Yogurt Station their own, calling it by its current name, Burger Queen. “We invested money in the grill and fry-
ers, changed the name, expanded the menu, but kept the deli sandwiches,” he said. They were no longer thinking like transplants, but like Oregonians. And like the people of Lakeview, the Samples worked tirelessly to get their business off the ground. They joked that their first son, Josh, who was born in 1988 and is the impetus behind their kid-sized burger, “the Josh Burger,” spent the first 5 years of his life at Burger Queen. In 1992, they added “the Collin Cheese,” which is a cheeseburger for kids, named after their second son Collin.

change with the need for consistency. It’s something they’ve done masterfully as they’ve added to their menu with regularity, while at the same time maintaining a consistent standard for excellent service and fresh food. “We try to produce fresh product every day,” he said. “To me, when you say fresh product, everything on that product must be fresh.” In a town as remote as Lakeview, that can be tough to maintain. The Samples sometimes have to order ingredients 10 days in advance to get them in time. After a decade in business, the couple eventually remodeled. They added seating for 14 more people, replaced tables and chairs with booth units, painted the interior and added a drive-in ambiance. The painting move, conducted by Mrs. Samples, was one of keen self-awareness. The Burger Queen was established then, had a busy drive-thru, and its owners knew to play to their strengths. The Samples add items to the menu almost annually, and the latest addition is the Wild Fries, topped with fry sauce, cheese, bacon, jalapenos, and other toppings. It’s delightful. They even have stuff for the calorie counters, such as vegetarian soups, grilled chicken, and salads. They remain confident in their product, be

We try to offer fair product at a fair price.” Kevin is probably too humble to admit that travelers don’t just come for the burgers, but also for the company. During business hours, Samples is often making rounds,

It’s not far-fetched to say that this is why they are still going strong after 30 years. The Samples stopped hedging, played to their strengths, and now the Burger Queen’s future is as bright as ever.

Lake County Values Education ANTHONY BURROLA Lake County Examiner
Attorney and longtime Secretary Treasurer of the Bernard Daly Committee Jim Lynch.
By Anthony Burrola Lake County Examiner In the United States, there is no better way to achieve upward mobility than through higher education. Unfortunately, for the majority of Americans, the cost of educating one’s self comes at too steep a price. Students are often required to accrue massive amounts of debt in order to set themselves up for a bright, albeit unguaranteed future. In some instances, that debt can take a lifetime to finish paying. For other students, it’s not uncommon to be making loan payments well into their thirties or forties. While there certainly exists a percentage of Americans whose families can front the bill, that percentage is infinitesimal, and largely outweighed by those who can’t afford the costs. Yet for several in Lake County, that problem is mitigated greatly. For those who can’t afford the luxury of higher education, they need only apply themselves. Literally. The Bernard Daly Scholarship, which was established in 1920 with the death of Dr. Bernard Daly, was set up to assuage this prob-
lem. According to attorney Jim Lynch, who served on the Board of Trustees from 1964 till 2012, the goal of the fund is “to allow worthy young men and women of Lake County to maximize their capabilities.” Dr. Daly, in a gesture of goodwill and sagacity, allocated a fund from his own money that currently holds $5.5 million to fund the college education of Lake County residents. This total includes the one-time donation of $1 million by Jess and Alta Roberts. But there are certain stipulations that applicants must meet. First, in order to achieve eligibility, students must attend a Lake County high school for all four years. The three high schools in the area are located in Lakeview, North Lake and Paisley. Second, the funding is based not on need but on merit, and thus the students must rank EDUCATION in the top 40 See page 74

percent of their class in GPA standing and SAT scores. That means that they only need to have better grades than 60 percent of their cohort. Third, the students who qualify can only receive the scholarship if they go to a college in the state. The application process itself requires that students submit their high school GPA and SAT scores, which are then received by retired professor Dr. Franz Haun. It is Dr. Haun who completes the designing of a rankings system, the replacing of each student’s name with a number to ensure anonymity, and the sending of the transcripts to the Board of Trustees. Once completed, the Board reviews the transcripts on the fourth Saturday of every June and decides which numbers (students) will receive financial aid. Once a recipient, the stipend is renewable throughout their education as long as certain criteria is met. The Board consists of five local trustees, of which Lynch has now retired, and one representative from each of the seven Oregon constituent Universities. The five board members are Dr. Mike Sabin, board member, Ann Tracy, board member, Alan Parks, chairman, Melinda Howard, vice chair, and Dave Vandenberg, secretary Treasurer. Only Vandenberg’s position, for-
merly Lynch’s, does not alternate perennially. Another foundation set up for Lakeview, the Collins-McDonald Scholarship, differs from the Daly in that it will pay for students to attend both private and out-of-state institutions and it is not limited to students. The fund can also supply money to eligible charitable foundations of Lake County, according to Lynch. “The Collins-McDonald was designed for charitable gifts to anything that would benefit the people of Lake County and its students,” he said. Truman Collins, J.T. McDonald, and Theodore Conn created the Collins-McDonald Scholarship in 1951. A more recent addition to round out the triumvirate is the James and Amy Ousley fund, whose $4.5 million is also managed by the Daly’s Board of Trustees. The donation by the Ousleys established the fund in 2011, which also allots students the same collegiate opportunities as the Collins-McDonald. All three funds provide students with a maximum stipend of $7,800 currently per year. There are 119 students receiving money from the three funds at this point in time. The money is designed to exist in perpetuity. Lynch said, “The interest and earnings
from the fund are used for the scholarships.” The interest and dividends go up and down with the economy. When asked if it was recession-proof, Lynch responded, “That’s the idea.” From the funds’ creation to date, 1,800 selectees have received financial aid. According to Lynch, “The board often makes the claim that, on per capita basis, there’s more funding for Lake County High School students than any county in the nation.”
Any student that attends all four years of high school in Lake County and graduate in the top half of their class stand a very good chance of receiving funding for the college through a variety of scholarships.

Health Center Provides Valuable Medical Services RYAN BONHAM/ Lake County Examiner
The clinic moved into its current location about seven years ago, and since that time has greatly expanded its services. North Lake Health Center receptionist Tricia Brown, l-r, and Family Nurse Practitioner Pat Widenoja.
By Ryan Bonham Lake County Examiner
Now over the half-decade mark in operation in its newest location, the North Lake Health Center has seen plenty of growth in services. The grand opening in their current location took place within the last 7 years, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and considerable fanfare. The move marked a significant step-up in facilities for local residents of northern Lake County, said Family Nurse Practitioner Pat Widenoja. “People see this as a professional building,” she said, “and they give us credit for the integrity and quality of care we provide.” A job share in place with physician’s assistant Dennis Bruneau helps to provide for 24-hour coverage at present, she said. Bruneau is in the area for periods spanning three to 14 days, on an alternating schedule. The clinic is administered by the North Lake Health District, which is supported area taxpayers, and governed by a board of directors that meets on a monthly basis, Widenoja said. Board members include Alan Parks, president, Carl Shumway, vice-president, Alice Dinsdale, treasurer, John Dobkins, member at large and Cathy Weaver, board secretary. Sandy Maerz serves as the office manager for the clinic. The North Lake Health Center, Inc., entity leases property to the district which contracts with health care providers for services.
The supervising physician at the clinic is Dr. Bruce Carlson, MD, who hails from Hermiston. Dr. Carlson manages the medical services at the clinic, and regularly visits the clinic every two weeks or so, Widenoja said. The clinic serves 10 to 20 new patients every month, with the overall patient base standing consistently at about 2,000, she said. Medical services available include primary, acute and urgent care services, x-ray, casting and suturing of minor injuries, Widenoja said, along with some on-site lab work. Lab work not feasible on-site is sent to St. Charles Hospital in Bend via courier, with a response within 24 to 72 hours, she said. Some immunizations are also available, Widenoja noted. Health care in Oregon, at present, is in a world of tumultuous change, with regarding to the ongoing movement toward coordinated care in services of physical, mental and dental health care, Widenoja said. “We hope that with this new CCO arrangement, we’ll be able to integrate Lake County Mental Health, and utilize one of our rooms up here,” she said. Other programs include visiting nurses for Medicare patients as well as those VALUABLE SERVICES who are home bound from such medical See page 78 maladies as strokes, Widenoja said.

The North Lake Health Center is additionally a federally-certified rural health clinic for Medicare and Medicaid clients. This certification is key for receiving reimbursement that keeps the clinic’s operation feasible. Other unique elements include bringing students on board from Pacific University’s physicians assistant program. This spring, the clinic also brought on Oregon Health Sciences University’s first master’s nursing student. Future hopes are to integrate newer telemedicine programs, Widenoja said, noting a desire to keep up with modern technology efforts as it becomes feasible. North Lake County’s remoteness presents a number of challenges for providing services, Widenoja said. In recent times, hospice services previously available from La Pine Hospice dried up after the Texas-based company that purchased the business deemed travel to the North Lake non-cost effective. As a result, the clinic has worked to provide these services locally in an indirect fashion, Widenoja said. “It’s not a direct service,” she said, “but because we are the care providers, (we’ve supported the effort).” The clinic also has a limited indigent fund, which is dedicated to providing medi-

Other opportunities currently in the works include gas vouchers funded by stateadministered Special Transportation Funds. These vouchers will provide the availability of gas vouchers for those who need to leave the area for urgent medical care in non-emergency scenarios utilizing a volunteer pool of drivers. The benefit, locally, includes keeping the

ambulances in the local communities at the ready for emergency calls, Widenoja said. Six to eight times a year, a dental van comes to the area through Northwest Medical Teams, affording dental services for locals and circumventing travel time. The clinic also contracts with a dental hygienist that provides cleanings for a nominal amount, Widenoja said. Physical therapists, massage therapy, optometry and mental health services through the Lakeview Center for Change are also available through the North Lake Health Center. At present, recruitment efforts are underway for a chiropractor and acupuncturist, Widenoja said. Community education and health-related programs currently available include yoga, twice-a-week meetings of an alcoholics anonymous group, a weight-loss group and counseling services by Philip Dowsett. “We try to keep it related to health-related affairs,” Widenoja said. “It’s a busy, happening place.” Hours for the North Lake Health Center, located at 87520 Bay Rd. in Christmas Valley, are 8 a.m. to noon and 2 to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. After hours availability are as needed. For more information, contact the North Lake Health Center at 541-576-2343.

Summer Lake Store Celebrates 20 Year Anniversary
RYAN BONHAM/ Lake County Examiner
By Ryan Bonham Lake County Examiner
Located along the Oregon Outback Scenic Byway, the Summer Lake Store is celebrating its 20th anniversary in business under the ownership of Dale and Tallulah Chiono this year.
Motorists traveling down Lake County’s backcountry state Hwy 31 can find solace as well as gasoline just off the highway in Summer Lake, thanks to the Summer Lake Store. Owned and operated by Dale and Tallulah Chiono, the business celebrates its 20th anniversary under their proprietorship in 2013. Their acquisition of the business marked a return to Lake County after Dale’s employment at the time as a grocery buyer moved their family to the Portland area. It soon became apparent that the metro urban life was not all it was cracked up to be. While visiting friends Craig and Mary Foster on a weekend, the couple learned that the store was up for sale. At that time, Dale was working as a grocery buyer for Albertson’s and Tallulah, known by most as Tule, for the Canby School District. Both of their children, son Anton and daughter Jenna, were very small at the time, and it seemed to be the right time to re-
turn to Lake County, Dale said. They previously lived in Lakeview, where Dale worked for Safeway during the 1980s. “For the kids, it was a very good move,” he said. “Basically, it was a lifestyle change.” Dale noted that both Anton and Jenna went on to graduate from Paisley High School, moving on to college careers thanks in part to opportunities afforded them in Lake County. He lauded the quality education gained in the rural Lake County environment. “I can’t say enough about small schools like Paisley,” he said. “People don’t realize how special it is.” Dale noted that changes over the past two decades have mainly occurred in the buying habits of the public, particularly impacted by the big economic picture.

some consumers is the prospect of a better deal to be had in the larger cities, such as Bend or Klamath Falls, but Dale noted that the expense of travel often negates any perceived savings. “That may not always be the case,” he said of this notion of savings. Additionally, in a rural environment, replacement businesses are slow to replace those that disappear; in some cases they do not spring up in the wake of another. “Once you lose that service, you don’t get it back,” he said. Peruse the aisles of the homey rural country store, and it is apparent that variety is a prominent flavor. A little bit of everything can be found within its inventory, from snack goods to general groceries, cold drinks to fishing gear. The store also houses a U.S. Postal Service counter, which was among four sites in the county in recent times under consideration for closure. Thankfully the locals, all four post offices (Fort Rock, Silver Lake and New Pine Creek were also in the running) were spared closure by the USPS. “It’s a draw, and it’s a hub for the

community,” Dale said. Both Dale and Tule have been actively involved in the Lake County community. For 17 years he has served on the Lake County Education Service District (ESD) board, and, until June of this year, is on the Paisley School’s board of directors. Earlier this year, Tule took over as the executive director of the Lake County Chamber of Commerce. Busy seasons for the business, located along the Oregon Outback Scenic Byway, generally include the summer months, as travel-based tourism picks up. Throughout the year, the store also sees visits from those enjoying bird hunting, bird watching, riding horse trails and fishing at local destinations. Dale noted that the hunting seasons used to be among the biggest draws. Business hours for the store, located at 37580 Hwy 31, are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays.

Geothermal Heating Project Moving Forward
RYAN BONHAM/ Lake County Examiner
Lake District Hospital implemented infrastructure during its recent remodel and expansion with anticipation of geothermal-based heating. Lake County School District No. 7 schools were also retrofitted with the necessary piping and related equipment for this heating system upgrade. By Ryan Bonham Lake County Examiner
Lakeview is at the forefront of renewable energy development, not least of which is the Town’s geothermal heating project slated for construction and to go online later this year. The project, developed as a utility service that will be administered by the Town, is slated to provide heat to Lake District Hospital and local Lake County School District No. 7 schools using earth-heated water underground. Construction was anticipated to begin late in the spring, with a goal of being operational in the fall, according to Town of Lakeview Mgr. Ray Simms. The Town approved bids for installation and well-drilling earlier this year, while the local health and school districts entered into RENEWABLE ENERGY a service agreement with the Town in recent See page 90

years. Simms said the project’s roots date back to 1980 when an exploratory well was drilled on the property of Lakeview resident Jere Barry, who is leasing the well to the Town for the project. The well, at that time, was not developed for production but simply for discovery purposes, he said. In more recent years, Simms said a feasibility study by an Oregon Economic and Community Development grant, funded by lottery dollars, deemed the well as a viable source for such a largescale project. Water temperatures were found to be in the 180 to 190 degree range, with a capacity of 250 gallons per minute after a five-day test-pumping period, he said. “From that test pumping, we were able to determine a lot of the characteristics down there,” Simms said. A new production well will be constructed, along with a reinjection well for purposes of maintaining continued pressure and productivity, he said. The well will, ultimately, provide for the heating needs of Lake District Hospital and local schools nearly 100 percent of the time, Simms said, noting there may be
exceptions during extreme periods of cold weather. He referenced the extended periods of sub-zero temperatures earlier this year as an example. For this reason, the local districts have back-up systems in place for the sake of supplementary heating sources. Lake District Hospital CEO Charlie Tveit said that anticipated annual energy savings with the new system is estimated at $80,000. “We’re hopeful we’ll have that kind of savings,” he said. “We’re hopeful that was conservative.” The hospital is equipped with diesel back-up generators as well as propane and electrically-based resources. When the hospital was remodeled and expanded, the infrastructure was installed for the anticipated geothermal system. Tveit noted that the geothermal system would serve as the primary heating source for the hospital. Similarly, Lake County School District No. 7 Supt. Sean Gallagher noted that the energy cost savings expected from switching over to the new system would have a major positive impact on the district’s budget. “We really think the geothermal sav-
ings will be our savings grace,” Gallagher said in an interview centered around state education budget-related matters. The expected savings of switching from fuel oil-based heating to geothermal is between $80,000 and $100,000 a year, he said that time. The Town financed the project through U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development program up to $4 million, with U.S. Bank providing interim financing for construction. Simms said once the project is completed an online, the 40-year USDA loan will be repaid through utility charges assessed by the Town to Lake Health District and Lake County School District No. 7. State funding resources in the form of Business Energy Tax Credit Incentive dollars (BETCI) will also reduce the overall cost of the project, Simms noted. This project is, by no means, the Town’s first rodeo, in a manner of speaking. Over the past eight years, the town has successfully provided geothermalLy-based heat to Warner Creek Correctional Facility, Simms said, with little to no issues. “We have that experience on how things work,” Simms said.

Friends of Library Lend a Helping Hand
An estimated 38 members strong, the Friends of the Lake County Library District is an active group working to raise funds in support of the library district.
By Ryan Bonham Lake County Examiner It has been said that it takes a village to raise a child; similarly, rural communities rely on their pool of volunteers to support local institutions. Enter the Friends of the Lake County Library District organization, which was formed in 2011 as a vehicle with which to support the Lake County Public Library district. The group meets on a monthly basis to discuss fundraising efforts with proceeds benefitting the libraries of Lake County. “Basically, we’re working toward raising awareness toward the library in the community,” said Godelieve Uytenhove, a primary facilitator for
the group. When the group first formed about a year and a half ago, it coordinated a series of used book sales as fundraisers. This led, ultimately, to the establishment of a dedicated used bookstore site, known formally as the ‘Re-Read Room,’ directly across the street from the library on Center Street. The group also puts out a bi-monthly newsletter to keep its membership apprised of projects, library construction updates and even spotlights on

At present, officers for the Friends of the Lake County Library District include Christy Henderson, president, Sierra Asby, vicepresident, Jerry Evans, treasurer and secretarial duties are shared by Pat Patla, Carol Sullivan and Claire Reaume. The used bookstore is open every Thursday, from 12 to 4 p.m., as well as the first Saturday of the month from 12 to 4 p.m. The store is run by two volunteers, split into two shifts of two hours each. The group also hosts book sales within the main Lakeview library branch and ongoing silent auctions contribute to the fundraiser efforts. Continuing work by the Friends group includes a focus on increasing the public’s awareness of the library and its varied programs, Uytenhove said. The group recently contributed $1,000 to the library building fund, and is looking to help purchase furniture for the new main branch building. The building will also feature an area for the Friends group for book sales, Uytenhove said. Meetings are held on the first Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. at the main Lakeview branch of the library. Volunteers and members are continually sought, and meetings typically average 12 to 15 members in attendance. The roster features 38 paid members at present. Membership dues are $10 per individual, $25 per family, $50 for businesses and $250 for lifetime membership. “We’re hoping to find more volunteers for the library once we move,” Uytenhove said. “I’m pretty pleased in a year and a half with how the group has developed.” For more information, contact the Lake County Public Library at 541-947-2029.

Pop Warner Football Brings Out the Youth
ANTHONY BURROLA Lake County Examiner
By Anthony Burrola Lake County Examiner
Original organizers of the Lakeview Pop Warner league are, clockwise, Shelby Sutfin with daughter Tatum Sutfin, Matt Sutfin, Wyatt Julian and Dylan Julian.
For a long time, there was no city football league for Lakeview. About three years ago Daly Middle School stopped its program. Students would have to wait until entering high school before ever strapping on a helmet because elementary schools have no programs. By the time students reached high school, most of them had never played organized football, leaving them at a serious disadvantage against rival high school programs. Enter Matt and Shelby Sutfin. One day, when Sutfin, his wife Shelby and his two stepsons, Dylan, 10, and Wyatt, 7, were watching a game on television, the boys were bombarding him with questions. Their simple questions made him realize that they didn’t know the game at all, and it was through no fault of their own. “It occurred to me that they didn’t know what a fumble was because they had never seen it,” he said. Even the casual football fan understands what a fumble is, but Dylan and Wyatt did not. And it was understandable because they had slipped through the cracks of the system. The Sutfins had to have a solution. The boys couldn’t go through
8 years of schooling without ever having played organized football. To fix this problem, Sutfin did his homework, and was directed to Greg Sherrill in Klamath Falls, who is involved with Pop Warner Football, who walked him through the steps of how to create a program. But Sutfin and his wife would need support. They got the word out and called a meeting with everybody who was interested to iron out the details, answer questions, and alleviate concerns. To their surprise, a lot of people showed up. The support was encouraging, and led the couple to proceed to the next step: finding coaches. When asked how he was able to find coaches, Sutfin joked, “I begged and pleaded.” He asked every dad that came through to sign up his kid, and thankfully, some were happy to volunteer. The begging and pleading seemed to work for the team he coaches, which had four assistant coaches last season. Sutfin said, “Without volunteers, POP WARNER this program wouldn’t work.” See page 98 After he was able to reach his

Revamped Pool On the Horizon
Lake County Examiner File Photo
By Anthony Burrola Lake County Examiner
For over 60 years the Lakeview pool has provided summer-time hot weather relief to Lake County residents. Currently the pool, built in 1952 by the Lakeview Lions is in desperate need of repair. Mayor Mike Patrick has taken up the challenge to raise the funds to keep the pool operational and more.
It’s May 31, 1952. Britain just announced its first atomic bomb; the women of Greece have just been granted the right to vote, and the Town of Lakeview had the grand-opening for its first ever community swimming pool. The Lakeview Lions were instrumental in the building of the pool. Over the years they have continued to support the pool financially as well as through volunteer efforts. Uniquely, the Lakeview pool is heated by a geothermal well. It is one of only eight pools in the state that can claim the use of that technology and even fewer could have made that claim in 1952. The pool has worn down from time, usage, and general wear-and-tear. Due to holes and leakage, the geothermal well that used
to heat the pool is now operating at about 70 percent capacity, according to Town Mgr. Ray Simms. The Town is forking out tens of thousands of dollars in maintenance repair annually to fix the same problems year after year. “We’ll be able to keep patching it for another year or two or three,” he said, “but it’s getting to be a bigger chore every year.” It’s like a hydra: fix one problem and three more pop up in its place. In the grand scheme of things, the pool might not seem like that big of a deal, but to the people of Lakeview, few things matter more. For proof, look no further than Lakeview Mayor Mike Patrick, founder of the Save Our Pool Committee and champion of the Fund itself. Mayor Patrick created the
Save Our Pool Campaign in 2012, a pledge to raise $10,000 to donate towards fixing the pool. After he and his ten-person committee reviewed a 2002 study commissioned about Lakeview’s pool, they raised the stakes. “The Pool Committee decided that we should concentrate on saving the pool,” he said, “salvaging the existing pool with a few modifications to bring us in line with existing rules and regulations.” The committee learned of a local government grant and has made its goal clear: they want that grant. In order to give themselves a greater chance of success, they set some bylines. The $375,000 COMMUNITY EFFORT grant being See page 102

COMMUNITY EFFORT
From page 100
requested requires that the cities asking for it raise 20 percent of the funds themselves, which would amount to $75,000. The committee is aiming for $95,000, but has recently upped that goal to $100,000. They are also throwing in the sports kicker, according to Simms and Patrick. As of now, the pool is not in line with State regulations. “As it stands,” Patrick said, “you can’t earn points for the meets that are held at the Lakeview pool. We are working on reducing the lane length from 35 yards to a regulation 25 yards.” This will allow the revamped pool to host swim meets in which competitors could receive State points for participating since it will be in compliance with Oregon’s meter length. Both Patrick and Simms, spoke with effusive praise of the people of Lakeview and their support for the project. The Town has commitments from Lakeview Rotary, Lakeview Lions, Collins-McDonald, the Lake County Community Foundation, the Lake County Commissioners, the local ‘Save Our Pool’ fund, the Town of Lakeview, and several private donations that total around $93,000, and they still have a few months before presenting to the Grant Committee. They also have pending outstanding requests that they feel confident will net them

“They know how important this pool is to our community.” The committee has done its homework, estimating that the piping would cost $10,000, the filters $50,000, the geothermal well about $125,000, and the concrete about $93,000. These new renovations would extend the life of the pool to 20-25 years, a marked improvement over the year-by-year patchwork from which this program evolved. Doug Dollarhide, Robin Callaghan, E. Lynn Burkett, Rob Nichols, Ray Simms, Mike Patrick, Sharon Faulkner, Rob Thornton, Toné Shannon, Jerry and Taunie Evans all sit on the committee, and meet on Wednesday nights at Town Hall. If the committee succeeds and earns the grant, they plan to start construction this Fall, with the intent to reopen in June of 2014, according to Patrick. Since the pool season typically starts the first week in June and ends after Labor Day weekend, this time line meshes perfectly. “We’re overwhelmed with the support of the project,” he said. “Good people live here, have lived here, and continue to support this town and this project.” With any luck, those good people will enjoy a newly revamped pool next June.

Not Your Everyday Story
ANTHONY BURROLA/Lake County Examiner
By Anthony Burrola Lake County Examiner Most days are filled with routine monotony. Wake up, go to work or school, eat, relax, watch some television, go to sleep; typical everyday activities. But that’s not always the case. Every once in a while, something so sublime will happen that will transcend not only understanding, but also words. The human language, with all its intricacies and levels of sophistication, falls short in these instances. It’s rare, but it happens. In February of 1982, something happened that would forever alter the lives of fisherman Larry, wife Bev, and son Lincoln Hills, which words cannot do justice. The Night Orion Fell, a book written by Abigail B. Calkin about the tremendous story of Larry Hills, who was

Pictured is Larry Hills with a copy of The Night Orion Fell. trapped on his boat with his arms pinned in the drag line and his whole body exposed to the elements for two days, aims to right that injustice. Bev Hills is the reason the book was written in the first place, with her having done a wallpaper job for the author. Thanks to Bev, who was able to pique the author’s interest in her husband’s story while working on a wallpapering job at the author’s home, the story was able to get written. But it wasn’t easy. Calkin interviewed Hills over the course of a week to get his entire story. Prior to that, Hills had gone decades without talking about it. And who could blame him? “At first it put me in a tailspin,” he said. “I hadn’t talked
about it for 20 years. But it was therapeutic after a while.” Understandably so, given the gravity of the incident and its effects. After interviewing Hills, Calkin got busy on the legwork. She tracked down the people in the Coast Guard that had anything to do with Hills’ rescue, and was able to learn informa-
“We thought it would take 2 or 3 years. It wound up taking ten. That’s a long time spent having to relive such an event. ” —Hills tion to which he had never been privy. For instance, through the writing and researching pro-
cess, Hills and Calkin together learned that as soon as Hills’ boat, the FV Fargo, had gone missing, the Coast Guard started a search for him the moment he didn’t return to port. He also learned his location at the pointof-rescue. While he thought his boat had made its way to Washington, it turns out he was 24 miles south of Garibaldi. She was also able to get a hold of most of the people involved in the search and rescue, whom Hills would eventually communicate with. All together it took her about three years to reach seven of the eight people involved in his rescue.

This elapsed the timeline Hills set up in his mind. “When we started,” he said, “we thought it would take two or three years. It wound up taking ten.” That’s a long time spent having to relive such an event, which speaks even more to Hills’ strength. The writing process was painstakingly slow in and of itself. Aside from Calkin’s writing, Hills spent “hundreds of hours” on drafts and corrections. By the time the final draft manuscript had been sent to him, he was fatigued. “We did a lot of mailing back and forth,” he said. “I’d go through it on a separate sheet, line by line, page numbers; it was very time-consuming and very tedious.” In a strange coincidence, his book was finally finished in February of 2012, almost exactly 30 years from the date of the accident. Calkin and the Hills had the debut book-signing for the first edition at Howard’s Drugs in Lakeview, and they had quite the turnout. The culmination of his story, and all the hard work that went into transcribing it, finally paid off for Hills. “Actually getting the book done,” he said, “and having people comment on it, felt
good.” To Lakeview, Hills is a household name. But one of the most deceptive things about life is walking by a man and thinking you know his story. Sometimes, you never really know. In Hills’ case, you need only read his Hills book, like thousands of others nationwide have done. One day, this book will probably be turned into a movie. And it may not be Tom Hanks playing Larry, or Helen Hunt playing Bev, but it will be better than Castaway regardless because we know that it derived from a true story of the triumph of love and the human spirit.

Lake County Senior Center: a historical hub
RYAN BONHAM/Lake County Examiner
Weekly lunches are a regular occurrence at the Lake County Senior Center. The site also serves as the meeting place for the Lakeview Lions Club and a regular communal gathering place for visits by political dignitaries or other community events. By Ryan Bonham Lake County Examiner Not too many buildings within the Lakeview community hold as varied a history as the Lake County Senior Center. The unassuming two-level structure, located on South G Street directly across from St. Patrick Catholic Church and the U.S. Post Office, dates back nearly a century and previously housed Lakeview’s local hospital. The building was built in 1920, serving as the Lakeview Public Hospital until the early 1970s when Lake District Hospital relocated to its current (and recently renovated) South J Street location. The building evolved into the Lake County Community Center in absence of its medical use, with non-profit status granted to its board of directors in 1982. The Lake County Senior Citizens Association now continues this building’s operation, providing a multitude of services primarily dedicated to local seniors, said Dir. Connie Steward. Steward noted that the building’s centralized location has lent itself well to community-wide events, such as political forums during election years and visits by state dignitaries. “Because of its location… it’s used quite a bit for those kinds of things,” she said.
Located on South G Street directly across from St. Patrick Catholic Church and the U.S. Post Office, dates back nearly a century. Funding for the senior center is funneled through the Area Agency on Aging, which is federally funded under the Older Americans Act. Funding provides for meals in Lakeview, Paisley, Summer Lake and Christmas Valley. Other programs included elder abuse awareness, general information and assistance for seniors and Oregon Project Independence, a limited care-giving program for eligible seniors. Seniors served by the center are those age 60 years and older, Steward said, who noted that the center’s role as a social hub has changed through the years. Some folks are still working well into that decade of their lives, while others are volunteering elsewhere or actively involved with other groups in the community, Steward noted.
“People of that age group are typically doing other things, now,” she said. “We’d really like to reinvigorate (the center) and capture the interest of younger people.” Transportation services are available through the senior center, including in-town for meals and also for needed travel for appointments. Steward noted the bus travels to Klamath Falls once a month. In the North Lake area, transportation is available to La Pine and Bend, Steward said, a couple of times each month. The transportation programs are funded through Special Transportation Funds coordinated with the state. A steady meals-on-wheels program is also available through the center, which currently serves about 20 to 25 individuals, Steward said. Participants are typically homebound or have other health issues that prevent them from leaving their homes. “The people that receive those meals depend on that (program),” Steward said. Senior lunches are served each week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, she noted, which typically draw in a varied crowd. Adding to the numbers are weekly Lakeview Lions Club meetings HISTORICAL HUB on Wednesdays, See page 110 she noted.

Also housed within the senior center the Low Income Home Energy Assistance program, which is funded federally for lowincome residents struggling to pay the everrising energy costs. In the last year, Steward indicated that the programs served 1,250 clients in 650 households. A thrift shop stocked solely by tax-deductible donations from local residents is also another key part of the senior center. Steward noted this component has been a successful addition, and is run by one part-time employee along with volunteers. From clothing to books, housewares and more, the thrift shop is open Mondays through Fridays, 1 to 4:30 p.m. “That’s one of our most successful things,” Steward said. “We serve a real broad base through there, too.” The governing board of directors for the Lake County Senior Center includes Darryl Bender, chair, John Bunch, vicechair, Patsy Newton, treasurer, Bev Bender, secretary, Mary Anderson, board member, Bill Hoffman, board member and Teresa Thomas, board member. Hours for the Lake County Senior Center, located at 11 N. G St., are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. For more information, call 541-947-4966.
