ATV Park — Good Ride
RYAN BONHAM/ Lake County Examiner
Lake County Fairgrounds Mgr. Don Moore stands atop one of the crowns of the Lake County ATV Park, located just northwest of the arena. The course is open to the public at no charge, and provides a local recreational site for ATV riders. By Ryan Bonham Lake County Examiner There are numerous hidden gems throughout Lake County, as far as recreational venues are concerned. All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are a popular motorized past time for many in the region. In Lakeview, nestled just northwest of the Lake County Fairgrounds arena is a public facility dedicated to this very purpose. Known as the Lake County ATV Park, the site features a dedicated course for riders of two- and four-wheeled machines, running about a mile in overall length, said Fairgrounds Mgr. Don Moore. Access is just off Roberta Road, with ample parking, restroom facilities and even loading ramps
to ease in unloading their rides from their pickup trucks. A cursory gaze from just inside the gate reveals an ample array of twists, turns, hills and even a brief washboard segment for riders to test their own mettle, as well as that of their machines. An additional plus is the fact that the site is not locked up, and accessible at virtually any time. Moore noted that while the park may not be a proving ground for professional Supercross riders, it is still a valuable local recreational resource right in Lakeview residents’ virtual backyard. “It’s the only one within 150 miles in Oregon, or within 180 miles if you go to California,” Moore said. “It’s more of a family/ beginner site. I don’t think the difficulty is huge, but it can be challenging to (newcomers and beginners).”
In many communities, particularly in more urban areas, riders struggle in finding access to places to ride. More often than not, outside travel is required to enjoy their sport, but local residents have a resource available a veritable hop, skip and a jump away. With no admission charge, local riders have an option that is economically friendly, as well, Moore said. The course contains banks, hills, switchbacks, a few steep turns and occasional abrupt hills and crowns suitable in providing younger or new riders some thrills. From minibikes to four-wheelers, the course is ample for a variety GOOD RIDE of ATV vehicles, See page 6 Moore said.

GOOD RIDE From page 4 Trail widths of 20 feet accommodate more than one rider at a time, he said. Though too small for motocross racing, per se, Moore noted that there’s plenty of opportunity for families to come out and enjoy an afternoon of riding at the park. “If you have a day to spend with your kids and want to take their ATVs out – maybe a minibike or two – it’s a good place to spend an afternoon with the family,” Moore said. Former fairgrounds manager Teresa Thomas applied for an Oregon State Parks and Recreation grant for $185,000 for improvements to the park. The first phase, in the amount of just over $80,000, funded a new gravel road and widened the track by five feet. A few formation changes were added, along with a gravel parking lot and training area, Thomas said. The park could potentially serve as an economic development boon to outside tourism as well, he said, for folks in the region seeking a safe and enjoy-
A Google Earth map image from overhead reveals the ATV park’s course, which features a variety of straightaways, twists, turns and more. While not necessarily designed with expert or advanced riders in mind, the park is an accessible facility for casual ATV riders. able riding experience. “I think the main value of this is when a family goes to recreate with their vehicles, the main expense… is the fuel to
get to wherever they’re going,” Moore said. “It really cuts down the cost (of enjoying the sport).” Additional usage of the park includes serving as a test-
ing ground for youth ATV card evaluations. Scott Giblin of Lakeview oversees these evaluations on an average of once or twice a month, he said. The evaluations follow a two-hour class in which youths demonstrate proper riding techniques. Areas of testing include avoidance of roll-overs, following direction and primary basic operation utilizing hands-on skills in the field, Giblin said. A guidebook demonstrates proper versus improper techniques through illustrations, Giblin said. Youths learn how to properly shift their weight around for practical machine handling skills. The state standards for the course were set up by the 4-H organization, Giblin said. Students must be a minimum of 6 years of age to take the evaluation course, he said.

Playa is located on 35 acres near Summer Lake, amid central Lake County’s scenic landscape of wetlands, grass fields and more. Additional features on the property include a large pond and an organic garden. “Location is fundamental to what Playa’s all about,” Beauchamp said. Since May 2011, Playa has hosted a total of 59 residents since its inception. Residents hailed from Oregon, California, Arizona and even the east coast, Beauchamp said. Two types of residencies are available for writers, scientists, naturalists, and artists. Fellowship Residencies are awarded to individuals for a one- to two-month basis between mid-September and early December. These awards provide residencies and provisions for meals at no cost. Contributing Residencies, which are available from May 19 through Aug. 12, are available on a fee-basis for individuals and groups. Residents provide their own transportation, but their residency includes food, lodging and studios. “I think we’re really proud that we’re able to offer these creative people an opportunity to get away from it all,” Beauchamp said. “We’re also proud of the fact that we’re acquainting people (with the Lake County region).” More information on Playa’s PlayaPresents programs can be found online at http://www.playasummerlake.org/tag/playa-presents.

TOM ROHRER/ Lake County Examiner
Jerry’s Restaurant owners, Ivan and Cindy Pack, purchased the Lakeview diner in 2008, and have since brought the establishment up to standards, while still providing the same great food and service that the town has come to love.
Continued efforts from a now local couple have allowed for one of Lakeview’s most recognizable establishments to stay open for business. Since July of 2008, Jerry’s Restaurant, located in downtown has been under the management and ownership of Ivan and Cindy Pack, who have navigated the establishment through tough times towards a brighter, and more profitable future. Ivan, who has worked for the restaurant company for 20 years, was named general manager of the diner in 1998. By Tom Rohrer Lake County Examiner
He met Cindy soon after, and the couple has been married since 2003. Purchasing the restaurant was a big decision, both physically and financially for the couple. “We’ve had some tough times, due to the economy, personal health,” Cindy Pack said. “But we will make our last owed payment this summer and we have been able to function and stay afloat during the tough times.” During the tough economic times of the last four years, the couple almost relocated to Arizona. “We did not want to go to Arizona,” Ivan
Pack said, “We love this area and wanted to stay here.” The couple noted that a boost from the pipeliners involved in the Ruby Pipeline Construction was a huge plus for the establishment. “We didn’t turn away or look down upon the pipeliners,” Ivan Pack said. “We accepted them and treated them as one of our own, which the workers said was different from other communities. That’s one of our staples, we treat regulars EATERY and visitors the See page 16 same.”

EATERY From page 14 The restaurant company has changed Jerry’s to Black Bear restaurants at several locations along the west coast. The Pack’s had the option to change to Black Bear, but the cost to do so would be around $350,000. “Jerry’s is a familiar name in the community, and that name carries a lot of weight,” said Cindy Pack. “We want to keep that name and the familiarity.” While the couple seems to be on solid ground after a rough period, the restaurant still faces issues and the owners plan to take them on, on a day-to-day basis. “The economic times are still tough, and it’s important for our customers to know that, while we know the building needs improvements and touch ups, we don’t have the financial capabilities to do everything at once,” Cindy Pack said. “That being said, we are working on the improvements and it will be over a longer period of time than we would like, but that’s how it is.” Ivan agrees with his wife’s assessment. “We haven’t been able to overhaul as much as we would like because of the expenses,” Ivan Pack said. “We don’t want to overextend ourselves. We inherited an old building and a lot of old equipment. If something comes up, we have to replace it and that puts another project on the back burner.” As always, the Pack’s appreciate their customers loyalty and patience. “We know that there are some things that need to be done, and we really appreciate the patience, and continued support of our customers. They have been great.” Thanks to a great group of employees, the Jerry’s owners have been able to accomplish a lot despite a continually dwindling work force. “It can be hard to find suitable employees for some of our posi-

tions, and we have been very fortunate to hold on to our employees for as long as we’ve had,” Ivan Pack said. “They have initiative, drive and know what to do.” Ivan is also pleased with the improvements the restaurant has seen since he first arrived. “The cleanliness of our establishment is huge,” Pack said. “It’s a clean facility, the employees are clean. That’s not how it was when I first got here and that’s something I take a lot of pride in.” The Pack’s noted that Jerry’s has continually received high marks from health inspections and haven’t had a marked discrepancy for over three years. “We’ve brought the standards up tremendously,” Ivan Pack said. The restaurant continues to see high numbers of customers throughout the day, which the management credits to a terrific and friendly atmosphere. “The food is delicious, and that will not change,” Ivan Pack said. “Some may believe it to be simple, but it’s consistent and people love it.” “It’s just a friendly atmosphere with great service,” said Cindy Pack. “We want our employees to talk with everyone and bring the comfort level up for the customers and that’s what we’ve been able to do. Our customer base is great, but we get visitors as well and we like to be as friendly to everyone as possible.” Together, the couple has three kids and hopes to continue spending their lives in the area they love. “We just love the community, the outdoors, the friendly atmosphere around town,” said Ivan Pack. “I can’t imagine being anywhere else and we just appreciate the towns support so much.” Jerry’s Restaurant is located at 508 N. 2nd St. in Lakeview and can be reached at 541-947-2600.

pionships, by running the leadoff leg of the event. For the 2011 outdoor season, Hall earned a pair of allWAC honors by finishing in third place in the 800 meters at the league championships, along with taking second team all league honors as the second leg of the school’s runner up 4X400 meter relay team. So far in 2012, Hall has dealt with a nagging leg injury, but is expected to return to competition soon. Injuries can provide setbacks in college athletics, but there are a host of other issues to focus on. “I think the biggest difference between high school and college, not athletically, was how much time everything takes up,” Hall said. “You are either practicing, working out or focusing on school. It’s a challenge.” While there may be challenges along the way, it’s guaranteed all these athletes will face them head on.

Bells Ring — 100 Years Strong TILLIE FLYNN/ Lake County Examiner
St. Patrick’s Catholic Church celebrates its centennial this July. The church’s construction was completed in Dec. 1911, and dedicated in July 1912. By Ryan Bonham Lake County Examiner In virtually any community, churches can be considered a staple hub of sorts, generally speaking. In the case of Lakeview, there are multiple denominations represented within the realm of the local clergy to meet the spiritual needs of its residents. St. Patrick Catholic Church has held a presence in the spiritual and local physical community for the past 100 years, and is in the process of planning its centennial celebration this year. The drone of its majestic bells can be heard on Saturday evenings as well as Sunday mornings throughout town, and the church’s local history reflects the Catholic cultural heritage of the Irish immigrants that settled Lake County 100-plus years ago. Pat Patla, a member of the church, has
researched the church’s history in preparation for the forthcoming community celebration set for July. Patla’s research indicated that the first Irish man in Lake County was Michael McShane, who arrived in 1869 from County Armagh. Among the most common areas from which many Irish hailed were the counties Cork and Kerry, as well as County Limerick, according to Patla’s research. She said that many sources cited County Cork as the most common home for Lake County’s Irish settlers. She also noted that the Irish migration continued intermittently up until about 1950. “The significance for what we’re doing today is the Irish brought their Catholic
faith with them,” Patla said. “The Lakeview church is the mother church in Lake County.” The County Cork migration started around 1872 with the departure of the Sherlock brothers, who settled around Summer Lake to raise sheep, the dominant agricultural industry of the time. Patla said that traveling priests began traveling through Lake County during the 1880s, with the first resident pastor, Father Vasta, S.J., filling this role in 1907 in a house commonly known as “the slash.” Gradually, the congregation outgrew these 100 YEARS STRONG humble beginSee page 24 nings, Patla said,

Lake County Examiner File Photo
St. Patrick’s promoted their 2012 centennial celebration with a float in this year’s Irish Days parade on Saturday, March 17. The formal celebration was set for summer 2012. with public support for a dedicated church building growing following the shooting death of a local who hailed from County Cork. Much of the needed funding came in from local Irish sheep owners and herders, Patla said, along with donations from the Catholic Extension Society. The lot upon which the church sits was purchased by Father O’Malley for $2,000, with Nathan Purcell of Spokane, Wash., serving as architect. The church was completed in time for midnight mass in 1911, which was officiated by Father Mathias Schmitt.

St. Patrick’s Catholic Church was dedicated on July 14, 1912, with some 75 primarily native Irish residents present for the occasion, Patla said. A total of 11 of these individuals were confirmed that day. Throughout the years, additional improvements and additions came along, such as the addition of the Sacristy in 1940, and the parish hall was built in 1953. In Paisley, a remodeled school house was dedicated as “Our Lady of Lourdes” in 1918, replaced by a new building in 1959, Patla said. On the Westside, a chapel was dedicated to St. Joseph in 1920, and a church was also built in 1918 in Fort Rock; it was first dedicated to St. Rose of Lima and later named St. Bridget. Adel saw a mission church constructed in 1956 through a $10,000 donation from Bishop Cushing of Boston, Mass., Patla’s research revealed. This church’s dedication, once completed, was broadcast on television. Daisy Murphy of Plush donated $15,000 to help build a church in her community, dedicated in 1952 in honor of the apostle St. Thomas. Patla’s research included examination of several church bulletins from the 1917-22 era, which proved to be an educational experience in and of itself. “I really enjoyed finding these old Sunday bulletins and announcements,” she said. “For the most part, it’s general day-to-day business, but once in awhile there were remarks that reflected the attitudes (of the day).” St. Patrick’s centennial celebration will coincide with the original dedication dates this summer.

FLYING HIGH From page 26 a master falconer. Following the apprentice period, a falconer must undergo several state and federal tests in order to obtain master falconer status. On the tests, an applicant can score no lower than an 80 percent. “It’s a strict set of rules and tests, which I feel is very appropriate, considering the strength and tendencies of the animals involved,” Dwyer noted. Recently, Dwyer, who has worked at the animal hospital for the last six years, got her rehabbing license for birds. “I’m the bird lady at work,” Dwyer says. “If it’s something I can’t fix, I refer the individual to someone else or a bigger market.” Dwyer says it’s important she has skills in aviation rehabilitation and that it was something needed in the area. “For a while, people would come in with injured birds, not just pets, but ones they found injured in the wild and no one could do anything. That’s what I can provide now,” Dwyer sad. While her knowledge and skill with birds is good for business, her passion for the animals is all about enjoyment and fun. In order to bring in a bird such as a hawk as a pet, one must trap the animal in

Jeanine Dwyer, master falconer, helps release an injured red-tailed hawk. its adolescent stage. Trapping adult raptors is illegal. A trap for a hawk involves a series of nooses placed on a solid composite base. For bait, an injured or live mouse is placed below the barely visible nooses, which the hawk sees with its keen eyesight from above. The hawk then flies in, gets its talons stuck on the nooses and then comes home or to another owner. As with any companion, being with a hawk through its early development forges
a bond between owner and pet. “You get really attached with the animals and it’s vice versa too. You see them grow up and it’s hard to let them go,” Dwyer said. Dwyer noted that a red-tail she released within the last couple of years still fly’s around her house to pay the occasional visit. At her home located southwest of Lakeview, Dwyer has a sophisticated facility that allows her to house hawks of different varieties. Like with all pet owners, the day-today maintenance with hawks does provide a challenge. “ You have to watch their weight, record their weight,” Dwyer said of her dayto-day operations. “You’ve got to make sure you feed them everyday and that they stay healthy.” In the end however, the work is outweighed by the time Dwyer gets to spend with her feathered friends in the beautiful country of south central Oregon. “I take them out hunting as much as I can. It’s great to get outdoors, watch a pet take down a jackrabbit and then have it return to you. You feel a real sense of pride.” For more information on falconers in America, visit www.n-a-f-a.com.

THINK GREEN From page 30 The Tocols started the operation in July 2011, and response has been very favorable, Becky said. Since their initial start-up, they have collected 25,000 pounds of cardboard and paper, as well as 50,000 pounds of baling twine, 4,000 pounds of glass and have processed over 60,000 pounds of steel, Becky said. “We’ve collected more than I thought we would,” she said, “and people are more excited than I thought they would be.” Along with cardboard, plastics and other standard staple recyclable items, Becky said they also collect baling twine that is sent back east to Bridon Cordage. This effort is instrumental in keeping the landfill clear of troublesome twine, she said. Becky also noted that local residents now have a local option versus transporting recyclable materials to Bend. Successful efforts in the county are reflected in such examples as the Lake County Recycling Effort, a group dedicated to promotion and involved with the development of recycling programs. In 2007, the group received the Association of Oregon Recyclers Rural Recycling Initiative Special Award for their efforts. Jan Wright of Lakeview, a proponent of recycling programs and past active member of the Lake County Recycling Effort, said that it was Yvonne DeTorre who was instrumental in the establishment of the group circa 2003. A number of locals have been and/or continue to be involved in the group and with preserving recycling opportunities, Wright said. Key figures in the recycling movement included Emma Cornell, Karen Bunch, Bernie Burkholder, Janine Simms, Dona Harlan, Sandra Wenzel, Deb Goosev, Anna Heflin, Jim Cleland and Lorena Young, Wright said, among many others. “It is now an everyday word, here,” Wright said. “It’s about education, education, education.”

Shamrock Recyclers holds two collections day per month in Christmas Valley, which has been a successful effort over the past year, according to Becky and Terry Tocol. Baling twine is a major part of their recycling program. Dumilieu credited the Lake County Recycling Effort as a proactive group working to preserve Lake County’s beauty. “I think we’ve come a long ways,” he said. “I’m proud of where we are, and we’re not done. We’re going to get better. We’re excited about the future.” For more information, contact the Lake County Road Department at (541) 947-6048, Lakeview Sanitation at (541) 947-2891, or Shamrock Recyclers at (541) 408-1386.

Island Lessons in the Desert By Ryan Bonham Lake County Examiner Without a doubt, Lake County is a bit far removed from the Hawaiian islands; not just physically, but also from the cultural standpoint. That doesn’t stop locals in the Christmas Valley area from learning how to perform traditional Polynesian dances, thanks to Poniana “Poni” Van Handel, a native Hawaiian that teaches lessons each week. The lessons are held inside Sage Mountain Primitives, a local business owned by Deena Witherspoon and utilize an all-encompassing approach to cultural studies. Poni teaches students in four age categories, with the youngest being children between the ages of three and seven years. The lessons include an education on language, including basic phrases and such fundamentals as counting to ten. During the class, the tots display their proclivity to wiggling and shimmying, but Poni teaches through demonstration all the intricacies of traditional dancing, proving that there’s more to what most folks see as hula dancing than meets the eye. Clad in traditional skirts, the youngsters learn about balance, coordination and more. In light of the fact that teaching children of such high energy levels and still-developing attention spans can be not unlike herding cats, Poni is quick to direct their attention to the lessons at hand. Respect is a vital component of the learning process. Consequently, tardiness and absences are not taken lightly, three un-excused absences results in expulsion from the classes, Poni said. Classes open with stretching prior to engaging in the lessons, as is proper for engaging in any physical activity. The lessons are led in front of mirrors so that the participants can watch themselves as they practice the proper techniques as taught. For some exercises, the children place small bean bags on their head so as to practice proper bodily movement and to develop independent actions of upper and lower body segments.
RYAN BONHAM/ Lake County Examiner
Polynesian dance instructor Poniana “Poni” Van Handel demonstrates proper dance technique to a group of Christmas Valley youngsters during an afternoon lesson. Other techniques emphasize keeping one’s back straight while walking in a lowered position, keeping one’s motion as fluid as possible, with Poni encouraging slow, deliberate movement; moving

ISLAND LESSONS From page 34 too quickly tends to lead to improper technique. Originally hailing from Kauai, Poni moved to Christmas Valley with her husband about a year and a half ago. Though officially retired, Poni said that she’s taught dance for 20-plus years. Her husband is a maintenance engineer for St. Charles Hospital in Bend, and the couple has six daughters who also dance. She got her start in the northern Lake County area with a request for lessons by some local students. The initial request grew through rapid word-of-mouth passing through the swift local social pipeline. Poni started out with lessons in her home, eventually moving the lessons to the back room at Sage Mountain Primitives. At present, she’s teaching 31 students. “I do it to give them something to do, and I love my culture,” she said. “I try to teach the real serious importance of (the culture)… and I don’t teach

the ‘tourist’ way, because I learned from the best.” Poni said she’s been dancing since she was three years old, and she enjoys sharing such an important part of Polynesian culture with interested students and patrons. The core elements of the class emphasize things of value far beyond the act of dancing, Poni said, which is why she stresses respect and attentiveness from her students. “If they were to leave today and quit, I would expect the same respect outside the classroom,” she said. “Respect is big to me.” The feedback for the classes has proven to be very positive, Poni said, and she appreciates the level of interest shown by locals in her efforts to teach them about her culture. “Just that little bit of thanks makes it all worth it to me,” she said.

75+ Years Community Service RYAN BONHAM/ Lake County Examiner
By Ryan Bonham Lake County Examiner
A portion of the current Rotary Club of Lakeview roster includes, back row, l-r, Al Monaco, John Bogardus, Pete Talbott, Dee Brown, Bob Squires, Andrew Rucker, Dennis Mooney, Terry Utley and Carolyn Philpott. Front row, l-r, Bill Schrader, Vern Story, Charlie Tveit, Jerald Steward, Jim Huffstutter, Jim Walls, Larry Utley, Virginia Vernon, Don Liddycoat and Stan Wonderley.
Lakeview’s Rotary International Club celebrated a momentous benchmark in 2011, having reached its 75th anniversary as an active local service organization. Such an occasion is significant not just from the historical perspective, but also from the standpoint of the continued activity of the organization in supporting the local community each year. A celebratory dinner recognized this occasion in November of last year, featuring one of the organization’s 17 directors, Ken Boys, serving as a guest speaker during the evening gala occasion. The Rotary International organization’s roots date back to 1905, formed in Chicago, Ill., by Paul Harris. The name of the organization reflects the fledgling club’s rotation of meeting locations in its earliest days, according to the Rotary web site. The club’s growth spread quickly over the first decade, and, by 1921, there were clubs on six continents. According to
the club’s web site, by July 1925, there were more than 100,000 members and 2,000 clubs. Lakeview’s club received its charter on Oct. 30, 1936, under sponsorship of the Klamath Falls club, according to Georgie Ellen Boydstun Stephenson’s “The Growth of Lake County, Oregon.” A total of 19 charter members made up the initial roster: John O. Burcham, Dr. William Chisholm, C.J. Clause, Ernest A. Fetsch, C.B. Francis, W.O. Harriman, Clifton H. Howard, S.C. Lapham, Carl H. Lange, Howard M Nolte, A.J. Ousley, C.J. (Jeter) Gillette, A.B. Wilson, J.C. Clark, E.G. Favell, Dr. H.E. Kelty, Fred Reynolds, Dr. M.C. Sult, and Burt K. Snyder. Lakeview’s treasurer, Don Liddycoat, has been involved since 1981, serving in his current officer position off and on since 1982. The club’s annual Wild Goose Chase event has been a major fundraiser for local projects, he said. “All of the money stays here in Lake County,” he said.
“It’s a huge impact.” Goose Chase donations since 2001 amount to $145,362, with a variety of projects funded during that time. Such programs and projects have included AYSO soccer, the Lake County Fairgrounds, Lake District Hospital, the Lakeview Booster Club and much more. The club has also donated considerable out-of-pocket monies to local groups, organizations and projects, Liddycoat said. Between 1995 and 2010, these donations amounted to $155,869. Lakeview Rotary additionally has issued vocational scholarships to numerous area students through the years, Liddycoat said. Other programs through the years included the Polio Plus program, which raised $10,000 in 1986. Liddycoat said that priority one with the club is “community service above self.” “It takes everybody pulling together to get something done,” he said. The club’s current presi-
dent, John Bogardus, has been involved with the club since 1975. Larry Utley is the club’s newest member, he said. The club’s current membership stands at 38, Bogardus said, and he’s looking to raise that figure before the end of the current Rotary year, which runs from July 1 to June 30. “I think what we’re most proud of is giving money back to the community,” Bogardus said. “My goal is to get the club to 40 (members).” The Rotary’s Wild Goose Chase race, held each year on July 4, will this year donate $9,000 to the Lake County Youth Mentor Program, with any funds in excess of this amount benefitting the Town of Lakeview’s water tank restoration project. The Lakeview Rotary meets weekly at the Lakeview Elks Lodge at noon on Wednesdays. For more information, contact Don Liddycoat at (541) 947-3636 or John Bogardus at (541) 947-3355.

TOM ROHRER/ Lake County Examiner
Owners of the 39er Card and Bargain Store since 2008, Mike and Terri Beeson are happy to provide continued service to the Lakeview community they have grown to love. By Tom Rohrer Lake County Examiner Lake County and its various towns have a way of pulling in outsiders towards their charm and friendly atmosphere. That pull has worked on Mike and Terri Beeson, a Klamath Falls couple who have owned and operated a Lakeview store for nearly half a decade. For the last four years, the Beeson’s have run the 39er Card and Bargain Store in downtown Lakeview, a store that provides customers with a collection of products that tailor to all ages, tastes and needs. “We have a variety of products and consistent sales, so I think we reach a wide group of people around town,” Mike said. The Beesons, familiar with the area through Mike’s businesses and connections for the last 30 plus years, saw an opportunity in the community to open and run a successful store. “We saw an opening in the community,” Terri said. “And it has really paid off. We have the largest party section in Eastern Oregon, our 39 cent greeting cards are
very popular and we are one of the biggest distributors of Melissa and Doug toys in the entire state.” Mike Beeson noted that family clothing, from socks and underwear to sweaters, remain some of the stores most popular products. “I think we have a great collection of clothing,” said Terri. “People really respond to our fall line and inventory and that’s terrific.” The couple believes a strong, and unified, group of store employees is vital to the establishment’s success. “It’s a very close knit group around here,” Mike said. “Everyone works really hard, we are all friendly with one another and the customers. We all get a long and that is huge in this business.” Strong customer service, sometimes forgotten in the digital age, is a priority at the store. “We need to keep connecting with the community and each person who walks in,”
Mike said. “If we don’t have positive customer service, we don’t have a customer base. It is vital.” Beeson also believes the stores relationships with other local communities bolster the stores economy as well. “This building has been owned by the Fetschs since the 1900’s and they have always been great,” Mike said. “We like to advertise with the paper, with KLCR and those are great people to do business with. Without them we would be in trouble and in a different situation.” While the Beeson’s are residents in Klamath Falls, they know the importance of local businesses in the Lakeview area and why it is vital for it’s residents to shop locally. “We’ve always been a huge proponent of shopping local and keeping the SPICE OF LAKEVIEW town’s economy See page 44 going,” Mike

SPICE OF LAKEVIEW From page 42 said. “With a town like this, it’s important for citizens to buy needed products locally if possible. If someone comes into the store and we don’t have what they are looking for, I send them somewhere else in town that will or may have it.” Terri says the couple does their part to spend local. “When we stay here, we stay in local motels, we buy foods from local businesses,” Terri said. “Our thought is, if it’s available in Lakeview, buy it in Lakeview.” To keep a positive relationship with the rest of the community, the Beesons have been involved with a number of local groups and organizations. “This community is very special to us,” Terri said. “And it’s important to have a connection with your customer base. Actually, we believe they are our friends, and it’s easy to have a connection with people you care about.” Mike echoes his wife’s thoughts, “We’ve donated to a lot
of churches and local causes,” Mike said, “Things such as cancer research, cancer treatment travel funds and Lakeview High School. We believe in helping youth and whether it has been in Klamath Falls or Lakeview, we like to donate and sponsor positive activities such as athletics. It’s great to set the foundation up for the future of the communities.” Mike noted that he has also served on school and Little League boards in the past. A couple that has seen success in their professional lives, the Beeson’s have been able to flourish in Lakeview thanks to a strong family foundation. “We’ve been married 40 years, have had three children together,” Terri said. “The trust and caring have always been there. That has carried over into this business and allowed for success.” The couple has also been able to carve out a niche in an area they have grown to love. “This area has definitely

MULTI-GRADE TEACHING From page 46 patience,” she said. “Of course, in this small area, it’s more like a family of kids.” The school’s state testing ranks in equivalency to some of the highest figures in the state, Safford said. Due to the extremely small population of the local community, the results of the testing are not published, but the district’s administration provides an extension of how the data would compare to other schools. As a result, Stateline School’s students consistently rank higher than the established state educational goals, Safford said. “I think all of our kids, academically, do better than larger sites where they have one grade or two grades in each classroom,” she said. “Because of our size, we treat them more like family.” Patti Carpenter teaches grades K through 5, and has invested about 17 years with the school. She started teaching there in 1979, focusing on grades 4 through 8 for three years and

Carpenter noted that the educational standards mandated by the state are a primary change through the years; particularly the expectations for kindergarten and first grade. “It’s a very rigorous standard in California,” she said.

“Success Breeds Success”
“You’re working toward more standards at all times.” Carpenter said that the school has held a presence in New Pine Creek since 1900, though the old school house was originally elsewhere. The current site has housed the school since 1967, she said. Ongoing challenges include
the fate of the Secure Rural Schools and Community SelfDetermination Act, Carpenter said. “We run a bare-bones program,” she said. “That’s a big chunk of money out of our district each year.” Previously, there were small schools similar to Stateline in Canby and Likely, Calif., but the Canby school closed three years ago. Likely’s school is slated to close at the end of the current school year. Key for the school’s continued operation is a highly supportive community, Carpenter said. Fundraising efforts support outdoor education field trip programs each spring, as well as general operations at the school.

FISHER KING From page 50 gravel road that meandered with the water, Duckworth would talk about individual sections like he was describing his living room. Comments like, “Had some great fishing there one day,” or “That’s a nice sized pool there,” filled the car ride. Duckworth noted that many of the river’s best spots that are open to the public are unknown, due to lack of exploration or ignorance of the sport. “A lot of people don’t realize these places have fish,” Duckworth said while smoking a cigarette. “They think they know the water or what lives there or what doesn’t, but you don’t know till you try, and I’ve tried all along here.” We arrived at our spot, an unknown driveway on some private land that Duckworth had the permission to enter. It couldn’t have been a nicer day, as a cool breeze echoed through the meadow and to the river, allowing a little relief from the heat and the glare. We caromed down to river, where Duckworth asked to see my cast. As a city boy from Olympia, Wash., I am considered, among my urban friends, to be an able caster, one who could target a rising trout on the rise with a effortless flick of the wrist.
Not the case, as my line pathetically soared with a snapping noise at its conclusion, causing every intelligent fish to chuckle up some air bubbles. Duckworth laughed, as he began to realize the ability of that day’s newest greenhorn. Throughout the day, Duckworth helped me tailor a new casting technique, told me where to set the fly, and showed me how to tie more effective knots. Though we started in the same location, Duckworth and I spread out along the river throughout the day. When I finally hooked a 10-inch fish, my enthusiastic screams brought Larry back to my catch. Upon hearing the size of the fish I caught, Duckworth said with a chuckle,
“You need to fish more.” While I got tens of bites throughout the day, I did not land another fish. However, I was thankful even to get the nibbles. Meanwhile, Larry landed several fish, at sizes I would be very happy to claim. However, it was clear Duckworth had been there before, and he contentedly unhooked the fish, un-fazed by their mass. “Nothing special,” Duckworth said as he dropped a bigger fish back into the cold water that was bigger than any found on my line’s history. Eventually, the day ended with me landing very few fish, and letting more get away. If only, I thought, I could always have Duckworth over my line and pole, instructing me with his calm and experienced demeanor. Be happy, fish of Oregon rivers, for Duckworth probably won’t be present on any more trips to the bank with this tall novice. All in all it was an incredible experience, with a kind and very experienced angler, that this writer will never forget it.

Medical
Educational Opportunities RYAN BONHAM/ Lake County Examiner
RN and patient care coordinator Carly Alves and RN Alan Munhall have benefitted from continuing education opportunities. By Ryan Bonham Lake County Examiner Indeed, it’s possible to learn something new every day. Lake Health District has fixtures in place to help medical staff continue to improve in their respective fields through funding for continuing education opportunities. Lake District Hospital’s chief executive officer, Gordon Ensley, said that educational opportunities serve as a professional as well as recruiting tool for the district. “We have, in our rural (location), historically been challenged to recruit and retain nurses and, on a broader (scale), medical professionals,” Ensley said. “It’s been easier, for whatever reason, to recruit locally… in the non-clinical positions.” The primary funding sources for educational training included the Collins McDonald Trust Fund and the Patricia Geaney Johnson fund. The latter fund was established solely for the purpose in aiding nurse training, Ensley said. Eligibility for training funds usually mandate that a candidate is a Lake County resident or have parents that reside in the county and that the candidate is a graduate of a Lake County high school, though exceptions have been made. The Patricia Geaney Johnson fund is utilized for other training and educational applications. Examples have included certifications for coding
and transcription as well as nutritional areas, Ensley said. Training programs and opportunities were initially restricted to registered nurses, Ensley said, but have evolved to include physical therapy, pharmacy technicians, medical laboratory technicians, x-ray technicians and more. The district board prioritizes which clinical professionals are most in need for these programs, Ensley said. “Our focus is trying to help with retention…,” he said. “Folks with roots in the community are more likely to be with us five or 10 years later.” Carly Alves, a registered nurse and patient care coordinator for Lake District Hospital, is currently pursuing her masters nursing degree in health care systems management through Loyola University New Orleans. Alves has worked for the hospital since 1999, and said that her continued education is a long-standing personal goal. The hospital paid for her first term’s tuition, she said, and after her first term was allowed to pursue full-time studies, which then qualified her for Collins-McDonald funding. Alves said that part of her requirements in pursuing additional higher education was to be able to remain in the community. “That’s always been my mission, to stay here in Lakeview at the hospital and serve the
community,” she said. Her decision to pursue her master’s degree largely was spurred by expanding her health care leadership skills and broadening her perspective. Alves also said that she appreciates the opportunities afforded by the district to do just that. “I am very pleased with the way the hospital supports their own,” she said. “The hospital is doing everything they can.” The availability of such programs has helped to retain a stable work force, Ensley said, as well as keep up to date on advanced certifications. Varied certifications are a must for staffers in a rural facility such as Lake District Hospital, given the variance of required duties. “I think it’s been a real benefit having this loan program available in the community,” Ensley said. “We need people who enjoy the diversity of the environment of a rural (medical) community… Consequently, our community benefits from many of our own being able to remain in the community and contribute.” Alan Munhall completed an RN program about two years ago, thanks to a distance learning program available through Oregon Health Sciences University and the Oregon Consortium for Nursing Education. Previously a fish biologist for 30 years at the Bureau of Land Management, Munhall’s interest in the medical profes-
sion was partially spurred by his 14 years as an emergency medical technician (EMT) with the Lakeview Disaster Unit. Munhall completed his associate’s degree in the registered nurse training program in 2010. The distance learning program was sponsored by Mt. Hood Community College, and he committed to two years with the Lake District Hospital in exchange as part of the training. Additional training includes certification as an emergency nurse and training in obstetrics for certification in deliveries, Munhall said. “Basically, for me, it’s going to be getting more intensive, focused trainings so as to be a more complete (staff member) at the hospital,” Munhall said. The nursing program allowed Munhall to remain in the community, and the additional training – specifically his emergency nurse certification – allows for better assessment of patients and the opportunity to work with physicians in providing the utmost in patient care. “Without that continuing education… I think it would be fairly easy to stagnate,” Munhall said. “Lakeview seems to be a lot more progressive and to a certain degree demanding (on maintaining current certifications).” For more information contact Lake Health District at 541947-2114.

When it comes to rural living, support networks are an absolute must in just about every facet of day-to-day life. One generally does not have to look very far to find a helping hand, and this philosophy applies to not only neighbors looking out for one another, but also with agencies such as the Lake County Education Service District. The Lake County ESD provides a variety of supplementary services not funded or covered by Lake County’s school districts. Supt. Alice Hunsaker said that the ESD, which is flat-funded by the state, provides four primary areas of focus in its mission objectives. These areas include services for special needs students, school improvement, technology and administrative services for local districts. “In our case, our greatest portion of our budget is spent at facilitating schools and meeting the needs for special needs students,” Hunsaker said. Broken down into additional specifics, Hunsaker noted that special needs services include child psychology, counseling, speech services, assistance for students with autism, general special education case management, and administrative record keeping for the ESD’s special education protocol. Autism is not common enough in Lake County to fund a dedicated program, Hunsaker said, so one ESD staff member serves this component as well as students with language needs.
“All of the positions we have here at the ESD… are highly specific and high demand both around our state and our county and that makes (their) value even higher around our districts,” Hunsaker said. The Lake County ESD also oversees the Lake County Youth Mentor Program, Hunsaker said, which operates out of the ESD office and is funded by a private grant as well as in-kind funding. Hunsaker is the administrative supervisor for this program. “One of the obvious advantages of the partnerships is… it’s allowed the mentorship program to establish itself more quickly with the school districts,” Hunsaker said. Regional needs are often examined by the ESD to determine what services are specifically needed by district throughout the county, she said. The Lake County ESD is funded at a floor rate of $1 million per year, Hunsaker said, a large differentiation from typical school districts that are funded on a basis of average daily membership (ADM) tax dollars. The advantage of this funding mechanism is that it provides a degree of stability for planning purposes, she noted. The five smallest ESDs — which includes those in Harney, Grant, Wallowa, and the North-Central ESD serving Gilliam and Morrow counties — in the state are funded with this flat rate. The ESD’s value to local school districts includes average evaluations and monthly superintendent and administrator meetings in which issues of common con-
cern are discussed. These meetings are also a gathering place for needed prioritization by the ESD, Hunsaker said. In planning for the future, Hunsaker is involved with the Oregon Association of Education Service Districts, an organization that has a substantial voice with the state’s legislative leadership. “ESDs believe we are an appropriate conduit for implementation of some of the new programs I believe we’re going to see in the next 18 months as a result of the governor’s vision…,” Hunsaker said, “and the Oregon Educational Investment Board.” Hunsaker said that such new programs include the Oregon Achievement Compact, a written agreement with districts that outline concrete goals for student performance. The ESD’s budgeting process is generally finished by March 1 each year, which allows other districts to factor in what services will be available in the coming fiscal year as they prepare their own budgets, Hunsaker said. The ESD staff currently numbers 17 in total. A major role for the ESD is to facilitate staff development requirements, which are changing on a rapid basis, Hunsaker said. “We want to facilitate (helping students growth) the most we can, across the county,” she said.

By Ryan Bonham Lake County Examiner In the event of emergency scenarios, communications are all the more a vital logistical element. Though technology has come a long way in developing newer, faster and more streamlined means of communications, there are some instances where additional options are needed. Amateur radio operations play an important role in situations where telecommunications are down and communication needs to be relayed for emergency services and the coordination of event management. The Lake County Amateur Radio Club fulfills this role. The club’s vice-president, Rob Thornton, serves as an emergency coordinator for Lake County, and said that the club was formed within the last three to four years. Additional officers include Greg Hall as president and Patrick Rouch as secretary. “We’ve always been associating with each other as hams,” Thornton said, referring to the common nickname of amateur radio operators. Thornton said that the three officers began by helping each other out in building their equipment, such as antennas. In more recent years, the club has become able to offer amateur radio licensing testing locally, whereas previously test-takers had to travel outside the area. Thornton noted that there are three licenses available for am-

ateur radio operators: technicians, general and extra. Each of the tests represents an increasing tier of difficulty, he said. Roach serves as a communications specialist for Lake County Search and Rescue, Thornton said, providing relay work for searchers working on the ground. His truck is equipped with sufficient equipment to communicate with radio operators anywhere in the world. Thornton said that, in the event of an emergency, an incident command system of management is implemented for proper management and administration of coordinated efforts. Amateur radio operators administer communications as directed by local emergency services officials, such as fire and police. Amateur radio stations are set up at both the Lake County Search and Rescue building as well as Lake District Hospital, Thornton said.

COMMUNICATIONS From page 58 station at St. Charles Hospital in Bend, he said. In the event of a lack of telephone communication, the amateur radio operations can coordinate air transport and transmit xrays and patient profiles to the Bend medical facility in a binary format by way of calls signs, Thornton said. All involved with the system must be certified in class 100, 200 and 700 for operations, Thornton said, for which each class has a separate testing session. Thornton is certified as an accredited volunteer and also holds an ‘extra’ class status and as such can administer amateur radio operations tests locally. A testing session was held on Saturday, April 7, at the Lakeview Elks Lodge. Once an applicant has passed their test, the FCC issues a paper license and a call sign for that individual operator, Thornton said. “As you increase your licenses, you get more bands to play on,” he said. The club is currently working closely with organizers for an off-road race in the Paisley area planned for 2013, Thornton said. The group has also assisted with the Snowflake Festival in Klamath Falls. Thornton said he’s a 30-plus year veteran as an amateur radio operator, mentoring under a local mill worker and radio operator named Ed McCracken. Thornton recalled learning basic theory and receiving his novice check under McCracken. He gradually passed his novice, technician, general, advanced and extra licensing tests. The advantages to amateur radio operations, Thornton said, it may be utilized for any type of event and any type of communications. As for the club, Thornton said that any interested parties are

For 29 years, Jim Huffstutter has operated Ousley Osterman Huffstutter Funeral Chapel in Lakeview. This May marks the 100th year anniversary for the chapel. Pictured, l-r, Charlene and Jim Huffstutter.
By Tom Rohrer Lake County Examiner
As Lake County citizens know all too well, death is a part of life’s cycle, and is a unstoppable truth that must be faced. For 100 years one Lakeview area business has helped county citizens face that harsh truth. Since 1912, Ousley Osterman Huffstutter Funeral Chapel has operated in Lakeview, providing services to the Lake County area and beyond. The business began when Abner Ousley, a Lake County settler from Iowa, purchased a mortuary from a Mr. Wallace. Ousley, who was born in Iowa on March 22 in 1887, originally started as a concrete finisher, building some of the earliest sidewalks in the Lakeview area. He operated the business up until his
Long-Time Business Still Serves Community sudden death in April of 1944, when his son Jimmy Ousley took over. Jimmy Ousley ran the chapel until 1947 when it was purchased by Everett Osterman and his wife Myrtle. Myrtle died a few years later and Everett continued the business with his second wife Dorothy. In May of 1983, the business was taken over by Jim Huffstutter, who for the last 29 years has continued the business’s tradition on excellence. “It’s been an honor to serve such an amazing community and such amazing people,” Jim Huffstutter said. “To be a part of such a rich tradition is truly an honor.” Huffstutter, who had been in the business since the early 1970’s and late 1960’s
at locations in Portland and Corvallis, first came to Lakeview when he was approached to perform funeral services in December of 1982. According to Jim Huffstutter, he was approached by a Lakeview native living in Corvallis to perform the funeral arrangement for her deceased mother, who passed away late in 1982. Huffstutter performed the services, which were held at St. Patrick Church in downtown Lakeview, and immediately fell in love with the area, despite harsh weather conditions. “When we came into town, it was absolutely LONG-TIME BUSINESS See page 64 blowing snow,”

LONG-TIME BUSINESS From page 62 Jim Huffstutter said. “But we could see how gorgeous the area was and the great morals of all the citizens we met.” Just a few months later, on May 1, 1983, Huffstutter had purchased and taken ownership of the business and hasn’t looked back since. “It has been very special to be part of this community and moving down here has been a big blessing for us,” Charlene Huffstutter said. The Huffstutter’s met in 1964, and were married years later. The strong bond between the two is a testament to their morals and hard-work ethic. “The thing about Charlene and Jim is that we compliment one another,” Jim Huffstutter said. “I think that’s a big reason to why we’re successful and why we are productive.” As one of the few funeral services providers in all of Lake County, the Huffstutter’s have maintained a very personal relationship with the area’s citizens. Those relationships many times come and go, one of the characteristics of the job. “I would say that the longer you know people, the more difficult it is to face their passing,” Jim Huffstutter said. “When I
worked in Portland, it was different, there wasn’t that close connection.” “When you know people at a closer level, one where they are considered as family, it’s hard to see that personal relationship come to an end,” Charlene Huffstutter says. “But that is part of the job, part of being involved in the community.” While the Huffstutter’s professional occupation is an important part of their lives, it’s not the only passion they have. “We love and enjoy serving the community in many different ways,” Jim Huffstutter said. “And one of those ways is cooking.” Consistently, the Huffstutter’s display their culinary expertise, whether it be for the Kinight of Columbus Dinner, the Irish Days Celebration or at the Lake County Expo. “What a great hobby,” Charlene Huffstutter said of the couple’s chef tendencies. “It’s a great way to bring people together and have social interaction.” The couple credits their professional and social success on the Lake County area’s hardwork ethic and friendly morals. “We’ve raised two children, and they received an excellent education from the

area schools,” Jim Huffstutter said. “Both were Daly Fund and Collins-McDonald recipients and were able to obtain masters degrees in college. It all started here.” The 29 years has given the couple some perspective, and a purpose as to how they fit in the community. “We are 29 years a part of this business and that is very significant,” Charlene Huffstutter said. “We are very excited.” While 29 years is long time, it doesn’t appear the Huffstutters will be closing up show anytime soon. “We just want to thank our clientele for the opportunity to live and work in such a great area,” Jim Huffstutter said. “We will continue to work and serve the community as long as health will allow us. We love what we are doing.” When working at a funeral home in Corvallis, Jim’s boss gave him wise words about this business, he told Huffstutter, “service with integrity is our business”, Huffstutter took that to heart and uses it as a motto for his funeral chapel. Ousley Osterman Huffstutter Funeral Chapel is located at 410 Center St. in Lakeview and can be reached at 541-947-3264.

The town received a $77,500 grant from the state’s parks and recreation department as a primary funding source for the project, Simms said, and part of the requirements is to have the project completed and on the ground by June 30, 2013. Additional funding came through the county in Title II dollars the amount of $16,000, Simms said. The hope is to get the project mostly complete this year, should unforeseen circumstances delay its progress and necessitate finishing in the spring of 2013, Simms said. The desire is to avoid car-
rying over funding needs into the next year, he added. Work didn’t commence on the project in 2011 due to the continued work on the Ruby Pipeline project, which saw considerable traffic passing through the Bullard Canyon area. “We didn’t want to add congestion up there last summer,” Simms said.

CONNECTION From page 68 Lakeview Public Swimming Pool and ending near the Bullard Canyon/Norm May Shooting Range parking area. The trail will primarily follow along the Deadman side of the mountain and drop down along Bullard Creek, Simms said. The trail will provide a link to the Fremont-Winema recreational trail that passes through Roggers Meadow, Simms said, as well as a safe hiking alternative for hikers that do not wish to walk along the primary Bullard Canyon road. Simms said that the trail’s end point near the Bullard Canyon/Norm May Shooting Range connects with a semi-improved road that links with the Fremont National Recreational Trail’s southernmost component. The distance from the road to the Fremont trail is about three miles, Simms said. The Fremont National Recreational Trail is a recreational trail traversing the majority of the Fremont-Winema National
Forest from north to south, according to the U.S. Forest Service website. It starts in the north at Yamsay Mountain and traverses Hagar Mountain, while the southernmost component encompasses territory from Crane Mountain all the way south to the California border. For more information on the Fremont National Recreational Trail, visit http://www. fs.usda.gov. For additional information on the Bullard Canyon Recreational Trail project, contact Town Hall, located at 525 N. 1st St., at (541) 947-2029.
Bullard Canyon recreational trail project will have an indirect link into the Fremont National Recreational Trail system on the latter’s southernmost component, which passes through the Warner Mountains all the way south to the California border.

Since the group’s inception, the High Country 4-Wheelers will soon become members of the Pacific Northwest 4-Wheel Drive association, which combines similar groups from Oregon, Washington and Idaho. “That will just be another step forward for us.” While Crandall is happy with 15 members, he knows there is more interest out in the community and believes that as the economy improves, so will the group. “Is it what I expected?” Crandall said. “Yeah, I think 15 is a solid number for right now. Of course we want to expand, and I think the membership fees are a challenge for some people to meet, especially in this economy. A lot of people have families and bills and what not, so to expect everyone to be able to put the money up quickly is unfair.” To help generate interest in 4 WHEEL STYLE his organization, See page 74 Crandall has had

Crandall said that he has

“We need to keep pushing for community events and to make it well known that we want to have fun and put ourselves on display for the community.” To keep such a club going, the landscape must provide the proper terrain and land.

And sure enough, the Lake County area provides just that. “Everyone will tell you that one of the reasons they live in this area is because of the wilderness, because of the natural beauty,” Crandall said. “That’s part of the reason why we enjoy to ride. We all love to get out in this beautiful terrain and explore, and what better way to do so than in a 4-wheel vehicle. And it’s an all seasons activity, so it can be enjoyed any time of year.” Off-road, 4-wheel driving is very much a family affair for Crandall. “This is something important in our family, something my sons and I enjoy together,” Crandall said. “It’s not just the riding, its setting up the vehicle, scouting out the terrain, planning out a trip. It’s all part of the activity and what makes it great.” For more information on the High Country 4-Wheelers, contact Alaric Crandall at 541205-2837.

Everybody Wins with Mentor Program
SUBMITTED PHOTO
Those involved in the Lake County Youth Mentor Program are encouraged to try new activities together. Mentor Roger Miles (right) teaches his mentee Jacy Blair the techniques of boxing.
By Tom Rohrer Lake County Examiner From ages six to 18, adolescents face constant challenges on the road to young adulthood. Whether it be academic pressures, social development or a need for companionship, the younger citizens of the country are always in need of guidance. Thanks to the efforts of one Lake County non-profit organization, those youth in need of a friend now have the opportunity. The Lake County Youth Mentor Program, which was started in July of 2010, has 43 mentors throughout the county, volunteering to help make a special impact in the lives of their new-found friend. The mission of the Lake County Youth Mentor Program is “Connecting Lake County youth with caring adult mentors to enhance academic and personal achievement.” While the ultimate goal is academic success, most mentoring takes place outside the structured classroom-type environment. Mentor’s can utilize a variety of methods to develop the mentor-
ing relationship, including sharing personal skills and hobbies. A lot of focus is spent on helping youths to develop skills such as good boundaries, time management, improved study habits, strong communication, positive peer relationships, and respect for self and others. Mentors can work with students one-on-one, in small groups, or in large groups. While mentors are encouraged to engage in a variety of activities throughout the week, a minimum of one hour of interaction is required per week. The program is focused on the benefit and development of the youth, but many times, the mentor experiences personal growth and fulfillment as well. “I think it’s just as beneficial and as fun for me, as it is for my mentee,” said Lakeview citizen David Wade, a mentor in the program for over a year. “It’s a mutual friendship, and as you spend more time together, that friendship only grows.”

WINNERS From page 76 In July of 2010, the program received a $145,000 grant from OCF RAI Fund-Southern Oregon Region of the Oregon Community Foundation. The grant was given to the Lake County ESD for year two funding of the mentor program, and according to the official document, the grant objectives are “to link adult mentors with youth throughout Lake County, grades K-12, to encourage academic success, reduce absenteeism and delinquency, and instill a desire to prepare for career success”. Last July, the program received $9,950 grant from the Oregon Commission on Children and Families along with an additional $5,000 from the Lakeview Rotary Club that same month. When interested volunteers go into training and orientation for the program, Kathy Miles, the youth mentor coordinator, provides a parallel story of a an old man walking along the beach, who sees a young boy throwing beached starfish back into the sea. In the story, the old man asks the younger beach dweller why he is throwing the animals back into the sea, to which the boy replies that the starfish will all die if they are exposed to the sun. The old man looks around the beach,
see’s thousands of star fish, and says, “But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can’t possibly make a difference”. At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said, “It made a difference for that one.” Miles, and the rest of the volunteers in the program, know that there are many other young citizens in Lake County that are in need of similar assistance. However, it’s a one child at a time process, and volunteers are proud of the profound difference they make, even if only for one individual. “It puts a smile on your face, knowing you are helping them out, that you are making a difference,” says mentor Frankie Manibusan. But Manibusan knows it’s a two way street. “At the same time, they are helping us, you know?” Manibusan said. “We are impacted just as much by them.” Personally, this writer has been a volunteer mentor since last October, and have had the great honor of participating in a beneficial relationship with a newfound friend.
While I may be twice the age of my counterpart, the standout youth teaches me new things, intentionally and unintentionally, every time we interact. Thanks to a huge response from the Lake County community, the program is spreading north. Currently, there is a monthly Paisley activity night on the last Thursday of the month from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. for youth grades 5-8. Miles stresses the need for more mentors in the Paisley area. Through the program, all mentees and mentors are encouraged to participate in group activities together, such as the Sham Run/Walk, donkey basketball at Lakeview High School, and the Lake County’s Got Talent Show, which was a fundraiser for the group. Fun activities are beneficial, but in the end, the program’s most important impact is on the youth it serves. “Knowing you made an impact in their lives, and could benefit their future, that’s a huge accomplishment,” Wade said. The Lake County Youth Mentor Program is always looking for new volunteers. For more information, contact Kathy Miles at 541-947-4880 or the Lake County ESD at 541-947-3371.

The Construction Class at Lakeview High School constructed eight cat shelters, which were donated to the Oregon Outback Humane Society for their trapneuter-return program. Pictured, Terry Cahill, l-r, Logan Staub, Reid Martin, Kelton VanHoesen, Riel Engelhart and instructor B.J. Albertson. When a classroom lesson turns into a benefit for the community, everybody wins. Thanks to the efforts of the Oregon Outback Humane Society, the Construction Class at Lakeview High School, and an anonymous donor, feral cats in the Lakeview area now have a place to hide out from inclement weather. In January, BJ Albertson’s Construction Class at Lakeview High School constructed eight cat shelters, which were donated to the Oregon Outback Humane Society (OOHS) for their trap-neuter-return program. Albertson was approached about the matter by Cathy Rogers, an OOHS volunteer. After a colony of “community” (feral) cats are neutered/ spayed, OOHS places these shelters at the colony sites to help protect the cats from inclement weather. These houses encourage good neighbor relations between caregivers and other people in their area. This is just one component in the effort to improve the quality of life of cats and to reduce the problem of cat overpopulation in Lake County. Along with the eight con-
structed by LHS students, 20 more shelters were constructed and donated to the OOHS from an anonymous donor. The Lakeview students appreciate the opportunity to learn new construction techniques, while being able to help the community. “It was a really fun project,” said construction class student and Lakeview High School senior Terry Cahill. “I think everyone enjoyed it even more so because we knew it was for a good cause.” “I don’t think there is anyone out there that doesn’t like cats or animals,” said LHS junior Reid Martin, another member of the class. “It makes you think what would happen if these animals didn’t have the structures.” Albertson’s classes in the past have assembled and constructed various projects for several community organizations including the Lakeview Lions Club and the Lake County School District. Similar projects may be on their way in the future. “I think there is the potential to do more work with the Humane Society,” Albertson

said. “I cant say for sure, but it was a good start.” Materials for these shelters were provided by Pro-Build of Lakeview and an anonymous donor. Dane Strauss, Pro-Build general manager, jumped at the opportunity to participate. “It’s an easy decision. It helps the community and the schools,” Strauss said. The trap-neuter-return program was initiated in Lake County in November of 2010. Last fall, thanks to a collection of OOHS volunteers, five kittens, which were living under a modular building temporarily used for the Ruby Pipeline Construction, were saved before the buildings demolition. According to the fall 2011 OOHS newsletter, the help the organization provides is “assistance spraying/neutering, providing insulated cats houses and pets food to help the people caring for them.” Rogers was pleased with the project’s outcome, and thankful for the continued help from the community. “It just goes to show what the people, institutions and education around Lake County are all about,” Rogers said. “To re-
ceive help from hard working students and an anonymous donor, what more can you ask for? It’s been a huge blessing.” The trap-neuter-return program is one of several programs offered by the OOHS. Others include the companion animal spay neuter program, stray cat snip trips, pet food share, community pet days, and pet friendly rental/ rental friendly pets. OOHS is an independent, private, all volunteer organization. OOHS is not affiliated with any national or regional organization and receives no direct financial support from any national or regional organizations. OOHS receives no financial support from any tax dollars either. OOHS relies on private donations from individuals and businesses to provide their life saving programs. One hundred percent of the funds go to help animals and people in Lake County. For more about OOHS’s programs, including Trap Neuter Return, or to make a donation visit their website at www. oregonoutbackhumane.org.

Tall Town Gunslingers SUBMITTED PHOTO
Contestants at a sanctioned Cowboy Fast Draw Event let their weapons go off during a competition last Summer. The Cowboy Fast Draw Association will hold several competitions throughout the country, including two in Oregon this summer. By Tom Rohrer Lake County Examiner Long gone are the days of old, when disputes would be settled with pistols on a dusty street at High Noon, as tumble weeds blew by the landscape. Pistol duels may no longer be socially accepted, but a small group of gunslinger enthusiasts are trying to bring the sport of dueling into Lake County. In the last two years, Lakeview area citizens Dan Hollars and Roger Poppino have started up the Tall Town Gunslingers, a non-sanctioned group looking to get more members. “We need at least 12 members to get sanctioned, and we only have myself and Dan,” said Roger Poppino. “I think the demand and interest is out there and the members will eventually come.” To help bolster and pro-
mote the group, the Tall Town Gunslingers set up a booth at the Lake County Gun Show last March. The group wanted to provide visitors a chance to participate in a shooting contest, but liability issues would not allow it. Still, the group members are happy with the exposure they received from the event. “That’s the main focus right now, is getting members,” Hollars said. “And we got a lot of interest at the gun show and that is very encouraging. It shows people in the area have a genuine interest.” Gunslinger groups fall under a regional group, which in turn falls under a global group. If the Gunslingers gain 12 members, they will be part of the Treasure Valley Gunslingers out of Caldwell Idaho.

Roger Poppino, l-r, and Dan Hollars recently formed the Tall Town Gun Slingers, which they hope will be a part of the Cowboy Fast Draw Association.

GUNSLINGERS From page 82 the United States. Fast Draw is a competition that involves competitors shooting, at the same time, at metal targets 43 inches off the ground. Competitors must un-holster their gun on a signal, and the fastest to hit the target wins. From Friday, July 13, through Sunday, July 15, the association will hold the Oregon State Championships in Portland. Later this summer, from Friday, Aug. 31, through Sunday, Sept. 2, the Gunfighter Rendevous-US Nationals will take place in Pendleton. Hollars recognizes that the sport is growing everywhere. “There is constant interest year round,” Hollars said. “There is indoors, outdoors, and it has become a family event on weekend trips.” Along with the shooting, participants dress up in authentic, 1800’s apparel. “That’s why a lot of people do it, is for the costumes, and the authenticity,” Poppino said. “We use a holster like those used in the 1800’s. We use a .45, un-modified six shooter. It’s part of the appeal.” Both members of the Gunslingers have earned nicknames, which they use when attending quick shoot events.

Metal targets at an official Cowboy Fast Draw Association event stand 43 inches of the ground. The quickest and most accurate shot will advance in, or win a competition. Hollars goes by Yosemite Dan, while Poppino goes by the Diamond Gem Dandy. Poppino, at one point, ranked in the top 25 in the world rankings for fast draw and says a good time for the event is significantly less than a second. “A good time is three tenths of a second, and an average time is six tenths of a second.” The use of firearms always raises the excitement levels of those around, and competitions can be very exhilarating. “There is a huge adrenaline rush, lots

of excitement,” Poppino said. “That’s part of using firearms is holding that excitement in your hand and competing against others.” While the majority of participants in the sport appear to be males, the Gunslingers have seen an increase in female participation. “There has been a huge increase in females, and that just goes to show the activity has a lot of appeal and excitement,” Hollars said. “There isn’t any difference in skill between genders, at least from what I’ve seen. The most important thing, like any activity or sport, is practice and experience.” Thanks to years of experience, the Lakeview duo encourages even the most novice shooters to try out the activity. “We’ve seen a lot, and we know how to undertake novice ability,” Poppino said. “Part of what makes fast draw so great is the knowledge that is passed down from the experienced to a beginner. Then the cycle just continues again.” For more information on the sport of Cowboy Fast Draw, visit www.cowboyfastdraw.com.

Irish Heritage By Tom Rohrer Lake County Examiner “Don’t stop in the United Sates, go straight to Plush.” This saying was repeated to many of those who left Ireland in the mid to late 19th century in an effort to find greener pastures and a new life in the United States. The saying is also hung proudly in the Irish Room at the Lake County Museum in Lakeview, one of the areas biggest and most accurate depictions of the vast and proud Irish heritage that continues to siphon through Lake County to this day. Created in 2007, the Irish Room at the museum features a collection of photographs, artifacts, replicas and legal records that relate to the Irish Immigrants that first populated the area and their relatives that call the area home to this day. “The citizens of the area with Irish heritage have a lot of pride in this,” said Lake County Museum board member John Griffin. “The goal in the creation of this

Photographs from Lake County’s past are displayed throughout the Irish Room at the Lake County Museum in Lakeview. The exhibit celebrates the area’s Irish heritage, along with the men and women who developed Lake County in its earliest stages. room and exhibit was to elaborate on this heritage.” Griffin mentioned that all of the items in the room have come from donations or are on loan from area families. Those who have donated to the room include: Mary Fitzgerald; Marry Ann Megale; Joe and Julia Flynn; John and Marie O’Leary; Joanne Flynn; Richard Flynn; Earl and Jean O’Connor; Dan and Kit Collins; Mary Collins; Dave and Ann Murphy; Roger Flynn; Will Cahill; Walt and Jean Leehmann; John Cremin; Fields Flynn; Millis Flynn; Noel Flynn; June Leavitt; Christian Flynn; Patty Flynn Heeter; Norene Alger; Anna O’Sullivan; Nellie Jane Barry; Merele Leehmann; Miranda Philibert; Marian Gover and Joe Barry. A lot of the focus of the exhibit falls on Dr. Bernard Daly, a native of Ireland who moved to Lake County in 1882. Daly, who among other positions,
served as a Lake County Judge, had a scholarship fund begin in his name in 1922, which has since provided over 1,800 scholarships. The name still holds true in Lakeview today, as the Lakeview High School football team plays on Daly Field and an annual festival, Dr. Daly Days, flourishes each year. “His imprint on the entire county has transcended time,” Griffin says. “People like him are why this area exists.” Some Daly artifacts include his office chair, bench, spittoon and law book collection, among other things. Daly died in 1920 on his way to San Francisco, Calif., to pursue treatment on a personal illness. When the country, and the world, was at its IRISH ROOM peak conflict, Lake See page 88 County

IRISH ROOM From page 86 provided servicemen to help fight for the freedom that blesses the United States to this day. In the exhibit, a picture of Lake County men who fought in World War I is front and center, with names like Dave Murphy, Jimmy O’Connor on the cutline. “It just goes to show how loyal those who helped lay the foundation for this county, and country for that matter, were,” Griffin said. Sheep herding was a popular trade for the Irish integrating into the early days of Lake County, and a number of pictures highlighting the trade are plastered throughout the room. Old sheep shears and other items associated with the trade are featured as well. One of the most impressive displays in the exhibit is that of the brand marks used by families in the area. The elaborate designs of family names such as McKee, O’Sullivan and Doherty serve as a connection between Lake County past and present. “There have been quite a few comments on the brand marks and it always seems to interest visitors,” Griffin said. While the rest of the museum serves as a salute to the areas past, the Irish Room always generates attention from academic researchers to those looking to fill out their historical family tree. “We always get a lot of requests from public to view the exhibit,” Griffin said. “Sometimes it’s for research requests, sometimes it’s to know the dates of marriages or deaths.” Griffin, among all the spectacular items on display, may be most impressed with an extensive record book that gives an official recollection. “The book is very detailed, and lots of work went into it,” Griffin said. “It tells when people came, what their profession was, just an official record. It’s a great resource.” Even in its early days, Lake County knew how to get together and throw a worthy celebration. A photo of the annual picnic held in Camas Prairie from 1916 sits on one wall, along with a portrait of St. Patrick Catholic Church in Lakeview and a group of local bartenders in the 1920’s. Pictures from the old country are also displayed, including one of Thomas Sherlock, the grandfather of future Lake County citizen Ned Sherlock. So if a trip through the heritage, and impressive feats of the County’s past is what interests you, the Irish Room at the Lake County Museum is the place to be. The Lake County Museum is located at 118 S. E St. in Lakeview and can be reached at 541-947-2220.
One of the most popular displays in the Irish Room at the Lake County Museum are the various brands developed by families in the early development period of Lake County.

POINTS OF INTEREST From page 92 Fort Rock
County Road 5-14E to the entrance of the dunes. For more information, contact the Lakeview District BLM office, located at 1301 S. G St., at (541) 947-2177, or visit www. or.blm.gov/lakeview.
Such specific sites of interest to travelers include Fort Rock in the far northern reaches of Lake County. Fort Rock is a unique volcanic formation that is located on a lake bed dating back to the Ice age, measuring some 4,000-plus feet in diameter and 200 feet above the landscape. Fort Rock is among the more prominent natural landmarks of Lake County, providing a formidable presence against the northern Lake County desert landscape. For more information, visit http://www. fortrockoregon.com.
Lost Forest
Known formally as the Lost Forest Research Natural Area, this is a point of interest featuring a stand of ancient ponderosa pine forest growing out of the sand. The Lost Forest Research Natural Area is located a short distance from the Christmas Valley Sand Dunes and contains a remnant of forest dating back to a cooler and wetter time, according to a BLM brochure. The pines of the Lost Forest continue to thrive in the arid desert environment of northern Lake County, with the next closest forest located about 40 miles to the northwest. There is also old growth juniper found in this unique regional setting. Motorized vehicles are allowed on designated open routes, and cross-country travel is not allowed. There are designated sites for camping. For more information, visit www. or.blm.gov/lakeview, or contact the Lakeview District BLM office, located at 1301 S. G St., at (541) 947-2177.
Crack in the Ground
RYAN BONHAM/ Lake County Examiner
Fort Rock Historical Society established the Fort Rock Historical Homestead Village Museum in 1988, which features original structures restored to period authenticity.
Another site in northern Lake County of unique interest is Crack in the Ground, a volcanically-based fissure that measures some 70 feet deep and more than two miles in length. This feature was formed between flows of cooling lava some 1,100 year ago, according to the FortRockOregon.com web site. The site can be hiked thanks to an established trail, and much of the unique location is largely preserved to its state of formation centuries ago.

Helping to Shape Lake County
RYAN BONHAM/ Lake County Examiner
Anderson Engineering & Surveying, Inc.’s staff includes, back row, l-r, John Harms and Ryan Conn; front row, l-r, Barb Thompson and Carmen Tague.
By Ryan Bonham Lake County Examiner There’s plenty to be seen over the course of nearly three decades within a community; just ask Darryl Anderson, president of Anderson Engineering and Surveying, Inc. Anderson, a native of Lake County, has operated the firm since the early 1980s, providing a variety of services ranging from land surveying to engineering-based development projects and more. As a result, he has had a unique perspective of not only witnessing developments from an innately detailed perspective, but he’s also played a hands-on role in the process.
Anderson, a fifth-generation Lake County resident, graduated from Lakeview High School in 1974. In 1978, he graduated from the Oregon Institute of Technology with a Bachelors of Science degree in civil engineering. This career field was an inevitability, Anderson said, having grown up taking many trips out into the field with his father, a land surveyor for the U.S. Forest Service. “I kind of grew up around that,” he said. “I was always kind of interested in building things.” Anderson E ng i ne er i ng FIFTH-GENERATION & Surveying, See page 98 Inc.’s roots

FIFTH-GENERATION From page 96 date back to 1983, when he started the business with his father. The business really began to take off in the 1983-84 era, he said. Projects undertaken by the firm include a vast array of municipal-based efforts with water and wastewater systems, general buildings, surveying work and permitting, Anderson said. The firm has also been involved with stream enhancement projects, as well as those related to irrigation and water rights. “We still do quite a bit of water rights work,” he said. Anderson served as the project manager for the new construction and remodel work at Lake District Hospital, which wrapped up the final stages in late 2011. Included in this project was the construction of a new 34,000 square-foot building housing the new emergency room entrance and more. “I think the community’s proud of it,” he said. “It was a good project. I think we got it built in a pretty reasonable time.” At present, the firm is quite involved with geothermal energy development. An extensive heating system is in development with the Town of Lakeview that will service local schools and Lake District Hospital,
Anderson said. “I think it’s a good step,” he said. “I think we need to look some more at bringing it to the users downtown. I think we have a good resource here, and we need to use it.” The firm also worked on a drinking water system project in Christmas Valley that has proffered a successful cost savings to its users, Anderson said. Through the years, one of the biggest changes to come down the pike is a reduction in the amount of new development, Anderson said. A branch office in Redmond operated from 1992 to 2007, and was phased out in light of a slowing economy. Much of the work done in the Redmond area included developmental work, some municipal projects and some well development, also, Anderson said. “Surveying tends to slow down when the economy is not very good,” he said. All the same, Anderson said that work in Lakeview has remained steady enough to avoid layoffs, and the staff keeps consistently busy. Staffing includes engineer Greg Sharp, who has been with the firm 23 years, technicians Ryan Conn and John Harms and administrative staff Barb Thompson and Car-
men Tague. As is the case for most Lake County residents, Anderson wears multiple hats, serving as the Town of Lakeview Engineer, for which he’s been under contract since 1985, as well as the county surveyor, an elected position. Within the community, Anderson has been involved with the Lions and Rotary clubs, as well as United Methodist Church. He’s also a staunch believer in community projects and activities, donated efforts for the design of the Lakeview Bowmen’s Sports Club’s indoor archery arena as well as the Bullard Canyon/Norm May Shooting Range facility. “We try to invest in our community the best we can,” he said. Overall, Anderson said he’s enjoyed both the working and leisure aspects of Lake County life. He and his wife, Juanita, have been married 35 years and have two grown children, Carmen Tague, who holds an administrative role in the office and is married to Daniel Tague, and Cindy Blank, who is married and currently resides in Virginia. “We believe in the community,” he said. “There’s a lot of good people here.”

Park
Along with ranger duties at Goose Lake State Park, Harris is also in charge of Chandler State Wayside, located on Hwy 395 south of Valley Falls, and Booth State Scenic Corridor, located on Hwy 140 towards Klamath Falls. “It’s about 2,800 acres of responsibility for one ranger,” Harris said. “It’s a pretty daunting job, I put in a lot of time. Unfortunately, we only maintain them six months out of the year and are open for six months, from April to October.” Harris started in the state park system three years ago as a host in the LaPine area.
After the organization decided Harris was too qualified for his hosting position, he was given the park ranger position. A retail and electrical plumber for 30 years, Harris decided it was time to switch career paths. “I decided I wanted to do something I’ve always wanted to do, which was to become a park ranger,” Harris said. “So I did it.” Harris says part of the appeal of

JULIA UGALDE/ Lake County Examiner
Goose Lake State Park, located just north of the California Border, is the only area of public access on the lake. The 84 – acre area features 52 different types of trees and 183 different types of birds. Goose Lake Park is its biological diversity. “It’s a very unique area, especially for Lake County,” Harris said. “It’s due to the collection of trees and birds. There are 52 different types of trees
and 183 types of birds.” Along with the birds and vegetation, mule deer and other mammals frequent the park. This diversity brings in a collection of visitors per year, but Harris believes there could be more.
“A lot of people don’t realize the park just isn’t for day use and that there are plenty of campsites for use.” Currently there are 50 campsites, 48 equipped with water and electricity, and two primitive sites, which were constructed in the last year by Harris. “We get a lot of hikers and bikers, so I thought the primitive sites will really benefit that sort of traveler,” Harris said. The majority of the campsites feature paved parking, grassy areas for tents, fire rings, an RV dumping station, flush toilets and hot showers. Harris knows he is in a challenging position as the country’s economic crisis has led to a decrease in funding for all state and national parks. However, Harris continues his improvements, and will use some of the skills learned from his last career. “I will be upgrading the electrical system to 30-AMPS, and have already bought all the
necessary panels,” Harris said. “All I need to do is install them.” The park also has a rich history of human settlers, and has the remnants nearby to prove it. “There used to be two property’s in the park,” Harris said. “One burned down in a fire, and the other was put on skids and is currently on Stateline Road on the California side.” Harris is also looking into the park’s past, and how that could bring more recognition. “I’ve been doing a lot of research into how the park developed and I hope to find more information from the people of Lakeview.” An avid fisherman and hunter, Harris is happy to have found such a fitting occupation. “It’s a lot of hard-work,” Harris said. “But it’s hard work outside in a beautiful area. What more could you ask for?” For more information on Goose Lake State Park, visit w w w.oregonst ateparks.org / park_1.php or call 800-551-6949.

Tour De Outback SUBMITTED PHOTO
A summer biking event designed to promote local bicycling recreational opportunities will be held Aug. 4 and 5 in Lakeview.
RYAN BONHAM/ Lake County Examiner
A portion of committee members planning the Tour De Outback event include, l-r, Vicki Childress, Audrey Henry, Larry Hills and Mark Price.
By Ryan Bonham Lake County Examiner There’s plenty of outdoor recreation for which Lake County is known, but bicycling opportunities is one of the area’s best-kept secrets. Numerous opportunities abound for two-wheeled enthusiasts to enjoy a ride through the scenic splendors of the Oregon Outback. With this in mind, the Lake County Chamber of Commerce is working to promote these opportunities with the Tour De Outback event set for Aug. 4 and 5 of this year. A committee newly formed to begin planning for a new bicycling event in 2012 started holding monthly meetings in September 2011 to start ironing out details. Members of the committee include Steve St. Clair, BJ Albertson, Vicki and Harvey Childress, Chris Bishop, Siobhan Cremin, Martina Keil, Letrell Cuff, Frank Villagrana, Mark Price, Pete Schreder, Rob Nichols, Tim and Marie Tucker, Larry Hills and Kimberly Conley. A multiple day format is hoped to keep people in town longer, Lake County Chamber Dir. Audrey Henry said. Combining racing and recreational riding elements would provide a benchmark for determining how to format future events, Henry said.
Committee member Larry Hills noted at the committee’s first meeting last fall that most of the local trails are in good condition for such an event, but other areas, such as Winter Rim, are in need of attention. Hills said he’s spoken with Forest Service officials about the needed clearing work. The Tour De Outback event, which will be held over two days, is hoped to draw in plenty of tourism and bicycling enthusiasts from throughout the region, according to Henry. Sponsors lined up for the event include Sports Authority, who Henry said has agreed to sponsor the maps outlining the rides for the Tour De Outback. The local Subway franchise has also committed to sponsorship, while a request has been put out to Pacific Power. Henry said that the event will feature two rides each day for varied levels of expertise, with divisions set up for road bike riders and mountain bikers. A barbecue lunch by Lakeview Lockers will be held on Saturday, Aug. 4. The latest plans for the event include a structured ride on Saturday followed by a free ride on Sunday. Participants will only be charged for one day, Henry said. “This way different people will try different rides,” she said, “and they’ll get a chance to see what we have to offer here, which is lots.”
Henry sees the event as a major economic development tool for the area, as bicycling is currently the fastest-growing family sport, she said. Henry said that the proceeds raised from the event would benefit a future cancer treatment center at Lake District Hospital. The committee working to develop the event meets regularly at the Chamber, Henry said, and additional volunteers are needed for assistance at the event. Areas for which volunteers are sought include the aid stations for granola bar and water distribution, the registration booth, help with information packets and leader and trailing riders for the rides themselves. Interest in the event is growing, with the event information promoted in the Cycle Oregon newsletter as well as via six biking web sites. Henry reported interest from prospective participants from the Reno, Nev., area, as well as throughout Oregon and California. The event will be tied in with the Lakeview Business Association’s annual Wine and Music Festival, held on the same weekend in the downtown area. For more information on the event, contact the Lake County Chamber at (541) 947-6040, 126 N. E St.

RUNNING From page 108 holds you accountable.” While the Striders have certainly benefitted those enrolled in the club, there have been far reaching affects on the community as well. Recently, all district sponsored middle school athletics were discontinued due to budget and funding issues, and the striders saw an opportunity to help keep the emphasis on youth athletics. Since the Striders are part of the American Running Association, they are able to receive non-profit status and have insurance covered. “The middle school sports issue had a lot to do with insurance,” Steninger said. “Since we had the insurance, it was an easy decision.” The Mile High Striders in turn have sponsored the Daly Middle School track team, and through the efforts of club members and parents, the students receive coaching and can participate in official meets. “It’s a very worthy cause, and we’ve had a lot of dedicated volunteers and parents help us out,” Steninger said. “It’s special.” Unlike other organizations, the Striders do not have official meetings or rules.
“The organization is incredible,” Steninger said. “We have a race every month. We don’t have meetings. We just go out and have fun. That’s the main objective, to have fun.” While Steninger no longer pulls all the strings of the club, her efforts and dedication are seen by all. “I don’t have to tell you what a hard worker Bobbie is, or how great of a person she is,” Howard said. “This is her club and to see it grow is very special for all of us.” Membership dues for the Mile High Striders are $5 for student, $10 for individual, $15 for couples, and $20 for families. Forms to join the Mile High Striders can be picked up from Howard’s Drugs and Holloway Photography in Lakeview. For more information on the Mile High Striders, call 541-947-4504.
