BLINDS & WINDOW COVERINGS

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 located in Oregon. The selection of window coverings, styles and colors can almost be overwhelming, 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 ac4

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

WelcomePagesUSA | Rogue Valley, Oregon | Issue 1 2012

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.

JEWELER need to visit us at Gold&Gems:

Ron Hansen Gold&Gems Fine Jewelry

Welcome to Southern Oregon... Let me share with you three reasons why you’ll want to visit us! Are you new to the area? One of the most frustrating things to overcome in a new environment is realizing you are temporarily out of your comfort zone. You need to establish new relationships with everyone from your Dentist to where you do your grocery shopping. When it comes to purchasing fine jewelry, most of us would obtain a referral from a friend or relative. This “word of mouth” referral base is how we built Gold & Gems over the past three decades. Just recently, we expanded from our Ashland store to a second location in Medford. The greeting we received in Medford has been wonderful. This is a family company headed by Richard Hansen (affectionately known by friends and family as “King Richard”). The Hansen’s employ a friendly, highly trained

team of jewelry professionals. Our team consists of Gemologists, Designers, Model makers, Goldsmiths, Platinumsmiths, Stonesetters and Customer Service Representatives all devoted to delivering

Reason #1`:Pricing Policy: It is widely known that jewelry pieces are inflated, then discounted in order to “appear” like a low price. Our clients have become believers in the value that we offer.

RETIREMENT COMMUNITY

Yesterdays Dream, Today’s Reality Our dream was to create a community in which our retired parents would not only live, but thrive. When we think now of all the lives we’ve touched by creating Mountain Meadows, it’s hard to hold back the pride. Mountain Meadows is located on a former pasture which overlooks the town of Ashland. Just to the east, it’s still farm land. It’s surrounded by the Cascade and Siskiyou mountain ranges which meet in Southern Oregon as if they were holding this valley with gentle arms. Ashland is a small but vibrant college town and a renowned arts community. The nearby medical services are among the states best. The dream that became Mountain Meadows required meticulous planning, not only in the excellent design and craftsmanship, but how it functions for the residents themselves. If the number of national and regional awards is any indication, 16

Mountain Meadows well may be the model for many retirement communities in the years to come. Mountain Meadows is an elegant mix of single family homes, cottages and condomin-

iums, supported with communitywide facilities such as a park, gardens, and an clubhouse with a library, theatre, fitness center and private dining. Support services are always available, whenever they’re needed. The 30 acre community is governed by the residents themselves, as

WelcomePagesUSA | Rogue Valley, Oregon | Issue 1 2012

a non-profit. Most everyone elects to purchase their homes from the variety of sizes and prices, since home ownership does allow equity accumulation for the home buyers. Homes may also be leased or rented. Depending on availability, this gives potential community members many options. If your dream is one of harmony, comfort and beauty, we invite you to share ours. It’s ready for you now.

VACATION - LODGING - RESTAURANT

Callahan’s Mountain Lodge From earliest times the major obstacle to travel between the Rogue Valley of southern Oregon and Shasta Valley of northern California has been the ridge of mountains called the “Siskiyous.” The name comes from the Indian word for “broom tailed horse.” Legend has it that the first white man the Indians met in this area was riding a horse with its tail cut off square like a broom. The white man asked the Indians for the name of the Mountains, but misunderstood their reply. He thought they were naming the mountains when actually they were talking about his horse’s tail. The name “Siskiyou” endured. The lowest and shortest passage over these mountains is a few miles west of a 1,000-foot tall rock pillar protruding above the mid point of the ridge. Known as “Pilot Rock,” this landmark aided Indians and immigrants, as well as today’s travelers, to locate the best place to cross the mountains. The discovery of gold in both Rogue and Shasta valleys in the 1840’s and 50’s brought more 34

people over this crossing and soon there was a community known as the village of “Siskiyou.” The peak growth of this village occurred during the construction of Railroad Line 3 over the mountains in 1887. A train tunnel, dug near the summit beginning at the southeast corner of the village, will be forever famous as the site of the last great train robbery. Three D’Atremont brothers jumped on the train as it was slowly ascending the steep grade north of the entrance to the tunnel. Four men were killed leading authorities to one of the most extensive manhunts in U.S. history. The brothers were ultimately captured, tried, and sentenced to life in prison. The Siskiyou population began to diminish and finally lost its post office status in 1920. As a young man growing up in the Rogue Valley, Don Callahan dreamed of owning a lodge in the Siskiyou Mountains. Managing a flock of sheep and owning little else, that dream seemed far away.

WelcomePagesUSA | Rogue Valley, Oregon | Issue 1 2012

In 1944 a piece of property midway up the mountain on Highway 99 became available. Don sold the sheep and bought the land. After service in World War II, with the help of friends, a pick and shovel, he chiseled out a building site from the solid rock of the hillside. In 1947 he built a wood and stone building which he named “Callahan’s Siskiyou Lodge.” The dining room, with eight stools and five tables, opened initially catering to local residents who enjoyed the rustic lodge and its alpine setting. Soon interstate travelers began to appreciate the lodge as well. Anyone who ever traveled “Old 99” can still recall that well known spot. Don married Nilde Cervellin, an immigrant from Italy, in 1951. She brought the great Italian dishes to Callahan’s which are still famous today. Soon guests were standing in line! In April 1964, the original Callahan site was condemned for the new Interstate 5 right of way. Not wanting to be out of business, Don bought a larger piece of land a short distance up the highway below the summit of the Siskiyous and reopened in July of 1965. The site is actually a part of the old village of Siskiyou. Callahan’s is known throughout the West as an exceptional place to stop for great food, good drinks and good company. It is now being patronized by the fourth generation of original customers. Few restaurants enjoy such extensive acclaim. Ron Bergquist, who had remodeled Nilde’s kitchen in 1960, and his wife, Donna, purchased Callahan’s on January 2, 1996. Ron brings to the enterprise his extensive experience in developing restaurants and hotels. He was raised in the Rogue Valley. Donna, a native of Texas, brings many years of experience in marketing, promotion and advertising. They believe their combined skills will assure the future success and development of the “Callahan„ tradition.
