Beware Of Computer Scams!

Ring, ring, ring . . . “Hello? This is your Microsoft technician and we see you have a virus on your computer.” Whoa, STOP right there! Has this happened to you? If so, hang up and let’s talk! First of all, this is not a Microsoft technician. Second, they are not looking at your computer. Third, they will ask for your credit card number to pay for the work they are going to do. This is a scam by bad people. One of our customers gave them her credit card number and her checking account was cleaned out the next day. I have tried to tell the scammers who call that I build and repair computers, but they keep talking, so I found it best to hang up and let them call someone else, sorry to say. If you are concerned about your computer, please bring it to us. Most of the time, nothing is wrong, but we’ll clean it up and make sure it’s running well for an office fee of $75. If we find a virus, it’s $100. We haven’t changed our prices in years, because we feel we must meet the needs of the people without emptying their pocket books. Give us a call today.

“Salvage Sisters” at the Courtyard on 6th

New [Downstairs] Location for “Salvage Sisters” in Junction City By Gini Bramlett

The Courtyard on 6th St. hosts

two floors of unique and interesting small businesses. The Salvage Sisters, one of the newer businesses that is owned and operated by Kathy Rowland and Laura Spoerl has grown by leaps and bounds since the sistersin-law began their “salvaged” furniture and collectibles business last fall. Located on the second floor of the Courtyard since opening, they have recently relocated downstairs in the front right windows as you come in the door. “It’s a prime location,” said Laura, whose passion for all things old and salvaged spurred the business when Kathy, an antique lover, retired. “Now, you can see all our restorations first thing when you come in the door, rather than having to climb

the stairs. We’re so excited to have this opportunity.” Laura and Kathy spend time each week scouring yard and garage sales, resale stores and the like to find gently used chairs, cabinets, tables, and other pieces that are good candidates for a new life. Often they find new uses for them too, such turning an old cabinet into a kitchen island. “Sometimes they just need a little cleaning, a coat of paint and little stressing to make them look old,” said Kathy. “Others need more work. Sometimes we have to replace parts, add drawer pulls, wheels or other hardware to give the pieces an update.” When the ladies are done with the makeovers, the once discarded furniture transforms into new-look-

ing vintage pieces worthy of gracing anyone’s home. They also make vintage-looking signs and various other vintage-like pieces. Come to Junction City and visit the Courtyard at 264 W. Sixth St. where there’s always something new. It is located across from Pacific Continental Bank and is open Monday – Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Hentze Farm

FU NThe Area E VForEMoreNThan T S100 Years At Serves Centur y Old Hentze Farm!

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

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

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

Hentze Farm—A Food Preservers Paradise

Hentze Family Farm, on the outskirts of Junction City, is close to town yet off the beaten path, just a short distance away from Eugene’s River Road. A certified century farm serving local, national and international patrons since 1902, the farm has seen six generations of Henztes, yet continues to embrace the ambiance of a quaint historic farm in the country. Besides growing fresh fruits, nuts and vegetables for its farm store, Hentze Farm offers antique processing equipment that saves time for home preservers who pit cherries, snip/cut green beans, crack nuts, husk/cut corn, and shell peas. Gordon Hentze and his crew are happy to let folks watch them work while they process goods for home canners who prefer the convenience of machines. People can bring goods from home or they can process Hentze-grown produce that’s u-picked at the farm. Also on the farm, guests can view the Hentze farm animals from an inside perimeter for humans. “We have beef cows, pigs and we’ll likely have some young calves that we’ll be bottle feeding, with some goats, lambs, chickens, geese

Gordon Hentze

and guineafowl,” Gordon says. “We also have a shy pair of peacocks patrolling the grounds.” The Hentze Farm experience is further enhanced with the help of Gordon’s sister, Karen, and her husband, Gene— the farm’s grill master—who’s in charge of the Cook Shack where barbecues take place. Families are invited to savor barbecued meats and farm-grown vegetables accompanied by wine/beer/soft drinks to the sound of live music. The reservationrequired events start with a Hawaiian Night followed by a prime rib dinner and finally a rib night (see the dates and times listed above). With advance notice, hamburgers and hotdogs can be prepared for kids. For reservations, call the farm store at 541-998-8944 or send an email to karenmchay@yahoo.com. Watch Facebook and our website for further information. Starting early in October there will be rides to the pumpkin patch every weekend. The Hentze Farm fall experience comes alive with our no reservation Octoberfest on October 17&18. Food will be served from 11-5pm with live

music. We plan hot air balloon rides in the early morning, weather permitting. There will be rides to the pumpkin patch, pony rides, face painting and crafts. The BBQ will feature chicken, Philly cheese steak sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs and brats. For Halloween, families with children are invited to the farm’s night walk, a family fun event, with some visual and sound effects that are a little spooky but not scary. Follow trails lit with lanterns and awesome giant jack-o-lanterns. This stroll is very picturesque and enjoyed by all ages. See the dates and times listed above and check with Groupon for special rates. Visit the Hentze Farm on 30045 Hentze Lane every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from now until Christmas for produce, fresh meats, eggs and frozen pitted cherries and berries. The Cook Shack will be open Friday, Saturday and Sunday through the summer. For more information on the BBQ check Facebook, hentzefarm.com, or call, 541787-9115.

Thistledown Farm O p en Ever y D ay Apri l 15 thr u Novemb er 2 9am – 6pm

By Vera Westbrook ummertime is harvest time at Thistledown Farm, a locavore favorite that grows 90 percent of its farm-store inventory midway between Junction City and Eugene. From April 15 until Nov. 2, patrons will find more than 75 crops at the farm store as crops come into season, with favorites like bodacious sweet corn, peaches and no-spray u-pick strawberries and tomatoes. “All crops grown on our farm are harvested by hand and picked fresh daily, except for machine-harvested filberts and hay that we grow and bail,” says Thistledown Farm owner Pam Henderson. In 1981, Pam and her husband, Randy, purchased Thistledown Farm and turned it into a family operation with the help of their sons Jared and Ryan, who both have farm-related degrees from OSU. The farm practices sustainability and land conservation with no GMO seeds, while growing produce, nuts and flowers on more than 600 acres. “August, is our big month for peaches, corn, tomatoes and all sorts of row crops,” Pam says, with folks also finding caneberries such as blackberries into September. The cutting garden is also ready with flowers like Cosmos, Zinnias, Statice and sunflowers. It’s a fun activity for people to pick bouquets of flowers for parties and weddings. In September, people will see more August crops like bunched carrots and beets, and also cut basil and parsley that are bunched as well. The farm also grows greens like lettuce that’s kept fresh in the farm store’s cold case. Other popular crops are cucumber varieties and multiple summer and winter squash. Filberts, or hazelnuts, are harvested in late September or October. October is also when fun fall activities begin on the farm for guests of all ages. On weekdays, a tractor-drawn wagon takes patrons to the pumpkin patch, with folks getting a tour of the farm and the crops grown

October also sees a kid’s hay Thistledown Farm 91455 River Road 91455 River Road maze and a corn maze for everyone to enjoy. Living up to its motto of “take a trip to the farm and bring www.thistledownfarms.net home a taste of the country,” the To Thistledown Farm 3 mi. farm’s retail store offers Beltline Highway farm-labeled jams, preserves, dressings, syrups and honey Eugene yarded from the fields. Cookies, pies, turnovers and breads are also baked daily, made with farm fresh fruit and nuts, with Pam indulging customers on weekends with apple cider donuts. On hot days, guests are welcome to savor Lochmead ice cream while relaxing in the patio surrounded by floral decor. Farm patrons are invited to cross the covered bridge and visit with resident farm animals like Ariel the miniature horse, and Gyzmo the miniature donkey. Kids can also pet goats and visit with chickens, bunnies, turkey, and a guinea hen. The farm is also known for its hanging baskets beginning in spring, with Ryan overseeing the greenhouse crops including annuals and perennials grown on the farm for sale in April. He also grows vegetable starts for the farm’s fields with some starts available for customers. For more information, visit the farm on 91455 River Rd. every day from 9am-6pm starting April 15 until Nov. 2.

Christine Burkey (4th from right) joins other members of the Hospice Team at the site of the new Pete Moore Hospice House.

People with debilitating or life-

of life or chronic illnesses with their loved ones, and they don’t know what to do,” she said. As part of the Lane County community for 25 years, Cascade Health Solutions has created a network of programs to support people, especially seniors, struggling with health issues. Home Health provides services to seniors after an illness, injury, or medical procedure. The goal is to help people get better within their own homes. Hospice provides services to people-and their families-who are dealing with end of life issues.

Hospice House An additional option, Hospice House, will be the 14-bed Pete Moore Hospice House. Groundbreaking for this new facility, the first of its kind in the Eugene/Springfield area, occurred in July with an opening anticipated in 2016. As a community liaison, Christine educates and informs people about the variety of options available to fit their needs, often free of cost. “I’ve worked in the field for six years and I’ve gone through it personally,” Christine said. “We are all going to have to go through it, and the more information we have, the better choices we can make for our families and ourselves.” More information about Cascade Health Solutions home health and hospice programs can be found at www.cascadehealth.org or by calling 541-228-3050.

limiting illnesses and those who love them are often thrown into a world full of new terms and difficult decisions. As if the stress and uncertainty of illness isn’t enough, understanding the new words, terms, and options-like hospice, home health, and in-home care-can sometimes feel like an additional burden. Cascade Health Solutions, a non-profit located in Eugene has recently added two new terms to the mix: Transitions and Hospice House. The goal in adding these programs is to provide a continuum of care, to help make people’s lives Transitions easier. Transitions is a new program. Christine Burkey is a community Available for the past one and a half liaison who provides information years, the goal of Transitions is to about hospice and home health to people and organizations within the bridge the gap between home health and hospice by offering services to community. “I see so many families people whose health is declining, but who are like deer in the headlights who are not yet ready for hospice. when it comes to dealing with end Oregon Community Connection Magazine Summer 2015 Edition 16

Dr. James Martin Now at Junction City Medical Clinic

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

Hydration is a Must!

J.C. Medical Clinic Reaches 30-Year Mark

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

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

Need a board? Save yourself a trip!

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

You Need to Know!

“Did you know a properly maintained Heating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) unit can improve your vehicle’s engine health? (see answer below) Did you know that your Heating unit and Air Conditioning unit are, for all practical purposes, one in the same? Did you know that a properly maintained HVAC will allow you to be warmer in the winter and give you more effective defrost air for your windshield? (your HVAC dehumidifies) Before you get desperate during the summer heat waves, NOW is the time to get an air conditioner check-up. Putting off maintenance for an HVAC runs the risk of damaging it and likely end up costing you much more later on. Drop by during business hours and I will check fluids at no charge, then we can set an appointment to do a complete air conditioner service. Here’s the answer to the first question. On a HOT DAY the HVAC system is designed to keep YOU and your ENGINE COOL. For this to happen it is critical that the HVAC oil level and refrigerant charge is to manufacture’s specifications. We use ECO friendly products that will restore your HVAC system back to Brand New Vehicle Factory Charge Specifications.” — Bill Morrow — ASE Certified. Bill Morrow does complete work on all automotive and light trucks (6.0 L and 7.3 L Diesel operation & service).

People should be aware of the damage that trees can cause following rain, wind, ice, and snow storms. Those living near trees should avoid parking vehicles under trees. To avoid disaster, inspect trees before bad weather hits, because after the storm, tree service companies are booked too far in advance. A tree inspection now can prevent costly damage later to structures and vehicles. With a tree risk assessment from A-1 Ron’s Tree & Stump Removal, your tree’s health is checked to see if a branch has the potential to break. When tree experts Brian Jones and Devin DeMarce come out and work on a tree, they fully inspect that tree for future damage—a benefit other tree companies don’t provide. Brian says, “Unseen damage can also occur from squirrel chew, when a squirrel gets on top of a branch and eats all the bark so folks can’t see the damage from below. This weakens the branch over time. We also can tell if a tree will fall on a house, if a tree gets limb heavy on one side, or if it has the potential to fall over when soil gets wet. Call us to schedule a tree inspection today.” A-1 honors Military, Senior and Teacher Discounts through April

Office Equipment with a Difference

“As we all know, developing a team takes time, nurturing and a constant caring,” owner Dan Healey said. “We are proud of the talented and tenured staff we have put together. We are a family business doing business with a handshake and making sure your business runs smoothly with the very best products, and people to keep them working the way they should.” My father started in this business in 1963 as a salesman. Within 5 years he became the company’s GM for 29 stores. Then in 1972 he purchased the Eugene & Medford locations and started out on his own. He kept the same employees that he knew were the reason for his success and simply changed the name. National Photocopy was born. My father’s motto was “to do what is rightfor the customer, cost wasn’t the issue, integrity was”. I am proud to say that I had him as my mentor, and he instilled these qualities in me. I have carried these from the day I started as a delivery driver in 1978 through today as the President. I recognize that having quality people around you is what makes the difference between people that say they will give you good service, and those that do it. Same day service, and most importantly we fix it right the first time! We understand that everyone has different needs. We offer the most highly recognized brands in the business. Your needs may dictate something state of the art, or not-so-much. New, or refurbished, we treat everyone the same. In fact, our biggest pleasure is the constant repeat customers. That tells us we are doing our job right! Come experience what the National Photocopy difference is really all about. Is your current Canon dealer telling you they can’t service you anymore? Feeling forced to have to trade in the machine you love? Give us a call, we can help! We will offer you a service agreement on the unit you have. You have choices!

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

U of O Sports By Kirsten Albright U of O Multi-sport All-American Liz Brenner

Liz Brenner is a once-in-a-generation athlete who sets records in every sport she competes in. Most Oregon fans are aware of her accomplishments-volleyball All-American, track All-American, AAU Sullivan Award finalist and Oregon Sports Awards’ best woman athlete, just to name a few. But few Duck fans know that Liz isn’t the only Brenner at Oregon – her brother, Doug, is a redshirt sophomore on the football team vying for the starting center position. Graduates of Portland’s Jesuit High School, Liz and her younger brother Doug both set records during their high school years. Liz started her athletic career as a sixtime world junior champion in racquetball. In her time at Oregon, Liz has gone on to play volleyball, sand volleyball, women’s basketball and track and field. Liz is returning to Oregon’s women’s basketball team for a fifth year as a graduate student.

U of O Football Player Doug Brenner (Liz’s Brother) Has Awards Too Unlike Liz, Doug has only played one sport-football. Doug still followed his sister’s lead by playing both offense and defense in high school, at fullback, center and on the defensive line. Doug was the all-Metro league player of the year his senior year and was recognized with various other all-league and all-state awards throughout his career. Doug spent his freshman year redshirting, then spent some time at center his sophomore year. With Hroniss Grasu, the previous starting center gone, Doug hopes to win the starting position during fall camp. His only real competition will most likely be Matt Hegarty, a transfer from Notre Dame. The Ducks first game is Sept. 5, in Eugene, at 5pm, against Eastern Washington-televised on Pac-12 networks.

FURNITURE RESTORATION MADE EASY By Vera Westbrook Furniture restoration can be tricky, but experts at the Furniture Restoration Center of Oregon in Philomath are available to share their expertise. Whether restoring items for customers or helping them do the work themselves, owners Janis and Steve Larson are a wealth of knowledge coming from 32 years of experience. “When we first got married, we really enjoyed collecting antiques and restoring items for ourselves,” Janis says, so much that the couple decided to move out West from Idaho to open a furniture restoration shop in 1981. Still thrilled by restoration today, the Larsons do full restorations and partial restorations and they also carry supplies with advice for the do-it-yourselfer. This shop is unique because of the many services it provides, among them an in-store ‘dip tank’ that strips paint and clears finishes from furniture and architectural pieces like doors, moldings, and windows. The tank stands 7 feet by 38 inches and is 30 inches deep. “We do big pieces by breaking them down or setting them in the tank and flipping them, like armoires or highboy dressers. We do kitchen jobs too, where people bring us their doors and drawers to strip, while they strip what’s left hanging on the walls themselves,” Janis says. With the new dip tank system, the shop is transitioning

into a green store. “We changed our system from a methylene chloride based stripper to a water based stripper that is environmentally friendly and completely biodegradable.” But the Larsons do more than strip furniture. “We do all stages of repair work, from simple gluing to carving & lathe work, as well as staining & finishing. We also do upholstery, and all kinds of different seat weaves, like caning—both hand and machine woven cane—and rush and Danish cord.” They also carry supplies for the do-it-yourselfer. “We have a showroom where we sell reproductions of antique hardware and all kinds of repair supplies, like glues, stains and finishes, including upholstery fabrics and leather, seatweaving supplies, and trunk supplies.” In addition to sales, the Larsons offer advice about how a product will react with your piece of wood or how to use it or why you should use one product over another, as they have personal experience with all their supplies, a benefit lacking in big-box stores. “People get their moneys worth when they come here,” Janis guarantees. Check the store’s website at restorationsupplies.com for a detailed explanation of services and monthly specials or call the Larsons at 541-929-6681. Drop in the store as well at 1321 Main St. in Philomath and visit the Facebook page.

Surfing Oregon for a Day or a Lifetime By Vera Westbrook

we give the basics in a two-hour lesson, it’s all about water time. If you don’t want the lesson, it’s $40 for the 24-hour package.” “For lessons, I take people to Otter Rock, the Devil’s Punchbowl, which is about five miles north of Newport—the Waikiki of Oregon in the summertime. It’s a family-oriented beach that’s mellow and protected from the Northwest winds. The swells are a lot smaller and manageable. I’ve taken kids out from 6 years old to grandmas who were 64.” For more information, visit Pura Vida Surf Shop at 1327 Main St. in Philomath in summer from 10-5 W-Sat and 10-1 on Mondays. Also visit the website at www.pvsurfshop.com or call 541-929-SURF (7873). ZACH WEDDLE

testament that surfers don’t need to live in California or Hawaii to catch a wave. Born into a military family, Rube has traveled the world and surfs wherever he lives. Today Rube’s home is Oregon, where he enjoys the sport so much that he and two other fellow surfers, Al Krieger and Jim Dagata, opened the Pura Vida Surf Shop off Highway 20 in Philomath. (Pura vida means ‘pure life’ from Rube’s Costa Rican surf days.) Surfing since he was 12, Rube started building surfboards in 1996 under the logo of ‘Robert’s Northwest Surfboards.’ He’s shaped about 700 surfboards since then. The shop first opened about 10 years ago after Rube landed a contract for the Taco Del Mar chain and placed about 250 surfboards in ocean/beachthemed restaurants. Today Rube surfs on Oregon beaches every Tuesday year round—weather permitting—and works at his shop year round as well. Rube considers spending time at the shop a pleasure and says it differs

from other Oregon surf shops. “We’re a full-service surf and skate shop that offers rentals, lessons, and board building as well as board repair on-site,” he says. “At other shops, you’ll talk to a shaper and he’ll go back to his place where he’ll build or repair the board and then bring it back to the store. Here, you can be part of the process from start to finish. That goes for repairs as well. When a board comes in, it stays here and never leaves. Some people like to be able to watch and learn about the board building process. It’s their board, so why not have them be part of the process.” Besides selling surf and skate goods, Rube’s shop caters to those looking to surf for a one-day experience without the expense of buying equipment. “We do rentals and lessons here as well. For surfing, we take people out in the summertime and we give lessons at $65 for two hours.,” he says, “that includes a 24-hour rental package, with a surfboard, wetsuit, gloves, and boots that you can use after the lesson. After

OSU Sports By Kirsten Albright Oregon State’s Sam Kuschnick isn’t your typical linebacker. He tore his MCL during a semifinal game against Springfield in November and then went on to play in the state championship, recording 4.5 tackles despite the torn ligament. Then, instead of spending the offseason recuperating, he chose to compete in a second sport-bareback riding. Kuschnick grew up in Oregon and went to Silverton High School, where he set records and raked in the awards. The 6-foot, 200-pound linebacker was named the 2014 5A Defensive Player of the Year, first-team All-State, second-team American Family Insurance All-USA and earned a preferred walk-on position with the Oregon State Beavers. Bareback Bronc Riding Then, during his junior year of high school, Kuschnick began riding bucking horses, learning from someone, a ten year rodeo

veteran. Bareback bronc riding is a fairly straightforward sport that can take a lifetime to master. The rider tries to stay on the horse for eight seconds without touching the horse with his free hand. On the first jump out of the chute, the rider must have the heels of his boots in contact with the horse above the point of the shoulders before the horse’s front legs hit the ground.

As of press time we couldn’t locate a press photo of Kuschnick. Due to his speed, stamina and lightening moves, we decided to call him, “The Shadow”.

A rider that manages to complete a ride is scored on a scale of 0-50 and the horse is also scored on a scale of 0-50. Scores in the 80s are very good, and scores in the 90s are exceptional. Though he’s only been riding bareback for a year, he’s already turning heads. Kuschnick twice earned a personal best of 74 points and has regularly ridden horses for the full eight seconds. By finishing second in the 2014 Oregon High School Rodeo state finals, Kuschnick earned a spot at the National High School Rodeo finals in Wyoming. He placed 39 out of 57 riders at the national rodeo with an average score of 58, just a few short months after his first ride. In June 2015 he took first place in bareback riding at the Oregon High School Rodeo state finals. Back to OSU Football Kuschnick is set to join the team for fall camp in August. Seasoned football watchers know that if he ends up being a linebacker, his job description will not be simple. It is said that ‘linebackers [who are appropriately named because they stand, and rove, behind the defensive line] are the defensive quarterbacks and coaches on the field, beginning every play by giving the defensive call-then they do their best to get to the ball, wherever it is, FAST.’ With Kuschnick’s talents, and toughness, he should do well.

The Beavers first game is Sept. 4, in Corvallis, at 5pm, against Weber State-televised on Pac-12 networks. Go to www.osubeavers. com for a complete schedule.

Oregon Community Connection Magazine Summer 2015 Edition

Information for the Covered Bridge Map Street Directions code: N, S, W, E = Polar directions; L = left; R = Right; mi = mile; st = street; crk = creek; etc. To make the most out of your covered bridge trek, notice the groupings and plan your day accordingly. Be sure to look for the truss type that supports the bridge you are visiting. There are a few reasons why the Howe truss was most commonly used; primarily it was its simple design strength over long distances coupled with its vertical steel tie-rods that allowed maintenance crews to adjust as needed.

Cascadia was covered but is now uncovered, its uniqueness is the upside-down Howe.

Each bridge has their own unique history. To get the most out of a covered bridge outing it is suggested by our staff that visitors stop in at the local library, museum and/or chamber of commerce. And, while you are in the town, be sure to check out the downtown business district for food and shopping. www.OregonCommunityConnection.com

Clean and Healthy Pork

Wuergler Family Farms 541-836-2601

It’s a comfort to know that Wuergler Family Farms in Drain emphasizes the humane treatment of animals on their customraised pork farm. The Wuergler’s strive to do what’s right while respecting the land and treating animals humanely to sustain local communities. “Our pigs are bred healthy in a clean environment, coming from good breeding stock with solid genetics,” say owners Steve and Bonnie Wuergler. “We use a quality feed program with whole grains and no growth hormones. “Because of our low-stress livestock handling coupled with daily interactions with family members, our champion quality show pigs have fine dispositions combining friendliness and curiosity. During farrowing (birthing) time it is not uncommon to pull all-nighters; pigs don’t groom their young when born, so we try to be in the barn with every birth to insure the babies are clean and dry and at least know how to find a teat in order to get their first colostrum.” “Steve is on the board of Oregon Pork Producers and has served on the National Pork Board, staying on top of industry issues. Our animal care providers and our farm are Pork Quality Assurance Plus certified.” For Quality meat at a reasonable price, Call Today.

Drain, Oregon

The Wuergler Family Farm is currently breeding Yorkshire, Hampshire, Berkshire, Duroc and Crossbred pigs for the spring 4-H/FFA project season as well as filling our customers’ orders for quality pork. “As we continue to grow we hope to have pigs of all age groups available throughout the year. We recommend you place your orders early so we can pick the best animals to ‘meat’ your needs. What is a Trust? We thank all our current and new customers for your “I’m working my estate plan, continued business.” •Steve on & Bonnie•

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

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

in the Cascade Mountain Range, 100 miles east of Roseburg, the Umpqua River snakes its way 111 miles past Roseburg to where it empties into the Pacific Ocean at Winchester Bay. Simply put, the Scenic Umpqua River Valley stretches from Roseburg where the North Umpqua and South Umpqua meet (six miles northwest of Roseburg), to its mouth at Winchester Bay. The river and its valleys are famous for many things, including world class fishing, scenic trails, logging and, more recently, wine. In the early 1800’s the Umpqua River valley was inhabited mostly by the Coquilles, a tribe of Native Americans. The tribe gave most of its land to the United States in the 1854 Treaty with the Umpqua

and Kalapuya, agreeing to move to a reservation in Lincoln County and become part of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz. The river itself is named for the Umpqua, one of the Coquille bands. Two translations of the Native American word “umpqua” are “thundering waters” and “across the waters”. Since the early pioneer days, the river and surrounding areas helped produce and move the greatest wealth in Southern Oregon-timber and gold. Sailing vessels and steam schooners would arrive at Winchester Bay and their hard-to-get merchandise would be loaded onto river boats that would carry the goods to Scottsburg, where the deep tidewater ends and the rapids begin. There, the goods would be re-loaded onto mule trains and head for the interior valley and Roseburg.

On the turn-around trip the mule trains would be loaded with timber and gold from the valley and sent back to be re-loaded at Scottsburg for the final leg to Winchester Bay. This all worked fine until devestating floods of the 1860s wiped out most of Scottsburg, sinking it into obscurity. Also, at the same time, advancements of the north/south railroad lines in the valley, made shipping more predictable. Today, the Umpqua River is famous for some of the world’s best fly-fishing, salmon fishing, and sturgeon fishing. It is also known for its small-mouth bass, striped bass, and shad population. The river and its heavy summer steelhead run was made famous when writer and sports angler Major Lawrence Mott, also known as the “millionaire reporter”, set up a fishing camp in the area in 1929.

To Present by Kirsten Albright

In 1931, the Umpqua received even more attention when one of the most famous western novelists of the time, Zane Grey, set up camp and began fishing the river.

The Umpqua River Valley’s most recent claim to fame is its wine industry. The first vineyard was planted by pioneer and pathfinder Jesse Applegate, in Yoncalla, in 1876. Today the Umpqua River Valley is home to 23 wineries, 22 of which are family owned and n operated. Hotter and drier than the Willamette Valley wine region and cooler than the Rogue and Applegate wine regions, the Umpqua Valley provides several microclimates that allows it to produce over 40 varieties of wine. ‘It is interesting to note that the Umpqua Valley region is found on the 43N & 44N latitudes which also run through some of Europe’s finest wine growing districts.’-Wines NW

What to do on Virginia Avenue? This is a street you don’t want to miss. If you need anything Mexican from candy to produce, or you have a yen for some award winning Tai food, or your hair styled, fuel for the car, groceries, a gift for someone special, burgers, steaks or pizza-and you want to stay away from the fast paced ‘touristy’ areasVirgina Avenue is the place for you!

Catch Your Dinner in Charleston By Colette Kimball

A bounty of fresh seafood is available through-

out the year off Oregon’s coast. If you’re headed to Charleston this fall and want to try catching your own dinner, here’s a few suggestions: • Salmon fishing happens throughout the summer. By August and September the salmon will be running in the bay. • Tuna will also be available through August and September. You can charter a boat or buy tuna off the dock.

• Crabbing picks up in September and October. You can crab off the docks, in the bay, or out in the ocean. • Bay clamming happens year-round in Charleston. • Rock fishing is always good, weather permitting. Thanks to Rob Gensorek, owner of Basin Tackle in Charleston for keeping us updated.

Exploring The Southern Part Of The Cape Arago Highway Personal Story by Colette Kimball, Photos by Rick Obst

On a bluff high above the ocean,

a short rock wall separates me from the sea crashing onto the rocks of Cape Arago below. The wind off the water stings my face and carries with it the roar of the ocean and salty sea spray. The resiliency of the shoreline amazes me; it is constantly pounded by the Pacific Ocean and continues to stand strong. I shift my attention to the horizon, wondering at the history that has passed these shores. I have these views mostly to myself, because the southern Oregon coast gets fewer travelers than the rest of our coast line. Therefore it makes an ideal weekend getaway. Prior to this trip, I knew very little about the Coos Bay, North Bend and Charleston area. Luckily, for three days this past spring I stayed in Charleston and had time to explore Cape Arago. Only three miles separates Sunset Bay from Cape Arago State Park, yet along this short span of the Cape Arago Highway you will find tantalizing views of a lighthouse, impressive ocean vistas, three different State Parks, and numerous opportunities to enjoy wildlife. As a bonus, hiking trails connect the three parks offering an alternative way to experience this scenic shore line. 1. Sunset Bay State Park Sandstone bluffs protect the bay and beaches at Sunset Bay, which over the years has been used by the Coos Indians for launching sea-going canoes and later as a safe harbor for fishing boats during storms. Visitors today will enjoy easy access to the sandy beaches for beachcombing and bird watching,

excellent tide pooling, and calm water for swimming and boating. The park offers plenty of picnic tables and a campground with tent and RV camping as well as eight yurts. A public golf course is located nearby. 2. Cape Arago Lighthouse Located on Chief ’s Island, the Cape Arago Lighthouse tantalizingly beckons just off shore. This is the third lighthouse to stand on this island. The first was built in 1866 and both it and the next were lost to erosion. The present lighthouse was constructed in 1934. Chief ’s Island was returned to the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians in 2013. Though access to the island is no longer possible, the Cape Arago Lighthouse viewpoint provides a nice vantage point. 3. Shore Acres State Park In the early 1900s, lumberman Louis Simpson built a grand estate at Shore Acres on a bluff overlooking the ocean. Today, an observation building now stands at the site of Simpson’s mansion, offering interpretive panels of the estate’s history and protection for winter storm watchers. All that remains of the grand estate are the lush gardens which change along with the seasons – rhododendrons, roses, and dahlias all have their time to shine, with the Festival of Lights each winter perhaps shining brightest of all. 4. Shell Island Interpretive Stop The observation platform at the Shell Island Interpretive Stop offers views to Shell Island and Simpson

Reef. The Island and reefs are part of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge, which provides breading grounds and resting areas for many marine mammals and sea birds. 5. Cape Arago State Park At the very end of the highway, Cape Arago State Park sits on a bluff high above the ocean. A State Park since the early 1930s, this scenic headland provides outstanding ocean panoramas. Two steep trails take visitors down below the cliffs. The North Cove Trail offers views of Shell Island, plus access to the beach for fishing and beachcombing. Picnic tables dot the trail, some located in protected nooks with excellent views out to the ocean. The steep South Cove Trail takes you to a secluded cove with access to tide pools. With all that Cape Arago provided over the long weekend – sandy beaches, impressive ocean views, manicured gardens, local Oregon history, and nursing harbor seals at Simpson’s Reef – I spent the last afternoon descending the South Cove Trail at Cape Arago State Park. It was an outing timed to coincide with low tide. In contrast to the windbuffeted bluffs above, the secluded beach provided a peaceful break. I took off my jacket to enjoy the sunshine, while searching the tide pools for sea anemones, hermit crabs, and other critters rarely seen. It was a fitting end to an enjoyable weekend.

Egyptian Theatre Offers Historic Spin on Entertainment By Vera Westbrook

After years of restoration, the

Egyptian Theatre in Coos Bay is now open to the public. A first-run movie theatre in the past, the Egyptian today is owned by the City of Coos Bay and operated by the Egyptian Theatre Preservation Association. With the help of executive director/ theatre manager Kara Long, volunteers run the theatre, selling popcorn and tickets for movies more than 5 years old, live performances, and both public and private events. “We’re a mixed bag of family films, classics, event films, music on the stage and comedy shows,” Long says, with movies like ‘The Princess Bride’ that saw 500 people in three days. “At this point we’ve seen about 20,000 people before the first year of operations. Beer and movie nights are also extremely popular, with the help

of local breweries, as are fundraisers like the Clam Bake Jazz Festival.” The theatre is also for rent for events like weddings, award ceremonies, and parties for holidays or birthdays. Its 1925 Egyptian décor includes four original painted stage backdrops with a functional Wurlitzer pipe organ from the 1920s. When in downtown Coos Bay, visit the theatre’s ornate interior on 229 S. Broadway St. For photos and events, see the website at www.egyptiantheatre.org and the Facebook page at Egyptian Theatre Coos Bay. Upcoming events include the Teen Idol competition on Aug.

6, 13, 20 and the last of the Harry Potter Series ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 2’ at 7:30pm on Aug. 14, 15 and at 7pm on Aug. 16. On Sept. 18 see ‘American Graffiti,’ a fundraiser for the Oregon Coast Music Association, and on Sept. 19 attend the Country Music Showdown State Finals. On Nov. 13-15 visit the theatre’s 90th Anniversary Celebration, and on Nov. 27-29 see the movie ‘Elf.’ At noon on Dec. 12 hear the 41st Annual Sounds of Christmas Wurlitzer Organ and Brass Band Concert.

World War I — Toledo, Oregon — and Sitka Spruce PART THREE by Finn J.D. John

The town of Toledo as it appeared in 1911, before the Army’s spruce mill was built on the island in the bay. (Postcard image, Salem Public Library)

The Coast Range town of Toledo turned out to be perfect. Toledo sits on the Yaquina River, just inland from the sea, close to the upstream limit of the estuary. In 1917 it was a small timber town with several hundred people, most of whom

worked at one of the three sawmills on its outskirts. Toledo is situated on a wide bend in the Yaquina River, and there’s a broad, low 60-acre island of reclaimed tidal flats in the middle of it. It was on this island that the War Department

decided to build its mega-mill. Soon soldiers and laborers were hard at work on a massive, state-of-the-art sawmill, a million-dollar mill. But before they could finish, the Germans surprised everyone by abruptly losing

the war.

This Spad C.VII, flown by Italian pilot Ernesto Cabruna, is on display at the Museo Storico dell’Aeronautica Militare in Vigna di Valle, Italy. This aircraft almost certainly contained at least some Oregon spruce. (Image:Martin Bergner)

Now what? That put the brakes on the sawmill project fast. After the end of hostilities, Americans were in no mood to continue spending money building warplanes that they thought they’d never again need. Congress, feeling that President Wilson had been altogether too eager to get the government into businesses, pulled back sharply on the reins. So the War Department put the whole works up for sale — the mammoth almost-finished

sawmill, a short railroad line, timberlands with nearly 800 million board feet of standing timber, everything. A year or so later, a group of investors headed by C. Dean Johnson and his son, C. Dean Johnson II, came forward with a $2 million offer, which has to have been the deal of the decade. By the early 1920s, the Pacific Spruce Co. was a thriving concern, with roughly 1,000 employees, and Toledo was, for all practical purposes, a company town.

It was also, for many years after that, the spruce capital of the world — and the spawning grounds of some of the world’s best aircraft, even well into World War II. • (Sources: Cox, Ted W.
