Hitting the

high spots Above: Star Lake and the Carson Valley from the summit of Jobs Sister.

“A

re we still on?”

“Absolutely.”

My friend Jason Fiorito, a recent transplant from Washington State, had been eyeballing these peaks for a while.

A backcountry skier, Jobs Peak was a tentative bucket list route that he was interested in, when there’s snow of course.

“Can you drive Jason?” “My wife has the Crosstrek,” referring to our higher-clearance Subaru that would be necessary for getting up Road 51 to our starting point. “No problem,” Jason said. “Pick you up around 7:30 after I drop the kids at school.”

“So, this is about 12 miles right?...

Should take us about five hours from what I’ve read.”

On this day our plan was to hike three of the four highest peaks in the Tahoe Basin. Jobs Peak (10,633 feet), Jobs Sister (10,823 feet) and Freel Peak (10,881 feet). Mount Rose, at 10,776 feet would not make the list today.

Jason picked me up at the scheduled time and we were off, traveling down Highway 88 from Minden to Pickett’s Junction and up Highway 89 about a mile before turning onto a poorly marked FS 51. A little trepidation on my part as we were traveling south on 88 as the wind was blowing pretty strongly across the highway. A change in the weather was headed our way, hopefully it wouldn’t affect our hike on this September day.

Now it’s two miles back to the truck.

CARSON VALLEY ALMANAC 2017

“So, this is about 12 miles right?” Jason asked.

“Yeah, I think so. Should take us about five hours from what I’ve read.”

The information on the web is a little spotty. I had done Jobs Peak with my younger son earlier in the summer, so I knew where we had to go to start. The plan was Jobs, Jobs Sister and Freel, in that order. It seemed, from what I had read, that this was the direction most hikers took. We needed to be back at Jason’s truck around 2 p.m. as he had to get back to town for an appointment later that afternoon. We parked the truck about four miles up FS 51, there are no signs indicating where the trailhead starts, but I knew where to go, at least on this segment of our journey.

It was chilly. The truck was indicating 51 degrees at the trailhead, gusty winds were blowing dust around the parking area.

“I’m thinking we may not spend a whole lot of time on the summits,” I commented to Jason. “You could be right,” he said as we hefted our packs onto our backs. I was kind of thinking to myself I may be a little under-dressed.

Right from the gun you start gaining elevation. Rapidly.

The summit of Jobs Peak is only 2.6 miles up, but it’s a lot of “up.” Protected in the trees the wind was not much of a factor.

It wasn’t cold, but it definitely was not the summer day my son and I had on our Jobs ascent.

We were making good time, a few pauses for pictures and one stop for Jason to eat a little breakfast, and we found ourselves at the summit in an hour and 20 minutes. The wind was absolutely howling and it was cold. Jason wanted to scout a potential ski route so we poked around on top for about 15 minutes, I snapped some photos and we were off again.

A slight descent and traverse of the saddle we had crossed on our way up, and we were headed to Jobs Sister. The terrain is mostly made up of loose rock and sometimes the route disappears a little. This would not be the first time we would lose the trail.

After emptying the dirt from our shoes, we found the trail again. It’s mostly just footprints in the sand, but they’re pretty plain to see most of the time. We had to lose some altitude to start our way up Jobs Sister, which was now looming in front of us.

“I’m thinking we may not spend a whole lot of time on the summits.”

“I think the escalator is right over there,” I quipped to

Jason.

“Yeah, right,” he says.

We start gaining elevation rapidly. This was not going to be easy.

“Oh yeah, now I remember reading that Jobs to Jobs Sister was the hardest part of this hike,” I mentioned.

“Ya think?” Jason sarcastically replied. “This is brutal!”

And we had just started. Even though we could see where we needed to get to, it looked a million miles away. There really was no trail, just a bunch of footprints in the dirt, rocks and tree roots going straight up the mountain. In places there were some rudimentary switchbacks, like somebody actually had a trail plan, but there was no “trail” to speak of. The good news was we knew we were heading the right direction. The bad news was both of us 50-something-year-olds could have a heart attack at any time.

“This is harder than Mailbox,” Jason says, a well-known difficult hike in Washington that he has done in the past.

Slightly less than a mile later we made it to a protected saddle where someone had built a wind break. It was a good place to re-group, eat some food, empty shoes again and take a little look around. Thankfully the weather had warmed a bit.

The wind was still gusting, but the temperature had come up.

Either that or we were just hot from our ascent. After about 10 A GUIDE TO LIVING HERE

minutes we climbed up another 200 feet and were treated to a spectacular view.

“Oh, wow.” Jason commented, taking it all in.

“Holy moly, I think I’ll get the big camera out of my pack,” I said.

It was truly amazing. The windbreak where we took a little breather was just below the summit. Neither one of us knew we were this close to all of this visual splendor.

Wow.

It was a crystal clear “typical” Tahoe day. No haze, no fire smoke, just beautiful blue sky and a stunning 360-degree view.

“I should take a video,” I said, “But I hope I don’t get blown off this rock!”

Unfortunately, we needed to get going again. We were hoping to make the top of Freel by noon.

“You know in the movie ‘Vacation,’ where Ellen Griswold asks Clark to come look at the Grand Canyon? That’s kinda what this feels like,” Jason comments. (In the movie scene, Clark had just stolen money from a store cash register and did not want the store owner to catch up to them…)

It looks like the route over to Freel will be mostly easy, with a short kicker to the top.

“This is like a big beach or something, “ Jason observes.

We’re now traversing a large, flat, sandy expanse in between

the two mountaintops. It’s still windy and we’re exposed, but thankfully, it’s not all that cold.

It looks like there are two different routes to the top, one is a little more of a traverse on the south side and the other goes directly up. We choose the direct route. After the ascent to Jobs Sister nothing’s gonna be hard anymore. Ten minutes of determined climbing and we’re at the summit. We meet and chat with four women,who had come from the other direction and find out that we had passed a couple of their husbands who were heading to Jobs Sister. Another pair of hikers make the summit while we’re there chatting. Looking down the trail, we can see other groups of hikers making their way up. It seems Freel Peak is a popular destination on this Monday.

At this point we’re not really sure what our route is back down. The ladies on top give us some directions and we’re off again after having one of them take a quick photo of us. We say “hi” to the other people coming up.

It seems like a pretty circuitous route to get back down.

We have to head west and around the base of the mountain to get pointed back east toward the truck. It’s mostly a wellestablished trail, but we managed to lose it and decide to bushwhack-scramble down through the loose rock. Eventually we find the trail again.

“This doesn’t seem right,” Jason says.

“Well, I think it’s the only trail outa here, so as long as we’re heading the right general direction I think we’ll get back to the truck.” I say.

It goes on and on. We switchback a couple of times and decide to shortcut the trail as we can see another trail below us.

Shoe emptying time again.

“I should take a video, but I hope I don’t get blown off this rock!”

It’s pretty warm as now we’re on the south side of the mountain. Plus, we’re in full “Clark Griswold” mode. We’re going to be cutting it close to get Jason back on time. Eventually we come to a junction that the ladies had mentioned. We say ‘hi’ to a couple of mountain bikers out for a ride.

“Maybe we should knock them out and steal their bikes, “ I joke.

Now we know just how far we are from the truck, about two miles.

“I’m so tired I don’t think I could even beat up an old man,” Jason comments. “My feet are on fire and my knees really don’t like this downhill stuff.”

I know what he’s talking about. We’d been descending for a long time and have been half-jogging a little, too. We couldn’t afford a leisurely pace.

It really is beautiful on this side of the mountain, even in our hurried state we ogle at the rock formations and changing colors.

We finally make it back to the Forest Service Road (51) we drove up this morning. This was probably the worst part, knowing how far we still have to go on this big, boring road. Finally the truck is in sight at the staging area. Jason raises his arms in victory and lets out a little “yay!”

According to my SkiTracks app I had running on my phone during the hike the total distance was 10.9 miles with a vertical gain of 3,756 feet and a max slope of 32 degrees. It took us six hours and 15 minutes at a less than leisurely pace due to our time constraints. I might recommend doing this hike the opposite direction that we did it, especially if you’re not real fit. Just be prepared for all kinds of weather possibilities, take plenty of food and water and pack some Band-Aids for your blisters. ■

Youth

camp has grown with the times

One of the China Spring Youth Camp dorms.

KURT HILDEBRAND

S

ince its modest beginning on Aug. 1, 1983, China Spring Youth Camp has seen many changes, not to mention many young men and women who have passed through what has become a model program for juvenile treatment facilities in Nevada.

Just ask Wendy Garrison, who started in 1993 and now serves as director of a facility that houses the China Spring facility for boys and Aurora Pines for girls on land nestled in the Pine Nut Mountains about 2-1/2 miles off Highway 395 south of Gardnerville. Or ask Case Manager Jeff Gorton, who has been at the camp since 1994.

They will tell you this is more than just a job.

“I still am thankful to come to work south of town every day,” Gorton said. “You come up here in the winter time, it’s beautiful. We’ve got deer in camp, we have bears that come through, we have wildlife. I count my blessings.”

Added Garrison: “We have a badger at the top of the road.

Coming up the road, we always like to say, ‘We get to work in the best place in the Valley.’”

STORY BY DAVE PRICE

A GUIDE TO LIVING HERE

21

The camp was originally designed to help troubled youths who have been neglected, abused, or who have indulged in antisocial behavior yet have not committed major offenses.

Today, the combined facilities have funding for 40 boys and 16 girls who come from Douglas County and 15 other counties statewide (except Clark County).

The youth at any given time may range in age from 12 to 18 years of age, according to Gorton.

“We run the gamut,” he said.

The job of supervising the youth is handled by a staff of 45 full-time workers supplemented by relief staff that includes part-time or on-call personnel.

“We have a dedicated staff, but the reason we do it is because we see the need for the kids to have to change,” Garrison said. “We see the ones who want to change, and that energizes us.”

In The Beginning

Director of outdoor activities Chris Van Gieson, along with camp director Carol Jensen and her husband, David Steinke, were at the camp for that opening day on Aug. 1, 1983. By week’s end, they had three youth, two from Douglas County and one from Mineral County, to officially signal the start of operations on a 40-acre site that had been donated by Carson Valley rancher Stoddard Jacobsen.

The July 28, 1983, edition of The Record-Courier reported that China Spring opened about 18 months earlier than had been planned, according to Chief Juvenile Probation Officer Frank Angelo, because of funds provided by the 1983 Nevada State Legislature for operating the camp.

Retired District Judge David Gamble was a key figure in the development of Aurora Pines and China Spring. He pointed out that a community effort was responsible for the creation of the camp.

“The buildings were kind of built, really, from scratch.

They were all block buildings and stucco that Robbie (Norm Robison) and Judge McKibben really put up on a shoestring (budget),” Gamble said in a recent interview.

The Sept. 29, 1983 edition of The Record-Courier reported that Dave Troutner had been hired as the camp teacher. At the time, Troutner said part of his philosophy of education was to enable the students to use what they’re learning. For example, the kids were building fences and installing water pipes. What better way to utilize one’s geometry and mathematics skills?

“The kids are making applications of what is learned. They learn more if they apply it,” Troutner said.

“We have a dedicated staff, but the reason we do it is because we see the need for the kids to have to change.”

Keeping the camp open required a major effort, however, and in 1985 the camp was forced to temporarily close due to a variety of reasons that included bad water, deteriorating facilities and staff shortages.

China Spring celebrated its official reopening on Aug. 10, 1987, in a ceremony that attracted local and state dignitaries, including Gov. Richard Bryan.

Judge Robison designed the new camp, buildings and helped build them.

“He was the electrician, the carpenter, the nail hammerer, you name it and Norm was here to handle it,” State Sen. Lawrence Jacobsen said at the time.

Gamble remembers the occasion to this day.

“The reopening in 1987 was monumental because, by that time, we had brought the power in up the hill from the highway,” he said.

Aurora Pines

A vision to include a facility for girls existed from the start, and in July 2002, that vision became reality when Aurora Pines opened.

“Wendy Garrison and I actually developed the idea of creating a girls program parallel to the boys program,” Gamble said. “Over the years, we saw the percentage of girls rising faster than the boys’ offenses, so there was literally no reason why there shouldn’t be a girls facility.”

Funding from the Nevada Legislature was approved in 1999, although Garrison said she first began work on the project about two years earlier.

“I went to New York and researched the girls program they had in New York at the Harriet Tubman Center in Buffalo,” she said. “I went there and figured out how they run their program.

We put it together from our experience, from what Judge Gamble wanted, and what Steve (Thaler, China Spring director at that time) directed me to do, which was to write a program that was separate from the boys.”

Gamble couldn’t help but smile when he recalled a conversation he had with Stoddard Jacobsen regarding Aurora Pines. You see, Jacobsen was not in favor of having the boys and girls programs housed next to each other.

“He said, ‘Oh, great, Dave, you’re going to have a boys program right with the girls program. When are you going to start the babies program?,’” Gamble recalled. “And the funny thing was, we were already doing that out at City of Refuge, also with the help of Stoddard, although that was private.

“Stoddard didn’t approve of the girls program being alongside the boys program, but it’s worked wonderfully. It’s been kept separate and the girls now get the same services as the boys, and that’s the way it should be.”

Moving Forward

Garrison proudly pointed out recognition received through the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (PREA).

“I was told by the PREA coordinator at the state level that we were the only juvenile facility in the state that is PREA compliant and certified right now,” she said. “And that was thanks to my great staff. Lesley Keith (training and development manager) took that on, and it’s about a ninemonth audit process. There are over 400 little pieces, and if you fail one item or sub-item, you fail. We think we do a good job, but it’s nice having someone else come in and say, ‘You do a good job,’ especially someone who goes to other facilities across the country.”

Gamble paid tribute to the camp and how it has evolved from those early days.

“Over the years, we saw the percentage of girls rising faster than the boys’ offenses, so there was literally no reason why there shouldn’t be a girls facility.”

“There are lots and lots of kids I see now that are adults and are even friends on Facebook that were kids who went through China Spring and Aurora Pines,” he said. “I meet them as adults and they’re contributing to the community. Of course, there are bad stories that happened, but that goes along with the territory.”

Gorton and Garrison have seen their share of success stories as well.

“We had a kid come back the other day, he was dressed up in his tie and getting ready to go to work. He just showed up and said, ‘I’ve been meaning to come out here and say thank you to you guys. You changed my life,’” Gorton said with a wide smile.

Added Garrison: “One of our girls emailed me just last week and she wants to come out and teach the kids financial responsibility, so she is going to organize that.

“So those are the ones that we live for,” she continued.

“We know that we’ve helped a lot of kids. In reality, they help themselves, we just give them the opportunity to do it.”

Feb. 4, 1982 edition of The Record-Courier,

by Sheila Gardner:

The Douglas County Juvenile Probation Department launched a $200,000 fund drive to build a youth facility to be called China Spring Youth Camp. “It will be a rather Spartan community. There will be no electricity and they’ll have to take care of the gardening and the animals we’ll have out there. The only comfort we will have is propane because you can cook with it.”

July 28, 1983 edition of The Record-Courier,

by Joyce Hollister:

A camp director and other staff members will take up residence at the China Spring Youth Camp on Monday (Aug. 1, 1983), and by the end of the week youths will be officially residing at the camp.

July 4, 1985 edition of The Record-Courier,

by Joyce Hollister:

The China Spring Youth Camp will close on July 31 because of bad water, deteriorating facilities and staff shortages. According to Chief Juvenile Probation Officer Frank Angelo, the committee that operates the camp hopes to re-open as soon as a new dormitory-classroom facility is completed. Water has to be brought in because the existing well is bad, Angelo said, and a new well will have to be drilled.

Aug. 13, 1987 edition of The Record-Courier,

by Treva Zeller:

Community spirit helped make the China Spring Youth Camp a reality, Gov. Richard Bryan said Monday (Aug. 10, 1987) in dedicating the juvenile center before a crowd of about 150. “Private philanthropy — that’s what it has really taken to get this project off the ground,” Bryan said. “It’s a tribute to this community, both the civic and political portions, that you responded to this enormous project.”

June 13, 2001 edition of The Record-Courier,

by Jeff Munson:

After five years of planning, construction will begin this month on a ($2.8 million) expansion of China Spring Youth Camp, including a facility for girls.

“This has been in the works for five years, and once we secured funding from the state, it was just a matter of time,” Camp Director Steve Thaler said.

At my look of astonishment, he continued, “It really is a very long time.” He would ski or snowshoe into a selected spot, light the fuse, toss it into a cornice, and have those minuscule moments to get to safety, a massive wall of snow cascading down right next to him. Setting off these controlled avalanches diverted larger and more dangerous ones from taking people unaware. Based at Caples Lake, Calif. Don became an expert in the field. The study of snow patterns in a particular area requires years of dedication and hands-on study. You cannot understand wind patterns, types of snow, or topography without really being there.

STORY BY LISA GAVON

A GUIDE TO LIVING HERE

Born in Ottawa, Canada, Don’s family came to the U.S. when he was 5 years old. His father was a miner, and relocated his wife, two daughters, and two sons 11 times in 12 years.

Don became very Americanized in this demanding boyhood, and when he returned to Canada to stay with his grandmother, they taunted him for his accent. As with other challenges in his life, Don took it as an opportunity to learn. The lesson?

“Accept people for who they are,” he says. This has served him well over the last 20 years in the challenging position of supervisor in Alpine County.

Besides Canada, Don’s formative years were spent at mine sites in Colorado, Wyoming, Arizona, Montana, Utah and Nevada before the family settled in Alpine County, Calif.

While living in Silver City, Nevada, Don was even cast as an extra on the set of the famous Marilyn Monroe movie, “The Misfits.” But it was not until he started the seventh grade at the old stone schoolhouse in Woodfords that he felt like he found his true home. The family lived in the old Merrill cabin on Crystal Springs Road for a short time when Don was very young. Upon returning, they lived two miles up Monitor Pass in an old cabin to the right of the roadway.

They had a pickup truck his mother drove into Markleeville where he rode the school bus driven by Gary Coyan. When he attended Douglas High, there was only one

“You have 70 seconds to get away from the blast...

It really is a very long time.” bus that came back to Markleeville, so his friend Larry Ford would drive him up to the cabin after football practice. All his youth, the family never had a TV, giving Don the opportunity to become very comfortable with the natural world. Don says that it made him a person who really cares about the environment, and about people. He is very connected to this place, and has lifelong friends who know everything about him, and that has taught him a lot. Don has found that it is not good to carry grudges. He thinks that even if you have a difference of opinion, there is always a way to work through it.

Don’s mother was always there for him, and Don has stood by her. She was inspiring, having joined the Canadian Navy when she was 18. She taught him how important it was to “do your duty for your country.” When World War II veteran Gilbert Bennett advised Don to “join anything but the Marines, they will eat you alive!,” Don took the challenge and became a Marine. Living in the isolated Alpine world, he did not even hear about Woodstock until he was already in Vietnam. He was a corporal at his discharge, with a National Defense and Vietnam Service Medal, Campaign Medal, and Rifle Sharpshooter Medal. He was assigned to riot control in Washington, where his training was with live fire. He never talked about it to anyone when he returned home to Alpine County. It was a very different time. His father passed in 2010, and his mother in 2011, but they gave him the ability to set down his permanent roots in Alpine, no matter where else his travels had taken him. Married to Sharon Osgood for over 12 years now, Don has one beautiful daughter, Sarah from a previous marriage.

From 1972 to 1986, he worked at both Cal-Trans and at the Zaca Mine. It was here that he got his blasting license, and used it to make the tunnels where they looked for both silver and gold. The Jardine Tunnel, running some 650 feet into the mountainside, is named after Don and his father. Don would muck out, drill blast, and lay track. They would take the rock, load it into the dump truck and take it to the ball mill on the highway where it would be crushed to a very fine mud and laid out to dry. It was difficult work.

Don was an EMT, reserve deputy sheriff, fire department volunteer, and member of the library commission when he won his first term as supervisor against four other candidates in 1986. Alpine County is the foundation of his life, and he has always loved the area. In particular, he does not want to see Hope Valley developed. Don is on the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board and the Carson Water Subconservancy District. He cares deeply about issues surrounding water use and sustained economy. He says that he works hard to be a good steward of this very special place.

Don’s bravery has not been limited to fighting for his country, but encompasses a protective love for the land, history, people, and families of Alpine County. ■

Coming to the

rescue Carson Valley residents Garry Den Heyer, left, and Clarence Godecke shake hands after meeting and talking about Operation Chowhound, a World War II mission to provide food to the people of Holland in May 1945.

JIM GRANT

A

single rumpled burlap sack that fell from the sky above Holland 70 years ago has connected two Carson Valley residents for a lifetime.

Former U.S. Army Air Force pilot Clarence Godecke dropped that sack into the backyard of Garry Den Heyer who was a small boy living in Sheveningen, a district within southern Holland’s The Hague.

“I want to thank you personally for what you have done for us,” Den Heyer of Gardnerville, said as he touched Godecke’s arm. “I still personally feel I can never replace what the U.S. has given me.”

From May 1-8, 1945, U.S. pilots traded in their bombs for thousands of pounds of aid bags to drop near Holland’s coast in the last mission they would fly during World War II called Operation Chowhound.

Godecke, a lieutenant colonel of the 338 Squadron of the 96th Bomb Group, responded to Den Heyer’s thanks by explaining his emotions taking off on that mission, the last of his career.

“I was very glad to do that after dropping nothing but bombs for years,” the 95-year-old said. “It was nice to do some good. I had a little different emotion about this mercy mission than any other I’d flown, but I took it on.”

Although he volunteered for a second tour of duty, Godecke was a little apprehensive about flying the mercy mission.

To ensure their safety during their mission, the U.S told the Germans, who continued to occupy Holland right up to the end, of their intentions.

“We got a message one day from the operations officer, who was actually my best friend, saying we had another mission to fly. I told him ‘I thought we were done over here.’

He said this was something different,” Godecke recalled. “I was told we had sent word to the Germans about our food drops down to the day and the time, and were just waiting for a reply from them to get started. Next thing I heard, the mission was set for a 3 a.m. briefing. There I was told I would fly from (England) to The Hague at 500 feet. There would be markers on the landscape of where to drop. I was excited and asked, ‘Great, you heard from the Germans.’ My friend told me, ‘No.’”

Godecke lead two wingmen along the coast of The Hague and was the guinea pig, checking to see if the Germans would fire on them.

Although the British Air Force had been delivering aid in a similar fashion in a mission called Operation Manna the week before, Godecke was still apprehensive of the U.S. version, which would include more than 70 planes.

“I was told to fly the course, and if I didn’t get shot down, I was to go out of The Hague and follow in at the tail end of the operation,” Godecke said. “I remember there was a pit right by the coast full of Germans and their guns. We were so close we could see them laugh. We were looking at the barrel-end of those things. I think I held my breath the whole time. It was a great relief when they let us go by.”

Den Heyer, who was about 7 years old at the time of the food drop, remembered watching the planes fly over his home.

“They flew so low we could see their faces,” Den Heyer said. “We could hear them all the time. You wouldn’t believe how Holland was thankful to the U.S. We saw their planes and knew we were safe.”

Like most Dutch at the time of the German invasion, Den Heyer was separated from his mother and two sisters to live with a family elsewhere in the country for his protection.

“We had a good-sized yard and grew all kinds of vegetables and potatoes,” he said. “We had to share everything, though, and at that time I knew if I went down in the cellar where we

“I was very glad to do that after dropping nothing but bombs for years” kept everything, I had to whistle so I wouldn’t be accused of stealing.”

While only a single bag of aid containing coffee, chocolate and beans dropped near Den Heyer’s home, he recalled the relief it brought his neighborhood.

“I remember the day my ‘aunt’ found something in the backyard,” he said. “We only found one thing but we were very happy and proud to have found it. We were hungry like everyone else, but not to the point that we were going to starve like some of our neighbors…it’s not every day that something falls in your backyard.”

The bag that landed in Den Heyer’s backyard stayed in one piece, however, not all of them did.

Godecke remembered watching the Dutch scramble to pick up the contents of the ruptured sacks.

“As we came by, we saw people grabbing the bags and scooping up all the coffee or chocolate off the ground. They didn’t leave anything on the ground. It was apparent they were hungry and desperate.” Godecke said. “They would always stop and wave as we went over again.”

Every rank of the Air Force flew during the food drops, Godecke said.

Over a week nearly 11,000 tons of food were delivered.

“Everyone wanted to go on these missions,” Godecke said.

“We had all the help we needed. We had brigadier generals flying during the food drops.”

In 1990, 45 years after flying his last mission, Godecke and 140 other men who dropped aid in Operation Chowhound were invited back to Holland as guests of honor.

For 10 days Godecke and his comrades were shown the countryside and fed local cuisine, but Godecke remembers the trip being an emotional one.

“People turned out to stand by the side of the road,” he said. “All they wanted to do was try to touch us. I usually just kept walking, but I finally gave in and stopped and talked to a lady with a baby that kept tugging at my sleeve. She said ‘This is my grandchild and without you having brought food to my daughter who was very ill, they wouldn’t have survived.’ She was crying great big tears. Soon I was crying great big tears.”

“I hope we never forget what these men did,” Den Heyer said. “Everybody should learn to have sympathy for those in need, just like the U.S. did for Holland.” ■

A century since Carson Valley the

fought

Great War

T

he United States declared war on Germany on April 6, 1917, after the sinking of several merchant ships by German submarines.

That very day, The Record-Courier carried the text of the resolution declaring a state of war existed with Germany.

It would be nearly six weeks before the war made front page news again, when the governor’s office issued a decree that all men between the ages of 21 and 30 register for the draft.

While the country started out with a small army, the Selective Service Act, signed into law on May 19, 1917, established a draft that brought 2.8 million men into service.

Registration in Douglas County started June 5, 1917, with clerks at four precinct locations, Cook & Holtman’s Ranch for the Jacks Valley precinct, Raycraft Hall in Genoa, Russel’s Hall in Mottsville and Valhalla Hall in East Fork.

Failure to register for the draft was a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail.

The Record-Courier listed the names of 237 Douglas men and 38 from Alpine, who signed up for the draft in its June 8 edition. According to an official report published the next week, 320 men registered in Douglas, of whom 75 were noncitizens and 18 were enemy aliens.

Registration for the draft began on May 25, 1917, and lists of men called were published in The R-C, with 38 initially notified on July 27 that they would be examined for the Army.

The quota for Douglas County in that first draft was 19 men. If the first in line didn’t meet that, more would be called.

The list was topped by Joe Mack, Arnold Juchtzer, George Dutchy, Peter Ansorena and Nels A. Nelson.

Mack and Dutchy were Washoe, and the top two names on the list of those qualified for service, according to The R-C’s Aug. 17, 1917, edition.

However, the government didn’t recognize the Washoe as citizens of the United States, and therefore asked that Mack and Dutchy be replaced on the list. Another Washoe, Sam Low, who qualified for the draft, appealed his rejection.

On Sept. 21, when the second batch of men left for war, both Mack and Dutchy were listed among the draftees.

Even as the names of the draftees were being determined, George Ferris Dangberg and John Brown, both of whom were at the bottom of the draft, enlisted in the Marine Corps and left for San Francisco in early August.

“They expect to be among the first to go to the front.”

Fred Jesperson and Joe Anderson also didn’t wait to be drafted, enlisting in Reno on Aug. 9, 1917.

STORY BY KURT HILDEBRAND

A GUIDE TO LIVING HERE

The first draftees left for training on Sept. 6, 1917, sent off by hundreds of Douglas County well-wishers. Clarence Anderson and Edward Granata were presented with engraved watches as gifts from the county. As the train left, the Gardnerville Band played “The Star-Spangled Banner,” and the crowd gave them three cheers.

Of 13 Douglas residents serving in uniform in September 1917, all were still engaged in training in the United States.

In September, Hans Jensen, Henry Cagliari, Jens P. Fischer, A. Fabbri, Mack and Dutchy left for the service.

By April 1918, Dutchy was serving with the U.S. Army in France, one of the first Nevada Indians to see service. Mack also served during the war.

In October, as departures of draftees became a weekly event, one of the first conscientious objectors, Donald Dwayne Everett, sought exemption from the draft for religious reasons.

Everett said he was willing to serve in a noncombatant role, but he was turned over to military authorities and imprisoned in Alcatraz.

The first combat casualty of the war was also the first person reported called to duty from Carson Valley.

Dr. William Howell practiced medicine in Carson Valley for a little over a year before receiving his commission in the U.S. Medical Corps as a first lieutenant on June 26, 1917.

Howell was wounded in France, it was reported Feb. 15, 1918.

On Nov. 23, 1917, Minden attorney George Springmeyer, who had been prominent in the effort getting the county seat moved to Minden, announced he was volunteering. Residents John Brown and George Dangberg were already in Europe serving.

By August 1918, Capt. Springmeyer was one of 102 Douglas County men in uniform.

John J. Terzi, an early draftee, was the first death attributed to the war. He died of pneumonia while undergoing training at Camp Kearney, Calif., according to a Jan. 4, 1918, obituary published in The R-C.

Terzi, who worked ranches in Douglas, actually signed up in Washoe County. Born in Switzerland, Terzi didn’t have to fight. He didn’t have any family in Douglas, but his memorial

service was attended by Nevada’s governor.

The last few months of the war were the hardest on Douglas soldiers.

October saw the death of three Carson Valley residents.

Earl Franklin Jepsen was killed on Oct. 4, 1918, while on patrol duty as a runner to battalion headquarters.

Carmelo Bloisi, who served with Company A. 361st infantry, 91st division, was killed on the battlefield Oct. 8.

1918.

The last Douglas County death was on Oct. 17, 1918, when Clarence Frevert died of the flu at Fort Riley, Kan.

Two of the county’s four deaths were due to the Great Influenza epidemic that struck as the war was ending.

The news that World War I ended arrived in Carson Valley at 8 a.m. Nov. 11, 1918.

According to R-C Editor Bert Selkirk, Station Agent H.A. Meder received a flash over the telegraph wire that Germany had signed the armistice and fighting would cease at 11 a.m.

“He telephoned the news to many in this community, and while many were afraid that the news was too good to be true, a few hours later, when President Woodrow Wilson announced the signing of the armistice the word was passed from mouth to mouth and the telephone wires carried the news to practically every home in the Valley.”

The news was at the top of the page along with a letter from Genoa doughboy Carl Syll, who was serving in France with the 91st Division.

Among those troops who served in the Great War were 126 Douglas County men, whose names are preserved on a plaque right of the entrance of the Douglas County Courthouse.

At the top it says Honor Roll, “This tablet is erected by the citizens of Douglas County in honor of,” and is followed by 126 names in 42 rows of three, and the words “The men who served in the World War from Douglas County 1917-18.”

That plaque was dedicated June 10, 1922, and was the first memorial erected in the state to those soldiers who fought in World War I, according to Bert Selkirk at the time.

No public funds were used to pay for the memorial, whose date was the 12th anniversary of the original Carson Valley Day. ■

For at least 29 years of record-keeping, more than 7,000 families have enjoyed the magic of Christmas thanks to Project Santa Claus, according to Gary Dove, Kiwanis Club of Carson Valley member and Project Santa Claus Chairman.

Project Santa served 244 families and 618 children in 2016, said Dove at the Project Santa thank-you breakfast Jan. 12.

“A number to be proud of this year is zero. Zero families were left behind,” he added. “To the best of my knowledge that has never happened.”

Project Santa is a holiday charity project that provides gifts to those in need around the community. Children up to 17 years of age are qualified for the program by Douglas County Social Services, Washoe Tribe Social Services, Court-Appointed Special Advocates or the Family Support Council.

Cheryl Sotelo of Crystal Angels wrapped over 650 presents for 66 kids from Project Santa Claus.

They grossed over $11,000 at their annual Christmas Tree Gala.

Every child receives at least two gifts valued at about $30 each and a new book. Children ages 5 and younger also receive a hat and mittens.

It’s more than that though, said Larry Offenstein of the General Improvement District for Topaz Ranch Estates and a member of the Kiwanis Club of Carson Valley.

“What Project Santa does is pull the community together and allows everyone to give and help one another,” added Offenstein.

Offenstein went on to share a story about a Topaz Ranch Estates family in need.

He said he received a phone call from the TRE Fire Department about a family who had a child with cancer and had limited time and ability to celebrate the holiday.

The service clubs involved in Project Santa are the Carson Valley Lions Club, the Rotary Club of Minden, Kiwanis Club of Carson Valley, Carson Valley Sertoma Club and the Carson Valley Active 20-30 No. 85 Club.

“It really is inspiring to see five clubs come together and do something.” said Dove.

Dove said there were a total of 189 volunteers who put in 2,400 hours to help with the project.

The China Springs Youth Camp, which helps mid-level offenders ages 12-18, volunteered to repair bikes for the project. The Kiwanis Club of Carson Valley has a yearlong program with the camp.

“I can’t thank the Kiwanis enough for giving the guys at China Springs this amazing experience,” said Keegan Bryce, an 18-year-old at the camp. “Thank you for showing me the goodness of helping my community have the greatest Christmas possible, it has been greatly cherished and appreciated.”

“It’ always rewarding to hear them have a great experience with the project,” added Dove. “All of us need to help one another and we need to recognize that we are all in this together as a community.”

Dove said Project Santa Claus is going to become the platform that pulls the community closer.

“Project Santa has become a year long endeavor and some of us can’t put it away,” said Dove. “It’s really a community project and a group involvement.”

“Because of the commitment in this, we are going to start having cordial meetings with service clubs,” Dove added. “Our hope is to have the communication start more development and involvement throughout the community.”

T

he use of horses in therapy and leadership programs has gained prominence throughout the country.

These programs have proven to be highly successful with both adults and children struggling with physical, social, and emotional conditions. The towns of Minden and Gardnerville have two such programs — Kids and Horses and Between Horses and Humans. Although the two programs differ from each other, their results are strikingly similar.

Susan Baumruck (on horse) is led around the outside therapy grounds by Phyllis Martin, Terri and Megan Crandall and therapist Erin Vaillancourt.

Between Horses and Humans

Barbara Slade, president of Between Horses and Humans and a lifelong equestrian, relates that horses shaped her life and built her character and career. Learning the myriad of personal, social and emotional problems that plague children in the community, she wanted to utilize horses in aiding these children to learn life-coping skills. “We are not therapists,” she points out. “We are a leadership program run by lifelong horse people.”

The goal of this leadership program is to develop and bolster self-love, self-worth, self-esteem, and self-confidence in the children. The program hosts six week private courses, leadership courses, workshops and seminars partnering children and horses. “We use a variety of methodologies and activities,” says Barbara, “depending on the children, but everyone learns and engages in ground exercises, equine body work, and basic riding.”

The constant interaction with horses allows the children to learn to bond and trust the horses, problem-solve issues as they arise, and communicate, collaborate and cooperate with other children and adults. Thereby, “horse handling translates to life skills.”

Approximately 400-500 children have experienced this leadership program. Ages have ranged from 8-26. Many of them suffered from problems ranging from depression, suicide, loss of loved one, bullied or bullies, alcoholic parents, etc.

The impact on the children has been tremendous. Barbara recounts how the program has not only allowed the children to open up without being judged, but has bestowed skills in coping, trusting others and themselves, and also creating friendships among their peers. “Horses and riding affected all aspects of my life. It has taught me how to be patient,

“We are not therapists, we are a leadership program run by lifelong horse people.” understanding, courageous, and honest,” said Elaine of her experience. Max, 12, said, “Working with horses helped me learn not to be so hard on myself.” And finally, James, 14, said, “Working with horses gave me more knowledge about how to communicate with people.”

Since the leadership program is free for all children, the program heavily relies on donations. Barbara extols how the community and local social services “have stepped up and supported us.” With six instructors, nine horses, and a rotation of volunteers, Barbara admits that without the generosity of donors and community, this program would not exist at all.

Kids and Horses

Kids & Horses offers equine therapy programs for people with disabilities. Doug Brimm, CEO and chair, says they recognized the need for this form of therapy locally.

Kids & Horses is an accredited PATH Intl program that currently offers three services to children and adults with disabilities — adaptive riding, physical therapy and occupational therapy. Adaptive therapy consists of 30-minute riding lesson tailored to students with special needs Physical therapy targets skills such as balance, strength and coordination. Sessions incorporate hippotherapy (equine movement) and gym-based therapy. Finally, occupational therapy focuses treatments on fine motor, gross motor and/ or sensory integration skills. All therapists are certified and licensed in their respective fields.

Kids & Horses provides weekly 60-minute sessions split into 30-minute segments of riding and traditional treatments in the gym. Each client works with their own certified instructor/therapist and two volunteers (sidewalkers) in order to ensure safety of the clients on horses.

The dependence on volunteers is evident for the seamless operation and maintenance of this program boasting 10 trained horses and serving 72 clients. With an increased pool of 142 volunteers, Doug emphasizes that “volunteers are the

backbone of this program”.

Amy Schelert, a licensed occupational therapist, explains that the success of utilizing hippotherapy as a treatment strategy relies on the similarity in the movement of the horse and human. “The pelvis of a human moves back and forth, side to side, and round and round. So does the pelvis of a horse. When a person rides on the back of a horse, their body experiences a similar motion to walking. This movement challenges core strength, balance, flexibility, and provides sensory input.”

The impact of the equine movement on their clients is palpable. Samuel Brady, 11, has intractable epilepsy (Dravet Syndrome). Since his involvement with his therapy, Sam displays improved core strength, balance, coordination and increased participation in everyday activities. Amy further elaborates that “hopefully he can use the social skills he learns here in his schools.”

Sam’s mom, Stacie Brady, said, “Sam’s condition often leaves him disconnected from life as he is physically and mentally unable to participate. Kids & Horses connects him to the world.”

Erin Vaillancourt, who has a doctorate in physical therapy and a hippotherapy clinical specialist, shares similar stories of the impact the therapy has had on her clients. For example,

“Everyone learns and engages in ground exercises, equine body work, and basic riding.” client Susan Baumruck experienced a nontraumatic brain injury which resulted in stroke-like symptoms. Susan’s goals in engaging with this therapy are related to improving her independence and safety with mobility.

According to Erin, “She has experienced significant improvements in gait. She is able to walk without her cane for short distances with little assistance.”

Susan remarks, “My legs are getting much stronger, and I am getting better at walking. My doctor said to be prepared to drive in the next six months. I am also totally independent now in taking a shower by myself.”

Due to the nature of the business, Doug Brimm emphasizes “the generosity of a very strong donor base from Incline Village” for the sustenance of this program.

Additionally, he noted that “there is a good solid need for scholarships and assistance. We try to offer scholarships to people as a family affair.”In lieu of money, families can volunteer their time in the program. In the end, he said that the program “is for the community and the community participates in a very credible way.” ■
