This is Front Street; 6th Ave. is intersecting on the middle left.
by Bill DiMarco When Junction City’s tiny wooden jail was all that stood between the budding community and porcine anarchy. Railroad magnate Ben Holladay provided the impetus for the organization of Junction City in October of 1872. He needed a convenient division point and future junction to service his Oregon & California Railroad which was being built south from Portland and other lines which he envisioned converging here. The new city officials crafted their first ordinances in the very next month of November. The first provided for a wooden sidewalk to be built on the west side of Front Street and extend a bit west on what is now 6th Street. The second ordinance passed into law addressed the deterrence of the practice of wallowing pigs in the street, the regulation of such being apparently a priority for civilized society on this particular frontier. The trustees of the city were not slow to realize that they were founding less than a utopian community, having the realization that provision would need to be made for “community corrections” a mere seven months after incorporation. A contract was awarded by the city to Thomas Humphrey on May 30, 1873 for the construction of a prison which was completed for $84.37. The small wooden building sat behind the original city hall which also housed the fire department on its first floor and sat on 6th and Greenwood on the ground now occupied by the U.S. Bank parking lot. The first guest, according to oft-repeated local tradition, was a gentleman who violated ordinance number two and had thus undermined the livability and dignity of
downtown society. “The marketing of hogs in the early days, before trucks, seems in retrospect almost unbelievable.” according to the autobiography of Arnold Bodtker, born in 1904 to Danish settler parents: “The hogs had to be delivered to the stock yards in Junction City, which were located north of the Southern Pacific depot and east of the railroad tracks, between 8th and 10th Streets. The drive would be along what is now called Dane Lane. The hogs were driven to the yards, which was a slow and tedious job.” The scale upon which farmers relied upon the Junction City railhead is apparent in this excerpt from the Portrait and Biographical Record of the Willamette Valley, Oregon, published in 1903: “Where one inclined to doubt the reliability of glowing stock raising accounts in Lane county, that doubt would be removed by the inspection of the large farm of Gideon C. Millet, one of the most extensive and successful stockmen around Junction City. In 1902 he handled sixteen hundred Poland-China hogs and as many shorthorn cattle.” The advent of automotive technology which was adapted for the purposes of trucking stock to market, not only curtailed the cattle drives which formed the basis for many a Western television epic, but also put an end to the threat to Junction City’s public safety once protected by Ordinance Number Two. The original wooden jail now resides on the grounds of the Pitney House Museum at 289 West 4th, Junction City. Visit the Junction City Historical Society page at www.junctioncity.com

Steve & Carol Girard
“Benton-Lane Winery’s unique location has allowed us to produce sexy, silky Pinot Noir for two decades. Having come from Napa Valley, we recognized this mild southern Willamette location allowed it to produce more graceful, elegant wines from the Pinot family: Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Chardonnay. Unwilling to entrust these wines to a single palate, our wines at Benton-Lane are created by a dedicated team, with each member tasked with developing the full potential of every nuance in the grape. As a result, Benton-Lane wines have been awarded four Top 100 Wines of The World.”
Robin & Danuta Pfeiffer
“When the French tried to buy our chicken ranch and sheep pasture to grow wine grapes, our family knew there was something special about our 70-acres of south facing slopes. Navigating by the North Star for our north-south rows, in the early 80’s we planted one of the first vineyards in Lane County. Our wines are not sold in stores, but are enjoyed by wine club members and tasting room visitors year-round.”
Jim & Wendy McGavin
“After years of working in information technology, we decided it was time to get back to basics. Initially, our plan was to grow and sell grapes but the business of wine is as seductive as the Walnut Ridge pinots we produce! In 2010, Walnut Ridge became partners in long term grape customer, Sass winery and in 2015 opened the Walnut Ridge tasting room where we feature our Sass label wines. Our passion is to share the results of our efforts, the wine, the food and the terroir!”
Chris & (Sheree) Shown
Gene & Lisa Bennett
“Grape growing is not about romance.It’s about getting your hands dirty; it’s about pruning in a gentle snowfall, hand tying vines to a trellis and planting a nourishing cover crop to replenish the land after harvest.It’s a family affair at Brigadoon: Chris is the vineyard manager, wife Sheree, an excellent cook ,is often deferred to for tastings and blends, son Matt is the winemaker, and son Nick tends to the vineyard seasonally. We love what we do-and it shows in our wine!” “Following a long and exciting career in the construction industry, we began our new careers in beautiful Cheshire, Oregon. What we lacked in vineyard and winemaking experience we have more than made up for with enthusiasm, research, advice from our wine expert neighbors and a lot of hard work. Our 20-acre vineyard of pinot noir makes all the effort worthwhile!”
Dieter & Fridah “Dieter was inspired by the landscape of the Elbe River Vineyards and the Boehm romance of the wine villages which he experienced while he attended University HIGH in Dresden, Germany. His dream came true when he landed in the foothills of PASS the Willamette Valley and created High Pass Vineyards in 1985. We produce WINERY estate Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, and select harvest/ice wine. Our tasting room offers a very intimate wine tasting environment (AprilDecember). From the beginning, we refused to get big!” - Fridah Boehm

It’s Gonna be Wet-Prepare for Winter! “Summer was here and gone, Fall is soon spent, Winter is around the corner so it is time to get your car or truck serviced,” says Bill Morrow, owner of Morrow’s Automotive Inc. “Vehicles take a lot of abuse from a variety of sources: from the road, the weather, and the driver. For everyone’s safety’s sake, a thorough biannual check-up is wise. Call me for an appointment-then bring your car in and I will check the hoses, the belts, the brakes, the coolant, the thermostat, the tires, the oil levels & quality and, not to be forgotten, the air conditioner. Few drivers know that a properly running air conditioner will de-humidify the air that comes out of your defroster, thusly making the defrost more effective not only on your windshield, but also making the air drier so that you can be warmer-this is a good thing when it’s damp in Oregon. Second, servicing your air conditioner has an added benefit of maximizing the life of the equipment, saving you big dollars.” ASE Certified. Bill Morrow does complete work on all automotive and light trucks (6.0 L and 7.3 L Diesel operation & service).

quickly learned the game and garnered numerous awards over her high school career. Her dream of playing for the Beavers finally came true last year when she signed with the team as a highly touted five-star recruit. McWilliams saw plenty of playing time in her first year as a Beaver, appearing in all 37 games of the season and making 11 starts. She was awarded Pac-12 All-Freshman Honorable Mention for her performance, which included 60 assists on the season and averaging 3.2 points and 2 rebounds per game. During her prep career McWilliams led her team to three league titles and the Oregon State Championship during her senior year. For her senior year performance on the season, she earned numerous awards, including the Oregon Sports Awards honor for Best Prep Basketball Player, the Oregon Live Girls Basketball Player of the Year and theGatorade Oregon Player of the Year. Because of her awards she was rated the Number 40 player in the nation by ESPN and was a five-star recruit. Though she had several offers, McWilliams chose to attend Oregon State because of its tight knit family atmosphere.
“The thing that drew me to Beaver Nation was the people of Corvallis, the coaching staff and the Beaver community,” McWilliams said. “The team is like a family, and that is a unique dynamic.” Off the court, she likes playing sports, fishing and hiking. She’s also a Beaver football fan and even played tackle football as a fourth-grader, scoring several touchdowns.

What do you do all day? Whatever it is, we are willing to bet you want to end the day as safe and healthy as you began it. If you are a baker, you wear hairnets and oven mitts. If you groom Christmas trees, you wear gloves, glasses and possibly chainsaw chaps. In a mill, you might layer up with a leather apron and heavy gloves. If you run power tools, you appreciate anti-vibe gloves. If you are growing crops and spraying for pests, you don a disposable suit and a respirator. What we do all day at Norwest Safety is match protective gear to working environments so people can do their jobs safely and comfortably, with minimal risk of injury. We sell spray suits, paint suits, chemical suits, rain suits. We have wrist braces for people who do repetitive motion in their work, anti-fatique mats for people who stand long hours, back braces for truck drivers, and gas detection instruments for people who clean tanks in confined spaces. Whatever your job, whatever the season, we have what you need to do it safely.

Monroe is proof that when a community works
together it can surmount all obstacles. An open house was held in the spring of 2013. It took six years of persistence to raise $2.4 million of private money and MAX create a library that is the envy of all small towns. It’s worth a stop to chat with the librarian and find out how useful this community library is.

It won’t start! My C HELPP ompu It has a blue screen! P SOMMERVILLE ter Is PPPPPP STis blinking! The whole screen DEAD !! These are a few of the comments we hear ! when we answer the phone at R Computer Company. There are many more! A computer is a very complex piece of equipment that we have learned we cannot live without. Until it breaks down. Several people have learned we offer a cleanup on a regular basis, and they are relieved to find that most of the things that can go wrong are eliminated with a frequent cleaning of the system. We do this for several businesses and regular customers. Usually the businesses do it on a monthly basis, while customers maybe every 6 months, the choice is up to the customer, and talking with us about their usage. We find this regular cleanup will save a lot of problems in the long run and, the best of it is, we can tap into their computer when they have set up a time, and do it all from the office and just send them a bill for the service, hence they do B and it saves time on our end not have to bring in the computer, so we don’t have to charge as much as a home visit. Give us a call and we can talk to you about what would work for you. And as always, if it really breaks down, we are here to help you with any service you need or a new computer if we find the one you have is totally dead. We do NOT tell you it’s dead without much testing and knowing it is unusable. Pick up that phone and give us a call.

Tree Upkeep Before the Next Storm W
With tree servicesPonds just catching up with damage caused by a rough, wet and windy winter, Brian Jones from A-1 Ron’s Stump & Tree Removal, a family business since 1989, says, “Now is the time to assess your trees so you aren’t doing it during a storm or after a storm when more damage occurs and tree services are busy. “We will inspect your trees and give you a complete assessment. We’ll show you where the danger is before a disaster occurs. This will prevent costly damage from falling trees or tree limbs dropping on cars and houses, 33and34 people. So don’t put off that tree inspection, as the best time 5for an assessment is in the summertime.” 4 3 The tree experts at A-1 prevent future property damage by NHS spotting potential weaknesses that lead to fallen trees and branches. Keeping your trees well maintained with a tree health assessment can increase property value as well. Call A-1 to identify which trees are liabilities and which are assets. “Trees, like humans, suffer from disease and decay and have a life expectancy, so they should be assessed yearly,” Brian says. “You’ll find dangerous trees, healthy trees and unwanted trees. In any case, we’ll give you a free estimate, and if needed, we will provide you with experienced service to clean up and complete the job.” “A-1 has modern equipment for the upkeep of your property. Safety and efficiency was recently improved our acquisition of a 60foot boom truck, which reduces customer costs in some cases, but tree climbers may still be needed. To help with upkeep, discounts for teachers, seniors and military personnel will be honored through October. Call us NOW to inspect. A damaged tree is a dangerous tree!”

that, chairs are what we work on the most at our shop! Here’s some basics about this very common item. FIRE STA. The most important joint on a chair is the seat to back joint. This joint is stressed every2time the chair is pushed4back or leaned on. The higher the chair back, the more stress there will be. To check that joint on your chairs, put your knee on the seat and push on the back. Do you see movement at3that joint? If yes, it’s time to take action! Things to check: 8 T H S T.

Getting The Most Out Of Your Urgent Care Visit by Dr. Desmond Crooks
What to bring (have this handy)
On just about any medical visit, there’s a lot going on and it can seem like a blur. Overriding concerns can make it hard to focus, and you’ll likely do better if you have a few safeguards in place. 1- For instance, if you are able to write a list of all your symptoms before you come in, it can help significantly. It will remind you to give the provider all the information needed to make better decisions. 2- Secondly, even if you have all your medications memorized, it’s added insurance to have your medication list with you. Sometimes drugs can interact, and your provider may make treatment changes based on the medication list you provide. Supplements can be another important thing to have on that list, too. 3- Another important list are the questions you want to ask. Get your concerns addressed! Some people feel a bit uncomfortable asking the provider questions, but your questions can be instrumental in shaping the quality of the visit. Of course, physical relief from your condition is important, and so is addressing the psychological part – What will happen to you, what may the future bring? Let the provider know your concerns. 4- Your medical history is vital to getting the most
56
out of your visit. Having knowledge about your medical history allows the provider to make the diagnosis more accurately and it may save time, too. Most urgent care visits are quick and simple. Complex cases, however, can sometimes depend on many seemingly unimportant details – having a complete medical history is vital for these times.
What to expect near the end of your visit
Typically, a treatment plan will be discussed near the end of your urgent care visit. Go over the plan, asking questions and getting a sense of what you’ll be expected to do. Take notes-it’s the best time to make sure you know what to do when you get home.
Conclusion
☆ Know what you want to get out of the visit. ☆ Have a way to document what you learn during your visit. The answers you get to your questions will be at your fingertips! Some patients may use a notepad or a mobile device to write down the information. Other patients may bring an advocate – someone that can take notes or help go through your list of questions/concerns. This can be so helpful!

Dorris Ranch
Story by Gini Bramlett Photos by Willamalane Park and Rec. District
Put This Family Place On Your Bucket List If you’re a nature enthusiast, a history buff or both,
a visit to Dorris Ranch in Springfield should be on your bucket list. Dorris Ranch in southwest Springfield, part of the Willamalane Park and Recreation District is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. It is a national historic site, a working farm and a public park complete with walking trails and natural areas. The ranch also serves as the western access point of the paved, four-mile-long Middle Fork Path, which runs to Clearwater Park. Dorris Ranch is recognized as the first commercial filbert orchard in the United States. Oregon’s history with filberts started in 1892 when George Dorris and his wife Lulu bought 250 acres of fertile land along the Willamette River and dedicated their lives to farming. After experimenting with a variety of crops, George established the first commercial filbert orchard in the United States. Over the next 50 years the Dorris family planted 9,200 trees at the ranch and harvested more than 50 tons of nuts each year. Now, more than 100 years later, Dorris Ranch continues to make history as a fully-productive commercial filbert orchard. More than half of all the commercial filbert trees now growing in the United States originated from Dorris Ranch nursery stock.
The working ranch contains 11 orchards containing more than 9,000 trees on 75 acres. A local orchardist maintains the orchards. Visitors can step back to 1852 and discover what life was like for the original owners of the ranch, William and Eliza Masterson and their family, and view a replica of their simple 12-foot-by-16-foot log cabin, a blacksmith shop, a freight farm wagon and replicas of a 1830s fur trapper’s cabin and a Native American plank house.
Dorris Ranch is also host to a variety of plants, flowers and birds. Come for a visit and enjoy a walk through this 250-acre historic site and natural area at your own pace on one of the park’s self-guided tours. Brochures with all the interesting facts, historical sites and a map of area paths are available at the entrance kiosk.
Dorris Ranch, 205 Dorris St., is open to the public weekdays and weekends from 6 a.m. till dusk. To get there from downtown Springfield, travel south on South 2nd St. The ranch is at the bottom of the hill.

Western Oregon’s Covered Bridges
Chitwood
On the following four pages you will find: • A map with 51 locations. • Instructions on how to drive to each covered bridge. • Four short loop tours. • The basic concept of bridge engineering.
Crawfordsville Krewson
Facts:
Bridges have been major part of Oregon’s growth from 1850 through the 1900s. Crossing rivers and creeks were a major problem for people and commerce. Ferries were not dependable due to the rise and fall and swiftness of these rivers and creeks. The sooner a bridge could be built, the more consistent the flow of trade. At first, bridges were not covered and the wet environment of the forest caused Joel Whittmore the planks to rot. Covering added years of life. At one time there were approximately 600 covered bridges in Oregon. Due to being replaced by modern steel and concrete, and abandonment or neglect, that number has dwindled to the present 51. For many locals, that raised an alarm. This has resulted in countless volunteer hours and huge dollars to repair, and sometimes move to a more desirable location, those remaining bridges that had fallen into disrepair. If someone claims to have been to ‘every’ covered bridge in Oregon (and its not in this guide) they need to send proof, pictures and location, and we’ll gladly publish it here, upon confirmation. Photo at right - Along your journey you may even find a few uncared for bridges, like the Dahlenburg foot bridge that was built over Ames Creek in 1989. No matter what, the search for covered bridges is fascinating. Every bridge has its own Dahlenburg unique scenery and its own story to tell.

WESTERN OREGON’S COVERED BRIDGES Structure is Everything To make the most out of your covered bridge trek, notice the groupings and plan your day accordingly. Be sure to look for the truss type that supports the bridge you are visiting. There are a few reasons why the Howe truss was most commonly used; primarily it was its simple design strength over long distances coupled with its vertical steel tie-rods that allowed maintenance crews to adjust as needed.
Drift Creek

Oldest is Drift Creek orig. 1914 // the longest is Office at 180’ // the shortest is Lost Creek at 39’ Kingpost Style Construction Queenpost Style Construction #19 #2, #21, #22, #23

Upside-down Howe Construction Earth and Gravel Or Entry Ramp
Bedding Timbers Typical Concrete Footing with Abutment
#36
Cascadia (105’ span) - Sweet Home Cascadia was covered but is now uncovered, its uniqueness is the upside-down Howe.
Each bridge has their own unique history. To get the most out of a covered bridge outing it is suggested by our staff that visitors stop in at the local library, museum and/or chamber of commerce. And, while you are in the town, be sure to check out the downtown business district for food and shopping.

by Kendra Goldberg In Fall 2013, the Rays Grocery store in Pleasant Hill closed, sending the Pleasant Hill market and economic hub into decline.
Pisgah Public Market 35859 Highway 58 Pleasant Hill, OR 97455
66
Despite the property’s bleak outlook, a local couple, Scott and Kellie Chambers saw nothing but potential. Through their community-focused vision, they were able to bring in another grocery store. The Dari Mart company opened their flagship Dari Market, a new anchor business in the renamed Pisgah Public Market. Not content to stop there, Kellie Chambers brought her talents as a NIA instructor to Pisgah Public Market. The market welcomed Just Move Fitness in May 2015. The studio specializes in dance and fitness classes. That business grew quickly and expanded into a full gym with a complete suite of fitness equipment and resources including personal training, and private Pilates instruction. With the addition of• Urgent Care, • private masseuse, • acupuncture, and an • Italian restaurant - the transformation of the economic heart of Pleasant Hill was complete. Pisgah Public Market also includes a Pro-Realty office, Hope Renewed, Sunrise Cafe, Espresso 58, and Kinman Studios. Don’t miss the exciting changes happening in Pleasant Hill!

A word from Westfir Mayor Matt Meske
“If you are an outdoors person or someone who would like to live in a quiet community, Westfir is the place for you. We have several local swimming holes, hiking trails, popular biking trails, birding nature area, horse-
back riding trails, and a not-to-distant OHV park. And the amazing Aufderheide Scenic Highway begins here. With Westfir Lodge we have beds and meals, for RV overnighters we have Casey’s Riverside RV Park, and
for general items we have Westfir General Store. Of course Oakridge is just a few minutes away for everything else. In short, this is a great place to live.”

Cougar Reservoir
Where can one truly escape
from the ever-increasing traďŹƒc, the incessant noise and the ever-present evidence of our technological world? My choice is the peaceful tranquility of the Aufderheide (pronounced Owf-der-high-duh) Scenic Drive, part of the Western Oregon Scenic Byway in the Willamette National Forest. This pleasant afternnoon drive is unique in that it equates a step back in time before power lines, cell phone towers, and billboards marred our natural world. There are no restaurants, motels or gas stations, and very little traďŹƒc. But, do watch out for bicyclists, this byway
72
is for them too. Our first stop was Cougar Reservoir offering boating, fishing and other water recreation. With repairs forcing the lowering of the water level, and low rainfall coupled with unseasonably warm temperatures this past spring, expect to see record low water levels. But, as you can see in the above picture, the view is still a sight to behold. Most of the drive follows various forks of both the McKenzie and the Willamette rivers where dozens of campgrounds - all primitive - are available on a firstcome first-serve basis.
For hikers, there are trailheads galore, and numerous inviting swimming holes offering quick dips to cool off.
Native Columbine
If you’re game, take the four-mile hike for a relaxing soak at one of the five Terwilliger Hot Springs located a short distance beyond the reservoir. Cost is $5 per person and clothing is optional.
For RVers there is nearby Casey’s Riverside RV Park-Casey’s is one of the top rated RV parks in Oregon.
Along the roadway, the first half of the drive offers a plethora of photo opportunities of native plants, such as lupine, diminutive tiger lillies, columbine and at least five types of ferns. With all the maples lining the road, a fall visit will yield lush colors.

North Fork Willamette River This 60-mile jaunt begins just past the town of Blue River on Hwy 126. I recommend that you make a quick stop at the McKenzie Ranger station in Blue River and pick up an audio tape guide. (Note: the ranger station is closed weekends). Allocate about three hours to complete the drive allowing for photo stops, scenic views, and maybe a picnic along the river bank.

The byway ends at the Office Bridge in the quiet town of Westfir. Here there is a general store to purchase snacks and groceries and there is Westfir Lodge which offers rooms, drinks, and lunches. Travel through the Office Bridge and you will find a picnic area with restroom facilities.

Published Weekly on Thursday Serving the Upper Willamette Valley Since 1973 • 48013 Highway 58 (P.O. Box 900), Oakridge, Oregon 97463 • One Dollar The High Lakes Restaurant was a popular hangout in the early ’60s when this postcard photo was taken.
94 year old Oakridge vet received award last fall
Oakridge resident and veteran Gordon Walker has been a continuous member of the American Legion for 70 years and received Continuous Service awards last October for 60 years and 70 years of service. He is 94 years old. Walker was born in Raymond, Washington where his dad was a millwright. He has a sister who has died previously, and a brother. After he graduated high school he worked in an experimental division of the Lockheed aircraft manufacuring company in California. He didn’t like it much and returned home but was soon drafted into the army during WWII in 1942 and attended basic training in Clearwater, Florida. The army pressed hard for him to join infantry but because of his background at Lockheed, he was assigned to Army Air Corp instead. Immediately out of basic training Walker processed B-17s directly from the factory and got them ready for combat by pre-flying them and installing de-icer boots, etc. When the war started winding down in Europe and no new aircraft were being sent there, he and six other people from his group transfered to Dalhart, Texas and formed a B-29 group. They trained in Puerto Rico before being stationed in Guam. He was in Guam during the bombings of Heroshima and Nagasaki. Walker was discharged in 1945 as an E-5 Staff Sergeant. At the end of his service he was offered the rank of Master Sergeant but he turned it down, opting to come home instead. He married soon after returning home and raised a stepson, two sons, and a daughter. He also bought a photo studio and became a professional photographer for the rest of his career. He owned studios in the towns of Raymond, and then in Seaside, and finally in LaGrande. While in Seaside he was the official photographer for the Miss Oregon contests for 10 years.
76
He retired in 1985 in LaGrande. When he lived in Seaside, Walker was the commander of American Legion Post 99 in 1964-65. He also became fascinated with Native American artifacts while in Seaside, having dug some up on private property there before 1978 when it was still legal to keep them. He ended up with so many that he started a Native American museum to display them there. His artifacts are 2,000-3,000 years old and he estimates his collection weighs over two tons. Walker moved to Oakridge with a family friend after his wife died of cancer.
Gordon Wilson, 94-year-old Oakridge resident, received Continuous Service awards from the American Legion in October for 60 and 70 years of continuous service.

All-Season Hours: Tue-Sat 10am-6pm
The Emerald Valley Armory was founded by Raye Gunter in late 2011. Raye has over 15 years of armory management experience and almost 8 years of active service. His vision with Emerald Valley Armory is to build a solid line of services and products based on his experience. “I sell, buy and trade legal guns. And, if you are selling a firearm between two private parties, I am happy to do the transfer for you.”
Emerald Offers A Variety Of Classes “Safety is developed in training.”
• Basic Handgun Safety and Personal Protection Oregon/Utah CHL Handgun safety and responsibilities concluding with Oregon/Utah Concealed Handgun License. • Carry Skills Class Advanced defensive handgun use and safety • Urban Defensive Carbine Class Use of the carbine in short to medium range environments All classes are complete with active shooting instruction.
A Message From Raye
“Why have a gun? Is the most common question that non-owners ask me,” said Raye Gunter, owner and gunsmith, of the Emerald Valley Armory of Creswell. “People own and enjoy guns for many reasons: 1- Recreational shooting, competition, or collecting; 2- Hunting game such as deer, elk, antelope, waterfowl, upland game birds, varmint, or predator control; 3- They are concerned about self-defense in a world that preys upon the defenseless. And while we’re on that subject, its been proven time and again, that the crazy shooters pick on people that won’t shoot back, they will run if one of their potential victims points a gun at them.
80
Sadly, our society is being fed the notion that taking away all guns will eliminate all shooters, BUT, what history teaches us, when countries take away gun rights from their citizenry, is that criminals have a heyday robbing, murdering and doing terrible things. Our U.S. Constitution is not out-dated as some of our politicians are telling us. Our U.S. Constitution was wise in allowing us to defend ourselves against both internal and external criminal elements. Simply look around, read history and think about the direction this world is going-and give me a call to tell me where I am wrong.”

Paul Tocco of Buster’s Main Street Cafe
Shares a unique business strategy that is good for everyone
. Paul Tocco, owner of Buster’s Main Street Cafe, is a ‘people person.’ He was recently voted, by Cottage Grove Chamber of Commerce members, to be Cottage Grove’s First Citizen of Paul and Amy Tocco the Year for 2015. The qualifying criteria was, “The recipient of this award will have demonstrated leadership and dedication, and put forth efforts that have contributed to the improvement of the Cottage Grove community and its citizens.” In short, I believe that means that the receiver of the award not only has a business in town but also is concerned with its ‘give back’ to the community as a whole. I asked Paul, who is a high-energy, enthusiastic fellow, what his business philosophy was. Here’s a few of his thoughts: “First and foremost, to be in a service industry, you must love people! To help your community, look around, recognize a need and figure out an affordable way that your business can become part of the solution.” Q: “And that is why you give free meals to veterans on certain holidays, help the high school and the local Habitat for Humanity, to name a few?” “Absolutely. Providing free meals to veterans and active duty service members on the 11th of every month is the least that I can do for the great sacrifices they make. I welcome the opportunity to support various non-profit organizations. I have worked out a program whereby organizations can hand out cards to promote Buster’s Main Street Cafe. When people turn in their cards at the cafe, 10% of the bill goes back to the organization. We also provide $25 gift certificates to all graduating seniors from Cottage Grove High Schools to help recognize their achievement. These are a few examples of the ways that we are able to engage our community and provide support, while also introducing new customers to our cafe.” Q: “What about Habitat for Humanity?” “In a recent fund drive for Habitat, I gave them gift certificates for the restaurant. I provided the gift certificates for
free and let them keep all of the proceeds. They made $4,000 on their sales. I do similar programs with other organizations. As a businessperson, you have to determine what you think is affordable and reach out from there. Community is such an integral part of my business, I simply feel it is my duty to find ways to give back.” Q: “On the surface, it would seem that a business would go broke, giving to the community the way you do. Please explain.” “Businesses set aside funds to cultivate new business. This is a business necessity. It may be done through traditional advertising, such as newspaper ads, radio ads, etc. I used to employ some of these means and frankly still do some of this type of advertising occasionally. Rather than investing a significant amount in traditional advertising, though, I have found it to be beneficial to be able to cultivate new business through my community outreach programs. I am able to benefit worthy organizations, while also introducing new people to my restaurant. I feel so strongly about the quality of the food, service and overall experience people will receive when they come to my restaurant, that I am confident they will return. Furthermore, it is easier for my cash flow to be able to absorb the impact of $4,000 worth of gift certificates trickling in over a rather long period of time, rather than writing a check for $4,000 to the organization.” Q: “What is your advice to all businesses, including those who are not restaurateurs?” “Be passionate in whatever you are pursuing. Be sure you focus on your customers. Provide them with excellent service, always providing them with an excellent product – whatever that may be in your industry. Finally, as has been the heart of most of this discussion, find ways to engage with your community. Be a positive impact within your community and your community will reciprocate.” Q: “Are you open for a confidential discussion with other businesses?” “If any businessperson wants to talk to me, I’d be glad to share how my philosophy might apply to their business. Just give me a call here at Buster’s and we can set up a time.”
The Restaurant Neighbor Award, given by the Nationsl Restaurant Association Educational Foundation (NRAEF), was created ‘to help honor restaurants who are actively involved in their community and honoring the positive contributions restaurants make in their local neighborhoods each and every day.’ (The above left photo courtesy of NRAEF.) Buster’s Main Street Cafe in Cottage Grove, Oregon was a 2016 Oregon State winner of the Restaurant Neighbor Award.

Quick History, Past From its headwaters at Diamond Lake
in the Cascade Mountain Range, 100 miles east of Roseburg, the Umpqua River snakes its way 111 miles past Roseburg to where it empties into the Pacific Ocean at Winchester Bay. Simply put, the Scenic Umpqua River Valley stretches from Roseburg where the North Umpqua and South Umpqua meet (six miles northwest of Roseburg), to its mouth at Winchester Bay. The river and its valleys are famous for many things, including world class fishing, scenic trails, logging and, more recently, wine. In the early 1800’s the Umpqua River valley was inhabited mostly by the Coquilles, a tribe of Native Americans. The tribe gave most of its land to the United States in the 1854 Treaty with the Umpqua
88
and Kalapuya, agreeing to move to a reservation in Lincoln County and become part of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz. The river itself is named for the Umpqua, one of the Coquille bands. Two translations of the Native American word “umpqua” are “thundering waters” and “across the waters”. Since the early pioneer days, the river and surrounding areas helped produce and move the greatest wealth in Southern Oregon-timber and gold. Sailing vessels and steam schooners would arrive at Winchester Bay and their hard-to-get merchandise would be loaded onto river boats that would carry the goods to Scottsburg, where the deep tidewater ends and the rapids begin. There, the goods would be re-loaded onto mule trains and head for the interior valley and Roseburg.
On the turn-around trip the mule trains would be loaded with timber and gold from the valley and sent back to be re-loaded at Scottsburg for the final leg to Winchester Bay. This all worked fine until devestating floods of the 1860s wiped out most of Scottsburg, sinking it into obscurity. Also, at the same time, advancements of the north/south railroad lines in the valley, made shipping more predictable. Today, the Umpqua River is famous for some of the world’s best fly-fishing, salmon fishing, and sturgeon fishing. It is also known for its small-mouth bass, striped bass, and shad population. The river and its heavy summer steelhead run was made famous when writer and sports angler Major Lawrence Mott, also known as the “millionaire reporter”, set up a fishing camp in the area in 1929.

Deadwood (Only 35 Minutes From Florence) Rumor has itIn the early 1800s the local Indians did a controlled underbrush burn in the area. The burn did not go
as planned and, as a result, may trees were burnt therefore creating much 'dead wood'. First homestead was by Thomas Pope in 1882. Present pop. (2014) 294; Elev. 262’; Not incorp.
Deadwood Country Market & Tavern On Scenic Hiway 36
Owners Dimitri, Angelo & Tina manage a
convenience market, restaurant/bar and gas pumps. River access is nearby.
This is a ‘must-stop’ on Hwy 36, just 17 minutes upriver from Mapleton. Here’s what the customer’s say: • “If you haven’t visited, stop by to see the awesome bar & restaurant, featuring an amazing cedar log bar!” • “Family friendly atmosphere!” • “Dimitri’s a talented chef, and his wife Tina made us all feel welcome!”

WALTON STORE & CAFE By Felisa Rogers Across the road from the Morning Glory Farm, and a few feet to the west, you’ll find the timestamped Walton Store. The punctures in the 100- year-old floor are from loggers’ caulk boots, and you can learn more about Walton history
from an open book on the counter. Scan the room and you will find more Open M-Tu 10-6pm W-Su 9-8pm than a convenience store—there’s food, cold drinks, golden oldie records to 18945 Hwy 126 listen to, and nice people to chat with. 541-521-8853 So why not stop here and relax awhile?

The Deadwood/Walton Loop In the rush to get to the coast, travellers are missing
some of the finest scenery Oregon’s Coast Range Mountains have to offer. This is called the Deadwood/ Walton Loop because their very names suggest pioneer history and, I had to come up with a title to make the driver slow down. The Loop runs from Veneta to Mapleton to Franklin and back to Veneta. Of course there are many more towns along the Loop that need recognition-Mapleton, Brickerville, Tide, Swisshome, Greenleaf, Blachly, Horton, Triangle Lake, Low Pass, Franklin, Elmira, Veneta, Noti; and others I apologize for missing.
Legend: Pioneer Cemetery (3) PCem Wigwam (1) Covered Bridge (4) (see Covered Bridge Guide) River/Lake Access State Park SPLPCounty Park Camping Old Barn
Stop in at Walton Store & Cafe and ask to see their copy of a book that has the history of the area-you’ll be entranced at what you will find. At Noti you’ll find a milltown that is typical of the 1950s complete with a restaurant/bar. For me it is stepping back in time to my childhood. For sightseers there are four covered bridges, a wigwam in Swisshome, numerous photo opportunities, occassional old barns that speak of a hopeful past, hiking, camping, picnicing, boating, swimming, restuarants, pubs, convenience stores, fueling stations, boat accesses and even a nice dry place to wash your dog.

Cape Arago Lighthouse Lens Now At CHM!
By Steven Greif and Jon Littlefield
nection.com
The Coos History Museum in Coos
Bay opened in the summer of 2015 and continues to add to its stellar exhibits about life on Oregon’s South Coast. Recently a wonderful lighthouse lens was added to the collection. The Cape Arago Lighthouse at the mouth of Coos Bay, one of the earliest on the Oregon Coast, began service in 1866. A replace-
ment lighthouse was built in 1909. In 1993, GPS replaced the need for the light at Cape Arago and its lens was then moved to storage at a local Coast Guard station. The lens was manufactured in Paris using the lens designs of Augustin Fresnel (1788-1827) a French physicist who revolutionized aids to navigation by supporting the theory that light moves in waves, not particles, so it can be bent and focused using glass prisms. Working with physicist François Arago, they developed compound lenses that refracted light to form beams. A Fresnel lens wraps around the lamp to concentrate light rays into a super-powerful beam so that sailors can see the beam up to 20 miles away. Fresnel figured out that the lamp and lens could be rotated, so that as the beam of light swept across the sea, the light seemed to flash. Adding different sequences of flashes and colored panels of glass helped sailors know which lighthouse they were looking at and where they were. When you study the Cape Arago lens,
which is lit with a modern low wattage LED bulb, you will notice that it has three “bull’s eye” lenses in the center of three of its quadrants, but the fourth quadrant of the lens is covered by a brass shield, or shovel. When the lens revolved every 20 seconds in a clockwise direction, it produced three separate white flashes followed by 12 seconds of darkness — Cape Arago’s “signature.” The Coos History Museum at 1210 North Front Street, Coos Bay, is open from 10-6 daily except Mondays. Admission is $7 for adults and $3 for children under 18. AAA, AARP, and family discounts are available. For more info phone 541-756-6320.

Life-Saving Light The Fresnel lens
was invented by Augustin-Jean Fresnel and installed in the 223’ French Cordouan lighthouse in 1853. This more eďŹƒcient lens (than a planoconvex lens) takes light from a small source and refracts the light waves into a concentrated beam.

OREGON COAST LIGHTHOUSES
PhotosByShaun.com Featured Lighthouse: The Coquille River Lighthouse was lit in 1896. For the people of Bandon, it offerred the hope of greater commerce. There were few roads on the Oregon Coast at that time. This lighthouse was decommissioned in 1939 when the Coast Guard placed an automated beacon near the end of the south jetty.
T
he development of lighthouses on the west coast in the 1800s was a must for commerce and U.S. westward expansion, especially when the infrastructure of highways and airports was non-existent. The rush to build lighthouses was as important as the push of railroads (east and west; and north and south). Still useful today, lighthouses reassure mariners that they are on the right course. From their inception, lighthouses were expensive to operate and, being a keeper of the lighthouse could be lonely and dangerous-think
of living on Terrible Tilly (Tillamook Rock) with rough seas smashing over the top of the lighthouse. By the 1930s technology had improved to allow additional options for maritime safety. Oregon’s Lightships: various Columbia lightships, a ‘lighthouse’ on a ship, marked the entrance of the Columbia River from 1892-1979. The last one is docked in Astoria, tours are available. U.S. Facts: The tallest U.S. lighthouse is Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, N.C., 200’ tall. The only ‘keeper’ in the U.S. still ‘keeping a lighthouse’
(by order of U.S. Congress) is in the Boston Lighthouse. It is the oldest station in the U.S. The U.S. state with the most lighthouses is Michigan, with 124. Earliest U.S. lighthouses built were in Maine, 1791 and in Virginia, 1792. World facts: The first recorded lighthouse was built by Egypt in 285 B.C., and was destroyed by earthquake in 1302. The oldest existing lighthouse in the world is the 180’ Tower of Hercules, near Corunna, Spain, built between 100-200 A.D. •

Visiting Our Events & Scenic Places With Family & Friends By Steve Rowland, Publisher
This section is to serve those who want to enjoy to the fullest the events and people of our communities. This magazine has grown from offering its service to four rural towns, to now, more than forty. Our mission is to show the character of these towns, their events and their scenery. At the heart of this is the people that live, work and volunteer their services to 118
their community. Do you like sleeping on the open ground or in a tent with the bugs and rocks? Have you thought of owning an RV? If you own one do you use it often? I hope following pages will inspire you to make time in your busy life and ‘get away’ with family and friends. Time passes swiftly, the good time is now.
A Message From Good Sam’s Oregon State Director by Karen Wells As we move into winter, the North American RVers of this world have a decision to make. They can either start the process of winterizing their RV, putting it into some sort of storage until spring arrives again or they can make plans to go south, following the birds, looking for warmer temperatures. That is why they are often called snowbirds. Personally, Larry and I prepare our rig for winter, parking it in a solid, covered building where it will be kept protected from the elements. I remove things like my makeup, some pantry food, paper goods and my computer printer, all items that could be affected adversely by long periods of non-use. I blend those items back into our home, recycling them so nothing gets old, outdated or damaged. Next spring we will restock before camping again. One thing I learned this summer is to keep a list of important phone numbers and other information handy at my fingertips while camping. What brought this on was something that happened to us in October. Larry and I were driving south on I-5 on our way to a scheduled campout with the Good Sam Klamath Kampers at the Valley of the Rogue State Park, south of Grants Pass.
Going down a long descending grade we noticed ahead of us a pickup and utility trailer pulled over on the right shoulder of the road with a man running back toward us. At the same time we noticed some construction items strewn on the road ahead of us.
Larry is not a fast driver, keeping the RV moving between 55 and 60 mph. Even at that speed, with a lot of traffic around us, we knew we were going to have to perform a dodge and swerve maneuver. Our left front tire missed the big black box by inches, causing our right front tire to hit a cylinder that looked like a fire extinguisher. The tire didn’t blow and we came back into our lane, feeling relived nothing bad had happened. We continued on our way to the RV Park. During the night it began raining. As we stepped out of the door in the morning we were shocked to see our RV covered in a purple liquid. When we shot water on the undercarriage we quickly saw purple water spreading over the parking pad, going down the dump drain. It took a lot of scrubbing, with help from our camping friends, to remove the purple color. Our guess was it was caused by a powdered concrete dye of some sort. It was Saturday, no one answered when I tried to report it by phone. On Monday, I found this information at the ODOT office in Salem. I will keep this information handy from now on; hopefully never needing to use it again. I am sharing it with all of you so if it is needed, you will know where to call.

Ruby Mountains, Nevada
by Gene Terrell of Junction City, Oregon Early morning, September 2nd, my wife Cindy and I, along with our travel companion Kimber, a 55 lb Labradoodle, headed southeast to the Ruby Mountains in northern Nevada. We traveled SR 66 across the mountains, making note of interesting and beautiful spots for future adventures. Our route continued across the high desert country of eastern Oregon and northern Nevada where we met up with old friends Jeff and Janet Carter. We set out together from Winnemucca, traveling east to Elko. Upon arrival, we discovered that due to the Labor Day holiday, all spaces were filled in the mountain camping area so we spent our first night at the Iron Horse RV Resort, highly recommended if you are in the area, and enjoyed dinner at the Toki Ona Basque restaurant. Next morning, after loading up on water and supplies for dry camping, we headed south to the town of Lamoille, spending time on the local history. We visited a beautiful church built in the 1900s which has been restored and is still in use today. Then on to Lamoille
124
Canyon where we drove out of the high desert ranch country into tall, granite walls reaching from 10,000 to 11,500 feet toward the heavens. These are often referred to as Nevada’s Swiss Alps. Our campsite was nestled among shimmering aspen trees and laid along side a beautiful creek spotted with beaver dam lodges. Look very closely as these little flat tailed animals. They are expert engineers and their dams are a thing of great beauty. We spent our first day exploring the beauty of this part of the Rubies that offer hiking trails to mountain lakes and for the extreme hikers, trails that lead to the rim rock. Bring a good pair of binoculars for spotting big horn sheep and cougars in the crags above. Day two was spent at the Ruby Marshes wet lands-very interesting and should not be missed if you are in the area. For us, this trip ended too soon as we needed to return to our home in Junction City, Oregon, but if you like nature at its best and have the opportunity, we know you will enjoy it.
