It started looking like an
angry mob at the DEQ meeting held
at the Jackson County Auditorium
on February 18, everyone wanting
to be heard and not quite satisfied
with what the DEQ was saying.
Fortunately, following a break,
speakers were limited to one at a
time so everyone could hear.
The issue, and this is a
really hot topic, is the dumping
of human waste onto fields near
Sams Valley Elementary school
and Highway 234. Clearwater
Technologies has made application
for the disposal of biosolids on
land designated EFU (Exclusive
Farm Use), which the DEQ has
previously decided is an approved
beneficial use.
However, residents of the
area, object to the dumping on
grounds of safety to themselves,
to the children at the school, to
domestic livestock and to wildlife
frequenting the area. One of the
main concerns is the passing
through of pharmaceuticals and
waste from illegal drugs, especially
methamphetamines. While the
DEQ representatives did allude
that the treatment neutralized most
of the medications, the question of
Meth still lay on the table.
Audience members
signed up to speak, if they chose
to do so, and many did. The 6 p.
m. meeting did not get started on
time due to the large number of
people crowding into the room. It
was estimated that perhaps 250
people showed up for the meeting.
DEQ explained that the
dumping would apply 38,600
gallons per acre of biosolids on
the land, perhaps as much as one
million gallons in total in a single
season. They explained that
dumping would take place during
summer months and they felt water
would evaporate and the solids
would break down.
At every turn, citizens
challenged findings of the DEQ,
especially the claim that the
dumping would be harmless.
Following the heated
discussions, comments were
accepted of those who had signed
up to speak. Reports were that it
was a calmer meeting following the
break.
One avenue for people
to have their voice heard on this
subject is to take written comments
to the DEQ office at 221 Stewart
Ave., in Medford before the
deadline of February 27. The DEQ
will not take comments following
the 5 p. m. deadline. Officials did
say that comments should be hand
delivered to their office, rather than
through the email system. Given
that information, those who wish
to weigh in on the subject should
definitely take comments there to
make certain they have arrived.
The White City Community
Improvement Association is offering
a $100 reward for information
leading to the return of the frog
that was stolen from Burns Park
on Division Road on February 7.
The frog may be dropped
off and no questions will be asked,
at the Cascade Pool, the White City
Sheriff’s Office or the White City
Community Improvement office
or, if you have any information of
the frog please contact: White City
Sheriff’s Office at 541 864-8800
and please refer to case # 15-2577.
You may also contact the WCCIA
Office at 541 830-0044 or the
Cascade Pool at 541 826-2124.
The frog is green and
yellow, and a photo is available
by contacting the WCCIA.

Many folks in the valley
will remember that former Jackson
County Commissioner, Ric Holt was
at one time son-in-law to Arizona
Senator and presidential hopeful,
Barry Goldwater. That was in the
days of Holt’s association with Gulf
Oil. Holt and his wife Peggy had
three children, and they were invited
to the unveiling of the Goldwater
statue in the Capitol Rotunda in
Washington on February 12.
John Holt who lives with
his father in Ashland, made the trip
to see the unveiling as did several
members of the Goldwater family.
The ceremony was attended by
House Speaker, John Boehner,
by House minority leader, Nancy
Pelosi, Senator Mitch McConnell
as well as Arizona Senator John
McCain and Arizona Secretary of
State Michele Reagan.
According to John Holt,
it was a quick trip and a beautiful
ceremony, but it is equally nice to
be back home. The event can be

Editorial
Enter Yemen
Enter Yemen.
Not that a lot of us even know where it is on the map, but this
tiny country on the southern tip of the Saudi peninsula is the latest entrant
into civil unrest. Pull up a map to check it out, and the area immediately
surrounding Saudi Arabia is filled with strife, all the way from Libya on
up through the Ukraine and any number of countries ending in "-stan."
We have become so numbed by the news of another group
fighting for freedom (?) we don’t bother with it. Better to watch some
inane soap and take our collective minds off an unpleasant subject.
But recent history reveals that the temperature and tempers in
the entire region are up over what they were just a few short years ago.
Recently, I had chance to do some reading on one Albert Pike,
a school teacher, lawyer, and a confederate general, even though he
was born and raised in New England. For his acts for the confederacy,
he was serving a prison term when pardoned by President Andrew
Johnson. He was something of a revolutionary but one significant fact
of his life is that he wrote a letter outlining the three world wars and not
only that, gave the timing of the events and the outcomes.
What is scary is that he appeared to be spot on with the first
and second world wars. His prediction of the outcome of the third world
war was that nations would be forced to join a one world government
as the only way to lasting peace. Keep in mind that these predictions
were written between the years of 1859 and 1871.
The last of his wars was to be a clash between the Israeli and
Muslim worlds in which they would annihilate each other to usher in the
one world government. Looking at the conflicts in the Middle East at
the present time one can see that final battle at Armageddon unfolding.
It is a scary time to be living and the life expectancy in the Middle
East must be short--at least shorter than it has been for the past few
thousand years.
Was Pike right? Only time will tell. It certainly looks as if we
are heading into a huge war, and I’m not sure that any of the players
are doing anything at all to put out the fires.
One thing is clear from all this, it is going to be a very interesting
year and you just may want to fasten your seatbelt because it promises
to be one wild ride.

Shady Cove City Council
By
Christy
Pitto
For The Independent
The bulk of the February
19 Shady Cove City Council
Meeting was the Rogue Valley
Council of Governments
( RV C O G ) a n n u a l r e v i e w,
presented by Michael Cavallaro.
With 23 members and finances
in the black, RVCOG has several
services which can help cities
and citizens. Arguably the largest
aid to citizens is their Senior
Meals program, which served
5,000 meals to area seniors last
year. The City of Shady Cove is
most likely to take advantage
of RVCOG’s grant assistance
programs, they both help cities
apply for and help manage
grants.
The few items under New
Business were quickly handled.
Council directed Administrator
Aaron Prunty to draft an ordinance
regarding Medical Marijuana
Facilities to be discussed at
the next meeting. A request
for a reconsideration of sewer
fees made by a city laundromat
was deferred. Presently the
business is approximately a year
in arrears on their payments.
Council concluded that if they
can get their payments current
by the end of this fiscal year,
fees will be reviewed. However,
there is no guarantee of any
fee change. Lastly were two
requests to send City employees
to training. Per Mayor Tom
Anderson, the requests come to
council per the Union Agreement.
The Mayor feels they fall under
Administration’s prevue and
plans to have contracts re-worded
to reflect this during upcoming
contract negotiations. With
Council’s agreement (no formal
motion), the training requests will
be left to the discretion of Prunty.
There are still openings
on both the Planning Commission
and the Budget Committee, so if
you want to get involved, pick up
applications at City Hall.
Informing the public through HB 2501
Sen. Doug Whitsett
Rural Oregonians have
become all too familiar with the
devastating effects of catastrophic
wildfires. Those of us in Southern
Oregon have witnessed the
incredible destruction of the 2002
Biscuit Fire and the 2012 Barry
Point Fire, as well as the Bryant
Mountain and Oregon Gulch fires
in 2014. Allofthesewildfirescaused
severe damage and desolation on
both public and private lands. The
Oregon Department of Forestry
(ODF) is charged with protecting
most private and state owned lands.
Land owners pay ODF
an annual assessment to defend
their property against wildfires.
The assessment insures that ODF
will actively attempt to suppress
wildfires but does not insure
against losses caused by the
wildfires. The State also allocates
significant funding to support the
fire suppression efforts.
ODF currently reports
the cost of wildfires as the total
amount of loss caused by structures
damaged or destroyed by fire, the
cost of the fire suppression effort
and any human injuries or deaths
resulting from the fire. These factors
comprise only a small portion of the
actual cost of wildfires.
The Department reports
may actually convince stakeholders
that the damages caused by
wildfires are much less that what
actually happens. They fail to
provide a full portrait of the true
losses, and may even serve to
persuade citizens that losses are
minimal.
In fact, Oregonians are
often told that wildfires can have
benefits that, weighed as a whole,
may actually be favorable and
helpful to the forest and rangeland
environment.
I worked my way through
college and professional school
fighting fire for the United States
Forest Service. During that time, our
“hot shot” crew helped to suppress
about 40 wildfires in nine western
states. I have yet to see an out-ofcontrol-fire that is beneficial to any
environment!
There is currently no
requirement in state law that
agencies or Department officials
report on the fire-related losses
to private property owners. That
is why I have joined my wife,
Representative Gail Whitsett in
sponsoring House Bill 2501.
HB 2501 requires that the
State Forester provide information
regarding the losses of timber,
buildings, fencing, livestock and
grazing capacity on private lands
in a report to the members of the
Emergency Board for each fire of
1,000 acres or more.
A public hearing was
held on HB 2501 in the House
Agriculture and Natural Resources
Committee on Thursday, Feb. 12.
Representative Whitsett and I
testified in support of the bill, along
with representatives of the timber,
ranching and farming industries.
The presentation appeared to be
well-received by members of the
committee. No one testified in
opposition.
We often hear rhetoric
from environmental groups and
others claiming that wildfires are
“natural” and can be beneficial
to the forest and rangeland
environment. Unfortunately, many
federal foresters have joined in
that chorus. I have a broad depth
of personal, firsthand experience
that tells me otherwise.
The costs of wildfires not presently
being reported are significant. They
include the value of the timber that
is incinerated, killed or otherwise
damaged. The value of forage that
is incinerated is also not quantified.
This is particularly important,
because that value is lost not only
during the year of the wildfire, but
often for at least the next two years
as the landscape tries to recover.
Real estate values can
be dramatically reduced in the
aftermath of a wildfire. Oncepristine acreage becomes ghastly
reminders of the true tragedy of the
holocausts of wildfires. Virtually no
one wants to locate their home in a
burned-out forest landscape.
The value of killed and
damaged livestock is not quantified.
Those animals often sustain burns
that results in their deaths or in
significant loss of production. The
overall loss of forage, grazing
opportunity and overall production
to agricultural, farming and
ranching operations is immense
and ignored.
Wildlife, birds and
fish are killed during and after
wildfires. Those creatures are often
incinerated along with the forest
and rangeland. Many others are
burned too severely to survive.
Other direct and indirect impacts
include the runoff of ash and
sediment into streams. The result
is both immediate fish kills and
long-term habitat and spawning
degradation. The erosion caused
by fire damages watersheds for
decades, if not for generations. The
resulting prolonged loss of fish and
wildlife habitat is enormous.
And despite the
implementation of heavy-handed
regulations allegedly for the sake
of reducing greenhouse gas
emissions, our agencies don’t even
attempt to estimate the emissions
caused by wildfires. The massive
emissions from wildfires are
actually second only to volcanoes
as a global source of greenhouse
gases.
The best efforts of ODF
to provide wildfire protection are
complicated by the nearly 25,000
miles of contiguous border in
Oregon that the agency shares
with lands managed by the federal
government. Out-of-control
wildfires that start on federal lands
often cross those boundaries,
resulting in massive damage to
ODF protected private lands.
There is little that ODF
can do when a firestorm half a mile
wide races across the federal forest
boundary. I believe that the failed
federal management of public
resources will never be corrected
until the people truly understand
the magnitude of the cost of the
mismanagement that is the direct
cause of huge losses to private
resources.
Much of the gruesome
damage is the direct consequence
of the lack of knowledge regarding
the actual impacts of these horrific
events. We believe that the
public truly must understand the
magnitude of the real costs of that
mismanagement before we can
expect to see a change in these
failed federal policies.
HB 2501 represents a
start toward providing the public
with the information they need to
understand the scope of those
losses. The bill is not written to
require, nor is it intended to require,
a detailed catalogue of all of the
damages caused by wildfires. But
it is meant to ask ODF to provide
rough estimates of objectively
measurable losses caused by
wildfires on ODF protected lands.
That, to me, is a good
start towards obtaining the sensible
management policies that this
state, and its rural residents, truly
deserve.
Please remember--if we
do not stand up for rural Oregon,
no one will.
Today (February 17), a
motion to refer the hidden gas tax
found in Senate Bill 324, known as
the Low Carbon Fuels Mandate,
failed on a party-line vote in the
Oregon Senate. The minority
report, carried by Senator Alan
Olsen (R-Canby) and Senator
Chuck Thomsen (R-Hood River)
would have allowed Oregon voters
to have the final say on a hidden
gas tax that could raise fuel prices
by as much as $1.00 per gallon.
"I am disappointed that my
colleagues across the aisle refused
to give Oregon voters a chance
to vote on this Carbon Mandate
that results in a hidden gas tax
on working Oregon families and
small businesses," said Senator
Chuck Thomsen. "This ‘hidden
tax’ disproportionately harms low
income and rural Oregonians
without putting a single dollar
toward improving roads and
bridges around the state."
The Oregon Department
of Environmental Quality claims
the Low Carbon Fuels Mandate
will raise gas prices between $0.06
and $.19 per gallon. Independent
studies show the effect could
be over $1.00 per gallon. Tax
measures are required to originate
in the Oregon House and go through
a thorough process examining
revenue impacts. Because the tax
in the Low Carbon Fuels Mandate
is ‘hidden’ through a program that
requires fuel producers to buy
credits directly from renewable
energy special interests, the bill
bypassed the revenue process.
"This program will
harm Oregon families and small
businesses," said Senator Alan
Olsen. "Because it relies on a
fuel supply that doesn’t exist in
commercial quantities, Oregonians
could have to pay as much as
$285 million additionally per year
at the pump without making a
dent in reducing carbon emissions.
Oregon voters deserve the chance
to decide if this is a trade they are
willing to make."
Senate Democrats Refuse
To Send Hidden Gas Tax
Measure to Oregon Voters
House Republican Leader Mike McLane (R-Powell Butte)
“Today’s revenue forecast brings welcome news to the people of Oregon:
our economy has produced enough tax revenue that we have hit the
kicker. The projected $349 million individual income tax kicker will provide
much needed tax relief to hard-working Oregonians across the state.
“While our state economy is projected to continue to grow, we must
remain focused on addressing the issues facing both our rural and urban
communities, including creating and attracting family-wage jobs and
improving infrastructure and public safety across the state.”

For the Independent
Sometimes it’s just a
matter of digging deeper, asking
more questions, or simply
not giving up too soon. Like
most people I know, I hate the
frustration of defeat. I figure if
something could be done, given
enough time and effort, I probably
could do it.
One obstacle that
seemed to contradict this,
however, dealt with two cats’ ear
mite infestations
First veterinarian that
had originally examined Mimi
and Verdi pronounced them ear
mite free. Either that vet erred; or
the man who rescued, then gave
me the kittens did; or, the felines
contracted the infestations
after I brought them home.
Since previous cats that lived
here didn’t have the problem, I
doubted possibility # 3.
The second vet that
treated these pets showed me
evidence that they had ear mites.
He sold me a liquid to squirt
generously into each kittens’ ear
once per week for six weeks.
The tiny animals didn’t hold
still enough for that. I wound
up wearing more than got into
the little ears, and I ran out of
the chemical long before the
recommended six-week dosing
period. I renewed the supply, but
still kept missing the target on
subsequent attempts.
When I took them to
a farther distant third vet clinic
for neutering, that staff sold me
a mite killer in thicker gel form.
They said to massage it deeper in
each ear, and repeat applications
daily for ten days. Again, cats
wouldn’t hold their heads still,
and shook vigorously until I wore
more medicine than they did.
But the intrepid mites survived.
By using just two human hands,
medicating the pets this way
couldn’t succeed. It required at
least a third arm to hold the kitty
still during the process.
So, I tried throwing
myself on the mercy of yet
another animal hospital. “There
must be a way,” I insisted. “How
do other aging weaklings get rid
of felines’ ear mites?”
“We have a product
you can apply to the skin at
the nape of the cat’s neck once
monthly for three months,” they
said. “It’s designed to kill fleas,
ticks, ear mites or even parasitic
infections such as worms. It’s
called Revolution Selamectin.”
Family friend “Buck”
visited three times, to hold the
cats still while I dispensed the
product from its Frontline-type
container as directed. What a
difference!
Next time that I suspect
I’m stymied, I’ll ask the experts
much sooner.
Easier ways to do things
Around the House
AROUND THE HOUSE
Carpe Diem—Seize the Day
By Lynn Leissler
For the Independent
One of my sons recently celebrated
a decade birthday, drawing me to
photographs of his infancy and
early years. A friend emailed a
picture of our daughters, hers
6-1/2 months old, mine 3-1/2. My
youngest child wasn’t yet born in
those photographic memories.
Other scenes showed my parents,
now gone, marriages now ended,
houses no longer called home.
Time goes forward, sometimes
crawling, sometimes marching, at
other times marauding—although
the last word implies plundering.
Indeed, the years have plundered
and come away with treasures
and trash.
Adam’s birthday and my visual
nostalgia had sent my thoughts
in such directions, which is why
I embrace my friend Anne’s new
philosophy—live for today. She lost
her husband in an instant, a freak
accident. She knows there are no
guarantees.
When Peggy suggests a
spontaneous activity, I’m in. When
grandkids ask to come over, I’m
good with that. A Christmas picture
several years ago shows four of
them lined up, wearing aprons I’d
made, the girls’ with JOY appliquéd
on the front, the boys with their
initials. One is now a teen. Soon
they’ll be taller than I and perhaps
not wanting to hang out at Nana’s.
Lest my thoughts sound like those
of an old lady, let me make two
things clear. One, I am not old.
And two, none of us knows our
tomorrows.
I’m in an in-between spot on writing
projects, a great time to continue
cleaning out, paring down. The
garage sale pile grows, as does
the give-away stack. I’m checking
some neglected projects off the
list, surprising a friend or two with a
phone call or a note, or a promised
garment repair. And there’s an
end in sight with the photo albums
project.
Last week’s false spring wooed
me outside, even though the inside
list loomed large. In February, one
needs to carpe sunny diems, for the
rains will return and the temperature
plunge.
Money often serves as a deterrent
to saying yes to activities. Short of
true poverty, most of us are able
adjust funds to incorporate fun.
The cost of a play or concert can
be squeezed out of the eating-out
or other non-essential budget
categories.
Plan ahead where necessary, but
live for today. Wisely. Grab life by
its coattails and enjoy the ride. In
the end, we don’t know the length
or circumstance of the journey, ours
or anyone else’s. Photo albums
prove that.
Annual Financial Check-up
The Annual Financial Check-Up
Don’t ignore it. Here’s why.
Presented by David C. Smith,
CFP®
Here’s the scenario … you
get a card in the mail, one of those
little reminders that tells you it’s time
for your annual financial checkup.
Your reaction: I’ll take care of that
later. Here’s why you should look
forward to it.
Why do I need an annual
review? Because things change,
and during the course of the
last 12 months, you may have
… changed jobs, made major
purchases, welcomed a new child,
retired, bought or sold a residence,
decided upon new goals. These
developments can change your
financial objectives. Also, it is just
sensible to measure your financial
progress. If you are not making
progress in accumulating assets, or
if you are assuming too much risk
as a result of your current portfolio
or financial decisions, it’s time for
change.
The annual review is
a “deep breath” where you can
get away from daily distractions
and think clearly about financial
planning.
Just imagine. Imagine
letting your investments go for five
or ten years, assuming that they’re
doing okay while you wonder what
the quarterly statements mean.
Imagine being a few years from
retirement only to find you have
less than a year’s salary in savings.
Imagine passing away and leaving
unresolved money issues for your
loved ones, or subjecting them to
a contentious probate process.
These scenarios are all
too real; people run to financial
advisors for help with them every
day. If they had only reviewed
what was happening with their
lives financially, they could have
planned to avoid these issues in
advance. Putting things off can be
dangerous.
This is an ideal time to take
a look under the hood – financially
speaking. During your annual
review, you can estimate your net
worth, and also possibly learn about
any tax changes that might affect
your investments, business or
estate. It’s also a good time to make
voluntary IRA contributions, and
get college funding and financial
aid applications underway.
Financial planning is
not an event you do once in your
lifetime and forget about. Financial
planning should be an ongoing
priority.

Got a problem with slow or clogged
drains? I did, so I turned to the
encyclopedia of You Tube to see
what I could find.
Turns out that some
common household products work
very well for this purpose and for
many other cleaning chores.
White vinegar and baking
soda can do the job. Place a
quarter cup of baking soda in the
drain, poking it down so that when
the chemical reaction begins, the
solution is in the area where it will
do the most good. Pour white
vinegar into the drain and it will
make a volcano that any third
grade science experimenter would
be proud of. After the bubbling
stops, follow this with hot running
water and enjoy clean drains. This
treatment is not toxic and is easier
on both drain pipes and septic
tanks.

Saving money and trees
F. C. Blake
For the Independent
For years I paid all my bills
by check. How silly. I’d actually
open envelopes I took in from my
mailbox, and pull out dreaded debt
advisories. Next, I’d write checks,
insert them in the creditors’ selfaddressed envelopes; affix firstclass-postage stamps, and mail
everything back.
Then the utility companies
would mail me letters imposing
guilt trips about all the trees
that would survive if I stopped
doing things that way. Yet, they
continued mailing me their monthly
indebtedness reminders. If saving
trees meant that much to them,
I wondered why they didn’t use
recycled paper for their part. Or
better yet, why not quit bothering
By Ralph McKechnie

TomFreeman hasturned a
hobby into one of the most beautiful
of decorative arts imagineable.
Tom,followingasuccessful
career as an electrical engineer, felt
the need to get his hands dirty and
at the same time create something
that is of value and of exceptional
beauty. Thus was born the idea
of decorative works mostly for the
wine industry.
The Freemans were living
in the wine country of California
and Tom saw some of the unique
craftsmanship that went into the
decorative pieces adorning wine
tasting rooms and wineries in the
area. With his skill at the computer,
and a desire to produce or duplicate
some of the fine works, he came
up with the 1/10 barrel design,
which is basically the end of a wine
barrel refurbished and carved with
a CNC mill with some of the more
intricate works imaginable. After
some initial success, he started
a business creating works for
wineries, restaurants and other
specialty shops.
Following a move to
southern Oregon, the business,
called eWoodArt was born. The
shop is located in Gold Hill, though
the Freemans now reside in Eagle
Point. And their list of products has
increasd along with the quality of
their work. They currently make
products from all parts of the
60-gallon barrels they purchase
from wineries after the expected
useful life of the oak vessels. Barrel ends are used for
the decorative medallions, staves
are used for signs in specialty
shops and they have developed
a line of simulated barrel tops in
two different sizes they build from
scratch. These new products,
they hope to produce in mass
quantities, to keep the costs down
and to appeal to a larger market.
Tom says that Berretta, the firearms
manufacturer, are interested in
some of their works for use in
specialty shops.
The heart of their
manufacturing process is a CNC
mill that does the majority of the
carving. They purchase patterns
for many of the decorative designs
that produce. They also have a
local artist that paints many of the
pieces, to the customer’s order.
Some of the pieces appear that they
should be hanging in museums.
The quality is outstanding.
The newer product line is
a segmented turning that is glued
then shaped on a custom router
setup which puts a perfect vertical
inside surface and an angled
surface on the outside of the piece
to make it appear to be an actual
segment of a wine barrel. That
machine operation requires two
routers with a spinning turntable
to get the correct shape. When
the initial shaping is done, then the
decorative carving is done on the
inner surface to make a finished
piece. Most of the interior carving
is completed with a v-shaped
pointed router tool then cleaned
and painted with the correct color
to the customer’s order. Work is
slow, because of the precise nature
of the design work. Tom says that
a router bit may move just a tiny
fraction of an inch with each pass
before the final carving is done.
As always, the work of
producing a finished product is
just a small portion of the process.
Sales are done online--for the
most part. The most difficult part,
according to Tom, is getting the
word out that they are in the
business of producing some very
fine pieces of art work.
eWoodArt.com will get you
to the website and gallery photos
show many of the works of art they
me about the urgency of payments’
timeliness? Logically, if I had paid
quarterly instead of monthly, fewer
checks, stamps and envelopes
could’ve resulted, thereby rescuing
more trees.
I’d also write checks (made of
paper) to pay for items I bought in
stores. More bad news for plant
life. When I ran out of checks and
ordered more blank ones, my bank
would impose charges for these
new check books.
Everything changed recently
when I read some leaflets that sat
on my bank’s display rack. “Get a
rebate on every purchase when
you use your credit card.” Why
didn’t I know or realize that? This
could save checks, postage, fuel to
drive to the mailbox, plus the forest
environment. So, I started taking
my plastic card into grocery stores,
shopping malls, and bargain
havens.
Utility companies next
introduced me to online billing that
usually worked in the environment’s
favor, as well as mine.
With my annual homeowners’
policy renewals, I used to pay
extra for identity-theft insurance.
Also silly. Another of the bank’s
leaflets offered it as an included
free service that goes with each
swipe of the same little plastic card.
And today if I should travel,
I won’t have to spend anything
for car-rental insurance. That’s
covered by my auto’s insurance
policy.
Anew concern creeps into my
crowded brain. All these generous
rebates I’m getting from credit
card usage will now show up as
income on my bank statements.
Therefore, on April 15, I’ll probably
owe more in tax money to both the
I.R.S. and Oregon State Revenue
Dept.
Neilsens share adventures

Those who have missed
the lecture series of Dan and Carole
Neilsen have simply missed a very
special treat. This pair of travelers
visit exotic places and are willing
to bring back treasures to share
with the community. And what a
wonderful delight that is.
Their February 17 lecture,
one of 30 that Carole narrates, was
the history of the Oregon Trail.
Presented before an audience in
the meeting room of the Shady
Cove Library, guests delighted to
her trace of the mass migration of
people from the east to the western
Plaines, the mountains and finally
the promised land of the Oregon
territory. Carole shared photos and
drawings of many of the people,
places and things that were part
of the great exodus from the east.
Many of the earlier travelers played
a significant role in the founding
of the new territory and some
became prominent names here in
the Rogue Valley.
Carole said that the
popular perception is that the
American Indians hunted and killed
thousands of pilgrims along the
route. But she said that image is
totally in error. Many of the Indians
were friendly and helped travelers
along the way. More travelers died
from cholera that from any other
single cause. This was not to say
there were no hostile actions by
the Indians but they were usually
provoked by the settlers.
Nearly everyone lost
family members along the trip
(one of my family members died
and is buried at the small town of
Meacham, north of La Grande).
Everyone walked, except for the
extreme elderly or the very young
and when they came to the last
leg of the journey, they turned
their wagons into canoes to make
the trip down the Columbia River
to Portland and the Willamette
Valley. From there, they enjoyed a
respite and the going was relatively
easy as they worked their way
south. Some eventually made it
to the Rogue Valley, thanks to the
Applegate brothers who found a
southern route through the rugged
mountains separating eastern from
western Oregon.
According to Neilsen,
a trickling of people came west
in the very early 1840s, but by
1843, the number had increased
dramatically. During that year,
1,000 people made the trip, and
some 5,000 head of livestock
also came along with the wagon
trains. Food for the immigrants
was normally carried on wagons,
but supplemented by whatever wild
game the men could shoot along
the trail. Much of the household
items brought by the settlers ended
up littering the trail, making it easy
for future wagon trains to find their
way across the wilderness.
A popular misconception,
according to Neilsen, was that the
settlers rounded up their trains
during the night to prevent Indian
attack. She said it was to construct
a rudimentary canal to keep their
livestock from wandering off during
the hours of darkness.
According to Neilsen, the
Russians, Spanish and English
were the first peoples to inhabit
the area. They were trappers and
mountain men, searching for pelts
from the plentiful beavers. After
the beaver was on the decline and
fashion changed, there was less
demand but those who returned
to civilization told stories of the tall
trees and fertile valleys which cause
folks to want to see for themselves.
Neilsen didn’t say it, but
our federal government didn’t
want any of those countries to
gain foothold on this continent,
so they too told of riches beyond
imagination. Thus the movement
began.
Neilsen pointed out that
the railroad was completed in
1869, and that ended the misery
of traveling 2170 miles in a wagon
or on horseback.

Wild Herbs
By Dennis Ellingson
The Winter Herbs?
February is often called the
cruelest month with winter storms,
cold temperatures and a forlorn
garden. So what do we do? Get
out, way out, past the garden and
into the woods and look around!
As you are discovering, I have
really enjoyed foraging these last
few years. And there are foraging
opportunities during the winter. If
you live where the Maple grows
which includes Sugar Maple, Red
Maple or Broad-leafed Maples,
then this is a time to consider
tapping for Maple Syrup. Pure
maple syrup is full of so many
minerals and nutrients that it is the
healthy way to get your sugar fix.
But have you priced this stuff at the
store? Wow. We all know that the
Red and Sugar Maples back east
are the source for syrup. But the
trees grow well here in the North
West and there may be one near
to try tapping. But our own native
Broad-leafed Maple trees can also
provide the valued syrup. Some
folks locally are doing this, tapping
in the late of winter when the sap
begins to flow. Maybe a good
reason to learn to do this yourself!
If you are fortunate to live out west
then California Bay or also known
as Oregon Myrtle is something
to consider. More than likely, on
your spice shelf is an old tin of Bay
Leaves. This is a great seasoning
that does much for flavoring of your
favorite meat dish or stew. But the
ones on your kitchen shelf have
probably lost their potency.
You can gather your own.There

are many places to find these trees
but a good area is north of Butte
Falls and near Mt. McLoughlin. This
is an evergreen so it is a little easier
to find in the winter because its dark
green leaves stand out against the
dullness of winter. This is as simple
of a foraging as you can get. Collect
a few branches, remove the leaves,
wash and then let naturally dry and
within a few days you have leaves
that are ready for the kitchen.
Bay Leaves added to a soup or
stew have great flavor and is a good
digestion aid. You can also make a
tea from the leaves, and one leaf is
all you need. You may find that the
tea has a nice warming and calming
effect. Caution however, you don’t
need to use more than one or two.
And the dried leaf is non-edible so
discard it before you serve.

This week we’ll meet a
pretty spectacular local moth, the
Pacific Green Sphinx (Proserpinus
lucidus). Lucidus is Latin for "clear,
bright, shining", a perfect name for
this gorgeous moth! The Pacific
green is also called a “Bear Moth”,
another good moniker as they do
look like little teddy bears! Smaller
than most local Sphinx moths, the
Pacific green is just under one inch
wingtip to wingtip.
The Pacific green is seldom seen
by folks because it hatches much
earlier than most moths when
people aren’t yet thinking about
looking. They hatch January-March
and the males are out and about
looking for love and plant nectar
from sunset until dawn. They are
drawn to porch lights, so that’s your
best bet for seeing one.
As caterpillars they have a limited
diet of Evening Primrose and
Clarkia plants. I had several
Evening Primrose come up last
spring, so this was the first time
I’ve had the chance to see the
Pacific Green!

Eagles Fall
By Tim O’Sullivan
For the Independent
What has already been a season
of disappointment for the Eagles took a turn
for the worse as Senior guard David Barber
will not return this season due to injury.
Barber himself made the
announcement to the Upper Rogue
Independent following the Eagles 79-56
defeat against Marist on Friday night. Barber
hasn’t played since suffering his second
concussion of the season on January 27th
against Ashland.
"Too many concussions in too short
a period of time," The Eagles lone returning
starter said, also suffering a concussion back
in December. "(It) isn’t good so they’re not
gonna let me play again."
"It was hard to handle honestly,"
Barber said of finding out his senior season
was over. "I’ve been working hard for three
years, and this is the time where it’s supposed
to be a climax of high school. It was hard."
The Eagles were also without the
services of sophomore pivot Jax Bell who
suffered from the flu. Bell hadn’t been able
to attend school all week.
Bell’s absence created an even
larger height disadvantage, as Marist’s front
line included players at 6’10, 6’8, and 6’6. No
player suited up for the Eagles was taller than
Poor first half sinks Eagles
6’3. The disadvantage was apparent from
the opening tip as Marist (13-6, 7-3 MWL)
dominated the low post throughout.
Center Spencer Hoffman, led the
Spartans with 18 points.
Ethan Devore, the Eagles tallest
representative, knocked down a pair of early
threes to force an 8-8 tie early on. But a
subsequent 7-0 run put the Spartans ahead
for good. Guard Austin Tyner’s four points
in the last 30 seconds pushed the lead to
21-11 at the end of the first quarter.
Devore scored all of his 15 points
in the first half to keep the Eagles somewhat
close. But the lead for Marist stretched to 20
less than two minutes into the third quarter,
turning the rest of the game into garbage
time.
Wyatt Hunter took advantage of a
wide open second half to lead all scorers with
24 points, including 15 in the fourth quarter.
The Eagles (7-12, 1-8 MWL) loss
was their 12th in their last 14 games after
opening the season 5-0. With their 5Aranking
at 27th, the Eagles now find themselves on
the outside looking in for any chance at a
post-season birth.
Barber will be one of seven seniors
honored on Senior Night, February 24th
against rival Ashland.

While a valiant second half rally
fell just short for the Lady Eagles basketball
team, it was a poor first half that proved too
much to overcome in a 31-30 defeat against
league rival Marist Catholic Friday night
inside the Main Gym.
Junior guard Adrienne Wood
spearheaded the comeback, knocking down
four of her six three-pointers in the fourth
quarter alone. Her attempt at a seventh- a
desperation half court heave- glanced off
the front of the rim as time expired.
"I hate that more than anything," Wood said
of the comeback effort that fell short. "(But)
we just kept saying ‘we’re gonna fight, we’re
gonna fight.’ I thought we did pretty well. We
came literally an inch short."
The comeback effort nearly erased
what was a disasterous offensive first half.
In committing 12 turnovers, the Eagles shot
just 3 of 20 in the first half in trailing by 10.
They failed to score a single point in the first
quarter, with Wood’s two missed free throw
attempts at the 2:12 mark serving as their
best opportunity.
Sydney May’s lay-up at the 6:36 mark of
the second quarter finally broke the scoring
drought.
The offense finally came alive in
the third quarter, mounting a 9-2 run over
the first four minutes. Wood knocked down
a pair of threes as the Eagles enjoyed a 12-5
advantage, bringing the deficit to just three.
Wood’sperimeterbarragecontinued
early in the fourth with a pair of threes, the
second at the 5:45 mark to give the Eagles
their first lead of the game.
Just as the offense heated up, the
perimeter defense cooled down as Spartan
point guard Annie Yates hit a pair of threes
thirty seconds apart to retake the lead.
Wood then found more room beyond the
arc- granted about 30 feet from the basketas a pair of wild threes found their mark to
erase a five point deficit. The Eagles had
their final lead of the game 30-29 with 1:37
to go in the game.
May committed an offensive foul
inside 30 seconds, but Kim Knudtson missed
the front end of a one-and-one on the ensuing
possession.
Following a timeout, Wood had
the ball knocked from her hands into the
backcourt. Though she recovered, critical
seconds ticked away, only leaving time for
a desperation half court heave.
"I made some lucky shots," Wood
said of her six made threes, most of which
came from well behind the three-point line.
"It helped us get some energy for a while...I
felt good getting back in rhythm."
Marist (11-10, 7-3 MWL) swept the
two games against the Eagles (11-9, 2-7
MWL) including a 54-48 win on January
16th.
Eagle Point wraps up the regular
season with Senior Night against rival
Ashland on January 24th at 6 p.m.
without any diet plan other than the
plan a person works out with their
physician. Each of their meetings
begins with a weigh-in, and folks
are rewarded when they achieve
certain results. One of the methods
of weight control, according to
Rosalie, is to learn to properly read
labels.
Worksheets are available
through TOPS, which graphically
lay out an eating plan that contains
the correct proportion of foods or
the correct serving size. While
no foods are off limits, Rosalie
explains that everyone is different
and therefore, it is not about eating
the wrong foods, but keeping within
the proper limits.
TOPS explains the top 10
reasons for joining: TOPS helps
you to take off Pounds Sensibly,
Provides support for all stages
of the journey, supplies the tools
you need for success, empowers
you at weekly chapter meetings,
celebrates your achievement,
enables you to live your dreams,
supports obesity research, is
affordable, benefits you and your
family and has staying power.
The Shady Cove chapter
of TOPS meets on Thursday
mornings at 9 a. m. They feature a
program on healthy foods, exercise
and support.

TOPS leader Rosalie
Gaither of Shady Cove has been
helping folks achieve their weight
goals for nearly 30 years. This
leader of the Shady Cove group,
one of many in the Rogue Valley,
has obligated herself to others to
help them achieve their goals. She
and others do this by holding people
accountable and by encouraging
those to not take one bite more
than they should.
The TOPS program is
pretty much about accountability
and encouragement. Rosalie
explains that folks come into a
group with a set of goals that
they have worked out with their
physician. They then share those
goals with the group and together
they encourage one another to stick
with their plan. TOPS international
has a set of bylaws as does each
of the local chapters. When a new
member joins, they receive a new
member kit with many materials
that help keep them on track to
reach their goals.
Once a person achieves
a target weight, they are eligible
for the KOPS (Keep off Pounds
Sensibly) group and encourage
them to stay the course, as the
case may be.

people with weight management

I can’t be the only one
who notices this. Intelligent
Americans have learned how to
conserve effort and maximize
efficiency in speaking. Yet, when
we consider our written alphabet,
how many have ever observed
that, with one exception, the
spoken name of each letter
requires just one syllable? So we
use initials to shorten spoken and
written titles. Instead of saying
“Internal Revenue Service,” for
instance, we say “IRS.”
In TV crime scripts,
police might use “APB” for
“All Points Bulletin,” or “FBI.”
instead of “Federal Bureau of
Investigation.”
We have it easier
than speakers of some other
languages. In both the Italian
and the Spanish alphabets, some
letters require two entire words
to identify them.
But, we know what
the glaring American English
alphabetical exception is, don’t
we? The letter W. It takes three
syllables to name it.
For airline owner Howard
Hughes, it was really shorter to
say, “Trans-World Airline,” (four
syllables,) than “T. W. A.”(five
syllables.) No wonder the dear
gentleman eventually lost his
sanity.
Even Texans resorted
to shortening former president
George W. Bush’s’ nickname
to something that sounded like
“Dub-ya,” for two syllables.
Why don’t we just
rename the troublesome letter
altogether? Look at all the
acronyms and syllables we could
save. Note the benefits to our
vocal cords.
The letter could look the
same, but we could call it “Dub,”
“Wu,” “Wah,” or even “Wuh.”
School kids would soon learn to
end the alphabet by reciting or
singing “....u, v, wuh, (or ...u, v.
dub, ) x, y, z.” They can do this;
children learn to adapt.
Even
retiring
Commissioner, Don Skundrick,
once commented in jest that he
referred to his then colleague, C.
W. Smith, simply as “Dub.”
Maybe if we were
Hollywood celebrities,
or Ivy League University
Deans, Academia might
take our suggestions more
seriously. TOPS helping people

Jackson County Farm
Bureau members heard county
commissioner Doug Breidenthal
during their monthly meeting at
the Black Bear Diner on February
17. Breidenthal addressed several
items of importance to Farm
Bureau members.
His report began with a
general financial condition of the
county, saying that they are "rock
solid." He followed that comment
with a report on the condition of
the Jackson County Expo and Fair
and told members that they are
considering an RV park to raise
money for the Expo and for the
Parks commission.
Another hot topic of late
has been the wolf issue, and
commissioners have decided
against forming a committee
to determine compensation for
animals taken by wolves. Their
reasoning to the decision to wait
was that there was little money in
the state pot and that one animal
would wipe out any money pool for
depredation. Breidenthal said the
"problem is small and insignificant
right now."
Breidenthal also reported
that the Rural Schools money
from the federal government is
disappearing. Currently there are
moves to make it more permanent
while opening up forests for cutting.
Breidenthal did report that Senator
Wyden has proposed a three-year
payment with nothing at the far
end to continue money coming to
timber-dependent counties.
The commissioner also
touched on the human waste
dumping in Sams Valley. While
the use of property is legal, it has
a number of residents upset with
the owner.
The marijuana issue,
Measure 91, was passed by a
majority of voters within the state,
but no provision has been made
for enforcement for OLCC, who is
responsible for enforcement of the
substance.
Jackson County will pass
a second amendment resolution,
but Breidenthal said it is just a
resolution carrying no weight in
the scheme of things. He also
commented on numerous tax
issues that are currently before the
legislature, some of which might
raise the price of fuel by as much
as $1.
Glenn Archambault
complained that the planning
department needs a change in
personnel or a serious change in
attitude.
Before dismissal, Melisa
Damon of the Cattlewomen
announced that Dalton and Ruth
Straus, along with Bob and Tessie
Fisher have been nominated for
the Heritage Award. She also
noted that there is to be a huge
fundraiser for the Cattlewomen
and Stockmen’s Association with
a grand prize being two tickets
to the National Finals Rodeo with
dirt-in-your-face close seating for
one day at the Rodeo.
The Farm Bureau meets
monthly, on the third Tuesday of
each month. Currently, they meet
at the Black Bear Diner in Medford.
Meetings begin at 7 p. m. following
dinner at 6 p. m. for those so
inclined.

F.D.3 Fire Fighter commended
F. C. Blake
For the Independent
At FD3’s Board meeting
on February 19, Fire Fighter Tyler
J. Lockwood received special
recognition for saving an Eagle Point
resident’s life. When asked before
the meeting’s start, what he’d done
to receive a commendation from
his Chief, Lockwood’s modest reply
seemed understated. “I installed a
battery in a smoke detector.”
According to a report
furnished to The Independent by
FD3’s Executive Assistant Tamera
Nunez, a detail Lockwood rectified
the prior month impacted the
astonishing results.
According to Fire Marshall
John Patterson, District 3 takes
seriously the dismal percentage of
viable smoke alarms currently in
residential use.
“We have zero authority to
go into someone’s house,” Patterson
said. “If they don’t call us, we stay
out.” But if they’re responding to an
emergency call, while they’re there,
they check for safety factors. In 2014
these first responders installed 260
smoke detectors, and even more
working batteries than they counted.
On January 15, 2015,
Lockwood captained E.P. Fire
Engine7706respondingtoamedical
emergency on LorraineAvenue.The
one-story structure houses a six-unit
apartment complex. Lockwood’s
crew members tested the smoke
alarm, and detected a dead battery.
With the patient headed toward a
hospital via Mercy Flights, Lockwood
returnedtotheaddressandcorrected
the malfunctioning smoke alarm
situation.
Next day, the patient
returned home on sleep-inducing
medication. Later, loud blasts from
theworkingsmokedetectorjarredher
awake.Askilletrestingunattendedon
her kitchen stove produced a flame
several feet high, plus a houseful of
thick smoke.
Thanks to Lockwood’s
diligence, not only was the resident’s
life saved, but that entire apartment
building’s occupants also avoided a
disastrous fate.
Let’s do lunch
By Ralph McKechnie
Of the Independent
We’ve looked into many
causes of digestive problems over
the past few weeks, but here is one
that is often overlooked: water.
Despite all the contrary evidence
I can find in the recipes and the
diet plans, there is one thing that
stands alone and unchallenged.
The simple solution is called many
things, among them, the universal
solvent. But for the human body,
it is the absolute essential.
There are also those
who would disagree as to the
amount of water a person should
drink during a normal period,
but what has been most often
recommended, is that a person
drink half their body weight in
pounds in ounces of water. So
for a person who weighs about
150 pounds, the correct amount
would be in the neighborhood of
75 ounces. Seems like a lot, but
it is about 2 1/2 quarts.
But, I should get on with

it, let’s do a treat this week. The
following recipe is for a nice little
snack that can be eaten fresh or
frozen, with or without a topping.
It is easy to make in the blender
and won’t fill you too much.
In your blender, place
two ripe bananas, three eggs, 1
1/2 teaspoons cocoa powder, two
tablespoons of coconut flour, a
pinch of salt, about 3/4 teaspoon
of baking soda and an equal
amount of cinnamon. Blend until
smooth and place in a greased
muffin top pan. Bake in a 400
degree oven for about five or six
minutes and remove to cool.
They are wonderful to eat
fresh or can be saved in the fridge
or frozen for a later date. They are
wonderful with whipped cream
made from coconut milk and a few
sliced or crushed strawberries.
These fun desserts will
satisfy the sweet tooth without
filling out your pants.
