The Great Hall at Sunriver Resort was filled with veteran’s families
and supporters during the 97 Highway Dedication on the 6th of June. Everyone was eager to watch as the signs were unveiled and politicians gave
speeches on how and why this historical dedication to World War II Veterans was developed. Erik Tobiason, Vice President of the Bend Heroes
Foundation, said the project went “From a vision to a re- (Continued on page 3)

Brings Us
In what may be the biggest thing to hit La Pine since Bi-Mart,
the second annual Jade’s Jazz Festival is bringing an All-Star
lineup featuring some of the country’s best Jazz Musicians to
town for a three day Jazz Festival August 6-8, at the La Pine
Event Center (Old White School complex) in downtown La Pine.
The Festival features an excellent mix of world-renowned (really) local
artists and musicians from Los Angeles and New York and everywhere in
between. Although any one of these acts would be a Headliner at most any
other Jazz Festival, San Diego-based jazz performer DAVID PATRONE
will headline the event Saturday and Sunday. David is a widely known jazz
singer throughout the country, a Frank Sinatra style Crooner with a modern panache. David was
voted San Diego’s best jazz singer.
Also performing Sunday August 8th, will be Louis Landon. Louis was the “house” pianist for
Madison Square Garden from 1985 to 1995, and has played in front of hundreds of thousands
of people on stage with the biggest names in show biz including JAMES TAYLOR, BRUCE
SPRINGSTEEN, BONNIE RAITT and many others. The extraordinarily talented (Go to page 4)

An Interview with an American Defense Hero
By T. Myers
Knowing little of the background of the man I was about to interview, I
was not sure how to take my first impression of the dapper elderly gentleman. I first saw Gerald W. Sheerer sitting in an overstuffed recliner, facing the window. He was wearing a small brimmed black hat and black
sunglasses that fully covered his eyes. I thought, “Bond, James Bond!”
But at the tender age of 92 years, I might just be looking at a fellow with
some sight impairment, so I introduced myself and was directed to take
the chair opposite him. As the conversation unfolded and (Continued on page 2)

The Spy Among U.S. – An Interview with an American Defense Hero
Article, Interview, and Photo by Teri Myers
(Continued from page 1)
with time, the sunglasses came off and I saw his bright blue eyes, I realized that my first
inclination was correct. He was a James Bond and his sense of humor about his role in
America’s story was reflected in his tongue in cheek appearance.
When I was asked to do an interview with Mr. Sheerer, I was told that he was a
WWII code breaker and his story would fit right into our July issue on Patriotism. What
my lead did not know was that Gerald Sheerer would turn out to be much more than
one of the cryptologists who worked on the Japanese Naval Code and found that it was
based on math and that the coded entries to pay attention to were divisible by 3, 6 or 9.
He actually developed into the “Spy Among US”. Luckily, Sheerer was on our side!
Starting at the beginning, Gerald was born back east on February 25, 1918. He
explained that everybody knew, “With the 1929 Stock Market crash, there was not going to be any work.” He completed high school and went off to the big city looking for
anything he might do. He went into a local Woolworth’s (the historic Five & Dime) and
approached the manager. When asked if he could bale paper, he said no, but the manager said he could learn, he also swept up and did other odd jobs to everyone’s complete
satisfaction. Sheerer’s career began that day. It was not long before he was interviewing
with a Woolworth’s executive for a position in Philadelphia, and he was assigned to a
job in Washington D.C. He came to the rescue of a store that just lost their manager. He
jumped in to do whatever needed to be done and six months later he was promoted to
assistant manager in Hyattsville MD, on the outskirts of Washington. Not able to marry
his sweetheart, Marjory, without his supervisor’s permission until he was in management, (a Woolworth policy), Sheerer continued with the company for four years. In
1940, when the war was revving up he finally gained permission from the company’s
district to get married.
Gerald’s eye was on the European conflict and he had an inner knowledge (this was
something he could not explain) that America needed him. Patriotic attempts to join the
Army were denied and he was classified 2F.
After he married, and transferred to the Woolworth’s in Princeton, NJ, he saw the
troops training at Ft. Meade, and he was sparked once again to do his part for his country. Gerald tried another idea. He told his wife, “I’m joining the Navy.” Sheerer stayed
around the enlistment center until they caved in. Then, they checked his eyes. This was
not the usual physical. But, he was in! While they were doing a background check on
Mr. Sheerer, he reported to the Navy Building on Constitution Avenue. This was where
Gerald helped to break the Japanese cipher.

From that point until
his retirement from government service thirty
years later, Gerald Sheerer was on a roll. The series of commendations,
letters of acknowledgement and thank-you letters he collected over his
years of service read like
a history book, with a
who’s who of signatures
that include prominent
defense players.
After WWII, Commander Hill told Sheerer,
“We want you over at the
new operation… Tell them
you’re a professional,”
“But I am only a high
school graduate!” Gerald
responded.
“Just tell them!” Hill
repeated.
And Gerald reported for duty at NSA (National Security Agency)
in Arlington, Virginia.
Almost
immediately,
Gerald’s ability to see the
big picture let him dis- Gerald Sheerer displays his letter from the Secretary of the U.S.
cover Russian messages Navy, expressing the Navy’s pride in him for all he contributed.
that had him concerned about what he determined was “something going out in space”.
He told his boss with a warning and the next day the deputy Director of the agency was
in his office asking, “Tell me what you told your boss!”
His G-4 rating turned into a G-14 overnight and Sheerer was on his way. From then
on, Gerald Sheerer was thrown into a fast paced life of setting up a foreign missile and
space defense system, travelling between Japan and America, then ultimately his work
led him to Europe where he was in charge of national security in Europe, the Middle
East, and western Africa.
During our brief interview I heard stories of breakfast with President Eisenhower’s
brother Milton, and White House meetings with Kennedy’s Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. There were more stories about working with IBM on improvements to
computers, another explaining the lack of knowledge that his wife had about what he
did for the government, and how he developed Reagan’s Star Wars Satellite system
for knocking foreign missiles out of the air, or his idea to use computers for ‘cribbing’, a
spy technology. I was no longer able to keep up with my notes when we got to his being
in danger stories about being in a sub when the depth charge that came too close to the
side knocked out power, or in a helicopter “that took a hard landing.” The truth was that
he was so important to the government that he and his family were under protection all
of the time. The fact that no one really knew what he did or who he was, saved him from
unimaginable dangerous scenarios.
Like the unassuming beginning of Sheerer’s journey, when he was 55, Gerald quietly walked out of the “agency’ into early retirement with the only celebration being a
salute from long time friend, Admiral Pat March. Sheerer moved to Florida where he
was involved with community activities- especially those that helped promote literacy,
including working on a dinner theater project with a local high school that used talent
and home economics students to provide entertainment and food services. The program
created interest in learning and Gerald Sheerer is all about life-long learning! Years
later, he moved west to be near his son. (Gerald’s son went into the Air Force and spent
time in Klamath Falls where he fell in love with the High Desert.) After the death of
his beloved wife in 2004, he found a great home in the Redmond area where he enjoys
reading, feeding birds, crossword puzzles and daily forays out into the area with his
caregiver, Linda Zimmerman.
I finished the interview by asking him what he thought of our government, and the
two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He answered that he was disappointed in Obama
because he pushed the issues. He said the health policy that was passed would never
work because states would find it to be too expensive. He answered my question about
the wars by saying, “We don’t belong there.” When I followed with a question about us
withdrawing by a certain date, he said that we would be there for a long time.
“Why?” I asked. He turned and asked me, “If your son died there what would
you want?”
He explained that like Korea and Vietnam, we do not want our sons to die in vain,
so we will stay longer in hopes of victory. He is clearly a profound and thought-filled
man. Gerald is thinking about publishing his story and has the manuscript nearly ready.
If you want to read about the Japanese JN-25 cipher story, you can pick up Steven
Budiansky’s book Battle of Wits: the complete story of Japanese code breaking in
WWII or J. V. Boone’s, (Sheerer’s electrical engineer agency partner), book: A Brief
History of Cryptography. In the meantime, we salute Gerald Sheerer for what he has done
for America! H

ality”. There are 8 sites along 2 highways that these signs now live, with the name of
the building and the years that is was used during WWII. For example, the Camp Abbot
sign near Sunriver displays the years 1944-1946.
The main objective of this program is to honor the WWII veterans and inform
travelers about sites served by two major highways- 97 from the Columbia River to
the Oregon/California border, and State Route 126 from Redmond to Prineville.
“Let this dedication demonstrate to the veterans that we honor and respect their
service throughout history.” - Rep. Greg Walden on the WWII Veteran’s Highway dedication. (See map for sign locations below) H

La Pine High School Students raised flags on May 28 before

the students have volunteered their time and energy to Frontier Days to put up 168 flags around La Pine City. These

of July celebrations have taken place. H
Purple Heart Holders Sought
Submitted by Dayton H. (Hoby) Herron
The Purple Heart is awarded to any soldier who is wounded during combat with the
enemy. It was first issued during the American Revolution as a cloth patch. I am trying
to find those who have been awarded one or more Purple Hearts in the Central Oregon
area. My purpose is two fold. First I think it would be nice to have the list for reference
and to spread any news that may pertain to them and secondly; Jim Klug the State Commander of the Oregon MOPH has asked me to attempt to reactivate our Bend Chapter
551. MOPH has gone a lot of good for veterans and their families. Just this past June
4-5-6 we held our State meeting and I was surprised to learn that cash and donated time
by the State group and Chapters was valued at over $62,000.
There is no published list of holders and I have contacted most it not all veterans
organizations.
However we don't want to miss anyone so if you have or know of anyone who holds
the Purple Heart; please have them contact me. Vets of all wars are welcome and especially the younger ones as they will be here for a while to carry on.

Nobody’s Happier Than the Mayor
Former Madras Mayor, Richard Allen, entered into agreement as La Pine’s City
Manager, effective June 10, for eight months. Since it’s a part-time job, he said he
will not move to La Pine, but will spend a couple of nights every week in a motel or
in a campground, since he enjoys the outdoors. (He insisted on paying for the motel
himself.)
Councilor McAfee expressed her thanks at a council meeting to Mayor Shields for
acting as the city’s administrator during times when they needed one.
“Nobody’s happier than I am. It’s a very grueling role”, confessed Mayor Shields.
Juggling the Budget
The simple solution to high legal fees? Offload the work to the new city manager.
But, paying them both could cost the city even more money. This fiscal year, the city
budgeted $75,000 for attorney Jeremy Green and also hired on Richard Allen at $5,000
per month.
According to Councilor Doug Ward, this amount is right on target. “I don’t see
how we could budget less than 75,000... we’re going to spend 105-110 [thousand] this
year...With the new city manager now, the cost to the attorney will go down...If we don’t
budget sufficient, then we’re going to have a problem”, Ward explained.
Now there are two people that will get paid for handling the city’s affairs. If the
attorney earns the full amount budgeted for his services, and the city manager earns his
$40,000, then that would cost the city $115,000.
Councilors at Large
No, the title doesn’t mean that a city councilor is running amok in the streets of La
Pine- it’s quite the opposite. A new law could allow a city councilor to live outside the
city limits.
Business owner Bob Cox commented during a council meeting that “We are built
like a dalmatian dog, with spots of neighborhoods...It seems like the rules that we live
under should look like us,” referring to the council’s discussion about whether this statute should be allowed by the city.
The city is about to go full speed ahead in a adopting a City Charter that will have
detailed rules about how the council runs itself. Adoption of the Charter will be on the
November ballot.
As of right now, any person serving as a councilor must live within the established
city limits, but that could change as a charter gets drafted.
The Mysterious Meeting Explained
Councilor McAfee got a “hand-slapping” by other councilors during a special “mysterious meeting”, as the Bend Bulletin called it earlier in May. Mayor Shields and Doug
Ward announced verbal complaints against McAfee, while Councilors Don Greiner an
Barbara Hedges remained somewhat neutral. There was wide media coverage that attempted to explain the entire background leading up to this meeting that seemed to have
stemmed from McAfee having disagreements with Ward. Many concerned citizens
spoke at the meeting and showed their support for McAfee’s overall status as La Pine
City Councilor.
McAfee was given the opportunity to rebut the complaints against her and apologized to La Pine’s tax payers.
“I will apologize to you, the citizens of La Pine. I apologize for the timewasted
on these irrelevant issues that don’t move our City one step forward,” said Councilor
McAfee. Then she listed the next items that the city should focus on, which were the
selection of the City Manager and the City Charter (see above). Since then, meetings
have been held with no visible problems among the councilors, so it appears progress
is in La Pine’s future. H

$440,000 in Scholarships Given
to La Pine Students
Submitted by Heather Wieber, ASPIRE Coordinator
La Pine High School’s seniors earned over $440,000 this year in scholarships. The
high school’s top dollar amounts went to several students.
• Ian Smith—Resident Student Firefighter Apprenticeship at La Pine Fire Department
$30,000, The Center Foundation—$1,500
• Connor Thill—Midstate Electric Cooperative—$2,500, Sunriver Rotary—$500,
American Legion Auxiliary—$500, National Honor Society—$250, BEA—$1,500,
Ray’s Charitable Foundation—$5,000, Westminster Presidential—$56,000
• Faith Cox—Montgomery GI Bill—$79,848
• Brandon Harris— Montgomery GI Bill—$83,448
• Ty Slater—Western Undergrad—$8,800
• Kassi Conditt—Full Tuition and Books for four years at OIT—$41,000
• Maryann Gonzales—University of Oregon Presidential—$8,000, National Honor
Society—$250, Ya Ya Sisterhood—$500
A key part of La Pine High School’s scholarship success is due to its newly implemented ASPIRE program. ASPIRE started three years ago at La Pine High School and
is an acronym for Access to Student Assistance Programs in Reach of Everyone. It is
a mentoring program run by an ASPIRE coordinator and volunteers. It encourages all
students 9th through 12th grade to seek out some form of education beyond high school
whether that is a trade school, community college, or 4 year university. Students are
given one-on-one guidance by background checked and trained volunteers. Mentors
help with college applications, scholarship essays, financial aid information, interview
preparation, choosing the right college, reminders of important deadlines, goal setting,
SAT and ACT preparation, resume building, course planning and much more.
Mentors meet students during school hours with staff present. Student-mentor meeting times are arranged on an individual basis being sensitive to not pull students from
rigorous courses. The frequency of meeting times varies depending on the students’
interests, needs, and year in school.
This year LPHS had close to 20 mentors and approximately 150 students in the
program. The goal of the high school is to have each student enrolled in the program.
But, in order to make that a reality, more mentors need to volunteer.
If you are interested in mentoring, you don’t need know anything about college, financial aid or scholarships. Every mentor is trained and given the resources to
help the students. And, you as a mentor, create your own schedule. If you can volunteer
even 2 hours per month, ASPIRE can utilize your abilities. Do you have a heart to make
a difference in the life a child? Then, volunteering in ASPIRE is the perfect opportunity. Most families today have two working parents, too much responsibility, and not
enough time or resources to know where to start with attending college. ASPIRE comes
along side of families and students and helps them find the information they need to
make going to college a smooth transition.
Although ASPIRE helps students access higher education, the best part of ASPIRE is making a difference in the life of
a student. Each time a mentor sits down
with a student, a life is changed, a goal is
made, and future dreams are closer to reality. In a day and age where there is no
quietness and technology fills every moment, students just want someone to listen
and care. ASPIRE provides that listening
ear. For more information on how to become a mentor, please call Heather Wieber
at 541-536-5295. H

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the
La Pine Community and the surrounding area for
the love and support you have shown the ranch
over the years.
I will be relocating the Ghost Rock equestrian
operations to a new location right here in Central
Oregon. The spirit of Ghost Rock Ranch lives on!
excellent hospitality. We are very sad to see you go!
We have enjoyed the beautiful ranch and sharing your dream with you. Many have
beautiful memories of the ranch. I know I will always remember the La Pine Chamber
Christmas Party. Cherie had the riders in a sleigh singing carols. I shouted carols out so
the folks in the lodge could hear us. It was a beautiful evening, under the stars, mingling
with friends, laughing, and singing. But, it is time to move on for Ghost Rock.
The good news is that Ghost Rock Ranch will continue with its equestrian operations
in Central Oregon! See the note to the left from Cherie.
If readers would also like to express how you love and remember Ghost Rock
Ranch, please go to The Newberry Eagle blog and post your heartfelt thoughts.

Cherie: “you brought something great and awesome to La Pine with your ranch and
your dreams”. Thank you for sharing it with us. Even though your location is changing,

Buy-Sell Agreements
Can Work For You
Submitted by Andy Meeuwsen, Country Financial
When a farmer or business owner dies, what happens to the farm or business? Many
times it is divided and the business dies with the owner. However, a buy-sell agreement
can keep the farm or business alive and allow it to continue.
Regardless of the type of business, the preferred method of planning for the disposition of a business interest is the buy-sell agreement. A buy-sell agreement can be an
integral part of a plan which provides an orderly transfer of ownership when a farmer or
business owner dies or becomes disabled. A buy-sell agreement can be with a partner,
family member, a stockholder or an employee.
The purpose of a buy-sell agreement, or any farm or business continuation plan,
should be clear, and the agreement should be prepared by an attorney. The plan should
allow the surviving owners to acquire the deceased’s interest and continue operating the
farm or business. The plan can establish a value for federal estate tax purposes that is
binding on the parties to the agreement and the Internal Revenue Service.
A buy-sell agreement funded with life insurance can help solve many problems
arising at the time of death or disability of a farmer or business owner. For the farmer
or business owner it: ensures a buyer and a purchase price for the farm or business;
provides for continuation of the farm or business and avoids liquidation; provides the
funds for the purchase when needed without increasing debt; may lessen conflicts with
heirs; and gives peace of mind to the owners because they know their heirs will receive
their fair share of the business with a minimum of legal difficulties.
For the heirs of the deceased, a buy-sell agreement: ensures a fair price in cash for
the farm or business; helps establish the value of the business for estate tax purposes;
and reduces the potential for eliminates possible disagreements with each other over the
disposition of the farm or business.
Almost every farm and business has potential for a buy-sell agreement to be funded
with life and disability income insurance. Life insurance is an excellent means of
funding a buy-sell agreement because it can provide a funding mechanism to ensure
successful completion of the agreement.
Life insurance is a cost effective alternative to traditional financing. Life policies
are written on the owners to ensure continuation of the business should any owner
die. The life insurance premiums are advance payments toward the purchase of the
deceased owner’s interest, and the death benefit guarantees the cash will be available
when needed.
A disability insurance policy can be used to provide money to hire a replacement
when a farmer or business owner is sick or hurt and cannot work.
It is important for any business to have a clear, well-written buy-sell agreement with
the necessary funding to allow the agreement to be carried out. You should discuss
your options with your attorney and a COUNTRY Financial Representative.

Wy’East Promoting
“Save Water Save Energy”
Program
Submitted by Wy’East
The Wy’East Resource Conservation &
Development Council has teamed with the
Bonneville Power Administration and local utilities to help agricultural operations
and rural small businesses save money on
energy costs. Wy’East’s service area includes Deschutes, Crook, Jefferson, Wasco, Sherman, and Hood River Counties.
The Save Water Save Energy program,
a pilot program sponsored by BPA, was
developed to help make energy improvements convenient and affordable. End
users eligible for the program include irrigators, dairies, wineries, greenhouse
nurseries, livestock operations, on-farm
processors, golf courses, etc.
BPA and northwest public utilities recognize that energy efficiency is the premier low-cost source of new energy and
are working together to bring energy savings to the agriculture industry. By saving
energy, agricultural customers may be able
to reduce costs, increase operation uniformity, decrease the amount of water/energy
used, and potentially increase yield.
Wy’East staff can help make energy improvements convenient – and affordable.
Using a “one-stop” start-to-finish approach,
Wy’East will work with businesses.
Potential savings are realized through
on-site energy efficiency improvements
such as irrigation hardware upgrades, irrigation pumping improvements, scientific
irrigation scheduling, lighting upgrades,
variable frequency drives, HVAC, refrigeration, insulation, greenhouse wall and
roof panels, controlled atmosphere rooms,
heat recovery, and much more.
To date, Central Electric Coop, Northern Wasco County PUD, and Wasco Electric Coop are a few of the local electric
utilities promoting the program to local
agricultural operations and rural small
businesses.

Gen X’ers Must Consider
Needs of Three Generations
If you’re a member of Generation X,
the age group born between 1963 and
1981, you may well be in the busiest time
of your life. You’re probably in the early
to middle stages of your career, for one
thing, and if you have children, they’re
likely still at home. Yet despite the hectic
nature of your days, you still have to look
after the financial concerns of your children, yourself and possibly even your parents. This three-generational effort may
seem challenging, but with some planning
and persistence, you can help your family
make progress toward a variety of goals.
To begin with, let’s consider the needs
of your children. Obviously, you’re already providing for their living expenses,
so from an investment point of view, your
biggest concern may be how you’ll help
them pay for college. Here’s a suggestion:
Put time on your side and start saving as
soon as possible. You might want to consider opening a 529 college savings plan,
which offers potential tax advantages.
Saving for college is important — but
so is saving for your own retirement. Con-
sequently, you’ll have to find the right
balance of resources to devote to these
two goals. To avoid shortchanging yourself, take full advantage of your 401(k)
or similar employer-sponsored retirement
plan. Contribute as much as you can afford right now, and whenever you get a
raise, increase your contributions. At the
very least, put in enough to earn your employer’s matching contribution, if one is
offered. Your 401(k) accumulates on a
tax-deferred basis, and your contributions
are generally made with pretax dollars, so
the more you put in, the lower your taxable income.
You aren’t confined to investing in a
401(k), either, because you can also put
money into a traditional IRA, which accumulates tax deferred, or a Roth IRA,
which accumulates tax free, provided
you’re at least age 59½ when you start
making withdrawals and you’ve held your
account at least five years.
Once you’ve started saving for college
for your kids and investing for your own
retirement, you’ve got one more genera-
IF YOU’RE NOT AT YOUR LAST JOB,
SHOULD YOUR 401(k) BE?
tion to consider — the older one. For example, you’ll need to make sure your parents have adequate financial protection for
their health care expenses. If your parents
have saved and invested throughout their
lives, they may not need any financial help
from you — but that doesn’t mean you’ll
never be called upon to straighten out their
affairs. That’s why now is the perfect time
to ask your parents some key questions:
Where are your assets located? Do you
have a will? How about a durable power
of attorney? You might think these inquiries will make you sound “selfish,” but the
opposite is true: The more you know about
your parents’ financial situation and estate
plans, the bigger help you’ll be to them,
and to other members of your family, if the
day arrives when your parents need some
assistance.
It may not always be easy to act on behalf of three generations — but it’s worth
the effort.

Mark your calendars. La Pine will be
100 years old September 21, 2010. We
are planning a big La Pine Community
Birthday Party on September 24th and
25th. We expect the whole community to
join together in this “Once in a Hundred
Years” opportunity.
The first exploration of the La Pine
country began by white men in the 1820’s.
According to the History of La Pine Pioneers, “Peter Skene Ogden’s men discovered East Lake in 1826… 1843 saw the
passage of John C. Fremont’s exploration party on their way south to Klamath
Marsh… in 1853 and 1854 two major
wagon trains followed the Little Deschutes
River to the vicinity of Crescent before
crossing the mountains.” The book also
reports that (La Pine) “Established as Rosland on April 13, 1897. Name changed
to La Pine on September 21, 1910” (1910
was when the La Pine post office was
founded).
La Pine has already started celebrating
in several ways...
• Brad Samuelson of Wise Buys designed the
La Pine 100 Year Celebration Logo (above)
for the community (winning a design contest).
• “A Small Town – Past, Present and Bright
Future” was the theme for The La Pine
Chamber Annual Banquet. Teri Myers wrote
and directed a comedy play that portrayed
life in La Pine in the 1920’s.
• La Pine had an Old Fashioned Easter Spring
Festival at the White School Complex.
• Dedication of the new La Pine Sign, “Small
town – Bright Future”, located at Hwy 97 and
Huntington Rd.
• “A Journey Back in Time” Rendezvous with
the Ponderosa Mountain Men in May.
• The Newberry Eagle Newspaper is featuring
La Pine History articles and photos in every
issue throughout the Centennial year.
• The Annual La Pine Frontier Days is a 100
Year Celebration in itself.
• The 4th of July Parade will feature One
Hundred Years of Cars… from the 1910’s
through current vehicles.

Nutrition Resources
for Healthly Living
Submitted by Home Instead Senior Care
The Home Instead Senior Care® network
is arming seniors and family caregivers with
nutrition resources for healthy aging.
Healthy aging is a goal we all share and,
for seniors, a well-balanced diet can be even
more important. Good nutrition is the first
line of defense for older adults who are striving to maintain their independence as they
age, helping to protect them from illness and
disease.
Achieving a well-balanced diet is not as
easy as it sounds, though. The physical limitations of aging often make shopping, cooking and dining a challenge for many seniors
who want to stay healthy.
Mobility problems aggravated by conditions such as arthritis can keep seniors away
from the grocery store where they would find
healthy options for their daily menus. Medications and certain illnesses often cause older
adults to lose their appetites. And the death of
spouses and friends may isolate seniors, leaving them with little interest in the pleasures
of dining at home or eating out at restaurants.
Inability to shop and cook can be major challenges to eating healthy, especially
among recently hospital-discharged older adults, said Dr. Nadine Sahyoun, associate
professor of Nutrition and Food Science in the University of Maryland College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, who has extensively studied the impact of issues such
as dental health, social support and depression on seniors’ diets. Physical functioning
is very important to the quality of food that is in the home and to the meals that are
prepared, she added.
Awareness begins with identifying the warnings signs that seniors are not eating
properly. These are the first alerts to warn family caregivers of the potential hazards that
their senior loved may be facing if they are not eating properly.
Family caregivers have their own challenges. Their busy schedules helping Mom
and Dad with shopping and meal preparation often turn their lives into a pressure cooker of stress. According to Home Instead Senior Care research: An estimated 83 percent
of family caregivers help with groceries or other errands; 65 percent assist with meal
preparation. Home Instead Senior Care is located in Bend, OR at 497 SW Century Drive
Suite 102 and can be reached by phone at (541) 330-6400. H
So how do you know if your senior’s diet fits the bill?
These 10 warning signs are red flags that may signal a potential problem:
1. Loss of appetite: If your senior has always been a hearty eater but no longer eats as he or she used
to, it’s time to find out why. Underlying illness could be the root cause.
2. Little to no interest in eating out: If your loved one has always loved eating out at a favorite restaurant
but no longer shows interest, dig deeper to determine the problem.
3. Depression: Change in appetite is a classic sign of depression. Be sure to follow up with a physician
if you suspect depression may be a problem.
4. Sudden weight fluctuation: A weight change -- losing or gaining 10 pounds in six months -- is another
sign that something could be amiss.
5. Expired or spoiled food: Check the refrigerator for expired or spoiled food. Seniors could be saving
food until it’s no longer safe. Make sure that all food is labeled, with the date, in large letters and numbers.
6. Skin tone: Observe your senior’s skin tone. If she is eating properly, her skin should look healthy
and well-hydrated.
7. Lethargy: If your loved one has regularly been active and enjoyed taking walks but suddenly becomes lethargic, encourage him to see a doctor. Poor nutrition could be to blame.
8. Cognitive problems: Seniors who live alone might forget to eat. Dementia and cognitive problems
can lead to nutritional deficiencies. Quick intervention is vital.
9. More than three medications: Medication can influence both appetite and weight. Check with your
senior’s doctor to find out if his medications could be the culprit.
10. A recent illness: Illness or a hospital stay could make a senior stop eating. Keep tabs on your loved
one’s recovery, making sure she has reliable help at home. H

“Our House” Honored
for Helping People
with HIV/AIDS
& Other Disabilities
Submitted by Oregon Department of Health Services (DHS)
SALEM, OR—Too often, one of the biggest issues facing people living with HIV/AIDS
is finding stable and safe housing. One long-time care organization, Portland’s nonprofit
Our House, has addressed the issue head-on with creative, patient-based supports that
keep people from homelessness. In recognition of the organization’s work, the Oregon
Department of Human Services Seniors and People with Disabilities (SPD) Division
recently awarded Our House the 2010 Innovative Practice Program award.
The Innovative Practice Program recognizes long-term care providers that have implemented programs, policies and services that contribute significantly to the quality of
life and care of those living or working in long-term care communities. It also provides
the opportunity for others to learn from and replicate these model practices.
“We look for innovative practices that make a real difference in people’s lives,” says
Mary Gear, administrator, SPD Office of Licensing and Quality of Care. “Our House’s
program enriches and expands opportunities for some of our most vulnerable fellow
Oregonians to stay housed, safe and healthy.”
One Our House model practice is providing assistance to those who are defined as
“too healthy” to meet qualifications for 24-hour residential care. Our House provides
them with medical, mental health, addiction and rental services, as well as opportunities
to engage with others and avoid isolation. In addition, Our House monitors clients’ health
and well-being to help prevent their health from deteriorating, thus preventing costly
medical bills.
About Our House and the Neighborhood Housing and Care Program (NHCP): Our
House is a nonprofit agency that provides a continuum of health care, housing and community service options for low-income individuals with HIV/AIDS. Services include a
licensed 14-bed residential care facility (Our House), a five-bed adult care home (Swan
House), rental assistance, free food bank and thrift store and payment of pet care services
that cannot be met through any other source.
Our House partners with Cascade AIDS Project, the Partnership Project (OHSU) and
Cascadia Behavioral Healthcare, Inc. to provide assistance with housing and health care
to support the physical, emotional and psychological well-being of clients.
Services are provided by RNs, occupational therapists, social workers, a housing specialist and a drug and alcohol counselor — all working together with individuals to help
them live better and healthier lives.
The
Innovative
Practice
Program was launched in 2007 by the
Department
of
Human
Services
B U I LT T O A H I G H E R S TA N D A R D
Seniors and People with Disabilities Division, the Oregon Alliance of Senior and
Health Services, Oregon Health Care Association and other stakeholders to support quality improvement initiatives in
licensed assisted living, residential care
and nursing facilities. The annual call for
applications invites providers to describe
innovative care and services that meet a
set of identified criteria.

Families Continues at Record Levels
The New Senior
By T. Myers, Citizen Contributor
During the past few months we have
looked at modern communications (attaching oneself to a cell phone, etc.), figuring out when to let go of material possessions and enjoy life and back in April,
I wrote about the Retirement Revolution
(financial issues). When a New Senior is
defined as anyone old enough to qualify to
join AARP, then you know that there are
lots of us out there. This month let’s discuss “ageism”.
Ten years ago when I first started receiving offers to join AARP and I discovered some of the benefits of being a senior- like discounts at Ross on Tuesdays,
or cheap early bird meals at Denny’s restaurants, I thought, “Hmm... This might
not be so bad”. But now, after ten years
and a fairly extensive attempt to find living wage employment during the past two
years, I am thinking this New Senior thing
might not be so good!
When I was laid off from a job in the
construction business, I was aware that
the field was in a very depressed area of
the economy. I did not think that the recession, Central Oregon, the economy, the
rate of local unemployment and my age
would be so hard on me personally. I was
always able to get work in the past. After
doing research and exploring different opportunities, I was ready to apply for jobs.
Even though I felt qualified to apply and
interview for positions in several different
fields, I found it difficult to get an interview. The interviews I did get resulted in
very little interest in me as a candidate.
I worked hard to revise my resumes to
fit the positions I was looking at. I called
and asked if employers would like me to
send in a resume before just sending one
in. I researched the companies I was interested in and when I sent resumes, I called
to see if they were received and if I could
schedule an appointment to meet with the
company. I sent thank-you notes after interviews and maintained my job search
records and added more volunteer activities to keep me visible and involved in my

community.
There was
not much more
to do. The result?
Nadanothing! I was
running out of
steam when it
came to trying
again and again to find a job that would
work out for me.
One day my sister delivered an article
from the Bend Bulletin about a program
called Experience Works. It is a retraining
program for people over the age of 55. I
kept the paper. When I passed one year of
being unemployed, I called the EW office
to get more information. They let oldsters
(like me) work at minimum wage for up
to 28 hours per week with local partner
agencies in order to get off the unemployment rolls, get new training in fields that
could be a new source for employment in
the future and then they set you up with
a partner placement once you qualify, so
you can finally get back to work. I asked
one of the agencies I volunteered for if
they would be interested in a mutually
beneficial partnership with Experience
Works and, luckily, the agency qualified
and I am now working part time in a place
I am interested in helping. In the meantime, it is my continuing responsibility to
seek full time employment while I work
at my EW job. I have not found anything
yet, but I do feel better working again!
Can your age influence an employer’s
decision to hire you? I believe so. Who
wants to hire someone who will be gone
in six years to retirement? Are you even
considered? Not often enough. Even
when your credentials are top notch, there
seems to be a hesitation to put your abilities at the top of their list- especially when
there are lots of other, younger candidates
competing for the same position.
Is it right? No. Can we stop it? It is too
hard to prove. But, seniors- be aware- it is
definitely out there! H

Submitted by Oregon DHS
More Oregonians than ever before continue to count on public services to help their
families get through economic tough times. Demand for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits (formerly food stamps) and Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families (TANF) increased again last month, and the
trend is expected to continue into next year.
In May, a total of 706,653 Oregonians received
SNAP benefits, an increase of 17 percent from one year
ago and 46 percent since the beginning of the recession
in July 2008, when Oregon’s unemployment rate was
just above 6 percent. Last month, a total of 26,885 families received TANF — up 5 percent from a year ago and
35 percent from July 2008; this program is available
only for very low-income Oregon families.
SNAP benefits provide an important bridge for
people who are unemployed or underemployed and
earn too little to meet their basic nutrition needs. TANF
helps families pay for shelter and other necessities that
parents would not be able to otherwise afford. It also
provides case management services for families struggling due to unemployment, underemployment or incapacitation of a primary wage
earner.
In order to keep up with the increased demand, DHS has transformed its intake process to reduce wait times and eliminate backlogs. Because of our streamlining efforts,
Oregonians receive their SNAP benefits an average of nine days sooner than they did
before – and in most places across the state, it is same-day service.
There are 160 DHS locations across the state where Oregonians can apply for SNAP,
TANF and other benefits for which they may be eligible. Many state and federal programs have online applications: Go to www.oregon.gov/DHS/assistance.
About the Benefits
To be eligible for SNAP benefits, families must earn less than 185 percent of the
federal poverty level, along with other factors. For a family of four, the income limit is
less than $3,400 per month. The maximum benefit for a household of four totals $668
per month. The overall average SNAP benefit per household is approximately $250
per month. Approximately three-fourths of all SNAP households have some form of
income, which results in the actual benefit level received being reduced from the maximum.
Benefits are determined on a sliding scale, based on household income, and are distributed through the Oregon Trail Card that is used like a debit card to purchase food.
SNAP benefits can be used to purchase foods for the household to eat, such as breads
and cereals; fruits and vegetables; meats, fish and poultry; and dairy products. SNAP
benefits are intended to act as a supplement to a family’s overall food budget, not to
cover it entirely. In many households with little or no income, it can be the primary
means to meet the family’s nutritional needs.
To be eligible for TANF, parents with children must earn less than the total monthly
income limit. For a two-parent family with two children, that maximum is $795, along
with an asset limit of $2,500 (not including the family home, or the first $10,000 value
of family vehicles). The maximum benefit for the family of four, with no other income,
is a total of $647 per month. TANF provides temporary assistance and case management services for families struggling due to unemployment, underemployment or incapacitation of a primary wage earner. TANF and TANF-related programs also provide
employment and training services, child care while looking for work or other alternatives, assistance seeking Social Security Income or Social Security Disability Income,
and help to flee or stay free from domestic violence.H

Protecting Your Garden From
Frost– There’s Hope for July
Article and Photo By Pam Cosmo
As I write, I have yet to peek under the row covers with which we sheltered our
plants last night to protect them from frost. I have to admit, I’m rather afraid to look.
When we got home from the Grange Potluck in June the thermometer on the back porch
said 32 F degrees. The temperature continued to plummet even further as the night wore
on, so we covered the more cold-sensitive plants. Last night the low was 20 degrees.
After I trudged
Cover your plants when there is a

the damage, I see
possible freeze. You can use frost

blankets or simple flannel sheets to

protect your garden.
were the marigolds that were
planted among
the veggies to
ward off cabbage
moths.
Somehow, the winter
squashes made
it. I wasn’t too
worried about the
spinach, Swiss
Chard, broccoli,
and
Brussels
Sprouts. The strawberries, peas, garlic, onions, carrots, and shallots weren’t covered
and they are all fine.
This is La Pine. The “threat of frost” is never over. We just has to be prepared for
unpredictable conditions here. Garden frost blankets are a “must have” item if you want
maintain a decent garden here. They are available through many garden catalogs or
you can go on line and find several sources. At Territorial Seed Company, a six foot
by twenty foot roll costs $24.50 and a six foot by fifty foot costs $35.95. It depends on
where you purchase them. Or, try using flannel sheets from the Goodwill or St. Vincent
De Paul. Use tent stakes at the corners to hold the blankets in place.
Why would anybody go to all this trouble to try to grow their own vegetables under
these challenging conditions? I have three reasons: health, shortages, and variety.
I have had two children and a husband die of cancer. The threat of toxin-laden Frankenfood is very real to me. Growing my own food is my way of fighting back against
the toxic soup in which we live. To me, it makes no sense to come back from an event
to support cancer research, and sit down to a meal loaded with carcinogens. But, that’s
just me.
For an assortment of reasons, food production is threatened in many places. The U.S.
has less food stored up right now than any time in its history. There is only a three day
supply of food in the average American city. I feel safer when I know I can eat out of
my backyard or from the freezer in the winter.
Third is cost. Granted, it does require an investment to start up a serious garden. You
have to fence it against deer, buy seed and tools, frost covers, and so forth. But, once
you’ve got the basics, the cost goes down each year. I can grow things now that I would
not otherwise afford to buy. I will eat five different colors of carrots, potatoes from
Peru, artichokes from Italy. I’ll have lettuce from France, cylindrical beets and radishes
– all sorts of gourmet items and all organic. Not bad for a couple of old guys living on
social security. H

Green Energy – Heat Pumps,
A Great Investment
By Bend Heating
Recently, Randall Marchington, an expert mechanical estimator from
Bend Heating answered questions about the newest high efficiency heat
pump systems on the market. He also discussed how people can save
money and benefit from the best incentives ever offered for installing
high efficiency equipment for heating and cooling your home.
Q: Randall, what are the average fuel
costs for the La Pine and Sunriver area?
A: We measure the cost of heating in the
amount of Btuh output (British Thermal
Units per hour). For example Propane
costs $28 - $34 per Btuh, heating oil costs
$28 - $32 per Btuh, and an electric furnace
costs $20 per Btuh. What many people
don’t know is that a high efficiency heat
pump is the most cost effective source for
heating a home at only $8 - $9 per Btuh.
As an added bonus a heat pump also cools
so you get air conditioning basically at no
additional cost.
Q: If I’m heating with Propane, how much
of a savings can I get by converting to a
high efficiency heat pump?
A: Using that example you are paying approx. $32 per Btuh with propane as compared to $9 per Btuh with a high efficiency
heat pump. That would be roughly a 72%
savings.
Q: Can you give me an example of what
it would cost to invest in a new high efficiency heat pump system?
A: Let’s use an example of a system based
on a smaller stick or manufactured home
costing an estimated $7,830.00. With Federal, State and utility energy incentives
and rebates you can save $4,540 for a net
investment of $3,290.00. There have never been incentives like this in the 25 years
I’ve been in this business.
Q: What sets Bend Heating apart from
other well known heating companies?
A: Bend Heating has served Central Oregon and the La Pine and Sunriver communities since 1953. That’s longer than
anyone in our business. We are required
to be certified by federal, state and local
agencies. We participate in rigorous ongoing training that requires us to perform
many different tests to certify the installation is correct like duct testing and sealing – as much as 25% of heat can be lost
to leaky ducts. We also perform air flow
measurements. Air flow needs to be balanced to avoid burning up the equipment.
But there are many other factors that need
to be considered to get it right.
Q: How can people contact you for more
information?
A: You can contact me at 382-1231 or
email me at [email protected]
and I’m happy to provide a no obligation
estimate of costs and savings. You can also

New Fre-Win Supervisor
Submitted by Fremont-Winema National Forests
PORTLAND, OR – Frederick Way, a District Ranger on Washington’s Colville National Forest, has been named as the new supervisor of the Fremont-Winema National
Forests in southern Oregon.
Way, who has been working in natural resources for 40 years, has been with the U.S.
Forest Service since the late 1980s and the Bureau of Land Management before that.
He most recently served as acting Deputy Forest Supervisor on the Klamath National
Forest in 2008.
“We’re pleased to have Fred leading the Fremont-Winema,” Regional Forester Mary
Wagner said. “He brings a wealth of experience and energy that will serve the Forest
and the people of southern Oregon.”
Way, 58, said he dreamt of working for the Forest Service since riding in his father’s
log truck in northern California. Stints as a firefighter led to a range conservationist job
with the BLM in Prineville and Baker City. In the early 1980s, he worked for the Oregon
State University USDA Extension Office as a county livestock and pasture extension
agent in Central Oregon.
Way joined the Forest Service in 1988
as a wildlife biologist on the Klamath National Forest and later served on the Black
Hills National Forest in South Dakota.
Forest Service jobs in Ashland, OR; Walla
Walla, WA; Missoula, MT; and Boise, ID
followed. Way became a district ranger on
the Greenbrier District of the Monongahela National Forest in West Virginia before
coming to the Colville National Forest. He
also has served on local and national wildfire teams.
Way succeeds Karen Shimamoto, Fremont-Winema supervisor from 2003 to
2009.
Way and his wife, Becky, have been
married for 36 years. They have five grown

Forest system.” - Dave Sabo
Lakeview, OR - The Fremont-Winema
National Forests welcome Dave Sabo as
the new District Ranger in Chemult, Ore.
Beginning June 7, Sabo will provide oversight and management of resources on the
District’s 396,553 acres.
“I am happy that Dave will be joining
the Fremont-Winema National Forests,”
said Rick Newton, Forest Supervisor. “His
experience, leadership skills and enthusiasm are a perfect match for the Chemult
Ranger District.”
Sabo has 22 years of experience in natural resource management working for the
U.S. Forest Service on the Salmon-Challis
National Forests in Idaho. In 1984, he began his career as a seasonal employee in
timber management, where he spent 10
years working his way up from a Forestry
Technician to a Timber Management Assistant.
Sabo has spent the last twelve years on
the Salmon-Challis National Forests as the
Minerals Management Specialist. Recently, he enjoyed detail opportunities in recreation and as the Acting District Ranger on
the Beaver Ranger District of the Fishlake
National Forest in Utah.
Sabo earned a degree in Forest Management from Utah State University in
Logan, Utah in 1987. He and his wife,
Kendra, have two grown sons currently
enrolled in college. H

als and organizations in the development and ongoing operations of the clinic. Partnerships will
include the region’s largest hospital, Sky Lakes Medical Center, and the Klamath Pediatric Clinic. The
Sanford Children’s Clinic physician team will include two
pediatricians from the Klamath Pediatric Clinic and one
from Sky Lakes and will grow through recruitment in subsequent years. Additionally, the clinic will employ administrative and nursing staff to support the physician team.
Opening in 2012, the clinic will include approximately
9,000 square feet and will include the Castle of Care™ features of other Sanford Children’s facilities.
In addition to the original gift from Mr. Sanford, the
JELD-WEN Foundation is leading an effort and coordinating response among the grant-making community foundations of the state to garner
total matching support of $2.5 million. Current commitments from Oregon-based community partners exceed $1.225 million, including a grant from the Oregon Community
Foundation to support construction. Sky Lakes Medical Center will help facilitate the
donation of land on which the clinic can be developed and will also provide ancillary
lab and imaging resources when the clinic opens.
“We are pleased to partner with Sanford Health on the development of a pediatric
clinic in Klamath Falls,” stated Paul Stewart, CEO of Sky Lakes Medical Center. “The
necessary services that will be provided will benefit children and young families for
years, and we look forward to the growth both organizations will experience together.”
TEAM Klamath, a public/private partnership organization that fosters the development of services for the community, and the American Academy of Pediatrics played
integral roles in Sanford’s selection.
“Sanford Health’s mission to develop clinical services for children met the single,
most pressing need TEAM Klamath was hoping to meet,” stated Cheryl Hukill, Klamath County Commissioner. “The coordination of care that will come from this project,
and the growth that it will allow, will have tangible and lasting impacts on this community.”
The development process will include a formal ground-breaking ceremony in Klamath Falls on Thursday, September 9, 2010. H

Thank you Swede Barber for your help with ODOT!

asset to the North county and to the Crescent Gilchrist CATeam and will be greatly
missed. His temporary replacement is Jay Smith.
Veteran’s Home Passed Up
According to Commissioner Cheryl Hukill (our liaison for the north county) the
Veterans Home that the county was in the running for was not awarded to Klamath
County this time. A total of 900 beds are needed in the state of Oregon and they are
far short of meeting that need. It is hoped Klamath County will be awarded the next
home in the next few years. The citizens of the county passed the Vet’s Home Bond
and it will be available if and when the time comes. She noted that the recent Sheriff’s
Levy failed to pass. They are forming a Public Safety Committee to come up with
solutions. H

Crescent, OR - The Three Trails project on the Crescent Ranger District proposes a
designated Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) trail system where no designated system currently exists.
The project will consider developing 100-130 miles of interlinking trails offering
various levels of challenge and scenery that motorized users desire. In addition to developing a new designated system for users to enjoy, it will place the trails on the landscape
where it is most appropriate for a trail system to operate and be maintained. Incorporating several new staging areas with amenities such as bathrooms and parking, the
new trail system would also provide connections to communities and local businesses,
especially to the town of Crescent Lake Junction.
The project team currently is conducting an
analysis of the project. It
is expected that people
will be able to comment
on the project and the
analysis early this summer. To find out more,

My first night in the La Pine area
was October
24, 1924. My family had moved here from Dole Valley, Washington. The first ranch we came to was that of Frank and Lizzie Bogue,
where we were asked to spend the night. This place is now known as
the Stearns Cattle Ranch. The next morning we were going to what
was to become our home, the Harriman Place, now known, probably
to most, as the Jepson Place, on Day Road.
La Pine was a somewhat small community with two grocery
stores, hotels, garage, post office, and, yes, a bank, although the bank
had folded before we came. In front of many of the buildings were
built-up boardwalks.
At that time, my biggest thrill was to have a penny to spend for
candy at E. L. Clark’s store. Mr. Clark always made sure for my
penny that I had enough candy for my baby brother Tommy and my
three nephews who were with us.
Our family ran a dairy ranch and Dad also hauled wood to Bend.
During the Depression he would trade the wood for groceries.
On the 4th of July each year, all the farmers and families would make what seemed
like an awfully long trip to Paulina Creek for a picnic. The children played in the
creek, and the men played baseball and horseshoes and turned the ice cream freezers
for the good old homemade ice cream.
I believe it was in 1951 when Midstate Electric was able to give us all good electricity. It was really something to be able to flip a switch and you had lights instead of
the daily ritual of filling the kerosene and gas lights.
In 1954, Little Deschutes Grange was organized with the help of Mr. Schooling.
An installing team came from Klamath Falls to do the honors: Jay Shults, Inez Skidgel, Carmen Dawson, Violet Cox, George Howard, Charlotte Morehouse and others.
About the Hall
By Charlotte Day Morehouse, Written Feb. 14, 1976
Above: Grange Hall, year unknown.
“Now that we finally had the Clubs headed in one direction, we felt it
necessary to also include the community of La Pine in our joint venture as
funds were needed to build a kitchen, restrooms, dining hall, and, further in
the future, a larger hall.
It was decided that an old-fashioned barbeque and games on July 4th
would attract many vacationers, so Frontier Days was established to raise
funds and promote the Community of La Pine. What a wonderful surprise
and success! We served over 1,800 people in 1964 and 1,800 in 1965, and the
whole community looked forward to the next year and a bigger crowd. Everyone was enjoying themselves and the building fund kept growing, along
with something else – pride in our community.” - Author Unknown H
The Hall was built in 1911 or 1912 by the community with donations made and volunteer work. Occasionally some real good old-time dances were held there.
The Hall was cold, with only one stove in it besides the kitchen wood stove. The
kitchen was like a lean-to built on, and the wind would whistle through.
In January 1965 an arrangement was made with Pioneer Club, Community Club and
Little Deschutes Grange to form a corporation of the three so that the hall could be fixed
up. A Building Committee was set up to take care of this.
Some of the first repairs were tearing off the kitchen and building a new one, putting
in restrooms, putting down a new well and fixing the roof on the main hall. Later came
the paneling.
One of the first fund raisers for the Hall was a steer donated by Glenn and Frieda
Howard that we sold chances on. I think we really did pretty good on this. Then, of
course, came quilts made by the ladies of the Grange. Then came along what is now the
main fund raiser for the Grange – the annual Chicken Shoot, held the last Saturday night
in February. It all came about when the Morehouses had an oversupply of old hens and
the Grange needed money.
Beginning in 1972, we held an annual “Flea Market” in October or November.
Until about 1966, La Pine had only the Baptist Community Church. Then about
1968 the Nazarene Association built a beautiful little church building on Finley Butte
Road, which was later taken over by the La Pine Community Church Association. Then
the Kingdom Hall and a Faith Lutheran Church were built. H

Interview with Josie Hanneman
La Pine’s New Community Librarian
Interview and Photo By Wendy Korn,
Newberry Eagle Reporter
The Deschutes Library system recently juggled some
positions around and decided only one librarian is necessary at the La Pine location. La Pine’s General Manager
and Youth Librarian of three years, Colleen Galvin, moved
to the Sister’s Library in May and since then Josie has taken over at the La Pine library as the Community Librarian.
General management will be done remotely by Deschutes
Bend Library branch.
Josie’s Background:
Josie received her masters degree from University
of Wisconsin Madison, Library Science. Her first job
as a librarian was at a school in Santa Cruz, Bolivia
where she worked with kids of all ages. Her journey has led her to Oregon to work in the Deschutes
Public Library system. In August 2009, she landed
a job splitting her time between the Sunriver and La
Pine libraries as Teen Librarian. In the role of a Teen
Librarian, Josie focused on teen activities and managed the young adult book collection. Now she takes on more responsibility as the Community Librarian, since she must work with all ages of readers to keep them coming back.
Q: What’s the transition been like for you going from Teen Librarian at two locations, to working full-time at the
La Pine Branch?
A: I had the same role in La Pine and Sunriver – the Teen Librarian, and now that small focus has moved to a much
broader focus of working with all different age groups and all different areas, but it is more focused in that it’s one
community. I get to know one single community better.
Q: What qualities do you think are important to do this job?
A: For this specific role, in a Community Librarian position, in a public library, it’s customer service skills, enjoying
working with people...an interest in education in an informal setting...a passion or love for reading or technology or
both. If one of these parts speak to you, then this would be a good [career] path to take.
Q: What are some of the upcoming activities for the rest of the year?
A: We have the children’s summer reading program which has been happening for years. This year the focus is
“Make a Splash: Read”, so it’s water related and there are so many great things going on. The first program down
here is Tales of Whales – we’re going to have life size inflatable whales coming from the Oregon Coast Aquarium!
Is that exciting or what? There are teen programs coming up: Crafting, movies, game days. And this year we’re
inaugurating the Adult Summer Reading Program.
Q: It this a brand new Adult Summer Reading Program for La Pine?
A: Yes. They had started it in Sunriver a couple of years ago. It’s where you read for three hours, we say “Congratulations”, give you a free book and a Bingo Card. The Bingo Card has different genres or activities in the squares, so
instead of B-26, it’s “read a western”. So you read from the different genres to get five in a row. When you get five
in a row we put you in the drawing for our grand prize, which is an MP3 player. There’s also weekly drawings for
free books. H

Book Reviews & Events
SUNRIVER BOOKS AND MUSIC
By Deon Stonhouse, Sunriver Books and Music
Summer has an abundance of interesting, fun author events.
Attending is interesting and entertaining, it makes reading more fun.
July starts off with a bang! July 3rd at
5:00 International Best Seller Craig Johnson will delight the crowd with a presentation on Junkyard Dogs. Every one of
the 6 books in his Walt Longmire series
has been an Indie Next List pick; he has
been winning
awards at home
and in France.
His books rock!
Craig
is
greeted every
morning
by
all the magnificence
of
Wyoming’s untamed, spectacular landscape.
He grants this
jaw dropping beauty to his stories, conveying the grandeur that surrounds him
every day. Craig Johnson’s heroes are
John Steinbeck, Wallace Stegner and
George MacDonald Fraser. He writes stories with intricate plots, beautiful prose,
and compassion for his characters. A born
storyteller, he liberally sprinkles them
with humor.
Cold Dish introduces you to characters you will want to re-visit. Sheriff Walt
Longmire is a big guy, able to be tough
but with a kind heart. His deputy Vic
hails from a family of street wise Philadelphia cops. Her
vocabulary
would put a
street tough to
shame. Henry
Standing Bear
is whip-smart,
loyal, sensitive,
and willing to
put himself on
the line for his
friends. Death Without Company has
Walt investigating Lucien’s contention
that a death in an assisted living facility
was not from natural causes. Lucien, the
former Sheriff, trained Walt and their bond
is deep. Walt puts his career on the line
to solve a mystery with ties to the past.
Kindness Goes Unpunished moves the
action to Philadelphia where Cady, Walt’s
daughter, is an up and coming attorney.
Another Man’s Moccasins opens with
a dead Vietnamese woman found along
a lonely stretch of highway. Her purse,
with a picture
of Walt as a
young Marine,
is found among
the possessions
of Virgil White
Buffalo in a
nearby culvert.
Walt
doesn’t
believe Virgil is
the killer; he is
intent on finding the right
culprit. Dark Horse takes the story down
the road at a breathless pace! Mary is an
unlikely murderess, a kind, quiet woman.
The night her husband Wade was shot six
times she had a gun in her hand and a confession on her lips. Walt doesn’t believe
Mary’s confession.
Junkyard Dogs is one of Johnson’s
best. The opening scenes are unforgettable. County dumps and expensive
housing developments do not make good
neighbors. How far would Ozzie go to get
rid of George’s dump, the blight on the
horizon of his pricey houses? Throw in a
version of Romeo and Juliet for the older
set, and you have the main ingredients for
a heady brew of mystery, greed and passion. Walt has more to solve than the en-

Chalk, by Bill Thomson
Three children discover a set of
chalk that brings their drawings to
life in this wordless picture book.
The sun shines when a little girl
draws a yellow orb, butterflies flutter with the second child’s artwork.
But what will happen when the third
child creates a dinosaur? The intricately detailed acrylic and coloredpencil illustrations practically step
off the page!

Mama, Is It Summer Yet?,
by Nikki McClure
It’s the same question we’ve been
asking all spring: “Is it summer yet?”
As the buds begin to open and the
ducklings come out, a little boy asks
his mother when summer will arrive. The cut-paper style handsomely
shows the change of seasons, using
the repetitive question to help you
enhance your child’s literacy skills.
Ages 2 and up. H
suing mayhem. Deputy Santiago has the
willies since being partially eviscerated in
an earlier book. Santiago is a good man;
Walt doesn’t want to lose him. So he
starts thinking up ways to build Santiago’s
confidence and keep him busy. Walt’s
strategy runs into a obstacles.

Scott Cook is
the best guide
for fun things to

His

great care to make his book the best resource for local and tourist alike. Now he

Children’s
Book Review
About the Author
By Willa Robinson
Willa Robinson is an author and
publisher with a vision to encourage and
inspire children to start dreaming about
their future at an early age. Robinson believes children will mirror Willa Robinson
author of the “I Will Be” Children’s Book
Series what they are taught and shown.
Robinson’s career spans more than 25
years of advertising, marketing and publishing experience. Robinson knew at an
early age she was going to be a writer.
After being injured in the horrific train
wreck on January 26, 2005 in Glendale,
California where 11 people were killed
and 180 were injured, she made a decision to fully express her ultimate purpose:
writing and publishing. Robinson is the
visionary behind Knowledge Power Communications.
The idea for the the “I Will Be” series
was birthed from her sleepless nights and
therapy after the train wreck catastrophe. Robinson believes children need to
identify with professionals that look like
them, and who have come from similar
backgrounds. Robinson also believes that
there are so many careers that kids never
even think of because they don’t get the
publicity that is deserved.
Robinson feels her hard work, genuine
love for people, her strong faith in God, a
good support system - her family, friends
and mentors - have been the key to a happy and successful career. All of these elements have allowed her to the freedom to
pursue her dreams.
A native of Kansas City, Kansas, Robinson now resides in Valencia, California.

On May 23rd, the bravest of La Pine’s population arrived to observe the new sign dedication, and bid on the previous sign during its auction. Dressed in snow coats and boots
because of the unfortunate weather, the people of La Pine came ready to see the community’s proud new accomplishment. Dan Varcoe, La Pine Chamber of Commerce Executive
Director, began the event with a bit of history of La Pine’s original sign. He then proceeded to describe how Centennial Park new sign dedication:
the new sign came to Mayor Shields and Dan Varcoe presenting
be. The community the sign.
of La Pine reached
its 100th birthday
and people throughout the city began
to brainstorm about
what its gift would
be. After agreeing that a new sign
would be the perfect
gift, the citizens of
La Pine did the rest.
Linda Stephenson of
L&S Gardens in La Pine, read off name after name of many contributors to the signs
induction. She also proudly said, “If you’re going to live in a community, you’ve got to
give back to it”, and that is certainly what the citizen donators did, not stopping at the sign
alone. The whole piece of land on the corner of Huntington and HWY 97 became a grassy,
scenic park, for all to behold. In fact, it was even dubbed by La Pine’s own mayor, Kitty
Shields, La Pine Centennial Park. Shields gladly dedicated the new sign to the city and
its people. She was sad to see the old sign (of 20 years) go, yet she relished on the fact
that everything had to change and differ at some point. She emphasized that the change
brought a stronger sense of community and identity to La Pine.
The day had not reached its end- there was one more thing all the people had held out
for, and that was the auction of La Pine’s old sign to the highest bidder. The bidding started
off at 200 dollars. The hope for the bidding was to make enough money to buy a plaque to
place in the small park, with the newly christened name engraved on it. The bid increased
more and more until twice the starting bid was reached, to where the bidding stopped and
the highest bidder turned out to be, Melanie Gibson who had recently settled in La Pine.
Gibson enthusiastically said that she was thrilled to have won the sign and had plans to use
it for decoration in her backyard. She said that after moving to La Pine a short while ago,
she was very interested in becoming involved in the community and was already feeling
welcome in the city’s proceedings. The citizens of this family-like city work hard every
day to make a special impact on the world. The beautiful new sign, a seven-foot, real saw
blade, with blue and white painted mountains, says it best; Small Town Bright Future. H

Not to long ago, but still before my
time, there was a synthetic estrogen drug
known as diethyistilbestrol, or DES, that
was banned from being used as both human medicine and a growth hormone in
chickens. It was one of the first synthetic estrogen’s used in the US back in the
1930’s. By the 1960’s DES was banned
after being linked to cancer risk.
At envirocancer.cornell.edu, they address the concerns of the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA-approved hormones
that are added to foods. Hormones are a
natural part of all animals, even humans.
They control our reproduction, growth, as
well as mind and body development.
Currently, our FDA has approved six
to be added to cattle. Estradiol and Progesterone, natural sex hormones; testosterone, the male sex hormone; and Zeranol, trenbolone acetate and melengesterol,
all synthetic growth hormones. In dairy
cattle rbGH is used to boost protein and
keep milk flow. While no current scientific evidence exists to show any real problem with adding hormones to our meats,
there is speculation that this may be causing some problems for our children.
Studies show that girls who hit pu-
berty early have been found to have association with breast cancer. While diet, exercise, genetics, and body mass play a role,
steroid hormones that register higher than
normal are also suspected. There were
tests run in Italy and Porto Rico however
no conclusive evidence has been found.
I also found research at www.sustainabletable.org, that states due to European
Union’s Scientific Committee’s concern
of hormone residue disrupting the human
balance, meats from the US are banned in
places overseas. The US and Canada are
listed as the main places hormone-added
meats are sold.
Since there is no hard evidence to
indicate treated meats leave behind any
residue that are higher than normal levels
than what are normally produced, there
are meats sold that do not have hormones
introduced. “USDA Certified Organic”
meats are free of artificial hormones.
My oldest daughter is only in the 3rd
grade. Girls her age, as well as herself, are
beginning to have changes in their bodies. We may never know what is bringing
on these changes at such an early point of
life but we should be there as parents to
guide them through these changes. One
thing I’m learning is that while my daughter struggles to understand changes going
on with her, I struggle to keep answers
truthful but age appropriate. Since we
have daughters, they prefer to talk to me
rather than their dad about the more private things in growing up. Only time will
tell how these talks pan out.H

BUDDY THE CHURCH MOUSE
THE CABIN
Buddy The Church Mouse loved the cabin’s rough, wood floors.
He could run real fast! They were about the same color
as he was, so he wouldn’t be easy to see. And
the gurgling sound of the stream would hide
his noises. Oh, what fun he could have!
Look at all these beds! Some of the kid’s
bags were on the floor and some were on
the bed. “Wahoo! I have all kinds of things
to explore,” Buddy said as he ran back up
the bed and back into George’s bag and sack
from some more smashed cheese.
Buddy darted back out of the bag and smelled around
the next bag. “Nothing good in there,” Buddy said as he climbed
down onto the floor. It was mostly Buddy’s nose and stomach that
determined what was ‘good!’
A wonderful quilt was half lying on the floor. It has a small tear,
just perfect for Buddy….sort of dirty and smelly…”Perfect for a
mouse,” said Buddy, and back out he climbed to checkout some more
territory.
“Crackers! Awesome peanut butter and crackers,” said Buddy.
They had dropped on the floor and were somewhat broken but
tightly wrapped. Hmmm! Maybe later!
Buddy found a water bottle that wasn’t quite shut. He tipped it
over and drank the little water spurt that shot out. “Perfect,” said
Buddy. “This place has plenty of food, water and good places to
sleep.”
Slide, tumble, stomp….here came the campers! “I gotta hide,”
said Buddy.
He ran past one bed, two beds, and the door slammed open!
Where was Buddy to hide? Into the old quilt on the floor he
popped, just as a camper walked past. “Oh, I almost got stepped
on…nobody better step on my long, skinny beautiful tail,” said Buddy, as he curled it around his body while in the old quilt. H

New Image & Future for La Pine Community Health Center
Qualified Health Center (FQHC), and efforts are underway to dispel the Center’s image
as a “low-income clinic”. The Board of Directors officially changed the name from
“Clinic” to “Center”, hired a professional designer to create a new logo, and began making plans to replace the old signs in front of the building. Relocation and a new building
are also being discussed.
In an interview with Gugenberger, he explained that being a FQHC allows their
organization to receive federal grant money to run the Center. In turn, the Center will
accept all types of patients and charge them on a sliding scale.
“With the federal grant that we get, we’re allowed to provide services based on the family’s annual income. The patient may end up only paying a
co-pay for whatever we do for them or some larger
percentage based on their income ,” explained Gugenberger.
The Health Center applies for a yearly grant,
which is typically approved every year, since they
are exceeding the grant’s expectations: the goal is
19,861 visits per year for the grant, and they are
predicting it will reach about 21,000 visits for the
year.
Al Gugenberger,
There is still room to grow this number, since
CEO for the Health Center
they only have about 6,000 registered patients at the Center and there are close to 22,000 people that live in the greater La Pine area.
“There’s a lot of unmet need out there...here we have a pediatrician, we have a family practice, we have all these providers here. We can pretty much do everything that
they need to do, they don’t really need to go to Bend”, said Gugenberger.
One of the needs that is being met is through the Heart Center that provides many
different types of Echo Services. Visiting specialists perform echocardiograms, or
sonograms of the heart, record the data, then relay the information to a doctor. The work
can be done in La Pine, without having the patient travel, but sometimes the results must
be interpreted by a Cardiologist in Bend.
A service that is lacking at the Center is Obstetrics. Any woman planning to have a
baby must visit a doctor at a larger center, likely in Bend. The Center currently has no

square feet. If the Board moves forward with a building project, it may be 2013 before
it is completed.
Gugenberger said that if they get a new building, it will help improve the Center’s
image even more, and show people that the are not a “poor people’s clinic”.
“We take care of all people- self pays, insured, Medicaid, Medicare- everybody.
That’s how we keep our doors open...Some people think that we’re strictly for the poor
people and that’s not true at all”, assured Gugenberger.

Center will receive a new Digital XRay machine in July, which will reduce
X-Ray turnaround time from 48 hours
to less than an hour. This is done by digital imaging that can be transmitted over
Fiber Optic lines rather than by courier
to a radiologist in Bend. After the Fiber
was installed in early May, the Center
planned for renovations to start on June
16th and will last 30 days. Patients will be referred to Bend until the machine is ready for
use. The upgrade was made possible by a $250,000 Capital Improvement Grant from HRSA.

Toxic Wasteland
By Peggy Boone, The Health and Wellness Group
I recently met the most delightful 80 something La Pine man
who said to me, “There is only one disease and that is toxicity.
Once people realize this and take measures to get rid of the toxins
they will be able to cure themselves of all their other ailments.” I
wanted to reach over and kiss Al Hendrickson. This is what I’ve
been saying since Article One in the Newberry Eagle and Al was
able to say it in one sentence! If you could see Al, you’d understand why his statement is totally believable. He is a clear eyed, well-spoken, energetic
man who is devoted to learning about health.
We are toxic wastelands. Most are appalled at what has happened in the Gulf as a
result of the oil spill, though we may not realize that our bodies are in the same state of
toxicity. Sadly, we have the tools and the means available to clean up our bodies, but
most choose not to do so! Sound dramatic? Well most life-threatening events are drama
– take the oil spill in the Gulf as an example.
Look at the people in your life. How many are overweight and bordering on obese?
How many people do you know with poor complexions, cloudy eyes, low energy, high
blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, thyroid issues, or cancer? Each of these ailments is a byproduct of toxicity.
We are bombarded with toxins from food, water, air, household chemicals, fertilizers, lotions, soaps and shampoos, and even from the interiors of our vehicles. Since
our body was not designed to cope with so many toxins and begins encapsulating these
toxins with fat in an effort to protect our organs. People begin to get bigger and with
weight gain come complications of heart disease, diabetes and so on. Eventually the
free radicals overcome our bodies. What about the skinny people who are exposed and
ingesting the toxins? They are at an even bigger risk because they have no intermediary
defense (fat), thus becoming even more susceptible to free radicals.
Weight is not the only culprit contributing to high blood pressure, elevated levels
of LDL cholesterol, heart disease and diabetes. Most often it is poor diet and a lack of
fresh fruits, vegetables and fiber. However don’t think that buying commercially grown
is going to make you toxin free as these fruits and vegetables, unless labeled certified
organic, have been treated with insecticides, herbicides and pesticides. The same chemicals used to kill the pests are being ingested by us with the same result.
What can you do? Become aware of toxins and eliminate those you can. Next complete
a nutritional cleanse and lastly, replenish your body with the best nutrition available.

Stress, fatigue, and pressure are just some
of the words that come to mind when I think
about the feelings associated with life’s
ongoing set of worries. Thus, I set out to find
the answer to this month’s question.
“How do you relieve the stress and pressure in your life?”
“I like to be alone, to process and gather my thoughts. I do not want to say something
I will regret later. If that doesn’t work, then I try an intense workout.”

ture data. In addition to reducing energy cost for pumping water, SIS conserves water
and reduces fertilizer use and run off. The system takes into account the specific type of
crop planted when determining when (and how much) to irrigate. Annual energy and
water savings can be more than 10%.
Pump Motors: Upgrading a pump to a NEMA Premium Efficiency unit can substantially reduce energy consumption while improving irrigating efficiency.
Irrigation System Upgrades: Replacement or installation of high-efficiency irrigation equipment qualifies for incentives/rebates. Nozzles, brass sprinklers, gaskets, regulators, drop tubes and multi trajectory sprays are simple change-outs. Repairs of leaking hand lines, wheel lines and portable mainlines also qualify for incentives/rebates.
Variable Frequency Drives: In some applications Variable Frequency Drives (VFD)
save energy and increase the performance and life span of industrial grade motors.
VFD’s are like dimmers for motors, providing soft starts and slow ramp-up speeds that
extend the life of the motor. VFD applications are only for turbine irrigation pumps,
centrifugal pumps are not included in this program.
Lighting Upgrades
In addition to energy cost savings between 25 to 50 percent, energy efficient lighting
upgrades can increase visual acuity and equipment life. Additional benefits can include
enhanced security, worker safety, improved
productivity and quality of work.
Wineries
Wineries are the fastest growing segment within the agricultural community.
There are nearly 1,000 wineries and vineyards in the Pacific Northwest today. Many
of the processing applications at wineries
- crushing, de-stemming, pumping, cooling and fermenting are ripe for energy improvements. Energy saving enhancements
such as lighting upgrades, HVAC, pipe insulation, compressed air, variable frequency drives and refrigeration are all eligible
opportunities within the Save Water Save
Energy program.

Stress and Self Sabotage:
The Enemy Within
Photo and Article Submitted By Wendy Duncan, Life Coach
There is an uncanny and a deep relationship between stress and self sabotage. On
the conscious level, we all want happy and
healthy lives with everything else in place.
However, due to stress, circumstances, subconscious conditioning and many other such
factors, we ourselves tend to jeopardize our
own opportunities and situations which are
known as self sabotage.
Often, people get so overwhelmed by
stress that they react in a way which causes
further stress. Stress makes it difficult to objectively analyze the situation and make the
right decisions and judgment. Hence, further
conflicts and problems are created which tend
to worsen an already existing situation.
So, how does one deal with self sabotage
induced by stress? For certain people this
kind of stress may be an occasional or even a
rare phenomenon. However, for others it may
be a way of life. Many people actually start liking stress because they are quite prone
to self sabotage and restricting their own progress in life. If you feel that stress is also
responsible for self sabotage in your life, then you need to consciously take control.
Here are certain stress induced self sabotage behaviors:
Type “A” personality people: Type “A” personalities are those who are impatient, aggressive and have a short temper in every situation. Naturally, these kinds
of people are always under stress. Since they are stressed out, they tend to further
complicate issues by ignoring the finer aspects. As a result, stress makes them quite
prone to self-sabotage.
Negative self talk: This kind of self sabotage is common with people who were
constantly criticized, ridiculed and told that they were no good in their child hood.
As a result, they grow up believing that they cannot do anything right and are constantly doubting their own abilities and of the people around them. This creates
unnecessary stress in their minds. They are forever looking for the problem; or the
sorrow; in the happiest of the situations, which creates undue stress in their minds.
Resolving conflict: People who are either doormats or unduly aggressive tend to be
under a lot of stress as well. These people do not know how to be assertive and hence
are either very aggressive or submissive. Aggressive people cannot sustain relationships due to their aggressive attitude and people who are submissive keep cringing
inside since they are constantly ignored by people. As a result, they are quite prone
to self-sabotage in their life and relationships.
Overworking: Workaholics or people with packed schedules also tend to take too
much stress on themselves and their bodies. As a result, their relationships tend to
suffer which leads to further stress.
The Solution: Problems related to stress and self sabotage can be solved by realizing the power of the mind. Positive affirmations, meditation, a positive attitude and
regular rest and relaxation can help prevent self sabotage induced by stress.

“Capotes, Coats, and Other Wonders”
Costumes at the Annual Rendezvous

and have modern style handles. Photos by Wendy Korn.
We’re not talking Truman Capote any more! Being introduced to “Capotes” (coats
that tied around a person’s waist and were made from heavy woolen blankets, leather
inserts, beads and various fringes) was a new experience. Let me explain.
Those of us new to this experience found out that there was a modern camp for
people like me and a primitive camp- where people dressed and camped like the mountain men of legends and only those who cooked, camped and dressed primitively were
allowed to set up their camps. Children and dogs were everywhere. Wood smoke drifted
through the air as people prepared meals and gathered together for salty talk and relaxation. Primitive camps consisted of canvas tents, rustic shelters in the forms of lean-tos
and traditional teepees, mostly of oiled canvas. Competitions in black powder rifle
shooting, tomahawk throwing and pistol shooting, with results tallied at the end of
the weekend.
Both the modern campers and Black powder participants emulated historical dress.
Men and boys wore a variety of wool or solid cotton trousers that had a four-corner
flaps with only buttons or hooks and eyes. Shirts were full-sleeved tunics with a large
opening at the neck and plenty of room in the shoulders and sleeves. Men and women
did not wear undergarments during the period of 1823 to 1849 when the actual Rendezvous took place, so fabric for these items was usually very heavy and durable canvas.
Darker colors were favored in winter. White in summer. Outer garments were usually a
combination of furs, skins or the traditional Capote described above. Men topped their
heads with a full crowned beaver top hat or fitted round hat. Historically, once the trap
lines were set and they were taking in fur bearing prey, the mountain men used furs to
add warmth and create a variety of what we refer to as raccoon skin, wolf, coyote or
other fur hats of all designs.
Ladies wore full gathered skirts, a solid colored blouse and closely fitted vest to
keep their midsection away from flames. When they wore a dress it was often similar
to traditional Indian garb, a simple tee-shaped dress that hit about mid calf. The dress
was made from buckskin or, as the mountain men traded furs for cloth, sometimes it
was made from cambric or printed cotton. The ladies had bead embellishments, ribbon
streamers and little else adorning their apparel. Fabric, being expensive made for minimalist design. Most women supplemented their clothing with a couple of heavy shawls
made from homespun or knitted from yarn. They too, wore Capotes.
Both men and women wore belts for attaching knives, pistols, bags and other items
that showed off a man’s station, a measure of wealth and ability to carry what he needed. When adorned with bead work, these items were a subject of pride.
Walking through the camp we were treated to period clothing on all of the primitive
campers. (The moderns dressed up, too.) There were even a few men who got into the
traditional warm weather Indian tunic and breechclout. In the evening, I saw one man
who tied on leggings to keep his legs a little warmer. (He gave all of us a little sumpin’
to talk about!) The men who dressed in such a minimal way also had very minimal
camp shelters and little equipment. No more than a man could strap onto his back and
continue his journey. A visitor felt like they were really in another place and time. H
The Foodie Column
“Easy Camp Cooking”
I attended the Ponderosa Mountain Man Rendezvous for the first time during the Memorial
Day weekend, and it rekindled my joy of camp
cooking. I may even try my hand at the Dutch
oven style of cooking that was prevalent at the
event. But until then, I am scrubbing up my old
white gas stoves and working on cooking a few
meals outside on the deck. (When I add my little
barbecue, I can do almost anything!) I am also
preparing for more camping as I write!
The strategy behind easy camp cooking when you are out in the Wilderness is the
planning. Beforehand, I cut up my carrots, celery, onions and bell peppers and put them
into freezer bags to use in soups, stews and stir-fries. I mix up flavored butters to spread
on slices of sourdough and then pan-fry them on the camp stove until they are crispy
and flavorful. Served up with a steaming bowl of meaty beans or a hearty stew, the fry
bread scores high on the tongue’s “happy meter”. When it comes to meat, cut up your
meat into serving sized portions and freeze before you put them in your picnic cooler.
They will stay safe and be perfect for the barbecue or fry pan at camp.
Meal planning involves figuring out breakfast ingredients, lunch fixings and dinners depending on the days and number of people you will be feeding. I always bring
camp-ready box food like Bisquick, cans of baked beans, canned soup, peaches, pears,
pineapple, and canned veggies. Remember the small necessities as well: sugar, pancake
syrup, coffee, salt, pepper, ketchup, mustard, a favorite barbecue sauce, peanut butter,
tea bags and cocoa. I place frozen foods in one cooler for camp meals over the course
of the weekend. I use another cooler with ice for fresh milk, half & half, eggs, cheese,
drinks, sandwich meats, salad items, fresh fruits and bread and butter. Don’t forget the
oatmeal and raisins. It is fabulous to have a steaming bowl of oatmeal, a good cup of
coffee and a piece of fruit for breakfast when you are waking up on a cold morning in
the great outdoors!
I also want to tell you how much time you will save when you organize your camp
cooking pans, dish washing equipment, soap, towels, wash cloths and water basins. I
have a new basket for my dishes, cups, glasses and silverware and cooking utensils, too.
Throw in a couple dishtowels and you are ready to load up and head out to your favorite
spot. Then, all you will need is a tent, a folding table and chairs, sleeping bags, air mattress and your personal items and you have a reasonable vacation ready to load into the
trunk on a moment’s notice. (With a couple large water jugs, you can camp anywhere
and enjoy being outside, away from the usual hustle and bustle.)
I hope you can agree with me when I say that food cooked and eaten outside is always better than anything you eat anyplace else. Good Eats and Bon Appétit! H
Mountainous Amounts of Food
Served at Rendezvous
The tantalizing smells of cooking meats, vegetables and sweets drifted over the
festivities throughout a Memorial Day weekend event hosted by the Ponderorsa Mountain Men. On Saturday, local Dutch oven
experts, Ann and Gerald Gawith set up their
portable Dutch Oven kitchen and prepared
two dishes for participants to sample: a
chicken dish made with white hominy and
south of the border spices (i.e. Pozole) and
a hearty bean dish that would satisfy any
empty tummy.
After serving up their “bill of fare” for
several hours, the Gawiths put on their judging hats and set up 30 feet of table space and
accepted Dutch oven dishes and desserts for
judging at the Potluck event 6:00pm on Saturday evening. People brought in pot after
pot of their favorite entries until the tables
were covered with a variety of Dutch ovens.
The Gawiths (right) went to work trying to
decide which dish should be number one!
People set up chairs to watch patiently as
the the two judges sampled their way along
the table.
Finally the winners were announced: a
Gumbo made by a first-time Rendezvouser,
and a dessert dish of Better Than ‘Anything’
Chocolate Cake won the honors. After the
judging awards were given, participants
lined up, tin plates in hand and partook of
the victuals until they disappeared. The array of food offerings was spectacular and at
the end of the day, the entire camp settled
into food stupors that quieted the forest until the next day! H

“Rocking” Around Oregon
Bring on the hounds! The rock-hounds, that is.
Everyone who lives in Central Oregon knows that the Sunstone is Oregon’s State
gem. But did you know that a short drive (well 4 hours isn’t too short) brings you to
the desert where you can dig for Sunstones? Sunstones are a variety of feldspar. These
stones are found in India and in Tanzania, but the stones found in these two areas have
inclusions of hematite and are not clear enough for faceting. what’s even better is you
can actually discover them in Oregon- and lots of them!
These beautiful gem-quality translucent sunstones are found only 20 miles northeast of Plush, OR, in the Rabbit Hills. One can find many clear sunstones here, but the
most valuable stones are the ones that contain color. Stones of red, green and yellow
facet into beautiful gems of value. “Watermelon”, a stone with a red center surrounded
by a green halo, is highly sought and prized.
Roy and Debbie Harris, owners of
“Desert Rock and Gem” here in La Pine,
guided us on our first sunstone dig. We
spent five and a half hours in the rain,
wearing garbage bags, head down, looking for the stones. While there, a teenager from our group found a 37 carat
‘dichroic”- a red and green sunstone.
Roy, a master at gem faceting, cut the
stone into a 10 carat “emerald cut”.
Beautiful! At that point, my wife and I
were hooked!
At Rabbit Hills, you have your
Sunstones that can be found in Rabbit Hills.
choice of fee dig areas in the established
mines, or you can go to the BLM land and dig for free. The fee-for-dig mines include
“The Spectrum Mine” and the “Dust Devil Mine”. The prices vary, but both mines have
web-sites so you can go on-line and check out the various options they offer and the
costs for each. The book, “Gem Trails of Oregon”, details the location of both the mines
and the BLM free-dig areas. We have found many stones at both of the mines and at the
free-dig areas. And, yes, we found “color”. During our last visit to the BLM free-dig
area, another rock hound showed us a 50 carat sunstone he had just found laying on the
ground next to his trailer.
Here in Central Oregon there are many areas where you can find agate, various colors of jasper, thunder eggs, fossils, petrified wood, obsidian, and other semi-precious
gems and stones. The map, “Central Oregon Rockhounding Map” details rock
hounding areas and gives a pictorial description of the stones and the areas. Just
yesterday, using the map, my wife and I
took our 13-year-old granddaughter and
her friend to Hampton Butte where we
spent four hours digging in the dirt. We
found Hampton Green petrified wood,
agates and a ton of multi-colored jasper. Yep, you heard right.we kept two
teen-aged girls totally involved for four

The La Pine Ya Ya Sisterhood Celebrates its 2nd Annual Amazing Race
A Special Thank You to Local Merchants who helped make it a resounding success!!!
On May 15th, 2010, the La Pine Ya Ya Sisterhood Society held their 2nd annual
Amazing Race. The participants, 7 teams in all, had a fun-filled day thanks to the organizers, Karin and Steve Oldham and Judy and Bill Knox. They were ever so clever with
their clues which sent us all around the greater La Pine area. This event started at 9:30
a.m. with coffee and muffins at Home Entertainment Systems and ended with dinner at
the Holy Redeemer Catholic Church. The following local merchants were kind enough
to help by giving out certain items and clues to keep the race moving:
Home Entertainment Systems, L&S Gardens, MidState Electric
Cooperative, La Pine Senior Center, Ace Hardware, Judy’s Iron On
Sparklers Business, Quail Run Golf Course, Rays Grocery Store,
Shop Smart , The Buck N More Store, Habitat for Humanity
Restore, La Pine Bowling, Figaro’s Pizza, Pit Stop Pizza,
Hair Design by Deena, & Holy Redeemer Catholic Church
The La Pine Ya Ya Sisterhood whole-heartedly encourages our community members
to patronize these merchants who give back to their community. We are already looking
forward to next years Amazing Race.
Women who are interested in the La Pine Ya Ya Sisterhood Society, whose mission
includes self-growth, friendship and giving to the community, can join us at one of our
monthly meetings. Meetings are held the 2nd Wednesday of the month at the Mid State
Community Room starting at 5:00. - Ya Ya Sisterhood H
