The Rogue Valley is a wonderful place to live. Sadly enough though, crime runs through every community and you need to be prepared. Every recession since the late 1950s has been associated with an increase in crime, particulary, property crime and robbery. Statistically, there is a strong relationship between crime, falling wages and higher unemployment rates. Now more than ever, it’s time to use your alarm system every time you leave your home or business. If you don’t have an alarm system, now is the time to protect yourself. With the new security technology that is available, it has never been more affordable to protect the ones you care about. Keep in mind, burglars purposely avoid homes which are set up with security systems. Find out how easy it is to protect your home or business by calling SOS Alarm at 541-773-3900.

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 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 ac8
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 | Vol 2 Issue 1
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.

JEWELERY
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 top quality jewelry treasures to our valued customers. Consistently voted #1 jeweler 16
and “favorite business person” in our local community, Richard has built this business on honesty, a high code of ethics, and of course exceptional jewelry and service.
Now for those three reason you need to visit us at Gold&Gems: 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. We have recognized successes by setting our everyday prices lower than the industries standard, and then we back up the purchases with support, free sizing, polishing and all of the service oriented issues that are so important with fine jewelry.
WelcomePagesUSA | Rogue Valley, Oregon | Vol 2 Issue 1
Reason #2:Quality Assurance: Every piece of jewelry that you will find here has been hand-selected by Gold And Gems for its outstanding workmanship and the superior quality of its gems. We have built our reputation on selling only the finest jewelry. Whether you come into our store or shop with us online, you are a Gold And Gems customer, and you can expect only the best in design, quality and service. Reason #3: Extended Warranty: As part of our Quality Assurance to our customers, Gold & Gems automatically includes a one-year extension to the Manufacturer’s Warranty on every product we sell. I encourage you to call us, or email us using our convenient online form if you have questions regarding fine jewelry, gemstones or just any issue surrounding the sometimes confusing worldwideweb. The hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday and the telephone number is 541-2451585 (Medford) or 541-499-2753 (Ashland). The company’s website is www.goldandgems.com.

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 38
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 | Vol 2 Issue 1
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.
