AIR CONDITIONING & HEATING - INSULATION
Save $$$ By Having Your Home Energy Tested! 94 Years of Service! McMurray & Sons has been providing quality materials and workmanship to the housing industry for over 94 years. David W. McMurray carries on the family tradition as President and owner of the corporation. Having grown up in the business, with a father/boss that understood the value of hard work and quality workmanship, the company retains those same values today. Initially focused on residential roofing, McMurray & Sons began installing commercial/industrial roofing in the early 60’s. In 2012, McMurray & Sons, Inc. acquired Gills Indoor Air Quality and once again expanded their services. Today, in addition to roofing, they also offer insulation, weatherization, heating, ventilation and air conditioning services to the Rogue River Valley. McMurray & Sons offers free home energy evaluations. These evaluations identify: * Increased energy consumption due to air leakage * Moisture/condensation problems * Solutions to uncomfortable drafts caused by cold air leaking in from the outdoors * Contamination of home air quality from indoor air pollution The Blower Door Test This test identifies air leakage in doorways. A “blower door” is fitted into one of your doorways & turned on to negatively pressurize your home. The “blower door” measures the leakage around your doors, windows, vents & air ducts (measured in cubic feet of air leak- age per minute or CFM50). 4
Once the trouble spots are identified, the leaks are repaired, leaving you with a more cost efficient home. Through McMurray’s partnership with Energy Trust of Oregon, they can pro- vide cash incentives that help for the cost of your Blower Door Test.
incentives that can help cover the costs of these services. Sealing ductwork If your ductwork needs sealing, we seal the leaks and conduct a second duct leakage test to determine the reduction. Electric-heated mobile homes: Energy Trust of Oregon will cover the entire cost! Framed homes: Some incentives are available. Air sealing Sealing the shell of your home — walls, doors, ceiling, windows and floors from air leaks is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to increase comfort and energy efficiency. Sealing air leaks reduces drafts, controls moisture, keeps out pollutants and improves overall comfort. Many air leaks and drafts are easy to find because they are easy to feel, like those around doors and windows.
Certified technicians will also conduct a duct leakage test to determine the amount of air leaking from your ductwork. After the duct leakage test Once your home has been tested, it’s time for McMurray & Sons to fix the energy leaks and increase the energy efficiency of your home. They will help identify tax rebates & energy

Insulation Properly insulating your floors, walls and attic keeps you comfortable throughout the year, reduces your heating and cooling costs, reduces outside noise, and saves you energy. Before beginning an insulation project, have McMurray & Sons perform an air leakage test and seal any air leaks in your home to maximize the performance of your insulation.

Your Locally Owned and Operated Source for Major Appliances and Home Theater Systems John, Brenda and Joe originally formed their business, Home of the Future Appliance and Television about 30 years ago offering top quality repair service and maintenance for most major appliances and televisions for their surrounding communities. Through the years because of their service offerings they’ve have had a unique opportunity to see what brands in the appliance and consumer electronics arenas were more trouble free than others. That is why when they decided to expand and open up their new and beautiful retail showroom, it was clear as to which national brands to showcase and which ones to not offer. On the appliance end of things, the primary emphasis is on the very popular LG and Samsung brands as well as the less well known names of Blomberg and Haier. In the television and surround system arenas, they chose to focus and offer the LG and Samsung 6
names alone. All of these brands in their experience offered reliable and user friendly performance at very competitive price points. When they began this journey of planning and setting up their storefront in the Medford Shopping Plaza, they contacted various suppliers
and buying groups and analyzed the benefits and drawbacks of all these options. In the end, they decided that the Mega Group USA supply chain
WelcomePagesUSA | Vol 4 Issue 12 | Rogue Valley, Oregon
offered the best advantages so that the new Home of the Future could be a locally owned and operated business with all of the strengths and price advantages of the national “big box” retail outlets across the country. They felt that this combination of personalized service and knowhow and national buying strength offered the best buying experience for every customer of this type of purchase. Their philosophy is to offer the most competitive prices on the best and most reliable products backed with the local ability to maintain, service and repair those products if needed years down the road. Our recommendation to you as a new resident of the beautiful Rogue Valley is to go down and pay these folks a visit and let them know what your needs are as you set about turning your house or apartment into a home. You’ll be glad that you did.
AUTO REPAIR & MAINTENANCE
High-Mileage Cars: Is 200,000 The New Normal? In the 1960s and 1970s, many automobile odometers did not even read beyond 99,999 miles. Hit 100,000, and the odometer turned back to zero. But now, thanks to tougher quality standards and post-recession financial concerns, Americans are driving their cars longer than ever before and high-mileage cars are the rule, not the exception. Is 200,000 miles the new 100,000 miles? Consider Porsche salesman Mark Webber. While selling new sports cars every day for a living, Webber still drives his 1990 Volvo to work, despite having more than 300,000 miles on the car. “I just can’t see the point of spending a lot of money driving a newer, racier car every day in city traffic when my old Volvo just wants to keep on going,” Webber told the New York Times. Webber has plenty of company. While Americans once prided themselves on driving the latest and greatest car, a shift in spending habits following the recession has more Americans than ever before working to extend the life of their cars. A recent survey by the automotive research firm R.L. Polk & Co found that the typical car buyer keeps a new vehicle for 71.4 months, an increase of nearly 18 months since 2006. This shift corresponds with a change in Americans’ attitudes toward automobiles. Cars, once synonymous with an individual’s identity, are no longer as important to today’s millennial generation. David Champion, the senior director of Consumer Reports, says that in the past, “[People] would sell the car at 60,000 miles to get some residual val8
ue out of it. Nowadays, 100,000 miles is only halfway through the life of the car.” In fact, used car prices are rising as recession-savvy buyers look to keep spending down while getting the biggest bang for their buck.
The life expectancy of cars has steadily increased since the 1970s. A generation ago, many parts simply fell off a car at the end of their life cycle. Cars produced in the 1960s and 1970s were also more susceptible to rust and corrosion, so engines and transmission simply stopped working by 100,000 miles. Now, thanks to greater quality control and technology advancements, today’s automobiles meet strict requirements for anticorrosion standards. Gas mileage for cars is also an important factor — as mileage increases, it’s difficult to justify a new purchase. And carmakers intend their cars to say on the road for a long time. For example, Hyundai and Kia now include 100,000 miles/10 year powertrain warranties with their cars.
WelcomePagesUSA | Vol 4 Issue 12 | Rogue Valley, Oregon
Is your car approaching 100,000 miles and you hope to double that? These three common sense tips will help keep your car on the road well past the 100,000-mile mark. Drive gently. Aggressive driving, hard stops and starts, and rapid accelerating or decelerating not only hurt your fuel economy, but these rough driving also adds unnecessary wear and tear to your car. Think about your morning commute: do you race to every stoplight, weaving in and out of traffic? Curbing your need for speed can help keep your car running longer. Keep it clean. A good wash will not only help high mileage cars sparkle, but it will also remove excess road tar and salt. This is especially important during winter months when salt residue from wintery roads can cause undercarriage corrosion. Regular waxing protects the paint job and resists rust. Don’t ignore check engine lights. Many drivers, myself included, enter a guilty state of denial when our check engine light turns on. Weeks turn into months, and the check engine light is still shining. If you have an older car, it’s essential to get the light checked out right away. It may be indicative of a serious problem with the transmission, timing belt or engine. Prompt attention can save your car from serious damage – and save you the headache and expense of having your car towed to the mechanic. Call Pro Service Center in order to keep your vehicle well maintained.

BLINDS & WINDOW TREATMENTS
Draperies ‘N’ Things - Hunter Douglas Gallery As you walk though the doors at Draperies and Things you immediately enter a professionally decorated showroom. To be more precise, what you are experiencing is a Hunter Douglas Gallery, just one of six showrooms located in Oregon. The selection of window coverings, styles and colors can be overwhelming to many of us, at least until you talk with owners, Craig & Merry Reeves. Established in 1981, Draperies and Things is a full service Hunter Douglas Design and Service Center. The choice to partner with Hunter Douglas was an easy one for Craig and Merry. Not only is Hunter Douglas the oldest manufacture of window coverings (founded in 1919, Window Coverings since 1947), they also have a selection and a limited lifetime warranty which can not be matched. They even have a program called the “Right Choice Promise”. This is where you have 21 days to experience their products in your home or business, and, if for any reason you are unhappy, they will replace them and start over! For those of us who are not sure what will look best, free design consulting is available to all their customers. You will not feel pressured or uncomfortable working with Craig and Merry. “We work on our clients time frame,” says Craig. “We come to their home or office, consider what they want to ac-
complish, find out what their likes and dislikes are when it comes to design. We then make recommendations and give them plenty of time to consider which way to go. As an authorized Hunter Douglas Gallery, Craig and Merry can repair any damaged Hunter Douglas blinds
or other name brands regardless of how old they are or where they were originally purchased. They also provide maintenance for your blinds which can include removal, cleaning, adjusting and reinstallation. Blinds and window coverings play many important roles in a living or office setting. First, they can provide beauty, continuity and style. Secondly, but just as important, is the control of the environment and how it interacts with the outside weather. Almost 50% of a home’s energy is lost through its
10 WelcomePagesUSA | Vol 4 Issue 12 | Rogue Valley, Oregon
windows. Hunter Douglas’ innovative, energy-efficient window covering products can significantly reduce this energy loss, save on heating and cooling costs and contribute to protecting the environment. And when it comes to privacy, you choose from styles which can completely block out light to other styles which can diminish harmful sun rays while still being able to see through them. On the safety side of things, do you still have smaller children in your home or do they visit? With Hunter Douglas, you don’t need to worry. From cordless manual and motorized operating systems, retractable lift cords, cord tensioners and wand controls, they offer a wide array of innovative lifting system options for enhanced child and pet safety as well as especially easy operation. Craig and Merry Reeves have spent the last 31 years serving Jackson County area residents. Their work can be seen in thousands of homes and offices not just in our immediate area, but throughout the entire Northwest. Before you make up your mind where to purchase your next window coverings, you owe it to yourself to see just what your options are. Draperies and Things offer a full variety of products which can match many different budgets. Draperies N Things is conveniently located right off the I-5 Freeway Exit 24 in Phoenix. Open M-F 10 to 5:30, Sat 10-2. Call 541-535-2790.

CREDIT UNION
Become Part of Something Bigger Ever considered a credit union? Ever wondered about what a credit union even is? Credit unions are similar to other financial institutions, in that they insure your funds, and offer most of the same products and services, however credit unions embrace some exciting differences. As opposed to banks, credit unions are nonprofit organizations operated by a volunteer board of directors, elected by its members. So, ultimately, they are not driven by making profits for their shareholders, but by supporting its members and the local community. Why should you consider joining a credit union? Well, not only do they usually offer fewer or reduced fees, and better rates, but more importantly, when you join a credit union you become part of something bigger. You become a member, not a customer, and you play a vital part in the credit union eco-system. This system facilitates turning one member’s deposits into the dream of another. Credit unions build the strength of the local community by supporting local businesses and by giving back through philanthropic donations, sponsorships,
community events and financial education. At Rogue, our members and our local community are our focus and our passion, and we strive to support and enrich life in Southern Oregon. Financial education is one major focus as we support our local community by teaching valuable financial skills through a variety of avenues. Today, elementary schools, high schools and colleges rarely teach these essential personal finance skills because it is no longer a gradu-
ation requirement and they have other areas of focus. Rogue has seen this need and stepped in wholeheartedly. We began by starting Rogue Credit Union student branches at various high schools across Southern Oregon. These student branches provide valuable experience
14 WelcomePagesUSA | Vol 4 Issue 12 | Rogue Valley, Oregon
to its student tellers, while offering a convenient location for students and staff to manage their finances. Rogue presents regularly in our local classrooms and at various community events offering helpful financial tips and imparting personal finance skills that will help establish valuable financial habits. To provide a convenient and comfortable environment for learning financial skills, last year we launched our financial education website at Learn.roguecu.org. This site not only offers hundreds of engaging financiallycharged video lessons, but also offers the opportunity to order classroom materials to teach your own class or to sign up for a financial education presentation at your location. At Rogue, we’re different. We are so much more than an auto loan or a checking account. We are about enriching the lives and supporting the community of our beautiful home of Southern Oregon. I’d invite you to experience the credit union difference, the mission and drive for community impact and service that has driven Rogue now for over 57 years in Southern Oregon.

PLUMBING & DRAIN SERVICE
Take Advantage of Incentives for Heat Pump Water Heaters and Save Up To 50% on Water Heating Costs S.O.S. Plumbing is a familyowned and operated company. We are proud to be a small, independent, local business and believe that being familyowned allows us the opportunity to pay special attention to each of our clients and provide our customers with personalized attention and the best customer service available.

Our team of clean, uniformed, professional plumbers is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and dedicated to locating and solving your problem quickly and effectively. Roy Burris started S.O.S. Plumbing with just a Volkswagen and a drain machine. Due to almost 30 years of excellent service and continued customer satisfaction, we have increased our services, technology, and staff, including a full service excavation crew to meet our customers’ needs. We have many customers who have used our company exclusively since they first called us in the early 1980’s. No job is too big or small and our company believes in following all jobs to completion,
no matter how difficult they are. We will ensure that all your plumbing, sewer, and drain problems are taken care of. In addition to traditional plumbing and drain service needs, we strive to stay up to date with the latest technologies so we can effectively save you money on your monthly energy costs. Ready for a water heater upgrade? Did you know that 20-30 percent of your home’s energy is used to heat water? That’s as much or more energy than you use for your appliances, electronics and lights. Installing a Heat pump water heater is one of the easiest energy-saving improvements a homeowner can make. Heat pump water heaters are the most efficient water heaters available today. Heat pump water heaters are ideal for homeowners looking to… •Replace an old, inefficient electric water heater •Lower household energy consumption The purchase price for heat pump water heaters is higher than the average standard electric water heater, but in return the unit cuts waterheating costs up to 50%. High efficiency electric storage water heaters promise huge energy savings. You can begin planning now for your

next water heater purchase and enjoy all these benefits: Big savings. Heat pump water heaters can save the average household approximately $250 per year on its electric bills compared to a standard electric water heater. Larger families — that typically use more hot water — will save even more! A smart investment. Heat pump water heaters have higher initial costs than conventional storage water heaters. However, they have lower operating costs, being 2-3 times more efficient than conventional water heaters, which can offset their higher purchase and installation prices. To help offset the initial cost, incentives on qualifying heat pump water heaters up to $1337.00 are available (depending on model). A purchase that protects the environment. If everyone buying an electric water heater this year chose a heat pump water heater model instead of a standard model, we would avoid 19.6 billion pounds of carbon dioxide emissions. That’s the equivalent of taking 1.6 million cars off the road. How it works. To move the heat, heat pumps work like a refrigerator in reverse. While a refrigerator pulls heat from inside a box and dumps it into the surrounding room, a stand-alone air-source heat pump water heater pulls heat from the surrounding air and dumps it—at a higher temperature—into a tank to heat water.

SEWING MACHINES & VACUUM CLEANERS
Five Generations Serving the Rogue Valley At first glance, Valley Sewing & Vacuum appears to simply be a very well stocked and attractive storefront in which a person can find pretty much anything that has to do with their namesake. In addition to a full array of the latest sewing machines, they also carry high-tech specialized machines designed for embroidery and quilting hobbyists. The walls are filled with displays of embroidery designs, a full selection of threads and just about anything one could need for their sewing projects. This store also devotes a large percentage of their floor space in order to display the best lines of vacuum cleaners of all types. Valley Sewing & Vacuum is actually a subsidiary of Joya Distributing Inc. and this company which is owned and operated by Dorothy Smith and her son, Terry is a consortium of a five ecommerce websites such as Sylviadesign.com, LaurastarUS.com and their newest site ShopJoya.com and the retail store here in Medford. Now the interesting part is that this family run enterprise wasn’t always this big and sophisticated. In fact, the history of the company is fascinating in that it all began so very long ago. It all started with Dorothy’s grandfather, William H. Klatt and his wife opening a store on Grape Street called “Sewing Machine Center” in the early 1930’s. Their son, Art Klatt, continued the business and actually had a Singer brand mobile showroom that he would drive up old highway 99 as far as Eugene, Salem and occasionally Seattle in order to continue to grow the business during the Great Depression. Fast
forward to 1961, when Dorothy and her husband expanded into the wholesale market with the Viking Distributing Company from which they serviced retailers for about the next 40 years. Fast forward again to 2004, when the family purchased the local Viking dealership and renamed it Valley Sewing & Vacuum. During the last 10 years, the company then added the capacity to sell their continually expanding line of products over the Internet and now have five websites that operate along with their brick and mortar store on Market Street. Dorothy states for the record, “We are proud to call Medford our home.”

Wine Tasting and Touring in the Rogue Valley Region Is a Great Bunch of Fun and a Delicious Education! Southern Oregon, or more specifically the Rogue Valley and Applegate Valley offers a unique opportunity to taste and experience locally grown grape varietals and blended wines that compete with any other famous winemaking region of the world. This area is unique in that it has the ideal characteristics for growing a large variety of quality grapes within a small region. The Rogue Valley’s American Viticultural Area (AVA) is comprised of three distinct river valleys, each with slightly different grape cultivating characteristics. The warmest and driest of the three valleys in the Rogue region -- Bear Creek Valley runs parallel with the I-5 corridor. Its climate is similar to France’s Bordeaux region and is well suited for growing highly prized grape varieties including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Malbec and Syrah. Not to be outdone, the Applegate
Valley, which is south of Grants Pass and east of Bear Creek Valley, beautifully stretches out along the path of the Applegate River, the valley’s more moderate climate is generally drier and warmer than the Illinois Valley to its west, yet not as warm and dry as Bear Creek Valley to the east. Its vineyards are planted to Bordelaise varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Chardonnay and Zinfandel. To the west of the Applegate Valley Appellation, and still within the Rogue Valley Appellation, the Illinois Valley is furthest of the three valleys from the primary population areas. High elevation and a marine influence, spilling over the coastal mountains to the west, are major elements of this valley’s distinct terrain. These influences make the Illinois Valley’s microclimate suitable for growing highquality Burgundian varieties such as Pinot Noir, Gewürztraminer, Riesling,
36 WelcomePagesUSA | Vol 4 Issue 12 | Rogue Valley, Oregon
Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, early Muscat and Gamay Noir. So whether you are well schooled at wine appreciation or not, planning a few days of wine touring is a “must do” activity now that you are living in this beautifully located region. Of course, we recommend that the best way to take in the various wineries worry-free is to plan to pack a nice picnic, invite some new friends or visiting family, and go explore! With all of the wineries to choose from, and more tasting rooms opening every year, it is simply impossible to take them all in during a single day. Wine making is an art as well as a skill, so be patient with yourself and allow the time to savor the uniquely wonderful characteristics of each winery and their signature offerings. The summer and autumn seasons are just perfect for enjoying the scenery but most wineries stay open year round just in case you miss a few.
