Up, Up, And Away By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner

Lakeview may be more renowned for hang gliding, but one family chooses another means of getting off the ground, in their hot air balloon. For Bill Goodman and Amanda McAdams, both employees of the US Forest Service, it was while stationed in New Mexico when the ballooning bug bit. “Some friends invited me to come help out the grounds crew one day, and I got more involved from there,” recalls Bill Goodman. Being not far from Albuquerque, N.M., hot bed of ballooning, the Goodman’s found themselves getting more involved in lighterthan-air recreation. Bill would assist ground crews, the team that helps with setting up and retrieving the balloon, and occasionally would get to fly with friends. As his enthusiasm for the sport grew,

Nicknamed “Butterfly” The Goodman’s Balloon makes a colorful vision in the sky. Bill went through the rigors of pilot certification. Just like with pilots of other aircraft types, hot air balloons are regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), requiring extensive ground school and flight training to obtain a pilots license. While involved in ballooning for years, it had never occurred to them to actually purchase their own balloon, until a friend suggested it. “I don’t know why we had never thought of it before, but figured why not,” laughed Goodman. In 2010 the Goodman family bought a large yellow balloon approximately 60 feet by 65 feet, naming it “Butterfly.” Since moving to Lakeview in 2012, Butterfly has made its presence felt in the skies often, weather permitting.

They also plan vacations well in advance to participate in the annual Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, the world’s premier ballooning event held every October. Driving from Lakeview to Albuquerque, N.M. pulling a large trailer is no easy feat, dedicating a solid week for the trip down, participating in the event, and the return journey. Just getting a hot air balloon off the ground is no easy task, requiring a team typically of six people, with only three or four able to go for a ride. It takes approximately 30 minutes of preparation to get airborne. Since a balloon pilot can HOT AIR BALLOON only control altiSee page 6 tude, directional

We Do The BASICS!

control is at the mercy of the winds, and it requires people on the ground to track and retrieve the balloon wherever the pilot chooses to land. Pilots have a saying that any landing you can walk away from is a good one, and this certainly applies to ballooning as well, where often wind currents can send them to unintended locations. Often the Goodman’s may end up landing in a farmer’s field, or locations far more undesirable. “The longest landing I did was on the west mesa of Albuquerque, the winds had picked up and we put about a 700 to 800 foot skidmark in the sagebrush,” Goodman recalls. Goodman remembers another time they collided with a cactus during a landing, causing a large hole in the basket. While flying comes with certain risks, the biggest threat in ballooning is actually to the ground crews from people who run in front of the basket during a landing. Other traffic can also pose an issue, especially at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, where the sky is flooded with balloons. Goodman explained that this often isn’t too much of a problem as long as it is the balloons bumping, but if baskets collide it can

cause some serious issues. Other times flights can turn into humorous stories, as with a flight Goodman recalls when the winds completely died while Butterfly was over a farmer’s house. “We sat there hovering above this guy’s house for half an hour casting a large shadow, he came outside to find out what was happening, and I was worried we might run out of fuel and have to land on his home.” The balloon has brought the Goodman family a little notoriety around Lakeview, whether out flying, or driving around town when their balloon stickers are spotted. “People do occasionally stop and ask about it, and when we land some people will usually show up, but everyone’s been nice about it,” said Goodman. The Butterfly Balloon even has its own Facebook page. Ballooning can be a relaxing experience, a completely different kind of flying, and it is an opportunity Bill uses often to soothe those who have fears of flying. “It’s my favorite part, getting new people up there, even people I know that don’t like flying in fixed wing aircraft enjoy the calm and quiet.” There are skills competitions held for balloon pilots at various events, such

as targeting bullseyes with bean bags or landing contests, but Bill chooses to avoid all of that. Ballooning has become a family affair, with their daughter Audrey also often participating in the experience. When the winter weather turns to warm summers the Goodman’s plan to get Butterfly airborne over Lakeview as often as they can, lightly following the summer breezes wherever it may lead.

Suezie Cosentino displayed and sold examples of her decorative egg art at the 2013 Lake District Hospital Holiday Fair event. By Ryan Bonham Lake County Examiner

RYAN BONHAM/ Lake County Examiner

A close-up of one such example of a Christmas ornament reveals the extremely detailed design work of Cosentino.

Consider Suezie Cosentino an artistic eggspert. All poorly-executed puns aside, Cosentino’s unique brand of creative crafts feature highlydetailed designs built around varied types of eggs. Last fall, she debuted her works at the Lake District Hospital Auxiliary’s annual Holiday Fair event; a showing that proved to be a successful one. This unique pastime is one that Cosentino inherited from her sister, an avid decorator of eggs for 15 to 20 years, she said. Initially, Cosentino didn’t take much interest, with her creative tendencies leaning toward sewing and seamstress work. Eventually, she gave egg decorating a whirl, and the rest, as they say, is history. “I was hooked right off, because it’s so fun,” Cosentino said. Her sister provided her with two or three lessons before she moved to Lakeview in May 2012 with her husband, Joe. The couple discovered Lakeview en route to the Grand Canyon one year, and decided to move to the area in retire-

ment. Joe worked for the Oregon Department of Transportation, while she previously worked for the Department of Consumer and Business Services. Cosentino said that she pursued the hobby in earnest in the spring of 2013. Most designs stem from pictures as a point of inspiration. Most eggs utilized, which range from those of finches and geese to ostriches and Rhea in sizes, are purchased through her sister, and, once a design is determined, she will draw it on the egg and then drill or carve it on the egg shell. “You just go from there, and use your imagination,” Cosentino said. The size of the egg upon which an individual project is based largely determines what sort of design element is selected, Cosentino said. Generally, she creates most of her designs utilizing free-hand work, though there are pre-formed patINTRICATE EGGS terns available, she See page 10 said.

INTRICATE EGGS

From page 8

Decorations range from plastic flowers and beads up to Swarovski crystals, glass or crystal pearls and gold or silver pieces, Cosentino said. “That all costs a little more to try, but it makes it worth doing,” she said. The selections displayed at the Holiday Fair were, appropriately enough, Christmas-themed ornaments. The typical time investment into creating such a piece may range from four hours all the way up to 40 hours for a larger egg with more intricate details. “I don’t charge much for my time,” she said. “It’s mostly the materials. I love to create, whatever it is: clothes, food, whatever I’m creating. I love to see the finished product.” At the Holiday Fair, Cosentino said she had 130 eggs made and sold 22 during the course of the two-day event. Future projects Cosentino would like to develop include larger-sized egg jewelry boxes, featuring more scenes inside and designs featuring fairies and angels with more elaborate levels of detail. “I’ve got some pretty good ideas now,” she said. Cosentino is always seeking new sources for duck, goose, rhea, ostrich and other types of eggs.

The Lakeview airport hangar has many renovations planned.

Airport a Family Affair

By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner When it comes to operating an airport, Lakeview keeps it in the family. The Andrews’ have grease and gas in the blood, everyone chipping in to fix engines and maintain the airport facilities, with big plans for the future. Tom Andrews has been an aircraft mechanic for over 25 years, coming to Lakeview initially on a parttime basis to assist with repairs before taking over operations when the previous manager retired. His wife Julie is also an aircraft mechanic, as is their oldest son Josh, with three additional younger kids also aspiring to either fix ‘em or fly ‘em. While their friendly dogs roam the grounds welcoming visitors, family time spent together usually translates to engine or airframe repairs. It’s a full-time job keeping an airport running, maintaining the grounds, fuel supplies, aircraft maintenance, and

whatever else randomly pops up each day. Lakeview’s airport was constructed in 1943 by the military for pilot training. It is an unusually long runway for a small rural community airport, a necessity during the war to accommodate heavy bombers and military training aircraft. When the war ended in 1945 so too did the need for a military base, but remnants of its war past remain as relic ammunition bunkers line the road just outside the main hangar. In addition to the daily maintenance, Tom and Julie are working to improve the facilities available. The main hangar building constructed in 1943 recently received a new door FAMILY AFFAIR and conSee page 14 crete floor.

FAMILY AFFAIR

From page 12

Bucking rivets and cleaning bolts comes naturally to the Andrews family. Their oldest son Josh has been working alongside his dad on airplanes and helicopters since he was 14, while their other children, Jordan, Caleb and Mariah, are all involved in some way. Their youngest, Mariah, hopes to be a pilot someday, while Jordan and Caleb enjoy working on cars as much as airplanes. Josh’s wife is also mechanically-inclined, and their newborn child Rylan seems destined to grow up with a wrench in hand. The Andrews’ plan to clean out an upstairs storage room on the main hangar and convert it into an observation deck, providing a better view of the runway. The current downstairs office will be modified into a pilot lounge, complete with bed and shower for those staying overnight. “Some mornings we show up and there’s somebody sleeping on the hangar floor, so there’s obviously a need for those passing through who need to get some rest before continuing on their way,” said Tom Andrews. Other upgrades planned include improved fencing and security and a 24-hour webcam so pilots can see current weather conditions. In September both taxiways are going to be repaired, and a 2.3 million dollar grant has been approved to repave the

“Some people in town don’t even know Lakeview has an airport,” said Julie Andrews. Operating an airport can be a lot of work, but it is anything but mundane. The airport provides plenty of action, from forest service operations and medical emergency flights, to the occasional pilot error goof or comical moment. Through it all, the Andrews family takes it in stride as just another day on the flight line. “Anything from new experimental aircraft that were built wrong and don’t even make it to the end of the runway, or logging and firefighting helicopters losing engines on approach with a full load of logs, there’s no shortage of things going on,” joked Tom

Andrews. Operating hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week, but often hours extend longer as needed. Summer is the busiest time, with typically 10 to 15 aircraft coming through Lakeview per day. The airport hopefully soon won’t just be a home for large planes either, as negotiations are underway pending FAA approval for the local radio-controlled airplane club, known as the Airheads, to have their own airspace to fly model aircraft at the airport. There are also discussions of sailplane and glider groups coming to Lakeview to take advantage of the air pockets that already draw so many hang gliders to the area. “Some people in town don’t even know Lakeview has an airport,” said Julie Andrews. “It’s been pretty quiet for the past eight or nine years around here, but we plan to change that,” Tom Andrews added. The Andrews family hope to organize several social events once some of the current upgrades are completed to create a stronger bond between the airport and community, with ideas being discussed such as a pancake social and an open house barbecue for the public.

RYAN BONHAM/ Lake County Examiner

A small sampling of the antique elegant glassware that can be found inside the showroom of the Feather Your Nest antique store in Lakeview. By Ryan Bonham Lake County Examiner Walking inside the front showroom of the Feather Your Nest antique store reveals the epitome of any collectibles store: miscellany, and plenty of it. At initial glance, and even after a full exploration of the store’s expansive inventory, it is difficult to pinpoint the collective eras represented by the varied items contained therein, but rest assured that ‘multiple decades’ would barely scratch the surface. From the hundreds of pieces of elegant antique glassware neatly organized by dozens of shelves to an equal number of DVDs just across the room, elder historical eras meet contemporary times within a few short footsteps’ distance. Kathleen Rodgers, owner, operator and a 20-year resident of Lakeview, said she’s had her doors open since 1999. Previously a corrections officer with the Lake County Sheriff’s Department, Rodgers said she acquired the business from

its previous owner who’d operated it six months before suffering medical issues. For two or three years, Rogers split working duties between her full-time day job working at the jail and running the business; eventually, she decided the business became her full-time enterprise. “I’ve always been interested in older things,” Rodgers said. “You never know where the next treasure is coming from.” In recent years, Rodgers added video games, DVD movies and some electronics to appeal to more contemporary customer demands, as well as in recognition of the lack of a local retail video store.

whole lot of unusual requests.” But by no means does the inventory end with the front room. Strolling to the back warehouse unit, there is even more variety, an excess of miscellany that seeps from every square-inch on tabletops and shelves; a veritable sea of collectibles. The greater part of an entire shelf unit features 16-ounce soda pop bottles that range from the recognizable Coca-Cola and Pepsi brands to those lesser seen, such as Royal Crown and Nesbitt. Another shelving unit features exclusively porcelain figurines, while still another is chockfull of solely Christmas decorations. Distinctive ceramic beer steins and logo’d mugs fill still another level and a half of shelving, and crystal glassware can be spotted by the hundreds. “I try to keep my prices very low to be competitive,” Rodgers said. Along with retail sales, Rodgers also buys and trades on a regular basis, especially fine jewelry, electronic media and general antique items. “I tell people if it’s something they see in my store then it’s something I’d consider buying,” she said.

E-books Success SUBMITTED PHOTO

By Ryan Bonham Lake County Examiner

No question, technology has had an undeniable impact on just about every facet of our modern society; including the publishing industry. Gary Casteel of Paisley can attest to the opportunities afforded by electronic publishing, having recently published his latest e-book offering via Amazon. “SEAL WARRIORS — Most Wanted (Part 2),” is Casteel’s latest offering, e-published through Amazon in March. The story centers around a 20-year decorated SEAL presented with an ultimate opportunity to utilize his training as his re-

tirement approaches. Caught between doing what is right and risking violating international law if caught, the story features details of accurate training, equipment and missions of SEAL warriors, Casteel said. “Shades of Crimson,” published in February, traces a couple’s troubles in the wake of their daughter’s disappearance after settling in a rural Eastern Oregon community. “I’ve always been, as far back as I can remember as a child, into novels,” he said. Casteel said that his stories are built around memories from his own life, includ-

ing his years serving in the U.S. military. In retirement, he felt a strong desire to explore those memories and experiences by putting them down on paper. In doing so, Casteel rediscovered his love of writing. His first published efforts were for Motorhome magazine, which led to additional freelance opportunities. “I nearly fell out of my chair,” he said. “It was the first time I’d ever E-BOOK SUCCESS tried to write See page 22 something for

E-BOOK SUCCESS publication.” Casteel said he wrote a number of freelance articles from that point forward, traveling via motorhome full-time until he eventually took a job with Harley-Davidson. After eventually settling in Paisley for permanent retirement, Casteel resumed his writing endeavors, particularly inspired after his daughter bought him a Kindle. He eventually learned of the new electronic venue of publication, and his Amazon store currently has 10 titles available for purchase. Early in his childhood, Casteel lived in Hollywood, Calif., with his father plying a trade as a plumber. Their next door neighbor happened to be an editor at Variety magazine, a prime publication that kept tabs on the entertainment industry. While at play one day, the neighbor observed Casteel and suggested to his parents that he had potential as an entertainer.

From page 20 He eventually did some modeling work as well as work in television. The arduous balance of work and school led to his attending the Hollywood Professional School, a facility whose roster includes such notable names as Ryan O’Neal and Betty Grable among others. This was no walk in the park for Casteel, as he noted all the classes were college preparatory in nature. One of the more lasting memories from that era of his life included performing in the film “Royal Wedding” with Hollywood notables Fred Astaire and Keenan Wynn. The latter legend was a particularly fond memory, Casteel noted. “He was so funny…,” he said. “He was like a kid. Keenan Wynn had more fun playing with the kids than he did making the motion picture.” Casteel also confessed that seeing the famed Elizabeth Tay-

lor left an indelible impression on him at an early age. Eventually, Casteel transferred to California Military Academy, which was run by retired military officers and, like Hollywood Professional School, featured very challenging academics. He later attended Lynnwood High School, located in the area bordering Watts and Compton, which marked his first foray into public school. His drama teacher applied for and was awarded a scholarship for Casteel to attend the Pasadena Playhouse without his knowledge, but ultimately the military beckoned to Casteel. Knowing he wanted to travel and interested in electronics, he enlisted at the age of 18 in the Air Force. Casteel’s military career spanned a total of 26.5 years in the Air Force, which included 11 years of enlisted time and 15 years of commissioned time. He also later earned a master’s

degree in human relations from the University of Oklahoma. Casteel noted that his multiple experiences over the course of his lifetime, ranging from his years at Hollywood Professional School as a youth to his career in the military, inspired his pursuit of a larger scale project. Tentatively titled “My Many Lives,” Casteel said it would trace his personal biography. “I’m doing it because I enjoy it,” he said. “I enjoy writing, and it is bringing in a surprising amount of money. The money is nice, but it’s more something I need to do for myself.” For more information, visit Casteel’s Amazon store at http://www. amazon.com/s/ref=ntt_athr_ dp_sr_1?_encoding=UTF8&fieldauthor=Gary%20E.%20 Casteel&search-alias=digitaltext&sort=relevancerank.

Improved Health Care Services SUBMITTED PHOTO

By Ryan Bonham Lake County Examiner Lake Health District’s venture into Modoc County of northern California has proven to be a boon for medical services for its residents. Now going on four years in operation, the district’s Modoc County clinic, doing business as Stevens Parkview Health Care, located in Alturas a short distance of 56 miles to the south of Lakeview, has afforded an expansion of health care services for Modoc residents. Lake District Hospital CEO Charlie Tveit noted that the facility’s newer 1,950 square-foot facility and newer equipment has expanded health care services and saves residents on extended travel. In the event that patients need to travel to a larger hospital facility, Lakeview is a considerably closer haul than Redding, Klamath Falls or Reno, he said. The clinic’s primary purpose is to fill a need for available health care services. One such example of a service available through Lake District Hospital and not available in Modoc County is that of MRI. The hospital will have a fixed MRI unit installed and operational by July 1, replacing the previous mobile service that was utilized up until

Lake Health District’s venture into Modoc County has proven to be a boon for medical services for its residents. Stevens Parkview Health Care located in Alturas, has been operating for four years now. that date. Tveit noted that the clinic has increased revenue to the district, but has also improved the availability of quality services for both Lake and Modoc county residents. “Our quality continues to improve,” he said. “What Goose Lake does is it has helped us bring in better quality (of service) to Modoc County.” A specific example includes the district’s recent changing of radiology service providers, which has improved the quality of imagery through more specific requests of image types by specialists providing diagnostic services. The clinic has been in operation for the past 3.5 years, Tveit said, officially opening under the district’s oversight in the summer of 2010. As a rural health clinic, services include family medicine, two doctors, a nurse practitioner and lab services. Familiar local medical professionals that provide care at the clinic include Dr. Cheryl Bongiovanni with wound care and Dr. Mark Bradbury, MD, who performs a clinic at the Alturas site and surgery services in Lakeview. Tveit noted that technology has afford-

ed telemedicine services at the clinic, utilizing mental health services as an example. Through telecommunications infrastructure, patients may consult with a mental health therapist via video teleconferencing; a concept similar to Skype communications media, he said. The clinic is also electronically tied to Lake District Hospital via an electronic medical records system, he said, which affords for vital information and file sharing. As for long-term prospects, Tveit said that future growth will dictate the possibility of an additional office facility. “We want to continue providing high quality outpatient services in Alturas,” he said. “We’re very close to outgrowing the facilities there.” The possibility also exists for additional evening and weekend hours to allow for more efficient usage of the facility. Business hours at present are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. For more information, contact the Stevens Parkview Health Care, located at 535 S. Main St., Alturas, at 530-233-2288.

Bob Skelding of Valley Fall has driven a wagon pulled by draft horses for 10,000 miles around America.

Wagons Across America Photo and Story By Toni Bailie Lake County Examiner Do you get depressed by dire news in the mass media? Here’s another perspective from Bob Skelding of Valley Falls. He has driven a wagon pulled by draft horses for 10,000 miles around America. “Ninety nine percent of folks are good people,” Bob says. “Americans are the most charitable on the face of the earth. On my travels, I’ve never encountered a bad person.” In 2008, Bob was living on a small farm in New Hampshire, working as an electrical maintenance instructor in a nuclear power plant. Then life offered him a “do-over.” Bob had recently divorced, his kids were in college and he was dissatisfied with his job. “I listed all the things I liked the best and the things I liked the least,” Bob says. “Then I erased all the things I didn’t like and decided to drive a horse-drawn wagon around the country.” In August, 2008, Bob headed out from Deerfield, N.H. in a wagon pulled by four Percherons. His wagon was retrofitted as an RV with solar power. He towed a trailer behind the wagon with 110 gallons of water and feed for his horses. “On that trip I never had to buy hay,” Bob says. “People generously donated hay all along the way.” On Feb. 2, 2009 Bob was driving through Mississippi when he was rear-ended by a tanker truck traveling at 70 mph. The wagon was totaled, two of his horses were killed, and Bob was hospitalized with serious injuries. Four months later, he had recovered and began searching for a new wagon and team. His friend Bernie Harbets sold him a wagon for a biscuit from Bojangles Restau-

rant. He purchased a pair of Belgians, Bob and Bill, who proved to be strong, willing and kind. Doc, one of the Percherons who survived the accident, was growing restive in retirement, so he joined Bob and Bill pulling the wagon. “These guys like to work,” Bob says. On the road, the team averages 100 miles per week, pulling an 8,000 pound load up mountains and across deserts. “The horses are gentle giants and super ambassadors,” Bob says. “One lady told me she’d had a bad day, but just petting the horses made her feel better.” Bob often takes the team to nursing homes and schools. The horses are careful around disabled people, standing still and gently nibbling goodies from outstretched hands. “Seeing the horses and wagon brings a smile to people’s faces,” Bob says. “It brings excitement into their lives. These are the most photographed horses in the country, everywhere people take their pictures.” On his travels, Bob has driven from Indiana to Michigan, through Texas, New Mexico and up the west side of the Rockies. “When you wake up in the morning, you never know what the day will bring or who you will meet,” Bob says. As they were toiling up “Heartbreak Hill” in New Hampshire, they passed a five-star restaurant. The chef rushed out and offered him a meal on the house. Within a few minutes, Bob was dining on chateaubriand and a fine wine. In April, 2012, Bob and his team began a 2,800 mile loop through the American West, traveling through Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Washington and

Oregon. When they pulled into Valley Falls, the horses were weary after covering 120 miles in five days. Jacquie Bass, who owns the Valley Falls RV Park, offered them a pasture to rest for a few days. Jacquie had moved to Valley Falls in 2007, in search of a place for her rescue animals which include two miniature horses, two llamas, three birds, two dogs and several cats. When Bob resumed his journey to Arizona, he invited Jacquie to accompany him. “I love adventure,” Jacquie says. “We met so many generous, kind people on that trip.” At Crowley Lake in Northern California, they were invited to stay overnight in a yard in a residential area. In Nevada, someone left bales of hay by the road with their name on it and a road crew delivered the hay to their camp site. Another accident on Nov. 14, 2012, sidelined their journey. Near Lake Havasu City in Arizona, they were rear-ended by a car, but there were no injuries and only minor damage to the wagon. People from Southern California volunteered to truck the horses back to Valley Falls and Bob towed the wagon home on a trailer. For now, Bob and Jacquie are making short trips with the team, including a threeday campout at Mill Flat Lake near Valley Falls. This spring, they plan a journey around Oregon. Bob’s goal is to explore new places, meet people and tour the country at a slower pace. To view Bob’s blogs of his travels, or purchase his book: www.wagonteamster. com

Warner Valley Haven for Geological Fans By Ryan Bonham Lake County Examiner

RYAN BONHAM/ Lake County Examiner

Plush-based Weee Rock Gem & Mineral Studio is a family affair, with the Muhleman family (Caitlin, l-r, Melissa, Evan and Megan) involved in, pun fully intended, every facet of the business.

RYAN BONHAM/ Lake County Examiner

A small sampling of some of the beautiful gemstones and jewelry available at the shop.

For Melissa and Evan Muhleman, their business is a way to rock out in the most literal sense of the phrase. The couple, which owns and operates the Weee Rock Gem & Mineral Studio in Plush, noted that the business is not a flight of fancy, by any stretch. Originally from Redmond, Melissa noted that she grew up on a rock mine and her parents still own a recreational Thunder Egg mine located outside of Prineville. Now in their fifth year of operation, the Muhleman’s Weee Rock Shop represents the couple’s means of staking a permanent Lake County claim; pun fully intended. “We wanted a place to establish ourselves,” Melissa said, noting that she and Evan had been visiting the area for about 9 years to mine sunstones. The Weee Rock Shop is relatively expansive in its overall goods and services, allowing customers to mine their own sunstones or purchase already-prepared items. Available for sale at their Plush storefront are rough sunstones, cut-and-polished Thunder Eggs, jewelry and jasper; the latter of which Melissa said is a particularly popular item. In their on-site workshop, the Muhlemans have an ample collection of equipment that affords them coverage on the varied stones and products that they carry. Included in their inventory are high-speed sanders, grinding and polishing wheels that can all be utilized for preparing half-stones for such jeweled items as pendants, Melissa said. “We’re also set up for silversmithing and wire-wrapping,” she said, noting that the shop’s capabilities include virtually all types of jewelry making. Wire-wraps are a specific specialty, Melissa said, and are such a popular item ROCK FANS that the Muhlemans hold wire-wrapping See page 32 classes twice a month, by reservation.

Additionally, the Muhlemans have a bunkhouse overnight rental cabin for visitors, recognizing the need by visiting tourists for lodging in the remote reaches of Lake County. Included are all the needed amenities for a comfortable stay, with a full kitchen, airconditioning and full furnishings right down to a queen-sized bed and futon-type features. This year will mark the third summer in operation for the bunkhouse, Melissa said. “We started it up (in 2012) to see how it would go, and it went really well,” she said. Muhleman described the business as a unique addition to the Warner Valley area, which is known as the gateway to Lake County’s unique sunstone region. “It is very unique,” she said. “It helps with our economy out here, and it’s just such a beautiful store. It’s such a rugged terrain… it’s so calm and peaceful out here.” Melissa said that customers often visit the store en route to the sunstone mining area to gain an education on what it is they’re looking for. Evan also noted that they have equipment available for these visitors that are embarking upon a mining trip. Evan, who also works as a pilot for Withrotor Aviation, performs the needed maintenance for keeping all of the business’s necessary equipment running, including its larger-scale equipment such as a backhoe and excavator. Ultimately, however, it’s the thrill of the hunt that Evan enjoys the most. “I really enjoy the chance of trying to find a good stone… the digging,” he said. Melissa and daughters Caitlin and Megan oversee customer service along with the polishing and grinding of stones, reflecting the family-based structure of the business.

Silver Lake Cemetery holds the bodies of those who died in the Silver Lake Tragedy.

Recalling Silver Lake’s Greatest Tragedy

RYAN BONHAM/ Lake County Examiner

By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner

From terrible tragedy in Silver Lake heroes and reforms emerged saving countless lives, but only after a near-unthinkable loss that still impacts the small community more than a century later. Christmas eve is usually a time of celebration, and in 1894 it was no different, as almost the entire community of 200 gathered in Clayton Hall on the second floor above the Chrisman store. By the evening’s end, a fire would claim the lives of 40 people, with three more dying in the following days from injuries suffered that night. The hall was approximately 24-by-50 feet, with long benches facing a stage, and a brass coal-oil heater known as a Rochester Lamp hanging from above. The only entrance to the room was a narrow stairwell, with doors at the bottom opening inward. It was a particularly cold night, with temperatures dropping 20 below zero, but folks inside were nice and warm. A Christmas tree stood on stage, paper chains were strung along the rafters, while children dressed as angels performed skits and songs. As events drew to a close, 18-year-old George Payne stood up to leave, walking along one of the benches to make his exit. He accidentally bumped into the Rochester lamp, causing some of the oil to spill out, immediately catching fire. Francis Chrisman immediately ran up and took the flaming lamp down, quickly

Rochester Lamp similar to the style which was bumped and ignited the Christmas Eve fire of 1984, in Silver Lake. carrying it towards the exit. Others panicked, swatting at Chrisman’s arms in an attempt to smother the fire, their efforts instead knocking the lamp out of his grasp, spilling the remainder of the burning oil across the floor. People clamored for the corridor leading to the lone exit, jumping through the flames then shoving their way down the narrow passageway to the doors below. Many were trapped at the bottom in the crush of bodies, making it impossible to open the doors. One person that did escape early was Lucinda Schroder, but rather than seek safety she selflessly acted quickly to save many more lives. She returned to the doorway, forcing it open and shoving people outside to relieve the bottleneck of bodies stacking up against the inward-opening entrance. Schroder was among the victims that night, possibly trampled by the crowd or succumbing to the smoke and fire, but were it not for her heroic actions and ultimate sacrifice many more would have died. As the fire grew, other heroes sprang into action. Residents brought a ladder to a balcony under the two windows behind the stage where some panicked attendees had gathered. Walter Duncan was one of the individuals who used this mode of escape, then assisting 20 others to also leave the fiery chaos, until the balcony collapsed under the weight.

A water pump was used to spray people as they stumbled out, many with their clothes on fire, but shortly after the hose jammed, the stairway packed with people collapsed. Now there was no escape for those trapped inside, and people outside could only listen in horror as their loved one’s cries for help slowly subsided. As the building burned, Ed O’Farrell was frantically riding south, making the 100-mile journey to summon the closest physician to Silver Lake, Dr. Bernard Daly of Lakeview. For 19 hours O’Farrell braved freezing temperatures and large snow drifts to reach Dr. Daly, and by 4 p.m. Christmas day O’Farrell had arrived with news of the disaster. Within an hour O’Farrell and Dr. Daly were headed north in a buggy, stopping for fresh horses along the way in Paisley and Summer Lake. By 6 a.m. Dr. Daly was in Silver Lake treating victims of the fire, saving the lives of all but three that had suffered wounds. Silver Lake’s resident physician W.M. Thompson had been in Summer Lake when the fire started, but when he learned of the events he too immediately traveled back as quickly as he could. Dr. Thompson and Dr. Daly worked tirelessly, a saloon and other nearby RECALLING THE PAST buildings being See page 36 converted into

burn wards. The aftermath was a grisly scene to behold. The building had been almost completely destroyed, lost with it too the lives of 43 residents of the community; 16 men, 19 women, and eight children. 30 others suffered injuries.

In 1898 a 10-foot monument was built in the Silver Lake Cemetery to honor the 43 victims of the fire. Few remains of victims could be identified, ashes and bone fragments were gathered up and placed in a single coffin. Silver Lake lost nearly a fifth of its entire population in one night, almost every family in the area losing at least one member. For several years thereafter no Christmas Eve celebration was held in Silver Lake, it was too somber a time to celebrate. In 1898 a 10-foot monument was built in the Silver Lake Cemetery to honor the 43 victims of the fire. While the fire left an indelible black mark, the after-effects of the tragedy would go on to save many lives. Dr. Daly, having become famous nationwide for his efforts when word of the fire spread, would go on to serve in the state legislature where he spearheaded a campaign to require all doors on public buildings to open outward, preventing future fires from claiming lives due to the fatal flaw of the hallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entrance. Those claimed in the Silver Lake fire may not have been saved, but the lessons learned guaranteed that never again would so many be lost due to an inward-opening doorway

Board of Commissioners Address Many Issues with Common Ultimate Goal

RYAN BONHAM/ Lake County Examiner

By Ryan Bonham Lake County Examiner

No two days are ever alike; all three members of Lake County’s Board of Commissioners fervently agree that this is the essence of serving the Lake County public. Forest health. Economic development. Highway improvements. State and federal funding opportunities. To cap it all off, an estimated 8,000 square miles of territory encompassing the county of Lake, Oregon’s third-largest county by geographical area, for which about 7,900 residents call home. Brad Winters, Dan Shoun and Ken Kestner are the three men that represent the entirety of Lake County on the aforementioned issues and more. Each have their admitted specific issues of fervent interest, but all three share the common goal of maintaining the maximum quality of life for the county’s residents. Winters is a native resident, having been born and raised in Lakeview. The 1979 Lakeview High School graduate worked for several years as a millright by trade, and also is a small business owner. Winters, first elected in 2000, said his initial desire to serve on the board stemmed from a fundamental love of his home county. He spent a year attending commissioner

meetings and observing the county’s budgeting process before running for office. “It’s harder, once you’re elected, looking out at the audience and the press to uphold the policies and procedures… that we’re governed by,” he said. “It all seems WINTERS easy when you’re not the one sitting behind the desk… making the best informed decisions for the citizens of Lake County.” The board serves as an authority over multiple county agencies, such as both public and mental health as well as the airport, which requires extended research for varied issues related to each. Winters is particularly passionate about transportation issues, serving as the chairman for the Area Committee on Transportation. He recognizes the vital economic role that the state highways play for the county. Winters lobbied for funding for significant projects, including the straightening of an infamously curvy stretches of Hwy 140 near Beatty as a joint effort with Klamath County.

Efforts are currently underway to straighten out a segment of the same highway over Bly Mountain Pass, which would aid in getting commercial truck length restrictions lifted and allowing for more commercial traffic to come through Lake County. Similarly, Commissioner Dan Shoun is a long-term Lake County resident, living in Paisley for the past 42 years. Shoun retired in 2006 as the interagency deputy fire staff for both the U.S. Forest Service and Lakeview District BLM following a 32-and-a-half year career with the U.S. Forest Service, and was elected in 2007. Shoun’s previous community involvement included 17 years of high school basketball coaching for Paisley and also 14 years as a Paisley City Councilor. He affirmed Winters’ citations of the daily challenges associated with the position, in light of limited available resources, and, in some cases, awaiting year-to-year funding renewals at the federal level. Such examples include the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-DeterminaCOMMISSIONERS tion Act and PaySee page 40 ment In Lieu of

Taxes programs. Shoun is particularly passionate about the issue of public lands, specifically on topics related to forest management and health issues. Some three-quarters of Lake County is public lands, he noted, with a number of issues associated by such a high percentage of public holdings that relate to the local economy and natural resources. Multiple-use forest management practices are a key element in bringing back the forests to healthy levels, he said, with a need to remove non-marketable biomass materials off the forest lands to aid in this goal. “Managing and utilizing these renewable resources is compatible with other concerns,” he said. Shoun additionally serves on the Wildland Fire Leadership Council, which is a White House-appointSHOUN ed group that has a goal of working toward consistent forest management.

Both Winters and Shoun place an emphasis on an open-door policy with the public, despite what he described as “outlandish rumors” that occasionally surface within the community. He also affirmed Winters’ value placed on maintenance of the roads for the sakes of both commodity transport and motorist safety. Both Winters and Shoun place an emphasis on an open-door policy with the public, despite what he described as “outlandish rumors” that occasionally surface within the community. Ample public meetings offer plenty of opportunity for the public to get a first-hand view of how county government functions. The most gratifying part of the job? “I feel good when we’re able to accomplish things that we feel will help our citizenry,” he said.

Lake County’s Board of Commissioners toured a Paisley geothermal powerplant site as part of their December 2013 board meeting held in Paisley. Each quarter, the board holds a meeting in the communities of central and northern Lake County.

RYAN BONHAM/ Lake County Examiner

Reflective of their holistic representation of Lake County in its entirety, the commissioners discussed Christmas Valley Airport issues with Park and Recreation District representative Ron Wilson at a March 2014 meeting.

Similarly, Commissioner Ken Kestner shares a public lands background with Shoun, having spent 26 years with the Forest Service and six years with the BLM. He spent five years on the Los Padros National Forest, followed by 14 years on the Willamette National Forest during the spotted owl era, and then six years with the BLM in fish, wildlife and botany. He’s called Lakeview home since March 2000. Kestner’s interests include that of local family ranching heritage, having grown up on a family farm. Other priorities that Kestner is firmly impassioned about include health care, education and safeguarding the local economy. While agriculture typically sees a cyclical pattern of both tough and good times, Kestner is optiKESTNER mistic for the long-term for Lake County’s farming and ranching industries, in light of population growth and demand in urban areas for organic goods. Sage grouse and wild horse population management issues are current examples of influential topics with a direct impact on those ranchers who utilize public lands for livestock grazing, Kestner said. Health care is an ever-evolving topic in light of changes underway through the Affordable Health Care Act, that address both the younger and aging populations, Kestner noted. Education is also among Kestner’s passions, as he reflected upon the positivelyranked schools of Lakeview and additional development, such as the Innovation Learning Center, coordinated with Klamath Community College as an instrumental player. Additional focus is now addressing early, formative years of education, Kestner said, just as the Coordinated Care Organization concept is placing new focus on preventative measures for health care. Key to addressing all these issues, of course, is proactiveness on behalf of local government, Kestner said. “You have to respond to people, and it should be expected,” he said. “When they see a county commissioner is committed, they see a community is committed.”

Rose grew up cooking in a family of seven children. Before moving to Paisley, she operated Tubby’s Café in Myrtle Point and the Coquille Broiler. Her specialties are breakfast orders, burgers, chicken fried steak and chicken fried chicken. At the Homestead, she hosts several community groups – Volunteers in Paisley, Sunshine Club, Bunco and card players and Senior Meals (served 1st and 3rd Tuesdays at 11:30 a.m.) Paisley’s historic Pioneer Saloon has been extensively remodeled by new owners Terry Leinbach and Sandy Leimbach. (That’s not a typo on the spelling of their last names, but it’s quite a coincidence!) Terry and Sandy were looking for a business where they could work together on the east side of the mountain. In Mt. Angel, Terry had a landscaping and concrete curbing business. His construction skills have been put to good use at the Pioneer. He’s added booths in the main room; created an upscale outdoor patio complete with bar and stage for visiting bands; and expanded the game room which now boasts shuffleboard, pool table, computerized dart board and a high-tech jukebox with a playlist from the Internet. The Pioneer has sponsored a Mosquito Run for motorcycle enthusiasts and outdoor dances for the Paisley Mosquito Festival. Motorcycle and jeep clubs mention the Pioneer on their websites, recommending a stop for the great pizza and burgers. The Pioneer also hosts Texas Holdem on Mondays and Thursdays. The Pioneer is open seven days a week from 7 a.m. until closing and can be reached at 541-943-3289.

Buzzing Good Time in Paisley Photos and Story By Toni Bailie Special to the Lake County Examiner

Lake County Examiner File Photo

The annual Mosquito Festival often draws in float entries that reflect the good humor and good-time nature of the event. Colorful characters from Paisley’s past will come alive at the Mosquito Festival slated for July 25—27, 2014. Paisley historian Carolyn Pottorff has been writing biographical sketches of interesting people buried in the Paisley Cemetery and recounting her own adventures growing up in Paisley during the 40s and 50s. On Saturday morning, after the Mosquito Festival parade, local actors will portray some of these humorous and intriguing individuals. The drama will be staged in the former K&L Market, which new owner Duane Graham has renovated. Carolyn will be on hand to autograph copies of her book, Colorful Characters From Paisley’s Past. The Mosquito Festival is great family entertainment -- there is something for all ages to enjoy. Without leaving the county, you can participate in a variety of activities: 10 K race; parade at 10 a.m. on Saturday, followed by Colorful Characters reenactment in the K&L Market; traditional pit barbeque; vendors’ alley; art show in the Community Center;

Ranch Rodeo at the Paisley Rodeo Grounds on Saturday and Sunday, and a ‘play day’ on Friday. What is the history of Mosquito Festival? On Aug. 4, 1984, volunteers hosted the first festival. Elected by popular ballot, Ms Quito led the parade which featured modern and antique farm equipment. Visitors for the event could wield their guns at a turkey shoot, race a raft down the Chewaucan River, sample beef roasted overnight in a pit barbeque or enter the “Spittin’, Hollerin’, Cussin’” Contest. Proceeds from the Festival helped purchase mosquito fogging equipment and electric mosquito zappers, placed strategically at twoblock intervals. The zappers proved ineffective, but each summer an antimosquito mist keeps the insects under control. By 1986, Mosquito Festival had expanded to include draft horse and mule pulling contests, a 10K MOSQUITO See page 48

A horsesized mosquito held pride of place in the parade, while Carol Jones reigned as Ms Quito. Robert Shotwell, a correspondent from the Oregonian, wrote up the event for his publication. In 1987, Oregon Public Broadcasting filmed the unique festival. Leading the parade in 1988 was Ms. Quito Kari McAllister and Paisley Pioneer Norman “Snooks” Bannister. A Jackpot Axe Throw and 50’s Classic Car Cruise and Dance were featured activities. No Mosquito Festival parade would be complete without a creative entry from the Gaylord family and friends who converge on the old Gaylord farm house each summer in July. One year, a “Swat Team” marched to a military cadence, clad in Army fatigues, brandishing giant mosquito swatters. Another year, their float featured a replica of the Paisley Rodeo announcer’s stand and a giant mosquito saddled up for the bucking bronco event.

A Welcome Rest Stop RYAN BONHAM/ Lake County Examiner

Silver Lake marks northbound motorists’ last chance for gas and eats before the LaPine junction, and the Feed Barn Café affords a homey opportunity for solid meal and rest before motoring on.

RYAN BONHAM/ Lake County Examiner

Feed Barn staff includes Lesley Dark, l-r, Amy Baker and owner/operator Kathi Wenick.

By Ryan Bonham Lake County Examiner

As Oregon State Hwy 31 winds and curves its way northbound to its endpoint at Highway 97, once past Summer Lake, options for a brief respite and tasty meal become nonexistent for travelers; until they reach Silver Lake, that is. In truth, it’s an ideal point of respite

for travelers, whether they are commercial truck drivers or mom and dad tooling up the highway en route to a vacation destination, with the kiddies wailing away in the back seat for a much-needed break. Lo and behold, like a desert mirage shimmering in the rugged outreaches of northern Lake County, there sits The Feed Barn, conveniently just south of Highway 31 in the heart of Silver Lake. The weathered and simple ‘Café’ sign draws the passing motorist’s eye off the south side of the roadway, with a simple yet inviting diner set back a short distance from the highway. The Feed Barn, a homey and isolated restaurant located in the final stretch before the highly trafficked commercial junction at LaPine some 40 miles up the road. Business owner and operator Kathi Wenick noted that the location is relatively recent, having previously run the restaurant in Christmas Valley for some 4.5 years. It was in December of 2013 that she moved the business to the site of the former Silver Lake Café. “People who are liking it most are people from Lakeview and Paisley, because it’s a nice stopping point on their way to Bend,” Wenick said. At present, she is leasing the building with an option to buy come up in the spring of 2014. Wandering into the quaint, countryesque diner setting, one can expect to find a menu with a breadth of appetite-quashing

items, from sandwiches right on down to palette-cleansing desserts. “We can’t hardly keep up on the desserts,” Wenick said, noting an array that includes cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, pies and more. On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, sub sandwiches and pizza are additionally available, she said, and breakfast is available all week long. Relocating the business to the main Highway 31 thoroughfare in Silver Lake has proved beneficial, Wenick said, reporting ample traffic passing through the area. “It’s going to get busy,” she said. “It’s a pretty well used highway, here.” Whether patrons are seeking a spot to stop, stretch their legs and sit down to a solid meal or make a quickie pit stop, options abound, as The Feed Barn is prepared to issue orders to go. Future changes include installation of a smaller pizza oven to better facilitate onsite preparation and possibly some general aesthetic improvements to the building, Wenick said. Key to any eatery, of course, is consistency of hours and quality of food, which is a hallmark philosophy for The Feed Barn, she noted. “We’re just good and consistent and we’re here,” she said. Business hours for The Feed Barn, which is located at 65320 Hwy 31, are 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week. For more information, call 541-576-3333.

Flowerree Park — Visual and Recreational Asset By Ryan Bonham Lake County Examiner RYAN BONHAM/ Lake County Examiner

Signage details Robert E. Flowerree Memorial Park in Christmas Valley’s features, all of which were implemented in a multi-stage approach. Christmas Valley is located in the heart of northern Lake County’s rugged high desert country, where outdoor recreation and destinations are in no short supply. A local resident in recent years, however, has worked to develop a local recreational site for the community that has proven to beautify the local landscape as well as afford locals a family-friendly place to enjoy and treasure. Robert E. Flowerree Memorial Park is the brainchild of Christmas Valley’s John Flowerree, who initiated the project some six years ago in homage of his father. Located conveniently just off of the Christmas Valley Highway in the central part of the community, the park provides a marked contrast in the

rugged terrain of the surrounding terrain. During the warmer months of the year, the surrounding grass is lush and green. In the northwest corner of the park is an enclosed tennis court area, while paved walkways afford visitors routes in which they may enjoy a furtive walkabout. In the centerpoint of the park is a roundabout planter which houses the community Christmas tree, for which a tree lighting ceremony is hosted by the Christmas Valley/North Lake Chamber of Commerce each holiday season. “I promised my father, before he died, I would build a park in his name,” Flowerree told the Examiner early in the park’s making, circa 2008. Robert passed away in May

A playground area and picnic tables are also amongst the family-friendly highlights for the park. RYAN BONHAM/ Lake County Examiner

Most recent additions include a covered stage area for public entertainment. Musical acts are slated for this year’s Fourth of July festivities once again. RYAN BONHAM/ Lake County Examiner

2006, after having lived in the Christmas Valley for some 30plus years, and so his son felt that the park was a more than appropriate manner in which to memorialize him. Much progress has been made on the 2.3-acre park since its initial construction effort. Along with the aforementioned features, there is a playground area for youngsters to romp around and frolic and also picnic tables for communal friendsand-family gatherings. More significant developments included the construction of a covered stage area during the summer of 2013, which has already seen considerable use. That summer, a music festival event drawing in bands from throughout the Pacific Northwest was held, and musical entertainment also served as a major component at the 2013 Fourth of July festivities; an element that will continue this year, said Becky Tocol, president of the Christmas Valley/ North Lake Chamber of Com-

merce. This year’s holiday festivities, recognizing the birth of this great nation, will feature two or three bands performing on the stage, Tocol said. A considerable array activities will be held throughout the community, including a parade, destruction derby and a variety of games for fun-seekers of all ages. Tocol also noted that the park has proven to be a major boon and welcome addition to the community. As the weather turns sunny and warm, parents and their children often head on down to the park to enjoy the wide, open spaces in which youngsters may play and grownups can relax and visit. “I do see a lot of people using the park,” she said. “We do see lots of people and their children using it.” Tocol noted that the overall feedback from the local community has been nothing but positive. “It‘s much, much appreciated,” she said.

KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner

Today Favell-Utley celebrates its centennial, still in the same building the company has occupied for all but the first three years of existence.

Years of Helping

By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner In an Aug. 25, 1960 article in the Lake County Examiner, Harry Utley was quoted as saying, “We hope to carry on for another 50 years” upon announcement of his retirement from the family business he had co-founded, Favell-Utley Realty. Now celebrating 100 years of business and still owned and operated by the Utley family, yes Harry, they have indeed carried on with the same family-first, community-driven approach that has made the Favell-Utley brand such an indelible part of Lake County. The story of Lakeview’s current longest-running family operation begins in Flint. Mich. on Aug. 29, 1883 with the birth of Harry A. Utley. After working on carriages Utley headed west, spending several years in Idaho working at a hotel until he joined a railroad surveying team, mapping out lines before one route brought him through Lakeview. Choosing to make a homestead in Valley Falls in 1908, by 1910 Utley was making his first mark in the community as the first paid game warden in the county. As game warden Utley visited all the ranches in the area, finding the hospitality so welcoming that he knew he had to make Lakeview his permanent home, and learning a few things about land management in the process. By 1912, Utley was ready to put what he had learned to practice, forming a real estate business with his cousin William Curtis, only the

second realty company in the entire state of Oregon. The partnership was short-lived, in 1914 Curtis sold his share of the company to Howard Nolte, forming the Nolte-Utley Company. Three years later Nolte’s stake in the company was bought out by Eugene Favell, officially forming the now familiar Favell-Utley brand name. Favell-Utley found a new permanent home, purchasing the building at 120 N. E St., in Lakeview from Dr. Bernard Daly. While Favell-Utley has bought and sold countless acres of land, the property the company has called home has not changed since. Together the Favell’s and Utley’s ran the family business, buying up land in the Westside and fencing the area while active in ranching. In 1926 the company became a hybrid organization, purchasing an insurance company. Ever since Favell-Utley has operated within both roles, providing the community with insurance and land sales. The company was active in the community as well. Harry Utley helped establish the first Lake County Round-up, then known as Railroad Days. Utley was the first rodeo clown for the annual event, assuming a character he nicknamed “Cy Perkins”, handing out candy to children and entertaining the crowds with his hilarious antics each year. Harry was also the President of the Chamber of Com100 YEARS merce and the Lake County Fair Board. See page 56

100 YEARS

From page 54

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Nolte-Utley Realty Company in 1917 shortly before it became Favell-Utley. As Harry Utley’s health declined following decades of prosperity in the partnership between his family and the Favell’s, a new generation of Utley’s took over. His son Robert assumed control of the business, carrying on the traditions established by Harry

Utley, who passed away in 1960. It was business as usual with Robert at the helm, and soon Robert’s four sons, Scott, Randy, Larry and Terry, found themselves involved in the family tradition as well. By 1969 the Favell side of the operation was ready to retire, selling their ownership to the Utley family and moving to Klamath Falls. Despite the Utley’s now being sole proprietors, the company had been known as Favell-Utley for so long it was decided to just keep the name. Now into the fourth generation of Utley’s, the company continues to prosper as a family business, Larry’s son Joseph the newest member. Terry Utley keeps busy as owner of Arrow Realty providing rentals to the community, while still licensed as an insurance agent and shareholder of FavellUtley. From the founding a hundred years ago when Harry started the business to Joseph being the next in line, the company has stayed true to its philosophies regarding business ethics and community outreach. “We’ve been an integral part in developing Lakeview, this community has been really good to us,” said Larry Utley. “We feel that to be involved in the community we have to give back what it has given to us.” The family members stay active in the

community associated with various organization and clubs, while the family business actively sponsors and participates in annual events such as the rodeo, parade and Christmas celebrations. Harry would be proud to see how the company has stayed true to his way of business, helping out the community he loved, while Favell-Utley carries on for what they hope will be another hundred years.

Hay!

Take A Look At This House!! Photos and Story By Sharon Liddycoat Special to the Lake County Examiner

House of Stone and Straw Beautiful Stucco with a finish coat of earthen pigment from France, completes the building of this house, now a home. Now begins the challenge of landscaping at high altitudes with plenty of critters to help them design the final shape!

Great Ponderosa timbers rise up around me. Natural stone, rosewood and Juniper flickers just at the edges of my peripheral vision. I am surrounded by silent, softly falling snow that drifts down all around me and my hosts. It frosts the tips of the evergreen forest branches, and accents the bright azure-blue flashes of Steller Jays flitting by. It is as though I am sitting in the midst of the wilderness, but I am dry, warm and encased in a remarkable house. Tucked away among tall Ponderosa, groves of Aspen and mountain vistas, stands one of the most unique homes in Lake County. This Straw-Bale house is what owners Cam and Christine Newton call a Hybrid house. Expecting a modest, one story typical bale home, visitors walking up and over a rise are astonished to find themselves standing before a breathtakingly tall stucco

Now that the house is finished, the Newtons wait for fair weather to begin landscaping. Happy with the beauty of their home, they enjoy crisp early Spring days and yearround spectacular views from their front deck.

dwelling. The house is a whole log Post and Beam Infill structure. The post and beams support the roof and allow creative use of levels, windows and doors. Within a minimally framed wooden structure, straw bales are stacked like bricks in this post-andbeam configuration. The compacted bales are strapped together and then covered with a fiberglass mesh, pinned into the bales, allowing the stucco a place to hang. Stucco is applied in three layers of varying thickness. The first coat is called the “scratch coat.” This coat is scored, or scratched to allow the second “base” coat to adhere. The base coat smooths the surface and fills in any major depressions. The final, thin “finish” coat goes on and is textured. Coating on the outside of the house is around 1 1/2 inches, and the plaster inside is about half that amount. “It really made the most sense to us in this climate,” says Cam. “There are three layers of stucco outside, and two layers of plaster inside. Essentially we have this incredible thermal mass encased in stone. “ Fire safety tests done in Canada show that plastered straw-bale walls withstood temperatures up to 1,850 degrees F for two hours before a small crack appeared in the stucco. Compression insures there is little air to provide combustion. Compressed straw bales have a high R-value insulating quality. In the case of the Newton’s home, this year’s highest monthly electric bill for their 3,000 square foot home with large windows and a 35 foot-high great room ceiling, was $152. Their best month was $74. They heat with an in-ground geothermal system, and supplement with a wood-burning and

masonry fireplace combination. Upon seeing it, you would not know that this is a straw-bale house were it not for the pictures of its construction and the traditional installation of a “Truth Window.” Truth Windows are part of a tradition of cutting false windows into the inside wall of homes to reveal straw-bale and timber construction. The Newton’s framed opening is not only art, it shows off the normallyhidden structure that helps hold their home up and insulates it. It is the inner anatomy of architecture. The geographic beauty of Lake County draws many people who value lifestyle over convenience. The innovation and beauty of this dwelling is directly linked to the diverse skills and artistic talents of the Newtons. Though Christine calls herself a Graphic Artist, she works in a variety of mediums. Samples of her artwork can be found throughout their home and in the design of the house itself. Her creativity also serves her well in her work as a Masters level clinician and Liaison. She began working 9 1/2 years ago for a national clinical crisis call center, staffed with Masters and above mental health professionals. The Center contracts with community mental health agencies, university counseling centers, Federal agencies and employee assistance programs. The move to Lake County and the retention of her job was possible because telecommuting is an option. Originally she answered HOUSE OF STRAW phones as a crisis See page 60 counselor.

On-line reviews state in part; “Cam Newton’s compositions reflect his appreciation for music of cultures all over the world.” “Cam’s creativity is inspired by his love of nature and the wilderness.

HOUSE OF STRAW From page 60 out of the library and heard music coming from the Park Blocks and decided to investigate. “I heard this amazing music. I had never heard anything like this, and as I walked up these three guys were playing. One of them was Cam and I thought to myself, ‘Maybe I should get to know him a little better,”’ she recalls. About six months later, Christine walked into a class she was auditing, and there sat Cam with a number of mutual friends. They went out for coffee following the lecture and talked for hours. Cam says excitedly, “On that first date, I knew! I got the shot up my spine. Here she is! This is the one I’ve been waiting for all my adult life. We could talk about anything and everything!” They got married while still in school. By then Cam was tired of touring and did not want to move to Los Angeles to advance his musical career. His heart and soul belonged to Oregon. He was particularly drawn by the beauty and diversity of the Great Basin. He explains, “I didn’t want to go to LA, I had been on the road, toured all over and was tired of that lifestyle. So what was I going to do with music? Because music is my life what was I going to do?” His mother suggested he go and listen to a speaker regarding Music Therapy. Cam,

Critically acclaimed guitarist Cam Newton sits in his studio, playing one of his compositions for 12 string guitar. reluctantly and quite skeptical, went to the presentation. Cam exclaims, “I didn’t want to teach music. I’m a doer. But when the speaker finished, I realized, ‘I’m the perfect guy for this!’ It takes great generosity of spirit. You’re not doing it for the money, that’s for sure. I went to Willamette University on a scholarship and, became a registered music

therapist. I discovered I loved working with elderly. Alzheimer’s was my specialty “Music is the most powerful catalyst to bring people together. It breaks through isolation and generates positive social energy. It’s truly amazing to see people come alive as their favorite songs are played and sung. They remember not only the words, but what was happening in their lives at the time- important events. In the case of Alzheimer’s disease, some of the last remaining memories are associated with music. It is deeply gratifying to be able to give something back.” Cam’s work as a music therapist has been featured on PBS affiliate KOPB-TV. He hopes to one day continue his work in Lakeview. His future plans include the production of a new album and perhaps a West Coast musical tour. How he and Christine found the site for their home is a story for another time. For now, they have built a home that nurtures connection to nature, art, and music. The entire property acts as inspiration for creating visual and audible works of art. Drawn together through a mutual desire to heal others, and through the love of art and music, they live in a place that gives them great joy. Location, dwelling and inhabitants exist in a beautiful harmony.

Unique Destinations Photos and Story By Ryan Bonham Lake County Examiner Lake County is home to a number of unique people, places and things, but the northern reaches of the county, in particular, houses a trio of truly unique destination points. A short distance northeast of Christmas Valley is the geological phenomenon known as Crack-in-the-Ground, an interesting and cavernous formation that features a narrow walking path surrounded by towering rocky walls. When most folks think of sand dunes, the Oregon coast would be the initial location to come to mind, but the Lakeview District BLM manages a considerable amount of acreage east of Christmas Valley. Likewise, many folks might not expect to find a dedicated forest in the midst of north Lake County’s rugged high-desert terrain, but that’s precisely what is located near the sand dunes. All three of these locations are just one more outdoor recreation opportunity for residents and visitors alike.

the Memorial Day holiday weekend. ATV vehicles are required to carry a permit matching its size and weight category. From Christmas Valley, travel east about 8 miles and turn left onto the County Road 5-14C, which is marked by a BLM sign. This road will tee off with County Road 5-14D; turn right and continue eastbound. There is BLM signage directing motorists to the dunes area. Amenities near the dunes include primitive areas for camping, with no water, restrooms or other facilities, such as trash disposal, available on site, so campers must take out all that they bring in with them.

Lost Forest Both the Lost Forest Research Natural Area and Christmas Valley Sand Dunes are administered by the Bureau of Land Management, and are located fairly close in shared proximity. The Lost Forest is a unique designated ancient ponderosa pine stand in, of all places, North Lake Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trademark high-desert landscape. A unique factor to its location is the fact that it is isolated from the nearest forested areas by some 40 miles of desert; hence the aptness of its name. The forest lies amidst a bedrock layer of basalt flows that date back to the Pliocene and Pleistocene eras. The Lost Forest covers a territory of about 9,000 acres, of which the BLM deems 4,153 acres prime forestland featuring old-growth trees dominant on the stands. The BLM established the Lost Forest Research Natural Area in 1972 in order to preserve the unique forest site.

Crack-in-theGround Perhaps the most unique experience of this trio is visiting Crack-in-the-Ground, located closest to the town site of Christmas Valley. Described as a volcanic fissure, this geological wonder is 2 miles in length and up to 70 feet in depth. The roots of its creation stem from volcanic activity, and represents the western edge of a small volcano-tectonic depression located on the southwest corner of Four Craters Lava Field in the Deschutes National Forest.

Crack-in-the-Ground is truly a geological wonder and accessible by visitors of all ages and hikers of skill ages. Good footwear is highly recommended, however, due to occasionally tricky footing.

Traveling east on the Christmas Valley Highway, signage indicates the northbound turnoff about three miles outside of town. From there, it is a 7.5-mile drive to the parking area, which features a single restroom unit. From the parking area, it’s a short quarter-mile trail walk to the site itself. The rocky cliffs at ground level present an impressive vantage point from which to gaze down into the yawning, jagged darkness, though it is extremely advisable to take great care when approaching the edge for a quick peek. Following the pathway into Crack-inthe-Ground is an experience comparable to the Richard Donner film (and filmed in Oregon, to boot), The Goonies. The air chills in the shade created by the majestic skyward rocky walls, and moss as well as ice can both be found in frequent spots. The farther along one progresses, the more one can appreciate this unique geological site. Some things to keep in mind, however, for maximum enjoyment. Good, solid shoes are a must in light of occasional bits of loose and rocky ground. Once in the lower reaches of Crack-in-the-Ground, cell phone signals become nonexistent. For more information, visit http:// www.fortrockoregon.com/Crack.html.

Moss and icy conditions can be frequently found within the cavernous reaches of Crackin-the-Ground, indicative of the shady enclaves that make for fun exploration.

A single public restroom facility is available in the parking area for Crack-in-the-Ground. A short quarter-mile walk, which takes less than 10 minutes, leads visitors to the destination.

Fort Rock a monument to Oregon’s Explosive Past By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner

KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner

Fort Rock’s impressive walls tower over the small visitor center below at Fort Rock State Park.

It stands ominously conspicuous towering over an otherwise vast flat valley, the ancient walls of volcanic rock that comprise the rim of Fort Rock State Park in the high desert of Oregon’s North Lake County. Fort Rock is the remnants of a tuff ring formed around 100,000 years ago, the result of lava reaching the surface through a fissure and encountering large amounts of groundwater causing rapid cooling, steam, mud, and volcanic glass shards to explode from the surface. As layers of shards and mud shot from the ground it formed a large ring around a broad crater, creating Fort Rock. Today it is one of the many fascinating geological formations providing evidence of a time in Oregon’s past when the area was largely covered by a shallow sea and more temperate climate. When Native Americans first arrived in the area, Fort Rock was an island plentiful in food and wildlife in the middle of ancient Lake Chewaucan, of which today’s Lake Abert and Summer Lake

KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner

From inside Fort Rock’s open south end a view emerges of the entire valley below.

are the last surviving remnants of this once massive lake. Originally a complete rock ring, wind-driven waves and erosion caused the eventual collapse of the southwest wall of Fort Rock, leaving behind a horseshoe-shaped structure. . The walls stand as an almanac of sorts for archeologists, showing different water level marks over the centuries as Lake Chewaucan rose and fell. Time has eroded away much of the original ring and all of the ancient lake that once surrounded it, but the vertical walls still tower 300 feet above the desert floor, now full of holes and cracks where birds and wildlife make their homes. Located a mile north of the town of Fort Rock, it is a State Park covering 370 acres, open to visitors year-round on lands donated by Reuben and Norma Long in 1962 and leased from Lake County by the Bureau of Land Management. As the lake slowly dried up and grassy marshes were replaced by arid sagebrush, caves emerged in the rocks that had been carved by water over thousands of years, creating the perfect dwellings for Native Americans. Archeologists expect that despite the climate change around 9,000 years ago, the surrounding caves were occupied by humans for more than 11,000 years. Artifacts such as sandals and baskets woven from sagebrush bark have been discovered in caves scattered throughout the Fort Rock basin made by the ancient residents who once called the area home, as well as mats, arrowheads, spear points and fish net weights. It has been rumored, but no evidence remains that can substantiate the claim, that the rock formation proved invaluable for cowboys and passing wagon trains, utilizing the area as a defensive position to keep a watchful eye for attack from Native Americans, leading to the appropriate title of the landmark for its natural fortlike shape. It being an advantageous position is obvious upon entering the park, as the steep walls are nearly impossible to traverse rising, while EXPLOSIVE PAST the open side provides a wide-open See page 74

Hawks, eagles, and other birds of prey nest in the high walls, while gophers and other critters scatter about the park’s floor. A small visitor center provides a space for picnics as well as informative plaques near the parking lot and along the trail providing background information on the formation of the impressive natural structure and its inhabitants. Also provided are pamphlets on how to handle an encounter with a cougar, just in case some of the larger occasional residents happen to make their presence known. Hiking trails lead a path from the visitor center up to the entrance, following along the interior walls to experience the vastness of the ring, providing plenty of secret hiding places for the adventurous to explore across the nearly mile-wide diameter. Lake County’s northern section provides a wealth of historic formations to experience presenting the unique geological past that formed the area, including Derrick Cave, Hole in the Ground, the Lost Forest, Crack in the Ground, and Fossil Lake. None in the area can compare in sheer scale however to the awe-inspiring majesty of this lava formation that has seen many uses over time as a home and place of refuge for many over thousands of years.

New Opportunities for the Community By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner

It stands out as the shiny new gem on the valley floor, Lakeview’s 2.5 million dollar library facilitating all of Lake County with its literary and media needs. The final touches of construction are an ongoing process, but since November 2013 the facility has been operational, providing a wealth of services for the Lakeview community as well as being the facilitator for each satellite branch of the library in Paisley, Silver Lake and Christmas Valley. “The old library didn’t expand significantly in size, but the services did, like audiobooks, films, public computers, microfilm, VHS

KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner

After many years of raising funds, Lake County’s new library opened last fall.

and DVD, music collections,” said Amy Hutchinson, director of the Lake County Library since 2007. Trying to house all of that became a near impossible task in the small wing of the courthouse, causing an overflow of books, only one reading area, and an administrative nightmare. In 1994 the first steps were taken towards the new library when a consultant from the state library completed a needs assessment for the physical space, concluding what was already glaringly obvious, more space was needed. It was determined that a building with approximately 12,000 square feet of space would be required, far exceeding the available area in the courthouse. Despite the desperate need, plans sat for nearly a decade in various stages of completion. By 2003 the librarian at the time, Cecil Elder, was spearheading the cause, working to acquire the lot and have the house that occupied it torn down, developing architectural plans, and leading

fundraising efforts. Elder’s untimely passing once again brought a delay to the plans, with several interim library directors trying to keep the ship afloat for several years. A major boost to the cause came with a $500,000 grant from the Ford Family Foundation. The remaining $2 million to cover the initial cost was compiled from multiple fundraisers, donations, and tax revenues, which were helped immensely by the construction of the Ruby Pipeline. Finally, 10 years after initial architectural plans were drawn up, the new Lakeview library opened for business in November of 2013. Finishing touches are still ongoing with hopes of it being more or less completed sometime this summer. The current lack of acoustic paneling on the ceiling makes nearly every conversation audible for everyone in the building, some of the desks OPPORTUNITIES are currently See page 78 folding tables

until permanent desks can be installed, windows lack trim, and more furniture is desired, but even in its mostly-completed state the response has been overwhelmingly positive. “We are so happy to be able to offer the public more space and services than we could at the old building,” said Hutchinson. Far more than just books, the new space accommodates all kinds of activities that were either severely limited or simply not possibly previously. The library houses over 42,000 volumes of books, over 1,000 audiobooks, a large collection of films, music, public computers, and even telescopes and GPS units. Online they provide downloadable eBooks, audiobooks, and films. The space also means opportunities for community activities including guest speakers, workshops, weekly story time and play area, puppet theater, early literacy programs, and much more in the works. The new building provides much more accessibility as well, with all areas now handicap accessible and stroller accessible. “We used to have piles of strollers at the entrance in the old building,” Hutchinson added. A separate wing was constructed as a community meeting room, allowing clubs and organizations to have a place to meet any time of day regardless of library operating hours. There is no additional increase in taxes being drawn from the public for the building. Twice a vote to increase taxes has been denied. Tax dollars going to the library are the same as at the old library, providing funding only for staffing, book purchases, and operational costs. Operating costs are reduced thanks to the amount of windows providing natural lighting, while the interior lights are on a photocell sensor, shutting off when not needed to save electricity. The new library acts as the central location facilitating all li-

braries in Lake County. A county wide special library district exists as its own taxing district, complete with a five-member governing board elected by the public. All administrative action, book processing, ordering, and program planning happens in Lakeview, facilitating each satellite branch with a rotation of volumes to display. “Every branch has at least one reader who has gone through everything they could possibly read, so we want to be able to rotate and bring in new titles to have on display,” said Hutchinson. It has taken a tremendous effort from a lot of people over many years, but finally at long last Lake County has the library it deserves. The Library is located at 26 S.

KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner

Oregon Department Fish and Wildlife District Biologist Craig Foster will have a new office building this summer. By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner

A field biologist’s life is a balancing act, half the work spent in the mud and dirt collecting samples, the other half in an office handling administrative duties. For Craig Foster and Dave Banks, wildlife and fish biologists for Lake and Klamath County, they have a vast territory to cover. “I’ve put 54,000 miles on my truck in the last two years,” Foster explained, who has been working with Oregon Fish and Wildlife since 1982. He can usually be found digging through

some field as much as at his current desk in the Marius Building in Lakeview. Yet for as much time as Foster and Banks spend roaming the country side for their various work-related tasks, there still remains a central location they require to field calls, handle paperwork, and dissect samples. Bringing dead animals dripping blood along the hallways of a shared office has created some interesting encounters. “Often I’m bringing in dead cougars or dragging an elk

down the hall, since we’re biologists we’re dealing with a lot of samples of dead critters, and a lot of that happens in our office,” Foster said. “It’s not uncommon for the ladies from the probation and parole office to walk by and see me pulling the guts out of a cougar.” At long last those who have shared office space with the resident biologists will finally get a break from the perils and smells wafting from the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Department, as a new office building will be under construction this summer

dedicated solely for ODFW. To be located at the corner of Roberta and Hwy 140, funding was recently approved after initial discussions for a new office began as far back as 1995. The new office will include a lab with stainless steel tables and linoleum floors allowing easy handling and cleanup of all the often messy samples brought in by the biologists, a conference room for meetings, expanded office

space to around 1,400 square feet, and a reception desk. “I don’t think we’ll have a receptionist though, so I’ll probably be doing that too,” Foster joked. While Foster and Banks don’t show great enthusiasm for the office, they find wading through a creek or being knee deep in mud far more exciting, the practicality of a new dedicated office for them will come in handy. At various times when larger projects have taken place, they have had as many as 11 people in Lakeview working for the department, mostly using the cabs of their trucks as an office with little to no space available in the veritable maze of the Marius Building for them to do their work. With completion of the new facility planned to be finished by July 1, visiting biologists will finally have room to set up a computer and desk as needed, and even for individuals who spend most of their time out in the great outdoors, having a little elbow room isn’t a bad thing. Every day brings a new experience for field and fish biologists in Lake County. Foster fondly recalls a time he searched for a cougar that had been chased into a willow patch, only to have a state police officer

shoot it as it tracked Foster from behind less than six feet away unbeknownst to him. All in a day’s work for a field biologist. “It all depends on the critter, just when you think you know all there is to know about them they prove you wrong. I’ve had three broken ribs, two broken fingers, and my front teeth are all caps,” said Foster in reference to some of his more interesting field encounters. Another part of the job is providing community services, giving presentations for organizations and schools by request explaining details of wildlife or their careers. They encourage those interested to volunteer with the department, and are always happy to talk with students interested in possibly going into a career in wildlife management. While the new office for ODFW is to Foster and Banks just four walls and a desk, nothing to get excited over, the expanded facilities will help them handle their vast responsibilities more proficiently, and those that work in the Marius Building will be spared of the odd encounters that likely ruin their lunch.

Long-time Lake County Ties

By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner

John Robert Roush, shortly before his discharge from the U.S. Army following World War I. John Nathaniel Roush wasn’t the first to settle the area of what is now Lake County, but when he arrived as a scout for the U.S. Cavalry in 1857 he knew this was where he wanted to make his home. Since the 1860’s at least one Roush has called it home, starting with John Nathaniel Roush’s homestead in the Clover Flat area north of Lakeview. The family legacy has been one of hard work in ranching, farming, mining or the military. By the time John Nathaniel’s son William Henry Roush was of age, the Roush family ranch was well established out near the Five Corners area on the westside today. William Henry’s son John Robert Roush was born in 1896. Working on the ranch with his father and grandfather, he married Aleta May Pierson, who had recently relocated from Utah. The Pierson’s had been part of the original group that traveled with Brigham Young out west, but had disagreed with the polygamist culture

of the early Utah settlements. John Robert worked the land with his family, until a call to service beckoned after the United State’s entrance into the first world war. Discharged from the Army in 1918, John Robert returned to Clover Flat where the family raised cattle, sheep and goats. As the community grew following the war, John Robert tried his hand at carpentry. Many of the homes that still stand in Lakeview today were built in part by John Robert. John Robert and Aleta May had two sons, Dan and John Waylon, born in 1920 and 1927 respectively. Growing up in the era of the great depression, life was difficult for many in Lake County. The Roush’s survived the hard times thanks to a pro-active canning effort from John Robert and Aleta May from the family garden. When another war came calling, once again the Roush family answered the call.

Dan spent World War II in India as a mechanic for the seventh bomb group, working on aircraft that flew the hump over the Himalayan Mountains to bring supplies to soldiers fighting the Japanese in southeast Asia. John Waylon joined the Navy, becoming a member of the USS Pennsylvania as a motor machinist. The USS Pennsylvania was sailed to the Bikini Islands with John Waylon aboard, where it was involved in the atomic bomb test of April 26, 1946, but John Waylon Roush had been sent home three days prior, avoiding the historic weapon test. Perhaps that is a good thing, as avoiding the radiation of the test has left Roush as one of the few surviving crew members of the USS Pennsylvania. Upon returning home, life on the farm continued for the Roush family while William Henry continued to also perform LONG-TIME TIES carpentry work, See page 86

Aleta May and John Robert Roush are buried side-by-side in Lakeview’s Sunset Cemetery. also dabbling in prospecting on their lands. John Waylon married Erma Cartwright in 1948, their son Daryl was born a year later. He would follow in his father’s footsteps, also joining the Navy. Life continued on until fortunes appeared to change for the Roush family, and the Lakeview community, in the 1950’s with

the discovery of an oddly colored stone. “One of our cousins came to us with a stone that had weird colors and asked what it was,” John Waylon Roush recalls, who still resides in Lakeview today. “A sheepherder on the Leehman Ranch had found it and given it to him, I put a Geiger Counter on it and it shot to the moon.”

Uranium had been discovered along the property line between the Leehman Ranch and Roush Ranch. In a partnership between the Roush’s and Leehman’s, a mine was dug, stretching nearly 300 feet down, until the U.S. government ordered the mine be shut down and acquired the area, constructing a $3.2 million plant in 1955 to process the remaining uranium. Following the disappointment of the mine being shut down, John Waylon Roush quit farming and moved to Medford, working in heavy construction, where he remained as a foreman until retirement. John Robert Roush died in 1975, after which John Waylon Roush decided to sell the remaining 160 acres of land on the Westside and give the profits to his mother, Aleta May. It had been a long life of farming for Aleta around Lakeview, and her son John wanted her to enjoy her remaining years. She traveled the world on the funds earned through selling the Roush land, exploring the east coast, traveling to Europe and Hong Kong. John Waylon is back home in Lakeview, while his son Daryl resides in Medford, just one of the many southern Oregon families that chose to settle in Lake County and call it home for generations.

ILC, Partnerships Provide Unlimited Potential By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner One word surrounds the development of the Western Regional Innovation and Learning Center (ILC): potential. From the local school districts, the Lake County Resources Initiative (LCRI), Klamath Community College (KCC), multiple universities and community members, the possibilities of what the ILC could become seem limitless, transforming Lakeview into a model for what a 21st century rural community can be. In a transforming global economy, how can rural communities not only survive, but thrive? Lake County may just provide the answer. Optimism reigns supreme with the potential for the ILC to be the driving force behind both renewable energy sustainability development and educational prosperity. Officially in operation since September 2013, the Innovation Learning Center is currently providing eleven preparatory courses in English, mathematics, psychology, physiology, and sociology for prospective college students working towards an associates degree. Utilizing the vacated Daly Middle School building in Lakeview, the work to retrofit the century old structure as a modern functional higher education institute is still ongoing, but the potential of what it could become has the future looking bright for

both the school and community. Lake County students have had tremendous advantages and disadvantages, both through the unique scholarship opportunities only available here, and in their geographic isolation which can cause difficulty in adapting to metropolitan college life socially and academically. Lacking a community college in Lake County, students pursuing education beyond high school have had the opportunities to afford it, but only if they are willing to travel great distances, leaving the community behind. The result has been a brain drain, Lake County failing to retain many of its brightest minds vital to future community sustainability as graduates seek employment opportunities elsewhere. Now with the ILC in early stages of operation, students can receive college level course work and dual-credit opportunities for secondary students, with lectures being provided by teachers in-house or via realtime video conferencing direct from KCC in a synchronous classroom. The idea was first sparked in 2012, in a passing conversation between LCRI Exec. Dir. Jim Walls and School District #7 Supt. Sean Gallagher. Walls was trying to develop

an institute to provide renewable energy training locally in Lake County, while Gallagher happened to have a completely vacant school building just begging to be repurposed. Soon Klamath Community College eagerly came aboard to provide the anchor educational base and initial investments for the technology implemented in ILCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classrooms, and barely two years later a program has emerged that at its current rate of growth could be providing four-year degree programs soon and unique continued education opportunities highly sought but rarely available across the country, resulting in many more students coming to study at the ILC. The partnership between LCRI, ILC, KCC and the school district have created a perfect storm of positivity, combining the economic potential of Lake County as a renewable energy boomtown matched with the possibility of an economic model structured around education.

Dreams Near Reality

KRISTIN KEISER/ Lake County Examiner

Currently a vacant field on LHS property will become a multi-purpose field if funding goals can be reached.

By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner It is the world’s most popular sport, perhaps except in North America. The World Cup is a global phenomenon, garnering a larger audience than the Olympics or Super Bowl, and in every corner of the globe kids grow up playing it. The game of soccer is a global obsession, but in this country its popularity is still growing. Only a few decades ago, soccer was little more than a mild curiosity for American youth, taking a distant backseat to football, baseball and basketball. Today, thanks to AYSO and burgeoning school soccer programs, there are well over 200 kids in Lake County alone participating in the sport of soccer. This also creates a dilemma for the local school districts, as the ever-growing interest in the sport necessitates a closer look at developing proper soccer

facilities to match the demand. At Lakeview High School, the baseball diamond’s outfield has been utilized as a makeshift soccer pitch, providing the necessary space requirements for a field, as long as players don’t mind having a portion of the field be on dirt rather than properly maintained grass. The outcry for a proper multi-purpose field hasn’t fallen on deaf ears, with plans for development of a soccer field to be placed alongside the other current Lakeview High School athletic facilities already drawn up. The only prevention now from Lake County youth fully embracing the sport is where to find the funds to cover the roughly $50,000 it will cost to construct the proposed field. The Lakeview Rotary Club has stepped up to fuel philanthropic efforts, recently holding

a fundraising banquet on March 8 featuring iconic cowboy poet and entertainer Baxter Black. The ticket revenue and auctions held at that event raised approximately $15,000 towards the soccer field project, with another major fundraiser planned later in 2014 to hopefully also provide additional funding for the facility. “As a school district, we want to maintain and create a plethora of programs that connect students to their school,” said Sean Gallagher, School District #7 superintendent, which covers the greater Lakeview area. “Research clearly shows that when a student feels connected to their school they are more likely to stay in school, so providing a wide variety of programs that students can plug into is vital, and we kept hearing five or six years ago that there

was interest in the community for a soccer program.” Despite early fears from some that establishing a new soccer program could cause a talent drain from other established sports, after extensive research the school district decided that it was in the best interest of students and the community to go forward with developing a soccer program. The result has proven the initial hesitations, as rather than removing talent from established programs, adding soccer has tapped into a whole new group of kids that hadn’t previously been actively involved in school programs. Starting humbly with a coed team at LHS,

there are now separate boys and girls high school soccer teams, as well as a flourishing AYSO community soccer program. The desire is clearly there to support and nourish the blossoming sport in Lake County, but where exactly the full funding will come from to match the demand is yet to be determined. Anderson Engineering, whose company president Darryl Anderson serves both as Rotary Club president and as a member of the school board, has been at the forefront of the project. Anderson was the driving force behind the March 8, Rotary Club fundraiser, organizing corporate sponsors and much of the event, with the hopes that construction can begin on a new soccer field this year. The $50,000 estimate is a loose figure, dependent not just on community sup-

port in fundraising but also extensive volunteer work and donations. With a considerable amount of funds still needed to reach the goal, how the gap will be closed remains in question. As of March, there were presently no confirmed plans for the school district to fund the remainder required for construction to begin. “We’re going to support the Rotary Club and provide any sort of in-kind help with fundraisers, and wait and see what can be raised before we re-evaluate where we stand,” said Gallagher in regards to whether or not the school district will provide funds towards the construction. “The school district is a central feature of our community. With the potential to garner volunteer labor, donations, in-kind help, and providing a full maintenance staff to de-

vote towards installation and upkeep, I think there is more potential to help there rather than just the dollars and cents simply because of where we’re at with the budget process and revenue stream from the state,” Gallagher added. Whether or not funding efforts can be fully realized, the sport of soccer is not going away from the interests of Lake County youth any time soon. Thanks to the tremendous ongoing generosity of the community, organizations, entrepreneurial individuals and cooperation with the school district, it may only be a matter of when not if AYSO and school district soccer programs finally have a proper field to call home. For information regarding the soccer field contact Anderson at 541947-4407.
