Salvage Sisters Antiques & More

By Kathy Rowland

Salvage Sisters is the brainchild of sisters-in-law Laura Spoerl and Kathy Rowland. It all started with the idea of simplifying our lives by downsizing and it grew from there. “It has been our dream to have a little business venture when we both retired,” says Kathy Rowland. “It is so gratifying to see that dream come true and its been so much fun to scour the countryside to find treasures. We find old things and make them new again. “Some of the items you will find are old antique pieces and some are worn out pieces that we have made new again.

“Life is too short to not do what you love,” says Kathy Rowland. “Laura has a knack for design and she can help anyone with questions.” Both Laura and Kathy work most Thursdays. But if you need help, you can always call either of them, they will be happy to answer any questions or help you with your designs. Laura’s phone number is 541-953-1194 and Kathy’s phone number is 541-517-3079. “Our main goal in this business is to create a little happiness in people’s lives. It is so gratifying to see smiles on people’s faces when they find a treasure,” says Kathy Rowland. “So, come on down to the Courtyard on 6th in Junction City and find your treasure!”

HENTZE FARM — 30045 Hentze Lane, Junction City Serves The Area For More Than 100 Years

Since 1902 five generations of the Hentze family have lived on a small river bottom farm located two miles due east of Junction City, Oregon. The distinctive farming style practiced by the Hentze clan can be traced back to Johan Hentze who immigrated to the USA from the Faroe Islands. For more than a century the unspoken goal—To perpetuate the good life—has driven family members to persevere in the creation of a small but operational farm.

Tending orchards, cultivating a variety of fruits and vegetables, raising cows and chickens and other livestock, hosting entertainment on the farm-these activities could describe the lifestyle on the farm in Johans generation or that of the 5th generation working the farm today. In addition to providing fresh fruit, vegetables, locker beef, pork, and lamb, the Hentze Farm features antique processing equipment which saves time and mess for home processors. The farm

offers the services of snipped and cut green beans, corn husked and cut, pitted sweet and sour cherries and cracked walnuts and hazelnuts. In addition serving patrons produce needs, the Hentzes also entertain visitors with the farm animal experience. Special events include BBQ’s, live music, wagon rides and other farm activities throughout the summer and fall. To read more about the Hentze experience see our website: www.hentzefarm.com.

Events-All With Live Entertainment, TBA June 25, Sat.; Cherry Festival (w/Chicken BBQ) 9am-6pm July 16, Sat.; Hawaiian Night BBQ (w/Pulled Pork) 6pm-10pm Aug 6, Sat; Mexican Fiesta (authentic Mexican food) 6pm-10pm Aug 20, Sat; Prime Rib Night (local wine & beer) 6pm-10pm

Our Wine Is Beautiful 20

Oregon Community Connection Magazine Summer 2016 Edition

Prairie Mountain Wineries Meet The Winemakers!

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

541-998-6750 355 West 3rd Ave., Junction City Quench Your Thirst ! - Don’t Ignore it !!! By Dr. Desmond Crooks

Meet One Of Our Doctors

We are pleased that Dr. James Martin is at our Junction City Medical Clinic. His experience includes 20 years of practicing Internal Medicine in Littleton, Colorado and he particularly enjoys preventative care. His favorite activities outside the clinic include family, hiking and music. He likes it here in the Northwest and is enjoying the Junction City community - we’re glad to have him!

Hydration is a Must!

J.C. Medical Clinic Reaches 30-Year Mark

Junction City Medical celebrates its 30th year serving the community in this area. They are partnered with Urgent Care now too, adding even more convenience for patients. A special recognition goes to the clinic with its certification as a Patient-Centered Primary Care Home, getting patients the care they need, when they need it.

Well done!

Junction City • MEDICAL CLINIC

“I love the rural feel of this area, and am enjoying my work here.” —Dr. Martin

Irritated? Trouble with memory? Our ability to think can become seriously impaired when we’re dehydrated. Problems concentrating and even anxiety can occur. Cornell surveys found 3 out of every 4 adults percent are chronically dehydrated – this is remarkable! Some of this can be due to diet, since caffeinated beverages and high salt intake can result in dehydration even in adults that drink a half dozen or more cups of water daily! The solution, of course, is to do better. As an added benefit, you’ll decrease your chances of developing kidney stones too.

CCB #192431

With tree services 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, and people. So don’t put off that tree inspection, as the best time for an assessment is in the summertime.” The tree experts at A-1 prevent future property damage by 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!”

Need a board? Save yourself a trip!

Hi, my name is Travis Soverns and I am one of the owners of The Farm Store in Veneta, Oregon. We are always looking for new ways to fulfill our customer’s needs, and we just found a new way to do just that. We are now an official UPS Shipping Location, where you can drop off your UPS Packages and also purchase a shipping label if you need to. We also carry lumber! Currently we are carrying 2x4’s and 2x6’s, as well as some pressure treated 4x4’s, round fence posts, and we just started to carry sheets of plywood and OSB. So if you are shipping a package, Travis Soverns & Ninja the Cat building a fence or building a storage shed, we can help you get the job done without making a trip to Eugene! And don’t forget that we have everything you need to get your garden growing, and your lawn looking sharp all summer long. Come talk to us today and let us know how we can help meet your needs. I would love to see you drop by our store and take a peek around, and when you come in bring this ad with you and we will give you 10% off your purchase. I hope to see you soon! --Travis Soverns The Farm Store

The folks at Norwest Safety often hear people say, “wow, I can’t believe you have all this stuff right here.” When your mission is to provide products people wear and use to stay safe, comfortable and productive while they work, that can mean quite a variety of inventory.

Roosevelt Blvd

Staying warm and dry is a big deal to people working outdoors in the state of Oregon. Norwest offers a full range of sturdy raingear, from pvc, neoprene and nitrile to Gore-tex, plus such specialties as HiVis and FR for utilities and extra heavy duty for loggers.

W 1st Ave

To prevent wet feet, they have choices in pvc and rubber boots, plain and steel toe, up to and including the ultimate in insulated comfort, BOGS. Even for gardening or hunting, keeping your feet dry, toasty and well-cushioned can make a critical difference. Don’t forget hands – keep them warm and flexible in leather, insulated or waterproof gloves and every task will be easier. Try Norwest – they’ve got great stuff for all seasons!

The 12 player all-star volleyball team, led by UCLA head coach Michael Sealy, is made up of players from 11 of the Pac-12 schools. The team will play six matches while in China against Chinese club and national teams. Student-athletes will also enjoy cultural and sightseeing visits to Shanghai, Nanjing and Beijing. Gill, now a sophomore for the Ducks, played in 21 matches her freshman year and had 18 starts.

native averaged 1.12 kills per set and 0.77 blocks per set, earning a season high nine kills at Colorado. Gill’s success isn’t only limited to college. While in high school she was ranked No. 31 on the prepvolleyball.com Senior Aces list.

She was also Beavers’ Cross Country Hunter Mattson had the 13 passes for 128 yards and chance to play football for Portland State, Montana and Western Oregon. Instead, he chose to stay home for college and accept preferred walk-on position with the Oregon State football team. The 6-foot 195-pound running back/defensive back rushed for 2,738 career yards and 35 touchdowns for the Spartans. He accumulated 4,518 all-purpose yards over his career and 44 touchdowns. Though he missed two games last fall due to a knee injury, he still managed to rush for 1,107 yards and 19 touchdowns. He also lined up as a

one touchdown. Mattson made the 5A all-state second team as a running back after his senior season ended. He’s also a two-time all-Mid-Willamette Conference first team selection at running back and kick returner. While Mattson has spent most of his time on the offensive side of the ball, OSU has listed him as a running back or safety. His position will likely be confirmed after fall camp concludes.

team is just Lexi Reed’s latest accomplishment. Throughout high school, Reed not only played four sports – she excelled in them, setting multiple school records. The D’Evelyn High graduate was first-team allleague, league MVP, league and regional champion and all-state in cross country for her last three years of high school. She is also the school record-holder with 18:35 and frequently placed in the top five at state meets. Reed didn’t only limit herself to cross country. In track, she was first-team

league MVP as a junior and holds the school records in the 800 (2:14), 1,600 (4:53) and 3,200 (10:53). Reed also played on the basketball team as point guard and earned all-league and honorable-mention allstate as a junior. As if three sports weren’t already enough, Reed also played singles tennis during her freshman and sophomore years before quitting to focus on track, cross country and basketball. She has enrolled at Oregon State and plans on majoring in kinesiology.

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.

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.

Thompson’s Mill Heritage Site Plenty Of Pioneer History There’s Lots To Do For Everyone

Story by Gini Bramlett Photos by Oregon Park and Rec. Department

In 1858, few buildings were more important to white

settlers than a flour mill. Farmers drove their wagons filled with their grain harvest to the local mill. After catching up with news, the settlers returned home with flour that would keep them fed through the winter months. Thompson’s Mills State Heritage Site, located just east of Shedd, is owned and managed by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department and was opened for tourists and history buffs in 2004. The mill was first built in 1858, but burned down in 1862. It was rebuilt using 12x12-inch hand hewn beams which are still visible inside the mill today. Friends of Thompson’s Mills help to interpret the agricultural, commercial, industrial and social life of the southern Willamette Valley from 1858 through the present along with interpretive panels telling stories of area farmers, history of water rights, the intricate system of waterways, dams and control gates that bring the Calapooia River to the millrace. Various owners adapted the mill to changing times turning the flour mill to a feed mill and eventually a hydroelectric plant operating until 2004, making it one of Oregon’s oldest continuously operating water-powered

businesses. A new adjustable dam has been installed with a full mill race for milling demonstrations while also allowing for fish passage, full flow in the river and drainage after winter rains. The grounds are currently being restored to the 19101930s era with an heirloom orchard, gardens and plantings, as well as heritage poultry roaming the grounds and original fence lines and paths. Come, visit history: • Free guided tours are offered daily allowing visitors to see the water powered turbines and machinery in action. • The grounds are open from 9am - 4pm daily except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. Free one hour guided tours begin at 10am, noon and 2pm daily, or visitors can explore the first floor of the mill on a self guided tour anytime during open hours. • Fishing is allowed at the mill under ODFW regulations and the proper licenses, and artists are invited to set up their easels anywhere on the grounds. • Families can also enjoy picnics or reunions, but are asked to call in advance. School groups are welcome on Wednesdays only.

Call 541-491-3611 for more information. You can also visit the website at www.bostonmill.org.

Oregon Community Connection Magazine Summer 2016 Edition

Open enrollment is coming. Let me help you choose the best Medicare plan. Open Enrollment is coming up. Let me help you choose the Medicare plan that best fits your needs. It is time for you to start looking into Medicare plans that will be available in 2016. Not making an informed decision could cost you a lot of money and – maybe – your ability to obtain a Medicare supplement in the future. There are a few things that you must look at to make sure you have the right coverage you will need next year. The first decision you will need to make is how is my current coverage changing? Are my copays, premiums, out-of-pocket maximums going up or down? Are my doctors still going to accept the plan I am on, or will I have to look for another doctor? Is my plan not going to cover certain things next year that it covered this year? The second and sometimes most important decision is how are

my prescription drugs going to be covered? When will I hit the doughnut hole, and how can I get help paying for all my expensive medications? Do I qualify for assistance to help pay for these costs? These are all questions that every client of ours has each year and you probably do too. It’s okay, we are here to help. We are a local insurance company that specializes in helping people understand how the changes in Medicare affects them. We are here to help you find the best plan to fit your needs and your budget. Call us and discover what so many other people in your area have found out about their coverage. You can be certain there won’t be any pressure placed on you to purchase a plan, we just want you to know what is available. It could save you a lot of money.

Here are a few things that you should know about your Medicare plan. · You don’t have to change your plan, but it never hurts to compare

· By Federal law, Medicare Supplement plans must provide exactly the same health benefits, no matter which company sells it. · A higher price doesn’t mean a better or more stable plan · If you are turning 65 you can’t be denied coverage

o You need to make sure you make the right decision as it can impact you for the rest of your life to where you may not be able to change your plan in the future  The new health care law does not apply to people on Medicare

“Although I haven’t seen him in more than ten years, I know I’ll miss him forever. I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Does anybody?” - Gordie LaChance By Gini Bramlett

Diehard fans will no doubt recognize the aforementioned last line to the iconic movie, “Stand By Me” filmed, in 1985, in the small Oregon town of Brownsville aka Castle Rock. Brownsville will be bringing the film back to life on Saturday, July 23 to celebrate the time in its history when sidewalks were rolled up for director Rob Reiner, his cast, and crew to make this now classic film. Organizer Linda McCormick, and her staff of volunteers, are pulling out all the stops to make this special anniversary one to remember. “People are coming from as far away as Spain, Italy, and Brazil,” said McCormick. McCormick feels that the film, written by Stephen King and set in 1959, is popular because most people can

relate to the bond these boys had in spite of less than ideal home lives. Over the years since the film was made, Brownsville has hosted multitudes of people from Japan, where the movie is hugely popular. It’s not uncommon for locals to see tourists with cameras and smiles examining iconic sites; the penny on Main Street that Vern found on his way home after finding the body, the tree where the boy’s famous tree house was located, or the alley where a loaded gun went off when Gordy and Chris were fooling around. Even better, Bryan’s Woodshed, a local Brownsville business has taken up the challenge of replicating the boy’s private domain for fans. The Brownsville Chamber, local businesses and a host of volunteers are planning a multitude of activities throughout the day to help get fans under the Stand By Me spell. Join others for a blueberry pie eating contest, take part in the Ray Brower Memorial 5K run/walk, meet at Pioneer park

for the Geocache Challenge, dance the night away at an authentic sock hop, see vintage cars and trailers from the era, and visit the Pioneer Picture Gallery to take you back to 1985 when Brownsville’s streets were transformed into 1959. Fans can meet and greet cast and crew members and check out the Linn County Historical Museum for Stand By Me souvenirs. The day-long celebration will culminate at dusk with a showing of the film on a huge movie screen in Pioneer Park. Special guests will include actor, Kent Lutrell who played the dead body, Jerry O’Connell’s stand in, the film’s cinematographer, the train engineer in the trestle scene, and the local location and casting director. Details on times and locations are online at www.historicbrownsville.com. There you can register for the run/walk, find links to other Stand By Me resources and watch “Return to Castle Rock” featuring Brownsville and its dedication to all things Stand By Me.

URGENT CARE — A Great Choice This author, the publisher of this magazine, can attest to the value of a service like Urgent Care. After finding myself in medical distress and feeling that a long wait in an overworked emergency room at a hospital would not be desirable, I decided to give Urgent Care my trust, and I’m happy that I did. The staff was friendly, the waiting time was short and the doctors were great. They were even able to perform an ultra-sound on me so that they could add this test to their

diagnosis. I didn’t have to wait until tomorrow for conformation; they called me that very evening! The experience made me feel ‘special’ - but then, I’ve heard from friends who have went to an Urgent Care location - they felt special too. So, I asked Dr. Desmond Crooks, one of the owners, to explain a bit about what Urgent Care does, and here is his reply.

RV’n And Lovin’ It With Good Sam of Oregon

These pictures were taken at Remote Outpost RV Park—in the Coast Range Mtns.

“We love Oregon! We love to RV! We love to camp with others! We love to help people! That’s the reason we belong to a Good Sam Chapter in Oregon!” — Karen & Larry Wells

If you’ve never been a Good Sam member but you have an RV, you can have a ONE-YEAR membership FREE to see what Good Sam has to offer! Simply contact Karen Wells at: Oregon@GoodSamFamily.org

What is a Good Sam Chapter?

All Good Sam members are encouraged to join a local Chapter for wholesome, increased outdoor fun, fellowship, travel, touring places of interest, pot luck dinners and other interesting camping activities. This creates new and long lasting friendships and memories. Chapter members usually meet once a month for a campout get-together or other Chapter activities such as service projects or support of local charities. Many Oregon Chapters are strong supporters of Dogs for the Deaf. During the year, Chapters meet for a campout designated by the Wagonmaster or by common agreement of Chapter members. Once a year, in June, all Chapters attend our state Samboree at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Roseburg, OR. During winter months some

Chapters elect to have their meeting at a local restaurant for breakfast or lunch. A Chapter is made up with a varying number of rigs, each Chapter determining its own membership size. They camp together, play together and give support in times of need. Chapter members have vests in their own Chapter colors, with patches from states, parks and points of interest they have visited. The more you become involved in a Chapter the more satisfying the experience. There are currently 42 Chapters located throughout Oregon. Chapters in the Oregon NW Community Connection Magazine Distribution Area are: • Eugene Sojourners, Eugene • Lighthousers, Coos Bay • Roseburg Sams, Roseburg • McKenzie River Drifters, Springfield

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 OFFICE BRIDGE OF WESTFIR

This photo was taken from the former mill side of the bridge, looking toward Westfir.

The Office Bridge was an important component of a lumber town that began in the 1920s. Under Westfir Lumber Company’s ownership in 1944 the Office Bridge was Constructed. It allowed log trucks and people to pass over Office Creek (the North Fork of the Middle Fork of the Willamette River) to the Westfir lumber mill. In 1945 Edward Hines Lmbr Co purchased the mill and the town for $2,000,000. Hines added a plywood mill in 1951 During its heydays, 50s thru the 60s, This photo was taken on the town side of the bridge, looking toward the mill. The blue building is the ‘Office’, now the (Westfir Lodge).

the Office Bridge felt the boots of up to 500 employees daily. This bridge is the longest covered bridge in Oregon—180’ and is built with triple Howe trusses to support the weight. It is also the only covered bridge with a covered walkway. The plywood plant burned down in 1985 and, with poor market conditions, that was the end. With that, the Office Bridge saw ownership change multiple times. It is now owned by Lane County who restored it in 1997.

From a bustling community to a quiet

town the Office, now the Westfir Lodge, has seen a lot through the years. Step inside and you will soon feel the cacophony of men and women at work and trucks rumbling past. The lodge is where past meets present— well-appointed classic rooms and 5-star meals. For more information on the history of Office Bridge, the mill and the town of Westfir go to: ApaWood.org/PPA_StructuralWoodSociety/pdfs/PPA_24.pdf 69

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.

And, while you are in the town, be sure to check out the downtown business district for food and shopping.

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,

horseback riding trails, and a not-todistant 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.” •

7 beautiful rooms with private baths Large common area and formal dining room Restaurant serving wood fired pizza and specialty dishes Beautiful gardens and private sitting areas under old growth firs & cedars Conveniently located next to the Office Covered Bridge at the south end of the Aufderheide Scenic Byway (Hwy 19) in the Cascade Lakes Region Recreation Relaxation Events

(541) 782-3108 Westfir Lodge, built in the early 1920s, was the original office of the Western Lumber Company, which sold out to Westfir Lumber Company and then in 1946 to the Hines Lumber Company. In 1977 Hines sold its lumber company and the entire town of Westfir to a private investor. The mill closed in 1984 due to fire. Built in 1944, the Office Covered Bridge was a conduit of logs and employees; and the mill office (now the Westfir Lodge) was the site of contracts and payroll-visit and let your imagination fly. The lodge has been newly remodeled (but kept its old ambience) and its food is excellent. Its rustic charm will take you back to the days when lumber was king. By the way, the rainbow trout are said to be 12-20â&#x20AC;? here.

Bridge to adventure!

www.westfirlodge.com

Caseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Riverside RV Park is great for the

entire family (and their dogs). There is a swimming pool, shower, toilets and plenty of places for leisurely walks beside the beautiful Willamette River. If you want to spend time relaxing or if you want to be active. This park will make a home base. Space can fill up fast so I would recommend that you call now for open dates and make this your vacation place. Come to Westfir, where the people are friendly, and the opportunity for fun, or leisure, is at your fingertips.

New Event Begins At Westfir! By Viki Burns of the Dead Mountain Echo June 10-12 is the inaugural Willamette SxS Festival at the Office Covered Bridge Portal, with camping available in the adjacent old Hines Mill site.

This view is from the Westfir town side. The recently opened Westfir general store is behind us on our right. The Westfir Lodge is the blue building on the left. It served as an ‘office’ for various lumber companies. The aptly named ‘Office Bridge’ is the longest bridge in Oregon. Travel thru the bridge to the mill site. Turn to this magazine’s Covered Bridge Section.

This three-day festival begins on Friday, June 10 with

festival goers spending the day checking in, preparing their vehicles, visiting vendor displays, and exploring Oakridge and Westfir. In the evening there will be live music, a beer garden, and campfire. Saturday, riders start the day with breakfast and then spend the day following marked (signs & GPS) routes. Some routes have sub-routes and loops to provide the skilled rider an additional riding experience. When they return in the afternoon they will once again be treated to live music, beer garden, and campfire. Sunday is a repeat of Saturday with drivers taking different routes from the previous ones. No evening entertainment is planned for Sunday. The portal area will stay open to the public so nonOHV riders can still come enjoy the music and campfire-and maybe even become a OHV enthusiast. From the camping area the main route into the forest will be traveling northeast following Forest Service Rd. 19 to FS 1910. The first three miles are over pavement and provides the entry into the forest. Riders can go from there and visit Symbol Rock and Indian Ridge Lookout. The Indian Ridge Lookout sits at an elevation of 5,405

The Office Bridge is in the center, partially hidden. The mill site covered approximately 80 acres. Lane County took ownership in the 80s and refurbished the bridge in 1997. Now the mill site is a fine staging area for all manner of recreation, perfect access to this section of forest, hence the name ‘portal’ is attached to the site. feet in the Willamette National Forest. It was named for the old Indian hunting trail that runs along the summit. Built in 1958, the lookout was used for firefighting by Forest Service until 1973. It is still staffed occasionally during emergencies. This is a 100 mile route. Several routes within the 100 mile outer loop will be created, with shortcuts available so riders can modify their routes throughout each day, arriving back at camp on their own schedule. Huckleberry Flats is a short trailer haul away. This motorized-only trail system consists of 65 miles of Class I, III, and IV trails of various degrees of difficulty. Set in a second-growth stand of Douglas fir with a dense understory of rhododendron and vine maple, the rider will find trails ranging from old roads and skid roads to tight woods trails. If everyone minds their manners and stays out of trouble, we'll get to do this festival again next year. Next year's proposed routes include a long route to the Bohemia Mines to the south, a Waldo Lake route, that will require a little hike since the lake is protected by the Wilderness Act, and a Summit Lake route.

Forest Service offers wide range of information The Middle Fork Ranger District receptionist gets all kinds of questions about this large and diverse district. While we are always happy to answer questions, our offices aren’t open on the weekends. You can look up the information on the website: fs.usda.gov/willamette or ask us via twitter: @willamettenf. Some main topics include: Waldo Lake Waldo Lake, one of Oregon’s largest and purest lakes. Is it open? How are the mosquitoes? Can I ride my mountain bike around the lake and how far is it? The mosquitoes are ALWAYS a concern in July when you can first get into the area. They are much more tolerable in August and best in September and October. This can present a very poor camping experience for most people, so don’t forget to bring insect repellant when visiting any of the high lakes. The area is usually not open until the end of June, early July. The exact date is determined by snow melt. In years when there is a small amount of snow the road is open earlier. Heavy snow years, it is later. The Forest Service does not plow the road, so it truly is dependent on the weather. Biking is allowed on the 20 mile Jim Weaver Trail (#3590) around the lake and other nearby trails but NOT in the wilderness area. We have a map specific to Waldo Lake at our offices and more information available online. Aufderheide Scenic Byway Most questions are, is it open and when is the peak time for fall color? We are usually able to access this road all the way through to Cougar Reservoir by May. The road closes with the snowfall. Again, we don’t plow, so it is weather dependent. It is hard to predict the best day for fall colors. We can tell people as the time gets closer, what week might be best, but nothing closer than that. Many

years the colors looked to peak "next week" and then we had rain that spoiled the party! Back roads from Oakridge to Cottage Grove Yes, there is a road between Oakridge and Cottage Grove. The roads can be confusing up on the top of the hill. We suggest getting a map, and directions if interested in taking this trip. Have a full tank of gas and be prepared with food, water, etc. Again, this road is not open year round. Permits Can I get a permit for mushrooms, rock, plants, wood, etc? Yes, we sell permits for all these things and we also have free permits. If you are collecting mushrooms or plants for personal use (not to sell) you can get a free one at our office. There are limits on quantity and type. Stop by the office for the current information from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. during weekdays. Crater Lake National Park Is Crater Lake Open? Crater Lake is open most of the summer from the north entrance. However, folks wanting to visit the lake in early spring or late fall may find that the north entrance to the park is closed. They can gain access to the park through the Southern entrance which I believe is open all year long. That road takes you to the lodge area. The Rim drive is not open year round. Check the National Park website for webcams and trip planning information. Trail maps The Middle Fork District office has free individual trail maps for most of the trails in our area and larger, district maps for sale. The trail maps we have in the office show a description of the trail, what is seen there (does it go past a lake, to a peak, etc.) as well as the distance, difficulty but it doesn’t show the roads to get there, so it’s good to have the larger maps. Campground Questions Can I reserve a site or is it first-come, first-serve? All campground sites have first-come, first-serve sites

Oregon Community Connection Magazine Summer 2016 Edition

but many you can reserve in advance. Check recreation.gov and search for the campground you are interested in visiting. Do any of your campgrounds have showers or electricity? None of the Forest Service campgrounds in our area have showers or electricity. There are several privately owned campgrounds/trailer parks in the area that would accommodate this need. Check with the Chamber of Commerce website or contact the office for more specifics. Cabin and Lookout Rentals Do you rent lookouts or cabins? Yes, we rent Warner Lookout, located south of Hills Creek Reservoir, through the winter (November through May). After May it is a working lookout, so no rentals are accommodated until November. The location of this lookout makes it such that most of the time for rent it is a ski-in or snowmobile-in experience. Sometimes a person will have to travel 10 miles by foot or machine to reach the base of the lookout. It’s very popular, so reserve it early at recreation.gov. We also have an overnight shelter (Timpanogas) which is available only in the summer months. It is located 40 miles south of Oakridge near Diamond Peak. Again mosquitoes are an issue in the early summer months. This shelter is only open until the snow flies or until the snow melts. Call the station for more info about times, but reservations area made through recreation.gov. Box Canyon Guard Station is also rented, but that is actually on the McKenzie River Ranger District— even though the cabin is on Aufderheide Drive. Reservations for all these cabins, lookouts and shelters are through recreation.gov Camping with Horses We have a brochure showing all the horse camps in Oregon. Stop by the office for more info or go online at www.fs.usda.gov/willamette. On our district we have Harralson (near North Waldo Campground) and Box Canyon on Aufderheide Drive (Forest Service Road 19). Where is Salt Creek Falls? Salt Creek Falls is located about 25 miles above Oakridge on Hwy 58. It is the second tallest waterfall in Oregon. This is a fee site, so you need a Northwest Forest Pass, a Golden Age or Access Pass, or you can pay the $5 fee at the park. Check the website under Passes and Permits if you need more information.

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

Sadly, our society is being fed the notion that “Why have a gun? Is the most common question that non-owners ask me,” said Raye Gunter, owner taking away all guns will eliminate all shooters, BUT, and gunsmith, of the Emerald Valley Armory of Crewhat history teaches us, when countries take away swell. “People own and enjoy guns for many reasons: gun rights from their citizenry, is that criminals have a 1- Recreational shooting, competition, or collecting; heyday robbing, murdering and doing terrible things. 2- Hunting game such as deer, elk, antelope, waterOur U.S. Constitution is not out-dated as some fowl, upland game birds, varmint, or predator control; of our politicians are telling us.

Bohemia Mining Days July 14-17

The 57th Annual Bohemia Mining Days Festival, July 14-17, celebrates the colorful history on Cottage Grove as its early days when miners came to town to spend their gold. This year’s theme, “All that glitters... is NOT gold” commemorates how a local miner brought electricity to town via the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. Coiner Park is transformed into “Bohemia City” for four fun-filled days

of live entertainment, food, games, contests, 75+ vendors and a carnival. On Friday & Saturday a train transports festival-goers to offsite events, local museums, covered bridges and the Historic Downtown District. For more information call 541-942-5064 or visit www. bohemiaminingdays.org.

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

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.

the last edition of Oregon NW Community Connection? Hopefully you managed to attend the first one, Birding at the Yoncalla Mill Pond. It was held in conjunction with the Umpqua Valley Audobon Society and it was a WONDERFUL success!! After we circled the pond we looped around downtown to check out birds near feeders. Lots of spring birds at both places.

Yoncalla Mill Pond

The Yoncalla Mill Pond offers a host of recreational opportunities. The choices are currently under review.

Rivers Edge Chevre’ Logsden Cheesemaker An International Award Winner Chevre’ is French for cheese made from goats milk.

Cheeses from goat’s milk is lower in fat and higher in potassium and vitamin A, when compared to cow’s milk cheeses.

Story by Gini Bramlett

A cheesemaker since young adulthood, Pat Morford was destined to create something special. Now an award-winning cheese artisan, she and her daughter Astraea, raise herds of Alpine goats and sheep to create award winning cheeses at River’s Edge Chevre’ homestead farm in rural Siletz, about a half hour’s drive from the Oregon coast. Rivers Edge Chevre’ has receiving countless awards from national and international food, cheese and dairy organizations, including the American Dairy Goat Association (ADGA), the American Cheese Society (ACS), the Wisconsin Cheesemaker’s Association (WCMA), the World Cheese Awards, and the Good Food Awards. Two of their artisan cheeses received international awards in 2013; Rivers Edge Chevre’ Humbug Mountain was Best USA Cheese at the International Cheese Awards in Nantwich, England, one of the oldest and largest cheese competitions in the world, and their Up In

Smoke was “Best American Cheese” at the BBC Fine Food Show in Birmingham, England. Their unassuming facility, in production since 2005, tells nothing of their international notoriety. But once inside the European style cheese facility where the cheese is made downstairs and the women live upstairs, another story unfolds. The pristine, sanitary conditions in the facilities where the goats are milked and the cheeses are made are hi-tech and modern. “It’s not a little investment,” said Pat about the shiny stainless steel milking station and the cheese making facilities. And, the cost for alfalfa to feed the more than 150 goats is about a grand a week. “You have to feed them well to get good results,” Pat said, who has raised goats since the tender age of eight. “Goats are fun,” she laughed. “They’re a wonderful animal - pretty naughty though.”

Visit www.riversedgechevre.com for Rivers Edge cheese listing and additional information. Rivers Edge Chevre’ is available in Oregon at independent shops, Market of Choice, New Seasons, Murray’s Kiosks in Fred Meyer and at Roth’s Grocers, as well as locations around the country. The cheeses can also be shipped directly to you. For a store near you or to place an order, call 541-444-1362 or e-mail threering@peak.org.

Deadwood (Only 35 Minutes From Florence) Rumor has it—In 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.

Morning Glory Farm Produce And Much More! By Felisa Rogers

If you’re in the mood for a fun and fruitful expedition, head out scenic Highway 126 to Morning Glory Farm & Espresso. Located in Walton, just twenty miles west of Eugene, the family-owned farm offers a rotating selection of seasonal organic produce, including sweet corn, heirloom tomatoes, okra, salad greens, strawberries, cherries, and pumpkins. The farm shop sells seasonal vegetables year round, as well as a curated selection of locally-made snacks, jewelry, and artwork. In summer you can pick up your favorite vegetables for canning. Or if you’re not feeling quite that industrious, you can purchase shiny jars of dill

pickles, pickled peppers, pumpkin pie filling, and other vegetables. You’ll also find organic honey,

eggs, fresh bread, gourmet caramel corn, and creative offerings like honey cinnamon cashew butter.

Need to refuel? Expect friendly service at the coffee counter, which serves espresso drinks, milkshakes, and freshbaked treats, including cinnamon rolls and chocolate chip cookies. And what better place to enjoy your coffee? The barn’s bright copper roof and the abundance of fruit trees and flowers make the farm a serene spot for savoring a treat or contemplating your newfound bounty.

Open Daily 8-8pm 19540 Hwy 126 541-935-4093 eatwelloregon@yahoo.com

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 9-5pm W-Su 9-7pm 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?

Darlingtonia Natural Site

Story by Colette Kimball, Photos by Rick Obst

Just off Highway 101, near the north end of Florence, sits a bog full of plants which are so rare that

the State of Oregon maintains an 18-acre botanical park to protect them. The plants are the Darlingtonia californica, more commonly known as a “Cobra Lilly” or “Pitcher Plant.” plants from a boardwalk over the bog. at any time of the year, the best time to The Darlingtonia Natural Site visit may be in the late spring or early includes a quarter-mile-long loop trail While seeing the rare insect-eating plants growing in the wild is enjoyable summer when the plants are in bloom. that provides excellent views of the Life in a bog, where there are few nutrients in the soil, can be hard for a plant. The Darlingtonia has adapted by “eating” insects. The process is rather simple: insects are attracted into the plant’s “mouths” by sweet-smelling nectar. Once inside, the insects become confused and can’t find their way back out. Eventually, they slide to the base of the plant where they drown in a pool of fluid. As the insect bodies break down, they release nutrients which the plant absorbs. Theses carnivorous flora have been called, ‘eerily spectacular!’

Formerly known as the Darlingtonia Wayside, the Darlingtonia Natural Site is located just east of Highway 101, five miles north of Florence. It is conveniently close to the coast highway and makes for an easy stop.

Siuslaw Pioneer Museum Florence

By Colette Kimball Photos By Historical Society

It is no surprise that Florence, with its vibrant historic Old Town, is full of history. Settlers were first attracted to the area in the late 1800s because of its wealth of natural resources, especially timber and salmon. The area was so rugged and remote that these hardy people depended on natural thoroughfares – traveling on the beach or along the Siuslaw River – to connect with the outside world. Despite this isolation, the population in Florence flourished so that by 1905 a two-story schoolhouse was built. Today, that schoolhouse is the perfect setting for the Siuslaw Pioneer Museum. Located in the heart of Old Town the museum provides an interesting collection of artifacts from earlier times. Showing how people lived and worked in the Siuslaw River area is the focus of the first floor exhibits. The second floor features a military room, displays of

office and sewing equipment, and a room of Native American artifacts. Sprinkled throughout the museum are videos which explain the history in more detail. Perhaps the best displays, however, are a large replica of a saw mill and some of the original controls from the Siuslaw River drawbridge. These are located outside on the back patio. Harry Zinn, Operations Manager, says that the museum is constantly getting new donations and regularly rotates their exhibits to keep them fresh and interesting. An addition is also in the works, which will increase both exhibit and storage space. The Siuslaw Pioneer Museum is located 278 Maple Street. Admission $3. Check the Museum’s website (www.siuslawpioneermuseum.com) for open hours.

The Umpqua River, whose mouth is at Winchester Bay, and whose tidewaters reach nearly 20 miles inland to the town of Scottsburg, was a major shipping route in the mid 1800s. This river provided movement of WILLIAM M. TUGMAN cargo to the upper Willamette Valley-essential tools & supplies came upriver and gold & lumber went downriver. The Umpqua shipping went to Coos Bay when its lighthouse collapsed in 1863. STATE See Lighthouse section. _ !

Cape Arago Lighthouse Lens Now At CHM!

By Steven Greif and Jon Littlefield

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 223â&#x20AC;&#x2122; French Cordouan lighthouse in 1853. This more efficient lens (than a planoconvex lens) takes light from a small source and refracts the light waves into a concentrated beam.

OREGON COAST LIGHTHOUSES

Photo by Rick Obst Featured Lighthouse: Cape Arago Lighthouse, located near the southern end of scenic Cape Arago Hwy, has been a sentinel since 1866. Positioned on Chief’s Island, Cape Arago Lighthouse was to provide a beacon to the Coos River entrance to enhance commerce. In 2008, legislation was signed by President George Bush to the Confederated Tribes; conditions determined by the Secr. of the Interior.

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, first, The Oregon Trail, and second, 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 light-

house could be a 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.
