Oneof-a-Kind Pieces By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
Located in the spacious Woodgrain Millwork building in west Lakeview, carpenters work endlessly, turning out unique crafts that can complement any dining room or restaurant with its countrified aesthetic. These craftsmen work for Bob White’s business, Lakeview Reclaimed Lumber, which made its move last year from the epicenter of Portland to the Oregon Outback. White said that Lakeview wasn’t even on his radar before making the move. What did catch his eye and ultimately was the deciding factor to move his business to Lakeview was the amount of crane mats that were readily available for his reclaimed lumber business. He explained that these 18 by 14 foot wide pieces of wood were used when the Kinder Morgan pipeline was construction, creating a sturdy enough surface to drive the most heavy equipment on. These countless pieces that keeps the business afloat were transported to Lakeview from the east especially for the project. “I wouldn’t have even

Bob White, owner of Lakeview Reclaimed Lumber, delivered tables for Warner Canyon Ski Area’s lodge. heard of Lakeview,” said White about making the move, adding that it wouldn’t have been fiscally logical to move the wood to Portland. In Oregon largest city, White did the same kind of work. With his independent venture, he would recycle downed trees that were taken out of property for whatever reason. From this material, he would make slabs from them to sell and as well as what he would call “whimsical houses.” White recalled the first time when he saw one of these miniature houses, which spurned him to make similar. When passing by a nursery, he saw one with a crooked roof and out of curiosity he decided to find out how much they were selling for, which had a price of $8,000. He couldn’t believe that these would fetch such an extraordinary amount of money, saying, “I could build that in a couple days.” In the same week, White passed the place where they were selling the house, not thinking it was going to sell. To his surprise, it was
gone. The store attendants told him that it sold the day after he made his way through. Though it didn’t sell at the tag price, it still went out of the door at a high price. Coming to the realization that he could make a living from this new trend, White went to work to create tree forts, tree houses and playhouses. From there, he did his own version, complete with inside decorating, warped windows and door frames, adding to the whimsy of the small structures. At his location on Hwy 26, he put these out for the public to see as they drove by. “We had 15 to 20 people stop per day, taking pictures because they didn’t see anything like that before,” said White. Working with timber has been the story of his life, said White, adding that he’s been into carpentry all his life, honing his skills in making anything out of wood, framing and building spec houses in his youth. When Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana, he headed down south to rebuild houses for the recovery effort,
buying 18 houses to restore. In Portland, he worked for about 12 years. He made the move to Lakeview in early 2017 for the opportunity to use the crane mats. “It would be too expensive to ship 5 million feet of crane mats to Portland,” said White. Located in the former 90,000 square feet of floor space that the Woodgrain Mill affords, which White is confident that he will be able to fill it up with all things lumber. He and his seven-man crew creates all types of furniture, mostly tables, as well as paneling using blue pine, juniper and crane mates for interior work. “There are a lot of people and their eyes are different,” said White. “That’s why we build all different types of

RECLAIMED LUMBER From page 4 styles.” He has also obtained wood from the California coast’s driftwood that will be used to make table legs as well as walnut trees that will be used for their projects. Their work can bee seen at local eateries like TJ’s Family Fun Center, Warner Canyon Ski Area lodge and Green Mountain Bakery. His employees don’t all come with carpentry experience and having to learn on their feet to run equipment and shape each inch of wood that would go into one of their creations. Without any marketing, they were still able to earn enough money to keep it going. In the near future, White looks to put his pieces online and attend a few tradeshows to get his name out in the open. For now, his focus is on furniture that can be a center point for any rustic home. He has put whimsical houses on hold until they complete and ship out 300 tables to be in-house and in stock. At 70 years old, White is confident he won’t ever run out of crane mats. “I calculated that it would take four guys, five years every day just to cut them up,” said White laughing about the stock he has on hand.

Lake County Airport Going Strong Despite not having hardly any commercial aircraft flying in or out of the airport, owner Tom Andrews is making constant improvements to the airport and the runways, as they house many different private planes that are owned by various pilots around Lake County. Tom Andrews and his family have operated the airport for almost five years and have made a lot of changes and improvements throughout their tenure. “This summer we will be working the parking lots on the east end of the airport and everything behind it will be brand new pavement this summer,” Andrews said. “Where our t hangar is, we have money left over from a grant we received to get new pavement behind and in front of the hangar.” Andrews expects to get started on the project in April or May, with the goal of completing the project by the end of the

summer. There will also be a new security fence put in by the hangar to set boundaries so people aren’t in the way of incoming aircraft. “We received a grant from the Connect Six Oregon lottery dollars and that grant pays for everything that the county would have had to pay out of pocket,” Andrews said. “As of now, there is zero dollars coming from the County to fund the project, so that’s really nice.” Since leasing the airport, Andrews has put together five and 10 year plans, as to try and stay ahead of the curve. In those plans, details things like the new pavement that they would like to have accomplished. “This really makes the grant process easier, because the process is so detailed,” Andrews said. “Our five and 10 year plans are always getting updated, so it makes it a little easier to apply and hopefully receive grants.”

The hydraulic doors in the hangar at the airport are brand new; they just recently replaced them, because those had been around since 1943. The backroom behind the pilots lounge, used to house an office, but Andrews has turned it into a sleep area, compete with a futon, so if the pilot flies in late, they have a place to rest. As for the next five years, Andrews has plans to build a couple more commercial hangars on the north end of the airport. “These next few years will be good for economical development,” Andrews said. “Next year will be kind of quiet while we prep everything and 2020 is the year for action.” There is also a 320-acre solar farm GOING STRONG west of the airport, past a pile See page 10 of sagebrush

GOING STRONG From page 8 where the former dump is located, that will help generate money for the airport. In addition to the exterior work that is happening, both Tom and Josh have been busy repairing helicopters. The airport works closely with the County, so the County knows everything that’s happening out at the airport. Before any grants or anything are sent off, they must be approved by the County Commissioners. “We like to keep them informed, so there is no surprise or questions down the road,” Andrews said. Last summer the pair repaired an old military UH-60 Blackhawk Alpha that has been used for utility work and firefighting. The duo removed about 200-300 lbs of wire, the foyer chafe system, armor mounts, redid the maintenance and flight manuals. They made everything digital including adding digital gauges to replace the old steam gauges. Andrews said they are working on getting more Blackhawks in, but the problem is they are running out of them at auctions. “We can’t find any Blackhawks that are complete,” Andrews said. “There were 700 of them that were available for auction and the Department of Homeland Security and Borderland are snatching the flyable ones up, because they have first dibs on them and are using them for whatever they need. “We are currently working on getting a Huey and we are hoping to have one hopefully in April or May once this Bell Helicopter is complete,” Andrews said. “Right now we are working on a Bell 204 helicopter, that was used in Vietnam as a special ops plane.” Once the plane is reconstructed and the technology is updated, the plan is to give it to the Forest Service. “All the technology that is on the aircraft now, is the technol-

Bolstering the Workforce with Education By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
SUBMITTED PHOTO
Classrooms filled with students who are looking to obtain skills for successful careers.
Klamath Community College’s (KCC) Lake County campus, located inside the Innovation and Learning Center (ILC) has been instrumental in helping strengthen the workforce in Lake County through a variety of programs, some of which are just beginning. According to Cheryl Eniero, Lake County Program coordinator, the Lake County campus has been making strides over the past year in implementing programs aimed to ensure that students are equipped with skills to hop into their chosen profession. “We’re always looking for what employers need in the community and how we can fill those gaps,” Eniero said. Most recently, technical certifications have been a focus, including those in phlebotomy, dental assisting, medical assisting, Ophthalmology assisting and EMT training courses. These are technical certifications, meaning that they aren’t part of a traditional Associates degress that community colleges are known for in the United States. There are currently 61 students, including 11 high school students, receiving 620 credit hours. The most popular, and most competitive, program that the site has is its Registered Nursing track. Thanks to the partnership with Lake District Hospital, there were four RN’s who graduated spring 2017. With enough coordination with the hospital and KCC campus, the program has adjusted to accommodate the Lakeview-based students as much as possible. Part of that is to run more labs, which cuts down the travel time to and from the Klamath Falls main campus. KCC’s Lakeview synchronous classes have the ability to run a Microbiology lab, an integral pre-requisite for the RN program, through video conferencing capabilities. For many students, this was a major benefit with their work and family obligations. “Students who are eligible to apply for the program have to be top students,” said Eniero about the ever-increasing and demand-
ing RN program. She added that there are four students who are about to graduate and there is a pair of students in their first year with five more who are ready to apply for the next cohort in the spring. Lake Health District and KCC formed a partnership in 2014, which lapsed last year, 2017. It was renewed for another three years, giving an opportunity for those looking to benefit their community and families by working as an RN. Eniero explained that they are looking toward the future to bring in other paths to new and prosperous careers. Among these would include welding certifications, which she said would be about a year out. They are also looking at opportunities for apprenticeships for plumbing and electricians, as well as construction program. She noted that these are also about a year or so out to bring into reality. Located near the Lakeview High and Daly Middle school campus, the ILC houses the Step Up alternative high school. The program is for those students who do better in a more accommodating atmosphere for their learning. KCC also offers dual credit and enrollment with Lakeview High School students to get college courses under their belts before graduation. Though a focus has been on building the workforce through education, as a community college it is to graduate students with degrees. This coming spring 2018, will be the largest class to receive diplomas of various sorts, adding up to 18 in all. Most, if not all students, take classes through both on-campus or online. On-campus courses include anything from Accounting, Agriculture Science, Business, Diesel Technology, WORKFORCE Culinary Arts to Emergency Response and Operations. Online classes offer See page 14 similar classes, including Business

WORKFORCE From page 12 Management courses and General Studies. Though based in Lakeview, KCC’s Lake County campus has seen more students enroll from neighboring Modoc County, who take advantage of the online programs and synchronous classes offered on site. This helps these Californian students as they can enroll at the in-state rate as an exemption. “It helps the community because it puts these graduates into jobs, gives them higher wage earning capacity which puts them in socioeconomic status that increases community revenue. It’s a whole domino effect of ultimately benefitting the community,” she said. In the same lines with career advancement, KCC also took over the WorkSource program. Located in the bottom floor of the Lake County Courthouse, KCC’s Amanda Orlando has been instrumental in filling the void left by Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council, which manned the program for years. With so many enhancements in KCC’s curriculum, there is bound to even be more to where it’s housed. The ILC building is looking to build a convention center on its third floor. Once construction is complete, KCC staff is hoping to get a few more synchronous classrooms located, which would

Eniero explained that they are looking to build a movable stage to move in and out that would be used for conferences and other community events. Though construction is underway, it looks to be able to house up to 250 people. KCC takes up the main floor of the ILC, using most of the room and its operations
for the valuable resources that it provides. In 2014, two synchronous classrooms were built, becoming a small and close campus for Lakeview residents who look to better their lives. “Higher education in Lakeview proves to be a valuable asset,” said Eniero. For more information, contact Eniero at 541-407-1757 or at eniero@klamathcc.edu.

Striking Up Family Fun Reinvigorating one of Lakeview’s crowned recreational jewels was no easy task for owner of TJ’s Family Fun Center Chuck Kelley, but the plunge to bring the once was aged facility to the modern era was wellworth it to him. Kelley didn’t have a lot of connection to the bowling alley and restaurant combination previously, having only eaten at the establishment, formerly known as Papa Dan’s. He only had the inclination to tackle the project due to a friendly suggestion. “I’ve always wanted a project that helped the community,” said Kelley, noting other undertakings he would like to see going such as the Heryford Building and Alger Theatre. The building itself was intriguing to him because it was a “clear span,” meaning that it doesn’t have any posts in the middle of the buildings to hold up the roof but only east to west glulam beams. “It was a good building,” said Kelley. “It’s a challenge and we’re still working on aspects of the building’s

integrity.” To get the building up to ship shape from purchasing it in June 2017 to its opening in October the same year, Kelley hired hands that have significant skills. Of these includes Barb Stephens interior decorating know-how, Junior Gabriel’s finish work, Tom Zarosinski’s welding skills, Lakeview Reclaimed Lumber’s furniture, among many others. The high-ticket items were the automatic scoring system, which makes keeping track of scoring an effortless task, as well as the roofing that needed dramatic improvements. Flooring also needed to be rebuilt including an ADA compliant bathroom. The kitchen transitioned from electric to gas, necessitating new equipment. Head cook Doug Adams took the lead over the kitchen staff and all operations food related, though Sharon Liddycoat helped out gathering ideas for what to offer that didn’t overlap with other food establishments in the area. Kelley said that the biggest seller is the brisket

Though he resisted for as long as he could, the restaurant added pizza to its menu at the request of many. This requires a special pizza oven that will go into an already crowded kitchen. The addition of pizza in its first full year of operations will be complete the trifecta of pizza, birthday parties and bowling. Kelley said that the venue has held as many as four parties at one time, giving each group enough space for a comfortable experience. Over the summer months when kids are out of school, the bowling alley looks to promote youth bowling in the summer through a program called “Kids Bowl Free.” Kids will be able to sign up online with a coupon sent through mail, though shoe rental is a required. Kelley said that it’s recommended in order to help build up traffic, bringing in those who wouldn’t otherwise
come in to enjoy its attractions and food offerings. For the adults, there is no shortage of special events. The winter leagues, which always looks for more teams to compete on their designated nights make the nights of competition routine. There are also special bowling nights, such as Monte Carlo and Nine-Pin No Tap bowling nights. During Monte Carlo nights, bowlers put up money into a pot and are rewarded for different knockdowns while Nine-Pin No Tap counts strikes if just nine pins are toppled, giving a handicap for less experienced bowlers. Kelley doesn’t count himself as a bowler, though the business’ namesake, his passed wife Treva Joyce, found joy in the sport. “She loved to bowl in tournaments and had a lot of fun,”

Get involved with the Lake County Watershed Councils today! If you’re like a lot of landowners, you’d like to do something to improve water quality, fish habitat, juniper encroachment, but you don’t have the time or money. Watershed Councils can help you get something done on your own land, under your own control. Watershed Councils help local landowners in everything from cutting juniper, to riparian fencing, stream bank stabilization, planting trees along streams and building in-stream structures to improve fish habitat, along with replacing culverts that block fish passage. In 2017 Lake County WSC brought $1,019,501 to the community to complete restoration projects county wide. Ten local contractors assisted in the completion of these project activities on fifteen private properties. The Council has already ear marked over one million dollars in upcoming projects for 2018 as well. Planning efforts are underway for 12-15 restoration projects for the 2018 field season.

FAMILY FUN From page 16 said Kelley. “We thought it was a good and catchy name,” he added about the decision of naming it after his past wife. With such an investment into the community, Kelley has had a long history in Lakeview, starting when he was just 15 years old. He started working on the Clark and Johnson ranches and returned every summer. When Kelley got out of the military where he served as a Marine and a pilot, he made Lakeview his home. He took over the ranches later in his life. He started Logik Solutions, a company that focused on hospital billing and accounting for hospitals, acute care centers and alcohol and drug abuse rehabilitation centers. Today, the technology that he founded through his own programming first for the Lake Health District hospital in the 1990’s is used in healthcare centers all over the United States. In 2003,

Throughout his commercial efforts in Lake County, Kelley also had a rental airplane service for chartering in and out of Lake
County Airport, named “Rent a Plane.” Kelley would also be hired for fire patrol throughout the summer through the Forest Service. He also started a flight school, training a good number of potential pilots. Kelley currently serves on the Lake District Health Board for three four year terms, several years as chairperson, and will step down when his term expires in 2019. “I worked with for a number of years on their software side, so I got to know their needs,” said Kelley. “When I got out of the ranching I decided it was time to put some time in to public service.” With a lifetime full of service, Kelley now helps wherever he can for TJ’s bowling alley and restaurant, allowing his employees to manage themselves, though pitching in to fill in the blanks when they arise. TJ’s Family Fun Center is located at 1217 N. 4th St. in Lakeview and can be contacted at 541-947-4200.

Small Store, Big Strides By Michael Acosta Lake County Examiner MICHAEL ACOSTA/ Lake County Examiner
Roger Buhrle takes a few customers order down at the Adel Store. Roger and Jessie Buhrle never thought that they would be owners of a restaurant. “We came to Lake County to just work on the ranch and had no intention of ever doing this,” Roger Buhrle said. “We got into branding season and (Adel Store) had closed down for the most part and a lot of the local people said that we should look into buying the restaurant.” The Buhrles began talking about buying the property at the end of December 2016, but the timing wasn’t right, so waited. Things started to fall into place in the beginning of May. They began making plans of purchasing the Adel Store. It took six weeks to get their liquor license and five weeks to get the restaurant license. They wanted to be open while the place was getting fixed up. “Everything has worked out how it’s supposed to,” Jessie said. “We really fell in love with this area and really love the people here.” Jessie added that she had always wanted to own a flower shop and that is the closest thing she thought she would come to owning a store. “My whole goal in life is to make people smile and flowers do that,” she said. “So when we bought this place, I told Roger and my kids that no matter what is happening
or what our day is like, when people leave our store, I want them to feel like when they were here that they mattered.” Roger said when they purchased the building, they wanted to protect the history and integrity of the building, with only minimal updates. The Buhrle’s added brands to the bar, repainted, cleaned all the saddles, redid the kitchen and the flooring when they bought the building. Now seven months in, the Buhrles have reported that business is good, with the winter months being slow as expected. “We find reasons to bring people in, such as the pool tournaments on Saturday nights, people come in, eat pizza and play some pool,” Roger Buhrle said. “We’ve had good crowds and have had a lot of fun.” Both Roger and Jessie reported that they feel more comfortable with owning and running the business and enjoy talking and making personable relationships with everyone they meet. “I actually had one customer come through and when I was five, I happened to be the flower girl at his wedding,” Jessie said. “He was passing through, saw my name and had to stop in and say hello. It’s the little things like that exceed our expectations and assure that we made the right
decision.” Their biggest change since the renovation has been adding to the grocery and mercantile section, now carrying mugs, a few hats and other miscellaneous from some of the locals. They hope to add t-shirts, magnets and bracelets in the near future. Since their grand opening ribbon cutting ceremony occurred on the first day of Antelope season a year ago, the Adel Store hopes to do an antelope fest every year around Aug. 12, where they rope off the streets and have a “block party” The Adel Store has also made plans to “redo” the outside of the store, adding lights and plants to beautify. Roger and Jessie are looking forward to this summer, because they have a little better idea of what to expect. “In the summer time, being able to get outside our tiny kitchen so we can use the BBQ shack and do some BBQ’s and other things to get people together will be a lot of fun,” Jessie said. “We also want to make sure that our quality of food remains the same, so being able to cook burgers outside will also BIG STRIDES help us being See page 22 able to serve

BIG STRIDES From page 20 people faster” added Roger. “We’d also like to eventually put some outdoor seating outside during the summer.” With 2018, well underway, the Adel Store is hoping to continue making relationships around the county, as well as help out with various events. “We’d like to be involved with the Tour de Outback, we had a lot of fun sponsoring different rodeo teams last year,” Jessie said. “We really enjoyed the Mile High Striders Freedom Relay and we’d also like to help out the 4H kids with their animals.” Like every business, there have been days where both Roger and Jessie got overwhelmed and wondered if they made the right decision in owning their own business. “It’s very similar to life, where you wonder if you’re making the right decision or how you’re going to resolve an issue and you just know you have to figure it out,” Roger said. “Luckily Jessie has a lot of brains and has a lot of desire to figure things out. Together we know we can solve the problem together.” “The last thing we want is for it to affect our customers,” Jessie added. “When they leave here, we want them to leave having had a good experience and we want them to continue coming back.” The Adel Store is open Monday - Thursday from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday from 7 a.m. — 9 p.m. and on Sunday from 7 a.m. – 4 p.m. The Adel store is located at 18586 Hwy 140 E in Adel.

Striving to Make a Difference By Michael Acosta Lake County Examiner
Before taking the job at the Lake County Chamber of Commerce, Jessica Bogardus had been working in various doctor’s offices in Lakeview and Roseburg. She moved to Lakeview in 2013, with her husband Dr. Brian Bogardus, who grew up in Lakeview. She took a job working for Dr. Scott Graham at Warner Mountain Medical. After working in the medical field for several years, Bogardus decided that she wanted to make a change and become more involved in the community. “Since I don’t have kids, I just wanted to be more active and involved in the community,” Bogardus said. “I had worked in an office my entire life and just wanted to do something different.” Bogardus heard that the Chamber of Commerce was hiring and admitted she didn’t know what the job was and what it entitled, but after talking to her mother-in-law Joni, who told her she would be really good and a perfect fit for the job, she applied and got the job. When she first started in February 2017, she hit the ground running after training because Irish Days was right around the corner. She credits Asst. Chamber Dir. Briana McClain for re-
MICHAEL ACOSTA/ Lake County Examiner
Lake County Chamber of Commerce Dir. Jessica Bogardus and Asst. Dir. Briana McClain have made a difference in Lake County since taking over the Chamber of Commerce. ally helping her through Irish Days that year. At the time McClain had only been an assistant since November 2016. “It was a huge learning experience,” Bogardus said. “It’s something you can’t really plan for unless you do it. Now I’m thankful that Briana and I were kind of thrown into it, because we knew what we wanted to do and change for the next year.” Soon after she started, there was a National Chamber Award Contest, which allowed the two ladies to get out in the public, interact and take pictures with the different businesses around town. Even though they didn’t win the award contest, it allowed the business owners to get to know the ladies of the Chamber. Bogardus admitted to not knowing that Lake County had a Chamber of Commerce until she applied for the job. She noticed right away that there wasn’t a lot of community involvement, businesses supporting each other and not a lot of ribbon cutting and other things happening. She set out to change that. She and
McClain went around to businesses each and every day and both tried to attend as many events as they could. Bogardus recalled the weird feeling she got, whenever she would leave the Chamber in the middle of the day to talk with different businesses, to make sure the Chamber was meeting all of their needs. “All of my life I had been doing an office job, so you couldn’t just leave when you wanted,” Bogardus said with a laugh. “They kind of frowned upon that. For awhile, when I would leave the Chamber during the day, I felt like I was doing something wrong.” When she first took the job, there were several challenges that Bogardus faced. One was the turnover that had occurred in the office and that she was brand new, along with McClain. They both worked very hard to let the public know what the Chamber was about and what kinds of things that the pair wanted to accomplish. “From the beginning, I really wanted our Board members to be in-
volved and they have been,” Bogardus said. “I talk to at least one board member every day and they are instrumental in our success.” Bogardus looks at her job as the backbone of the community, saying that the Chamber needs to be involved in as many things as they can, support one another and really be there for the community. From the beginning, she had to work hard at repairing relationships that were practically non-existent, as well as identify relationships that will help the county in the long run. “The relationship I’m most proud of is the one with the Forest Service,” Bogardus said. “With them coming to work in our welcome center again this summer, it’s big and now with Barry Emler and Justin Phillips on our board, as well as working closely with Tamara Schmidt,

MAKING A DIFFERENCE From page 26 it’s really helped our relationship grow.” Bogardus considers her biggest accomplishments to be the relationships she’s built, such as the one with the Lake County Round Up, Warner Canyon Ski Area, along with the Chamber’s brand new tourism site www.allaboutlakecounty.com. “The fact that people come in to us and want to join the Chamber, telling us we’re doing a great job is a huge accomplishment,” Bogardus said. The Lake County Chamber of Commerce, is consistently putting together new ideas to help promote tourism, as well as keep the county informed, such as the idea for Chamber Chatter. “Chamber Chatter has really been a big hit, people really enjoy it as a way to stay informed with what’s happening around the county,” Bogardus said. Bogardus is really proud of her relationship with McClain and says she couldn’t do her job without her. “I’m very proud of Briana,” Bogardus said. “I’ve watched her grow and watched us grow together. Her skills that she brings to the Chamber are unmatched. She is very good at a lot of things, that we need in order to be successful. I look forward to seeing her blossom with tourism and without her, I

“I feel like we have a lot of things to offer here and things that are on trend,” Bogardus said. “I feel like we’re in the right spot right now with hiking, skiing and
biking, Round Up and more. We can really seize this opportunity and this is a really great time for Lake County to start promoting itself.”

Rose Parade Connections For Darryl and Beverly Bender, the couple of weeks before the New Year are a rush. Not only do they travel to Southern California to spend Christmas with their family, the Lakeview couple embarks on a task of helping build one of the several floats that make its way down the Pasadena, Calif. streets for the New Year’s Day Tournament of Roses Parade. Contracted with Fiesta Parade Floats, the Bender’s have been working with the float company for over 32 years, becoming an old hat project year after year. Darryl is one of many trusted supervisors on the decoration crew, taking on one float with a couple of dozen willing and able volunteers and employees under his command. These workers come from all over the country, mostly volunteers who have decorating an eccentric float for the renowned parade. As the most senior supervisor, he takes on these novice volunteers to dedicate themselves to the work. Even the Girl Scouts of America are contracted to

make money for their troop, performing the same decorating chores. This go around, there were three, who Darryl called the “Three Georgia Peaches,” who pitched in, coming all the way from the Southern United States as Georgia was represented at the Rose Bowl. Darryl’s responsibility is to ensure that each decorator is on task, hurrying them along, giving them suggestions along the way as well as making sure quality is the number one priority. The five-day process begins the day after Christmas, to assemble and decorate the colorful parade. Fiesta’s floats are unique in that they incorporate natural pieces for its color and aesthetics. Meticulous work takes a large group of volunteers to place thousands of pieces of foods, such as split peas, seeds, cranberries, rice, walnut shell and other non-perishable foods that are carefully glued onto the models. “The material is to make it look natural. It simulates what the contract calls for the client,” said Bender. The

float is built between Christmas and New Year’s Eve morning for final judging. For the 2018 float, the Benders were assigned to the Dole float titled “Sharing Nature’s Bounty,” featuring African animals such as lions, elephants and giraffes, sea beasts like fish and octopi as well as jungle creatures like sloths and parrots. “This year was a trying year more than I’ve felt in quite a few years,” said Bender. “The whole crew was pounding to get this thing out.” This was due to some technical difficulties with its undercarriage, which put it back some time. Thankfully, it was all done on time as to not break their streak of getting them complete at deadline. When the last bit of color is placed, their work is judged on the morning of New Year’s Eve. They are then prepared to convoy up to the line the morning of New Year’s Day. Each float is 55 feet by 18 feet, going up as high as much as they would like, as long as they can be collapsible to get under any bridges or lines
as they transition to the parade line. Darryl doesn’t walk with the parade, but makes his way to sit on the media stand to snap pictures when the floats come down the street. During the work, Beverly acts as an assistant, filling in where she is needed and runs errands to help the workers function. This year the Bender Float won the “Most Outstanding Creative Concept and Float Design” award. Bender and his crews have earned several awards for his work over the few decades of the once per year work. “I pride myself in the quality of work this group does,” he said, recalling instances where there have been necessary re-do’s of some aspects of the floats he worked on. “To me, it’s rewarding,”

CONNECTIONS From page 30 said Bender about the couple of weeks away to Southern California. They rent a motor home to stay on site, giving them a chance to interact with their family who does the same. As the couple returns every year to their old stomping grounds of Pasadena, Calif., it’s a whole family affair, reaching back to the Bender’s children and grandchildren. “Our children were involved before they could even get on the float,” he said, recalling when they would help with cleaning up around the construction zone. Each year, Bender is involved in one float, but previously had taken on a pair, a massive undertaking for any experienced supervisor. The Benders started as decorators in the 1970’s but went to supervisor soon afterward. The family got roped into through a camping group, who invited them to the nearly week-long excursion as decorators. His boss is the floral decorator, who assigns which materials go where on each float. They have a meeting for a layout to accomplish He remembered that he and his boss Jim Hynd would stay up late as many 3 a.m. to find spots to place flowers. Before he worked on the exotic floats, Bender was a photographer and currently works in design. This experience helps

It also helps that he works in graphic design at the Lakeviewbased Bender’s Promotional Supplies. “It helps me make a decision of what I can correct or make better,” said Bender. “The
way I look at it is that these are art objects that stay alive for about three days and then
they’re gone. I want the public, the client, the company proud of this product. That’s my goal.”

VIPS Provide Fun in Paisley By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
SUBMITTED PHOTO
The annual costume contest is a major draw for families every Halloween.
SUBMITTED PHOTO
When Cinco de Mayo arrives, kids from Paisley flock to the community center for an evening’s worth of tacos and heritage fun. In the small community of Paisley, with a population of just over 200, there isn’t too much to fill in a weekend night or holiday. Luckily for the residents and their children, the Volunteers in Paisley, VIPs, a non-profit group, puts together activities that supplement a bit of excitement to the home of the Broncos. If a holiday is approaching, it would be safe to bet that the Volunteers are planning something to commemorate the event. Cinco de Mayo is sure to have a Mexicanthemed dinner while Halloween plays host to the Volunteer’s annual costume party for kids, complete with a costume contest and cake walk. The most action that the Volunteers see throughout the year is around the Christmas holidays. They put on a holiday bazaar, providing local shopping options, as
well as provide support to the Paisley Winter Carnival, which takes place preemptive to Christmas. Even when there isn’t a seasonal window to put on an event, the Volunteers sometimes throw a spaghetti feed to raise funds for their efforts. These are often held to support a special need that arises, whether it is a family down on their luck or another project that could use a financial lift. Along with the food theme, they sell calendars and cookbooks, the most recent being “Another Taste of Paisley.” The book was published in 2017 and is a continuation of three preceding cookbooks that were done under the former Lioness Club. One of the longest fundraising projects, which started in 1957, is the Community Birthday Calendar. This year, 2018, makes the 61st edition of the calendar, which is currently on sale. According to member Patty Westgate, the project was started in 1957 by the “Sunshine Club,” a Methodist Church women’s group. “When the Paisley Lioness group was chartered, they took over the calendar project and it was passed on to the Volunteers in Paisley,” she said. All these events and efforts aren’t only to provide a fun night for parents and children, though it certainly does. With the money that the Volunteers bring in goes straight to the Paisley School breakfast and lunch program. Each year, the Volunteers recognize one member of the public who showed a special effort to the community. The honor began in 1998 by the Paisley Lionesses, rewarding $100 to the recipient who chooses an effort for the funds to support. “While we give this award each year we recognize that their are dozens who do just as much in the community and have not received the recognition,” said Volunteers in Paisley member Patty Westgate.
The Volunteers in Paisley have been operating for over a decade now after the Paisley Lioness Club disbanded. Most of the annual events are continuations of what the Lions and Lioness clubs brought to the community in the past. The Paisley Lions Club that was chartered in 1977 was active for at least 25 year. They sponsored the Charter of the Lioness Club in 1984. Several charter members of the Lioness Club are still active in the VIP organization. Throughout the 10 or so years that the Volunteers in Paisley have been operational since forming from the disbanded Lioness Club, the organization has done exceptionally in their work around the Paisley community. Some of these efforts are offering annual scholarships, organizing events for community members in need and supporting the well-used Paisley Community Center in purchasing tables, chairs, projector and sound system. For years on end, the main fundraising activity was putting together the barbecue for the Mosquito Festival, which takes place at the last weekend of July. The Lioness’ and subsequently the VIP organized and sponsored the Mosquito Festival barbecue for the past 25 of the 33 years, including the one held for the 2017 Paisley School Centennial Event. Other events planned include a Spring Cleaning Sale for the last weekend of April and the annual Fiesta dinner to be held around Cinco de Mayo. They also help coordinate the occasional blood drives from the American Red Cross when they visit Paisley. They also provide on-going financial support to the breakfast and lunch program, which is all volunteer funded, as well as support to those individual needs of school students and the annual scholarship awarded to a Paisley High School senior.

Paisley Local Returns to Practice JIMMY HALL/Lake County Examiner
By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
In his Lakeview office, PA-C Kris McAllister provides important services to patients who come through the Lake Health Clinic.
It isn’t very often that a resident of a small city like Paisley returns to the same community that he departed from to practice in medicine, but that’s the circumstance that Paisley’s Kris McAllister found himself. As local from Paisley, which is just a few minutes shy of an hour north of Lake Health Clinic, McAllister commutes to Lakeview four days per week as its PA-C. In this capacity, he is a critical part of the healthcare system. At Lake Health Clinic, he does primary care as well as walk-in clinics, which is similar to an urgent care to see patients on a whim four days per week. On the last Friday of every month, he practices in Paisley, offering those essential services. “It’s not overly busy,” said McAllister about his minute office in the County’s only incorporated city, “but it helps people who can’t make it to Lakeview.” In a rural community with only a handful of primary care providers, there has been a gap in on-the-spot treatment. “I like making a difference for the problem that they’re there for,” said McAllister about what he enjoys about the spontaneous and faster paced walk-in atmosphere. “You see a difference immediately or within a few days.” Before the Lake Health Clinic opened its doors and offered walk-in appointments, many who needed attention would chose to go to the Emergency Room since the wait to see their family doctor would be too long for routine sicknesses, pain management or other symptoms or conditions that need quick remedies. “It’s something that has been needed a long time,” he said, remembering that it has been tested for about a year before the clinic was comfortable expanding its times for walk-in patients. McAllister’s path from Paisley to higher education and back to Lake County was one that he didn’t necessarily see himself taking.
He graduated in Paisley in 1997, from Pacific University in Forest Grove in 2005, where he attended PA school after becoming interested in primary care. McAllister was on a medical school fast track, which doesn’t give him the doctor title, but a practicing practitioner to work with a doctor. He said that there is a primary care void that doctors aren’t able to do and needs to be filled. PA school was intriguing to McAllister because it was a lot shorter than the 10-12 years that it would’ve taken him to become a doctor. It also allowed him to transfer from specialty to specialty without any advanced training.
“The hospital is like a beating heart.”
— Kris McAllister
He said that the factor that made him decide to become a Physician’s Assistant was when he shadowed a man by the name of Mario Diaz in the same occupation in Salem his sophomore year of college. “I would encourage all seniors in high school to shadow anyone (in a field) you think might be interested in because that’s the best education,” he said. From that experience, he switched his majors from biology. His career first took him to a community in north central Oregon. While residing in Boardman practicing at Columbia River Health, McAllister found himself communiLOCAL RETURNS cating through a website that was all about the City of Paisley.

LOCAL RETURNS From page 36 kept suggesting to return to the area to practice medicine. “Every time I came to visit, I had a harder time leaving. Your community grows on you,” he said. McAllister and his family of five made the move back to Paisley for a position at a local clinic in 2013 as Dr. Spencer Clarke’s physician’s assistant. “I wanted to raise my family here,” said McAllister, listing off its benefits such as its safety and school system. “I wanted to serve the community that served me when I was growing up.” McAllister has four kids, including Kloe, Noah, Lucy and Alea, with his wife Celeste. His oldest daughter, Kloe, lives in Portland with her grandparents as there are more opportunities in theater and dance. As if he wasn’t busy enough with his family and career, McAllister still finds time to help coach middle school basketball in Paisley, having competed in high school and in intercollegiate sports. He also volunteers with the Paisley Community Church, helping with Bible studies “The hospital is like a beating heart. If we didn’t have this, where would they go?,” he said, recollecting patients he has seen that come as far as Davis Creek, Beatty and other outlying areas. “We provide great care. The clinic is doing better and better in every aspect,” he ended.

Motocross enthusiasts from all over the state retreats to Oregon’s Outback for high flying action at High Desert MX.
With every weekend that is posted on the High Desert MX Facebook page, owner and manager of the Christmas Valley motocross destination uses the phrase “throttle therapy.” For him and many others who make the weekly rendezvous to the jumps, turns and stretches, driving high-speed motorcycles is more than recreation. As Christmas Valley is off the beaten path, many riders retreat to the high-energy oasis because there aren’t as many riders on the tracks and jumps. This doesn’t stop them from enjoying the competition and racing. “People like it both ways,” he said. Evans added that the selling point for bikers is that they are willing to travel miles and miles for a new and fun place to ride. “They don’t care about the mileage. They’ll get there and have fun,” he said. Another attraction is Christmas Valley’s sand and dirt composite that is different from a lot of the tracks, which is more of thicker clay. “It helps them in the long run of being faster and safer
while they’re being faster since they’re in more control,” said Evans.
Riders come from all areas in Oregon, including Medford, Eugene, Portland area, Burns and The Dalles.
The work began in July 2017 when Evans made his move to Oregon’s Outback. He purchased a CAT to work the sagebrush-ridden land that was formed into a series of jumps and other obstacles that anyone with moderate skill can traverse with ease. After four months of hard work, it was ready for its first weekend, which saw more than 70 riders. High Desert features 20 different jumps, corners, straight stretches and switchbacks to make for a fast, fun and safe track. With every part added up, Evans estimated
that it is about a mile long. Since opening in January 2018, Evans and his family have made steady improvements to the facility so that it’s not the same layout every time for the motocross riders. This also includes building a few structures as well as cleaning up and putting up fencing, though the high winds and snow weather have been deterrence. Once they get better weather there will be more involvement, camping and spending more of a weekend event for the facility. Another building for racers and a tower for an announcer to keep everyone involved with what is going on on the track. After that, among other improvements such as a start gate, Evans will be able to hold formal races. With more participation in the summer months, money will flow that will lead to further improvements. Taking up the full 20 acres with parking lot and track, though there is a 40-acre space to the west that some friends purchased. With a new 20 acres, Evans hopes to make a trail sys-
tem, sand drags and mud bogs. These features will bring out riders who have other vehicles, not just BMX’s. He noted that these additions would be down the road, possibly in 2019. “I want to do something small for every aspect of racing and riding,” Evans said. Over the winter months, there was a fluctuating amount of paying riders week to week. January through March have a predictably slower attendance though they have been open for consistent weekends. “There was probably one weekend where it was a bust,” said Evans, citing that the snow that was too stubborn to get rid of was the reason. “We had a foot of snow and I couldn’t get it to go away,” he laughed. Riders come from all areas in Oregon, including Medford, Eugene, Portland area, Burns

therapy From page 40 and The Dalles. “The word is getting out there,” said Evans. “Every weekend there is somebody new, which is great because they’re going to tell friends and it’s the best advertising.” Evans and his son, Cory, have been involved in the sport for most of their lives, traveling to tracks in Oregon and Washington and giving him a wide knowledge of what makes a fun track. With the High Desert MX track, Evans strives to find a middle ground to appeal to many riders as possible. “A lot of tracks go full extreme on tracks while others are more about speed,” Evans said. “I’m trying to be the middle guy to accommodate every caliber of rider. Everyone who wants to try or has tried.” With the recreational site that High Desert affords, there comes greater activity for businesses in the Christmas Valley. “People are eating at restaurants, buying gas, everyone is benefitting so far,” said Evans. “It’s not a big impact right now, but it’s going to be.” As an old hand in the sport, getting into it when he was five years old, he passed down the love of the dirt thrill to his 25-year-old son when he was the same age. Evans and his family are all in on making High Desert MX a success, moving into the area from Gresham to make sure that each weekend there are riders enjoying the track. “We’re low key and liking being out of the city, the rat race, we’ve had enough of it,” Evans said with a laugh. The track is open every Saturday and Sunday, weather permitting, from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Admission for each rider is $25 per day. High Desert MX is located five miles outside of Christmas Valley at 56721 S. Fandango Rd. in Silver Lake. For more information, email highdesertmx@gmail.com or visit its Facebook page.

Music in the High Desert By Michael Acosta Lake County Examiner Now in it’s sixth year, the Christmas Valley Music Festival has grown each year in its existence. “I am a musician also, so when I moved out to the desert eight years ago, I thought it would be fun to have some sort of musical gathering,” co-founder Earl Diment said. “Coming from Portland, I had several friends that were musicians and we used to go to gatherings and things all the time.” The initial concept was a simple stage where his friends could come hang out, camp and play music, Diment was in Portland one day talking with Brad Rehn who helped found the Festival and they decided to just do it, while growing the concept with new additions every year. “One day, I was down at John Flowerree’s place talking with him and he had a group of people playing and I told him that I had several musicians that were going to come play and I asked him if it was okay if we came and played here,” Diment said. The music festival got moved to John Flowerree Memorial Park (the park is named after Flowerree’s father) at the amphitheater, in order to maximize space and has been there ever since and has grown each year in its existence. The 70-80 musicians that will be performing at the Festival will come

Hundreds of people file out to Flowerree Park to hear their favorite bands or new bands showcase their talents on the big stage. stay on Diment’s 800 acre property and hang out. Then on Saturday, we’d all head down for the festival and provide entertainment for the mass crowds on hand. Each year improvements are made to both the park and to his property anywhere from lighting equipment to drum risers at the park. The first year, Diment and his band supplied the sound system for the event, which was just barely loud enough to cover the park. After talking with Flowerree, he wrote Diment a check to purchase a much louder sound system that has been in place since 2014. “Flowerree is a big community supporter and he is constantly making improvements to the park,” Diment said. “He gives a $5,000 donation to me every year, with half going to support the Christmas Valley Music Festival and the other half to
support the 4th of July festivities like the bands and fireworks show.” The Christmas Valley Music Festival is now a 501(c)(3) nonprofit as part of the Christmas Valley Foundation. They are now able to support many different causes throughout the County. “We decided that as we were playing, that we should raise money for a cause,” Diment said. “So we supported the High Desert Brain Food, which sent backpacks of food home with kids who may not normally have the chance to eat during the weekend.” Charging a mere $5-$10 fee annually, last year Diment said that enough money was made to feed kids for almost the entire year. In 2017, the Festival gave away a $2000 scholarship and they were able to donate $500 to the North Lake Drama Club, to
help support the arts program in North Lake. Since the festival continues to grow, Diment scans the entire state looking for bands that are interested to perform. According to Diment, bands from all over the state, from Portland, to Bend to Klamath Falls all come out for the festival. He does like local bands coming to perform as well. Diment is in a band performing with his friends under the name Loose Change and have been together for 25 years. “We have a lot of fun performing and hanging out with other bands, because we all kind of got our start in Portland,” Diment said. “We have a lot of fun

MUSIC FESTIVAL From page 44 doing what we’re doing.” While Diment handles the majority of the event in Christmas Valley, he credits Rehn who resides in Portland, for helping line up the bands and doing a lot of the behind the scenes work. “If I get burnt out, he comes down and helps me out and I really couldn’t do it without his help. He’s an equal partner in ensuring the success of this event,” Diment said. “I also couldn’t do it without the support of John Flowerree who donates the park every year so we could have a festival.” This year, the Christmas Valley music festival will be held on Saturday, Aug. 11 and different from previous years that featured a car show, this year will be in conjunction with the children’s art fair, who will have a big booth set up selling kids artwork. The Community will also have the opportunity to set up different booths to showcase their different talents and abilities. This year’s Music Festival will really focus on local support, because Diment believes that there are enough people not just in the Christmas Valley/North Lake area but also in Lakeview and Paisley to support the music festival. For more information contact Diment at 503-819-2417.

Theall tries to find extra cash on the side by taking aerial shots for realtors and ranchers.
For anyone who has lived or even passed through Oregon’s Outback, the one aspect that is almost always mentioned is its open landscapes and dotted destinations that are ripe for viewing. Lakeview’s own Shannon Theall has taken it upon himself to showcase the splendor that is Lake County, not from the ground but from the sky. Drone’s have taken off in recent years, in more ways than one. Theall was also caught up in the hobby in the past few years, but he was fascinated with photography even before that time. Around 1989, he became interested in photography and when he moved back to Lakeview in about 2000, he appreciated the huge vistas even more than in his younger years. He took a photography course at Oregon State University where he learned the mechanics of film production, translating to the world of digital in the modern age. Wanting to expand on the photography and videos to showcase the majesty of Lake County, he picked up digital on a trip to Japan in 2007 and has been using it ever since. As a “techie guy,” a drone came into the picture just a few years ago. “It was something that always interested me and I saw potential to expand it,” Theall explained. His first drone was purchased in 2016, a DGI standard, but didn’t have the range that he wanted. He upgraded to a pro version, giving him a two-mile range, quadrupling the distance. “Some of the newer drones have a four mile range,” said Theall. “There’s so many neat things to see and do,” he added, recalling when he was flying above the to-
pography in Abert. The drone only allows to go about 1,600 meters, which wasn’t enough for him to get to the very top. The camera that came with the drone is equipped with a 4K video and 12-megapixel photo ability. As a special and expensive piece of equipment, Theall is careful not to damage the set-up. These drones can run from $500 - $700 and as much as $10,000 for the best of the best. To process, edit and export the footage, he uses Go Pro Studio, a free software. For Theall to get the best results, winds have to be below 30 mph as well as ensuring that light conditions are optimal and where the sun is in the sky. He explained that the best time for flight and capturing footage is “Golden Hour,” which is one hour after sunrise and one hour before sunset to get the best color out of the landscape. His drone is connected to a smart device and controller hybrid, giving him complete control and view of what the drone is capturing. “You can see much better from the air than what you can from the ground,” he said. Theall doesn’t just capture for fun, though to him it’s a major factor in his occasional outings, but the hobby can also mean side revenue. He was hired a few times to take pictures and videos of properties in Harney, Klamath and Lake counties and Nevada to take footage. Other opportunities he’s looking to go into include realty and ranches. Theall explained that air shots can be beneficial for those looking to sell their properties, it would be useful to get a full view of the es-

tate. “If a rancher wanted to find out where the yield isn’t right, you can fly the alfalfa field to show where the problems are,” he said about even more applications. He also said that they could be used to visually inspect elevated places, saving time and increasing safety. He recalled a story of when a man stowed away in a chicken coop with several firearms in Modoc County. Theall was about to be recruited to fly his drone over the roofless structure for further intel for the responding agencies without putting law enforcement lives in danger. Though his assistance didn’t pan out, as the situation was deescalating when he got to the site, Theall reiterated that applications are limitless, adding that they can be used for Search EYE IN THE SKY and Rescue See page 50 attempts as well.

EYE IN THE SKY From page 48 Theall casually posts on his YouTube channel. A few videos show the breadth of the county. He tries to build a following, but has struggled gaining as much revenue as he could since the online service’s changing conditions for small creators. Since beginning, he’s at over 25,000 views. “I wish I had more time to do it,” said Theall, emphasizing his responsibilities to his family and work. A few of his favorite shots have come from soaring over Fort Rock as well as Honey Creek Canyon from Vee Lake. He would like to video Slide Lake, a destination that many people aren’t aware exists. He would also like to get above Abert Rim’s west side to shoot its topography. During the floods of 2017 winter, Theall was out to capture the flooding at Thomas Creek, which was the only way to truly understand the amount of overflow in the region. One of the most stunning
videos was a time lapse at Yocum Valley on Memorial Day weekend. He set up the camera in the middle of the day and programmed when to start taking pictures and at what intervals. “There was no photo editing on those pictures,” he said. Other places he would like to highlight would be the lava beds in North Lake, Crack-inthe-Ground, Crane Mountain in snow and at sunset. To beginners, he said that there was a learning curve to flying the device, adding that they are sure to crash it, so bring extra propellers to replace the broken ones. He also said that there were restrictions through the Federal Aviation Administration, which dictates that they must be within line of sight, no more than 400 feet over the ground and not to fly it over the public. He was certified through BLM, where he works and sometimes finds use. This past year, the BLM used them

Steps of the Past
Special to the Lake County Examiner By Greg Shine
Bureau of Land Management
Forty-three thousand years ago, a female Columbian mammoth limped through the shrub land of ice age central Oregon alongside her herd, leaving a trackway of footprints westward, toward the sunset. By limping, she eased the pain of her injured left leg, but she also communicated to her herd the seriousness of her wound. Concerned, a baby mammoth and several juveniles slowly sidled up to her for a few paces, diverging and returning as the herd journeyed across the volcanic soil. Such a scene – just a blip in the vast timeline of Earth’s history – can be reconstructed as a result of collaborative research on public lands at Fossil Lake, led by Gregory J. Retallack of the University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History, in partnership with others from the University of Oregon, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. The group’s findings, which were published recently in the journal Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, advance scientific understanding in two diverse areas: the behavior of Columbian

mammoths and the environment of Pleistocene-era central Oregon. During their time at Fossil Lake in July 2017, Retallack and his team identified 117 mammoth tracks in an area about 25 feet wide and 66 feet long. What really drew the team’s attention was one particular line of footprints – a 66-foot-long track with 39 prints from what they believe was an injured adult female mammoth. “These prints were especially close together, and those on the right were more deeply impressed than those on the left — as if an adult mammoth had been limping,” Retallack said. Nearby, other prints of multiple sizes and spacing suggested this mammoth was part of a herd. Prints alongside the injured adult that diverged from and returned to the injured adult’s prints suggested it was female. The size and spacing of the tracks also provided clues to the herd’s gait and age distribution. “These juveniles may have been interacting with an injured adult female, returning to her repeatedly throughout the journey, possibly out of concern for her slow progress,” Retallack said. “Such behavior
has been observed with wounded adults in modern, matriarchal herds of African elephants. You learn a lot about life in the past from fossils, but what you learn from trackways is behavior. And this one is exceptional.” Although not as vivid, the investigation of Retallack and his team also sheds important – and perhaps surprising – light on the area’s Pleistocene-era environment, known as its paleoenvironment. In studying the soil paleosols of the trackway and other Fossil Lake locales, the team found evidence for a climate dry in the summer, with larger lakes than at present, and the possibility of more significant snowfall than the site receives currently. Otherwise, they write, it was “not much different from today, but with more lowland grassland.” This lowland grassland paleoenvironment and grass-eating animals like the Columbian mammoths had an important relationship in ice age Oregon.

MAMMOTH TRACKWAY From page 54 to the survival of Columbian mammoths and other grass-eating species like ancient horses – one of whose single prints was also identified at the trackway site. In turn the animals would have been essential to the survival of the grassland, as their manure watered and fertilized it, and their trampling and grazing kept less tolerant plant species from thriving. The first thing today’s visitor to Fossil Lake will notice is that there’s no lake. Grains of white sand dance in steady, slow waves from west to east, driven by arid, tide-like winds that craft ripples and dunes. These twist and turn for what seems like miles in every direction, interrupted only by occasional clumps of deeply-rooted sagebrush, or patterned trackways of animals like the rabbit or coyote hardy enough to call this parched landscape home. The unique Ponderosa pines of Lost Forest frame the horizon to the east, as do volcanic buttes to the north, the Burma Ridge to the south, and the towering basalt columns of Table Rock, other maar volcano remnants, and eventually the Cascade Mountains to the west. A high-voltage power line crosses part of the ancient lakebed, and jet vapor trails occasionally mark the azure sky. A sign and bollard-and-cable fence protects the site from errant vehicles. There’s no water in sight. The surrounding dunes even block the view of the ubiquitous center-pivot irrigation systems that keep crops watered throughout central Oregon’s Christmas Valley. Fossil Lake did hold water, though, thousands of years ago during the Pleistocene era. Evidence to its pluvial past is regularly revealed and veiled by the blowing sand. Small objects scattered in the ripples and dunes appear as coal-black rocks to the untrained eye, but they are animal fossils from the lake’s ancient history.

MAMMOTH TRACKWAY From page 56 Fossils like these, and much larger, drew the attention of scientists by the 1870s. Paleontologists, including Thomas Condon, Charles Sternberg, and Edward Cope visited the site, hauled away tons of fossils for study, and used them to craft theories on Earth’s past during an era of cold-hearted competitive paleontology known as the Bone Wars. The popularity of their work, and others after them, raised the remote playa’s notoriety. It has since become one of the planet’s most important sites for vertebrate paleontology and is still relevant today, informing conclusions from remote central Oregon. Developing such conclusions required a team with a breadth of specialties and talents, and Retallack brought together some of the nation’s best, including two experts from the Bureau of Land Management – Brent H. Breithaupt, regional paleontologist from the BLM Wyoming State Office, and Neffra A. Matthews, from the BLM National Operations Center in Denver. Specialists in their field, the duo of Breithaupt and Matthews painstakingly documented the trackway site through photogrammetry – the science of making measurements and creating threedimensional digital models from high resolution photographs. At Fossil Lake, the duo’s photogrammetry produced extensive 3-D documentation and image mosaic creation of the mammoth trackways – at a striking level of detail. “We were able to make a half millimeter-level three-dimensional model from the surface, from which Dr. Retallack produced a map of the different trackways,” Matthews said. This photogrammetry helped the team see the minute differences and similarities in both the trackway’s prints and the surrounding surface. It also enabled greater interpretation and analysis of the ancient animals and landscape of Ice Age Oregon, including the story of an injured mammoth’s hobbled stride

Wildlife Haven Summer Lake’s Wildlife Area is making a difference in the Summer Lake area. The Summer Lake Wildlife Area is part of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and a common misconception is that they are the Summer Lake Refuge. “We’re a Wildlife Area,” Area Mgr. Marty St. Louis said. “The refuge is more appropriate to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife system. We’re a state wildlife area.” According to St. Louis, they are about 19,000 acres in size and are very similar to the ODFW here in Lakeview. The Summer Lake Wildlife Area is in the same district as the Lakeview District of the ODFW. According to the ODFW website, the Summer Lake Wildlife Area was established in 1944, with the primary goal of protecting and improving waterfowl habitat and providing a public hunting area. Following

droughts in the 1930s that affected most of North America, major conservation efforts on both private and governmental were enacted to reverse trends of degrading and disappearing wetlands, according to the Summer Lake Wildlife area management plan. St. Louis is the Fish and Wildlife Area manager and on his staff are two technicians and a seasonal person that works eight months out of the year. Even though he’s a manager, St. Louis regularly gets out with the technicians and does some of the same work that they do. He’ll plant, irrigate crops, maintain fences and do quite a bit of biological work, keeping tabs on the populations of different species of birds in the area. “Our main focus is the wetlands and the birds that inhabit the wetlands,” St. Louis said. “There are close to 300 species of wildlife here on the wildlife area. They rely on us for differ-

ent portions of their lifecycle.” To survey the populations of bird species, surveying occurs at different times of the year, with species of birds coming down at different times of the year. “We do periodic surveys, almost weekly when it’s the busy time of the year,” St. Louis said. “Then we’ll spread it to do the surveying monthly, doing the monthly survey in September, just in time for hunting season so hunters will have a good idea of what the bird population is like.” St. Louis said that currently, they are coming into the early part of breeding season, where at least 12 species of ducks and geese that nest on the Wildlife area. “Most importantly we provide places for those species,” St. Louis said. “It’s spring migration right now, so they’re stopping here in Summer Lake to refuel and then move on.”
Since hunting season typically runs from September – January as about 4,000-5,000 hunters check in per year. The springtime is time for managing the water and getting ready for irrigation season. “We’ll do a little bit of farming this time of year and we’ll work with some of the adjacent land owners to flood irrigate and cut some vegetation off in the form of hay,” St. Louis said. “The purpose of that is to make the land more attractive to some of these species.” With the mild winter faced throughout the county, it did present challenges but according to St. Louis, they are very fortunate that for the most part

WILDLIFE REFUGE From page 60 they are drought proof. “Most of our water comes from spring sources that are underneath Ana Reservoir that flow pretty consistently year round,” he said adding that the Ana Fire last summer burned probably about 700 acres of the Wildlife Area, which presented some challenges for wildlife, after hunting season ended. The fire last summer caused some of the wildlife to migrate elsewhere and eliminated some cover and food areas that some species of wildlife rely on in the winter. During the summer months leading up to hunting season, their primary focus is to make a safe hunting environment. “Portions of the hunting area become wildlife sanctuaries and we want to make sure those are posted and clearly marked,” St. Louis said. Deer hunting is rare up in the Summer Lake Wildlife Area, with St. Louis estimating that minimal deer hunting occurs up there, most of the hunting that occurs is game hunting. St. Louis has been in the same position for almost 30 years and he is thankful for the advances in technology. “We didn’t see the first computer until about four or five years in,” St. Louis said. “It used to be, we would have to do everything by hand.” Moving forward St. Louis feels like the continued water availability is the biggest problem facing the Summer Lake Wildlife Area.

Snow Geese are one of just many species of birds that the Summer Lake Wildlife Area sees each year. “While we are lucky to have a consistent source of water, it does seem to be declining a little bit,” St. Louis said. “Precipitation patterns are changing which brings its own set of challenges.”
The Summer Lake Wildlife Area is
located at 53447 Hwy 31 in Summer Lake.

Expansion in Future By Michael Acosta Lake County Examiner Lakeview’s GK Soundbooth, under new ownership since last summer has been hard at work over the last year. The McGowen family, who took over the business from Gretchen and Ken Stribling after 17 years, has stayed plenty busy despite being new to the business. “My husband Mike is the type of person who could never fully retire,” Robie McGowen said. “So he was looking for another business opportunity and saw that the Striblings were selling, so he asked me what I thought and here we are.” Mike came out and looked at the business and the building first, then brought Robie out and they both loved it. Once the purchase was complete, the Striblings stayed on for a few months after, ensuring a smooth transition. Mike had done manufacturing with the chemical company he had worked for previously, but nothing to this extent. They never envisioned themselves moving to Lakeview and running their own sound booth business. “We love it here and we’re so glad we made the move,” Robie said. “The Striblings have done a fabulous job and had a great reputation and we’re just happy to continue on.” Robie said that the Striblings were

very patient with them, while they soaked in as much knowledge as possible during the transition. Specializing in custom sound enclosures, such as sound booths for artists, drummer’s high schools that are in need of production facilities, GK Soundbooth does it all. “For example, if there is a big company that makes widgets and they want to know how much noise that particular widget makes, they will use our sound booth to test how much sound that widget makes,” Robie said, adding that a lot of appliance companies will use different enclosures to determine how much sound they make. GK Soundbooth is a custom shop, so they don’t keep any sort of stock on hand, when a customer calls, the McGowens will take down the information the customer wants and design from there. Each family member has a specific job to make the business thrive. Robie is the CEO and handles all the bookkeeping including sales and payroll. Megan is the finance director and handles the accounting. Mike is the production coordinator who oversees the production and helps source new things including research and development. Ryan McGowen, an architecture stu-
dent at the University of Oregon draws all the diagrams for the business and can work remotely. A two-man manufacturing team, made up of Charles Hendrickson and Joe Feeley, help out in the transition of management. Together, they have more than a decade’s worth of experience in sound booth production. “Those guys do it all,” Robie said. “Our guys make the door frame, walls, they do all the production and manufacturing. This is all very unique to us.” Depending on the size of the sound enclosure, determines how long the project takes. Robie said that some of the sound enclosures they make for the laboratories are more time consuming. GK Soundbooth is working with Lakeview High School Career and Technologies teacher Fred Smith about an apprenticeship program. Robie said that they’re really hoping that this project gets off the sound proof ground. She business would love to See page 66 see kids get

SOUND PROOF BUSINESS From page 64 certified in some of the classes that they take, and then the students can do a variety of jobs. “It’s been a little difficult, because Oregon law says that unless you’re 18, you can’t use an electric saw, plasma cutter or most power tools until you’re 18,” Robie said. Smith sent over a few kids that were under 18 and they clean up around the shop and get to see how the business works. “We’re hoping that the student we had last summer, sticks around, so when he turns 18 he can continue working for us,” Robie said. “We’d love to get people here that want to learn how the business works and work here for us long term. We’re not a retail business and we really want to be active in the community.” Robie added that they have been consulting with the library, for some finishing works, in hopes to make the library sound proof. GK Soundbooth currently has a lot of business and services people all across the United States. For 2018, Robie said they hope to continue and grow the business and get their research and development project off the ground. “We’d also like to add another shift like a night shift,” Robie said. “Instead of working 7 a.m. – 4 p.m., someone comes in at say 3 p.m. and works through the night.” GK Soundbooth is currently working on a new website, that will be completed later this year. “The website is going to feature us and the work that we do,” Robie said. “Once it’s up and running, we hope that it will SUBMITTED PHOTO reach more potential clients.” GK Soundbooth is located at 1350 S.

Filling a Need! SUBMITTED PHOTO
By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
When the only banking institution closed its doors in Christmas Valley in March 2015, it left an obvious void for the community. After a push from the public and some coordination with government officials, Pacific Crest Federal Credit Union, which is based in Klamath Falls, filled the need when it opened a branch November 2017. “There were stories about those who would get a paycheck on Friday,” said President and CEO of Pacific Crest Chad Olney, “and didn’t know how to get gas money to drive the 60 miles to the nearest financial institution to be able to deposit that check and use the funds that they earned.” Olney pointed out the geographic challenges that an isolated area presents, Christmas Valley located 65 miles from La Pine. According to a 2017 independent analysis by economists at ECONorthwest, credit unions are often the only financial services lifeline in
The much closer location in Christmas Valley affords North Lake residents a more convenient spot to do all things banking related. rural counties. Olney explained that members own credit unions and so they are chartered to serve in certain portions of counties, Lake County being one. “Our goal is to make financial services available to everybody in Lake County,” he said. “Some people in the community contacted Sen. Jeff Merkley, who contacted the Northwest Credit Union Association that reached out to Pacific Crest to see if the possibility of bringing a branch to the North Lake area would be feasible.” At that time, Olney was on the job for just 12 days, taking the position in early October 2016. “I made it a point to go out there to look at the area and saw that it fit with our mission.” A year afterward, a branch was established. Before opening the branch, there were 37 members in Christmas Valley area. At the time of publishing, there are over 300 members that the
branch serves with expectations that it will double over the next year. Olney explained that the business model works with a small overhead and footprint to serve small communities, while a more metropolitan area could serve upward of 15,000 people. “Credit unions across Oregon play a critical role in supporting our small businesses and rural economies,” Sen. Merkley said in a Northwest Credit Union Association press release at the time of opening. “By opening this branch, Pacific Crest is bringing much needed reliable financial services and economic opportunity to the region.” Open five days per week, services provided include daily transactions and loan applications, which can nearly be completed over the phone with a representative. The branch can also help with checking and saving accounts, debit cards, CD’s and health savings accounts. An investment services advisor who visits any outlying branches.
Every two weeks, he visits the Christmas Valley branch. Two-full time and one halftime employees who assist people navigate financial services and teller transactions, with a few who travel from Klamath Falls for specific reasons. Olney said that they are in the process of bringing fiber-optic Internet services to the area, a goal that the credit union has for every branch and community that it serves. He added that the financial institution is currently applying for a grant that would help put in necessary hardware for video conferencing to talk with a loan and mortgage officers. As a credit union, Pacific Crest strives to stay active in the community where they serve. Olney said that the mission is to provide a structure of products

CREDIT UNION EXPANDS From page 68 and services that help members in the community giving them an opportunity to prosper. “There’s a focus on making sure that we have the right products and tools available to meet their goals and be financially successful,” said Olney. Pacific Crest ensures that any charitable efforts help build the community, has a lasting impact and that they can prove that there is community support behind it. They also attend 4-H and FFA auctions on a consistent basis. Other community organizations that the credit union had contributed toward include local schools, Rotary clubs, Oregon Hunters Association, Future Business Leaders of America, Klamath Lake Food Bank, Klamath Lake Community Action Services among several others. This summer, they will host the company picnic in Lakeview. Olney said that it is on a rotating basis where there is a branch. On the last occasion, 80 percent of the staff made the trek to the Christmas Valley location for the grand opening and picnic. The crew also went to destinations like Crack-In-TheGround, went on hikes and conducted a local scavenger hunt in local businesses to shop and get to know the community. “We are excited to be a part of the community and provide that resource,” Olney said. The Christmas Valley branch is located at 57269 Park Rd. in Christmas Valley and can be reached at 541-576-2301. Lobby hours are Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. and by appointment on Monday through Friday 9 – 11 a.m.

JIMMY HALL/Lake County Examiner
By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
John Griffin was just one of the several guest speakers each month at the Western Villa, shedding light and history about the area and region.
Nine months out the year on the third Thursday evening of each month, Western Villa Mobile Home’s clubhouse is full of commotion. With windows lit up, passers-by will notice Lake County Historical Society (LCHS) members shuffling about inside. They sit on both sides of an elongated table to enjoy each other’s company, exchanging the happenings of the past month while consuming a potluck dinner made of collage of food offerings. Though this is what brings the dozen or more members together on a regular basis, it may be the least important doings that LCHS goes through in a calendar year. Its main mission and focus is preserving the history of Lake County through various means as well as celebrating its heritage. “We want to preserve the stuff that we can and the stories that go with it for those people who live 50 years who would also
want to know,” said Ray Simms, current LCHS president and former Lakeview town manager. One of the crowning achievements for LCHS is publishing the book, “Lake County History – The First 100 Years.” Within its 250 pages, a encapsulating account of the County, starting with its geography, early people and explorers, continuing on with the first settlers, town foundings, notable heroes and heroines, athletes, tragedies, buildings and businesses and a lot more that took up the century of history that laid within the County. A book committee was formed, which included Ken Burkholder, Sylvia Cleland, Becky Duffy, Marian Gover, Robert and Norma Lund, Jim Ogle, Dennis Simontacchi and Frank Vaughn. The editors were Ogle and Norma Lund. The book was printed in 2008. Jim Ogle’s new book will touch on the time before what was touched on
Preserving Local History the early inhabitants of Lake County, namely the American Indians who resided before eastern settlers and homesteaders, including the early man who inhabited the Paisley and Fort Rock caves. One other remarkable achievement came before and during the 2017 Irish Days celebrations. Thanks to the efforts of Marie Lee, local author and historian as well as sister to Simms, a quilt show found its way to The Gathering Place. With the several volunteers of the Oregon Quilt Project, who made their way to Lakeview for the occasion from the Willamette Valley, they were able to document each quilt that was given for the cause. In total, 70 were documented the day before at the local LDS Church building and during the Irish Days show. The public weaved through the corridors made of patterns to read the small story that came with each one. Each quilt, including four
Schminck Museum quilts, the Lake County Quilt and the bicentennial quilts, were put into a database along with more than 800,000 others in the Quilt Index at Michigan State University. “It was an important project undertaken,” said Simms. LCHS took a year off for Irish Days 2018, but members anticipate it to return on a yearly basis during the same event. An ongoing effort for LCHS is maintaining the Historic Village. Located at the Lake County Fairgrounds, the outdoor museum houses carefully displayed early settler artifacts. Curator and tour coordinator Ed Henry said that there are too many pieces to count. From wagons, farm equipment, building replicas and authentic structures, there is something for anyone

LOCAL HISTORY From page 72 who is interested in this era of history. As an enthusiast for these types of relics, Henry makes himself available nearly all hours of the day to conduct tours for any who meet him at the gated outdoor museum. Simms said that since Henry has nearly all the information about the pieces at the museum, he wants to move forward with a project to catalog each piece to preserve the knowledge. “There is a wealth of information and materials there, much of it is only known by Ed (Henry),” he said. “I would recommend a tour to anybody.” Simms is looking toward grants and the society’s own money to help preserve, whether through written or orally. He brainstormed the idea of putting stations up to help identify what visitors are viewing. Each May, LCHS holds an annual meeting, complete with a dinner and guest speaker. The public is welcome to attend for the well-catered meal and to learn about an aspect of Lake County. Previous guests included long-time regional reporter for Herald & News Lee Jullierat, Jack Nichol of the MC Chuckwagon Museum and University of Oregon’s Department of Anthropology Sr. Research Associate Dennis Jenkins, who has been researching the Paisley caves. This year will be Larry Turner, a photographer who has been active in the region for many years. LCHS continually supports the local museums, Schminck and Lake County museums, two other integral sources of knowledge, with their annual dues and other fundraising opportunities. Simms got involved when Lloyd Chandler passed away, his brother bought the ranch and the proceeds of the sale went toward LCHS. Over the years, Simms got more involved in the organization after he felt the pull to learn more about the past. “We need to record that and have it available to share it,” said

“Head Start” to Kindergarten
By Michael Acosta Lake County Examiner MICHAEL ACOSTA/ Lake County Examiner
A state of the art kitchen inside the Head Start building allows students to practice their cooking skills. Klamath Family Head Start Lakeview campus officially opened their doors to their brand new building in August, 2017. According to Site Mgr. Reejen Cooper, there are 40 different families that have children attending Head Start, which is the maximum number they can serve. Klamath Family Head Start is more than just a pre-school. They offer several different types of services including social services for families, they help families set goals, provide support to strengthen families, provide nutritional activities such as a healthy breakfast, healthy lunch and a snack and much more. Teaching Instructor Duffy Allin said that they also teach the kids how to say and spell their own name, giving them worksheets with their names on it, to work on letter recognition and their handwriting. All of the teachers at Head Start really enjoy being around the kids and working with them. “I love interacting with each and everyone of the students,” Allin said. “Watching them progress, getting them ready for the public school system is a joy to watch, not only for me but all of us teachers as well.” Before it was Klamath Family Head Start, there was an Oregon pre-kindergarten program and the Sunshine Center had a daycare and a pre-school program. “For families who maybe can’t afford to pay for pre-school, Head Start has been a huge help to them, helping get their child ready for the public school system,” Cooper said. Since Head Start is federally and state funded, there is a certain curriculum and performance standard that they must follow otherwise they could lose their funding. Head Start has 20 students per classroom and all of the teachers are very thankful for the new building, because their former building, right across from the McDonald park on the south side of town, space was very tight to fit all of the students. The current
Head Start building took three years to build, opening its doors in August, 2017. According to Cooper, one project currently in development is the playground that is currently under construction. There are currently four grants that Head Start has applied to, hoping to get a Natural Playground to help with a Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) approach. There will still be lots of open space, but the STEM approach helps prepare them for the public system. They hope to find out if they received any grants by April or May of this year. “Even though it’s not done, all the students love playing on it,” Cooper said. “When we had snow on the ground earlier in the year, the students were sledding, shoveling and having fun in the snow.” Head Start is a two-year program, if the student is coming in as a three-year-old. If they’re four, then it’s just a one-year program. Teaching Instructor Nellie Garner said that the biggest thing they are giving the students is a structure and routine and the ability to function throughout the day and transition between different things. “If the students can come in with the social skills, their routine and the ability to transition between different things than that’s huge,” Garner said. The Head Start staff meets with the kindergarten staff at the elementary schools and incorporates some of what the kindergartners are learning, like math. The teachers incorporate counting, matching, learning different numbers and also have fun games that the kids can play to help get them energized SCHOOL READY about math.

SCHOOL READY From page 76 up with what the teachers in the Lake County School District are teaching,” Teaching Instructor Angie Soder said. “The expectation for these kids is a lot higher than it was 10-15 years ago.” Head Start features a commercial culinary kitchen and is one of the most expensive things in the building. Head Start students learn how to cook basic things and do various cooking projects such as sugar cookies, tamales, pizzas, tortillas, salsa and much more. The students will prepare the food in the classroom and then take it into the kitchen, where Kristin Havel will place it in the oven. They try to do a cooking demonstration at least once a month. “The lesson behind that was Kristin Havel was able to incorporate the cooking into a lesson about simple machines and practice words featuring multiple syllables, as well as learning different ingredients, which is apart of the STEM curriculum,” Garner said. Cooper said that Head Start always welcomes volunteers to come in and interact with the students, as well as check out their brand new building. “The students really love having men there,” Cooper said. “No matter what age, they always get attached to the men.” For more information contact Head Start at 541-947-5335.

Town of Lakeview Mainstay
MICHAEL ACOSTA/ Lake County Examiner
By Michael Acosta Lake County Examiner
Lakeview Town Mgr. Roberta Vanderwall has traveled all around the state of Oregon, before settling in as the manager for the Town of Lakeview- for a second time. Most recently coming from Nyssa, where she spent nine and a half years as the town manager she has also made stops in Mt. Angel, Baker and North Powder. In 2005 Vanderwall did a short stint as Lakeview’s town manager until 2007 when she moved to Nyssa taking on the town managership there. Vanderwall said she didn’t always want to be a town manager growing up. “I was working for a lawyer in Baker and I had the opportunity to North Powder as a city recorder and I really got my start after they changed that position to city administrator,” Vanderwall said. “After awhile, I had several friends tell me that I should apply elsewhere because they felt I had too much going for me, to stay in that little of a town.” Working in Nyssa and Lakeview were very similar, not only in population but in the job description as well. In both cities,
Roberta Vanderwall accepts a flag from Rep. Walden that flew over the Oregon Capital for “National Cowboy Day” last summer.
Vanderwall was the buffer between the council and the mayor and she oversaw the administration police departments, fire departments and public works. She worked very closely Nyssa Police Chief Ray Rau as he turned around the police department. So, when Vanderwall needed an interim chief in Lakeview, she turned to Rau. “I consider Ray a very close friend,” Vanderwall said. “We had a very close working relationship and were in constant communication with each other in Nyssa and he, his wife and I have stayed friends even after I left.” Vanderwall really enjoys being back in Lakeview; she came back in 2016 starting out as part-time in July 2016 and became full time in September, taking over for Ray Simms, who retired. The decision for her to come back was easy, since her daughter and grandchildren live out on the Westside. She said she could’ve retired in Nyssa and stayed there, but she wanted to be closer to family. “I really enjoy what I do, I like the challenges that each day brings and one of
the most important things to me is building a team,” Vanderwall said. “When I got to Nyssa, there was a lot of disgruntled employees who weren’t in communication with management and they weren’t treated very well. When I first took over there, I started talking to them as human beings and began earning their trust and the council’s trust.” Vanderwall has built relationships her entire career and that hasn’t changed despite the familiarity she has in Lakeview. “We’re like a family here,” she said. “A lot of times we spend more time at work then we do at home. I enjoy throwing holiday parties and doing things for my employees.” Vanderwall has big goals while she’s town manager She wants a splash park at the kiddie park on the south end of town, a cover for the Lakeview pool so it’s not so cold and people can enjoy swimming in the pool and perhaps her bigSWEETER THE gest goal is to come up SECOND TIME with a solution See page 82 to the water

SWEETER THE SECOND TIME From page 80 problem in Lakeview. “I worked with Public Works on getting our new well on the north end of town up and running, because we discovered it hadn’t been used in several years and we have several grants out to get help with the water,” Vanderwall said. “I’d also like to see the changing facilities at the pool get improved as well.” Vanderwall also wants to take a look at saving money including going from manual reading of the meters for billing, to a more digitized system. “This whole system will hopefully save the Town some money,” Vanderwall said. “My goals when I started was to get the finances in order, find ways to save money and figure out what we can do to make the Town of Lakeview the best we can be.” Vanderwall was instrumental in getting the geothermal wa-
ter heater went up to the Warner Creek Correctional Facility and she credits Simms for getting the same system put in the hospital and the schools. Vanderwall loves being back in Lakeview and how welcoming everyone was when she returned. She thinks the fact that many people know her has definitely helped since she came back on board. “When I first got back, a lot of people welcomed me home,” Vanderwall said. “When I was here before, I not only built relationships but I built friendships. I love Lakeview and I love my job. I think we have so many opportunities to thrive.” Only proving that life is sweeter the second time around. In her spare time, she loves to spend time outdoors, skiing and at her cabin, north of town. For more information contact Town Hall at 541-947-2020. SUBMITTED PHOTO

Methodist’s Historic Behemoth
JIMMY HALL/Lake County Examiner
Located in downtown Lakeview, the United Methodist Church is one of the architectural splendors in the area. JIMMY HALL/Lake County Examiner
By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
One of the jaw-dropping features of the Methodist building is the sanctuary which has held up over the nearly century’s worth of use.
Lakeview’s United Methodist Church building stands as a relic of the past, approaching its 100th anniversary in just a few short years. For those who have stepped through its doors for its regular Sunday meetings or the congregations annual Harvest Dinner, they would be amazed at the majesty that the inside presents. The three-story building was constructed in 1921 and dedicated in May the year after. L.M. Turton drew up the original blueprints from Napa, Calif., according to engineer and church member Darryl Anderson, who still has these in his possession for safekeeping. According to the May 25, 1922 edition of the Examiner, the dedication of the building was performed by Bishop W.O. Shepard on Sunday, May 21, 1922, following a week’s
worth of celebrations, including a men’s banquet in honor of the clergyman. “The address of welcome was given by Mayor John Ward, who presented Bishop Shepard with the key to our city,” read the paper. “After a service featuring the Ladies’ Chorus, more than 200 assembled in the banquet room for the “basket dinner,” followed by other musical numbers by Mrs. H.A. Utley and the choir.” Anderson pointed out the Akron Plan that was used for several churches and religious buildings that housed Sunday schools, which was implemented for the Lakeviewbased sanctuary. It was built with foundational footings that were too small to hold up the stone walls, Anderson saying that the engineering companies that were around those many
years ago probably didn’t pay much attention to the soil conditions like they would today. This had led to significant sloping, particularly on the H street side, that demanded attention over the past few decades to keep the building sound. Anderson said that looking at the plans was interesting for him since there is an apparent of structural details, noting that they might have been lost or just not addressed. Steel beams support the sloped forms and work trusses that span the sanctuary that sit on steel columns and received repair over the years. Going over the plans, Anhistoric derson pointed out the rooms beauty that were See page 86 for specific

historic beauty From page 84 purposes, such as Sunday school classes, Boy Scout gatherings and the League Room for the ladies of the church. The basement was the hub for several social events since there weren’t too many other places with such a venue that would hold a large amount of people. Dances and social gatherings were held in the 1920s through the 1930s. The space featured a platform for any acts or bands to provide entertainment. The basement also had a “junior area” for younger church members and the public. The Lakeview chapter of American Association of University Women (AAUW), Collins Pine and other entities use the large space for occasional meetings. In the sanctuary itself has heard countless surveys and hymns ring from wall-towall. Over the years, there were a few concerted pushes to make the place a venue for community concerts due to its seating capacity and slope. Anderson remembered that part of the seating was condensed down to make just one center aisle, taking one out. Now, with all seating filled, it could hold about 300 people. On the outside walls, behind all the seating, all-original stained glass windows, which are beginning to sag though they were reinforced, feature names of the local founders. From the street view, the major char-

Anderson said that the only aspect he knows about is it was done by Italian stonemasons from the same stone that was used on the old Utley house located at Goldmohr Terrace north of Lakeview. Several years ago, the walls received much-needed maintenance with thanks from a Collins-McDonald grant. Other interesting characteristics were that it originally had a wood furnace and

there is a hidden entrance for the pastor that is disguised with the polished wood. Anderson said there was a parsonage, which the cleric would live in while ministering for the church. In the early 1970s, it was replaced by an outside structure. In the same area behind the pulpit, there was space for a pipe organ, Anderson saying that he wasn’t sure if it ever housed one. In its stairwell, a chairlift was installed in the 1980s to make it more accessible for members to get up and down. With such an aged building, the members look for ways to help maintain the historic building. That’s why they host the Harvest Dinner held at the end of October as the only fundraising event, seeing hordes of hungry diners visit the dining hall for an evening of eating. The money gathered goes toward building expenses, bringing in at least a couple thousand dollars for its ongoing efforts. Anderson said that there are still issues that need to be addressed with the funds to keep it up to date. “I want the building to stay somehow because it has historical relevance,” Anderson said. “It would be expensive to build a building like this and keep it preserved,” Anderson said. The United Methodist Church is located at 15 S. H St. in Lakeview and can be reached at 541-947-3804.

A Labor of Love By Michael Acosta Lake County Examiner After debuting their new school garden last year, students and teachers at Union Elementary School are using the garden as a learning tool and according to head teacher Laurie Nelson the students are very excited. “When Savanna Poole was a teacher here last year, she started with a pumpkin patch and she thought it would be cool to have an actual school garden,” Nelson said. “So Amanda O’Bryan put in for the grant to the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) and got us the greenhouse and from there we just started planning.” Lake County was one of

only two counties in the state of Oregon, but did get approval for the construction of one by the Lake County School District No. 7 Board in 2016. “Gardens are a big thing now in science and health education, with people wondering where their food comes from and that’s in part from the big push from Michelle Obama for preventing obesity,” Nelson said. The grant didn’t just cover Union, it also covered AD Hay Elementary and Fremont Elementary, giving them raise beds and other things to help their gardens thrive. Currently at Union, the students just finished planting winter vegetables that were started last fall. The Greenhouse came in
pieces, according to Nelson, saying that the Lake County maintenance crew helped with a lot of the prep work and offered tips on where to place the greenhouse, to get the best results and so high winds wouldn’t knock it over. The Westside Parents Club finished the construction, installing the sides and the roof. (Food Corp worker) Brooke Kelleher, comes in to the classrooms and does lessons that are aligned with the health and science curriculum. “She also does a little bit of math and the kids really like it because we get to incorporate three different subjects into the garden,” Nelson said. Once the vegetables are harvested, Kelleher along with Union Elementary Cook Bailey Guido will cook or slice them
up depending on the vegetable and the students will have taste tests every Thursday, so they can try out new and different vegetables. “We’ve taste tested raw and cooked beets, roasted cauliflower and pretty soon we will be taste testing kale and some of the other vegetables,” Nelson said. She added that this winter was relatively easy to keep up with the garden due to the mild temperatures, meaning that the students planted it and then left it. “The day we taste tested the raw beets, I was very

There is a food safety plan that was put in place by the state that shows how to properly harvest and those steps must be followed. “In the summertime when schools out, the Westside Parent’s Club takes volunteers and they each come out and tend to the garden,” Nelson said. “The families will harvest, water and weed and that happens all summer long.” Anything extra that they harvest or extra plants that are grown are taken to the local farmers market to be sold, in order for certain supplies such as hoses, seeds and soils to continue planting. The Grant did provide startup hoses, soil, shed to store equipment, raise beds, gravel and quite a few seeds. There were seeds that were donated as well from different businesses around town. Now that spring has come upon Lake MICHAEL ACOSTA/ Lake County Examiner County, the students will be outside growing traditional spring vegetables such as toma- Students prepare to plant Mother’s Day toes and cucumbers.

wants to plant watermelons, pumpkins as well as flowers for Mother’s Day. “We did plant a corn maize last year, but then the deer came by and wiped it out, so the agenda for this year is to finish the fence,” Nelson said with a laugh. She added that the Westside Parent’s Club will finish the fence with grant money provided from the Soroptimist Club of Lakeview through their healthy eating program. This spring classes will take turns out in the garden weeding, harvesting and watering plants under the watchful eye of their teachers, along with Guido and Kelleher. Nelson doesn’t have a green thumb, admitting that last year she overwatered several of the plants, so this year she is really proud of herself for planting and up keeping the different items correctly. She’s also very appreciative of the West Side Parent’s Club for all of the help they have provided throughout the acquisition of the Garden. “The great part of all of this is the kids are taste testing new vegetables that they would have never tried before,” Nelson said. “They’re also learning about all these kinds of plants, that they may or may not have ever learned before. Even for me, I had no idea you could grow rutabaga here in Lakeview, but you can.”

Anderson Engineering celebrates th 35 year By Michael Acosta Lake County Examiner
SUBMITTED PHOTO
Anderson Engineering and Surveying at the site of a Geothermal Well Construction. They just recently finished a Geothermal Well in the Modoc School District. Anderson Engineering and Surveying, led by head engineer and owner Darryl Anderson is heading into its 35th year of business and is still going strong. The company has been in the same building since 1993, after previously working upstairs in the Lakeview Post Office. Anderson always wanted to be an engineer growing up, he received his bachelor’s civil engineering degree from the Oregon Institute of Technology (OIT) began work with another engineer and once he left, worked with his father, who worked as a surveyor. He never envisioned himself owning his own business, until after going to work with his dad. Anderson also wanted to stay in Lakeview. “I set up the business in 1983 and we’ve been going strong ever since,” Anderson said. “In addition to the Lakeview office, we had a branch office in Redmond, but we
phased that office out in 2008 due largely to the economy taking a downturn and it just got to be a lot of work keeping up with both branches.” Anderson said they stay very busy here in town, so while he was looking at plans to expand in the past, he expects to just keep the Lakeview office. Anderson Engineering and Surveying doesn’t just work on projects in Lakeview, Anderson said currently they are working on a new well and storage tank up in Merrill, new sewage system up near Crescent, in addition to working closely with the Town of Lakeview on upgrades to the water system, plus inspection of bridges throughout the state. Bridges by Federal Law have to be inspected every two years for safety and structural concerns, so Anderson and his team do the local agency bridges in East-
ern Oregon including bridges in Lake, Klamath, Harney, Grant, Malheur, Cook and Deschutes counties. “For the last roughly 20 years, we’ve worked with ODOT on bridge inspections, so we inspect about 580 bridges on a two-year cycle,” Anderson said. “Once we complete our inspection, the data we collect goes into a national database.” Anderson Engineering and Surveying’s experience makes them well known throughout the state of Oregon and allows them to do work outside Lakeview. Currently Anderson said they have been doing a lot of work on hot water and geothermal, as they are just finishing up a project in Modoc, bringing hot water to the schools. They’re also doing a similar project at Klamath Union High School in Klamath Falls. “A lot of the bigger projects that we do are publicly funded through the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture or the Oregon Infrastructure Authority,” Anderson said. “We also will occasionally have to apply for grants.” There is a lot of research and development that goes into each project and a lot of times the funding can delay the start of the project. Receiving the proper permits can also delay the start of projects. Weather rarely plays a factor, Anderson said that his crews work in all types of YEARS OF weather, with SERVICE typically the See page 94 only outdoor

YEARS OF SERVICE From page 92 work being done is the surveying side. “Surveying plays a big role in our projects, especially pipeline routes and areas we’re going to put improvements,” Anderson said. One of the bigger projects that Anderson is working on is the completion of the Town’s water master plan, with several different options being researched in order to provide the Town with a solution. Anderson really enjoys doing the work that he does and loves working with the people in the community to fulfill their engineering needs. “I love building things and coming up with solution to problems,” Anderson said. “I like working with the community coming up with cost efficient ways to solve their problems, because some of this work is pretty expensive.” Based off name recognition and familiarity, Anderson said a lot of the clients come to him, they don’t have to do a ton of marketing. Since Anderson Engineering and Survey, has a lot of specialties, that makes them more attractive to cliental. According to their website, “their firm has the capability to tackle large projects, yet is compact enough
that we provide personalized, attentive service. This has resulted in a 90 percent rate of repeat clients.” Work has changed over the years. In the past, a lot of the work was done with a pen and paper and now, according to Anderson, everything is done on the computer. Despite being the owner of the company, Anderson still enjoys and goes out to work in the field doing some of the field and surveying work that needs to be done. “We’ve done several different projects, but I think the one I’m most proud of is the Geothermal heat in the schools and hospital, because that has several long term effects.” Anderson said. “We did an underground water tank project in Redmond that has a tennis court sitting on top. That was a really neat one to do. The grandstand cover at the Fairgrounds was a neat one as well.” Anderson Engineering and Surveying is located at 17681 Hwy 395 in Lakeview.

Music is the Glue For the local band Missing Identity, what started out as guys who loved to play music has turned into the formation of a band, who have been together for nearly nine years. “When I first moved here from Portland, I didn’t expect to find anybody to play music with,” Bass and vocalist Dan Decker said. “For awhile, I had been going back and forth between Lakeview and Portland wrapping things up with my business and a few properties and I was finally able to connect with Walt Lawton and Sean Gallagher.” Gallagher played keyboards, guitar and did vocals for Missing Identity, but moved. At the time he was the superintendant of the Lake County School District No. 7. Current drum-

mer Steve Anderson came on board and is still with the band. Decker began playing music when he was 17 years old, while Anderson started playing drums when he was 15 years old and guitar and vocalist Walt Lawton had been playing since he was 12 years old. “I played the clarinet when I was in the fourth grade and taught myself how to play the guitar a few years later,” Lawton said. “I played saxophone in the high school marching and jazz bands.” Decker had always played in different bands, owning a recording studio in Portland. His mother-in-law, Irene Barry suggested to him that he get together with Lawton and the two of them, along with Gallagher got together and just started play-
ing. Lawton wasn’t in a band at the time they began, but had played with Travis Riddle, the step-son of Anderson. Riddle was just 16 years old at the time. “We then started seeing if we could book some shows and pretty soon, the shows were getting booked faster than we could come up with songs,” Decker said. “But the band has been a lot of fun and we really enjoy playing.” Missing Identity plays a variety of genres, with Decker pointing out that they always try to play things they can sing. Just a few of the songs they have performed include Bill Withers “Ain’t No Sunshine” Ozzy Osbourne’s “Crazy Train”, Garth Brooks, “Friends in Low Places” and much more. “We’re a typical bar band,”
Decker said. “We play country, blues, classic rock, old time rock. We also play songs we like.” Missing Identity also plays some original pieces, to mix it up a little bit. Both Decker and Lawton said that some of the 80s music is a little hard to sing because the singers change pitch frequently throughout the song. Decker and Lawton recalled the difficulty of finding a name for the band, with each member wanting a different name. In the end, they came out with Missing Identity. Their first gig as Missing Identity was

Geyser Spouts with New Owners By Michael Acosta Lake County Examiner MICHAEL ACOSTA/ Lake County Examiner
A spouting geyser is one of several features that draws crowds to stay out at the Hunter’s Hot Springs. Hunter’s Hot Springs has new owners. Sam Watson, his father Mike and partners Frank Gonzalez and Emily Noack have purchased the historical building that has been around since 1920s. While the Hot Springs is open for travelers to come stay the night, Sam Watson hopes to have the Lodge, bar and banquet room up and running by Summer 2018, after making improvements. “We are still open for business, we encourage people to come stay the night and check out our pool,” Sam Watson said. “We’re going to begin work on the bar, lodge and banquet room and we hope to have all that done by June 21, but some of that depends on when we get our licensing from the OLCC.” Sam and Mike had been looking at purchasing the building since February 2015, when he came across the building “For Sale” while shopping online for shipping containers. After a few bumps in the road they were able to make the purchase and officially take over at the end of January. “We were on a trip here to southern Oregon and I told my dad that there was a hot springs for sale. So, we drove down, talked to the previous owners, told him we were interested in buying and within a couple days, it was off the market,” Sam Watson said. “We weren’t able to buy it at the time, but I
immediately fell in love with the place and dreamt about owning the business.” Watson would always call and check in, see if the Hot Springs had sold, staying in constant communication, until they were able to close the deal. Watson almost didn’t get the opportunity to purchase, as there was another deal in place with another owner. “I got a call, saying that a deal fell through with someone else that wanted to buy and they asked me if I was interested in getting the process started and I jumped at the opportunity,” Watson said. Watson said that they aren’t going to make too many changes; it’s more going to make improvements and preserve the history of the building. “The scenery, the geyser, the pool, I just love all of it,” Sam Watson said. “I’ve always wanted to own a hotel. This place isn’t perfect, which is what I love about it. I love these historical buildings. I never thought at this age, I would be able to own my own hotel.” Sam Watson added that he has really fallen in love with Lakeview, he loves how friendly and welcoming everyone has been thus far. He wants to keep the historical aspect of the building, while just making some minor improvements to other areas of the hotel.
“The bar, restaurant and lounge are our main focuses,” Watson said. “We have an entire five-year-plan of what we want to have happen, but our main focus right now is those three areas.” “So far around town my vibe is there is a lot of memories here in this hotel,” added Mike Watson, “The history here is amazing and we’re just happy to have the opportunity to bring some of that back.” Both Mike and Sam are excited to get things started and give the people a hotel that they can enjoy, while making memories. Despite owning a few dispensaries up in Portland, Sam has no plans to grow cannabis here in Lakeview. He wants to put all of his time and money into Hunter’s Hot Springs, to make it the best it can possibly be. “My main goal is to do events and concerts and stuff out here,” Sam Watson said. “We will allow marijuana consumption in the rooms, but my focus isn’t growing cannabis in Lakeview, my focus is on the hotel and drawing tourists and promoting tourgeyser ism in Lakeview. From my See page 102 understanding,

GEYSER From page 100 the building was used a lot for business meetings and I want to get back to that.” Watson hopes to have some masseuses and some small events leading up to the summer. Looking ahead, once the inside is finished and remodeled he hopes to bring concerts and other larger events to come play and entertain. He also is interested in bringing a sushi chef. He has several connections back in Portland and all around the state. Watson stressed that Hunter’s Hot Springs is currently open for business and residents can come and stay and enjoy the pool. He encourages everyone to come down, stay a night, check out the geyser and enjoy everything about the Hot Springs. Hunter’s Hot Springs is located at 18088 Hwy 395 in Lakeview.

THE GLUE From page 96 performing at the County’s Christmas party at the Indian Village Restaurant. “We only had a few weeks to prepare, so that definitely made things interesting,” Decker recalled. Missing Identity has played at a variety of events all over the state, including a wedding in Ashland, where the man who requested them, found them on the Internet. They have also played in Alturas, the Cedarville fair, New Year’s Eve at the Brass Rail in Alturas and more. Over the years, the band has built up a rather large following, including a very big following in Alturas. With all three of the guys having full time jobs, it’s been a little challenging at times to find times to rehearse as well as play at gigs. “With the line of work that we are all in, this band is a weekend thing,” Decker said. “A lot of times we will rehearse the week before or the week of a gig,” added Lawton saying that they’ll get together and run through some of the songs that they will be playing at that particular show. With all three men having full time jobs and Decker very involved in athletics, it limits some of the shows that they have played. Lawton has occasionally filled in and played with Riddle from time to time. Missing Identity doesn’t have a favorite show or place to play, they have enjoyed playing at each one of their shows. Both Decker and Lawton really enjoyed playing at the Elks Lodge last year for their birthdays. “Steve’s uncle from Idaho came down, celebrated and played music with us,” Decker said. “It was like one big jam session and it was a lot of fun.” “My 87-year-old mom flew out from Pennsylvania to hang out

and that was a special moment,” added Lawton. Missing Identity loves to play music and Decker feels like that’s what separates them from some of the other bands. “We all love hanging out together and playing music because it’s fun,” Decker said. “We all get along and I think it’s important that we all stay on the same page.” For more information visit Missing Identity’s website at missingidentity.net or call 541-947-2706.
